Family Harmony is Important

Su Yu slowly straightened up, trying to make his tone as serious as possible.

Without connections or background, relying solely on brute force and opportunism, it was quite difficult to make a living in 2000. After all, this society boils down to just two words.

Relationship.

Of course, even if you're very close to someone you've just met, they wouldn't willingly help you, but...

We can negotiate terms!

There is nothing in this world that cannot be accomplished if the conditions are high enough.

Then, Su Yu shared his thoughts.

Liu Yifei listened very attentively, paused for a moment, and then repeated the matter to Liu Xiaoli, adding that she wouldn't go to America if she didn't get help.

Su Yu twitched his lips after hearing this, thinking to himself that she really was just a child, but in the end, it really depended on Liu Xiaoli to make this happen.

"It's not really that complicated, it just requires you to submit a patent application for me."

"What patent?"

Su Yu wanted to say it directly, but he was conflicted about whether he should. Although he didn't want to be suspicious, he always felt that the other party would take his patent and run away.

"It's just a charger for mobile phones; there's nothing technical about it."

Liu Xiaoli wanted to ask more, but Liu Yifei grabbed her hand and said, "Don't ask anymore. It's already been declared a patent, why are you still asking?"

"How can I help him if I don't find out the details?"

"I don't care! You're just going to help the old man."

"..."

After listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, Su Yu twitched the corner of his mouth. "I'm glad you're willing to help me, but could you please not call me 'uncle'?"

Am I that old?

He raised an eyebrow at Liu Yifei, who was standing in the sunset.

The setting sun pierced through the fiery clouds on the horizon and fell upon Liu Yifei, enveloping her in a faint golden halo.

She stood there, chin raised, with a stubborn look on her face.

She gently raised her white, lotus-root-like arm, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and her eyes were full of liveliness.

After receiving Liu Xiaoli's affirmative answer, she bit her lip, raised her chin at Su Yu, and looked very smug.

Usually, when she's in this state, she's waiting for praise.

"Awesome..."

Su Yu secretly gave a thumbs up.

Liu Yifei's eyes sparkled with pleasure as she took a piece of chocolate from her pocket and handed it to Su Yu.

Su Yu stared at her for a long time and realized that she wasn't joking with him.

So you've agreed to help?

Why does it feel so absurd yet somehow reasonable?

Aren't you going to mention any conditions?

Could this be considered another form of clinging to a powerful figure's coattails...?

Su Yu possesses a soul far beyond his years, and most ordinary people are people he can see through at a glance, but he really didn't expect Liu Yifei's actions.

This is normal, after all, he had never met Liu Yifei before his rebirth, especially Liu Yifei at this age, so it's not surprising that he couldn't understand her.

It can only be said that Liu Xiaoli spoiled her too much.

They agreed to this without even asking any questions.

At 6:30 p.m., Liu Xiaoli made a phone call and then told Su Yu to prepare the materials so they could submit the application together next week.

After hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately came over, sat down in the chair, and looked at Su Yu expectantly.

Waiting for the melodramatic little story.

This is almost a daily routine.

However, this time, after listening to one story, Liu Yifei did not leave satisfied, but asked Su Yu to tell two more.

She also said she was going to America and that we wouldn't hear from her anymore.

You seem to be really into watching this drama unfold...

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, got up to go back and prepare the materials, while Liu Yifei stood there humming for a long time, her lips pouting.

Liu Xiaoli rubbed her little head and quickly took her away.

Liu Yifei could only obediently follow behind, remaining silent, before turning around and returning to her room.

"A child is a child."

"Tsk..."

"I haven't called home for a month, I want to ask what's going on."

Su Yu carefully put away the "Jiangyin Elderly Market Survey Report" he had compiled, picked up his phone, thought for a moment, and then made a serious phone call.

Today is Monday, a workday.

Ms. Wang Wei works at a meat processing plant, while Mr. Su Daqiang works for a state-owned enterprise; they are a dual-income family.

There's still a year and a half until Lao Su is laid off and starts his own business...

There's still a year and a half until my family goes bankrupt...

Su Yu called home directly. The landline was installed in March of this year, and the installation fee alone cost Old Su a month's salary.

Ms. Wang Wei was so angry that she scolded him for a long time, but Lao Su felt that this amount of money didn't matter, since he could make money and had subsidies from above.

"Hey! Son, are you short of money?"

Listening to the still energetic Old Su on the other end of the phone, Su Yu was silent for two seconds. "We're short one million for the business. Think of a way."

Su Daqiang was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly turned his head and said, "It's not our son, he's a fraudster."

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Daqiang was kicked away, and Ms. Wang Wei's voice came through.

"Son, are you short of money? How much? Your dad and I will figure something out."

"Didn't you go to the film set to shoot a movie?"

"When will a big star come out of our family...?"

Su Daqiang curled his lip, "That's great! From now on, I'll just sell him autographed photos!"

Ms. Wang Wei rolled her eyes. "You're everywhere. I'm on the phone with my son. Get out of my way."

"I'm quitting the film crew job; it's pointless," Su Yu said calmly.

"Why?"

"It was the right thing to quit. What future is there in being an actor? You might as well come back and work for your dad. When I get old, you can take over my job!"

"You don't know anything! My son can do whatever he wants!"

Upon hearing this, Su Daqiang scratched his head, "Oh dear, I was just worried that Xiaoyu would get scammed when he went out..."

Wang Wei picked up the phone again, "Anyway, whatever you do, I'll support you. If you need money, I'll have your dad wire you another two thousand yuan."

"Two thousand isn't enough, is it? Film crews spend a lot of money, and I have over three thousand at home."

"Then just transfer three thousand."

Su Daqiang nodded, but quickly asked with a puzzled look, "So what are we going to eat this month?"

Wang Wei raised an eyebrow. "Red sausage, it's free, eat as much as you want."

"Can we get something else? I'm sick of it after all these years."

"If you want to change, that's fine. Then I'll change to a man who can make money, and then I can eat whatever I want."

On the other end of the phone, Su Yu listened to the two bickering and unexpectedly found the feeling quite heartwarming.

Old Su is still alive and well, and his favorite thing to do every day is to bicker with Ms. Wang Wei. He hasn't gone bankrupt or lost all his spirit yet.

My mother is still young, has a fiery temper, and is the backbone of the family. She doesn't look haggard every day because of money issues.

This is absolutely the best news he has received since his rebirth.

Reborn...

Family is the most important thing.
