The Female Lead Wants Me to Take My Medicine [Quick Transmigration] 37p1

Chapter 37p1: The Young Miss in the Wheelchair 37

At the end of summer, Chairman Xi held her resignation meeting. Although she knew the outcome, she still held the meeting.

The CEO of the Xi Corporation was elected by a show of hands from the shareholders. After that, Chairman Xi would retire behind the scenes and gradually relinquish her power.

At first, the scene was quite intense. Xi Pingxian and Xi Hanran were neck and neck, each holding their own ground.

However, a considerable number of people had not yet spoken and were waiting to see what would happen.

At the height of the tension, Chairman Xi’s assistant said, “Then, those who support Xi Pingxian, please raise your hands.”

A considerable number of people in the conference room raised their hands. They were all people Xi Pingxian was familiar with, but many others had not yet expressed their stance.

Xi Pingxian did not seem surprised. She divided the support votes into three parts. Her supporters were not few, so she still had a chance.

After the votes were counted, the election continued.

But at this moment, Xi Congshuang spoke, “I don’t think I need to be nominated. I withdraw from the election for the CEO of the Xi Corporation.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. It was a sure thing with just a nod, but she had actually given it up.

Xi Pingxian on the other side was even more surprised. Hadn’t Xi Congshuang been coming to the company despite her illness these days just for the position of CEO?

What was with giving up at the last minute?

Faced with numerous gazes, Xi Congshuang’s expression did not change. “My health is not good. I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle this heavy responsibility. I vote for Xi Hanran.”

What was even more strange was that the people who supported Xi Congshuang did not seem surprised. They must have been informed in advance. The only one who didn’t know was Xi Pingxian.

The subsequent result was, of course, self-evident.

Little Wang, who had not attended the meeting with Ni An and had been left in the assistant’s office, came to the office floor with a large bag of ice cream.

She was desperately trying to distribute the ice cream from Xi Congshuang’s office.

Little Wang gave one to everyone she saw, like a money-scattering child. “Don’t be polite, everyone. Come and have some afternoon tea.”

“Wow, I want the chocolate flavor.”

“Has Little Wang struck it rich recently? Treating everyone to such expensive ice cream?”

“Is there vanilla flavor? Ah, thank you, Little Wang~”

Little Wang almost wiped her sweat, thinking to herself, Please don’t ask. Just eat. Finish it before the boss appears!

Little Wang said with a smile, “Ah, no, no. Actually, I took them from Young Master Xi’s refrigerator. She can’t eat stimulating food recently due to her diet, so she told me not to waste it and to share it with everyone.”

“I see.”

“Then thank you, Young Master Xi, for the afternoon tea.”

“Opening champagne halfway? How pretentious.” Someone muttered, and Little Wang’s ears twitched.

Little Wang appeared with a whoosh and snatched the ice cream from his hand. “Eat it if you want, or don’t. So much nonsense.”

The employee was furious. “You…”

Little Wang put the ice cream in her pocket. “What, not convinced? I can eat two ice creams by myself and not get menstrual cramps. What’s it to you?”

The employee: “…”

Little Wang looked at another employee, who quickly waved his hands. “I didn’t agree with him. I didn’t.”

The employee who had timely cleared his name successfully saved the Häagen-Dazs in his hand.

Being able to afford it was one thing, but being willing to buy it to eat was another.

Besides, they were just colleagues and not very familiar. Who would be so stupid as to openly agree with someone who was criticizing the upper management?

Only then did Little Wang walk away with the empty bag.

She let out a long sigh of relief in the corridor behind everyone’s back. It was finally distributed.

Remembering the scene before her boss left the office, Little Wang still felt a lingering fear.

At that time, Xi Congshuang was looking for ice cubes in the refrigerator to put in her coffee. She opened the refrigerator door and saw it was full of popsicles and ice cream.

These were all things Cheng Zhishu loved to eat, and she had previously had someone replenish them regularly. But since Cheng Zhishu had left, everyone had tacitly agreed not to mention her.

But the boss had suddenly called out Xiao Shu’s name, and when there was no response, she had stared blankly for three seconds before continuing to work.

At that time, Xi Congshuang, in front of the refrigerator, was holding a cup of coffee. Her polite smile had quietly disappeared, and she stared at the refrigerator with indifference.

Little Wang, who was passing by: “!”

At that moment, Little Wang seemed to see a thick black aura emanating from her boss.

Oh my god, oh my god!

I forgot that Xiao Shu won’t be coming to the company anymore, and I still filled the boss’s refrigerator with ice cream as usual!!

What is this if not dancing on the boss’s minefield!!!

Little Wang’s soul left her body on the spot, as if she had seen the end of the world.

Who knew that Xi Congshuang would close the refrigerator, not drink her coffee, and call Ni An to leave.

Little Wang, who was left in the office to clean up the mess, could only hum “What’s wrong now, my young miss” while putting the ice creams into a bag and taking them out to distribute.

***

After the meeting, everyone filed out. Most of them surrounded Xi Hanran to congratulate her, a lively scene.

Xi Pingxian stood up abruptly and followed Xi Congshuang.

She walked a few quick steps to walk side by side with Xi Congshuang. Xi Pingxian said, “Are you willing to do this?”

Xi Congshuang said, “Why wouldn’t I be? This was the ending I had expected.”

As she spoke, she looked straight ahead. Xi Pingxian looked at her for a long time and really couldn’t see any unwillingness in her expression. She even seemed quite satisfied.

The corridor was covered with a thick carpet, which absorbed the sound of her heels. It was also at this moment that she realized that Xi Congshuang had changed a lot.

Her temperament was completely different from before. She preferred to plan before acting and was no longer radical.

But to let Xi Pingxian go just like that, she was still unwilling. “I didn’t know you had a hobby of making wedding dresses for others.”

It seemed that everyone always forgot one thing: Xi Congshuang was indeed a patient.

The day she would enter the operating room was not far away. Xi Pingxian didn’t know where she had heard the news that Xi Congshuang was going to have surgery, but she was thinking that if Xi Congshuang successfully took power, she would take advantage of her absence during the surgery.

At least it wouldn’t be difficult to temporarily usurp her power. Once the opening was made, things would not be difficult to solve.

Even if Xi Congshuang was stupid, she wouldn’t dare to run to Chairman Xi for help. That would be a sign of her incompetence.

Who knew that she would not take the usual path and would give up the position of CEO, completely disrupting Xi Pingxian’s plan.

Xi Congshuang: “It’s not too late for you to know now.”

With that, she sped up her wheelchair. Ni An, who was wearing flat shoes, quickly followed, skilled and fast.

Xi Pingxian: “…”

She, who was wearing eight-centimeter stilettos, couldn’t catch up at all.

She had failed to cause trouble for others and had instead caused trouble for herself.

After the meeting, Xi Congshuang did not leave the company immediately but took out a cup of coffee that had appeared from nowhere and opened the refrigerator door.

This time, she rummaged through the half-empty refrigerator for a long time before she found the ice cubes she wanted.

Seeing her pour the frozen ice cubes into her coffee, Little Wang looked at Xi Congshuang’s back, which was not emitting a black aura, and let out a sigh of relief.

Who knew that she would look at the refrigerator again with the coffee in her hand. After a while, Xi Congshuang turned her head and asked, “The ice cream, is it all gone?”

Little Wang: “…”

What’s wrong now, my young miss?

Didn’t you just stare at the refrigerator with an expression that said you wanted to blow it up?

Why are you looking for ice cream after a meeting?

Little Wang quickly asked, “What flavor would you like? I’ll go and buy it now.”

Xi Congshuang: “Blueberry.”

Little Wang: “I’ll go and buy it now.”

Just as she was about to leave the office, she suddenly remembered something and turned a corner to go to the pantry.

She took out the ice cream she had just snatched from the ungrateful person from the refrigerator, thinking to herself that her boss was really good at picking. The box she had snatched back was exactly the blueberry flavor.

After waiting for five minutes, Little Wang sent the box of ice cream into the office.

After Xi Congshuang finished eating, she left the company.

No one knew what she was thinking as she ate the ice cream while looking out the window.

After that day, Xi Congshuang stopped coming to the company and completely returned to her state of not leaving the house.

Only Assistant Ni could occasionally see Xi Congshuang. The location was not in Wenhai, as everyone thought, but in the hospital.

After a long time, Xi Congshuang returned to the place filled with the smell of disinfectant and changed into a soft, pure white hospital gown.

When Ni An knocked on the door and came in, the early autumn sunlight shone into the room and onto the hospital bed. The person leaning against the bed was as white as translucent, looking at the yellowing treetops outside the window.

Seeing this scene, Ni An was dazed and felt a sense of alarm.

It was as if her boss had really become a fragile snowflake, melting under the sun.

The person behind her couldn’t hold back and walked a few steps forward to the window to look out.

After a long while, Xi Hanran turned her head and asked, “What’s out there? Why are you so engrossed?”

Ni An: “…”

The atmosphere, the atmosphere! Executive Xi, don’t you look at the atmosphere at all!

Xi Congshuang’s pale lips moved slightly. “I’m looking at the trajectory of the falling leaves.”

Xi Hanran: “?”

These were not the words of someone who wanted to live.

“Imagining the scene of you flying unsteadily on a hang glider.” Xi Congshuang added calmly.

Xi Hanran: “That thing is still in the warehouse at Wencan. Don’t even think about it. I’ll be honest with you. I’m afraid of heights. I wouldn’t try it even if you killed me.”

Xi Congshuang nodded. “I know.”

Xi Hanran almost wanted to have her assistant throw away the fruit basket she had brought. “You knew and you still sent me a hang glider and a coach!?”

“…”

Xi Congshuang shifted her gaze and continued to look out the window. Xi Hanran couldn’t stand it and walked in front of her to block her view. “Why aren’t you talking?”

Xi Congshuang slowly lay down and pulled the blanket over her head. “I’m sleepy.”

Xi Hanran was so angry that she wanted to pull off her blanket and make her get up and argue again, but in the end, she couldn’t bear to and left quietly.

In the living room of the hospital suite, Xi Hanran pulled Ni An and asked, “With her mental state, can she really survive the surgery?”

This damn Xi Congshuang had kept the risks of the surgery a secret. If Xi Hanran hadn’t accidentally seen the medical records, she wouldn’t have known what she was up to.

A surgery with such a high failure rate, why go through all that trouble?

But if she were in her shoes, and someone had also advised her to give up, she probably wouldn’t have been willing either.

Ni An was also very helpless and could only say, “The boss has made up her mind. Chairman Xi can’t do anything about it either.”

Xi Hanran couldn’t sit still at all. She walked around the room and asked again, “That child, has there been no news from her?”

Ni An’s expression became even more helpless. She shook her head. “The boss said that this is as it should be. She can’t be blamed.”

“…”

Xi Hanran was visibly more irritable. If Xi Congshuang had seen her, she would have definitely said, “Executive Xi, you’re so unstable. You’ve really wasted my cultivation.”

Damn Xi Congshuang, she’s clearly her aunt!

She also had no idea what kind of argument Cheng Zhishu had had with Xi Congshuang before she left. The two of them, who were usually as close as one person, could bear not to contact each other.

Anyway, she couldn’t understand it.
