"All of you, stop fighting. Qin Ran, I must stay." Gu Lingfeng's calm voice rang out, he glanced at Qin Ran and gestured to her, "I'll handle this for you, go out and work."

Qin Ran nodded and left the office on his high heels.

Seeing that Qin Ran had left, Old Man Gu asked Gu Lingfeng in a dissatisfied tone, "What do you mean by that?"

Gu Lingfeng nonchalantly sat back down in his chair, "It's boring. She's my woman, so of course I'll stay."

"She was an outsider just now, so I can't say much. Now we can tell you clearly in private that due to this scandal, the company's stock has fallen 2 points. If we let this go on, it might get even worse."

Old Man Gu sighed, his aged face full of worry.

Although his youngest son usually looked like he had no desires, if he really met with any problems, his stubbornness would be frightening.

He remembered one time when he was young, he had promised to take Gu Lingfeng out to play, but because of his work, he had temporarily gone to the company. He had been busy from morning until night, and when he returned home, he found that Gu Lingfeng was standing in front of the Gu family estate's entrance, waiting for him for an entire day.

From then on, Old Man Gu never agreed to anything, but due to the increasing competition in the shopping mall, it was possible for him to fly away for a few days at any time, so he didn't rush to give Gu Lingfeng any promises.

Gu Lingfeng had come to the company today in order to investigate the truth of the rumors. He hadn't expected that Gu Lingfeng would be so infatuated with this woman.

"Lingfeng, you can't just look at your own interests right now. You represent the entire company, and if you still want this company to be run by you, then make a press conference as soon as possible and announce that Qin Ran has been expelled from the company. Then clarify that it has nothing to do with her. Old Man Gu said earnestly, hoping that Gu Lingfeng would listen to his advice.

Gu Lingfeng could tell that the meaning behind his words was for the company's sake, but he had completely ignored Qin Ran's feelings.

So he answered very straightforwardly, "Impossible! I'll take care of this outside in the public relations department, and I'll wipe it clean before long. You don't have to worry about that. "

"You!" If being soft doesn't work then they can only be tough. Old Man Gu's face turned red from anger, "That woman will harm you sooner or later. Look at you now, you actually ignored her for a woman's sake even if it was the company. I command you! He had to expel her! Otherwise, the scandal would spread like wildfire. Not only would the stock fall a lot, many other opponents would take the opportunity to suppress them. If there was even the slightest slip up, it would be too late! Hearing father's words of persuasion, do you know how much this company is worth? It's just giving up on a woman! "

"Without the company, I can start anew, but I will never give up on Qin Ran!" He had already hurt her once, so how could he do that kind of thing again? It wasn't like he hadn't done it from scratch. At worst, he would just do it again. Another point was that his father's way of speaking revolved around the company and the money. This kind of attitude made him very unhappy.

Old Man Gu was so angry that he didn't know what to say when he heard Gu Lingfeng's decisive words. He kept repeating 'you, you, you' while pointing at Gu Lingfeng. His hands were shaking violently.

Suddenly, Old Man Gu's situation looked somewhat odd. His eyelids rolled up as he slowly withdrew his trembling hands and pressed them against his chest. He gasped for air in large mouthfuls as he let out an uncomfortable whimper.

Seeing that the situation wasn't good, Gu Lingfeng hurriedly took out his phone and dialed a number. He pressed the hands-free button to wait for the call to connect. Then, he searched the old man's pockets with both hands and found a bottle of Swift Heartbeat Pills.

When the call connected, Gu Lingfeng opened the cap of the bottle and fed the old man the Heart-Sober Pill as he spoke to the person on the other side of the phone, "The old man is sick. Drive over to the Gu Clan, now immediately!" After roaring, he hung up the phone. The old man's reaction was slightly better after feeding the Heart Sending Pill, but he was still in a semi-conscious state.

Soon, the company's own infirmary came up with an empty stretcher and a frail old man. They met with an ambulance that rushed over. Many of the employees had seen this scene, but because of the importance of the matter, they did not dare to make any wild guesses. Perhaps it was because of the matter regarding Qin Ran and Gu Lingfeng that the news had gradually spread out from the secretary's office on the 28th floor.

Qin Ran saw that something was wrong, so she thought for a while before deciding to chase after Gu Lingfeng to see what was going on. Although she wanted to take revenge on Gu Lingfeng, she was not so wicked as to make an old man die from sickness.

Just as she was about to go downstairs to look for Gu Lingfeng, Gu Lingfeng just happened to come back. The two of them met, and Gu Lingfeng told Qin Ran to go to his office.

Entering the office, Gu Lingfeng paced back and forth, a headache coming on as he held his forehead. Qin Ran was a little anxious, "How is your father?"

"He's suffering from high blood pressure. He had a history of heart disease before, so he should be fine after being sent to the hospital. I fed him the Heart Rescue Pill so he shouldn't die." Gu Lingfeng replied.

Although Qin Ran didn't have much feelings for the Gu family, other than this matter, it was still his own fault.

"I'm sorry."

Gu Lingfeng was stunned. It had been a long time since he heard Qin Ran apologize. He didn't even apologize to him about what happened at the bar previously.

"In fact, maybe I'm the one who should apologize." Gu Lingfeng sat back in his boss's chair, his elbows on the table, his hands curled into fists, his forehead resting on it. He revealed a troubled expression as he said, "The rumors about the company are rather big, if an outsider finds out about what happened in the company in the past two days, they would definitely think of it. "Therefore, the current situation seems to be a bit against you."

Qin Ran also had a serious look on his face. He didn't expect that in just two days time, he had become the center of attention. Gu Lingfeng's influence was too great, his number of bewitched girls was no less than a celebrity fan.

"Then why don't I say no?" Before he could finish, he heard Gu Lingfeng's firm reply, "Impossible!" The loud voice startled Qin Ran.

"Since I already said I wanted you to stay here, then I definitely won't let you go. But you really need to stay out of the limelight these two days. I'll arrange a paid vacation for you. With the pressure from the public, it's not good for you to continue staying at the company." Gu Lingfeng showed an apologetic expression, "This is already the best plan I can come up with."

At this time, Qin Ran seemed to have forgotten something. If she insisted on staying, Gu Lingfeng would definitely not reject her. With the pressure from the outside world, it was possible for the Gu family to be severely injured.

But now, she felt that she couldn't stay here and cause any more trouble. She lowered her head and agreed, "Okay."
