Chapter 1001: Chapter 686: Dad, Are You Disgusted With Me? (2)
"You also think your cousin is very capable, so you should believe that this time, he can get transferred to Beijing based on his abilities."
"He is capable, but it’s normal for us to give him an extra layer of security, right?"
"So tell me, if in the end your cousin successfully gets transferred, did your ’insurance’ play any role?"
"..."
"No one can be certain, right? And if your cousin finds out about this, what would he think? It was originally something he could take pride in, and what would it become?"
"I..."
Su Xiaomeng hadn’t really thought that far.
"If your cousin was just an ordinary smart person, without any special personality, there’d be no harm even if I opened my mouth this once."
Yin Shixiu said earnestly,
"But your cousin is no ordinary smart person; he has his own principles and beliefs, right?"
"..."
"Even when he was put in a tough spot by Su Jianyi that year, he still upheld his duties diligently and then looked for opportunities himself, right?"
"...Yes."
"So that’s why I shouldn’t make the call for you; that’s actually helping him."
Su Xiaomeng looked steadily at Yin Shixiu, speechless.
"What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong? Why are you looking at me so resentfully?"
Su Xiaomeng turned her head, sulking, saying,
"I just didn’t think it through as thoroughly as you did. When you put it like that, I can’t wrap my head around it; doesn’t that make me an idiot?"
"It’s good that you understand."
Su Xiaomeng still had her head turned, her lips pouted, as if she were sulking, and muttered after a while,
"You’re really something..."
"Alright, it’s getting late. At this point, shouldn’t we also stop by the kindergarten to pick up Shuang’er and Huang’er?"
"Mom and Dad already went to get them."
Su Xiaomeng glanced at the time and said.
Getting up, she pushed Yin Shixiu out of the meeting room,
"Let’s head to Anhe Hospital first."
"Alright."
The two went back to the office, tidied up a bit, and then Su Xiaomeng grabbed her bag and went downstairs with Yin Shixiu, where the driver was waiting in the parking lot.
Yin Shixiu got in the car, and Su Xiaomeng sat beside him.
"If your cousin really does get transferred to Beijing, let me know."
"Huh? Why?"
"To meet your upright cousin."
"Pfft..."
Su Xiaomeng glanced sidelong at Yin Shixiu, "Why, have you gotten addicted to coming down to earth? Do you still want to meet my cousin?"
"That’s your relative; isn’t it normal to meet him? Do you think the Beijing officialdom is the same as a town in some district of Chengdu?"
"..."
Su Xiaomeng was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Yin Shixiu...
"If, after meeting your cousin, he truly is a decent person, we should definitely help him if we can."
"..."
Su Xiaomeng continued to look at Yin Shixiu, and Yin Shixiu held her hand,
"People say you’re heartless, but you actually care more than anyone. You made the request to me for your cousin, and it wasn’t a mistake... One should never forget their roots."
Su Xiaomeng tilted her head slightly, with a faint smile on her face.
He knew all too well what was going on in her heart, what kind of thoughts and intentions she had.
"What they say about someone achieving success and their whole family benefiting; that’s not good, but... If we don’t help our relatives when we should, that would be forgetting our roots."
"Someone achieving success... Are you saying that by marrying you I’ve achieved success?"
Su Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows, her eyes carrying a hint of fierce sharpness as she asked.
"Cough, cough... Not at all, not at all."
Yin Shixiu quickly waved his hand,
"Poor choice of words, poor choice of words."
"That’s more like it."
Su Xiaomeng muttered, looking out the window with pride.
The couple’s casual conversation reached the driver’s ears, making him chuckle even while driving.
Who would have thought that the exalted president of Yin Group and the stern female CEO, who wouldn’t budge in front of the media and public, are no different from an ordinary couple in private, bickering and teasing each other with sweetness.
Not quite...
Perhaps on this busy road, among ten ordinary couples walking hand in hand, not even two could match the sweetness of Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng.
The car went around Anhe Hospital, picked up the medicine, and then headed home.
As soon as they entered the house, they heard the children’s laughter inside.
Upon listening closely, it seemed Shuangshuang was teaching someone English... Seeing Ma Xingchang sitting in the living room, Su Xiaomeng had an answer.
It was clear that Ma Siyuan must have come.
"Mayor Ma? What brings you here today?"
Su Xiaomeng pushed Yin Shixiu inside, surprised.
Ma Xingchang stood up, greeted Yin Shixiu and his wife politely, just about to explain when Bai Sixian, carrying some fruit, volunteered,
