Although it's not impossible to treat him, she first needs to obtain a toxicology report to determine what kind of concoction he has been subjected to, so she can treat him accordingly. While general antidotes are quite useful, they are not very effective against complex poisons other than the ones she herself has created. They can only alleviate the symptoms. Although the Lu family's matter is important, the most pressing issue at hand is dealing with the company's troubles. With a plan in mind, Ji Nian refocused on the task at hand. "What time is the meeting? Bring me the relevant materials and documents." Ji Nian glanced at Zuo Yi. Zuo Yi snapped to attention, his disbelief evident as he asked, "You're going... to take over the family head's meeting?" It wasn't just Zuo Yi who was shocked; anyone else would have been even more astonished. After all, legendary figures like Hua Mulan only took over their father's military duties at the age of fifteen. Ji Nian, however, is just seven years old, good heavens! Holding a meeting is far more complex than being a foot soldier, and who has ever seen a seven-year-old child leading a meeting? Seeing Zuo Yi's shocked paralysis, Ji Nian decided to take matters into her own hands. Ji Tingzhou usually places the necessary documents on the stack to his right. Sure enough, Ji Nian quickly found the meeting-related documents. After flipping through a few pages, she understood the situation. "No wonder it needs urgent handling..." Ji Nian pointed to a specific section and asked, "Is there no detailed report for the specific amount here? It's a bit vague." Zuo Yi's professional instincts kicked in, and he immediately leaned over. "Here it is." He quickly located the corresponding documents and handed them to Ji Nian. Ji Nian took them and began to read. Logically speaking, it's quite extraordinary for a toxicology expert like Ji Nian to also understand corporate management. However... She had been living with Ji Tingzhou for two years. Whenever he was busy, she would sit quietly on the small sofa beside him, watching him work. Occasionally, when Ji Tingzhou was idle, he would explain company matters to Ji Nian. He knew how intelligent she was and that she could understand. Ji Nian did indeed grasp the basics, and through daily exposure, even if she couldn't be perfect, she was capable enough to handle urgent affairs on Ji Tingzhou's behalf. Once she understood the purpose of the meeting, Ji Nian could think from Ji Tingzhou's perspective. After all, she had been raised by him, and their styles were naturally similar. This was perfectly demonstrated in what followed. The Ji family specializes in producing monstrous talents... Originally, they thought Ji Nian's generation would break the trend, but now it seems, she’s another kind of 'monster.' The more he thought, the more astonished he felt. Zuo Yi's gaze on Ji Nian gradually became remarkably intense. After the meeting concluded, Ji Nian's tightly coiled nerves finally relaxed, and she collapsed onto the table. But ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍she couldn't rest yet, as there were still many tasks awaiting her. As she lifted herself up, Zuo Yi kindly handed her a glass of water and a document, looking at her with concern: "Miss, have some water and take a look at this document first?" Ji Nian sipped the water and emotionlessly accepted the document. Finally, she understood why princesses hate going to work. She hates it too. Although competent, Ji Nian wasn't as practiced as Ji Tingzhou, who dealt with these matters daily. Whenever she didn't understand something, she openly asked Zuo Yi, and the two would converse, creating a harmonious atmosphere. When Zhiliao and Wei Yang learned Ji Nian was in the study, they both stopped by at different times. Seeing Ji Nian handling Ji Tingzhou's work at the desk, both of them showed varying degrees of surprise. However, unlike Zuo Yi's shock, they weren't as astonished. After all, Ji Tingzhou often mentored Ji Nian during his spare time, so they knew it wasn't strange for her to understand these matters. The child hadn't even eaten yet, and here she was working in her father's place. Feeling sorry for her, Zhiliao ordered the kitchen to reheat the food and personally brought it up. Standing by, he fed Ji Nian a bite whenever he could. Wei Yang stood guard outside the study, with Da Dan by his side. The two acted as vigilant guardians, protecting the study. After handling the urgent documents, Zuo Yi quickly left with the materials, leaving Ji Nian to fall asleep on the desk. Zhiliao picked her up and carried her out without disturbing the messy desk. Wei Yang, noticing, softly asked, "Asleep?" Zhiliao nodded, handing the child to him: "I'm going to check on the family head. You take Ji Nian back to sleep." Carefully taking her, the child showed no reaction to the change in carriers, continuing to sleep soundly, clearly exhausted. Ji Tingzhou's fever had subsided a bit, but he was still unconscious. After taking his temperature, Zhiliao changed the ice pack and headed to Ji Nian's room. Helping the child change into her pajamas, Zhiliao tucked her in and placed the patched-up chicken cushion, a gift from Ji Tingzhou, beside her. Feeling the familiar cushion, Ji Nian instinctively hugged it tightly, pressing her cheek against it. "Goodnight." Zhiliao gently stroked her hair, turned off the lights, and left the room.
