Chapter 1568: Plan

Vegas, top floor of Caesars Palace.

In the same room as before, the conversation took place between the same two people.

It's just that the atmosphere is no longer so relaxed and happy.

"Are you sure?" Xu Man tried his best to keep calm.

But her hands were about to scratch the corners of her clothes, and her body was trembling uncontrollably.

Doctor Xu regretted himself and said, "Yes, I should insist."

What he was talking about was the last inspection, because Xu Man was too busy and insisted that there was no problem with his body, so they simply skipped it.

Now, the cancer cells have spread, and it is too late to do anything.

"Can it be cured?" Xu Man clenched her hand even tighter, her eyes flickered, as if she was making some important decision.

"We can try to control the rate of spread with drugs and other treatments, but it can be painful!"

"How long can I last if I do that?" Xu Man's question hit the nail on the head.

Dr. Xu hesitated, he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

"Xu, don't hide it from me, it's not just about my life." Xu Man's tone couldn't help but increase.

Dr. Xu raised his head, apologizing even more deeply, "Three to six months."

"In other words, after going through a series of painful treatments, I can only live for six months at most."

Seeing him nodding, Xu Man's clenched hand suddenly loosened, and his expression became calm.

"I see." Xu Man stopped talking after finishing speaking. Dr. Xu closed his mouth hesitantly, and decided to leave first to tell the headquarters the news.

"Can I ask you something?" Xu Man stopped him again.

Dr. Xu stopped in his tracks and looked at the woman suspiciously. The determination in her eyes made him feel that he should leave here quickly.

Just after Dr. Xu left, Xu Man called Kolya into the room: "Bring Ariel back and ask for leave for her, just say it's something important."

"Someone asked why Dr. Xu came, and he said it was a routine checkup."

Xu Man made it clear enough that Kolya could only draw one conclusion from these words; something big is about to happen.

It's just that things are far more serious than he imagined.

Because the day after he took Ariel back to Vegas, Xu Man called an emergency meeting and brought his daughter to the meeting.

"From today, Ariel will gradually take over my work." Xu Man announced this decision to all committee members at the meeting.

"Mary, what does this mean?" Someone looked at her in surprise and asked.

Xu Man looked at the other party, her eyes suddenly sharp: "That's what I said, she will start to get familiar with my work and gradually take over."

Following Xu Man's words, Kolya stepped forward cooperatively, staring at everyone like a falcon.

He is like a loyal guard, and also like a demon hunter who is always ready and sharpening his knife.

If anyone dares to object, then the next trouble he needs to face is the prying eyes of Kolya, a loyal dog.

It's just that, after years of fierce competition, no one who can still sit safely in the position is afraid of Kolya.

In their eyes, Kolya is just a loyal dog.

But in the end, it's just a dog!

"It's against the rules." Parson Magano's eye sockets had collapsed, but his gaze was still as piercing as a falcon.

Joss of the Kolobo family also disagreed, and in his opinion, this was really ridiculous.

What does she want to do, treat the chairmanship of the committee as an ancient feudal dynasty, father to son, son to son, son to son?

What's more, she's not a boy yet.

"Mary, maybe we should talk in private." Doris, who came to relax and just had time to attend the meeting, smiled a little reluctantly.

Although because of Li Zitao's relationship, they got along very well.

But it doesn't mean that Duke will watch her turn the Development Association into a 'family world'. '

Avril Lavigne also won't let this happen, and her representative also remains silent and doesn't say a word.

But the attitude expressed is undoubtedly in support of the opposition,

Because from the beginning to the end, he didn't look at Xu Man again, or show a smile.

"No, I don't need it." Xu Man indifferently rejected Doris's kindness, her attitude was cold and unfriendly, with a kind of dictatorial air of repelling others thousands of miles away.

"Now, I am the chairman, and I have the right to decide who will be my successor." After Xu Man finished speaking, he did not give anyone a chance to refute: "This concludes today's meeting."

After she finished speaking, she took Ariel and left the meeting room, which made everyone confused and even felt ridiculous.

Did she think she could really dominate everything and become the supreme queen of Vegas?

"In my opinion, Ms. Mary is a little lost." Parson said amusedly.

Joss spread his hands and laughed: "Maybe she's just too tired, we should let her rest and share more tasks!"

"That's a good idea." Someone jokingly agreed.

But in fact, if he really thinks so in his heart, who can know!

Doris's expression was a little ugly. Amidst the ridicule of the crowd, she suddenly pushed the chair away and made a loud noise, then turned and left without saying a word.

But her attitude represented everything, and from now on, cracks appeared in the most stable alliance in the Development Association.

This is a favorable signal for many people, especially those who intend to get involved in the position of chairman and think that Li's influence should be eliminated.

"Mom." Pulled back to the room by her mother, Ariel still didn't understand what happened just now.

Why should there be a conflict with Duke? They should be best friends and staunch allies.

Now, to offend Duke is to offend Mellon.

This does her no good, it can only make the stable situation chaotic.

"I'm sick." Xu Man's words interrupted her complaints, and Ariel became nervous.

Seeing her mother's serious face, Ariel wanted to smile, she wanted to ease the atmosphere and dispel the anxiety in her heart.

"What, you need to be hospitalized, so you can't work?" Ariel forced a smile: "You can say it, there is no need to do it."

"I'm going to die." Xu Man said seriously and calmly: "I have cancer, terminal stage."

"No, what are you talking about?" Ariel's tears burst into tears, and she looked at her mother with a weeping and laughing tone and said, "Why can't I understand what you said."

She looked terrified, and her body was shaking despite her best efforts to control it.

"Hey, baby." Xu Man stepped forward and hugged her into his arms, and said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm still here."

"Tell me, it's not true." Ariel raised her head, tears blurred her vision, and she couldn't see her mother's face clearly.

This made her panic even more, "I'm going to call him, Osborn, yes, Osborn can save you, definitely."

"It's useless." Xu Man shook her head, wiped her tears and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan, I've planned everything."

"I will arrange everything for you. You need to do what I say, Ariel, do you understand?"

"No matter what you think, listen to me quietly now, you must live strong, stronger than anyone else."

"Just like back then, when your grandmother brought me to this strange country and left me as strong as when I was alone."

"You have my blood in your body, and you are equally strong. I believe you can do it, and you will definitely be able to..."

Xu Man hugged her daughter tightly, tears fell slowly, but a nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
