Shen Shiyu was left speechless by Bo Siming's outburst of words.
"I... I..."
"What do you mean by 'I'?" There were bloodshot eyes in his pupils.
"Father is right. I should have gone abroad with him for treatment. That way, I wouldn't have to lie here like a useless person and listen to your nagging!"
She was suddenly stunned. "Go abroad? For treatment?"
Bo Siming looked smug. "What, are you reluctant to let me go? I knew you had feelings for me."
Shen Shiyu couldn't be happier. How could she be reluctant to see him go!
As long as he went abroad, she could be with Zhu Kai all day.
She wouldn't have to make up excuses, visit him from time to time, or listen to his complaints about why his injuries weren't getting better.
But she had to act the part to make it convincing.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance! I'm so sad."
Puckering her lips, Shen Shiyu trotted over and lay on the edge of the bed, sobbing.
Seeing her reaction, Bo Siming finally felt at ease.
His woman should be sad and try to persuade him to stay when he left.
"Father just told me about this. I'm still considering it."
Seeing his hesitation, Shen Shiyu was naturally reluctant.
"You should go!"
His expression suddenly darkened, and his suspicious eyes began to size her up again.
"What I mean is, Uncle must feel the same way as I do. We both hope you can recover soon. If the medical technology abroad is more advanced, we shouldn't waste any more time."
She quickly smoothed things over, speaking passionately and firmly.
Looking at her, Bo Siming put aside his suspicions.
"I'm really happy that you care about me like this."
The more Shen Shiyu acted, the more real it seemed. She took his uninjured hand and placed it on her cheek. "Silly, I'll always be with you."
"Great. Then come with me abroad. There will be people I don't know there. I'll have no one to talk to if I go alone."
Her face froze. "…Ah? I have to go too?"
Bo Siming frowned. "What? Don't you want to?"
He pulled his hand back and sneered. "You're so fickle. Just now you looked so reluctant, but now you've changed your mind. Are you worried about being my nanny and getting tired? Or do you have something to hide!"
Shen Shiyu shook her head excitedly. "How can you think of me like that!"
Her brain was working at full speed. "The company! Yes, the company!"
"Now I'm the deputy general manager of Shen's and in charge of all the company's affairs. If I go with you, who will manage it?"
Bo Siming fell silent after hearing her words.
The two companies had just merged, and the staff was still in a state of flux. If there was no one in charge at this time, the situation would surely become unstable.
The power he had painstakingly built up must not go wrong at this critical moment. Otherwise, not only would it affect him, but he might also not be able to get Wen Jinrui.
"What you said makes sense."
The stone in Shen Shiyu's heart finally dropped.
"Siming, you can trust me! I'll manage the company well. You just need to focus on your treatment abroad. I guarantee that the company will be even bigger when you come back!"
"…I'll think about it."
Bo Siming still felt uneasy. He always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it for a moment.
Shen Shiyu was a hopeless romantic when it came to relationships. She would fawn over any good - looking and well - built man.
When she got impatient, she would do all sorts of stupid things.
But the good thing was that she had learned a little bit about business from Shen Yuliang. She was just too lazy to get involved personally.
It was not impossible to leave such a large company in her hands.
"I forgot to tell you. Hao Zhibin is my secretary now."
Seeing Bo Siming with a straight face, Shen Shiyu took the opportunity to change the topic.
"Yeah, I hired him."
Just thinking about the threat from yesterday made her tremble. As long as this danger remained by her side, she would always be on tenterhooks.
"He used to be your subordinate and went on the yacht. How could you hire such a person? What if he's a spy!"
Bo Siming sneered. "I've sent a killer to keep an eye on him. If he makes any sneaky moves, he'll be killed immediately."
"If he's a loyal dog, it would be a waste to get rid of him easily. There will always be a use for him. You can order him around."
Shen Shiyu was overjoyed. "Really? I can order him around?"
He gave her a doting look. "The secretary assigned to you is naturally under your management, but only within the scope of work."
"Does that mean you agree to let me stay and manage the company?"
She took the opportunity to bring up the topic again and looked into his eyes tentatively.
Bo Siming nodded helplessly. "Yes, I agree. The company can't be without a leader. You must take good care of it when I'm away."
Shen Shiyu excitedly kissed him.
"Don't worry! I..."
Ring - ring - ring. The phone in her small bag rang.
He smiled faintly. "Answer it. We'll talk later."
"Okay, okay." Half of her good mood was gone.
She was afraid that it was Zhu Kai calling at this time.
If it was really him, Shen Shiyu didn't know how to explain.
She took out her phone nervously, and her breathing became erratic.
The screen showed an unfamiliar number.
This made her worried heart calm down a little.
"Hello? Who's this?"
"Hello, Deputy General Manager Shen. I'm Yan Kun, the representative of A Hairui."
Shen Shiyu immediately calmed down and replied softly, "Hello, Representative Yan. May I ask what this call is about?"
"Well, our company plans to build a new commercial building on the original site of the Shen family villa. We'd like to invite Shen's Construction to participate. I'd like to know when you're available. I'll come and visit you in person."
She was stunned.
She had completely forgotten about redeeming her family's villa!
"Ah, this... I..."
Yan Kun continued professionally, "Do you have any concerns?"
Shen Shiyu was in a very complicated mood and didn't know how to reply.
"What's wrong?"
Bo Siming saw her nervous expression and asked.
"Representative Yan, may I discuss this matter with General Manager Bo first?"
"Sure. Please call me back within ten minutes. This matter is urgent. There are many companies vying to cooperate with A Hairui."
Beep - beep - beep. The phone was hung up.
"I'm asking you. Who called? What's going on?"
Bo Siming was too impatient to hold back.
"It's the representative from Rui Rui's company. He said... he said they want to cooperate with us to develop the land where the original Shen family villa was."
"That's a good thing. Why are you hesitating?"
Shen Shiyu pouted reluctantly. "But that used to be my home! Building someone else's commercial building on my family's land is like shooting myself in the foot!"
