Honey-colored giants: Ex-wife is too hard to quit
Chapter 101 The Mysterious Appointment Letter
Chapter 101 The Mysterious Appointment Letter
Losing her job at Rainbow Group meant to Lan and Lin that she had lost her source of income.
Although she had a small amount of savings in the past two or three years, after subsidizing the reconstruction of the Dongshan Orphanage, her savings were not much left.
Xiao Yu has already started to go to school, and she is studying in an aristocratic school, and the annual tuition fee is not a small sum of money.
As Xiaoyu grows older, Lan Dailin will invest more and more in him. In addition to Xiaoyu's platelet count, Lan Dailin must treat Xiaoyu quickly. She does not want to see Xiaoyu's death. The condition progressed to the dreaded leukemia.
But to achieve all this, there is still a prerequisite, that is money, without money, she can't do anything, and she even has to watch Xiao Yu's disease develop into leukemia, helpless.
So she urgently needs to find a well-paying job now.
With her work experience in Rainbow Group, Lan Dailin believes that it should not be difficult for her to find a job with decent salary and decent salary.
But the facts made her very hurt. For several days in a row, the resumes she submitted were all gone, and there was no news at all.
There was also bad news from the headhunting company, and she suddenly found that finding a job was extremely difficult for her, as if there was an invisible hand manipulating something, making it difficult for her to move forward.
Thinking of what Ling Shao said in the office that day, Lan Dailin almost thought that it was Ling Shao's conspiracy, but soon she found that her thinking seemed to have gone wrong.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lan Dailin, who was frowning tightly, had a headache. She really didn't want to beg Ling Shao if possible, but now she had to go this way.
He took out his mobile phone and found Ling Shao's number. Lan Dailin was about to call, when the doorbell rang.
She turned her head to look in the direction of the door in doubt, a hint of doubt flashed in her heart?
Could it be that Lin Qian forgot to bring her keys when she went out to buy groceries?
The ringing of the doorbell continued, and Lan Dailin's courage to call Ling Shao with great difficulty quickly faded away because of the sudden ringing of the doorbell.
Opening the door of the apartment, Lan Dailin unexpectedly found that the person standing outside the door was not Lin Qian, but a young courier.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Does Miss Lan Dailin live here?" The young courier looked Lan Dailin up and down and asked.
"That's me, what's the matter with you?"
"Here is your courier, please sign for it!" The young courier escaped from his bag with a paper bag containing the courier, and took out a signature pen from his pocket and handed it to Lan Dailin.
"My courier? Did you make a mistake?" Lan Dailin looked at the courier in front of her in doubt and asked, she didn't remember what courier she had!
"It shouldn't be wrong! Look at the name and address here, is it right?" the courier asked, pointing to the courier slip.
Lan waited for Lin to check it carefully, and found that the address and name above were not wrong at all, but what made her puzzled was that the sender column was blank. Who on earth sent it?
"Please sign for it quickly, I still have a lot of orders to deliver!" The young courier said impatiently.
"Oh well!"
Lan Dailin took the signature pen handed over by the courier and signed her name on the courier slip, took the courier paper bag and turned back to the living room.
Ripping apart the courier paper bag casually, a bright red book appeared in front of Lan Dailin, with two large gilded characters "Letter of Employment" printed on the cover of the book.
letter of appointment?Where's the letter of appointment?
Lan waited for Lin to open the letter of appointment in doubt, and the content inside immediately jumped into her eyes.
"letter of appointment
According to the decision of the board of directors of the group, Zidun hired Ms. Lan Dailin as the assistant to the president of Ling Group for a term of three years. "
The official seal of the Ling Group is impressively stamped at the bottom corner.
Ling Group?Ling Shao?
Lan waited for Lin to look at the letter of appointment in her hand in astonishment, and Ling Shao's face with a lazy smile appeared in front of her eyes, and her face was immediately filled with hesitation, wondering whether she should accept this offer or not.
At this moment, her mobile phone on the coffee table rang. Lan Dailin thought it was Ling Shao, but when she picked it up, it turned out to be an email from a shadow.
"This is an opportunity, take advantage of it!"
An extremely short sentence, seeing this sentence, the face of the old horse suddenly appeared in front of Lan Dailin.
She originally thought that Ling Shao had won this job opportunity for her, but after seeing the email from Ying Ying, she realized that this matter had nothing to do with Ling Shao.
Originally, Lan Dailin had roughly guessed that the real identity of the shadow was Lao Ma, and this letter of appointment made her more sure of the identity of Lao Ma Ying.
As the assistant and secretary of the chairman of the Ling Group, it is not difficult for Lao Ma to get her a position in the Ling Group.
And as her father, it is reasonable for Lao Ma to help her.
What she couldn't figure out was why the shadow said this was an opportunity for her?
Is there some other meaning hidden in his words?
Lan Dailin was a little puzzled, but she still decided to accept the offer.
She is in urgent need of a job now. The position of assistant to the president of Ling Group is not low. At certain times and occasions, she can even perform the duties of the president on behalf of Ling Shao. More importantly, the salary of this job is also very generous. , but she has to face Ling Shao all day, and she has a headache when she thinks about it.
When she appeared in the Ling Group CEO's office the next day, she clearly saw a trace of surprise flash across Ling Shao's face.
"Why are you here? Figured it out?"
"I'm here to work!" Lan Dailin smiled at Ling Shao, and Ling Shao's reaction further proved her guess that he didn't know about the letter of appointment.
"Okay, I'll ask the Human Resources Department to arrange for you now! What position do you want?" Ling Shao was in a good mood, looking at Lan Dailin with smiles in his eyes.
"I want your place, can I?" Lan Dailin looked at him and laughed.
"This joke is not funny at all!" Ling Shao curled his lips, and gently took Lan Dailin's hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to the personnel department!"
"I've already been there!" Lan Dailin gently broke free from Ling Shao's warm palm, and smiled at him, "Boss Ling, let's get to know each other again! I'm your new assistant, my name is Lan Dailin, please Give me a lot of advice!"
"..."
Ling Shao looked at Lan Dailin with doubts in his eyes, as if he was confirming whether Lan Dailin was joking.
"I almost forgot, this is my letter of appointment!" Lan Dailin smiled and took out the letter of appointment from Shadow Express from her bag, and handed it to Ling Shao with both hands.
Seeing Ling Shao accepting the letter of appointment in doubt, opening it and carefully checking the content of the letter of appointment, and seeing the surprised expression on his face, Lan treated Lin very happily.
"I didn't expect you to have such great energy!" Ling Shao raised his head and his eyes sparkled.
"Can I start working now?" Lan Dailin didn't pay attention to Ling Shao's implication, but asked directly.
"Don't worry! I've granted you a day off, and now I'm going out!"
"Rest? Today is my first day at work, so why don't you give me a day off? I really don't know if meeting a boss like you is a good thing or a bad thing!" Lan Dailin looked at Ling Shao and shook her head slightly.
"It's up to you!" Ling Shao glanced at Lan Dailin with complicated eyes, and strode out.
Lan waited for Lin but did not leave according to Ling Shao's order, but started her work.
In fact, she can go back to rest, but as a self-disciplined strong woman, she does not allow herself to leave.
Ling Shao's office is very tidy, and it can be seen that Mo Ru takes care of it very carefully.
It's just that the stack of documents on the desktop is a bit messy at this moment. It is obvious that Ling Shao has just flipped through it just now. Lan waited for Lin to walk over with a calm expression, and carefully sorted out the documents on the desktop.
Seeing that the scattered documents became tidy in her hands, Lan Dailin felt a little satisfaction in her heart.
Just as she was sorting out the documents and preparing to go to the sofa to rest for a while, a photo frame on the desktop suddenly caught her attention.
There was a color photo in the photo frame, Zhao Zixuan was holding the baby in her arms, and she was standing beside Ling Shao, who was full of happiness in her brows and eyes, with a sweet face. The appearance of this photo made Lan Dailin slightly stunned.
If she remembers correctly, this photo should have been taken four years ago.
At that time, she and Ling Shao were still very affectionate, and their daughter Baobao was also very well-behaved and sensible. The life of the family was full of laughter.
It was a period of happiness that she will never forget.
It's just that what happened later hit her too hard, especially the death of her daughter's baby, which made her almost completely collapsed. If it wasn't for the fact that she was still pregnant with Xiaoyu, she would have jumped into it without Zhao Yun's push. In the cold river water, he ended his life.
When she saw the indelible smile on the baby's face in the photo, Lan Dailin slowly stretched out her hand and gently stroked the baby's face in the photo, with tears flashing from the corner of her eyes.
Baby, my daughter!
Suddenly the door of the office was pushed open, and Mo Ru's unexpected voice rang in her ears, "Miss Lan, why are you here? Where's President Ling?"
Lan waited for Lin to turn away, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned her head and smiled at Mo Ru, "Boss Ling has something to do! I'm helping him sort out the files!"
"I'm Boss Ling's secretary and assistant. I should be the one to do this kind of thing! Go and rest on the sofa for a while!" Mo Ru didn't feel grateful for Lan's treatment of Lin, but rather displeased.
"This is my job too!" Lan Dailin said while looking at Mo Ru with a smile.
"What did you say?" Mo Ru almost thought she had misheard, and frowned at Lan Dailin, her eyes full of doubts.
"I said this is also my job content! From today onwards, I will be President Ling's assistant. Miss Mo Ru, please take care of me in the future!" Lan Dailin showed a professional smile, and turned to Mo Ru, who was full of disbelief. Stretched out a slender palm.
"Miss Lan, are you kidding me? Why didn't Mr. Ling tell me?" Mo Ru ignored Lan's outstretched palm and looked at her in surprise.
Mo Ru didn't believe Lan's treatment of Lin at all. At this moment, she even thought that Lan's treatment of Lin was deliberately provoking her.
"This is the decision of the board of directors. Boss Ling just found out! He probably hasn't had time to tell you!" Lan Dailin looked at Mo Ru with a smile and said.
"Really?" There was suspicion in Mo Ru's eyes.
She thinks that Lan Dailin came to Ling Shao on purpose to ask to be Ling Shao's assistant, in order to get close to Ling Shao and get her away from Ling Shao's side.
"I think the HR department will notify you soon!" Lan Dailin smiled, walked slowly to the sofa and sat down.
"I'll go to the personnel department to verify this matter later." Mo Ru nodded, his eyes filled with worry.
She clearly realized what it meant to her that Lan treated Lin as Ling Shao's assistant.
This means that the little hope she finally saw will be completely wiped out because Lan waits for Lin to hang around in front of Ling Shao all day long.
She knew that she couldn't match the weight that Lan treated Lin in Ling Shao's heart. Originally, Lan treated Lin in Tianhong. As Ling Shao's assistant and secretary, she had a lot of opportunities to get in close contact with Ling Shao every day.
But now this opportunity has been infinitely equal to zero. It would be really strange if she was not depressed.
Lan Dailin obviously knew what Mo Ru was thinking, but she didn't point it out.
From the first time she met Mo Ru at the charity reception, Lan Dailin knew that Mo Ru liked Ling Shao, the kind of liking from the bottom of her heart.
If she could, she would not be willing to stand between them and be Ling Shao's assistant.
It should be said that Ling Shao was once very important to her, but now it has already become a thing of the past.
But now she must have a job, a job with a good salary and a stable salary. She can't just watch Xiao Yu's condition develop to the point of being out of control.
"Mo Ru, go get busy first! I'm fine here!" Lan Dailin didn't want to face Mo Ru, she could feel the hostility in Mo Ru's eyes looking at her.
It should be that Li Yuehua had told Mo Ru about her visit to Li Yuehua's house that day. As a woman who loves Ling Shao deeply, how could Mo Ru not be angry, how could she not be hostile to Lan Dailin, her rival in love?
Mo Ru nodded, and walked out with heavy steps. Instead of going to the personnel department to check whether Lan Dailin had officially become Ling Shao's assistant, she immediately dialed Ling Shao's phone number.
"Mr. Ling, where are you?" Mo Ru asked as calmly as possible.
"Is something wrong?"
"There is a more important document for you to deal with, can you hurry back?"
"I don't have time right now, let Assistant Lan figure it out!"
Hearing Ling Shao's answer on the phone, Mo Ru's face turned gloomy. Sure enough, it was Ling Shao who made Lan treat Lin as Ling Shao's assistant.
What she is worried about now is, what will she do if Lan Dailin becomes Ling Shao's assistant?
Should she take off the burden of being an assistant and concentrate on being Ling Shao's secretary, or will she be transferred away from Ling Shao's side?
In her opinion, perhaps the second possibility is greater, but she can't do anything about it.
Ling Shao casually hung up the phone in his hand, and urged Aqiang who was in the driver's seat, "How much longer?"
"Boss, here we are!"
Standing at the gate of Ling Yuantu's villa again, Ling Shao felt a little unhappy.
Since he took over the Ling Group, he has only been to Ling Yuantu's manor twice in the past three years. Ling Yuantu took the initiative to ask him to come.
This is the third time he has set foot here, but this time he came to find Ling Yuantu on his own initiative.
Standing at the gate of the villa, looking at the courteous maid who came to open the door for him, Ling Shao looked through the gate of the villa and asked suspiciously, "Where is the old horse?"
Usually at this time, the old horse would appear at the door of the villa immediately, but today he didn't show up and was replaced by a maid, which made Ling Shao feel a little strange.
"The butler was in a car accident when he was out on errands two days ago, and he's still in the hospital now!"
"What about the chairman?"
"The chairman is upstairs!"
Ling Shao nodded and strode upstairs.
The maid stood at the door and watched Ling Shao's figure disappear into the corner of the stairs, without saying a single word from the beginning to the end.
Here she has no right to judge Ling Shao's actions at all.
Slowly pushing open the door of the study, Ling Shao unexpectedly found that Ling Yuantu, who should be sitting in the study or practicing calligraphy at this time, is not in the study.
The study was very quiet, the desk next to the window was very tidy, without a speck of dust, which surprised Ling Shao, Ling Yuantu was not in the study, where did he go at this time?
Could it be that he knew Ling Shao was coming and avoided it on purpose?
Ling Shao slowly closed the calligraphy door, walked slowly to the door of Ling Yuantu's bedroom, knocked on the door lightly, and then slowly opened the door.
Seeing Ling Yuantu who was lying on the bed with a sallow complexion and obviously lost a lot of weight, Ling Shao seemed a little surprised.
This was the first time he saw Ling Yuantu like this, and he didn't understand what happened to make Ling Yuantu, who had always been stubborn and unwilling to lie on the bed for even a second longer, was still lying on the bed at this time.
Suspicious eyes followed Ling Yuantu's closed eyes slowly downward, and soon landed on the back of Ling Yuantu's exposed hands.
There are obviously more than a dozen dense red dots on the back of the hand, distributed very regularly, all above the meridians, Ling Shao's eyes flashed, and he instantly knew why Ling Yuantu was still lying on the bed at this time.
he is sick!
It seems that the illness is not serious, otherwise there would not be so many needle holes left by the infusion on the back of the hand.
Seeing Ling Yuantu, who was obviously a little sick at this time, a gleam of joy flashed in Ling Shao's eyes.
"Are you here to see my joke?" Ling Yuantu, whose eyes were closed at some point, has opened them. Although he is still sick, his gaze is still sharp.
"I'm not in such a good mood!" Ling Shao sneered, with dissatisfaction written in his eyes, "I have something to ask you!"
"That's right, it's me!" Ling Yuantu didn't wait for Ling Shao to ask the question in his heart, and admitted it directly.
"Did you know my purpose early in the morning?"
"What do you think? Otherwise, you would stand here so smoothly?" Ling Yuantu looked at Ling Shao, with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, and suddenly chuckled, "You want to ask me why I did that?"
"That's right! I'm curious, what are you going to do?"
"You have no right to know what I do!" Ling Yuantu replied to Ling Shao forcefully.
Ling Shao's eyes shone brightly, "You should understand, I've always hated you meddling in my affairs!"
"Then you can fire her!" Ling Yuantu looked at Ling Shao with a playful smile in his eyes, "But are you really willing?"
"As expected, you still don't want to let me go! Ling Yuantu, it was like this three years ago, and it's still like this now! You're always so self-righteous!" Ling Shao looked at Ling Yuantu coldly, with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
"You're wrong, I'm doing it for your own good!" Ling Yuantu closed his eyes slowly after finishing speaking, "I'm tired, you can go!"
Ling Shao snorted softly, took a deep look at Ling Yuantu on the bed, turned around and strode away.
"Mr. Ling, are you back? I have sorted out the documents on the desk for you, and you can start working at any time." Lan Dailin, who was resting on the sofa, saw Ling Shao push the door into the office with a displeased face. , slowly stood up from the sofa.
"You don't want to ask where I went just now?" Ling Shao's eyes flickered with an unknown light, and he looked down at Lan Dailin's and asked.
"This is your own business, not within my scope of work!" Lan Dailin replied coldly.
"Oh?" Ling Shao took the time to look at Lan Dailin, with a slight smile on his lips, "You don't want to know, but I have to tell you! I just went to see Ling Yuantu!"
"You went to the chairman's manor?" Lan Dailin looked at Ling Shao in surprise and asked.
"That's right!" Ling Shao nodded with a smile, "It can be seen that the chairman thinks highly of you!"
"I don't understand what you mean by that!" Lan Dailin was secretly surprised, as if Ling Shao meant something else.
"Really? You don't want to ask anything else?" Ling Shao looked at Lan Dailin with a half-smile and asked.
"What do you want me to ask?" Lan waited for Lin to raise her head and look directly into Ling Shao's eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.
"Assistant Lan, you seem to have made a mistake!" Ling Shao's eyes twinkled, and his tone suddenly became low. "I advise you, stay away from Ling Yuantu! He is very dangerous!"
"More dangerous than you?" Lan Dailin looked at Ling Shao with a half-smile and asked.
"I'm dangerous in your eyes?" Ling Shao's lazy eyes flashed with curiosity.
"Of course!" Lan Dailin chuckled and asked casually, "I remember that the chairman has an assistant named Lao Ma, have you seen him?"
"No, the old horse had a car accident and has been in the hospital for the past few days!"
"A car accident? Hospitalized?" A trace of worry flashed across Lan Dailin's eyes.
She never thought that Lao Ma would be in a car accident at all. Lao Ma is her biological father. Although he has not fulfilled his father's responsibilities for a day, the blood connection cannot be severed.
She was suddenly worried, worried about the old horse's injury.
"You care about Lao Ma very much!" Ling Shao's eyes flashed with curiosity, "How do you know him?"
"I went to the manor some time ago, and I had a good impression of him! Why, are you worried?" Lan Dailin looked at Ling Shao with a half-smile and asked, "Are you jealous?"
"Am I that unconfident?" Ling Shao suddenly smiled, turned around and walked behind the desk, "It's getting late, start working!"
For the whole day, Lan and Lin were in a daze.
She was still worried about Lao Ma's injury until she got off work.
Thinking of the day when she took Lin Qian to find Lao Ma, but was blocked by the manor's bodyguards, she suddenly realized that Lao Ma's car accident was an opportunity for her and Lin Qian.
A chance to meet the old horse, thinking of Lin Qian's ecstasy these days, Lan felt a little guilty when she treated Lin, she decided to take Lin Qian to find the old horse, to find her biological father.
Hearing that Lao Ma was in a car accident and was hospitalized, Lin Qian seemed very nervous, and begged Lan Dailin to take her to see Lao Ma, but Lan Dailin didn't know which hospital Lao Ma lived in for the time being, if she asked one by one , I still don’t know when to ask to go!
She suddenly heard that she had Lao Ma's contact information, or the shadow's contact information, since she didn't know, why didn't she ask him directly?
This time Shadow replied quickly, looking at the hospital name and ward number on the phone screen, Lan Dailin seemed a little excited.
With the distraught Lin Qian, Lan Dailin rushed to the hospital and found the ward.
Standing at the door of Lao Ma's ward, Lin Qian suddenly dared not go in.
"Mom, why are you standing still and not going in?" Lan Dailin looked at Lin Qian strangely and asked.
"Dai Lin, I..." Lin Qian's eyes were full of hesitation, "I'm afraid..."
They haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, and the two who were once in love have become strangers. Thinking of her and Lao Ma's daughter Zhao Zixuan, Lin Qian didn't know how to face Lao Ma for a while.
Lan waited for Lin to gently put her hand on Lin Qian's shoulder, and her eyes full of encouragement fell directly into Lin Qian's eyes, "Mom! There is nothing to be afraid of! Didn't you always want to see him and ask him Why didn't you come back to find your mother and daughter back then? This is the best opportunity, don't you want to know the answer?"
"But... but Zixuan died, I don't know how to explain this to him! Will he hate me because of this, will he not want to see me?" Lin Qian looked at Lan and Lin timidly, asked with a worried face.
"I promise you, it won't! Nothing you worry about!"
Because your daughter Zhao Zixuan is standing in front of you alive, not dead yet, how could father hate you?
Lan Dailin didn't say the latter sentence, and didn't plan to say it for the time being.
"Really? Dai Lin, is what you said true? He really won't hate me? Will he not see me?" Lin Qian's face was full of uncertainty.
"Mom, you are so hesitant, the time for visiting the doctor is over! Don't you plan to know the questions that have been hidden in your heart for so many years? If you don't have the courage to open this door today, you won't be here in the future." You will have the courage to come to see him! I haven’t seen him for more than 20 years, don’t you miss him? Isn’t it like asking him why he hasn’t come back to you for so many years?”
"But...but..." Lin Qian was a little excited by what Lan had said to Lin. The questions that had been hidden in her heart for so many years could now be answered. It was really not reconciled to make her retreat now, but she still couldn't afford it. courage.
"It's nothing! Don't worry, I'll go in with you!" Lan Dailin grabbed Lin Qian's arm, pushed open the door of the ward, and pulled her in.
Lao Ma was sitting on the bed at this moment, seeing Lan Dailin who suddenly barged in and Lin Qian beside her, his expression was a bit surprised. '
Especially when he saw Lin Qian's white hair, wrinkled face, and unknown gleams in his eyes, he was very excited.
"Wei, Wei Zhong... is that you? Is it really you?" Lin Qian walked to the hospital bed, looked at the old horse on the bed, and asked excitedly.
"It's me! I'm Wei Zhong, Ma Weizhong!" Ma looked at Lin Qian with excitement in his eyes.
"You're not dead! You're really not dead!" Lin Qian suddenly grabbed Ma Weizhong's hand excitedly, tears streaming down her dimpled cheeks, "I knew you were still alive, I knew you were still alive all these years !"
"Qianqian, my Qianqian!" Lao Ma suddenly hugged Lin Qian, tears rolling down the corners of his eyes.
Seeing the two hugging each other and crying, Lan Dailin's eyes and feet became moist unconsciously.
Since Ma Weizhong received a task from his superiors to fight drugs in Yunnan more than 20 years ago, Lin Qian's heart has been filled with thoughts of Ma Weizhong, and their family has been incomplete for more than 20 years.
Today, more than 20 years later, two people who love each other get together again, the thoughts in their hearts, the pain they have endured over the years.was released.
A family that has been broken for more than 20 years can become complete again. At this time, Lan Dailin really wanted to pounce on Ma Weizhong and Lin Qian and shout, "Mom and Dad!"
But she can't, she really can't!
Her work has not been done yet, and she cannot reveal her true identity so quickly.
Seeing her biological parents right in front of her eyes, but unable to recognize each other at all, no one can bear this kind of pain, but she has to bear it.
She vowed that one day, she would meet them, reveal her identity as Zhao Zixuan, live in the sun without any burden, and live with them.
Tightly pursing her lower lip, Lan Dailin resisted the urge to come forward to recognize each other, turned around slowly and walked out of the ward with great difficulty, and gently closed the door of the ward, the tears in Lan Dailin's eyes couldn't help it The billows rolled down, blurring her eyes and everything about her.
She knew that Lin Qian and Ma Weizhong, the fateful mandarin ducks who hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years, must have endless things to say and parting sorrows. At this time, Lan treated Lin would not disturb them, nor could she bear to disturb them.
Sitting on the chair outside the ward, Lan Dailin couldn't calm down until Lin Qian slowly opened the door of the ward and walked out, and she gradually calmed down from her excitement.
Lin Qian reappeared in front of her eyes. Although her hair was still gray and the wrinkles on her face were still deep, her spirit was incomparably uplifting. She seemed to be many years younger all of a sudden, and her whole body was full of vitality.
"Dai Lin, your godfather wants to see you!" Standing in front of Lan Dai Lin, Lin Qian said kindly to her.
If it wasn't for the word "godfather", Lan Dailin would almost suspect that Lin Qian already knew her identity.
The way Lin Qian looked at her changed obviously. Although the two of them were already close before, Lan and Lin could still feel a little estrangement, but now she was surprised to find that the invisible estrangement was gone.
The way Lin Qian looks at her now is exactly like looking at her own child.
Full of love, kindness, and the face is full of maternal brilliance.
Lan waited for Lin to know that Lin Qian's changes were all because of Lao Ma, because of her father, and she was very curious about what Lao Ma said to Lin Qian, which would make her change so much.
"Silly boy, what are you still doing? Come in! Don't make your godfather wait too long!" Lin Qian looked at Lan Dailin affectionately and urged with a smile.
"Okay! I'm going now! Godmother, you rest here for a while! I'll be back soon!"
Lan waited for Lin to help Lin Qian to sit on the chair she was sitting in just now, tidied up her appearance nervously, then gently pushed open the door of the ward, and walked in full of excitement.
"Uncle Ma!" Looking at the old horse leaning against the bed, Lan waited for Lin to hesitate for a moment, but she still couldn't say the "Dad" that had been held in her heart for more than [-] years.
"Silly boy, do you still call me Uncle Ma?" the old horse gently took Lan Dailin's hand and said slightly reproachfully, his eyes suddenly filled with encouragement.
"Dad!" Encouraged by the old horse, Lan Dailin finally blurted out the title that she had suppressed countless times in her heart. At this moment, she felt a satisfaction that she had never had before.
"Son! I have suffered for you all these years!" The old horse gently held Lan Dailin in his arms, and said with a guilty face, "As a father, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father for a day, and you have suffered So many grievances! I am not a competent father!"
"No! I feel lucky to have you as my father! You have helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would be like now!" Lan Dailin looked up at the old horse gratefully and said.
What Lao Ma said proved that he knew Lan Dailin's true identity early in the morning, which also directly proved that he was the shadow.
"It seems that you already know it!" The old horse smiled and nodded, looking a little relieved.
"I know, I know! From the moment I knew you were my father, I knew it! The shadow is you, you are the shadow! In fact, I should have guessed that only parents would be willing to be the shadow of their children. Protect your children!"
Lan treated Lin a little annoyed.
"I did too little for you, too little! It's all my fault. If I had acted earlier, maybe you would not be what you are now! You don't have to live so hard. It is my father who is useless! He failed to protect me. My daughter, I failed to protect my granddaughter!" When he said this, Lao Ma felt very guilty.
"Dad, stop talking! I don't blame you, I never blamed you!" Lan Dailin looked at the old horse seriously and said, "I should actually thank you, thank you for helping me in my most difficult time! Otherwise, I’m still worrying about work, it’s you who gave me a stable job, and it’s you who kept Xiao Yu’s illness from getting worse!”
"Work? What kind of work?" Ma suddenly looked at Lan Dailin suspiciously and asked.
"You don't know?" Lan Dailin looked at the old horse in surprise, she could clearly feel that the old horse really didn't know about the letter of appointment.
"Know what?" Old Ma's eyes were full of doubts, and he still didn't understand what Lan Dailin was talking about.
"After I was dismissed by Tianhong, I have been worrying about work! I suddenly received a courier yesterday, which contained a letter of appointment, the letter of appointment for the assistant to the president of the Ling Group. Later, I also received your email. You said it was a job offer. Let me take advantage of this opportunity! Don’t you know all this?”
"I've been lying here for the past few days, and I haven't used any electronic devices. It's impossible to send you an email, and it's impossible to get you a letter of appointment for the assistant to the president of Ling's Group!" Ma said seriously.
"Not you? Who could it be?" Lan Dailin looked at the old horse strangely, and suddenly remembered what Ling Shao had said to her when he came back from Ling Yuantu's manor. He seemed to have said that Ling Yuantu valued her very much. Could it be Ling Yuantu?
"Son, what are you thinking?"
"I was wondering if it would be the chairman. It seems that no one can do this except the chairman!"
"Chairman? Impossible!" Lao Ma frowned tightly, "Based on what I know about the chairman, he would never do such a thing!" If it wasn't the chairman, who else would it be? "
And he wouldn't have the energy to do anything right now! "
Lan waited for Lin to believe what Lao Ma said, because after all, Lao Ma had been with Ling Yuantu for a long time, so he should know Ling Yuantu very well.
He said that Ling Yuantu couldn't do this kind of thing, so it must not be Ling Yuantu's doing.
What's more, Mu Yangcheng once said that Ling Yuantu was already in the late stage of lung cancer, and his time was running out. How could he have the energy to take care of such trivial matters as Lan's treatment of Lin?
Besides Ling Yuantu, who else would do this?
She really couldn't figure it out.
"Give me your phone!"
Lan Dailin didn't ask Lao Ma why she wanted her cell phone, and she handed it over without even the slightest hesitation.
Looking at the old horse skillfully playing with the mobile phone in his hand, Lan Dailin couldn't believe that the old horse was an old man who was almost 60 years old.
The old people nowadays are very stubborn and can't accept new things at all. In their view, the use of mobile phones is only to make and receive calls. There is no such thing as an old man like Lao Ma who plays with his mobile phone so slipperily.
But soon Lan felt relieved when she treated Lin. She had already seen how powerful Lao Ma was. He could block mobile phone signals as he wanted, and could tamper with the records in other people's computers. Perhaps the mobile phone in his hand should only be regarded as Pediatrics.
"My mailbox has been hacked!" After a long time, Lao Ma slowly looked away from the phone screen, looking at Lan Dailin with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"It's black? Can you get it back?"
"I hacked this mailbox, I didn't register it myself, I have tried all the methods just now, but I can't get it back at all! It seems that the person who hacked my mailbox should be a top hacker!" Lao Ma A gleam flashed in his eyes, "My hands are itching! No matter who you are, I will find you out!"
Lan Dailin looked at the old horse in surprise, she couldn't believe that there were still things that the old horse couldn't handle.
At this moment, the screen that had just gone dark suddenly lit up, and a new email reminder appeared in the status bar.
The old horse opened it casually, the content of the mailbox was very short, only one sentence.
"Don't waste your time on me, I have no malice!"
"Who are you?" Ma quickly replied an email.
"If you like, you can continue to call me Shadow! Ma, I will continue to finish what you haven't done!"
Seeing the contents of the email, Lan Dailin looked nervously at the old horse and said, "Dad, ask him if he did the letter of appointment! How did he do it?"
"That's right, I did it! It's hard for you, but easy for me!"
When Lao Ma sent an email to ask the other party's real identity, he found that the other party did not reply at all.
The old horse's brows were tightly wrinkled, and Lan was helpless with Lin.
She finally confirmed that her father Ma Weizhong was the shadow, and now a new shadow appeared, and this new shadow was even more mysterious than the old horse, and there was no clue about his true identity at all.
Who is this new shadow?
(End of this chapter)
Losing her job at Rainbow Group meant to Lan and Lin that she had lost her source of income.
Although she had a small amount of savings in the past two or three years, after subsidizing the reconstruction of the Dongshan Orphanage, her savings were not much left.
Xiao Yu has already started to go to school, and she is studying in an aristocratic school, and the annual tuition fee is not a small sum of money.
As Xiaoyu grows older, Lan Dailin will invest more and more in him. In addition to Xiaoyu's platelet count, Lan Dailin must treat Xiaoyu quickly. She does not want to see Xiaoyu's death. The condition progressed to the dreaded leukemia.
But to achieve all this, there is still a prerequisite, that is money, without money, she can't do anything, and she even has to watch Xiao Yu's disease develop into leukemia, helpless.
So she urgently needs to find a well-paying job now.
With her work experience in Rainbow Group, Lan Dailin believes that it should not be difficult for her to find a job with decent salary and decent salary.
But the facts made her very hurt. For several days in a row, the resumes she submitted were all gone, and there was no news at all.
There was also bad news from the headhunting company, and she suddenly found that finding a job was extremely difficult for her, as if there was an invisible hand manipulating something, making it difficult for her to move forward.
Thinking of what Ling Shao said in the office that day, Lan Dailin almost thought that it was Ling Shao's conspiracy, but soon she found that her thinking seemed to have gone wrong.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lan Dailin, who was frowning tightly, had a headache. She really didn't want to beg Ling Shao if possible, but now she had to go this way.
He took out his mobile phone and found Ling Shao's number. Lan Dailin was about to call, when the doorbell rang.
She turned her head to look in the direction of the door in doubt, a hint of doubt flashed in her heart?
Could it be that Lin Qian forgot to bring her keys when she went out to buy groceries?
The ringing of the doorbell continued, and Lan Dailin's courage to call Ling Shao with great difficulty quickly faded away because of the sudden ringing of the doorbell.
Opening the door of the apartment, Lan Dailin unexpectedly found that the person standing outside the door was not Lin Qian, but a young courier.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Does Miss Lan Dailin live here?" The young courier looked Lan Dailin up and down and asked.
"That's me, what's the matter with you?"
"Here is your courier, please sign for it!" The young courier escaped from his bag with a paper bag containing the courier, and took out a signature pen from his pocket and handed it to Lan Dailin.
"My courier? Did you make a mistake?" Lan Dailin looked at the courier in front of her in doubt and asked, she didn't remember what courier she had!
"It shouldn't be wrong! Look at the name and address here, is it right?" the courier asked, pointing to the courier slip.
Lan waited for Lin to check it carefully, and found that the address and name above were not wrong at all, but what made her puzzled was that the sender column was blank. Who on earth sent it?
"Please sign for it quickly, I still have a lot of orders to deliver!" The young courier said impatiently.
"Oh well!"
Lan Dailin took the signature pen handed over by the courier and signed her name on the courier slip, took the courier paper bag and turned back to the living room.
Ripping apart the courier paper bag casually, a bright red book appeared in front of Lan Dailin, with two large gilded characters "Letter of Employment" printed on the cover of the book.
letter of appointment?Where's the letter of appointment?
Lan waited for Lin to open the letter of appointment in doubt, and the content inside immediately jumped into her eyes.
"letter of appointment
According to the decision of the board of directors of the group, Zidun hired Ms. Lan Dailin as the assistant to the president of Ling Group for a term of three years. "
The official seal of the Ling Group is impressively stamped at the bottom corner.
Ling Group?Ling Shao?
Lan waited for Lin to look at the letter of appointment in her hand in astonishment, and Ling Shao's face with a lazy smile appeared in front of her eyes, and her face was immediately filled with hesitation, wondering whether she should accept this offer or not.
At this moment, her mobile phone on the coffee table rang. Lan Dailin thought it was Ling Shao, but when she picked it up, it turned out to be an email from a shadow.
"This is an opportunity, take advantage of it!"
An extremely short sentence, seeing this sentence, the face of the old horse suddenly appeared in front of Lan Dailin.
She originally thought that Ling Shao had won this job opportunity for her, but after seeing the email from Ying Ying, she realized that this matter had nothing to do with Ling Shao.
Originally, Lan Dailin had roughly guessed that the real identity of the shadow was Lao Ma, and this letter of appointment made her more sure of the identity of Lao Ma Ying.
As the assistant and secretary of the chairman of the Ling Group, it is not difficult for Lao Ma to get her a position in the Ling Group.
And as her father, it is reasonable for Lao Ma to help her.
What she couldn't figure out was why the shadow said this was an opportunity for her?
Is there some other meaning hidden in his words?
Lan Dailin was a little puzzled, but she still decided to accept the offer.
She is in urgent need of a job now. The position of assistant to the president of Ling Group is not low. At certain times and occasions, she can even perform the duties of the president on behalf of Ling Shao. More importantly, the salary of this job is also very generous. , but she has to face Ling Shao all day, and she has a headache when she thinks about it.
When she appeared in the Ling Group CEO's office the next day, she clearly saw a trace of surprise flash across Ling Shao's face.
"Why are you here? Figured it out?"
"I'm here to work!" Lan Dailin smiled at Ling Shao, and Ling Shao's reaction further proved her guess that he didn't know about the letter of appointment.
"Okay, I'll ask the Human Resources Department to arrange for you now! What position do you want?" Ling Shao was in a good mood, looking at Lan Dailin with smiles in his eyes.
"I want your place, can I?" Lan Dailin looked at him and laughed.
"This joke is not funny at all!" Ling Shao curled his lips, and gently took Lan Dailin's hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to the personnel department!"
"I've already been there!" Lan Dailin gently broke free from Ling Shao's warm palm, and smiled at him, "Boss Ling, let's get to know each other again! I'm your new assistant, my name is Lan Dailin, please Give me a lot of advice!"
"..."
Ling Shao looked at Lan Dailin with doubts in his eyes, as if he was confirming whether Lan Dailin was joking.
"I almost forgot, this is my letter of appointment!" Lan Dailin smiled and took out the letter of appointment from Shadow Express from her bag, and handed it to Ling Shao with both hands.
Seeing Ling Shao accepting the letter of appointment in doubt, opening it and carefully checking the content of the letter of appointment, and seeing the surprised expression on his face, Lan treated Lin very happily.
"I didn't expect you to have such great energy!" Ling Shao raised his head and his eyes sparkled.
"Can I start working now?" Lan Dailin didn't pay attention to Ling Shao's implication, but asked directly.
"Don't worry! I've granted you a day off, and now I'm going out!"
"Rest? Today is my first day at work, so why don't you give me a day off? I really don't know if meeting a boss like you is a good thing or a bad thing!" Lan Dailin looked at Ling Shao and shook her head slightly.
"It's up to you!" Ling Shao glanced at Lan Dailin with complicated eyes, and strode out.
Lan waited for Lin but did not leave according to Ling Shao's order, but started her work.
In fact, she can go back to rest, but as a self-disciplined strong woman, she does not allow herself to leave.
Ling Shao's office is very tidy, and it can be seen that Mo Ru takes care of it very carefully.
It's just that the stack of documents on the desktop is a bit messy at this moment. It is obvious that Ling Shao has just flipped through it just now. Lan waited for Lin to walk over with a calm expression, and carefully sorted out the documents on the desktop.
Seeing that the scattered documents became tidy in her hands, Lan Dailin felt a little satisfaction in her heart.
Just as she was sorting out the documents and preparing to go to the sofa to rest for a while, a photo frame on the desktop suddenly caught her attention.
There was a color photo in the photo frame, Zhao Zixuan was holding the baby in her arms, and she was standing beside Ling Shao, who was full of happiness in her brows and eyes, with a sweet face. The appearance of this photo made Lan Dailin slightly stunned.
If she remembers correctly, this photo should have been taken four years ago.
At that time, she and Ling Shao were still very affectionate, and their daughter Baobao was also very well-behaved and sensible. The life of the family was full of laughter.
It was a period of happiness that she will never forget.
It's just that what happened later hit her too hard, especially the death of her daughter's baby, which made her almost completely collapsed. If it wasn't for the fact that she was still pregnant with Xiaoyu, she would have jumped into it without Zhao Yun's push. In the cold river water, he ended his life.
When she saw the indelible smile on the baby's face in the photo, Lan Dailin slowly stretched out her hand and gently stroked the baby's face in the photo, with tears flashing from the corner of her eyes.
Baby, my daughter!
Suddenly the door of the office was pushed open, and Mo Ru's unexpected voice rang in her ears, "Miss Lan, why are you here? Where's President Ling?"
Lan waited for Lin to turn away, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned her head and smiled at Mo Ru, "Boss Ling has something to do! I'm helping him sort out the files!"
"I'm Boss Ling's secretary and assistant. I should be the one to do this kind of thing! Go and rest on the sofa for a while!" Mo Ru didn't feel grateful for Lan's treatment of Lin, but rather displeased.
"This is my job too!" Lan Dailin said while looking at Mo Ru with a smile.
"What did you say?" Mo Ru almost thought she had misheard, and frowned at Lan Dailin, her eyes full of doubts.
"I said this is also my job content! From today onwards, I will be President Ling's assistant. Miss Mo Ru, please take care of me in the future!" Lan Dailin showed a professional smile, and turned to Mo Ru, who was full of disbelief. Stretched out a slender palm.
"Miss Lan, are you kidding me? Why didn't Mr. Ling tell me?" Mo Ru ignored Lan's outstretched palm and looked at her in surprise.
Mo Ru didn't believe Lan's treatment of Lin at all. At this moment, she even thought that Lan's treatment of Lin was deliberately provoking her.
"This is the decision of the board of directors. Boss Ling just found out! He probably hasn't had time to tell you!" Lan Dailin looked at Mo Ru with a smile and said.
"Really?" There was suspicion in Mo Ru's eyes.
She thinks that Lan Dailin came to Ling Shao on purpose to ask to be Ling Shao's assistant, in order to get close to Ling Shao and get her away from Ling Shao's side.
"I think the HR department will notify you soon!" Lan Dailin smiled, walked slowly to the sofa and sat down.
"I'll go to the personnel department to verify this matter later." Mo Ru nodded, his eyes filled with worry.
She clearly realized what it meant to her that Lan treated Lin as Ling Shao's assistant.
This means that the little hope she finally saw will be completely wiped out because Lan waits for Lin to hang around in front of Ling Shao all day long.
She knew that she couldn't match the weight that Lan treated Lin in Ling Shao's heart. Originally, Lan treated Lin in Tianhong. As Ling Shao's assistant and secretary, she had a lot of opportunities to get in close contact with Ling Shao every day.
But now this opportunity has been infinitely equal to zero. It would be really strange if she was not depressed.
Lan Dailin obviously knew what Mo Ru was thinking, but she didn't point it out.
From the first time she met Mo Ru at the charity reception, Lan Dailin knew that Mo Ru liked Ling Shao, the kind of liking from the bottom of her heart.
If she could, she would not be willing to stand between them and be Ling Shao's assistant.
It should be said that Ling Shao was once very important to her, but now it has already become a thing of the past.
But now she must have a job, a job with a good salary and a stable salary. She can't just watch Xiao Yu's condition develop to the point of being out of control.
"Mo Ru, go get busy first! I'm fine here!" Lan Dailin didn't want to face Mo Ru, she could feel the hostility in Mo Ru's eyes looking at her.
It should be that Li Yuehua had told Mo Ru about her visit to Li Yuehua's house that day. As a woman who loves Ling Shao deeply, how could Mo Ru not be angry, how could she not be hostile to Lan Dailin, her rival in love?
Mo Ru nodded, and walked out with heavy steps. Instead of going to the personnel department to check whether Lan Dailin had officially become Ling Shao's assistant, she immediately dialed Ling Shao's phone number.
"Mr. Ling, where are you?" Mo Ru asked as calmly as possible.
"Is something wrong?"
"There is a more important document for you to deal with, can you hurry back?"
"I don't have time right now, let Assistant Lan figure it out!"
Hearing Ling Shao's answer on the phone, Mo Ru's face turned gloomy. Sure enough, it was Ling Shao who made Lan treat Lin as Ling Shao's assistant.
What she is worried about now is, what will she do if Lan Dailin becomes Ling Shao's assistant?
Should she take off the burden of being an assistant and concentrate on being Ling Shao's secretary, or will she be transferred away from Ling Shao's side?
In her opinion, perhaps the second possibility is greater, but she can't do anything about it.
Ling Shao casually hung up the phone in his hand, and urged Aqiang who was in the driver's seat, "How much longer?"
"Boss, here we are!"
Standing at the gate of Ling Yuantu's villa again, Ling Shao felt a little unhappy.
Since he took over the Ling Group, he has only been to Ling Yuantu's manor twice in the past three years. Ling Yuantu took the initiative to ask him to come.
This is the third time he has set foot here, but this time he came to find Ling Yuantu on his own initiative.
Standing at the gate of the villa, looking at the courteous maid who came to open the door for him, Ling Shao looked through the gate of the villa and asked suspiciously, "Where is the old horse?"
Usually at this time, the old horse would appear at the door of the villa immediately, but today he didn't show up and was replaced by a maid, which made Ling Shao feel a little strange.
"The butler was in a car accident when he was out on errands two days ago, and he's still in the hospital now!"
"What about the chairman?"
"The chairman is upstairs!"
Ling Shao nodded and strode upstairs.
The maid stood at the door and watched Ling Shao's figure disappear into the corner of the stairs, without saying a single word from the beginning to the end.
Here she has no right to judge Ling Shao's actions at all.
Slowly pushing open the door of the study, Ling Shao unexpectedly found that Ling Yuantu, who should be sitting in the study or practicing calligraphy at this time, is not in the study.
The study was very quiet, the desk next to the window was very tidy, without a speck of dust, which surprised Ling Shao, Ling Yuantu was not in the study, where did he go at this time?
Could it be that he knew Ling Shao was coming and avoided it on purpose?
Ling Shao slowly closed the calligraphy door, walked slowly to the door of Ling Yuantu's bedroom, knocked on the door lightly, and then slowly opened the door.
Seeing Ling Yuantu who was lying on the bed with a sallow complexion and obviously lost a lot of weight, Ling Shao seemed a little surprised.
This was the first time he saw Ling Yuantu like this, and he didn't understand what happened to make Ling Yuantu, who had always been stubborn and unwilling to lie on the bed for even a second longer, was still lying on the bed at this time.
Suspicious eyes followed Ling Yuantu's closed eyes slowly downward, and soon landed on the back of Ling Yuantu's exposed hands.
There are obviously more than a dozen dense red dots on the back of the hand, distributed very regularly, all above the meridians, Ling Shao's eyes flashed, and he instantly knew why Ling Yuantu was still lying on the bed at this time.
he is sick!
It seems that the illness is not serious, otherwise there would not be so many needle holes left by the infusion on the back of the hand.
Seeing Ling Yuantu, who was obviously a little sick at this time, a gleam of joy flashed in Ling Shao's eyes.
"Are you here to see my joke?" Ling Yuantu, whose eyes were closed at some point, has opened them. Although he is still sick, his gaze is still sharp.
"I'm not in such a good mood!" Ling Shao sneered, with dissatisfaction written in his eyes, "I have something to ask you!"
"That's right, it's me!" Ling Yuantu didn't wait for Ling Shao to ask the question in his heart, and admitted it directly.
"Did you know my purpose early in the morning?"
"What do you think? Otherwise, you would stand here so smoothly?" Ling Yuantu looked at Ling Shao, with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, and suddenly chuckled, "You want to ask me why I did that?"
"That's right! I'm curious, what are you going to do?"
"You have no right to know what I do!" Ling Yuantu replied to Ling Shao forcefully.
Ling Shao's eyes shone brightly, "You should understand, I've always hated you meddling in my affairs!"
"Then you can fire her!" Ling Yuantu looked at Ling Shao with a playful smile in his eyes, "But are you really willing?"
"As expected, you still don't want to let me go! Ling Yuantu, it was like this three years ago, and it's still like this now! You're always so self-righteous!" Ling Shao looked at Ling Yuantu coldly, with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
"You're wrong, I'm doing it for your own good!" Ling Yuantu closed his eyes slowly after finishing speaking, "I'm tired, you can go!"
Ling Shao snorted softly, took a deep look at Ling Yuantu on the bed, turned around and strode away.
"Mr. Ling, are you back? I have sorted out the documents on the desk for you, and you can start working at any time." Lan Dailin, who was resting on the sofa, saw Ling Shao push the door into the office with a displeased face. , slowly stood up from the sofa.
"You don't want to ask where I went just now?" Ling Shao's eyes flickered with an unknown light, and he looked down at Lan Dailin's and asked.
"This is your own business, not within my scope of work!" Lan Dailin replied coldly.
"Oh?" Ling Shao took the time to look at Lan Dailin, with a slight smile on his lips, "You don't want to know, but I have to tell you! I just went to see Ling Yuantu!"
"You went to the chairman's manor?" Lan Dailin looked at Ling Shao in surprise and asked.
"That's right!" Ling Shao nodded with a smile, "It can be seen that the chairman thinks highly of you!"
"I don't understand what you mean by that!" Lan Dailin was secretly surprised, as if Ling Shao meant something else.
"Really? You don't want to ask anything else?" Ling Shao looked at Lan Dailin with a half-smile and asked.
"What do you want me to ask?" Lan waited for Lin to raise her head and look directly into Ling Shao's eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.
"Assistant Lan, you seem to have made a mistake!" Ling Shao's eyes twinkled, and his tone suddenly became low. "I advise you, stay away from Ling Yuantu! He is very dangerous!"
"More dangerous than you?" Lan Dailin looked at Ling Shao with a half-smile and asked.
"I'm dangerous in your eyes?" Ling Shao's lazy eyes flashed with curiosity.
"Of course!" Lan Dailin chuckled and asked casually, "I remember that the chairman has an assistant named Lao Ma, have you seen him?"
"No, the old horse had a car accident and has been in the hospital for the past few days!"
"A car accident? Hospitalized?" A trace of worry flashed across Lan Dailin's eyes.
She never thought that Lao Ma would be in a car accident at all. Lao Ma is her biological father. Although he has not fulfilled his father's responsibilities for a day, the blood connection cannot be severed.
She was suddenly worried, worried about the old horse's injury.
"You care about Lao Ma very much!" Ling Shao's eyes flashed with curiosity, "How do you know him?"
"I went to the manor some time ago, and I had a good impression of him! Why, are you worried?" Lan Dailin looked at Ling Shao with a half-smile and asked, "Are you jealous?"
"Am I that unconfident?" Ling Shao suddenly smiled, turned around and walked behind the desk, "It's getting late, start working!"
For the whole day, Lan and Lin were in a daze.
She was still worried about Lao Ma's injury until she got off work.
Thinking of the day when she took Lin Qian to find Lao Ma, but was blocked by the manor's bodyguards, she suddenly realized that Lao Ma's car accident was an opportunity for her and Lin Qian.
A chance to meet the old horse, thinking of Lin Qian's ecstasy these days, Lan felt a little guilty when she treated Lin, she decided to take Lin Qian to find the old horse, to find her biological father.
Hearing that Lao Ma was in a car accident and was hospitalized, Lin Qian seemed very nervous, and begged Lan Dailin to take her to see Lao Ma, but Lan Dailin didn't know which hospital Lao Ma lived in for the time being, if she asked one by one , I still don’t know when to ask to go!
She suddenly heard that she had Lao Ma's contact information, or the shadow's contact information, since she didn't know, why didn't she ask him directly?
This time Shadow replied quickly, looking at the hospital name and ward number on the phone screen, Lan Dailin seemed a little excited.
With the distraught Lin Qian, Lan Dailin rushed to the hospital and found the ward.
Standing at the door of Lao Ma's ward, Lin Qian suddenly dared not go in.
"Mom, why are you standing still and not going in?" Lan Dailin looked at Lin Qian strangely and asked.
"Dai Lin, I..." Lin Qian's eyes were full of hesitation, "I'm afraid..."
They haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, and the two who were once in love have become strangers. Thinking of her and Lao Ma's daughter Zhao Zixuan, Lin Qian didn't know how to face Lao Ma for a while.
Lan waited for Lin to gently put her hand on Lin Qian's shoulder, and her eyes full of encouragement fell directly into Lin Qian's eyes, "Mom! There is nothing to be afraid of! Didn't you always want to see him and ask him Why didn't you come back to find your mother and daughter back then? This is the best opportunity, don't you want to know the answer?"
"But... but Zixuan died, I don't know how to explain this to him! Will he hate me because of this, will he not want to see me?" Lin Qian looked at Lan and Lin timidly, asked with a worried face.
"I promise you, it won't! Nothing you worry about!"
Because your daughter Zhao Zixuan is standing in front of you alive, not dead yet, how could father hate you?
Lan Dailin didn't say the latter sentence, and didn't plan to say it for the time being.
"Really? Dai Lin, is what you said true? He really won't hate me? Will he not see me?" Lin Qian's face was full of uncertainty.
"Mom, you are so hesitant, the time for visiting the doctor is over! Don't you plan to know the questions that have been hidden in your heart for so many years? If you don't have the courage to open this door today, you won't be here in the future." You will have the courage to come to see him! I haven’t seen him for more than 20 years, don’t you miss him? Isn’t it like asking him why he hasn’t come back to you for so many years?”
"But...but..." Lin Qian was a little excited by what Lan had said to Lin. The questions that had been hidden in her heart for so many years could now be answered. It was really not reconciled to make her retreat now, but she still couldn't afford it. courage.
"It's nothing! Don't worry, I'll go in with you!" Lan Dailin grabbed Lin Qian's arm, pushed open the door of the ward, and pulled her in.
Lao Ma was sitting on the bed at this moment, seeing Lan Dailin who suddenly barged in and Lin Qian beside her, his expression was a bit surprised. '
Especially when he saw Lin Qian's white hair, wrinkled face, and unknown gleams in his eyes, he was very excited.
"Wei, Wei Zhong... is that you? Is it really you?" Lin Qian walked to the hospital bed, looked at the old horse on the bed, and asked excitedly.
"It's me! I'm Wei Zhong, Ma Weizhong!" Ma looked at Lin Qian with excitement in his eyes.
"You're not dead! You're really not dead!" Lin Qian suddenly grabbed Ma Weizhong's hand excitedly, tears streaming down her dimpled cheeks, "I knew you were still alive, I knew you were still alive all these years !"
"Qianqian, my Qianqian!" Lao Ma suddenly hugged Lin Qian, tears rolling down the corners of his eyes.
Seeing the two hugging each other and crying, Lan Dailin's eyes and feet became moist unconsciously.
Since Ma Weizhong received a task from his superiors to fight drugs in Yunnan more than 20 years ago, Lin Qian's heart has been filled with thoughts of Ma Weizhong, and their family has been incomplete for more than 20 years.
Today, more than 20 years later, two people who love each other get together again, the thoughts in their hearts, the pain they have endured over the years.was released.
A family that has been broken for more than 20 years can become complete again. At this time, Lan Dailin really wanted to pounce on Ma Weizhong and Lin Qian and shout, "Mom and Dad!"
But she can't, she really can't!
Her work has not been done yet, and she cannot reveal her true identity so quickly.
Seeing her biological parents right in front of her eyes, but unable to recognize each other at all, no one can bear this kind of pain, but she has to bear it.
She vowed that one day, she would meet them, reveal her identity as Zhao Zixuan, live in the sun without any burden, and live with them.
Tightly pursing her lower lip, Lan Dailin resisted the urge to come forward to recognize each other, turned around slowly and walked out of the ward with great difficulty, and gently closed the door of the ward, the tears in Lan Dailin's eyes couldn't help it The billows rolled down, blurring her eyes and everything about her.
She knew that Lin Qian and Ma Weizhong, the fateful mandarin ducks who hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years, must have endless things to say and parting sorrows. At this time, Lan treated Lin would not disturb them, nor could she bear to disturb them.
Sitting on the chair outside the ward, Lan Dailin couldn't calm down until Lin Qian slowly opened the door of the ward and walked out, and she gradually calmed down from her excitement.
Lin Qian reappeared in front of her eyes. Although her hair was still gray and the wrinkles on her face were still deep, her spirit was incomparably uplifting. She seemed to be many years younger all of a sudden, and her whole body was full of vitality.
"Dai Lin, your godfather wants to see you!" Standing in front of Lan Dai Lin, Lin Qian said kindly to her.
If it wasn't for the word "godfather", Lan Dailin would almost suspect that Lin Qian already knew her identity.
The way Lin Qian looked at her changed obviously. Although the two of them were already close before, Lan and Lin could still feel a little estrangement, but now she was surprised to find that the invisible estrangement was gone.
The way Lin Qian looks at her now is exactly like looking at her own child.
Full of love, kindness, and the face is full of maternal brilliance.
Lan waited for Lin to know that Lin Qian's changes were all because of Lao Ma, because of her father, and she was very curious about what Lao Ma said to Lin Qian, which would make her change so much.
"Silly boy, what are you still doing? Come in! Don't make your godfather wait too long!" Lin Qian looked at Lan Dailin affectionately and urged with a smile.
"Okay! I'm going now! Godmother, you rest here for a while! I'll be back soon!"
Lan waited for Lin to help Lin Qian to sit on the chair she was sitting in just now, tidied up her appearance nervously, then gently pushed open the door of the ward, and walked in full of excitement.
"Uncle Ma!" Looking at the old horse leaning against the bed, Lan waited for Lin to hesitate for a moment, but she still couldn't say the "Dad" that had been held in her heart for more than [-] years.
"Silly boy, do you still call me Uncle Ma?" the old horse gently took Lan Dailin's hand and said slightly reproachfully, his eyes suddenly filled with encouragement.
"Dad!" Encouraged by the old horse, Lan Dailin finally blurted out the title that she had suppressed countless times in her heart. At this moment, she felt a satisfaction that she had never had before.
"Son! I have suffered for you all these years!" The old horse gently held Lan Dailin in his arms, and said with a guilty face, "As a father, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father for a day, and you have suffered So many grievances! I am not a competent father!"
"No! I feel lucky to have you as my father! You have helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would be like now!" Lan Dailin looked up at the old horse gratefully and said.
What Lao Ma said proved that he knew Lan Dailin's true identity early in the morning, which also directly proved that he was the shadow.
"It seems that you already know it!" The old horse smiled and nodded, looking a little relieved.
"I know, I know! From the moment I knew you were my father, I knew it! The shadow is you, you are the shadow! In fact, I should have guessed that only parents would be willing to be the shadow of their children. Protect your children!"
Lan treated Lin a little annoyed.
"I did too little for you, too little! It's all my fault. If I had acted earlier, maybe you would not be what you are now! You don't have to live so hard. It is my father who is useless! He failed to protect me. My daughter, I failed to protect my granddaughter!" When he said this, Lao Ma felt very guilty.
"Dad, stop talking! I don't blame you, I never blamed you!" Lan Dailin looked at the old horse seriously and said, "I should actually thank you, thank you for helping me in my most difficult time! Otherwise, I’m still worrying about work, it’s you who gave me a stable job, and it’s you who kept Xiao Yu’s illness from getting worse!”
"Work? What kind of work?" Ma suddenly looked at Lan Dailin suspiciously and asked.
"You don't know?" Lan Dailin looked at the old horse in surprise, she could clearly feel that the old horse really didn't know about the letter of appointment.
"Know what?" Old Ma's eyes were full of doubts, and he still didn't understand what Lan Dailin was talking about.
"After I was dismissed by Tianhong, I have been worrying about work! I suddenly received a courier yesterday, which contained a letter of appointment, the letter of appointment for the assistant to the president of the Ling Group. Later, I also received your email. You said it was a job offer. Let me take advantage of this opportunity! Don’t you know all this?”
"I've been lying here for the past few days, and I haven't used any electronic devices. It's impossible to send you an email, and it's impossible to get you a letter of appointment for the assistant to the president of Ling's Group!" Ma said seriously.
"Not you? Who could it be?" Lan Dailin looked at the old horse strangely, and suddenly remembered what Ling Shao had said to her when he came back from Ling Yuantu's manor. He seemed to have said that Ling Yuantu valued her very much. Could it be Ling Yuantu?
"Son, what are you thinking?"
"I was wondering if it would be the chairman. It seems that no one can do this except the chairman!"
"Chairman? Impossible!" Lao Ma frowned tightly, "Based on what I know about the chairman, he would never do such a thing!" If it wasn't the chairman, who else would it be? "
And he wouldn't have the energy to do anything right now! "
Lan waited for Lin to believe what Lao Ma said, because after all, Lao Ma had been with Ling Yuantu for a long time, so he should know Ling Yuantu very well.
He said that Ling Yuantu couldn't do this kind of thing, so it must not be Ling Yuantu's doing.
What's more, Mu Yangcheng once said that Ling Yuantu was already in the late stage of lung cancer, and his time was running out. How could he have the energy to take care of such trivial matters as Lan's treatment of Lin?
Besides Ling Yuantu, who else would do this?
She really couldn't figure it out.
"Give me your phone!"
Lan Dailin didn't ask Lao Ma why she wanted her cell phone, and she handed it over without even the slightest hesitation.
Looking at the old horse skillfully playing with the mobile phone in his hand, Lan Dailin couldn't believe that the old horse was an old man who was almost 60 years old.
The old people nowadays are very stubborn and can't accept new things at all. In their view, the use of mobile phones is only to make and receive calls. There is no such thing as an old man like Lao Ma who plays with his mobile phone so slipperily.
But soon Lan felt relieved when she treated Lin. She had already seen how powerful Lao Ma was. He could block mobile phone signals as he wanted, and could tamper with the records in other people's computers. Perhaps the mobile phone in his hand should only be regarded as Pediatrics.
"My mailbox has been hacked!" After a long time, Lao Ma slowly looked away from the phone screen, looking at Lan Dailin with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"It's black? Can you get it back?"
"I hacked this mailbox, I didn't register it myself, I have tried all the methods just now, but I can't get it back at all! It seems that the person who hacked my mailbox should be a top hacker!" Lao Ma A gleam flashed in his eyes, "My hands are itching! No matter who you are, I will find you out!"
Lan Dailin looked at the old horse in surprise, she couldn't believe that there were still things that the old horse couldn't handle.
At this moment, the screen that had just gone dark suddenly lit up, and a new email reminder appeared in the status bar.
The old horse opened it casually, the content of the mailbox was very short, only one sentence.
"Don't waste your time on me, I have no malice!"
"Who are you?" Ma quickly replied an email.
"If you like, you can continue to call me Shadow! Ma, I will continue to finish what you haven't done!"
Seeing the contents of the email, Lan Dailin looked nervously at the old horse and said, "Dad, ask him if he did the letter of appointment! How did he do it?"
"That's right, I did it! It's hard for you, but easy for me!"
When Lao Ma sent an email to ask the other party's real identity, he found that the other party did not reply at all.
The old horse's brows were tightly wrinkled, and Lan was helpless with Lin.
She finally confirmed that her father Ma Weizhong was the shadow, and now a new shadow appeared, and this new shadow was even more mysterious than the old horse, and there was no clue about his true identity at all.
Who is this new shadow?
