He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

Song Zhi returned to her workstation and stared blankly at the resignation form on her desk.

"You're resigning?"

A female colleague saw it and became curious.

Song Zhi looked up and saw that it was her colleague sitting next to her. She had been with the company for a year and was considered a senior employee. Her name was Zhao Xueli.

Song Zhi awkwardly put away the resignation form.

Zhao Xueli asked, puzzled, "Why did you resign?"

Song Zhi hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "The company has a new boss."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xueli waved her hand dismissively: "Oh, just because of that?"

Song Zhi nodded without saying anything.

Zhao Xueli continued, "It's great to have a new boss. The previous boss was very stingy. Our small company has been acquired by a large enterprise, so we have a good future with the support of the company. As long as the boss doesn't lay off employees, I'll keep working here."

Looking at Zhao Xueli's spirited appearance, Song Zhi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhao Xueli continued eagerly, "But I must say, President Pei is really handsome. I heard he took over the company before he even graduated. Sure enough, the path of the rich is different from ours."

Song Zhi asked curiously, "Who told you that?"

"Manager Wang said that this young CEO Pei is handsome and rich, and the girls in our company are very happy."

Song Zhi's lips twitched, but she didn't say anything.

Zhao Xueli continued, "But I feel like I've gotten my hopes up for nothing. We low-level employees have absolutely no chance of getting close to President Pei."

Song Zhi was somewhat surprised: "Can't get in touch?"

"Well, even though we're a small company, we still have over a hundred people. Surely the boss remembers who you are."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi remained silent.

No wonder Pei Jinnian didn't even glance at her during the meeting earlier.

They probably didn't know she worked at this company.

For a moment, Song Zhi hesitated about whether to resign.

To be honest, she was quite satisfied with this job; the benefits and compensation were very good.

Zhao Xueli noticed Song Zhi's hesitation and reassured her, "Just do your job with peace of mind. The company will only have a future if we change bosses. Keep it up!"

After saying that, he returned to his workstation.

Song Zhi spent the entire afternoon lost in thought and no one paid her any attention until it was time to leave work. She only snapped out of her daze when she heard someone clocking out to go home.

As Zhao Xueli passed by her, she called out to her, "You're off work, what are you daydreaming about?"

Song Zhi smiled and said, "No."

As he spoke, he tidied up his desk and prepared to leave work.

By the end of the afternoon, Song Zhi had a good grasp of the company's situation.

The company has two floors in this building: the marketing department, the planning department, and the human resources department, while the management team is upstairs.

Song Zhi works in the planning department, so the chances of her seeing Pei Jinnian are extremely slim.

Sure enough, Song Zhi didn't run into Pei Jinnian for the next few days, and Song Zhi relaxed completely.

Song Zhi shuttles between the hospital and her company every day.

Before Song Zhi could even push open the door to enter the ward after arriving at the company, Zhao Man came out from inside.

She glanced at Song Zhi indifferently, said nothing, and walked straight past her.

As Song Zhi entered the ward, she sensed a low atmosphere and couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, my mom..."

Before he could finish speaking, Song Jinguo roared, "Don't call her 'Mom,' she doesn't deserve it."

Song Zhi was stunned.

The old lady beside her sighed heavily: "Your father divorced her."

Song Zhi was somewhat surprised: "Divorce?"

The old lady nodded: "Yes, we're divorced. We can't get those assets back. They've all been seized by the court."

Song Zhi never expected Zhao Man to be so ruthless. Her father had been so good to her all these years, but what happened in the end?

Thinking of this, she reluctantly chased after him.

Just as Zhao Man was about to enter the elevator, he called out to her.

"Wait a moment."

Zhao Man turned to look at her, her expression indifferent, and asked, "What is it?"

“How could my father’s medical expenses have cost so much over the years, you…”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Man interrupted him, "Show your dad all the payment and asset records, and he signed the agreement, didn't he?"

After saying that, the elevator doors opened, and Zhao Man walked straight in.

Song Zhi wanted to call out to her, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say, and in the end she just called out once.

"mom."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Man glanced at her, but ultimately let the elevator doors slowly close.

Song Zhi took out her phone, found Fu Lu's number in her call log, and dialed it directly.

The phone rang for a while before it was answered: "Hello."

Hearing Fu Lu's voice, Song Zhi suddenly felt a lump in her throat: "Ninth Brother."

"what happened?"

Where are you? I want to see you.

Fu Lu paused for a moment, then said, "Zhizhi, I'm sorry, I'm a bit busy here, so..."

Song Zhi sensed the difficulty in Fu Lu's words and immediately said considerately, "It's okay, I just haven't seen you for several days and I missed you."

During this time, she also felt that Fu Lu was really busy, and sometimes he didn't even have time to make a phone call.

Fu Lu gently reassured him, "I'll come find you when I'm done with my work, okay?"

Song Zhi nodded: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Song Zhi returned to the ward, where Song Jinguo was already leaning against the headboard, clearly waiting for her to come back.

"dad."

Song Zhi stepped forward.

"The doctor said I can be discharged now, Zhizhi, go and arrange my discharge."

"You want to be discharged now?"

Song Jinguo nodded: "Okay, you go and make the arrangements."

Song Zhi was worried that the divorce would affect him, so she didn't dare to upset Song Jin Guo any further. She could only comfort him and say that she would go see a doctor herself.

doctor's office.

Song Jinguo's attending physician said to Song Zhi, "You can be discharged, but you need to come to the hospital every day for rehabilitation."

Song Zhi asked in confusion: "Reconstruction?"

"Yes, your father has been in a coma for so many years, and most of his muscles have atrophied. He needs rehabilitation."

"Is there any possibility that he can stand up again if he rehabilitates properly?"

The doctor shook his head: "It's basically impossible. His leg muscles have almost completely atrophied, but..."

The doctor paused for a moment at this point.

Song Zhi pressed further: "But what?"

"If your father wants to stand up again, he can try an exoskeleton."

Song Zhi asked in confusion: "Exoskeleton?"

The doctor nodded: "Yes, but this is only available overseas. If you need it, you'll have to order it."

"how much is it?"

"It depends on the patient's physical tolerance. The price is not cheap. If your father wants to stand up, you can consider this exoskeleton."

As he spoke, he pulled out a booklet from the side and handed it to Song Zhi; "This booklet contains detailed information, you can take a look at it first."

Song Zhi reached out and took it: "Okay, thank you, doctor."

After leaving the ward, Song Zhi did not open the booklet immediately, but put it away and returned to the ward.

As soon as he entered, Song Jinguo asked if the discharge procedures had been completed, and Song Zhi shook her head.

Song Jinguo's face immediately darkened.

Song Zhi quickly explained, "Dad, don't worry, stay in the hospital for a few days, and I'll process your discharge this weekend."

Now that I'm being discharged, I don't even know where to settle people.

The main problem is that her small apartment is simply too small for her to live in if she were to go home.

Thinking of this, Song Zhi decided to go back and see if it was really as Zhao Man said, and whether it had really been reclaimed by the court.
