Although Li Mu may not have time to meet Zhao Ziqiu in ten and a half days even if he is in Yanjing when he is busy, but if he really wants to say that he may not have the chance to see Zhao Ziqiu in the next few months, Li Mu is reluctant to let go.
In the future, the SARS epidemic in Yanjing will definitely enter a stage of rapid development, and the more serious the epidemic becomes, the less likely he is to leave Yanjing. If Zhao Ziqiu returns to Hangzhou, it will be difficult for him to see her. If she goes abroad, Basically I haven't seen him in the past few months.
At this time, Zhao Ziqiu's voice on the other end of the phone was particularly aggrieved, and he said, "I just can't let you go. What if my dad takes me back and I can't see you for several months?"
Li Mu sighed and said, "According to my uncle's character, if you don't go back, I'm afraid he won't agree. Maybe he will come to take you back in person."
Zhao Ziqiu said: "Why don't you call him and persuade him? He should listen to what you persuade him."
Li Mu smiled helplessly and said, "Are you stupid? My uncle is thinking about your health. I can't persuade him to be more generous."
Zhao Ziqiu said coquettishly: "Just say you will take good care of me. It just so happens that you are not planning to leave Yanjing. He still trusts you very much."
Saying that, Zhao Ziqiu hurriedly added: "You just need to persuade my father to stop. Normally, you should do your business. I won't cause you any trouble, so don't worry."
Li Mu sighed and said: "Why should I worry about you causing trouble for me? The main reason is that there are indeed risks for you to stay in school. There are tens of thousands of people in your school, and you have to come into contact with many people every day in class, eating, and sleeping. Don't say My uncle and aunt are worried, and I am worried too."
Zhao Ziqiu said: "I don't have to live in the dormitory. I live in the house my mother bought for me. I rarely go to crowded places to eat. I only go to school every day. I always wear a mask during class and wash my hands frequently. Wouldn’t that be much better?”
Li Mu said: "That's still risky."
Zhao Ziqiu said angrily: "This is how your Taobao website teaches others on the Internet! You said that as long as you wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, and avoid frequent public places, you can prevent infectious diseases to a large extent. How can you tell me? Isn’t it possible here again?”
Li Mu could only say patiently: "That can only reduce the risk, but it cannot reduce the risk, aunt! With Uncle Zhao's character, you cannot bear any risk. Even if I agree to you, it is useless, he will definitely come to Yan Jing will take you back."
Zhao Ziqiu showed a rare temper and said angrily: "I don't care, I won't go back anyway, let alone the driver, I won't go back even if he comes in person."
"This..." Li Mu didn't know what to do with her at the moment. Once Zhao Ziqiu, who was usually well-behaved and docile, started to act out of temper, no one would be able to go against her will, otherwise she would definitely use her... To fight back, even Zhao Xianliang might not be able to do anything to her by then.
So Li Mu could only follow her wishes and persuade her softly: "Then let me call my uncle and see if I can find a compromise."
"Really?" Zhao Ziqiu's voice suddenly became cheerful again, and he said happily: "Then why don't you give him a beating now? He hasn't gone to bed yet."
"Okay." Li Mu agreed and said, "I'll call him now and I'll get back to you later."
"OK!"
…
Hangcheng, Zhejiang Province.
Zhao Xianliang had just finished calling the driver. In order to get Zhao Ziqiu home from Yanjing, Zhao Xianliang deliberately arranged for the two most reliable drivers in the company's fleet. Both drivers had been drivers in Zhao Xianliang's company for more than ten years. , a first-class experienced driver who has never had any traffic accidents, Zhao Xianliang arranged for them to drive a high-end business car from the company and set off immediately. He first picked up his female secretary, and then drove her overnight to pick up her daughter from Yanjing. .
Xie Yun frowned slightly and couldn't help but said: "Hey, I'm afraid Ziqiu is not willing to come back with them. What if they run away to Yanjing and Ziqiu refuses to agree to it? What will happen then?"
"She dares!" Zhao Xianliang glared and scolded: "You have to take your time to get used to her. You can do whatever you want at ordinary times, but you must obey my arrangements at this time! Do you think this SARS is a joke? You can get it through various channels It’s not like you haven’t heard the news. There is no effective treatment plan yet. Patients with the infection can only use a large amount of hormone therapy. Even if they can save their lives, there will be long-term or even permanent sequelae. In the face of this kind of thing, no matter how much money you have, It’s all useless, even if it’s one in 10,000, one in 100,000, or even one in a million, I can’t afford it!”
Xie Yun nodded and said: "Yes, you are right. I feel the same way as you, but you have to consider the actual situation of the child after all. She is a human being and she is over twenty years old. No A kitten or a puppy can be brought back if you ask someone to pick it up. You must know your own child. If she is pushed up, eight horses will not be able to pull her back... "
Zhao Xianliang said categorically: "When they arrive in Yanjing tomorrow, if Ziqiu doesn't come back with them, I will go there myself!"
Xie Yun looked at him hesitantly, and then said after a while: "Why don't you call Li Mu and ask him to help persuade?"
Zhao Xianliang blurted out without thinking: "Quickly pull her down! Why doesn't Ziqiu want to come back? Isn't it because of Li Mu? If Li Mu wasn't in Yanjing, she would definitely have agreed to come back! If you ask Li Mu to persuade her, the more you persuade her, the worse she will do. !”
Xie Yun said: "Perhaps Li Mu also has plans to leave Yanjing? If so, let him explain the situation to Ziqiu, wouldn't Ziqiu resist going home?"
Zhao Xianliang waved his hand: "How is this possible? All the entrepreneurs in Yanjing have run away, and Li Mu will not run away either. I have already seen clearly the way this kid does things."
Xie Yun said: "Maybe he is the only one in Li Mu's family, and his parents must be as worried as the two of us."
Zhao Xianliang was unmoved and said with determination: "It's impossible. Judging from the things he has done during this period, he will definitely not leave Yanjing at this time. His two companies plus Taobao Logistics, Alipay, there are thousands of people in Yanjing, how could he leave? Moreover, he has done so many good things for society since the outbreak of SARS, and it is even more impossible to leave at this time. What will happen to him after leaving? SARS has not arrived yet, You were so busy, and you were still yelling at everyone not to worry too much, but when SARS came, you ran away with your tail between your legs, wouldn't his image in society be ruined?"
Xie Yun sighed and said with emotion: "It seems that Li Mu's parents must be worried about this matter just like us."
"Yes." Zhao Xianliang nodded slightly and said: "To be honest, his risk is greater. He has to go in and out of the company all day long. There are thousands of people in the company, with addresses all over Yanjing. People from all over Yanjing gather here every day. The company covers too much area, but Ziqiu is better. Although there are many people in the school, they are all students, most of whom live on campus, and they don’t have that much contact with the outside world."
Xie Yun said: "Let's do this. If Ziqiu doesn't want to come back with them tomorrow, I will go there and persuade her. If I can't persuade her, then let's stop trying and donate to Yan Da. Spend some money to help them strengthen epidemic prevention, which can also be considered as buying stability for their children."
Zhao Xianliang nodded: "It is indeed necessary to donate money. If we donate now, my daughter will have even more reasons not to come back. Let's wait and see after we finish talking. If she is willing to come back, we have to donate some money to the school, too." Give other children more protection.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Xianliang hesitated again and again, and finally said: "You, please advise her. Li Mu must be very busy at this time. There are a lot of things in front of and behind him waiting for him to deal with. Even if she stays in Yan Jing and Li Mu don’t care about her at all.”
Xie Yun nodded gently: "I understand..."
At this time, Zhao Xianliang's cell phone on the table suddenly rang. Xie Yun picked it up, looked at it, and hurriedly handed it to him and said, "Quick, it's Li Mu calling."
"Li Mu?" Zhao Xianliang looked at Li Mu's name on the phone, shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that Ziqiu called Li Mu. I guess Li Mu came to intercede with her."
Xie Yun urged and said: "Stop guessing, take it first and then talk."
Zhao Xianliang answered the phone and said with a smile: "Hey, Li Mu, why are you calling so late?"
Li Mu hurriedly said: "Hello, Uncle Zhao, I'm sorry to bother you so late."
Zhao Xianliang said: "It's okay, your aunt and I haven't slept yet. A girl like Ziqiu is so angry that she is not sleepy anymore. Do you know what this girl thinks? Is SARS a joke? At this time You even play tricks on your parents!"
Li Muxin said that an old capitalist like Zhao Xianliang has extraordinary life experience. He must know that this is what he called to talk about, so before he could start, he went straight to the topic, which blocked him. I don't know how to speak.
So Li Mu could only echo: "Uncle, please don't be angry, Zi Qiu..."
Before Li Mu finished speaking, Zhao Xianliang blurted out: "I almost made her confused with anger. If I didn't have important things to deal with here, I would have followed the car to Yanjing to pick her up in person!"
As he spoke, Zhao Xianliang added: "Li Mu, you are much more mature than Ziqiu. Please help your uncle and aunt persuade her. You can't afford to take any risks at this time. The most important thing is to leave Yanjing first. dont you agree?"
Li Mu was helpless. Zhao Xianliang had firmly established himself in the art of negotiation, and he was left speechless with just a few words. He didn't want to persuade him to give up bringing Zhao Ziqiu back to Hangzhou, but just wanted to follow him. He discussed a compromise or a tactful solution, but now it seems that there is no chance at all.
Just as he was feeling depressed, Xie Yun's voice came from the other end of the phone, saying: "Li Mu, I am your Aunt Xie."
"Hello, Aunt Xie."
Xie Yun asked: "Li Mu, you are alone in Yanjing. Your parents must be very worried, right?"
Li Mu hummed and said, "Yes, you called me just now."
Xie Yun asked again: "They must also hope that you can leave Yanjing temporarily, right?"
"Yes."
"Then what are your plans?"
Li Mu had no choice but to say truthfully: "Auntie, I definitely can't leave Yanjing. From now until the SARS crisis is lifted, I definitely can't leave Yanjing."
"What about your parents? Can they feel relieved?"
"I'm worried." Li Mu said, "I said I couldn't go back, so they said they wanted to come over. I tried to persuade them for a long time, but they couldn't stop them."
"Oops." Xie Yun said, "Your parents are going to Yanjing to accompany you at this time?"
"Yes." Li Mu said helplessly: "We have no choice but to take a step back in the end. They come to Yanjing to accompany me, but they should stay at Ziyun Villa as much as possible and go out as little as possible. Ziyun Villa should be relatively safe. Originally It’s a completely enclosed environment with a large green area and a forest park around it, far away from the downtown area.”
Xie Yun nodded and said to herself: "It is also a solution. Ziyun Villa does have natural advantages, and the risk will be much smaller..."
Speaking of this, Xie Yun's eyes suddenly lit up and she said to Zhao Xianliang: "Old Zhao, how about I go to Yanjing to accompany Ziqiu? It just so happens that our family also has a house in Ziyun Villa!"
