Chapter 417 There are people thousands of miles away who are also thinking of him.
After a flight of more than ten hours, Yan Zhixu arrived in the United States at 10:00 a.m. local time.
The first thing I did after getting off the plane was to turn it on and let my girlfriend know I was safe.
【I have arrived. 】
“President Yan,” Wei Qing quickly stepped forward and took the suitcase from his hand, “Should we go back to our accommodations first or…”
Yan Zhixu strode towards the exit: "What's the old lady's condition now?"
Wei Qing walked beside him, his expression grave, and said, "After emergency treatment, he has temporarily stabilized."
Yan Zhixu: "Let's go to the hospital first."
At the hospital, he met Zhou Mei and Mr. Zhou, who were waiting outside the ICU.
"Grandpa, Auntie."
Mr. Zhou, who had been dozing, opened his eyes and looked over.
Zhou Mei stood by the wall with her arms crossed. Hearing his voice, joy appeared on her face as she walked over: "Ah Xu, you're back?"
Yan Zhixu: "How is Grandma?"
Zhou Mei frowned and said, "Still under observation."
Yan Zhixu sat down next to Mr. Zhou, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, everything will be alright."
Mr. Zhou nodded, his face showing the weariness that came after the palpitations subsided.
Zhou Mei: "The doctor said...we need to find a heart donor as soon as possible."
Yan Zhixu's brows were furrowed.
Finding a kindred spirit is not so easy.
"Has it been submitted?"
Zhou Mei nodded: "I've signed up, and I even paid extra to jump the queue. I'll contact you as soon as I have any news."
She glanced in the direction Yan Zhixu had come from, and saw no one else besides Wei Qing. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
"Didn't you say you'd bring your girlfriend to meet us before the end of the year? I thought you'd bring her this time, so why are you alone?"
Yan Zhixu: "It was too sudden. I booked my ticket back at the last minute and didn't have time to make arrangements for her."
“Your grandma was saying the other day that in this situation, the first thing she’ll want to see after she wakes up is to see her,” Zhou Mei muttered. “It’s a pity she’s too far away. If she were in America, I would drive there myself to invite her.”
Yan Zhixu said helplessly, "If that's really the case, would we need you to go?"
He can bring the person over directly.
Zhou Mei twitched her lips, and seeing Mr. Zhou close his eyes again, she gave Yan Zhixu a wink.
“Ah Xu, you just got back and must be tired from that long flight. Go back and get some sleep to adjust to the time difference. I'll stay here and come back to relieve you when you're ready. Also, take your grandfather back to rest; he's been keeping watch all night.”
Yan Zhixu understood and whispered to Mr. Zhou, "Grandpa, Grandma is stable now, so there's no need to worry too much. Let's go back and rest."
Mr. Zhou opened his eyes again, looked at the still-closed ICU door with a complicated expression, sighed helplessly, and nodded.
Yan Zhixu helped him to his feet and escorted him away.
After returning to the old house and settling the old gentleman back in his room to rest, he went downstairs, where Wei Qing was still waiting.
"What about her?"
Wei Qing stepped forward and whispered, "The group's shareholders have been putting increasing pressure on her lately, and she has been hiding and hasn't shown up for the past few days."
Yan Zhixu: "What about the group's business?"
Wei Qing: "The people we arranged are taking over, so there has been no delay."
Yan Zhixu: "Contact the shareholders to continue to put pressure on her, and it would be best to force her to sell all her shares to make up for the losses she caused."
Wei Qing: "Yes."
Yan Zhixu: "We have already taken out the mole planted by the Jewish people in the Panda Country branch. They will probably keep a closer eye on us. I will definitely not be able to keep my return a secret this time. Notify all parties to be careful."
"Yes," Wei Qing said with a worried look, "Should we arrange more bodyguards for President Yan?"
Yan Zhixu paused for a moment. In the past, he would definitely not have taken it seriously.
But then he suddenly thought of Liang Liangwei, who was far away on the other side of the ocean.
Half a day ago, when the two hugged each other, he said he would go back as soon as possible and asked her to wait for him, while she told him to take good care of himself.
His safety is no longer just his own concern; there are people thousands of miles away who are also worried about him.
His expression softened, and he nodded, saying, "Make the arrangements. Send as many as you think you need."
Wei Qing was somewhat surprised. He thought that President Yan would only compromise by adding one or two bodyguards at most. Why was he being so cooperative?
Perhaps they sensed some danger?
In any case, now that President Yan has returned to America, his safety is his responsibility, and he must protect President Yan.

Yan Zhixu went back to her room and took a shower. When she came out, she saw unread messages on her phone. She opened them and saw that they were Liang Liangwei's replies.
【Then you should adjust to the time difference first, and contact me again after you wake up~】
He curled his lips into a smile and replied with an OK emoji.
Put down your phone and climb into bed to catch up on sleep.
When he woke up, it was already afternoon dinner time.
I lingered in bed a little longer, then got up, washed, and felt much more refreshed. I changed my clothes and went downstairs.
Butler Noh was arranging dinner when he saw him and said respectfully, "Sir, dinner will be served shortly."
Yan Zhixu nodded slightly, looked around, and did not see Mr. Zhou.
"Where's my grandpa?"
Butler Nuo: "The old gentleman is taking a walk in the backyard and said he'll be coming in soon."
It was snowing outside the window, and it looked cold. Yan Zhixu frowned, picked up the coat hanging on the coat rack, put it on, and prepared to go out and call someone in.
Before I even stepped out the door, someone pushed it open and came in.
“It’s snowing, it’s so cold. You’re still outside. Vito will be worried about you.”
"I would have come in soon even if you hadn't called me."
Lisa helped Mr. Zhou in, and the two talked as they walked.
Upon seeing Yan Zhixu, her eyes lit up, and she smiled, saying, "Vito, you're back? What a coincidence, I just happened to come to see Grandpa."
Yan Zhixu responded faintly, took off her coat, and hung it back on the hanger.
"Grandpa, dinner's ready."
Mr. Zhou: "Okay, Arno, prepare enough for one more person. Lisa is coming too."
The three sat down at the dining table. Lisa sat next to Mr. Zhou, opposite Yan Zhixu. She glanced at him and wanted to smile, but the man avoided her gaze. Even if she smiled, no one would see, so she had to hide it.
Yan Zhixu served Mr. Zhou a bowl of soup: "Aunt Mei said you didn't sleep all night, so drink some soup to replenish your energy."
Mr. Zhou took the soup and drank a sip: "I'm getting old, and my physical strength is indeed not as good as it used to be."
Yan Zhixu: "I'll go to the hospital with you later, but you have to come back to rest tonight. I'll stay there and you can come over tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I'll lock you in the villa."
Mr. Zhou looked at him with a helpless expression and could only accept it.
Lisa looked at the two of them and asked, "Is Grandma alright?"
Yan Zhixu raised her eyes and glanced at her indifferently: "You haven't been to the hospital yet?"
Lisa's eyes darted away as she said, "I... I've been a bit busy these past few days. I know about Grandma's situation, but I haven't had time to visit her yet."
Yan Zhixu: "So busy? As busy as I am, who is across the Pacific Ocean?"
Lisa bit her lower lip, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "You know perfectly well what I've been going through these past few days, and you still say that... Grandpa, look at him!"
Mr. Zhou put down his soup bowl and said, "If you can't make it in person, you can call your mother to ask."
The implication is that she didn't even make a phone call!
Knowing she was in the wrong, Lisa could only obediently admit her mistake under their intense gazes: "I'm sorry... I'll go to the hospital with you later."
