Xie Zhen had no concrete evidence, only vague suspicions that Xu Mo was involved.
In his mind, regardless of the situation, Xie Bingyan was Xu Mo’s mother. No matter what, he shouldn’t have taken action against her.
Xie Zhen came over to vent his anger and shout.
Xu Mo watched him lose his temper without taking any action against him.
Xie Zhen was still useful!
For the time being, he was much easier to control than Xie Yun.
Xie Zhen had clear flaws, whereas Xie Yun was a crafty old fox, difficult to manage!
It’s just a pity that Xie Bingyan didn’t die!
Xu Mo had thought she would definitely die this time!
And he wondered whether Xu Junzhe was dead or not!
For now, Xu Mo was too lazy to deal with these matters. Due to his heavy workload, he planned to transfer the position of Pinduoduo’s president and retire behind the scenes.
The short video platform was developing rapidly, and he needed to dedicate more time to handle it. For him, short videos had become even more important.
Currently, Xu Mo was considering appointing Gu Huanxi as the Chief Executive Officer, while he would retain the position of Chairman.
Pinduoduo had already undergone a share reform, with the founder holding significant voting power. So even if someone else took on the CEO role, it wouldn’t affect the company’s normal operations.
Recently, Xu Mo made some requests to the major shareholders, but they were strongly opposed to his departure.
Especially Zhang Yundong, who had contacted him several times and urged him not to step down. With Pinduoduo’s current surge, Xu Mo’s departure would seriously impact consumer confidence and significantly affect the stock price.
But for future arrangements and to cultivate Gu Huanxi, Xu Mo decided to retire behind the scenes!
“From now on, I will focus entirely on developing the short video platform and pushing it to the pinnacle of the world!”
“We’ve been preparing for so long, and now the short video platform is ready to explode, especially abroad, where its growth potential is still very high!”
“Although my focus is shifting, you should still prioritize Pinduoduo. Tang Lei, continue to lead the research and development. We need to invest 100 billion, or even 200 billion, in this area!”
“You’re stepping down a bit too quickly! Are you really that tired?” Tang Lei said. He didn’t want Xu Mo to resign, as he had become accustomed to Xu Mo’s collaboration in handling problems.
With Xu Mo in the company, it was like having a stabilizing force. Once Xu Mo stepped down, Pinduoduo might also decline.
“Everyone, trust Huanxi! Huanxi has the ability to lead the company to new heights! She will do even better and be more outstanding than I am! I also ask all the shareholders to give her more support! Huanxi is one of our four founders, and we have all grown together. We have overcome countless difficulties to reach today!” Xu Mo addressed the group.
Seeing that Xu Mo was determined, Zhang Yundong felt resigned and could only smile, saying, “Xu Mo, if any issues arise with the company, I still expect you to come back and take over! After all, we can’t slow down the momentum of the group’s growth!”
“Of course! I’ll still keep an eye on things!” Xu Mo replied with a smile.
The shareholders were indeed somewhat dissatisfied. Whether it was Tencent or other investors, they didn’t fully trust Gu Huanxi’s abilities.
They believed that as a woman, Gu Huanxi might lack the capability to manage a company worth hundreds of billions, or even several thousand billions.
However, since Xu Mo had said so, they could only promise to give Gu Huanxi a chance and let her try.
If it didn’t work out, they could always find someone else!
“I also think it might be difficult! The company is so large now; it’s hard to manage everything!” Gu Huanxi was not too eager to take on the position, feeling that her burden had increased significantly.
“You can do it!” Xu Mo said calmly, “Take some time to adapt. I’ll give you a year to grow! After a year, you should be able to earn everyone’s recognition!”
“And you?” Gu Huanxi asked, looking at him.
“Me? I can relax a bit! I have other things to attend to!” Xu Mo said as he tidied up the documents on his desk.
When Gu Huanxi heard this, she thought for a moment, looked around, and saw that everyone had already left and the door was closed. She then walked over to Xu Mo.
“Xu Mo, I…”
“Don’t say anything! I understand!”
“Um…” Gu Huanxi was momentarily taken aback, seeming a bit annoyed. She then moved closer and suddenly reached out to hug him tightly.
“Uh…” Xu Mo was a bit bewildered!
Gu Huanxi’s hug was quite tight!
…
Xie Bingyan’s coma didn’t last long.
After receiving treatment, she woke up just two days later.
Due to her serious injuries, she was still receiving intravenous fluids.
When Xu Deming received the news, he was greatly shocked and hurriedly traveled to Xianghai City to find out what had happened.
But Xu Xuehui couldn’t explain the situation clearly.
“There was a car accident! It’s unclear whether it was an accident or something else. The police said that Junzhe was with Mom, but Junzhe suddenly disappeared and can’t be found for now!”
Xu Deming’s expression changed immediately: “Junzhe is missing?”
“Yes! Mom is also seriously injured! But Mom has just woken up. I went to ask her a few questions about what happened, but she didn’t respond!” Xu Xuehui looked worried.
Xu Deming glanced into the hospital room and saw Xie Bingyan lying there, motionless. She was clearly awake, but her eyes were vacant, her face was pale, and she looked lifeless, which was very concerning.
“Has the doctor said anything about her condition?” Xu Deming asked.
“Shuying just called the doctor for a check-up, and Shuying also personally examined her. Mom doesn’t have major issues, and her head wasn’t seriously injured! However, for some reason, she refuses to speak!” Xu Xuehui also glanced inside.
“I’ll go in and take a look!” Xu Deming said, and pushed open the door to walk inside.
He hadn’t expected Xie Bingyan to be in such a state and was unsure who might have acted against her. He definitely didn’t want to see Xie Bingyan in trouble.
He quickly moved forward, calling out to Xie Bingyan several times, but she didn’t respond. Her expression was blank and vacant, staring at a spot in the room, showing no reaction to his presence.
“What’s wrong with her? Why won’t she speak?” Xu Deming turned back to Xu Xuehui and said, “Get Fifth over here for me! Where did she go?”
Xu Xuehui hurriedly replied, “I’ll call her over! Fifth Sister just went out to analyze some reports!”
“Damn it! What exactly happened? Our cars are designed to be collision-resistant; it’s usually very difficult for them to be destroyed in a crash, and even if they are, it’s hard for them to catch fire!” Xu Deming questioned angrily.
Xu Xuehui couldn’t answer and had to go out to find Xu Shuying.
Xu Shuying, who seemed to have finished her analysis and was hurrying back, quickly said upon seeing Xu Deming: “Mom isn’t seriously injured! It’s just that she refuses to speak. The report shows everything is normal!”
“Oh?” Xu Deming glanced at her and then turned back to look at Xie Bingyan.
“Xie Bingyan, what exactly happened? Are you dead or something? Where is Junzhe? Was he with you? Where did he go?”
Xie Bingyan remained like a puppet. Upon hearing Xu Deming’s questions, she slightly turned her head to look at him, but her expression remained vacant, and she still didn’t make a sound.
