The person in charge was adamant, which made the general manager lose his temper. He said coldly, "Tell your General Manager Yu that our Tangxin Dessert Hotel is not something he can just acquire as he pleases. How do you know that our dessert hotel is already riddled with problems? We already have other plans!"
With a snap, the general manager hung up the phone. He was truly disgusted by the Yu family's overbearing attitude, especially Yu Jingchen. He had indeed managed to build the hotel business, and he did have some skills, but ultimately, he relied on the Yu family's wealth and ability to spend money. Yu Jingchen didn't need to worry too much about funding issues. With the Yu family protecting him, he could completely bear the risk of failure. This playboy had never seen the true dark side of the business world.
The general manager was furious, and the person in charge of negotiating the acquisition, whom Yu's Group had sent, was equally furious. He was ready to teach Tang Xin a lesson, so he added fuel to the fire, conveying the general manager's words with a touch of negativity directly to Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen hasn't been to the company much lately, and he's been handling many things via video conference at the hospital. To allow Yu Shishu to rest during this time, Yu Jingchen gave Yu Shishu a thorough check-up, insisting that Yu Shishu see exactly what was wrong. However, Yu Jingchen was really terrified when Yu Shishu choked on his food and almost bit him to death.
He stayed by his younger brother's side, insisting that his brother must rest and recuperate, eat and sleep on time. He was also very busy and didn't have time to talk to Yu Shishu. The person in charge of acquiring Tangxin's hotels called Yu Jingchen to tell him that Tangxin's general manager had changed his mind and refused to sell the hotels to the Yu family. He also said that the Yu family was kicking them when they were down and that they could make Tangxin successful on their own, so they didn't need to do anything like the Sweety-candy chain hotels.
Yu Jingchen listened to the person in charge's words with a gloomy expression, sneered, and said directly: "Then you should contact the media and spread the news about Tang Xin's plagiarism again. Oh right, I remember someone had a problem eating Tang Xin's pastries before?"
The person in charge paused for a moment, "It seems that it was later clarified that he was unwell, and the problem wasn't with Tangxin Pastries. Although Tangxin isn't as popular as our desserts, the kitchen has always been very strict, the hygiene is excellent, and the ingredients are all very fresh, so this shouldn't be a problem..."
"I don't care how they made the pastries. I only care about the reaction you create online after bringing this up again," Yu Jingchen said calmly. "You just need to post the news that the person had problems after eating Tang Xin's cake online. People will naturally amplify and hype it up. As for the truth, nobody really cares. Understand?"
"I understand, I understand—"
"If you understand, then do it right away!"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Yu."
After the phone call ended, Yu Jingchen returned to Yu Shishu's ward. Yu's mother, Duan Meiyuan, was still taking care of Yu Shishu. While taking care of him, she said, "Shishu, the hospital said that you are a little weak and have some symptoms of anemia. You can't stay up all night for long periods of time, and you can't eat regular meals on time. Otherwise, your anemia will get worse and worse."
Yu Shishu's health was already weaker than others, especially after what happened when he was a child. Although Yu Shishu returned, he often had trouble sleeping and nightmares at night. Duan Meiyuan was paranoid, especially after hearing that Yu Shishu had almost died. She was so frightened that she almost fainted at home. Fortunately, it was finally confirmed that Yu Shishu was alright. So, Yu Shishu's long period of recuperation in the hospital was not only Yu Jingchen's idea, but also Duan Meiyuan's idea.
Duan Meiyuan continued with a headache, "Stop thinking about your TV dramas all day long. Our Yu family doesn't need you to earn that money. You can treat it as a hobby and do it occasionally. If you really ruin your health by filming those TV dramas, your mother will be heartbroken. If you need money, just ask your brother. Why do you have to make yourself suffer?"
Yu Shishu pursed his lips and didn't speak. He sat on the hospital bed, his face not looking good, and he looked a little weak. He let Duan Meiyuan scold him. He knew that something had happened at the party and that Duan Meiyuan was frightened. Not only Duan Meiyuan, but even Yu Jingchen, who was a workaholic, put down his work and spent most of his time around Yu Shishu.
When Yu Jingchen came in and heard Duan Meiyuan nagging about this matter again, his temples throbbed. He frowned and said, "Mom, filming is something Shi Shu likes to do. The reason he got into trouble this time wasn't because of the crew, but mainly because of me. I shouldn't have let Shi Shu participate in activities he doesn't like. From now on, let Shi Shu do what he likes. Please don't always interfere with him."
"What do you mean 'let him do what he likes'? He has to take care of his health and do the right thing. Can't I even help him? My son almost got into an accident. When you two had an accident when you were young, I almost went with you because of it. Now that you two have finally grown up, what's the point of living if something happens to either of you?" Tears streamed down her face as she spoke.
Yu Shishu could also see that Duan Meiyuan was frightened by this incident, so he immediately whispered to comfort her, "Mom, I'm sorry. I will take better care of my health in the future and won't let myself have any more problems."
He looked pitiful in his hospital gown, looking weak. He already had a youthful face, with slightly moist doe eyes, bright black pupils, and a clear, bright gaze. This made Duan Meiyuan unable to say anything harsh to her son, and she could only sigh heavily.
When Yu Shishu was hospitalized, many of the people who came to visit him were from the film crew. Duan Meiyuan didn't like people in the entertainment industry, and she rarely gave them a friendly look when she was around. Those who came when Duan Meiyuan wasn't around would at least greet her politely, but whenever a young girl came when Duan Meiyuan was around, she would basically interrogate her harshly. She was clearly worried that Yu Shishu's soul would be bewitched by these women in the entertainment industry. In Duan Meiyuan's eyes, every girl in the entertainment industry was a seductive vixen.
Around 6 p.m., Duan Meiyuan asked the kitchen to make soup for Yu Shishu to nourish his body. Ye Yingying also came to visit Yu Shishu, who was still in the hospital, at the request of her agent.
The rest of the crew were lucky; they arrived the day before, when Duan Meiyuan wasn't there, and Yu Jingchen was very polite and courteous. However, because Ye Yingying had to attend class when the crew arrived yesterday, only Ye Yingying wasn't there.
With the director in the hospital, how could the important actors from the film crew not come to visit him?
After repeated urging from her agency, Ye Yingying finally confirmed with her agent that she would bring fruit to visit him after school this afternoon. It was on this occasion that her bad luck began. Unlike the lucky film crew yesterday, Ye Yingying ran into Duan Meiyuan, Yu Shishu's mother, who had been spending the whole day with her son.
