For the favor of Mr. Shen

"Mom, I will listen to you and go to school with you."

Tan Xiaoli almost rolled her eyes, how can this child not eat oil and salt.

In the past, she would have persuaded her for a while, but today she was put down by his attitude, and she was so angry that she hung up the phone directly.

Shi Yiqing put the phone on the table: "Mom is telling me about going to school in Dingzhou again."

Shen Mu nodded, expressing his understanding.

In the past two years, Tan Xiaoli has been perseveringly talking to Shi Yiqing about this matter. They have not communicated formally, and Shi Yiqing can't explain why, both of them are in an evasive mentality.

Maybe it's because no matter how you look at it, Shi Yiqing was the best choice in the past.

He is Tan Xiaoli's biological son, and Tan Xiaoli has the best educational resources there, and his stepfather is also a famous person in the art world, and they are very rich.

Even the half-brother liked him very much.

And Shen Mu is just an uncle who is not related by blood. They didn't even meet a few times before they lived together. It was only because of Shen Mu's soft-heartedness that they lived like this for ten years.

A full ten years.

Shen Mu lowered his head slightly, and put food into his mouth, but it tasted like chewing wax.

The recent business failure has hit his self-confidence. Although it will not reduce Shi Yiqing's quality of life, Tan Xiaoli's economic conditions make him feel inferior.

It would be great if he could also be rich and have resources to pave the way for Shi Yiqing.

"Ah Qing, there is a topic that you and your mother have been discussing, but we haven't discussed it. Have you decided which university you want to go to?" Shen Mu asked.

Holding the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, Shi Yiqing pursed his lips.

"Not ready yet."

He didn't tell the truth, Shen Mu knew it.

Shi Yiqing has won large and small awards in Yongnan City and the whole country over the years. Everyone thinks that he should at least enter the top ten art academies in the country. If it is going to Tan Xiaoli, it is not too much to go to the top.

But Shen Mu himself is in a mess now.

"Uncle Shen, you're only a sophomore in high school now, don't worry." Shi Yiqing said.

Shen Mu didn't speak, neither did Shi Yiqing, and it took a long time before they spoke.

He lowered his head without looking at Shen Mu, and said, "Uncle Shen, are we family?"

"Of course." Shen Mu gave him an affirmative answer.

Only then did Shi Yiqing raise his head and look at him: "Then can you tell me what happened to your business?"

Shen Mu was taken aback, wondering how he knew something had happened in the factory.

But he didn't want to hide it from Shi Yiqing all the time. Now there is a big problem with the cash flow. The money that he originally thought would be used to decorate the villa has been used to fill the gap, but it is far from enough.

"Ah Qing, it's actually not too serious."

As Shen Mu said, he unconsciously put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Before the National Day, a colleague before Wanzheng came to me and said that a batch of shock absorbers had been stuck in the customs for half a year, and they hadn't been able to come over. The way, there is also said that compensation can be made, but the shock absorber still needs to be used, and there are only a few companies in the country that can make that type of shock absorber, and I am one of them."

"I didn't want to accept it. This year's list is already full, but the colleague who came to me has helped me a lot before and is a relative of Grandpa Jiu. After a long time, I still accepted it. I also planned to expand next year. The scale, it’s okay to be in advance. But they haven’t come to pick up the goods when they are ready. They only found out a few days ago that the goods they got stuck in the customs have arrived, and they want to rely on our batch.”

Shi Yiqing frowned: "Didn't you sign the contract?"

Shen Mu smiled, and felt a lot more relaxed after saying it: "Of course I signed it, it's not that I don't want it, I just found various excuses not to accept the goods."

Shi Yiqing doesn't understand business, but he can feel helpless from Uncle Shen's tone.

"If you give me a little time, this batch of goods can also be sold to others. It's just that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone is clearing the accounts. I also have to settle the accounts for the customers I cooperate with. It's a bit difficult."

Shi Yiqing sighed, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the bowl again: "How much does it cost? Do we have enough money? The bank card my mother gave me seems to have 10 yuan."

"One hundred thousand?" Shen Mu was shocked.

Shi Yiqing couldn't figure out whether Uncle Shen thought it was too little or too much.

Shen Mu clasped his hands together: "Why did your mother give you so much money?"

Shi Yiqing scratched her head: "I don't know, she used to send money into it a lot before, but then she found out that I didn't spend it at all, so she stopped."

"She also sent me money before." Shen Mu said.

"How much did you give?"

"It used to be one or two thousand, but later it was ten or twenty thousand."

When Shi Yiqing was about to say that would be good, Shen Mu added: "I returned it to her."

"Why?!" Shi Yiqing asked.

"We...we have enough money." Shen Mu said.

But he didn't tell the truth, he didn't want Tan Xiaoli's money because he felt that if Tan Xiaoli took Tan Xiaoli's money, he wouldn't be able to say a word if Tan Xiaoli wanted to take Shi Yiqing away.

Shi Yiqing pursed her lips slightly, and asked Shen Mu: "Uncle Shen, how much do you need now?"

Shen Mu thought for a while, but still had to tell the truth to the child, because he wanted to sell the villa to the factory to tide over the difficulties: "About 300 million."

"so much?"

Shen Mu nodded.

Shi Yiqing never knew that Uncle Shen needed so much money to do business, and the factory didn't look very big.

Shen Mu looked at his inconceivable look, smiled and explained to him: "Many of our orders are from abroad, the equipment itself is very expensive, and the unit price is also expensive. Uncle Shen gave me some money in the first two days, Let me pay the wages of the workers first and let them have a good year."

It was the first time for Shi Yiqing to listen to Uncle Shen's business affairs so carefully. In the past, they would also chat about craftsmanship and product production.

The development of the industry, but doing business is not doing research and development in the workshop, which is much more complicated than Shi Yiqing thought.

Talking until eleven o'clock, both of them were a little tired, Shen Mu was washing dishes in the kitchen, and when Shi Yiqing was about to take a shower, he saw Shen Mu's cell phone on the coffee table rang.

He took a look: "Uncle Shen, call me."

"who is it?"

"Uncle Shen."

Shen Mu's hands were full of foam, so he said, "You pick it up."

Shi Yiqing thought it should be a business matter, so he quickly took it and went to the kitchen, turned on the speakerphone and put it next to Shen Mu's ear.

"Brother Shen, what's the matter so late?"

Uncle Shen on the other end was probably standing by the window, and there was the whistling sound of the wind, which added a sense of desolation and mystery to the phone call.

"It's about your factory. Wanzheng made such a huge bill. You can't afford to spend it with others. You have to find a way to fill this hole first. I have dinner with an old colleague tonight. He There is a European client who has cooperated with me for many years, and now he is going to change careers abroad, and I thought of you when I was looking for a new home for this client."

Shen Mu's eyes lit up when he heard that, if the other party ordered a batch of export goods, the deposit would be enough to relieve the urgent need.

"I just added two new machines in my factory."

Uncle Shen nodded after listening, and continued: "But the model is different, so the situation over there is now like this. If you want to make an order over there, it is almost equivalent to taking over his factory."

Shen Mu probably understood what he meant.

"But I don't have any funds in my hand now..."

"It's me, but this factory is out of town, you have to run around, and even stay there for a while."

Hearing these words, Shi Yiqing raised his head to look at Shen Mu, and met his astonished eyes.

Then Shen Mu's surprise and expectation just now were all gone, he stumbled and said to Uncle Shen: "If I want to go out of town, I may... have no choice."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and just as Shen Mu was about to explain why, Uncle Shen said: "Well, I also understand that the pressure of Ah Qing's college entrance examination is quite high, but I really don't recommend selling the house. Hurry to make a move..."

"Brother Shen!" Shen Mu interrupted Uncle Shen, and looked at Shi Yiqing in a panic.

Shi Yiqing's eyes were full of surprise, Uncle Shen actually wants to sell the house, has he reached this point?

Shen Mu dried his hands, took the phone from Shi Yiqing, turned and walked to the balcony, Shi Yiqing didn't follow, after a moment of silence, he turned on the faucet and continued to wash the dishes in the sink.

The sound of running water overwhelmed Shen Mu's voice on the phone. He silently and slowly washed the dishes until Shen Mu came back.

This is a great opportunity.

Shen Mu was also afraid that Shi Yiqing would be burdened by knowing these things, so he interrupted Brother Shen to avoid Shi Yiqing from talking on the phone.

He declined Brother Shen, but he knew in his heart that this was a good opportunity, at least better than selling the house.

"Uncle Shen." Shi Yiqing was lying on the side of the tea table drawing, and called to stop Shen Mu after he came out of the shower.

Shen Mu had a bath towel around his waist, his hair was still wet, and there were little drops of water hanging on his body, and it was still a bit cold when the air conditioner was blowing on his body.

He sat down on the sofa: "Huh?"

Shi Yiqing: "How much can you sell the house for?"

Shen Mu didn't expect that what he was going to ask was this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "A million or so."

It is much lower than the starting price. If you sell it, you will lose more than 20 yuan if you don’t do anything in the first half of the year.

"Let's not sell it." Shi Yiqing said.

Shen Mu smiled: "Anyway, you don't want to move in, you can buy it again when you have money after the turnover, and you will have a big house."

Shi Yiqing also sat on the sofa: "Uncle Shen, if you didn't have me, you would have accepted Uncle Shen's proposal."

Shen Mu was taken aback for a moment, neither saying yes nor no.

"Uncle Shen, don't sell the house, accept Uncle Shen's help."

Shen Mu suddenly had a sore nose, "Ah Qing, it's not because of this, even if I accept Uncle Shen's help, I still have to sell the house or get a loan, and the long-distance water can't quench my near-thirst."

"I'll help you borrow money, 300 million?"

"No, Ah Qing, just go to school well and don't bother your mother."

Shi Yiqing had almost made up his mind, he smiled: "I will study hard."

Shen Mu's straight shoulders slumped a little, "Ah Qing, I just want you to be happy."

"I'm very happy, the ten years I've lived with you are very, very happy," Shi Yiqing looked at Shen Mu with that look for the first time.

He often acts like a baby with Uncle Shen, clings to him, loses his temper, and they are very close.

But this look is more complicated than ever, his pupils are darker in color, and there is a sense of innocence when he stares at people.

Eyes like a puppy, but the eyes are very complicated, he can't understand it himself, but he still said: "I also hope that Uncle Shen is happy."

There has always been a window between Shi Yiqing and Shen Mu, which is well protected by the two of them, that is, Shi Yiqing will return to Tan Xiaoli one day.

Now Shi Yiqing pierced the window paper.

He sat at the desk in the bedroom and called Tan Xiaoli.

He said: "Mom, I will listen to you and go to school with you."

"Okay, you can figure out how happy your mother is."

"But can you do me a favor?"
