Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Just in case, I need all the...
Si Yizhi had indeed made full preparations for his return to Beijing this time.
This time they didn't even stay in a hotel, but moved directly into a large flat in the city center.
This property worth over 100 million yuan has been packed up and is ready for you to move into.
It is a blessing for Mr. Tosi that the worker who just got rid of negative assets can now live in a luxury house!
The guest room that Shao Jiayan lived in was the one that President Si had asked a housekeeping company to clean up a while ago.
Although it is not as rich as the Si family's old house, the hardware and software facilities built with real money still make Shao Jiayan very satisfied with his temporary residence.
However, the comfortable environment did not make Shao Jiayan forget the purpose of their trip. When he thought that the Si family and the Wen family would join forces to deal with President Si, he became worried.
"I have contacted Si Rong. Three days from now is a good day. They decided to remove the tube from Grandpa on that day."
The last time I went to the Si family, the family doctor had already tactfully stated that Mr. Si was now a breathing corpse. In order to let the old man pass away peacefully, the doctor had actually suggested to the Si family several times to remove the tube from the old man's body, but they were all rejected.
Si Yizhi took out a box and handed it to Shao Jiayan.
He opened it and saw a brand new small camera inside.
"Do you know how to use it?" Si Yizhi asked.
Shao Jiayan shook his head awkwardly, "But I can learn! Isn't there an instruction manual? This electronic device shouldn't be complicated to use."
There is nothing wrong with this expected answer.
"Then you should study it over the next two days. Grandpa will be cremated and buried in three days. You will be with me and film the whole process."
"Okay, Mr. Si, I will definitely complete the task well."
Shao Jiayan had only heard that weddings needed to be filmed throughout the entire process, but as for funerals...it was the first time he heard that funerals also needed to be filmed.
Si Yizhi, realizing that he had misjudged his thoughts, reminded him in a low voice.
"I'm not asking you to film the funeral process, I'm asking you to film me at the funeral."
I have already fallen out with the Si family. The funeral is being held on someone else's territory. If something goes wrong, it will be hard to explain.
With the experience of what happened to his mother as a lesson, Si Yizhi had to take precautions before it happens.
Shao Jiayan's heart trembled.
It was the comfortable environment that made him relax for a moment.
They are not in Shenzhen now but in Beijing. This is the base camp of the Si family and the Wen family. I, a passerby, have been subtly influenced and inexplicably joined the villain team:)
Although it was different from his original intention when he first entered the book, Shao Jiayan did not regret it.
After stripping away the character skin given to Si Yizhi by the original novel, after getting to know him in real life, Shao Jiayan felt that Si was a top-notch boss who seemed aloof but was actually easy to talk to and respectful. As a low-level worker who suffered from the hardship of working, he did not want to miss out on such a top-notch boss.
[Anyway, I have paid off my student loan, and my current salary can save a lot after rent and basic expenses. If I can save Mr. Si, then he will be the legitimate boss in Beijing, and I will be the hero...]
Shao Jiayan thought happily while fiddling with the camera.
Si Yizhi, who was standing by, observed his facial expression and was pleased by his "merit in following the dragon."
But when he heard what Shao Jiayan said in his heart, he was no longer happy: [If he really can't be saved, then it's the fate of the villain. Anyway, I have a good relationship with Young Master Wen, so if Mr. Si fails, I can get away with it. ]
"Mr. Si, what's wrong with you?" Shao Jiayan was flipping through the instruction manual when he suddenly noticed that his boss was still standing there staring at him.
Seeing that the other party looked unhappy, he couldn't help but ask weakly.
The other party just snorted coldly and walked away without looking back.
This year's winter in Beijing is exceptionally cold and long.
It's almost the end of February, but when Shao Jiayan got up this morning, he found that the outside of the window was covered with snow. The warm indoors and the snowy outdoors seemed like two completely different worlds.
Shao Jiayan thought, how romantic it felt to lie on the warm bed and look at the snow outside the window.
He wrapped himself tightly in a soft and warm quilt, curled up in the quilt and watched the snow.
But this comfortable stay in bed did not last for two minutes before it was interrupted by the capitalist's ruthless ringing of the phone.
"I'll be out in thirty minutes."
It was only after moving into the flat that the villain boss temporarily bought in Beijing that Shao Jiayan gained a deeper understanding of the ruthlessness of these villains.
This guy gets up at 5:30 in the morning to exercise~
Don’t ask Shao Jiayan how he knew this. The only thing he knew was that someone was woken up by the loud noise he made during his morning exercise.
However, working people are not worthy of staying in bed. Shao Jiayan climbed out of bed using his hands and feet and started a day of hard work.
Ever since he accompanied President Si back to Beijing last time, Si Yizhi has handed over his daily schedule to Shao Jiayan.
As a competent life assistant, Shao Jiayan will arrange the president's schedule reasonably. Although when he was in Shenzhen, Mr. Si was always obsessed with work and rarely went out, so there were not many places where Shao Jiayan really needed to plan the itinerary.
But now that he is in Beijing, Mr. Si has to plan his daily schedule seriously.
For example, today, Mr. Si is going to have lunch with my mother's current husband at noon. Before going to eat, they have to prepare some souvenirs.
As soon as the largest shopping mall in Beijing opened, Shao Jiayan followed Mr. Si and went straight to the luxury goods counter.
After lamenting that "gifts from rich people" are just different, Shao Jiayan turned himself into a ruthless tool to pay the bill.
Fortunately, nowadays we have bodyguards to accompany us when we travel, and there are people to carry our bags.
But when Shao Jiayan saw Mr. Si approaching a luxury brand counter for the fourth time to look at women's jewelry, he finally couldn't help but speak.
"Mr. Si, you have already bought a lot of jewelry. Why don't you take a look at other things, such as bags and high-end clothing. I think your mother will like them too." This was the first time that Shao Jiayan swiped such a large amount of money after getting Si Yizhi's secondary credit card.
The string of zeros at the end of those bills made the workers dizzy.
But Si Yizhi felt that it was not enough and wanted to visit all the jewelry stores he could see, just because in his distant memory, his mother was a woman who loved beauty and jewelry very much.
"My dad was having an affair with his secretary at that time. My grandma didn't like my mom who came from an ordinary family, and she always taught me to say things that she didn't like and hated her for being poor. I was young at that time and could only parrot what the adults taught me." Si Yizhi asked the clerk to pack another diamond ring. "I can't remember clearly that she was poisoned. The only deep memory I have of her is the way she cried when Si Rong took off their engagement diamond ring and gave it to that mistress."
Only then did Shao Jiayan notice that all the rings Si Yizhi bought were diamond rings, and each one was of considerable carat weight.
These rings and jewelry are actually a son's confession. Even when the harm happened, he still didn't remember it.
"When I first started my business, I used my first pot of money to buy her a ring and asked someone to send it to her. Her husband later told me that she liked it very much."
Although Shao Jiayan understood the truth, he still felt that no woman would wear ten rings at once.
Later, on the recommendation of the store clerk, Si Yizhi bought some clothes and bags that could match the jewelry.
In addition to these, there are also nutritional supplements and antiques, calligraphy and paintings that were prepared earlier.
When the three cars drove out and arrived at the restaurant that Shao Jiayan had booked in advance, all three cars were full.
"Boss Si, you don't look like you're meeting an elder, you look more like you're delivering goods." Seeing how well prepared he was, Shao Jiayan couldn't help but sigh, "Although your mother can't see you, I believe she will understand your intentions after seeing the things you prepared."
Si Yizhi rarely smiled, "I hope so."
Si Yizhi's mother's current husband's surname is Xu, and Si Yizhi had only met him twice before today.
The first time was when Uncle Xu and my mother had just gotten married, and the other time was before Si Yizhi was about to go to Germany.
The restaurant chosen by Shao Jiayan, who was already a mature general assistant, had excellent privacy and a first-class environment. However, when Mr. Xu, the general manager of the company, arrived, Shao Jiayan subconsciously felt that the restaurant he had booked was of a low standard.
"Hello, Uncle Xu." Si Yizhi was very respectful to this elder who was not related to him by blood.
His attitude is much more friendly than the cold and aloof one he showed when he was at the Si family.
Even though this was only their third meeting.
This Uncle Xu has an ordinary appearance, but he has an extraordinary temperament.
Just by looking at his typical slicked-back hair and the Zhongshan suit he wears, one can tell at a glance what this man's occupation is.
After Shao Jiayan took over the waiter's position and served tea, he left the private room and left the space to them.
The two chatted for almost half an hour before the waiter served the food.
After the meal was over and the guests were sent away, Shao Jiayan could clearly feel that Mr. Si was in a good mood.
Sure enough, the next moment, Mr. Si was in a good mood and said, "Uncle Xu said that my mother got pregnant and gave birth to a daughter three years ago. Her mental state is very stable now, and she is no different from a normal person."
What Si Yizhi didn't say was that Uncle Xu didn't want them to meet for the sake of protecting his wife. And Si Yizhi himself was no longer at the age where he needed a mother.
"Uncle Xu is a powerful man and a very reliable person. My mother is with him, and our family of three lives a happy life. I feel relieved." Si Yizhi said this from the bottom of his heart.
The shackles that I had been carrying on my back for more than twenty years finally loosened a little today.
Shao Jiayan was also touched by his rare outward expression of emotion and said sincerely, "That's great."
Unfortunately, Si Yizi's good mood did not last long and was dispelled by a phone call from Si Rong.
Si Yizhi performed a face-changing on the spot and said in a deep voice, "Go to Si's house."
According to the Si family's original plan, there were still two days before the old man's tube was removed.
But I don’t know what went wrong in the process, but Mr. Si’s heart stopped beating today.
In fact, for elderly people in this situation at home, it is normal for them to pass away suddenly at any time.
But because they were rich, the Si family always had a mysterious self-confidence. Especially the old lady, who was said to have asked a master to calculate the day for the tube removal. Now the old man passed away before the day came, and she was furious at home.
Before Shao Jiayan followed Mr. Si into the house, he could hear the old lady's harsh voice across the entire corridor.
"I spent five million to have you calculate a good day that would bless my descendants! And you calculated a day that I couldn't even survive?! Give me back my money!"
[This old lady is unreasonable. The doctor said that the old man is already brain dead and is hanging on a device and could die at any time. This old lady actually blames the feng shui master for not calculating the date correctly? ]
Due to the sudden passing of Mr. Si, the servants of the Si family all changed into black clothes in the past few days.
The maid who led them to the main hall looked hurried. When they reached the door, she gestured for them to come in. "Master, please go in directly."
So Shao Jiayan started working.
The people who were arguing fiercely stopped when they saw Si Yizhi coming in with his own camera.
Mrs. Si looked at the camera behind Si Yizhi and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"I heard that grandpa passed away, so I rushed here immediately. Just in case, I need to record the whole process." Si Yizhi stood in front of the crowd, and his cold eyes swept over everyone present. "So why are you arguing here instead of taking care of grandpa's affairs?"
Old Mrs. Si, who had been angry just now, snorted coldly, turned her face away and said nothing.
Perhaps it was too embarrassing to talk about it in front of outsiders, and the whole hall was silent for more than ten seconds. In the end, Bai Weiwei took the initiative to smooth things over, and invited Si Yizhi to come over and sit down to discuss the subsequent funeral arrangements.
But just as he sat down, Si Rong stared at Shao Jiayan with dissatisfaction and said, "We are in your own home, why are you taking pictures? Put them away quickly!"
Assistant Shao said nothing, but just kept taking pictures of his boss's handsome face.
Facing his father's rebuke, Si Yizhi sneered, "Grandpa is dead, why are you still pretending? They are ready to fight to the death, shouldn't I be on guard?"
The main function of the camera that Si Yizhi gave to Shao Jiayan is to upload the recorded content to the cloud in real time. He has fully learned the lesson from his mother's poisoning. This time when he returned to Beijing, he had no intention of leaving any good for the Si family.
"You...rebellious son!" Si Rong was very angry with his attitude.
If Si Yizhi had a bad attitude when he came home last time, he would have thought that his eldest son was angry because of his partiality. But now it seems that Si Yizhi's attitude when he came home last time was to give him some leeway because the old man was still alive. Today, Si Yizhi's true nature was completely exposed.
Seeing the undisguised hatred in his own son's eyes, Si Rong's heart ached.
The words of reprimand that were originally on the tip of my tongue were stuck in my throat, unable to go up or down, and I felt very uncomfortable.
"Everyone is sad that Grandpa passed away." At this time, the protagonist stood up and tried to calm the dispute. "Brother, no matter what you are dissatisfied with, most of those present are your elders. The people from the funeral home will come to pick up Grandpa soon, so you should restrain yourself a little."
Looking at the tense attitude of the two brothers, Shao Jiayan, who originally wanted to be a cameraman, couldn't help swallowing.
[Oh my god! Mr. Si, although you have hired bodyguards, they are waiting outside! We have to bow our heads under the eaves. There are so many of them. Can you restrain yourself first?]
Si Yizhi glanced at the people in the room, then sideways glanced at his assistant, who had barely gained a few pounds recently, and he was considered to be restrained.
What happened next was to send the body to the funeral home for cremation and then handle the funeral arrangements.
Si Rong has already asked Si's public relations department to announce the news of the old man's death and has also informed relevant relatives and friends of the funeral time.
In the afternoon, Si Yizi followed the Si family to the funeral home that they had contacted previously.
The old man looks haggard and really ugly.
Fortunately, the undertaker had excellent skills, and after putting on his shroud, Mr. Si looked much more like a human being.
"Assistant Shao, the professional photographers are here to film the funeral. You don't need to follow along."
Shao Jiayan had been following his boss closely, but was suddenly stopped by Si Yiran.
Hearing this, he realized that the Si family's funeral team was very professional. That huge group of people looked like they had spent a lot of money.
But Si Yizhi directly rejected his request, "You take your photos, I take mine, it doesn't matter."
Si Yiran frowned and said, "But there's no need for that. The funeral team I hired are all experienced professionals. Has your assistant ever learned photography? His posture of holding the camera is not professional. Are you sure he can follow the filming properly?"
"I think you misunderstood." Si Yizhi smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "My follower was not here to film the funeral process. He was here to film me at the funeral."
As he spoke, he glanced at Si Rong and his wife who were not far away and had been looking at him. He said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "After all, I am just an outsider now. If something happens at the funeral, it will be difficult for me to clear myself without video evidence."
"You..." Si Yiran was thinking something angrily.
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
"Sorry, go ahead and take the pictures if you want." His unexpected apology surprised Si Yizhi.
But when he looked at Bai Weiwei's apologetic smile not far away, he seemed to understand something.
[What's going on? Why didn't Si Yiran, this guy with no emotional intelligence, speak arrogantly today?] Shao Jiayan was a little puzzled.
But the subtle atmosphere among the Si family was really uncomfortable to watch, so he hid slightly behind President Si and focused on the work at hand.
Because Mr. Si had left a message in his early years that his funeral should not be a big deal and that everything should be kept simple.
So the funeral was just as he wished, and it was indeed very simple. This was also the only thing that the old man had wished for in all these years.
Although the funeral was not grand, there were many guests who came to pay their respects.
Almost all the big names in the Beijing circle were present, but it was a pity that Shao Jiayan didn't know any of these big names in the Beijing circle and just followed them around.
Old Mrs. Si and Madam Si kept wiping away tears at the funeral, but the men in the Si family all looked solemn and said nothing.
At first, Shao Jiayan was able to hold up the camera and follow closely, but because there were too many people coming to pay their respects, the farewell process alone lasted until dark. Even though it was indoors, Shao Jiayan, who was only wearing a thin black suit, was still freezing.
[Wow, my hands are cold~ I should have worn gloves like the butler! ]
But he soon realized something was wrong.
[Isn't this empathy? Shouldn't Mr. Si feel cold for me?! ]
The next second Si Yizhi glanced back at him and whispered, "Send a message to the bodyguards and ask them to bring the coats from the car."
[Okay, it turns out that Mr. Si is also cold~]
Two cold people were waiting in the cold mourning hall for the bodyguard to get their coats.
The ceremony was long, and Mrs. Si, who was already in poor health, could no longer hold on, so she went to the lounge with the help of her daughter-in-law. Si Rong was old, so he didn't hold on to the end.
At this time, the only two brothers Si Yiran and Si Yizhi were still standing in the mourning hall to receive guests.
The bodyguards went back and forth very quickly.
Si Yizhi's cashmere coat is light and warm, and it doesn't feel cold after putting it on. But on the other hand, Shao Jiayan's black down coat, which he bought on Pinduoduo for 99 yuan, looks loose all over.
Less than five minutes after the two put on their coats, Si Yizhi couldn't bear it anymore and took off his coat and put it on Assistant Niu Ma's shoulders, gritting his teeth and saying, "You wear mine."
