CHAPTER 576: 331 IF YOU WANT TO SAVE SOMEONE, CALL HER! _3

Jiang He had been upset lately because of his wife’s situation, but he still forced himself to concentrate on work.

He smiled and said, "Xuanxuan, what you’re holding is the quarterly performance of the five companies under Brother’s management. It’s much better than last quarter, but this isn’t Brother’s merit. Recently, because of the matter with you and Yeye, the group’s stock prices have risen, and it’s normal for the performance of the companies to increase..."

As he spoke, he didn’t notice that Jiang Shan’s expression was becoming increasingly embarrassed.

Theoretically, if the group’s stock rose, the performance of the companies should have risen too, but the performance of the companies under his management... was still very average...

Indeed, he was puzzled, as he had hired quite a few talents and had thought of numerous ways to enhance performance, but although sales had increased, the overall revenues and expenses combined showed no growth.

It was only after finishing speaking that Jiang He noticed his younger brother’s expression, his corner of the eyes twitched, he reassured, "Second brother, don’t feel pressured. It’s quite good for the company to develop steadily... Xuanxuan, you agree, right?"

He wanted Jiang Xuan to join in comforting the second brother, but Jiang Xuan, supporting his chin with one hand, gazed solemnly at Jiang Shan, offering no comfort but also no difficulties.

However, his silence was enough to make Jiang Shan’s back sweat.

He let out a sigh, "Fourth brother, don’t worry, Second Brother knows he has dragged the group down. Give me one more year, and if the performance is still unsatisfactory, Second Brother will leave on his own!"

Jiang Xuan set down the documents slowly, "That’s not what I meant, Second Brother, be at ease."

Jiang Shan knew his youngest brother was tolerant, but he truly felt unworthy.

Jiang He, seeing his embarrassment, thought to change the subject to lighten the mood, "There’s a saying that one who thrives in love fails at work. I think Second Brother is just too enamored with his wife, and that’s what has affected the company’s performance."

Jiang Shan chuckled bitterly, "Big brother, don’t tease me. Among us brothers, who can pamper someone as Fourth Brother can?"

Jiang He, seeing him relax a bit, also smiled, "Not necessarily. I’ve heard from Manyi that you splurged on a limited edition bag for your sister-in-law. Let’s not even talk about how much that bag cost; just these things women love, if it were me or Fourth Brother, we wouldn’t understand. Manyi said that bag is a global limited edition that all the ladies in Capital City want. You managed to give such a perfect gift and still say you don’t pamper her?"

Jiang Shan took it as him just speaking casually to comfort him, "When did I ever give her a bag? I don’t understand these things, and those lipstick shades, they all look the same to me. Whether she has one more or one less bag, I can’t even tell."

"Ah?" Jiang He was startled, what the second brother said was completely different from what his wife had said. He thought for a moment, guessing that his second brother’s wife might have bought it from her own secret funds, as his wife was quite simple-minded and believed whatever the second sister-in-law said.

But he didn’t want to add to his brother’s distress, so he changed his words, "Then probably my wife heard wrong."

Jiang Xuan observed the two, an inscrutable gleam in his eyes that no one could understand. After a moment, the man hummed softly, his lips curving imperceptibly.

Jiang He glanced at the time, "Second brother, it’s about time, shall we leave first? Fourth brother has business matters to deal with here."

Though it was for the fourth brother’s sake, it was actually because he was worried about his own wife and wanted to go back to check on her.

His wife was now over six months pregnant. Although her belly had grown slowly, as the daughter of the Xia Family had said, they still couldn’t let their guard down.

Jiang Xuan was about to get up to see them out when his phone suddenly vibrated on the table.

The caller ID showed it was Jiang Jiujue.

"Why is dad suddenly calling you?"

"Is it that he’s not feeling well?"

Jiang Xuan seemed to sense something, and immediately answered the call. Then he heard an explosive voice from the other end of the phone, "It’s not good! Your eldest daughter-in-law, she’s really in trouble! The hospital’s ambulance just arrived! Are your elder brother and second brother with you? Please have them come back soon!"

Jiang Xuan picked up the coat from the back of the chair, facing the puzzled looks from Jiang Shan and Jiang He, he calmly said, "I’ll drive them to the hospital, you call Xia Ye."

"Ah?" Actually, Jiang Jiujue had called him to notify Xia Ye. He hadn’t expected his eldest daughter-in-law, who was fine yesterday, would actually show signs of premature labor today, exactly as Xia Ye had said the other day.

But he couldn’t swallow his pride, "How can I call her? You know I am..."

Jiang Xuan had no time for lengthy conversations, "If you want to save her, just call her."
