1228: Chapter 1193: Heroes, Twilight 1228: Chapter 1193: Heroes, Twilight Bai Xiaosheng was calling Xiahou Qi, and while Xiahou Qi’s mobile phone was not turned off, he did not carry it with him either.
Instead, it was left on the desk in his office.
Xiahou Qi himself was in the eting room, listening to a presentation.
At this mont, Xiahou Qi looked extrely unwell.
For soone as patient and restrained as him, his current condition was clearly visible to everyone present!
It was evident how dire the situation was.
Xiahou Qi sat there, his body slightly trembling, his eyes sotis lucid and sotis blurred, giving a sense of tottering.
His physical energy consumption was nearing its limit.
Now, Xiahou Qi’s energy had weakened to a state comparable to the frailness of old age, so much so that even standing up and sitting down required him to hold onto the desk, and he no longer refused help from others.
Ordinary people might think, it’s just a eting, sitting still, no need to run or jump, no need to work, how much physical strength could it possibly consu?
It appears so.
However, a eting, especially a high-level eting involving major decisions, requires a huge investnt of ntal and intellectual energy from the decision-makers.
Once seated, the eting could go on for hours.
Such etings consu more physical energy than physical labor.
Especially for such an elderly person who also suffers from chronic illness.
Moreover, Xiahou Qi had already persisted for three consecutive days.
Morning to afternoon, one eting after another, attending such high-intensity etings.
Others can rest, but he cannot.
Xiahou Qi personally promised Shen Peishen and other Senior Affairs Officers that he would attend every eting, and he was true to his words.
Even though Wang Mubei pleaded bitterly, he still stubbornly insisted!
This elderly man, with a tenacity and determination unfathomable to ordinary people, was overcoming his physical and psychological limits.
Now, like a dimly flickering lamp in the darkness, clearly weak and possibly extinguishing at any mont, he still endured every minute and second.
This perseverance touched every attendee.
Today, Shen Peishen also attended this eting.
He sat there, staring at Xiahou Qi.
Even he, as a competitor, was sowhat convinced!
“You are staking your life for a fight of victory and defeat with , I can afford to lose, but can you?”
Full of admiration, Shen Peishen really wanted to ask.
That was one question, and the other was—
“If I win, I win everything, but if you win…
what’s left for you!
Staking your life, is it really worth it?”
Xiahou Qi’s gaze was too weak to notice the aning in Shen Peishen’s eyes.
The eting was still in progress when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
The person presenting stopped and looked towards the door.
Everyone in the room also looked towards the door.
In this unexpected interruption, Xiahou Qi forcibly gathered his energy, looked towards the door, and issued a hoarse and low voice.
“Co in!”
Poking his head in was Xiahou Qi’s assistant Wang Mubei, who looked at the elder with a sowhat unbearable gaze, yet still gently reported the truth, “Elder Xia, people from the Group headquarters have arrived!”
Wang Mubei’s words silenced the eting room.
The headquarters ntioned by Wang Mubei referred to Zhenbei Group headquarters!
Even the headquarters noticed the big moves on the Greater China Region side and sent people over?
Aside from Xiahou Qi and Shen Peishen, the rest of the people present, be they Senior Affairs Officers or Affairs Officers, whispered among themselves.
“People from the headquarters?
Did they hear sothing happening here and co to inquire?”
“These past days, our Greater China Region has almost turned upside-down, I was just wondering when the headquarters would respond!”
“I wonder what stance the headquarters will take towards these actions…”
Whispers spread.
Xiahou Qi coughed lightly, and the chatter below ceased.
“Then I, will go et them.” Xiahou Qi said weakly, his voice sounding extrely fragile.
As he spoke, he was about to stand up.
“There’s no need, Elder Xia, let us co to you instead.”
Outside, suddenly a firm voice was heard.
Xiahou Qi was startled.
This voice was very familiar!
Then, the doors of the eting room were pushed open, and Wang Mubei was gently pushed aside.
A group of people walked in.
Leading them was a man nearing middle age, who carried himself with an air of importance.
Everyone present was startled.
This person was none other than Fang Beijun, the Senior Affairs Officer who had gone to the headquarters!
“So, it’s Fang!” Xiahou Qi struggled to show a smile, “It’s you who ca, good!
You are also promoted from our Greater China Region, not an outsider, so I won’t get up to welco you.”
Xiahou Qi said thus.
Actually, without soone to help, it was very difficult for him to stand up.
“Elder Xia!
Elder Xia!” Fang Beijun, seeing Xiahou Qi’s condition, was deeply moved and called out twice, taking two quick steps forward before stopping, smiling and saying, “We are all insiders here, you don’t need to stand up when you’re feeling unwell.”
Xiahou Qi returned the smile.
Xiahou Qi did not get up, but Shen Peishen did.
The entire venue, as if following his lead, saw every Senior Affairs Officer and Affairs Officer rise to their feet.
“The big leader has arrived, welco, welco, welco the leaders from the headquarters!” Shen Peishen laughed, subtly elevating Fang Beijun.
Fang Beijun seed to appreciate this elevation, smiling and nodding.
Shen Peishen’s words, seemingly like a command, were imdiately t with incredibly enthusiastic applause from those present, as if welcoming the “leader” from above.
Fang Beijun laughed heartily, pressing his hands down, “Mr.
Shen, you flatter !
Everyone, please don’t be too formal, we are all family!”
