Chapter 1318: Fortunately, I Discovered It Early, There Is Still Time to Change

The story is a patriotic film.

It is also the type of movie boys like: action films, gunfight films.

The story is set against the backdrop of evacuating overseas Chinese and protecting the interests of Chinese expatriates.

Off the coast of Somalia, a Chinese merchant ship is hijacked, and the entire crew is taken prisoner; the Jiaolong Commando responds calmly, sneaks onto the merchant ship to launch a surprise attack, and successfully rescues all the hostages.

The plot is full of ups and downs and constant excitement, and the coordination between the team members is perfectly in sync, but none of that is the most important part.

The most important thing, and what Shi Youxuan wants Zirui to see most, is the unity and trust between the team members!

This kind of trust means entrusting one's life to one's comrades-in-arms.

It means not hesitating to sacrifice one's own young and precious life for a comrade.

The movie ends, leaving one sighing with emotion.

Many people are moved to tears, and even the distracted Shi Youxuan is moved.

Looking at Sheng Zirui again, there is no expression on his face.

The mother and son walk out of the screening hall, and before the mother can ask, Zirui takes the initiative to say: "Mom, how many words do I need to write for the reflection paper when I get back?"

Shi Youxuan is speechless.

Before his mother can answer, he continues on his own: "I think five hundred words is enough; of course, if you think it's not enough, I can also write eight hundred."

"The first hundred words to introduce the movie's content, then three hundred words to write about my reflections, then another hundred words to write about the significance of Mom taking me to see this movie; if you aren't satisfied, I can write three hundred words on my future plans at the end. Do you think that's okay?"

Shi Youxuan:...

She feels like she is about to be driven crazy by Sheng Zirui.

What kind of child is this?

His logic is so rigorous it makes people want to collapse.

But Shi Youxuan is not Shi Youxuan for nothing; she will not admit defeat easily. Although she is collapsing on the inside, she nods calmly on the surface: "Not bad, you've considered it very comprehensively. I think let's do this: you write a two-thousand-word reflection paper."

"Two thousand words?"

Zichen stands in the wind, feeling messy.

Did he show off too much just now?

"Mom, two thousand words isn't necessary, right? I can't write that much." Zirui says with a mournful face, looking distressed.

"You can do it, you can write it, keep it up!"

In a short time, Shi Youxuan has already adjusted; no matter how strong the little guy's logic is, he shouldn't think about fighting her!

Zirui is very smart, but he is still too young. Using the things he has learned in a few years to fight his mother?

Still a bit too green.

Ginger is still spicier when it's old!

Just increasing the word count is not the ultimate move.

On the way home, Shi Youxuan continues to attack Zirui's psychological defenses.

"Oh, I originally thought that after we finished the movie, we could go to the amusement park and have a good time, playing on all the rides to our heart's content, but I didn't expect you to have to write a reflection paper. Go back and write it; we'll go to the amusement park another day."

Amusement parks are attractive to all children, all of them!

Zirui blinks his big eyes twice, carefully observing his mother's facial expression, as if to see if what she is saying is true or false?

It is true.

His mother is very serious; it doesn't look like she is lying.

Sheng Zirui begins to regret it, regretting why he mentioned a reflection paper just now.

"Mom, since you've already made a plan, don't change it. Let's go to the amusement park now."

Shi Youxuan smiles: "That wouldn't be very good, would it? Changing your plan for the sake of mine, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"It's appropriate, very appropriate. You are Mom, you are my elder, of course I have to listen to you. You have the final say!"

Shi Youxuan chuckles to herself.

Such words are very familiar, but they sound normal when coming from Zihan; these are Zihan's lines, and now they sound strange coming from the serious Zirui.

"How about... we go to the amusement park?" Shi Youxuan says.

"Okay, okay, let's go to the amusement park."

Zirui is a child after all; he hasn't fully mastered the art of not showing his emotions. He smiles very happily, and it looks very nice.

Once they arrive at the amusement park, Zirui realizes.

This kind of place is more suitable for group activities!

It's no fun with just the mother and son.

For example, the Roller Coaster; if his brothers were all here, it would be fun for everyone to scream together, but now his mother is by his side.

His mother screams in fear, and he feels a bit embarrassed to scream himself.

Zirui grabs his mother's hand and tells her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you."

After riding the Roller Coaster, Shi Youxuan doesn't want to play any more similar thrilling games.

Fortunately, what is gratifying is that Zirui doesn't make his mother continue to accompany him just for his own sake.

"Mom, you're not feeling well, let's go back."

"No need, you go play by yourself, I'll watch you from below."

"Okay."

Zirui plays by himself, feeling listless.

Not long after, he suggests going back again: "Mom, let's go home, I'm not playing anymore."

"Why is that?"

"It's no fun. Amusement parks need an atmosphere; it's fun when there are many people, it's no fun alone."

"Oh—"

Shi Youxuan drew out the sound: "Playing alone is no fun... Actually, it's not just about playing; many things require many people to accomplish. One person cannot do great things."

"Mm."

Zirui agreed, but didn't think much of it.

After leaving the amusement park, his mother did not take him straight home.

Instead, she went to the company.

The Chairman's Wife wouldn't come to the company once in eight hundred years, yet now she was here, and she had brought Young Master Zirui with her.

Everyone in the company, from top to bottom, was nervous, not knowing what kind of plan the Chairman's Wife had!

The President and Vice President accompanied the mother and son as they toured the company.

Shi Ran was puzzled and asked her mother: "Mom, what has gotten into you today that you've suddenly come to the company?"

Shi Youxuan did not answer her daughter's question, but instead changed the subject and asked: "Ranran, how many people does our group company have in total?"

Shi Ran was puzzled.

Why ask this all of a sudden for no reason?

Besides, this is such a simple matter that Mother knows it; there's no need to ask.

Although she was confused, she believed that her mother must have a reason for doing so, so she asked: "Are you asking about the total, or just the domestic employees?"

"Total."

"Oh, okay."

"Dingsheng Group has subsidiaries in thirty-four countries at home and abroad, with a total of one million employees, and the headquarters staff totals..."

Shi Youxuan asked Zirui: "Did you understand?"

"I understood, our family's company has so many people."

After touring the company, Shi Youxuan took Zirui home this time.

Along the way, Zirui was lost in thought, and Shi Youxuan didn't say much either.

After arriving home, Shi Youxuan said to her son: "Go write your movie review, two thousand words. Bring it to me when you're finished; I'll wait for you here."

Zirui returned to his room to write the "review."

He wrote quite quickly; in less than an hour, the two thousand words were finished.

When he delivered it to the living room, he found a steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup on the coffee table.

His mother smiled very kindly: "Eat, you didn't eat lunch, you must be hungry."

He was indeed hungry.

His mother hadn't mentioned eating at noon, and he hadn't felt comfortable saying he was hungry.

This was where Zirui was different from his other brothers; if the others were hungry, they would definitely say so, including Litian.

But Zirui didn't say anything; he was more composed than a normal child.

"Thank you, Mom."

He thought it was made by the cook, so he picked up the noodles and took a big bite, but after only one bite, he realized the taste was wrong!
