"My knees are skinned. Don't you even feel bad for me?"
Shen Shiyu's soft voice drifted over lightly, tickling Bo Siming's heart.
"What? Am I in the wrong for making you happy? Then don't come next time."
"Of course not! I was just being coquettish with you," she immediately changed her expression and clung to his waist from behind like an octopus. "Considering I did a good job yesterday, can I make a request?"
Bo Siming was in a good mood and nodded generously.
"Go ahead."
"I want to visit Dad and Mom. It's been almost a week since I got out of the detention center. I can't help but miss them living alone in the apartment."
Although Shen Shiyu said so, she was actually eyeing the money.
The monthly living expenses were transferred to Shen Yuliang's card. She neither knew where the card was nor its password.
Naturally, she wanted to use the so - called "family affection" to try to get some information.
How could Bo Siming not be aware of her little scheme?
"Okay. I'll have someone send you there later."
Shen Shiyu was overjoyed. Just as she was about to show her gratitude with an action, his phone rang. The words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back naturally. She obediently rested her chin on his shoulder.
"Master Bo, something's wrong!"
Bo Siming's face darkened. "What's going on?"
"Early this morning, the second young master made a big fuss and took people to the hospital to find the dean. He should have discovered what happened that day."
He glanced at the woman behind him, put the phone to his other ear, and turned the volume down a lot. "What does it have to do with me?"
"But..." His subordinate was sweating profusely.
Once this matter was investigated, everyone involved would have to take responsibility.
Bo Siming heard the hesitation in his tone. "Do your job well. Those external remarks have nothing to do with us. Don't pay any attention to them. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
After that, Shen Shiyu curiously picked up the conversation.
"What's wrong?"
He frowned with a sullen face.
"Let go of me."
Instead of obeying, she hugged him tighter. "What's going on~"
"Can't you understand human language?" Bo Siming was on the verge of getting angry.
Shen Shiyu thought her coquetry would cheer him up, but unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect. She quickly withdrew and sat on the bed innocently.
"We'll discuss the matter of visiting Shen Yuliang later."
He dressed slowly with a serious expression.
"Why? You just promised me!" Stubbornness welled up in her. She kicked her legs to show her dissatisfaction.
Bo Siming's angry eyes shot straight at her. Every word was filled with chill. "If you say one more word, I'll send you back where you came from. Don't challenge my bottom line."
Shen Shiyu's hair stood on end. She tightly closed her lips and shrank her neck in fear.
After tidying up his clothes and personal appearance, he quickly left the room.
"He won't let me visit Dad, but he didn't say I can't visit Mom."
She pouted and murmured to herself. "I'm good enough when he needs me, but I'm cast aside after he uses me. God is so unfair to me!"
Tian Danni arrived at Juanyi Clothing Company looking exhausted. Before she even pushed the door open, she saw the employees inside scurrying around like headless chickens.
She pushed the door open and stared blankly. No one came forward to greet her.
"What on earth is going on?"
An employee was grabbed and asked this question. His face was full of panic and helplessness.
"I don't know either, Teacher Tian. Juanyi, Juanyi is probably going to collapse!"
After saying that, he plunged into the crowd and busied himself.
The whole atmosphere in front of her was nothing but chaos.
There was not a single bit of order.
Tian Danni frowned and looked for the office. Accidentally, someone stepped on her little toe. The pain made tears well up in her eyes.
"Sorry, Teacher Tian. I'll apologize to you later," the supervisor said without any sense of guilt while talking on the phone. "Hello, General Manager He. I can assure you that there will be no problem with our project! You... Hello? Hello?"
"My goodness. It's like the end of the world." She endured the pain and complained. Leaning on the wall, she limped into the office.
There were only two people inside, Li Rui and Li Xiaoru.
Hearing the noise, Li Xiaoru greeted her with a forced smile.
"We're really sorry, Teacher Tian."
"It's okay. What's... going on with the company?"
Tian Danni's eyes darted back and forth between the two of them.
Li Rui, covering his forehead, suddenly burst into tears, regretting his actions.
"It's all over, completely over... That damned Shen family. They should have just stayed quietly after getting out of the police station. Why did they have to ruin me? I really regret it to the core!"
"Father, maybe this has nothing to do with them."
Li Xiaoru stood by his side to comfort him.
"Teacher Tian, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me!" Li Rui got up from the office chair with a bitter look on his face. He walked straight over and grabbed her hand. "If it weren't for the support of the Su family and the Bo family, I really don't know what to do now! I'm really having a hard time!"
Tian Danni awkwardly pulled her hand back.
She forced an embarrassed smile that was barely passable. "What do you mean? I'm a bit confused."
Li Xiaoru explained with a worried face, "Father signed a contract with the Shen family last year for the newly - built Hailongyuan Community in the new district. It was almost completed, but... there was a construction accident."
"What does that have to do with you?"
Li Rui's eyes were bloodshot. "Yeah! What does it have to do with me! The families of the deceased insisted that I come forward and compensate them. I'm just a small company. How could I possibly pay 50 million!"
"50 million? Why so much?" Tian Danni was surprised.
"The Shen family shifted the responsibility to us, saying that the foundation of the building was not stable, which led to the collapse of several buildings and the death of many people."
Li Xiaoru buried her face in her hands and sobbed.
"I can't bring myself to talk to the Su family," Li Rui wiped his face. His emotions gradually calmed down. "Could you please talk to them, Teacher Tian? Can you waive the endorsement fees and the clothing production fees? Our company is in such a miserable state. We really can't afford it."
Just a minute ago, Tian Danni felt sorry for their plight. But after hearing his words, her face immediately turned cold. After going around in circles, it turned out that he wanted her to be a lobbyist. He really had a good plan, just waiting to reap the benefits.
"General Manager Li, I really sympathize with your situation."
His eyes lit up, thinking the matter was settled.
"But I'm just one of the many artists under Su's Entertainment. To put it bluntly, I'm just an employee. Do you want me to go and face the music by asking my superior for such a thing?"
Li Rui's heart sank. He quickly shook his head to salvage the situation. "No no no! How could that be! Teacher Tian, you've misunderstood me. It's not that serious. Your relationship with General Manager Su is extraordinary. How could such a small thing..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Tian Danni interrupted him with a cold laugh.
"Extraordinary relationship? Where did you see that?" Just thinking about this made her heart ache. Her emotions that had just calmed down were stirred up again.
