Mr. Pei felt very gratified by what Ling Xue said. “I knew you were our daughter the moment we met. Even if you’ve been wronged, you still worry about whether the company’s interests will be affected.”
Mrs. Pei said proudly, “Of course. Ling Xue is the kindest and best daughter in the world. We may not have been there for her for the past few years, but in the future, we will double the compensation of our love.”
Ling Xue had always been an obedient girl in front of the two of them, so she immediately said something nice in front of the two of them to show her thanks.
When Pei Yu rushed to the ward, what she saw was a happy family of three.
He placed the lunchbox on the table and smiled. “Hey, you must be hungry. This is the takeaway 1 specially prepared for you. Come and have some.”
Mr. Pei nodded. “At least you have a conscience. 1 heard that you’ve been busy with the company for the past two days. How’s it going?”
Pei Yu looked a little sad when he mentioned the company’s progress. “We’ve already found the technical staff, but we might need more money. The money that Lu Li and 1 have can only support the first trial.”
Mr. Pei’s heart skipped a beat.
Mr. Pei’s expression became serious. He said to Pei Yu, “The Pei family has many projects going on at the same time. We don’t have much liquid capital. Other than the money I gave you, there’s no more money left for you to start a business. You and Lu Li have more than loo million dollars in total. If the first phase of the project is just a waste of money and you don’t see any returns, then you’ll have to think of another way to start a business. Or you can find a few more friends. You and Lu Li have a lot of friends in the industry. Pitch to them about your business plan. Even if each of them offers io million, it’ll be enough to float.”
Pei Yu smiled bitterly and said, “Don’t worry. I’m not here to ask you for money. The technical talents we recruited in the early stages didn’t use too much money. They’re still in university and know that it’s not easy to start a business. We just need to satisfy their daily needs. Most of the expenses are spent on marketing after the technology is successful. The key point is researching how to get our application recognized by the market.”
Hearing that Pei Yu was not here for money made Mr Pei’s shoulders drop in relief. He also gave a serious suggestion. “If there’s anything you don’t know about the market, you can ask the elders in the company. You’re my son. If you want to start a business, I’ll try my best to help you. Also, you can ask the finance department of the Pei Corporation to settle the accounts for you. That way, you can save on some expenses.”
“Don’t worry, Dad. We’re not that poor yet,” Pei Yu said helplessly.
Pei Yu could tell that if he continued to stay here, his father would think that he was looking for help in starting a business. After staying for a while longer, he got up and left.
After Pei Yu left, Mrs. Pei looked at Mr. Pei with some resentment. “What you said just now has hurt Pei Yu’s heart. It’s a good thing that he wants to start a business. Look at how petty you are as a father.”
Mr. Pei also explained, “This is a critical period for the Pei Corporation. Our company has developed a new project and invested a lot of money into it. You should know this too.”
Mrs. Pei did not say anything else.
“Ling Xue, when you recover, we will set a date for you to marry Lu Li.” Mrs. Pei looked at Ling Xue.
“The two of you have been seeing each other for a long while and come from similar families. After you get married, the cooperation between the two families will be bound. At that time, the business of both families will rise.”
Ling Xue nodded and smiled obediently. “I understand, Mom. I’ll listen to the doctor and recover well.”
Mr. Pei was very satisfied.
After her parents left, Ling Xue’s face was no longer as gentle as before.
She knew very well that her parents were protecting her because of the guilt they felt for her over the past ten years. Also, she had been very obedient ever since she returned to the Pei family.
In addition, she and Lu Li liked each other. With her around, the Pei Family and the Lu Family could get married, which was good for the family business.
This so-called soon-to-be family still valued benefits very much..
