Chapter 15 Chapter 15 You want me to give up my inheritance...
Si Yizhi, who had visited Wuhan once in his early years, has a deep understanding of the city’s traffic conditions.
This is also the reason why he asked Shao Jiayan, the novice driver, to set off an hour and a half earlier.
"Drivers in Wuhan drive a little aggressively. If you're scared, how about I drive?" Si Yizhi joked.
"No...no need." Shao Jiayan said stiffly.
Shao Jiayan, who had been honking all the way behind him, finally successfully sent Mr. Si to the designated hotel for the summit. After witnessing the tragedy of a speeding private car crashing into a tram on the way, he slowed down his car to a crawl. The original 40-plus-minute drive took him almost an hour and a half to arrive.
After accompanying Mr. Si to sign in, a colleague from the branch office who arrived at the venue before them came over and asked, "Did your journey go smoothly? Why are you here so late?"
Facing local colleagues, Shao Jiayan had to tactfully express that he was not familiar with the local road conditions and there was a reason why he was driving slowly.
The seemingly gentle female colleague smiled awkwardly, "In our area... everyone drives like this, you'll get used to it."
This industry summit attracted many investors from home and abroad, and it was an opportunity for all major game manufacturers.
Among them, the Ark game, which focuses on the second dimension game, is still the only one that has no substitute in the entire network. Although the flow of Love Reincarnation is usually average, every time the card pool is updated, there will be a burst of top flow from time to time, which still makes many investors curious about their operation model.
In just half a day, Si Yizhi received many business cards and invitations for in-depth cooperation from well-known investors.
Looking at the extremely glorious focus of the crowd at the summit, Shao Jiayan couldn't help but sigh: [Our company has developed so well under the leadership of President Si. If the villain boss doesn't commit suicide, he can definitely develop very well in the gaming industry. Why is President Si so depressed that he has to go back to the Si family to compete with the protagonist for the family property? ]
[Money is important, but you only have one life~]
During the week in Wuhan, Shao Jiayan accompanied Mr. Si on several outings and gradually adapted to the road conditions in the city.
He believed that with the experience of this week's special training in Wuhan, he could be considered an experienced "old driver". In the future, he would volunteer to be the driver when he went out with Mr. Si. Driving by himself could greatly reduce the possibility of Mr. Si causing a car accident and becoming a vegetable in the original story.
On the last day of his business trip in Wuhan, Si Yizhi received a sudden call from his father in Beijing.
He answered the phone in front of Shao Jiayan. The father and son simply chatted for a few words and ended the conversation, but Shao Jiayan, who was eavesdropping on the side, had much more psychological activities than the father and son.
[Here it comes! The important plot is coming! Mr. Si is going to die, and the battle for the family property between the protagonist and the villain is about to begin! 】
There were several times when Si Yizhi wanted to tell Shao Jiayan more about himself to prevent him from having wild imaginations.
But considering that the two of them were just an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship, Si Yizhi finally held back.
"I have to go back to Beijing. The New Year is coming soon. You..."
Si Yizhi originally wanted to pretend to be polite to Shao Jiayan, but the other party reacted strongly and insisted on accompanying him back to Beijing.
"Boss Si, let me go with you! I'm alone and have no hometown to return to, so please take me back to Beijing. I can help you with anything, right?"
Si Yizhi said "hmm" in a reserved manner, and agreed, "Then I will pay you three times the overtime pay during the Spring Festival."
[Although triple the salary is important, what’s more important is that I have to try to stop you from committing suicide! Sister Ai Si has become a drinking buddy with Wen Kefan, my dear Boss, can you please not die? I don’t want to run around in the job market at the beginning of next year! ]
Amidst the crazy complaints from Niu Ma's assistant, Si Yizhi acted as if nothing had happened and said calmly, "I'll leave the ticket grabbing matter to you."
There is no need to elaborate on how difficult it is to get high-speed rail tickets two days before New Year’s Eve.
In short, Shao Jiayan used his computer and mobile phone, and even asked the interns from the branch office to work with him for most of the night, but still failed to get a ticket. However, even if there was no high-speed rail, he could still buy plane tickets. Mr. Si still spent a huge amount of money to buy two tickets to Beijing that afternoon. The price made Shao Jiayan feel painful.
After spending a long time with Si Yizhi, Shao Jiayan realized that this man was not really a miser, he just simply lacked money.
After all, a game development fund would cost more than a billion, and their company already had three such money-burning games. Although Shao Jiayan knew that these games would be profitable after they were launched, he also had to rely on Si Yizhi to survive until then, right?
It was already dark when the two landed in Beijing.
Shao Jiayan felt like his ears were about to be frozen off after suddenly coming from a city with temperatures above zero to Beijing where the temperature was over ten degrees below zero at night.
"Put it on." Seeing that he was shaking like a sieve, Si Yizhi took out a cashmere coat from the suitcase and put it on his shoulders.
Unexpectedly, this assistant Niu Ma was too thin, and Si Yizhi's large coat couldn't even stay on his shoulders, and it slipped down and was about to fall to the ground.
Both of them were startled and reached out to grab it at the same time.
Si Yizhi reacted quickly and took the lead in grabbing the coat. Shao Jiayan, who was a step slower, did not grab the coat, but firmly grasped the boss's dry and warm hand.
God knows that it was the first time for Shao Jiayan, who had been a solo singer since birth, to hold hands with a handsome guy. He paused for only a second and then quickly let go of the man’s hand.
"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Si..." Assistant Niu Ma didn't show it on his face, but if you looked closely, you would see that the tips of his ears were red.
Realizing that this was still an innocent little calf, Si Yizhi glanced at his fleecy down jacket calmly and said, "Put it on, don't freeze."
Shao Jiayan was so cold that he could hardly speak clearly, but his inner voice was still clear.
[Damn it, this is the down jacket I bought specifically for team building, why is it not warm at all? ]
Shao Jiayan, who had never lived in the north, had never expected that the winter in China could be so cold. He cursed himself in his heart for buying a hundred-yuan down jacket for cheapness.
Fortunately, Mr. Si's coat was very warm, but the expensive cashmere coat looked a little funny on him.
Shao Jiayan is at least 175cm tall, but he is too thin. When he wears Si Yizhi's clothes, he looks like a child who has stolen adult clothes.
Fortunately, the distance outside was not far. This time, Si's father asked him to return to Beijing and arranged for the Si family driver to pick him up.
In the heated car, Shao Jiayan immediately took off his boss's coat and sat upright. The driver in the front seat was dressed in a suit and white gloves, looking very professional.
As Si Yizhi's only subordinate, Shao Jiayan felt that he could not embarrass his boss.
He folded his coat carefully and put it on his arm, his face determined as if he was going to join the party in the next second.
"Don't be so nervous." Si Yizhi couldn't bear to watch it anymore and nudged him with his elbow. "Just follow me for a while, don't run around."
As Mr. Si had been bedridden for many years, the Si family's old house had all kinds of medical equipment and emergency facilities that were no worse than those in a general tertiary hospital. When the old man was dying, the Si family discussed and decided to let him spend his last days at home.
This is Shao Jiayan's first visit to the Si family.
When I read the book before, the author spent a lot of space describing the magnificence of this wealthy family. But when Shao Jiayan was actually there, he couldn't help but be a little shocked.
This endless maze-like corridor and the quiet and solemn atmosphere forced him to be extremely alert and careful.
"Young Master, the old man is on the second floor. Everyone is over there. Please go directly over." The middle-aged butler made a "please" gesture respectfully.
Since it was a private family matter, Shao Jiayan, an outsider, was not allowed to enter Mr. Si's room.
Watching the lonely man walk into the heavy door, Shao Jiayan felt a little worried about his boss for some reason.
"Are you back?" Si Rong, who was sitting beside the old man's bed, did not look well. He was only over fifty years old but already had a head full of white hair and looked extremely weathered.
This was similar to the image of his father in Si Yizhi's memory. As far as he could remember, Si Rong looked much older than his peers. His second wife, Bai Weiwei, was much younger and prettier. If she stood next to Si Rong, people would probably believe they were father and daughter.
Standing behind them was their son Si Yiran.
The two brothers seldom met each other in the old house, and this time when they met they just nodded slightly as a greeting.
"How is grandpa?" The heating in the ward was turned on very high. Si Yizhi took off his coat and handed it to the servant beside him.
Bai Weiwei wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, "The doctor said that she will only live for a few days. Your grandma couldn't bear the shock and fainted several times today."
Looking at his grandfather who was still unconscious on the bed, Si Yizhi fell into silence.
In the end, it was Si Rong who spoke first. He called Si Yizhi to the next room and said he wanted to talk to him alone.
"Your game company went public this year, which is great." Although Si Rong looked very old, it was not difficult to tell from his superior bone structure and noble temperament that he was a handsome man with outstanding appearance when he was young.
The good looks of the two brothers Si Yizhi and Si Yiran were inherited from him.
They hadn't seen each other for so many years, and even though they were father and son, they had nothing to say to each other.
Seeing Si Yizhi was silent, he wanted to take this opportunity to show more concern for his eldest son, but facing Si Yizhi's cold face, Si Rong, who was not good at finding topics, could not say anything to this cold and unfamiliar son. After a few simple questions, Si Rong sighed and said in a deep voice, "The main reason I called you back this time is because the old man is dying. I heard from Lawyer Zhang that the old man wants to divide the property equally between you and Yiran."
Si Yizhi remained silent.
"Now that you have opened your own company and are the boss, you should understand that power should not be lost to others." Si Rong continued, "If you and Yi Ran split the shares equally, if there is any conflict between the two of you, the situation of the company will be very delicate. We can't let this happen!"
"So?" Si Yizhi said slowly, "So you want me to give up my inheritance rights?"
Si Rong looked at his son, who was taller than him, with complicated eyes, unable to hide his guilt.
"Yiran started working at Si Corporation right after graduation. He is smart, capable, and familiar with the company's business." Si Rong avoided his son's sight and said softly, "And he has a good mother. The Bai family will protect him. With him in charge of the company, Si Corporation will not go downhill in the next 20 years!"
"Yizhi, Dad hopes you can understand."
