Chapter Twenty-Three: Let's Make Peace
Shen Ruoqi lowered his head and was silent for a moment: "Dad, it's time to let go." There is no point in continuing to endure like this, it will only make the Shen family in debt. While our business is still valuable, there are still people willing to buy it, let's sell it quickly! I'm just afraid that if it drags on any longer, no one will take over, and we will only go bankrupt. β
How could Shen Lisong not understand these truths, but he was not reconciled! After so many years of painstaking management, the enterprise developed to the current scale, and he was really unwilling to turn it into nothing.
People are like this, they can accept from nothing, but it is difficult to accept from nothing. With such a huge psychological gap, it is easy to drive people to a dead end.
Although Shen Lisong's entrepreneurial road is inseparable from the foundation given by his father-in-law, it is indeed not easy for him to develop the enterprise to the current scale. poured his life's energy into asking him to start all over again, but Nianhua gave him a new start.
He is no longer the hot-blooded young man he was back then, and he doesn't have the energy to start a business from scratch.
Shen Lisong took out the real estate certificate from the safe, and Shen Ruoqi probably guessed what he wanted to do: "Dad, this house is our last asset." You're going to mortgage this house too, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Shen Lisong didn't think about the consequences, and he struggled with this decision for a long time before making up his mind. Not to mention business, life is also full of adventures, and there is nothing absolutely safe in this world.
With risk comes opportunity, but he still intends to gamble.
Shen Ruoqi really didn't know how to persuade him, this bet was all his net worth. If you lose, the family's life is gone. Even if he doesn't care about everyone, he has to think about his young son.
"I have a job to support myself, and Han Wan is about to graduate, so I believe that it will be no problem to work in a foreign company with her results. We're all right, but what about Xiyu? He's only eleven years old, what should he do?"
Shen Ruoqi doesn't have a good relationship with Yuan Su'an and Shen Hanwan, but he is very good with Shen Xiyu. Although this younger brother was also born to Yuan Su'an, he is not like his mother or his sister, he is naΓ―ve but very introverted. He has been in poor health since he was a child, and he has been recuperating for most of the year.
"Dad, I hope you can think about it again, you have reached this age, and there is something you can't put down. When the company is acquired, we can still get a sum of money, so we don't have nothing. If the other party has the foresight to reform the business, it can also be exchanged for equity, which is not so bad. β
Shen Lisong put away the real estate certificate, which does not mean that he has been persuaded by her, but just wants to think about it again.
"Why did you come back so late tonight? Who is the man who sent you back? I have been busy with myself for the past two months, and I have no time to care about your situation, what is the working environment of you now? Do you still get along well with your colleagues?"
"I've been working overtime late, so it's late, and it's just a colleague who sent me back. I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. It's late, let's get some rest!"
"Xiaoqi! you...... Do you still hate Dad?" Shen Ruoqi didn't understand why he suddenly asked like this. Shen Ruoqi didn't answer, her mother's death was related to him and Yuan Su'an after all.
It's already a little faster to take a shower, and it's really terrible to have to get up early to go to work tomorrow. I dried my hair and was ready to sleep, but there was a knock on Shen Hanwan's door outside the door: "Sister, are you sleeping?"
Sister?How long has it been since Shen Han called her like that? Suddenly screaming so hot, there must be something strange.
"Is there something wrong?" Shen Hanwan stood outside her door with a pillow, and Shen Ruoqi looked at her defensively.
"It's thundering, I'm a little scared, I want to squeeze with you tonight. Without waiting for Shen Ruoqi to agree, Shen Hanwan turned sideways and ran in. The pillow was thrown on the bed, and the whole person lay down.
What's going on today? Strange things are happening one after another.
"Shen Han, what are you doing in the evening? Go out, I still have to go to work tomorrow, and I don't have time to entangle with you. Shen Ruoqi unceremoniously pulled Shen Hanwan up from the bed. Shen Hanwan is also strong enough, but she refuses to leave while lying on her bed.
"Sister, let's make peace!" Shen Hanwan jumped out of bed and gave Shen Ruoqi a big hug directly, which really scared Shen Ruoqi. Probably used to being alone, Shen Ruoqi always subconsciously pushes people away.
After living abroad alone for a long time, she has to do everything by herself, and her hand strength is much stronger than Shen Hanwan. This push directly pushed Shen Hanwan to the ground.
Well, this movement is quite big, attracting Yuan Su'an and Shen Lisong.
"What are you doing here? This family hasn't been dispersed yet! You too, why did you come to someone's house when you knew they wouldn't want to see you? Aren't you looking for a fight? You deserve it. Yuan Su'an's words are really heart-wrenching, this means that she Shen Ruoqi bullied her daughter again.
The mother and daughter in the middle of the night were really not sleepy, and they ran to her room to sing such a big play. She looked down at Shen Hanwan on the ground and sneered: "Okay, your play is also finished, you can go." I'm done playing the role of the wicked, can I end it?"
When she really lost her temper, Shen Ruoqi grabbed Shen Hanwan's wrist and almost dragged her to the door. In Yuan Su'an's exclamation, they were all kicked out of the room by her, and the door was slammed shut.
"Lao Shen, look at her, this is how you have connived at her all these years. I understand that she is too sensitive to the loss of her mother, so I have only been tolerating her everywhere for 20 years, but in the end, she has been considerate of me?" Yuan Su'an cried, Shen Lisong closed his eyes and said nothing, turned around and went back to the room.
The door finally quieted down, Shen Ruoqi rubbed his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a headache. Just wanted to turn off the lights, but Shen Hanwan's voice came from outside the door: "Sister, I didn't mean it just now." β
Shen Ruoqi smiled bitterly and shook her head, the audience has left, her addiction to drama hasn't passed?
It was a sleepless night, and she felt like she had just fallen asleep when the alarm went off. The dark circles under his eyes can't be covered by no amount of foundation, and the whole person looks listless.
It took too much time for this pair of dark circles, and it was almost late to see it. Shen Ruoqi rushed downstairs barefoot, but he didn't notice that there were guests in the living room.
"Xiao Qi!" Shen Ruoqi was stunned for a moment, did she have auditory hallucinations when she didn't sleep well? It seems that Li Mudong called her just now.
Shen Ruoqi turned around, except for Shen Xiyu, who had already gone to school, the rest of Shen Lisong, Yuan Su'an and Shen Han were all there, and there was one more uninvited guest, Li Mudong.
He is really cheeky and disciplined, he quit the marriage of the Shen family, and he went to someone's house early in the morning to be a guest. What the hell does he think, this is not something that a normal person can do.
