Episode 23

Xing Wenhao carefully planned and invited several allies on the board of directors, intending to use their support to win a key vote for Fang Fang.However, when the agreed dinner time came quietly, none of the promised figures showed up, leaving Xing Wenhao and Zhao Kai looking at each other.They quickly adjusted their strategies and encouraged Fang Fang, who was slightly disappointed, to maintain his fighting spirit. They promised to continue lobbying that night, firmly believing that the balance of victory was still tilted towards them.Fang Fang knew that there was still a gap between her own strength and Song Qiao, but for Zhao Kai and to defend her position as executive director, she was determined to persevere and not take a step back.In the dead of night, Fang Fang returned home and silently prayed to her adoptive father's portrait. Her adoptive mother cheered her up with warm words, firmly believing that Zhao Kai's vision and their efforts would eventually bear fruit.

On the other side, the results of Song Qiao's follow-up examination were like a bolt from the blue. The doctor told her that chemotherapy had failed to curb the spread of the tumor, but had worsened it, and that immediate surgery was recommended.Xu Daoming waited anxiously outside the clinic. Faced with Song Qiao's forced smile to cover up, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.In the dead of night, the two of them shared music. Although they were silent, there was unspeakable sadness in their hearts.Xu Daoming is well aware of the ups and downs of the business world and has read countless people, but he never expected that his beloved would suffer such misfortune.

On the day of the election, Ding Ning arrived as scheduled, but received a secret order from Gordon on the eve of the vote, confident that he had a chance to win.Although Song Qiao was restless and had not prepared a speech, he still stood on the podium and confessed his illness to the directors. He said that although he was qualified to be the chairman, he may not be able to hold the position for a long time due to his health limitations.As soon as this statement came out, the board members were moved, and the final vote favored the healthy Fang Fang.

After the election was settled, Zhao Kai, Fang Fang, Xu Daoming and Song Qiao stayed behind.After learning about Song Qiao's condition, Zhao Kai urgently advised him to be hospitalized for treatment immediately, but Gordon's anger was about to explode because of Song Qiao's decision.Xu Daoming stepped forward and took the initiative to submit his resignation. This move caught Gordon off guard and he realized that the importance of Song Qiao and Xu Daoming was irreplaceable.Faced with the decision of surgery, Song Qiao insisted on staying close by so that her relatives could be with her. Unexpectedly, an emergency suddenly broke out and interrupted their discussion.
