When Si Tu took charge of the family corporation, he needed to hire a new secretary. However, no matter how excellent the candidates the Human Resources department sent, he remained unsatisfied.
Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Unconditional Support for Her
After all, this is the Si family, and Ding Na is an outsider.
Being suddenly and coldly driven away by Si Tu, Ding Na looked at Si Jin for help.
At least on the surface, the head of this family is still Si Jin, so she feels that Si Jin can support her.
Si Jin had always hoped that Si Tu could get along harmoniously with her, so he immediately put on the attitude of the head of the family and said, "It's been a long time since we've sat together to eat, so this time..."
"No need." Si Tu interrupted him before he could finish, picked up the boiled water his aunt brought over, and took a sip. "I don't need to sit with her for dinner."
He was determined, and Si Jin wanted to persuade him to obey and agree to the marriage, so it was not easy to go against him.
He was so angry. He really couldn't control his son at all.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Si Jin said, then turned to coax his woman, "You can eat upstairs and let Auntie bring it up to you."
Ding Na felt bad, but since Si Jin had said so, she had no choice but to obey.
She even pretended to be generous, walked over to Si Jin, bent down, kissed him, and said, "Okay, then when you're done talking, remember to call me."
Si Jin was very pleased and nodded with a smile, "Well, go ahead."
Kissing his father in front of Si Tu, her action was somewhat intended to disgust him.
Si Tu gritted his teeth.
Given his temper, he wouldn't stay for even a minute and would just stand up and leave.
But he had to come and talk to Si Jin about Qin Mian today, so he could only endure it.
So he picked up the water cup and took a sip, suppressing the disgust and dissatisfaction in his heart.
When Ding Na stood up and walked away, her eyes lingered on him.
From the moment Si Tu came in and sat down, she noticed that his lips were a little red and swollen.
This was caused by kissing Qin Mian too many times and too intensely from last night to this afternoon.
Now, when she looked at it more closely, she also found an obvious kiss mark next to his neck. Judging from the color of the kiss mark, it must have been made not long ago.
In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that he must have had some great luck with women before coming here.
This made Ding Na feel a little jealous.
The young master of the Si family, whom she had been thinking about for a long time, was finally eaten by another woman.
Yes, she has been coveting Si Tu for more than a day or two.
When he was young, everyone praised Si Tu for being a good grower, combining the strengths of his parents. As he grew older, those strengths became more and more prominent.
Especially since puberty, his facial features have become more three-dimensional, looking very masculine, and his body has grown and developed rapidly, becoming tall and strong. The youthful tension he possesses is something his father Si Jin cannot give him.
When she was with Si Jin, Si Jin was already in his thirties. Although he was quite capable in all aspects, he was still no match for a young wolfdog.
Young, fragrant breasts, even the smell of sweat, are filled with strong hormones of the opposite sex.
She once saw her aunt taking Si Tu's clothes to wash, and she could imagine a lot of things.
So from that time on, whenever she saw him, she would be particularly envious.
Even though Si Tu had disliked her since childhood, and he always responded indifferently to her attentiveness and flattery, but because of the eagerness in her heart, she still flattered him in various ways and hinted at him.
And with Si Tu's intelligence, let alone her flattery, he knew that this woman had ulterior motives just by looking at the way she looked at him.
This is also why he mercilessly called Ding Na a bitch in front of his father in the office that day.
It's already annoying enough to interfere in his family, but he actually wants to take over both father and son. What a bitch.
It was also from that time that Si Tu's disgust for this woman reached its peak. Almost every time he saw her, he would feel physically uncomfortable, annoyed, want to vomit, and frown.
His attitude towards her became worse and worse, and Dingna's feelings towards him became more and more complicated.
At this moment, feeling Ding Na's gaze, Si Tu frowned again.
However, Ding Na walked around Si Jin with a somewhat unscrupulous look.
What a pity, I can only envy it.
Qin Mian's secretary eats really well.
Even luckier than her.
She had never enjoyed a young man like Si Tu who had a temper, personality, and was full of energy.
She once went out secretly to find a meal substitute, and she completely imagined the other party to be Si Tu, but it was still not enough.
Anyway, the man she couldn't get was gotten by Qin Mian. Thinking of this, she felt a little jealous.
Ding Na sighed in her heart and left the restaurant unwillingly.
Suddenly, only the father and son were left in the restaurant, and Si Tu finally picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat.
"Don't bother Qin Mian with my affairs in the future." He said coldly.
Si Jin tutted his words and played dumb, "I can't use your secretary anymore."
"She's more than just my secretary." Si Tu didn't give him a chance to play dumb, "You know it."
"She even deliberately arranged for me to marry into the Zhao family." Thinking back to last night, when his relationship with Qin Mian almost completely collapsed, he gnashed his teeth in hatred, "Using such a clumsy, despicable trick."
Si Jin was in the wrong, but the authority of the head of the family did not allow for provocation.
In particular, Si Tu's attitude made him very unhappy, as if he wanted to ride on his father's head and teach him a lesson.
"Is this the tone and attitude you should use when talking to me?!"
Fortunately, he sent his woman away, otherwise, with his son's attitude and tone, he would have lost face as a father.
Si Tu took a bite of his meal, snorted with a sarcastic smile, "Are you trying to show off your qualifications to me now?"
Si Jin fell silent for a moment.
From the moment he made Si Tu's mother pregnant, he felt that his mission was accomplished, so he rarely went home.
Since Si Tu was born, he has been taken care of by various nannies, babysitters, drivers, etc. in the family.
Later, he went to elementary school. Si Tu's grandfather was worried that he would grow up in a wrong way due to lack of family education, so he took him in to live with him for a while.
But Si Jin would not admit his mistake. He continued to act arrogantly, "In this world, there's no reason for a kid to teach me!"
Si Tu sneered.
He no longer had any interest in discussing with him the issue of how he had been mistreated by his father since he was a child.
His only goal now was to stop them from bothering Qin Mian, so he brought the topic back.
"Okay, make her unhappy again." Si Tu's face was gloomy. He raised his eyes and his gaze drifted towards the second floor.
Dingna was sitting in the living room, and the nanny had just brought her some food.
He twitched the corner of his lip in an ambiguous way.
He is going to take action against Ding Na.
Anyway, he had been displeased with her for a long time.
There was nothing I could do when I was a child, but it’s different when I grow up.
"You dare!" Si Jin was furious.
"What am I afraid of?" Si Tu retracted his gaze and looked at Si Jin, "If you make my woman suffer one point, I will make your woman suffer two points, or even ten points!"
**
Qin Mian ate alone at home that night.
She didn't know what would happen to Si Tu, so she was distracted and felt like she was chewing wax.
After taking a few bites, she didn't want to eat anymore.
Just then, Si Tu came back at this time.
Qin Mian looked up when he heard the voice and looked at his expression carefully.
Si Tu did not regain his composure. When he looked up at her, he even smiled at her.
He seems to be in a good mood.
"Is it solved?" Qin Mian asked.
Si Tu walked towards her with a smile, "I said it can be resolved today, don't you believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just..." She didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Or rather, it's that easy.
She saw that such conflicts among families on TV were very difficult to resolve.
But it seems that Si Tu is not affected at all.
Si Tu glanced at the food on the table and saw that she had hardly eaten anything.
"Is tonight's meal not to your liking?"
All the meals are specially prepared by the hotel chefs, using the best ingredients and equipped with the most capable chefs, and the meals are impeccable.
"No, I..."
Qin Mian subconsciously denied it, but then realized that he seemed to have let the cat out of the bag.
As expected, Si Tu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Why is that?" He pulled out a chair opposite her and sat down, staring at her carefully. "Loss of appetite?"
He was also really worried that she was not feeling well.
"No." Qin Mian's eyes dodged, "I just started eating."
"Oh." Si Tu pulled the corner of his lip slightly and picked up the dishes on the other side. "I thought you were worried about me."
Qin Mian: "..."
She fell silent, and Si Tu opened the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
Qin Mian found that he was very hungry.
"You haven't eaten yet?"
"I took two bites." Si Tu reached out to pick up some food.
I guess the conversation wasn't very pleasant, so I didn't eat much.
Qin Mian saw that he had no intention of chatting further, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
It was really not her place to interfere too much in his family's problems.
So, she nodded, picked up her chopsticks, and continued to eat with him.
She had no appetite at first, but now she had one again.
That night, before going to bed, Qin Mian borrowed Si Tu's study and printed out the plan for opening an artificial intelligence experience center.
She made an appointment with the Shen couple the next day to discuss cooperation in opening an artificial intelligence experience center.
She took the lead and invited the two to dinner at the restaurant.
Because a suitable environment was needed to discuss cooperation, she even spent a lot of money to book a nice private room.
She arrived first. After the Shen couple came in arm in arm, they greeted her, glanced around the box, and asked familiarly, "Is Si Tu not here?"
Qin Mian smiled and said, "I'm here to talk to you today."
She really didn't want to have too much involvement with Si Tu in her career.
Although Si Tu has changed significantly recently, he will try his best to respect her wishes and will not force her to do anything she doesn't want to do.
However, people change, and relationships change too.
She doesn't want her career to be affected by personal problems one day.
So she felt that being completely independent from him was the safest approach.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen had some idea of the two people's situation, so they didn't inquire too much. They smiled and nodded, then exchanged greetings and took their seats.
The tea artist added tea for the two of them. Qin Mian didn't rush to talk to them about cooperation, but first chatted about their recent situation.
After the meal was served, she gradually turned the topic to cooperation. After eating and drinking, she handed the plan she had prepared in advance to the two of them.
There was a lot of content, but it was almost the same as what we talked about during the meal.
Shen Muzhou first took a quick look at it, and then said he would take it back for detailed study.
After all, it is a business cooperation, so it will not be decided easily and immediately. I will probably have to go back to the company to meet with other people to discuss it.
Therefore, Qin Mian was not in a hurry to get an answer. He smiled and said, "Okay, wait for Mr. Shen's news."
That night, Qin Mian returned home and Si Tu was already there.
He came back earlier than her and was already taking a shower in the bathroom.
Qin Mian went to the cloakroom to get his pajamas, and when he came out, Si Tu had already washed them.
The two met in the room. Si Tu was wrapped in a bath towel, wiping his hair, and asked about Qin Mian's discussion with the Shen couple today.
"We still have to wait for news." Qin Mian said, glancing at his abdominal muscles above the bath towel.
She was thinking of taking a shower with him, but who knew he would be so quick.
Si Tu noticed her gaze and subconsciously looked down.
However, Qin Mian just glanced at him briefly, then quickly walked past him and went to the bathroom.
Si Tu curled the corners of his lips slightly, took off the towel from his hair, first found his cell phone and contacted Chen Muzhou.
Qin Mian now clearly has a desire for him, so he is not so anxious anymore.
There will be plenty of time left anyway.
In the past, he was afraid that Qin Mian would not want him, so he was anxious and wanted to verify something on her immediately.
[What's the situation now?] After Si Tu contacted Chen Muzhou, he asked him directly, [Are you willing to cooperate with the plan proposed by Qin Mian?]
Shen Muzhou: [To be honest, this matter was originally in our plan.]
If she cooperates with Qin Mian now, it would be equivalent to giving her a share of the profits.
It’s not like his own company can’t do it.
If I didn't have any special relationship with her, I really wouldn't want to give her this great opportunity.
Si Tu understood the hidden meaning in his words.
Although they were good friends, the business world was like a battlefield, and even brothers had to settle accounts, not to mention asking the other party to give Qin Mian this opportunity for his sake.
[In that case, I will provide her with any funds and resources she needs in the future.]
[If you encounter any problems in this matter, I can help you unconditionally.]
Chen Muzhou tutted, [You really are serious about her, helping her like this!]
Si Tu smiled.
That's natural, so he was particularly willing to support her career unconditionally.
Once Si Tu said this, the matter was basically a done deal.
The bait he threw out was too big, and there was no reason for Shen Muzhou to refuse.
[But I have a condition.] Si Tu added something as he thought of something.
Shen Muzhou: [What?]
Si Tu: [In the name of your wife, don't let Qin Mian know that I'm behind this.]
