Hua Xiaomo held onto his hand that rested outside the quilt and gently pressed it twice. "Zi Yunsui, can you hear me talking? It’s Hua Xiaomo. I know you can hear me. You don’t need to worry about the company. Although the company faced some issues recently, I’ve resolved them.

"Our company will be better in the future. Do you believe in my abilities? Before you wake up, I’ll make sure the company is running even better, and our revenue will see another breakthrough."

Hua Xiaomo smiled as she looked at his face, still so handsome. His long hair draped over his eyelids. It had been a week, and he still hadn’t woken up. She didn’t know how much longer she would have to wait, but she truly hoped he would wake up soon.

"Zi Yunsui, if you can hear me talking, you have to hang in there. Ye Xiangxue and I are both cheering for you. You have to wake up. We are all your friends; how can you not wake up? And there’s Candy; Candy also doesn’t want to see you like this. You must wake up, you know?

"No matter how hard it gets, I won’t give up on you. Xiao Mo is always here waiting for you. Fight on!"

As Hua Xiaomo spoke these words, her eyes inadvertently moistened. Only then did she stand up. She sighed as she looked at the person on the bed and slowly left the hospital room.

Just as she left, she happened to run into Ye Xiangxue.

Ye Xiangxue’s eyes brightened upon seeing Hua Xiaomo. "Xiao Mo, why are you here? Did you just visit Zi Yunsui? He’s doing much better, you know? The doctor even said he feels much better than before."

"Yes, Ye Xiangxue," Hua Xiaomo said, looking at her with gratitude. "You’ve really been through a lot these days. It’s just that we don’t know how long it will be before he wakes up, so I’ll have to continue troubling you." She was truly thankful. In these past days, she really hadn’t had any time to visit Zi Yunsui and could only rely on Ye Xiangxue to take care of him.

Ye Xiangxue shook her head with a smile. "It’s not hard at all. What’s so hard about it? I enjoy taking care of people. Besides, he’s such a handsome guy, why wouldn’t I want to take care of him!"

Ye Xiangxue spoke jokingly, then looked at Hua Xiaomo; the faint weariness in Hua Xiaomo’s eyes stirred a touch of heartache within her. "Xiao Mo, haven’t you been sleeping well recently? You look terrible. Also, how are the company’s issues being handled?" Ye Xiangxue asked with concern. She had naturally heard about the company’s situation, which was indeed very precarious.

With a gentle expression, Hua Xiaomo looked at her and said, "There are no more issues with the company now; the crisis is over. The next step is to gradually get everything back on track."

"Really? That’s fantastic, Xiao Mo! Oh my, that’s such a relief! I was truly worried the company might face a severe crisis. I didn’t expect you to resolve it so swiftly. Xiao Mo, you’re so capable! I truly admire you!" Ye Xiangxue exclaimed, her admiration clearly overflowing in her voice. Moreover, she felt an indescribable sense of awe. Hua Xiaomo was indeed a very capable woman. Deep down, Ye Xiangxue wished she could be as competent and beautiful as her.

Watching Ye Xiangxue’s excitement, Hua Xiaomo inwardly smiled wryly. If Ye Xiangxue knew what methods I had used to resolve the company’s crisis, would she still admire me like this? After all, a woman is still a woman. In dealing with many crises, they might lack certain methods. However, it cannot be denied that women also have their unique approaches to handling crises. Isn’t that a form of success too? Yes, regardless of what it took, I ultimately managed to steer the company through its crisis. Wasn’t that an achievement in itself?

Indeed, deep within Hua Xiaomo’s heart, a subtle change was occurring. The arrogance and staunch independence she once possessed were gradually receding. She finally understood that money couldn’t solve everything. In this materialistic society, money can be like a giant egg suddenly striking you, but it can also be like an air balloon, instantly flying away from your grasp. Thus, wealth is truly unpredictable. It stays in your hands only when it wishes. When it decides to leave, your desire to hold onto it only pierces your heart with more pain. The more you want to possess it, the more you realize you must sacrifice other things to keep that money, to maintain a quality material life, and to better protect those around you. So, money isn’t omnipotent, but without it, one can achieve absolutely nothing. This is especially true with my current status and position. If I were to return to my past life, I probably couldn’t accept it. Therefore, I must hold onto my present position, my identity. I also have to protect the company I built with such difficulty.

"Alright, Ye Xiangxue," Hua Xiaomo said resolutely. "Take good care of Zi Yunsui. If he needs anything, you must tell me. We’ll provide the best conditions and the utmost support to help Zi Yunsui recover quickly. No matter the cost, I want him to wake up soon."

Yes, I have to ensure Zi Yunsui wakes up. I can’t let this man, who cares so much for me, waste his youth lying here. Zi Yunsui deserves a better future. Indeed, I must help him wake up. I must provide him with the best material resources and the finest medicines to treat his illness.

"I know, Hua Xiaomo, don’t worry," Ye Xiangxue said confidently, a determined glint in her eyes. "I will take good care of myself and Zi Yunsui. I’m confident he will wake up soon. He certainly won’t take years to wake up, as the doctors suggested."

"That’s good to hear. I trust you with Zi Yunsui," Hua Xiaomo said, managing a forced smile. "I need to get back to the company to handle some things."

"Don’t overwork yourself, Xiao Mo," Ye Xiangxue said with concern, genuinely feeling for her. "You seem to have been staying up late a lot recently. Look, you have dark circles under your eyes!" Ever since Hua Xiaomo arrived in City B, Ye Xiangxue had only seen her working tirelessly for the company day and night. Zi Yunsui had been the same, putting in immense effort. This made Ye Xiangxue deeply aware of how incredibly tough it must have been for them to build this company together from scratch.

Hua Xiaomo didn’t say much, just nodded vigorously and soon left the hospital.
