Chapter 854: 848. Building Confidence (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

For so many years, Liuba had always been completely at the mercy of Liu Ma's tactics, because you simply never knew when she was crying for real and when she was faking it.

The key was that once she cried, your heart would soften; who could do anything about that?

That is why it is said that Liu Ming and his father were completely at the mercy of Liu Ma.

"Mom, sit down. My work this time might be quite far away, so the number of times I come back in the future will be much fewer." Liu Ming asked his mother to sit.

However, just after saying this, he saw tears swirling in his mother's eyes again, and he immediately felt an immense headache.

"Mom, can you let me finish speaking first?" Liu Ming sighed and said.

Liu Ma's tears vanished instantly, leaving no trace at all. "Mm, go ahead."

Liu Ming was truly impressed by his mother; he could only say: "This time, I am going to the South Africa Development Bank to serve as the Investment Department Manager.

You listen to me, this position is no ordinary position; if you really count it up, this can be considered high-level management at the bank, and it holds real power.

Plus, I am also the representative with real power for the shareholders over there, which means I basically represent the shareholders.

Furthermore, I can rely on this to build countless connections, and by then, I expect to be able to speak directly with some of the major leaders of the Sida Hang in the country."

Actually, as Liu Ming kept talking, he was shocked himself.

Previously, Zhang Sicheng had also spoken to him about the matter, explaining the specific situation in great detail and even giving him a copy of the documents.

But Liu Ming's mind had not been on this before; although it had all reached his ears, he hadn't taken it to heart.

Now, as he spoke and thought about it, he felt somewhat shocked in his heart!

But at the same time, Liu Ming didn't have any other feelings, because Zhang Ran had already agreed to let him pursue Zhang Siyan.

So even if the Zhang Family became even more prosperous, it would not become an obstacle to his pursuit of Zhang Siyan.

Liu Ma was not someone who didn't understand things; she was a top student herself and also a director at an international accounting firm.

Naturally, she knew the situation involved.

Upon hearing this, she was first shocked, then asked suspiciously: "You're lying to me, aren't you?"

"I'm not lying to you. Could I just lie about something like this? What benefit would that have for me?" Liu Ming also knew his mother's thoughts.

"Then tell me how you succeeded in the application. Don't lie to me; our family doesn't have the ability to help you get this position.

Also, although you are my son, I know you are very smart and capable, but honestly, in terms of ability, you are still a bit lacking for a position like this," Liu Ma said seriously.

Just because Liu Ma liked to cry didn't mean her personality was weak; on the contrary, Liu Ma's personality was very lively.

Although she was over fifty, using the word "lively" might be inappropriate, but that was just how she was.

Crying was just a habit of hers, a way of communicating between family members, even if it was a bit bizarre.

But when it came to serious matters, Liu Ma was still quite earnest and grave.

Liu Ming originally didn't want to reveal the truth, but now, if he just made something up, he probably couldn't fool his mother, so he had to tell the truth.

"It's like this: this is a position that Siyan's dad, Zhang Shu, got for me. Zhang Shu is also a shareholder of the South Africa Development Bank and recently obtained an Investment Department Manager position," Liu Ming said honestly, though he only gave a simple explanation.

But who was Liu Ma?

And she was someone who understood her own son.

If it really came down to it, she actually liked Zhang Siyan too, but because her son had been pining for Zhang Siyan for so many years without any result,

and it had also delayed her own son, there was actually a sense of resentment in her heart.

Of course, Liu Ma also knew that such resentment was actually wrong and shouldn't be blamed on Zhang Siyan.

Because Zhang Siyan had long ago made her attitude clear and had even been married before, so there was no intention of intentionally dragging Liu Ming along.

These were all the results of her son Liu Ming's wishful thinking.

But as a mother, in these matters, she would definitely be biased toward her own son.

Just like Zhang Ran, as Zhang Siyan's father, wasn't he also unconditionally biased regarding his daughter's marriage?

In order to give his daughter one more choice, he made such a decision.

It could be said that Zhang Ran used the South Africa Development Bank's Investment Department Manager position to lock Liu Ming in for at least five or six years.

During these five or six years, no matter what Liu Ming's thoughts were, he wouldn't be dating; he could only wait bitterly for Zhang Siyan.

Although for Liu Ming himself, this was something he was happy to endure, in reality, this was a form of kidnapping.

So, regarding the resentment in Liu Ma's heart, no one could say anything against it.

At this moment, Liu Ma's expression was not very good as she looked at her son: "Have you still not forgotten Siyan?"

"No, in this life, I only want to marry Siyan; I truly love her," Liu Ming said, looking straight into his mother's eyes.

In the past, he always avoided talking about these questions, but now, he had to show his cards to his family.

"Mom, I know this isn't good, but I just love Siyan; I just want to be with her.

I'm not coveting the Zhang Family's wealth; I just love her."

Liu Ma looked at her son, her lips moving, and after a long while, she simply sighed; this time, she didn't cry.

In fact, Liu Ma would only use crying to win in small matters; once it involved major issues, she wouldn't be unreasonable.

"I know your feelings, but Siyan is already..."

"I know, but I don't care. Mom, do you care? Tell me the truth, do you like Susu? If Susu were to be your granddaughter, would you mistreat her?" Liu Ming suddenly said with a grin.

Liu Ma was silent for a moment. She had met Susu, and thinking of that well-behaved, pitiful child, her heart softened.

"Do I dare? With her grandfather's explosive temper, if I dared to treat Susu badly, he could probably break my legs right then and there," Liu Ma didn't answer directly, but said with annoyance.

She worked at an international accounting firm and knew a lot of news; plus, their family actually had a good relationship with Zhang Sicheng and the others, so she would naturally inquire about it.

"Now the question is whether they can even look at you. In their eyes, you are currently nothing; they are a family of the richest people," Liu Ma said.

Actually, she still hoped her son could marry an ordinary woman and then live an ordinary life; that would be enough.

But she also understood that her son was already trapped deep within it and couldn't pull himself out.

"Haha, Mom, don't worry about that. I have already conquered Zhang Shu; Zhang Shu won't stop me from pursuing Siyan, he will even approve. Your son is awesome, right!" Liu Ming started bragging.

There was no help for it; he also had to build confidence for his mother, and at the same time, build confidence for himself.
