Thinking of this, Zhao Jing ate the bland, unappetizing food with a blank expression.

At this moment, Chu Lan gave Xu Tianshi a look, signaling him to come out.

Hospital corridor.

"What's wrong?" Xu Tian asked gently.

Chu Lan frowned slightly and began to talk about Lin Wan'er's next move.

She didn't know what methods she used to get Meng Haoran to cooperate with her, and the Meiyi Group's newly developed product was launched today.

Furthermore, at the press conference, Lin Wan'er's team confirmed that the product would be launched with brand-new efficacy, suitable for 90% of female customers.

Because of this, almost all the stores that stock their products in shopping malls now want to terminate their contracts with the Xu Group. If it weren't for Chu Lan holding back with the contract, the products of the Mei Yi Group would probably have already completely taken over.

Even though Chu Lan took corresponding measures, he still couldn't stop most merchants from terminating their contracts. Even with high termination fees, their counters still had to be stocked with Mei Yi Group's new products.

As a result, the profits of the Xu Group's cosmetics division have shrunk significantly, and if no effective measures are taken, it may have to lose money.

Xu Tian nodded with a serious expression. "But what does this have to do with Meng Haoran?"

Chu Lan sighed, "I never expected him to be this kind of person!"

Meng Haoran was able to get into university and start his company because of Chu Lan's financial support, but now he is going against the Xu Group for profit. Faced with all this, Chu Lan feels helpless.

His company's main business is promotion, and now the products sold by the Xu Group to other cities have also been affected.

Xu Tian pondered for a moment, then continued to ask, "What are the effects of the new product from the Mei Yi Group?"

Chu Lan shook her head, "There's no news leaked yet, but the product will be launched tomorrow, so we'll find out soon."

"Then let's wait until their product is launched before making any decisions."

Chu Lan looked at Xu Tian in disbelief, "Won't that be too late? We'll be in a very passive position then."

"Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to winning every battle. Otherwise, you'll be like a headless fly, coming up with random strategies without being able to find the right solution."

Xu Tian provided the answer.

Chu Lan understood this principle, but letting things continue to develop was not in her nature. Perhaps this was the first time in all these years that she had encountered such a powerful opponent.

Although she and Lin Wan'er disliked each other, she always felt that she was no match for Lin Wan'er!

"Okay, stop thinking about it. Is work all you can think about right now, and no longer me?"

Xu Tian feigned dissatisfaction.

Chu Lan patted his shoulder, "Okay, okay, don't be jealous at a time like this. I don't want to think about it anymore, alright?"

Xu Tian smiled and said, "That's more like it."

"But I have another question."

Chu Lan looked at him and said, "Go ahead."

"Zhao Pengfei also attended the gathering yesterday. Has the Zhao Group not made any moves?"

Chu Lan shook her head. "There's no clear indication of a collaboration with Lin Wan'er yet, but her son, Zhao Lei, seems to be secretly in contact with the Mei Yi Group."

Xu Tian smiled knowingly. Since they couldn't get any profit from the Xu Group, they naturally had to change direction. Otherwise, it wouldn't be in the nature of these two, father and son.

With this in mind, Xu Tian already had a plan, but everything would only be known when the product went live tomorrow.

After discussing work matters, the two returned to the ward.

By this time, Zhao Jing had finished her meal. Although there was still a lot left, she had at least eaten it.

"I'll go to the company first. Come find me when you have time."

Chu Lan gave Xu Tian a few words of advice, said goodbye to Zhao Jing, and then left.

Zhao Jing looked at Xu Tian suspiciously, "What did you two talk about outside?"

Xu Tian looked at her irritably, "Stop prying into our privacy, just focus on recovering!"

Zhao Jing pouted, "I'm just concerned about you. Besides, maybe I can help."

"Let's not talk about this yet."

Xu Tian interrupted Zhao Jing, "Shouldn't you tell your family about this?"

Zhao Jing immediately shook her head after hearing this, "If I tell my mom, she'll definitely worry again, and she'll cry her eyes out, which will annoy me."

"As for my dad, he only cares about his son, and I can't be bothered to deal with him."

Xu Tian raised a question, "Although Zhao Pengfei prioritizes profit above all else, he still cares about you as his daughter, after all, you are his biological child."

Zhao Jing snorted coldly, "He cares about his own interests far more than he cares about me. Besides, it's no use telling him; my wounds won't heal on their own."

Seeing her insistence, Xu Tian had no choice but to agree.

As the saying goes, speak of the devil, and he appears; no sooner had Zhao's mother been mentioned than her phone rang.

Zhao Jing made a shushing gesture and answered the phone.

"Jing'er, aren't you home? I was going to bring you some delicious food that I made myself."

Zhao Jing replied with a smile, "Mom, I've been quite busy lately. I'll call you when I'm less busy, okay?"

Zhao's mother added, "You go about your business. I'll stay here for the next few days to change my mood and avoid going back to that house and suffering."

Zhao Jing glanced at Xu Tian and then asked, "Mom, is something wrong at home?"

Zhao's mother felt that it was difficult to explain over the phone, so she said she would wait for her daughter to come home and then hang up.

Zhao Jing put on a bitter and resentful expression, "Oh no, my mom will definitely find out I was in a car accident, what am I going to do?"

Xu Tian said dismissively, "So what if you know? It's good that your aunt is staying here to take care of you, so I'm relieved."

Hearing this, Zhao Jing retorted, "No way! I want you to take care of me! To stay with me!"

"Don't even think about making an excuse to run away!"

As she spoke, Zhao Jing quickly picked up her phone and started checking the latest flight tickets.

Xu Tian looked at her, puzzled. "What are you doing?"

Zhao Jing didn't have time to pay attention to him until everything was settled, then she made a face at Xu Tian.

"Could you come over and do me a favor?"

Xu Tian waved his hand, "Not doing it is definitely not a good thing."

Zhao Jing tried to get up in a hurry, but the movement was too big and aggravated her wound, causing her to cry out in pain.

Xu Tian was terrified when he saw this. "Are you alright? Can you please stop moving around? Do you still want to be discharged from the hospital?!"

Zhao Jing said aggrievedly, "It's all your fault. You won't even help me with a small favor."

"Help, help, help, tell me." Xu Tian had no choice but to go along with her.

Zhao Jing smiled with satisfaction, "Go back and tell my mom that I bought her a plane ticket to go on vacation abroad so she can go on a trip and relax."

Xu Tian was stunned. "You went to such lengths to keep the car accident a secret from me?"

"No, it's not that. First, I don't want my mom to worry, and second, I don't want her to suffer any injustice in that family."

"You heard it just now, my mom must have been upset again. We might as well take this opportunity to let her go out and clear her head."

Xu Tian rolled his eyes at her, "You're quite the filial son!"

"Of course, she's my own mother..."

As she spoke, Zhao Jing playfully winked at Xu Tian, ​​"Of course, since I'll be with you from now on, I'll naturally be your mother-in-law, and you'll have to take good care of her!"
