After urgently communicating all the key points with the two of them, Li Mugang just hung up the phone when his mother called.
As soon as the call was connected, Li Mu heard his mother say anxiously on the other end of the phone: "Son, I heard that you have found a case of SARS in Yanjing?"
"Yes, Mom." Li Mu said, "It was just diagnosed tonight."
Li's mother said hurriedly: "I have discussed it with your dad. You can come home tomorrow. Your dad and I will feel more at ease while you are at home. We have not heard of any SARS cases here."
Li Mu hurriedly comforted him: "Mom, don't worry too much. There is only one confirmed case in Yanjing, a city with a population of over 20 million. It's not that dangerous."
Li Ma couldn't help but said: "You can't be so worried at this time! Even if the risk is one in ten thousand, your dad and I won't worry. Your dad and I only want a son. If you have any shortcomings, What do you want us to do..."
"Oh Mom." Li Mu quickly advised her: "It's really not that serious here in Yanjing, not to mention that my side is very well prepared. Whether it is at home or in the company, there are very complete disinfection and epidemic prevention measures. I am usually the company and I travel between homes and don’t go to any public places, so there’s no risk.”
"Don't lie to me here." Li's mother said: "You have thousands of employees in your two companies. These are public places. How dangerous it is! Listen to mother and come back tomorrow. Don't take any planes." Train, ask the driver to drive back!”
After saying that, Li Ma added: "By the way, if you come back, take that girl Ziwei with you. Don't leave a little girl in Yanjing. It's not only safe to come to Haizhou, but I can also help you remotely." Deal with some work matters.”
"Mom..." Seeing that his mother's attitude was particularly firm, Li Mu began to plead: "I am also the boss of two companies. I usually agree with the employees that I will advance and retreat with the company and everyone. Without me, I will not be able to eat. It would starve everyone, but as soon as the first confirmed case was discovered in Yanjing, I immediately dropped my pick and ran away. What does this mean? What will the employees think of me then?"
Li's mother was also anxious and said, "It's true that you are the boss of two companies. You are also my and your father's son. Can't you make your parents feel more at ease?"
Li Mu felt quite uncomfortable when his mother said this. However, at this critical moment, he could not leave Yanjing no matter what, otherwise how could he encourage his employees? If employees are too nervous and resign one after another or take long vacations, will the company still be able to do so much business? Both Makino Technology and Taobao Technology are companies with technical support. If there is an emergency problem at the technical level, YY has a bug and cannot log in, Taobao has a bug and cannot place orders, but all the technical staff have taken leave, what should we do? A large amount of loss at the user level will bring huge and immeasurable losses to the company.
There was no other way, so Li Mu could only persuade his mother with emotion and reason, and at the same time comfort her and reassure her.
Li Ma listened to what Li Mu said. She was speechless for a long time on the other end of the phone. After a minute or two of silence, Li Ma sighed and said, "Okay, you have serious things to do, and I won't mess around with you anymore." .”
Li Mu was relieved when he heard this.
However, what Li Ma said next made Li Mu break into a cold sweat.
Mother Li said: "I discussed it with your father. Since you can't come back, we will go over to accompany you tomorrow."
"Ah?!" Li Mu suddenly became furious and blurted out: "You and dad must not come to Yanjing!"
Mother Li asked: "Why?"
Li Mu blurted out without any hesitation: "Because it's dangerous! Our Haizhou is a small place with a small population flow. Maybe we won't have confirmed cases when SARS is over. Don't go anywhere during this period. Just It’s safest to stay in Haizhou!”
Li Ma asked: "Didn't you just say that Yanjing is not dangerous? It takes 20 million people to find one confirmed case."
"After all, a confirmed case has been discovered. It is not the same as Haizhou. It is somewhat risky to come to Yanjing at this time..." Li Mu tried to persuade.
Unexpectedly, Ma Li sighed and said, "You worry about your parents going away, so why don't you worry about yourself? If you want to stay in Yanjing, Yanjing will not be so dangerous. Why does it become risky when your parents go?" "
"Hey..." Li Mu sighed and said, "I'm worried about you and dad. Even if there is a little risk, I don't want you to take it."
Mother Li said softly: "Son, your parents have the same thoughts as you, and they don't want you to take any risks."
Li Mu suddenly felt his eyes heat up, and tears were already welling up in his eyes.
This is the greatness of family love, especially the love of father and mother. If the same thing happens to you, you don’t feel that it is very dangerous, but if it happens to your relatives, you will be extremely worried.
It's like parents who see their children fall down feel much more uncomfortable than falling down themselves. When they fall down, they know in their hearts that they just grit their teeth and get over it. When their children fall down, they are always afraid that they will be hurt or injured, so many times When parents see their children suffering, the first thought in their minds is to hope that they can bear the pain for their children and give them some relief.
Li Mu suddenly remembered that when he was a child, his mother would still finish frying the vegetables like a normal person when hot oil splashed on her arm while cooking. When the family had dinner, he would find some toothpaste and apply it on. But one time, the young Li Mu After running into the kitchen and getting splashed with oil on his arm, his mother immediately dropped the spatula, hugged him and went to the bathroom to find toothpaste to apply on it. She repeatedly asked if it hurt. Seeing Li Mu cry, she shed tears of distress.
This is why many parents, when they are old or retired, still have to find ways to make money to help their children pay the down payment and pay off the mortgage. They live in a poor condition and make do with it. When their children live in a poor condition, they will feel particularly uncomfortable, so Voluntarily giving up the opportunity to enjoy a comfortable old age, and trying every means to make some money to support the children.
Although SARS in Yanjing had just begun, Li Mu had never felt scared, so he never thought about leaving Yanjing to avoid the limelight. However, when his parents said they were coming, his optimistic attitude immediately became pessimistic. I am afraid that there is even the slightest possibility that my parents will be infected by SARS.
After not hearing anything from Li Mu for a long time, Li Ma couldn't help but ask: "Son, are you listening?"
Li Mu wiped his tears and said repeatedly: "Listen, Mom."
Li Ma said: "Son, your dad said that we will drive to Yanjing early tomorrow morning. You don't have to worry too much. After we arrive in Yanjing, we will not go to crowded places and stay at Ziyun Villa. , I will cook for you every day, and when you get home from work, the three of us can have a meal together, and your parents will feel more at ease with you, and you don’t have to worry about any risks to your parents."
Li Mu still wanted to refuse, but Dad Li took over the words at this time and said: "Son, Dad picked up a new car, a Mercedes-Benz S600. It is very luxurious and much more comfortable than your big jeep. I will drive to Yanjing tomorrow to show you. "
Li Mu's heart was already filled with the love given by his parents. He said with tears on the other end of the phone: "Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare more daily necessities, including vegetables, fruits, salted fish, meat and eggs. You and mom are here." After that, if you have nothing to do, don’t leave Ziyun Villa.”
After saying that, Li Mu asked again: "You and mom should bring a driver. Driving long distances alone is too tiring."
Dad Li smiled and said, "It's okay. Your mother has a driver's license. She can take turns driving with me."
Li Mu asked in surprise: "Has Mom taken the driving license test?"
Dad Li hummed and said, "Your mother is a good driver. We will take turns driving, so we won't be tired. We will set off at six o'clock and arrive in the afternoon."
"Okay." Li Mu warned, "Then you and mom should pay attention to safety on the road and don't drive too fast. I'll get off work early tomorrow and go back to Ziyun Villa to wait."
Mother Li happily reminded her: "Ask Ziwei to come home for dinner tomorrow. I really miss this girl."
"Okay." Li Mu smiled and said, "I'll make the arrangements."
After hanging up the phone, Li Mu felt extremely emotional. However, at this time, his parents' coming to Yanjing did give him a different kind of warmth and support. As long as his parents went out as little as possible in Ziyun Villa, they would be able to prevent the infection. The probability is reduced to the lowest, and the remaining thing is to pay special attention to yourself. In the next time, except for the company, you will not go to other public places if you can't.
Just as he was thinking about it, his cell phone rang again. The call was from Zhao Ziqiu. Li Mu was thinking about calling her, but he didn't expect that she called him first. He guessed that when he answered his mother's call just now, Zhao Ziqiu had just called her. Beat yourself up.
After answering the phone, Li Mu asked her with concern: "Why haven't you rested so late?"
Zhao Ziqiu whispered: "I was already asleep, but my dad called me."
Li Mu knew as soon as she heard that Zhao Ziqiu's father called her because of SARS.
So, Li Mu asked her: "Did uncle call to talk about SARS?"
"Yes." Zhao Ziqiu said with a somewhat unhappy voice, "He said Yanjing was unsafe and arranged for a driver to pick me up home. I didn't want to go back and I quarreled with him."
Li Mu said: "My uncle's mood is understandable. SARS cases have just been discovered in Yanjing. My mother also called me just now and wanted me to go home."
Zhao Ziqiu asked him hurriedly: "Auntie also asked you to go home? Are you going back?"
Li Mu said: "I can't go back. Employees from both companies are fighting here. How can I make sense if I run away."
"Yeah..." Zhao Ziqiu sighed softly and said, "I don't want to go back either, but my dad disagrees. We had a few arguments just now. He said that he had asked the driver to prepare to leave, and that he would drive over to pick me up overnight. Said the airport station is too dangerous..."
Li Mu advised: "In extraordinary times, it is better to go home. After all, there are many people in the school, so there are always some risks."
Zhao Ziqiu said: "But I still have to go to class. If I leave, the course will be missed..."
Li Mu said: “Currently, the disease control department adopts a very high-level isolation policy. I heard that if there are confirmed cases in a building, then the entire building must be isolated, and people inside are not allowed to come out, and people outside are not allowed to come out. They are not allowed to enter. If someone in the school is infected, students will be isolated in the dormitory building. Then you will not be able to go to class even if you want to. The risk of infection is the most critical."
Zhao Ziqiu said: "But if I go home at this time, my parents will definitely not let me come back easily. If the epidemic lasts for a few months, it will be summer vacation directly, and I will have to wait until September to return to Yanjing... "
Li Mu sighed. In the memory of his previous life, the influence of SARS lasted until late June. There were still three months left. With Zhao Xianliang's behavior, once a maniac like him took Zhao Ziqiu home, She will definitely not be allowed to return to Yanjing, and it is even possible to send her abroad...
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Ziqiu murmured in a low voice: "If he takes me back, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me in the next few months..."
