Shu Baiqi was put on the blacklist, and Shu Baizhu's call came in again soon.
Ziyi thought for a moment and clicked to answer the call.
"Xiaozi, do you have time?" Shu Baizhu went straight to the point.
"Yes, tell me." Ziyi was originally just slacking off and enjoying the show, so naturally she had time.
"Have you seen the news? It's about my brother." Shu Baizhu seemed a little hesitant on the other end of the phone, and one could hear some hesitation in his words.
"I saw it," Ziyi stood up to refill her tea. When she sat back down, she looked quite businesslike and cold. "You might not understand, but his company doesn't spend much on R&D each year."
Normally, for those who want to delve into formulas, research and development is the most expensive thing. However, the bulk of Shu Baiqi's company's annual expenses are spent on eating, drinking, socializing, and some gray expenses based on connections. He has figured out everything about the company.
"I understand now, Xiaozi, thank you for reminding me last time." Shu Baizhu thanked him sincerely, "If someone from my family calls you next time, please don't answer, okay?"
"I've already blocked him," Ziyi didn't mince words on this matter. "Shu Baizhu, in his situation, the only options are compensation, forgiveness, and reconciliation. The company's collapse might not be a bad thing. If you keep controlling him like this, he'll only drag you down."
Shu Baizhu didn't speak for a long time.
"Xiaozi, you've seen how they took care of me in the past, they..."
"I know they treated you well in the past, and you always wanted to help them whenever you could, but people change. You helped Shu Baiqi fill a vacancy in the company and kept this a secret. Someone else will be disgraced because of him in the future. Do you feel comfortable with that?"
Ziyi sighed slightly, "Repaying a family's affection doesn't require sending yourself into the abyss. Besides, if he truly treated you as a family member, he would also consider your future. He wants to drag you onto his boat, but has he considered you?"
Especially since Shu Baizhu still lives under the spotlight, any negative information about him will be magnified countless times.
Shu Baizhu is not as ruthless as Ziyi, nor is he like Ziyi, who can use the money and resources in his hands to guard against Shu Baiqi and bully others. All Shu Baizhu can do is squeeze himself to clean up the mess for Shu Baiqi.
What about those who spent money but ended up with a shattered face? Do they deserve to have their face ruined by Shu Baiqi?
"His fangs are broken. If you want to repay him for taking care of you when you were little, you can pay him to become a wealthy and idle person instead of helping him replace those fangs. Of course, I'm just giving you a suggestion, so you can ignore what I said."
Ziyi couldn't help but slap her own mouth. She felt a little over the line after saying these words, but she would not feel happy if she didn't say them out loud.
I've been annoyed with Shu Baiqi for too long, and it's a good thing she didn't step on me.
"No, I thank you for telling me this, Xiaozi." Shu Baizhu stood up and looked into the distance, his eyes a little empty, wondering what he was thinking. "You never told me this in the past."
The past gestures...
"You've changed a lot, Xiaozi." It might also be that Shu Baizhu had never really known Ziyi.
"It's not that I've changed. I didn't tell you before because I didn't want to embarrass you." Ziyi was quite direct. "Do I have to run to you every day and tell you that your brother asked me for money again, and your parents and Shu Baizhen charged my bill for their shopping? Shu Baizhu, I liked you before, and I wanted to exchange my sincerity for yours, not use your family to coerce you."
It was her problem that she didn't get true love in return. Love cannot be forced, and she doesn't blame anyone.
But since she has already decided that she doesn't like him, there is naturally no need to hide those words anymore. On the matter of the Shu family, she turned around and left, and the barrier in front of Shu Baizhu naturally disappeared. Shu Baizhu needs to be more sober so as not to be swallowed up by his family.
Just because they can't be together doesn't mean that Ziyi doesn't wish Shu Baizhu well. She hopes that Shu Baizhu will have a smooth and happy future.
"if……"
Shu Baizhu suddenly muttered something in a low voice. Because the tone was too soft, Ziyi couldn't hear it clearly, so she asked, "What if?"
"It's nothing, Xiaozi. Thank you anyway. I will seriously consider what you said." Shu Baizhu took a deep breath and thanked him again, "Thank you, and I'm sorry, Xiaozi."
Without waiting for Ziyi to ask what she was sorry for, Shu Baizhu hung up the phone in a hurry. For a moment, she suddenly wanted to cry.
Ziyi said: I like you and want to exchange my sincerity for another's, not use your family to coerce you.
Looking back now, Ziyi had always been sensible in her interactions, never making anyone feel uncomfortable. When Ziyi was still around, the storms at home seemed to be slanting winds and drizzles falling on her.
As long as she didn't think too much about it, her home was exactly what she wanted and longed for, with loving parents and harmonious brothers, just like when she was a child.
But how can one live his whole life without thinking about it?
Shu Baizhu looked at her phone, which had been vibrating repeatedly since she hung up, and finally sighed.
She wanted time to stop at the most beautiful coordinates of the past, and she tried her best to make everyone remain unchanged. As it turned out, not only her family, but even she herself had changed.
At least she was beginning to feel bored with her home.
Ziyi was right. Shu Baiqi would not feel guilty about aiding and abetting the evil, but she couldn't do it.
No innocent person should have to bear the consequences for her selfish thoughts.

After the meeting, Ziyi asked someone to keep an eye on Wang Haochen's supermarket at all times. If the supermarket was not doing well and Wang Haochen wanted to sell it off, they would go and contact him to find out the lowest price.
"Yiyi, I see you've been interested in these smart small appliances lately?" Zhao Fengzhuo's call came in after Ziyi's meeting.
"I want to create my own brand, Dad. Don't worry about it. I'll do it myself." Ziyi thought to herself that her father was really observant, which meant that they were on the same page. Otherwise, she would have to spend time to get Lao Zhao to tell her what she was thinking. Otherwise, if she had any ideas, Zhao Fengzhuo would know them the next second as soon as she brought them up.
The surprise is gone.
"Okay, if you need money or a store, tell Dad. We have over 500 large shopping malls for you to choose from." Zhao Fengzhuo had no intention of stopping him. "The prime location on the first floor, all the showrooms, are reserved for Yiyi."
Ziyi: ...
"Dad, that's my mall too. I'm going to use what I know how to mix. You can just go about your business. Oh, I'm taking two days off."
Since Zhao Fengzhuo had called, Ziyi naturally didn't hide her feelings anymore and complained frantically, "I've been working non-stop for almost half a month."
"Going to the film city again?" Zhao Fengzhuo chuckled. "Speaking of which, what do you think about Xiao Shu's family?"
"Not really. Oh, if Uncle Shu and the others contact you and Mom, don't bother. Just say you're retired now and listen to me."
