Chapter 307 Chen Zishan's Illness

On Hawaii Island, several vehicles prepared in advance were already waiting near the tarmac. As soon as the "BL901 Global Express" landed, Zhang Lexing, Wang Mengyao and others hurriedly boarded the vehicle and headed for the Queen's Hospital.Sitting in the car, Zhang Lexing first called Zhao Haiguang, who was far away in BJ, and told about Chen Zishan's current situation. Because he didn't know the condition yet, he could only simply repeat what he had heard. Try to appear calm, so as not to worry too much over there, but it's hard to say how much effect it will have.

After the phone call, Zhang Lexing returned the phone to Wang Mengyao. Now the situation with Chen Zishan is still unclear, and his mood is also in a mess.Wang Mengyao has been paying attention to her boss's situation, and now she is still in a good mood when she sees Zhang Lexing, so she comforts her: "Boss, don't worry too much, Sister Shan is auspicious, she will be fine."

"I hope so." Zhang Lexing sighed again, leaned back on the seat, closed his eyes slightly, and gently massaged his face with his hands.

Wang Mengyao's cell phone rang suddenly, she opened the cover and pressed it to her ear to answer, the expression on her face suddenly became very surprised.Zhang Lexing's heart tightened involuntarily, and he quickly opened his eyes and sat up. As soon as Wang Mengyao put down the phone, he immediately asked: "Mengyao, how is it? Is there any news from your sister Shan?"

"Boss, no." Wang Mengyao said with a slightly apologetic face, "It's the news from RB."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhang Lexing's tone became low when he heard that it was not from Chen Zishan's side.

"Sega has changed its president, and Izumi Shoichiro has officially resigned. The president of the parent company, CSK Group, Isao Okawa, took the role of president of Sega temporarily," Wang Mengyao introduced.

"Sega? Well, Mengyao, just pay attention."

After casually ordering, Zhang Lexing closed his eyes again, he felt that he was not interested in anything now.It wasn't until today that he deeply felt that no matter how successful he was and how powerful his career was, he couldn't ignore the people around him who were worth cherishing. Find true happiness.

"Shanshan, don't let anything happen to you. I'll be there soon, you must persevere!" Zhang Lexing, with his eyes closed, was thinking wildly in his heart. Queen's Hospital is getting closer...

Several cars finally arrived at the Queen's Hospital. As soon as the car stopped, Zhang Lexing got out of the car in a hurry, and ran into the lobby on the first floor of the hospital accompanied by Wang Mengyao and two other bodyguards.After inquiring about the location of Chen Zishan's ward at the main service desk, Zhang Lexing hurried to the elevator on the first floor of the ward building, but something happened. One elevator seemed to be stuck on the third floor, and the other elevator was still on the ground. Seeing that the elevator would not be able to come for a while, he hurriedly pushed open the door of the stairwell next to him, and ran up the stairs. Two bodyguards followed immediately, and Wang Mengyao glanced at it. Putting on his high heels, he exhaled, gritted his teeth and ran up the stairs...

At the same time, in a single ward on the 6th floor, after listening to Dr. Stanley's introduction, Chen Zishan, who just woke up, was sitting on the hospital bed with a surprised expression on her face, and tears overflowed her eyes involuntarily. The cheeks slowly slid down.

"How is this possible, how is this possible!" Chen Zishan murmured to herself, and fell to Elena who was sitting on the hospital bed, with a helpless expression on her face.

Elena stretched her arms around Chen Zishan, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her like someone who had experienced it: "It's okay, in fact, as long as you get used to it, it's fine, really!"

"Miss Chen, I suggest you take a break during this time, it will be good for your health." Doctor Stanley explained a few words, and left the ward with the file folder.

As soon as he closed the door of the single ward, Dr. Stanley suddenly found a panting Asian-faced man in front of him. He opened his mouth a few times, but couldn't speak a complete sentence because of the violent panting.With a professional smile on his face, Dr. Stanley asked kindly, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhang Lexing took several deep breaths in a row, and finally his breathing became more stable. He glanced at the breastplate of the smiling female doctor in front of him, and asked with a forced smile, "Doctor Stanley, is Susan in this ward? "

Dr. Stanley thought for a while, and the Miss Chen inside seemed to be named Susan in English, so he nodded: "Yes, sir, who are you?"

"I'm Susan's husband. I heard that she fell ill, so I rushed over to visit her." Zhang Lexing explained.

"Oh, then you can go in and visit her now. She has woken up, but it won't take too long." After Dr. Stanley finished speaking, he smiled and nodded to his anxious husband, and turned to leave.

"Doctor Stanley," Zhang Lexing took two quick steps, came to the female doctor, and asked carefully, "How is Susan doing now?"

"Now... the situation is not bad." Dr. Stanley said, still with a professional smile on his face.

At this moment, the hospital broadcast sounded: "Dr. Stanley, a patient has been sent to the emergency room, please come here immediately..."

"Oh, by the way, you may have to prepare yourself mentally." Zhang Lexing wanted to ask again, but Dr. Stanley had already left a word and left in a hurry.

"Psychological preparation?" Zhang Lexing couldn't help becoming nervous again: "Why do you need to prepare? Could it be... a terminal illness?"

Back outside the door of the ward, Zhang Lexing stretched out his hand to push the door, but his body suddenly seemed to have lost all strength, and the outstretched hand slipped down feebly. At this time, Wang Mengyao ran over, panting and flushed, not breathing well. , she leaned on the wall and asked anxiously: "Boss, is Miss Shan?"

Zhang Lexing waved his hand, signaling them not to follow, then took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the single ward, Chen Zishan with a haggard face appeared in front of his eyes, he even noticed Chen Zishan's face There are traces of crying.

Zhang Lexing worked hard to adjust his expression, trying to make the smile on his face look more real, then walked into the ward, and said hello to Chen Zishan: "Shanshan, how are you?"

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Chen Zishan leaned on the hospital bed with a forced smile on her face.

Elena, who was sitting by the side, stood up, whispered a few words beside Chen Zishan, gave her an encouraging smile, nodded to Zhang Lexing, and left the ward with her bag.

Zhang Lexing also nodded, as a greeting, and immediately came to sit beside Chen Zishan on the hospital bed, stretched out his arms to hug her, looked at her haggard face, and said softly: "Shanshan, you have suffered! "

Chen Zishan only felt her nose sour, and her tears flowed down uncontrollably. She threw herself into Zhang Lexing's arms, sobbing softly.Feeling the grievance and sadness of the person in his arms, Zhang Lexing embraced her with one hand, and gently stroked her back with the other hand, trying to calm her down.

"Shanshan, what did the doctor say just now?" After deliberating for a while, Zhang Lexing finally asked the question he wanted to ask, and his heart relaxed.

"Doctor...just now..." Chen Zishan, who gradually calmed down, began to cry again for some reason, and the tears even wet Zhang Lexing's clothes on his chest.

Hearing Chen Zishan's cry, Zhang Lexing seemed to let go of his worries and calmed down. While stroking her back gently, he comforted her: "It's okay, Shanshan, medicine is so advanced now, it won't Can't be cured."

As soon as Zhang Lexing finished speaking, he saw Chen Zishan leave his arms, and then looked at him inexplicably: "Lexing, what did you just say, what can't be cured?"

Thinking that she couldn't accept the reality, Zhang Lexing felt a pain in his heart, reached out to hold Chen Zishan's cold hands, and said solemnly: "Shanshan, no matter what happens, I will always be with you. No matter what the wind and rain, I will help you block, if there is any difficulty, I will help you solve it. Believe me, we will be able to overcome this level."

Chen Zishan's face turned red slightly, and she threw herself into Zhang Lexing's arms again. Although the dampness from her cheeks felt a little uncomfortable, she was unwilling to leave, and her arms were tightly wrapped around Zhang Lexing's body.She buried her head in Zhang Lexing's arms, and murmured: "Lexing, although I don't know why you say this, but I love to hear it. By the way, I have some good news for you."

"Well, yes, what good news." Zhang Lexing put his arms around his woman, feeling the familiar smell on her body, and replied casually.

"Dr. Stanley said just now that I'm pregnant. Well, I cried when I first heard about it, Le Xing, do you think I'm too much..." Chen Zishan snuggled into Zhang Lexing's arms and said softly.

"What? Pregnant!" Zhang Lexing was startled, wondering if he heard it wrong.

Chen Zishan looked up at Zhang Lexing's strange expression, and said puzzledly, "Yes, that's what Dr. Stanley said. What's wrong?"

Zhang Lexing only felt an indescribable joy filling his whole body, it turned out to be pregnant, he felt like being reborn after a catastrophe, a feeling of joy falling from the sky, he even wanted to shout a few times impulsively.He was about to become a father, Zhang Lexing couldn't help laughing, his face was filled with happiness.

Zhang Lexing suddenly remembered something, and asked worriedly: "By the way, I heard that you entered the hospital because you fainted, nothing else?"

"That..." Chen Zishan suddenly became awkward, like a child who has done something wrong, twisted her clothes with her fingers, and said embarrassedly: "I am busy in the morning, so I came out before I had time to eat breakfast. The doctor said it was because Pregnant consumes a lot of energy, and I didn’t eat breakfast, so my blood sugar is a bit low, so..."

"Then why didn't your phone get through in the first place?"

"It was Elena who called on my cell phone, but the battery ran out before she finished speaking, and she didn't know your number, so..."

Hearing Chen Zishan's voice getting smaller and smaller, and seeing her bowing her head and drawing circles, Zhang Lexing couldn't help crying and laughing. He was nervous for a long time, but it turned out that it was a false alarm.But when it comes to being pregnant, Chen Zishan in front of her looks like she doesn't know how to take care of herself. Zhang Lexing feels that it is necessary to remind her: "Okay, okay, it's okay, it's okay. But pay more attention in the future, Shan Shan, you are not alone now, you can't skip breakfast, or I will feel bad."

"I'll pay attention in the future." Chen Zishan pouted and agreed coquettishly.

Zhang Lexing remembered an important matter, so he asked, "Shanshan, did the doctor say it's been a few months?"

"It's been more than a month." Chen Zishan touched her stomach, which was still not obvious, and said curiously, "Le Xing, do you think this is a son or a daughter?"

Zhang Lexing patted Chen Zishan's head, shook his head and said, "I can't see it at all now, but I like both son and daughter. Of course, it would be more perfect if it was twins."

Chen Zishan tapped Zhang Lexing's forehead with her hand, and said coquettishly: "Dragon and phoenix twins, you have a beautiful idea. But it would be great if it was true, so that our children will have companions in the future."

Gently kissing Chen Zishan's face, Zhang Lexing put his arms around her and asked, "Are you hungry? Would you like me to help you buy something to eat?"

"Okay, I want to eat salmon..."

"Okay, I'll help you get it now, my best fried salmon in honey sauce. Shanshan, take a rest first, it will be soon."

While talking, Zhang Lexing helped Chen Zishan to lie down, covered her with a thin quilt, then turned and left, intending to get some salmon and find a kitchen to cook something he is good at.Looking at Zhang Lexing's leaving figure, Chen Zishan's heart was moved, and she felt a feeling called "happiness" filled her body...

A few days later, Chen Zishan and Zhang Lexing, who had fully recovered, returned to Hong Kong together on the "BL901 Global Express". Zhao Haiguang, who was far away in BJ, also heard the good news. Taking advantage of the summer vacation starting next month, I took a few days off in advance and went directly to Hong Kong, planning to take good care of Chen Zishan for a while.Zhang Lexing paid more attention to this. Not only did he spare a lot of time to accompany Chen Zishan, but he also invited professional nurses to take care of her, arranged for a doctor to do regular checkups, and even contacted the hospital where she gave birth in advance.The current Chen Zishan has been promoted to a panda in this family, and it can be said that she is the star of the world.

……

Almost at the same time, RB Tokyo University Hospital, resigned Shoichiro Nezuko came to this place again. Of course, he did not come to see a doctor, but to visit Isao Okawa who was admitted to the hospital again due to illness.At this time, it was only a week since Isao Okawa announced that he would take over as the president of Sega, and the heavy work exhausted him again, so much so that he had to arrange for Xiangshan Tetsu to take over for a while.

"Mr. Okawa, you really need to take a good rest for a while." Looking at Isao Okawa who was getting haggard on the hospital bed, Izuko Shoichiro persuaded.

Isao Okawa, who had just undergone long-term treatment, was still very tired. He waved his hand weakly, and reluctantly said, "I don't want Sega to go down like this. I'm not reconciled!"

"Mr. Okawa, the current Sega is not what it was 11 years ago, and the loss of more than 200 billion yen is not so easy to wipe out." Nezuko Shoichiro looked at the old man who was suffering from illness in front of him, and said with a hint of repentance: "Hey , If I could have worked harder, I wouldn’t have disappointed Mr. Okawa, and I wouldn’t have made you so tired, I’m so sorry!”

Isao Okawa shook his head wearily, he didn't want to say anything anymore, he reluctantly waved his hand to Shoichiro Niriko, who was sitting beside the hospital bed, then closed his eyes, and stopped talking to Shoichiro Niriko.

Seeing that Isao Okawa was very tired, Izumi Shoichiro didn't say much more. He stood up, bowed respectfully, and left the room lightly. The ward fell into calm again, except for the slight air bubbles from the oxygen generator. Apart from the sound of the explosion, there was only the faint sound of Gong Okawa's breathing.

……

On Mulholland Avenue in Los Angeles, USA, LookingGlassStudio, which has become famous for its previous games, is now in a very difficult situation. They have even begun to discuss how to compensate employees for closing the company, if they can still get the money back.Since then, LookingGlassStudio, which has about 50 permanent employees, is still very well-known in the circle, and it has created a new form of games with "The Thief", but it is unexpected that it has come to this point now.

Speaking of the fact that it will be reduced to where it is today, it has a lot to do with the business strategy of LookingGlassStudio. These days, game development companies basically live on royalties, but due to differences in prestige and game quality, the amount of royalties that can be divided Points are different.In the case of LookingGlassStudio, they can actually get a relatively high royalty rate, but they are quite extreme. They often use low royalties to sign development orders, and when they actually develop, they don’t go to the game in pursuit of better game quality. Controlling the use of development funds is obviously tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, so that the accumulation of income beyond the means has become extremely difficult to recover.

Just when the employees of LookingGlassStudio were in despair, packing up their things and preparing to close the door and leave, Eidos, which had had business dealings with them and had been in charge of their game agency business in Europe, made a move and spent millions of dollars to settle the matter. The debt owed by LookingGlassStudio was cleared, and a sum of game development funds was reinjected. As a price, LookingGlassStudio has since become a game development team under Eidos.This is a good thing for both parties to get what they need, and the final result is naturally hit it off. The two parties quickly completed the signing of the agreement. Eidos has strengthened its game development capabilities, and LookingGlassStudio has also obtained a chance to continue to survive. .
