Chapter 41 Ascension
downstairs.
Shi Yin chased him into the living room and grabbed her father's arm from behind. She could feel the man trembling from the contact, his blood pressure soaring with anger, and his face flushing red.
"Dad, your cold hasn't fully healed yet, don't be angry."
"Shi Qinghe! Well done!"
Dress modestly.
Pretend to be gentle.
In fact, he is cruel and ruthless.
At such a young age, he bullied his own sister, framed his own parents, and played them around! As Chairman Shi, he managed tens of thousands of employees and was the helmsman of a listed company. He had been in the business world for decades, and everyone in the circle had to politely call him "Director Shi" when they saw him. No one had ever dared to deceive him like this!
"Sister was angry, and she might have said those words in anger." Shi Yin patiently persuaded, "Maybe it was because you ordered her to be fired, which made her lose face in the company, and coupled with the public opinion on the Internet, sister-"
"If she hadn't hired someone else to write for her and hadn't plagiarized others' work, and someone had caught her doing it, would I have fired her? She couldn't handle the online backlash. Why didn't she think about this day when she was exploiting other designers?"
"I was worried she'd be having a bad day at home, so I left work early, bought her favorite crab noodles, and brought her mother home to comfort her. But I didn't expect her to act like a tyrant at home, throwing things around and smashing things without even showing any remorse!"
"Dad, my sister isn't—"
"Yinyin." Shi's father interrupted her, turning to look at the girl's porcelain-white face. The guilt in his heart grew stronger. "Don't speak for her anymore. I didn't want her to attend the Eight Great Families' dinner. It was only after you persuaded me that I applied for an invitation for her. The facts have proven that her character and moral integrity are not worthy of attending!"
"She actually warned the servants not to treat you well. When my mother and I were away from home for work, we were often away from home for ten days or half a month. Everyone bullied you, didn't they?"
Shi Yin pursed her lips.
The subtle movement of her lowering her head and curling her fingers silently confirmed the truth of what he said. Shi's father grew increasingly angry. "Yinyin, don't worry. Dad will give you an explanation. If the New Year project is successfully completed, the position of Design Director will be yours."
"Dad, isn't this a bad idea..."
"Yu Qing, this is what your parents owe you. You've suffered so much over the years. Yu Li, the second series of products you're responsible for has set a new company record in sales. Your ability is unquestionable, and the position of director belongs to you."
Shi Yin left Shi's house ten minutes later.
It was presented personally by the Shi couple.
Hold an umbrella for her.
He held her in his arms as he walked to the car, as if she was their most precious treasure. He was afraid that the cold wind would blow on her, and that the snow on a cold night would freeze her, so he had to take good care of her.
A Porsche Macan pulls off the boulevard.
Shi Yin drove the car and glanced at the rearview mirror again. The couple was still standing in the snow, watching her leave. This scene was extremely rare, the first time in her twenty-two years of life that it had ever occurred to her.
Others might be moved.
pity.
When she learned to walk at the age of two or three, she stood up by herself, holding onto the fence, taking clumsy steps, falling and crawling. She started elementary school at the age of six, carrying her small schoolbag on her back. She endured bullying and cold stares, experienced exclusion and oppression. Every time she fell, she endured the pain alone, staggered to her feet, dusted herself off, and continued walking forward.
No one helped her.
No backing.
Over the years, Shi Yin no longer needed this kind of unnecessary concern. She withdrew her gaze from the rearview mirror with an expressionless face, stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out of sight.
-
There are few cars on the streets on snowy nights.
There are fewer people on the road.
The Macan, with its hazard lights on, stopped under a streetlight. After about three to five minutes, the passenger door opened from the outside. Meng Xi entered the car, respectfully calling out, "Second Miss."
"Is there anyone back there?"
"Don't worry, Second Miss. I will never cause you any unnecessary trouble. Shi Qinghe is still throwing things around, and Mrs. Shi is furious. The whole Shi family is in chaos, and they don't have time to care about where a small character like me went or who I met."
"You are a smart person." Shi Yin praised her.
"Thanks to the Second Miss's help, I was able to be smart for once." Meng Xi said.
The car drove away from the street.
Traveling through the bustling metropolis covered in snow.
"Is uncle feeling better?"
"Dr. Lu, a master of oncology, is like a Hua Tuo in the flesh. After half a course of treatment, my father has improved a lot in all aspects. His complexion is rosy and he can play several games of chess without feeling tired."
"I had someone deposit some money into my uncle's hospital card this morning. He won't have to worry about medical expenses for the next three months."
"You paid off my dad's hospital bills last month, hired Dr. Lu, a great doctor I'll never meet in my lifetime, and hired the best nurse and nutritionist for my dad. And now you're sending me so much money. I, the Second Miss, really don't know how to thank you."
"You borrowed these from me."
Shi Yin was driving and glanced at her. Meeting her gentle eyes, Meng Xi clenched his hands and looked at her as if he was looking at the bright moon in the distant sky.
He is a benefactor.
He is also the only one who respects her.
The Second Miss believed that she would and would definitely become an excellent designer and have a place in the industry. Meng Xi stared at the person next to him for a long time before coming to his senses and saying, "On my way out, I heard Mr. Shi talking to the company's HR manager on the phone about promoting you to Director of the Design Department."
"I know."
"Mr. Shi seems to know his mistake, regrets it, and wants to make it up to you."
Shi Yin smiled. "He and Ms. Cheng (Shi's mother) will never think they're wrong. They're so angry tonight only because Shi Qinghe's true face has been exposed. They feel they've been schemed against and deceived. Their strong self-esteem and inviolable parental dignity have made them furious."
"I don't care whether they forgive Shi Qinghe or whether they will continue to favor Shi Qinghe in the future. I only care about achieving my goal tonight. I'm in power, and the design department is mine."
Meng Xi nodded.
Looking back at the driver, the light and shadow outside cast a shadow on Shi Yin's face, making her features appear bright and dim. She had a very friendly, well-behaved face, with round, bright almond-shaped eyes that were clear and harmless, like a gentle white rabbit. In reality, she was cunning and decisive, but her heart was cold and hard, and she was deeply defensive. She would not return a favor, and she showed no mercy to anyone who had bullied her.
Would anyone like such a person?
Or in other words.
Does Shi Yin still have the ability to love?
