C3 Get the contract by means of strength

"Mom is me." He dialed his mother's number. His mother's warm voice came from the other side of the phone. Si Yu felt as if he had put on a warm sweater. His heart finally had some comfort.

Over there, his mother carefully reminded him, "Little Yu, you have to take care of your body and take care of yourself."

Si Yu replied, "Mom just got off the plane and will be home soon." The mother on the other end of the phone was happy to hear she was going home.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the numbers that didn't come in, a few of them were Xiao Yichen's, he had called them at the beginning, but he did not pick them up, so Xiao Yichen had never called them again. In fact, he really hoped that he would be able to endure for a few more days and fight a few more times. This way, the pain in his heart might be alleviated a bit, but it didn't.

When he returned home, his mother had already placed the dishes on the table. Her mother had calculated the time well and was waiting for him to come back before she ate. Looking at the steaming hot dishes on the table reminded Si Yu of his father. In the past, it was the family that ate together, but now his father was lying inside the hospital, feeling a little sad.

"Mother, Nanny Wu can help you. Why did you do it yourself?" Si Yu chided, thinking about how his mother's health wasn't good and she wasn't seriously ill, yet she was being plagued with small illnesses every day.

"It's alright. These dishes are simply a piece of cake." Du Yufen consoled Si Yu when she saw that the child's face did not look too good, and his face was filled with weariness.

"Mom's the best." Si Yu lightly smiled. He didn't want his mother to worry, he had to get himself in better shape.

His mother's cooking was really delicious. Thinking about how he had spent five or six years studying abroad, his memories of his mother's cooking stopped at middle school. Thinking about it here, he unconsciously surrounded Xiao Yichen.

If it wasn't for that incident from three years ago, he wouldn't have been separated from his parents for another three years. The true culprit was Xu Liwei, who secretly clenched the chopsticks in her hand.

Seeing Zuo Siyu in a daze, Du Yufen asked, "What happened to Xiao Yu?" As sshe spoke, he picked up another pork chop into the bowl.

"It's nothing. Mom's cooking was so delicious. I remembered when I was young."

"You're already married, why are you still acting like a child?" She knew about what happened half a month ago, but since Xiao Yu didn't say anything, she wasn't in a position to ask. Since Xiao Yu didn't want to say it, she naturally wouldn't ask too much either.

"Mom, are you looking down on me?" He intentionally said this coquettishly, not wanting his mother to be worried, and even more so not showing a trace of sadness in front of her.

Seeing that Si Yu did not have any changes, Du Yufen continued with the topic, and did not bring up that matter again.

"Mom, I want to go to the hospital to accompany dad." Thinking about her father had always made Si Yu unable to sleep. The first thing she did when she came back was obviously to accompany her father well.

"Let's go tomorrow then. It's getting late today." Du Yufen replied.

Si Yu explained, "There's a meeting tomorrow. The hospital has a room. I'll sleep with my father for the night." Thinking about her father lying alone in the ice-cold hospital made her feel very uncomfortable.

No matter what, he just wanted to see his father today, and even if it was just accompanying him, he felt that his entire body was filled with power.

"Alright, I'll go with you in a bit." Du Yufen said.

"Alright, then our family of three will sleep together." As Si Yu spoke, he suddenly felt like a child who had to sleep between his parents no matter what.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Si Yu said, "Mom, take father to eat this soup."

"Right." Du Yufen turned to Nanny Wu and said, "Nanny Wu, go and pack the soup."

"No need, I'll come personally." Si Yu scooped up the soup one spoonful at a time and placed it in the thermos. He felt as if he had made this soup for his father. Right now, he was just a child who loved his father and mother.

Looking at his mother's back, and thinking about his father's face, Si Yu felt at ease. Even if the whole world had betrayed him, he still had his father and mother.

After everything was ready, her mother simply packed some clothes, "Xiao Yu, do you want to take a bath?" Du Yufen looked at Si Yu and felt a little tired, the clothes on his body were a little dirty.

Si Yu replied, "Bring your clothes to the hospital to wash." The hospital room was a suite with everything.

"That's fine too." After she finished speaking, Zuo Siyu held Du Yufen's hand and walked out of the house.

By the time the two of them arrived at the hospital, it was already 8: 30 PM. There weren't many people left in the hospital's empty corridor. The hospital gave off a creepy and creepy feeling.

Just as he was about to open the door and enter, he saw Xiao Yichen standing beside his father's bed through the window. Si Yu felt his anger igniting again.

Half a month after he pushed open the door and entered, Xiao Yichen seemed to be in high spirits as he looked again at his haggard appearance. Compared to her, Xiao Yichen was indeed very good, he did not feel any sense of guilt at all.

"Yechen, why are you here?" The one who spoke was Du Yufen, but his voice wasn't as friendly as it was in the past.

In truth, Du Yufen was more satisfied with Xiao Yichen, but her actions this time had truly disappointed her.

Xiao Yichen replied respectfully: "Mom, I came to see dad." Xiao Yichen's expression was sincere, and when he looked at Si Yu, the expression in his eyes clearly became more complicated.

Xiao Yichen stared at Si Yu. In this period of time, Linda had always been reporting to him about Si Yu's whereabouts and condition, and when he heard from Linda that she had slimmed down day by day, her condition was extremely bad. It was only today that he realised that Linda had really described Si Yu's condition well, and looking at how his entire body had slimmed down a lot, his expression was extremely haggard, Xiao Yichen felt extremely guilty.

Si Yu laughed coldly in his heart, Xiao Yichen really knows how to act! Dad? Mom? It's just a trade, is there a need to shout so cordially, Xiao Yichen, you really know how to pretend!

"Si Yu," Xiao Yichen clearly wanted to continue, but when he saw Si Yu's cold expression, he didn't know why, and couldn't continue anymore.

"Mom, I'm going to take a bath." Si Yu immediately took the things and went into the bathroom. She didn't want to see Xiao Yichen's face right now, no matter how handsome and elegant he was, he was just a scum.

Xiao Yichen was very embarrassed, "You Chen, come out for a while, I have something to tell you." Du Yufen broke the awkward silence and said calmly.

The two of them walked to the door and Du Yufen continued as she looked at Xiao Yichen: "Xiao Yu doesn't want her father to know about this."

Xiao Yichen nodded. In front of Du Yufen, she was extremely respectful, and Du Yufen was dignified and elegant. It was probably only this kind of mother that would give birth to a perfect daughter like Si Yu.

"As elders, we shouldn't interfere in the matters between you and Xiao Yu. But did you forget what happened three years ago? How sad Xiao Yu was at that time and how he went to England alone. Don't you think that the current Xiao Yu has changed?" Du Yufen said as she furrowed her brows. Recalling back to the time when Xiao Yu was sad, it made her heart ache too.

"Mom, I will take care of this matter and make it up to Si Yu." Xiao Yichen said sincerely. When he thought about what happened three years ago, the worry in his heart grew even heavier.

Du Yufen shook her head helplessly, "We elders should not ask too much about the matters between you youngsters, but Xiao Yu is my only daughter, I cannot bear to see her sad." After saying that, he walked into the ward.

Si Yu had already taken a bath and was feeding spoonfuls after spoonful of chicken soup to Zuo Maocheng. Even now, Zuo Maocheng was still unconscious.

"I'm going to take a bath." Du Yufen knew that Xiao Yichen had something to say, so she tactfully left the two of them behind.

"Si Yu, you've lost weight." Xiao Yichen said with pain in his heart.

"My death has nothing to do with you. To you, as long as Xu Liwei is well, wouldn't you have a clear day?"

"Does that have to be our conversation?"

"I can't decide that."

Thinking that Si Yu's hatred towards him wouldn't be quelled so easily, Xiao Yichen changed the topic and said, "There's a trade banquet tomorrow."

Si Yu immediately said resolutely, "I have a meeting tomorrow." After all, she couldn't compare to Xiao Yichen, he only knew how to flirt with flowers and grass, and she was the CEO of Baishi who secretly met with her ex-girlfriend.

Xiao Yichen replied, "It was organized by Chairman Hong Ji."

Si Yu paused for a moment, thinking to himself, This Xiao Yichen guy really knows me well. He clearly knows that as long as he gets involved with Hongji, she would definitely go along with it. "When?" Si Yu coldly asked.

"Six o'clock at night." Xiao Yichen replied as his expression became slightly better. This meant that Si Yu was willing to participate in the banquet with him.

"Got it." Si Yu gave a simple "yes", and didn't want to talk more with Xiao Yichen. Her trip there was just for Zuoqi and Hong Ji's cooperation.

Facing Zuo Siyu's cold and detached attitude, Xiao Yichen felt a little bored, and said dejectedly: "Then I'll be going."

After Xiao Yichen left, he felt like he was a deflated balloon. He had to always be on guard against Yun Che and be afraid that Yun Che would hurt him a little more, because Xiao Yichen was simply too lethal to him.

The family of three slept soundly in the same room, sleeping until dawn. Si Yu didn't need the help of medicine to sleep.

Early in the morning, Si Yu packed up and said to Du Yufen: "Mom, I'm going to work now." Thinking about today's meeting with Hung Kai's senior management, he should have gone earlier to prepare for it.

When he returned to the company, Si Yu noticed that Baer had already arrived. Seeing her enter the office, he handed over the inspection report.

Si Yu looked at Baer and said gratefully, "It's been hard on you." Thinking about the last time when Baer was being considerate, he forced his first smile.

After reading the report, Si Yu once again instructed Baer: "The meeting starts at 9: 30. Go and check the venue personally, don't have any flaws." She had always been a person who pursued perfection. For such an important matter, she definitely could not have any imperfection.

Hongji construction workers came to five of the upper echelons, the leader of which was a foreigner. Si Yu had never seen him before, and Si Yu believed that he must have just been transferred over by Hongji.

Si Yu walked to the front of the table and introduced himself, "Hello everyone. I am the temporary head of Zuoqi. I will be presiding over this meeting."

Facing such an occasion, Si Yu wasn't very good at it. However, he had some experience performing at concerts before, so when facing such an occasion, Si Yu handled it with ease.

There was a translator with her. Si Yu thought that the higher ups probably didn't understand Chinese, so she spoke it again in English. After so many years of living abroad, her English was very good. Following that, the projector displayed the corresponding data. After Si Yu's explanation, the corresponding higher-ups all nodded their heads.

At the end of the meeting, it was clear that Hongji was very satisfied with the preparation of Zuoqi. In other words, there should not be any problems with the cooperation this time.

Returning back to his office, he took a long sigh, his tensed mind finally relaxed a little, and the phone suddenly rang, "Director Zuo, Mr. Senk wants to see you." The call was received from the front desk.

"Alright, let Mr. Senk wait among the guests for a moment." Si Yu replied. Mr. Senk was that foreigner, Hong Ji's superior. He wanted to see him, presumably because of the collaboration. Looking at the situation today, Mr. Senk probably had the highest authority among all the higher ups.

"Hi, Mr. Sen." When he walked over, he saw Mr. Senk holding onto a cup of coffee.

"Hi, Miszuo." Seeing Zuo Siyu walking over, Mr. Senk stood up and revealed a gentle smile.

Senk was a classic gentleman, and was very elegant. He reminded Si Yu of those English gentlemen, and Si Yu gracefully sat down, facing Senk face to face.

"Miss Zuo Siyu, you are very beautiful." Who would have thought that Senk used a foreign accent to speak Chinese? Didn't he not know how to speak English?

"I didn't expect Mr. Senk to speak English." Si Yu was shocked for a moment, but quickly recovered. So it turned out that Senk was testing her during the meeting, and now it seemed that she had passed.

"Miss Zuo's English is also very good." Senk praised.

Si Yu politely smiled and replied, "Just call me Si Yu."

"Si Yu, your name is also very nice. Similarly, just call me Senk." Senk said.

"Thank you, Senk. You are an Englishman?" On the way, Si Yu asked. Senk looked like an Englishman, but he was speaking American English.

Senk smiled and replied, "My father is British, my mother is American, I grew up in the United States."

So she was a mixed blood of Great Britain and America. No wonder …

"Si Yu, there's a gathering tonight. I hope you can come." Senk said.

They were having a meal together, but he had already promised Xiao Yichen that he would participate in another banquet.

"Where and when?" Si Yu asked, thinking that he should confirm it first. In any case, he must go to Senk's dinner, and as for Xiao Yichen's meal, he would forget about it.

"Six o'clock, residence number nine." With that, Senk stood up gracefully.
