Chapter 1702: Who to Send to L Country
Sheng Family.
Nianyin came out of her mother's house and went to find her elder sister.
Wang Yong had brought back quite a lot of things for their family, which she had to deliver; additionally, he brought a piece of news: Black Widow is working for Qi Shishi!
Nianyin looked at Shi Yuan with displeasure and said, "Hmph! She is out there being carefree and imposing, yet her little brat is being raised by elder sister. It's too unfair. Elder sister, don't pay him any mind; just throw this little brat onto the street and let him fend for himself..."
Shi Youxuan stroked her forehead, feeling a headache.
Nianyin was becoming more and more like her aunt used to be; her aunt had finally changed her personality after experiencing hardships, yet Nianyin had become a second Ji Yingjie.
Shi Yuan was scolded and trembled with fear, not daring to make a sound.
This child had been timid since he was small. Shi Youxuan told him to go back to his room, and she said to Nianyin, "Don't scare the child. You couldn't outmaneuver his mommy in L Country, yet back home you're showing off your prowess against a child only a few years old. Look at how pathetic you are."
Wang Yong had sent back everything that happened in L Country, and she knew it all.
Nianyin's face flushed red as she argued, "Who says I couldn't outmaneuver her? I just didn't care to lower myself to her level, hmph!"
"Fine, fine, fine, you're amazing, is that enough? You can't just care about being amazing yourself; you also need to plan more for the family and think about your husband and son..."
She was doing it all for Nianyin's own good, but Nianyin couldn't take such words to heart and made an excuse that she had things to do, then took her leave.
Wang Yong had sent many things this time, among which a few cartons of cigarettes caught Shi Youxuan's attention.
She said to her husband, "You don't even smoke, why did he send you cigarettes?"
Sheng Hanyu carried the bag containing the cigarettes, gave his wife a look, and then the two of them went to the Study.
After opening the packaging, inside were documents.
They were all materials collected by Wang Yong regarding the current situation in L Country and the national economy and people's livelihood.
There was even more regarding what Qi Shishi had done since returning to the country.
Wang Yong was rough but attentive; while he appeared to be a reckless man of the world, the materials he collected were all very valuable. Sheng Hanyu could determine the greatest commercial value from these materials in the shortest amount of time!
The most primitive methods are often the safest.
The couple focused intently on reading these materials. After finishing them, Sheng Hanyu said to his wife, "Qi Shishi is in urgent need of a batch of supplies recently, but they have no money. She wants a loan but is too embarrassed to ask me. I want to send a representative there to discuss this matter with her."
Shi Youxuan said, "So, you have decided to place a bet, is that it?"
Although both sides had reached a preliminary agreement for cooperation, there is a big difference between one type of cooperation and another.
The agreement was for shallow cooperation. If Qi Shishi didn't become president, or if she wasn't trustworthy, everything could be handled according to the contract—strictly by the book—and no one could pick out any faults.
Even if it went wrong, the Sheng Family would suffer losses, but it wouldn't be enough to hurt their vitality or shake their foundation!
Yet the materials Wang Yong sent made Sheng Hanyu decide to take the initiative to help her.
Wealth and honor are sought amidst danger.
There is no such thing as a hundred-percent safe matter; once there is certainty, one must act immediately.
He had decided, but Shi Youxuan was still somewhat hesitant. She said, "Have you forgotten about those years? Back then, we also spared no effort for their parents, and in the end, not only did we come up empty-handed, but we also nearly dragged the entire family into it."
"Our family doesn't need to take this risk now. The children are all grown up, and they should have their own things to do. It's useless for parents to leave them too much money."
How could Sheng Hanyu not know this logic?
He indicated that he wasn't doing this for their own children; he wanted to do something for the common people.
It was still for the sake of the common people of L Country.
L Country had suffered years of war, and the common people had been living in dire misery. Making money was one aspect, but let it be considered an act of accumulating virtue and doing good.
When a person has a cup of water, they only need to drink it themselves; there is no need to consider others.
But when one has a river, one must take it out and share it with everyone!
Shi Youxuan admitted that what her husband said made a lot of sense; she had indeed been narrow-minded and lacked vision.
"Fine, I won't interfere with what you want to do, but don't drag the entire Clan into it."
"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
Just after saying he had a sense of proportion, he did something very lacking in proportion.
Someone was needed to act as a representative to go to L Country and talk to Qi Shishi about this matter. Their family were business people, not simple philanthropists.
Good deeds must be done, but there must be a bottom line.
This person was very important; it had to be someone who could be absolutely trusted!
Sheng Hanyu said to his wife, "I want to let Zihan go and gain some experience. What do you think?"
Shi Youxuan:...
She didn't think much of it.
"Can Zihan handle it? He only likes to play, and it's not his relevant field of expertise..."
Shi Youxuan didn't have much trust in their younger son Zihan. Of course, the most suitable candidate was Sheng Zirui, but he was also the most unsuitable candidate, so Shi Youxuan didn't mention Zirui's name.
Sheng Hanyu said, "Zihan should be able to do it."
He told his wife about Zihan's performance at the company and expressed that he wanted to train Zihan.
Although the position of Chairman would be held by Zirui in the future, such a large enterprise couldn't be supported by him alone; he would need help.
"Fine, then let him go."
The couple reached a consensus, but Zihan did not agree.
He shook his head like a rattle-drum and firmly opposed it: "No, no, I can't. I can't go to that place; I'm allergic to L Country."
"Don't even talk about going; now, as long as I think of that place, my legs tremble with nervousness, and they go so soft I can't stand up."
He wasn't just saying it; as he spoke, he couldn't stand, collapsing onto the sofa, his handsome face deathly pale.
This pathetic appearance of his made Sheng Hanyu very unhappy.
"Pathetic, such a small thing scares you like this?"
When Zihan went to the Island to save Wang Qing, it could be said his luck was off the charts.
He had perfectly avoided all dangerous places without a single fright, yet he was still scared like this; Sheng Hanyu looked down on him greatly.
"Can you, as a boy, act a little more like a boy?"
Zihan looked blank and said innocently, "I am very boyish. Dad, you don't know, but at our school, many idol trainees wear lipstick, put on makeup, and draw their eyebrows. I don't follow the idol route, so I don't need to do any of that. Am I still not boyish enough?"
Sheng Hanyu was speechless.
It seemed that the father and son had a very wide gap in their standard definitions of a boy.
Back then, he had disagreed with Zihan going to the Film Academy and wanted him to repeat a year to apply to Jiang University.
His wife persuaded him that since the children were grown, they should live according to their own ideas, so he compromised; but what kind of ideas did the child have now?
Boys wearing makeup in their daily lives?
He had never even heard of such a thing.
He was just about to continue along that line of conversation when he suddenly realized something was wrong; if he followed his words, he would be falling into a trap. The issue they were supposed to be discussing now was not whether boys should wear makeup, but whether or not to go to Country L!
"You are going, that's settled. When you go, I will find you some bodyguards with good skills who can absolutely guarantee your safety."
Sheng Hanyu waved his hand, and the matter was decided just like that.
