It was after nine o’clock when they got home. The family was still awake, and the lights were on in the living room.

Su Huanyi had a bruise on the side of his leg, which caused pain when he walked. He grabbed the back of Su Chi’s coat like a handicapped chicken and moved towards the house little by little.

Su Jitong happened to be watching TV in the living room. He turned his head and happened to see the two driving a train through the living room, and his eyes condensed—

“What are you doing? *Eagle catches chicken?”

***a multiplayer game for kids that requires at least three people to play. The “chick(s)” hide behind the “hen” as it protects them from the “eagle”. More in depth here.***

Su Chi paused, “Dad ……”

Su Huanyi was startled, and he grabbed the hem of Su Chi’s shirt even tighter, pulling it out of the V-port, and the air went straight into Su Chi’s lower back.

Su Chi: “….”

Between the tugging and pulling of each other, Su Jitong had walked over and his critical eyes darted between them: “You know you’re about to be separated, so you’re putting on a show for me?”

Now that Yu Xinyan and his other two sons were not there, he did not have to cover up his words. It was these two who were making the little moves, so why should he sneak around when he was an old father?

Su Huanyi quickly let go of his hand and the hem of the clothes snapped back as he explained nervously, “It’s just childish fun ……”

Su Jitong was now adept at playing “wicked mother-in-law”. He said contemptuously, “So you two are not in love, are you two just guessing?”

Su Chi and Su Huanyi: “…”

After a two-second pause, Su Chi said without change in expression, “It’s puppy love…”

Su Jitong then choked for a moment.

Su Huanyi, who was caught in the middle of the two, did not dare make a squeak: it seems that only yin-yang can defeat yin-yang. He was still too simple.

After a few rounds of battle, Su Jitong, an old yin-yang man who had been slapped on the beach by the new generation of yin-yang men, shifted his battle line.

He left his eldest son, who was *green out of blue, and turned to the honest Su Huanyi, “Little Yi, come up with me for a moment.”

***student surpasses the master. ***

The hem of the shirt was instantly pulled out of a large *V port!

***A ‘v’ shaped joint which allows the orifice to be opened and closed in a more controlled manner(in relation to plumbing or engineering).***

Su Huanyi was nervous. “Dad, what’s the matter?”

The big pigeon opened its wings in time to protect the shivering little pigeon, “Why don’t you just talk from here?”

Su Jitong was angry at his eldest son, “I want to tell little Yi about the company. What do you want to hear? Do you really want to be an assistant?”

Su Chi: “…”

His father’s fighting ability seems to have returned to its previous level.

Su Huanyi followed Su Jitong up to the third floor. As they parted from Su Chi at the stairs to the third floor, their eyes lingered on each other for a few seconds, and then Su Huanyi felt a threatening gaze fall on his hair.

Su Jitong: “Do you want me to change the staircase into an escalator so that you can watch each other?”

The two: “…”

Su Huanyi felt wronged, and he covered his strands of hair as he followed.

The study of the Su family was located diagonally across from the master bedroom. The décor of the public areas of the mansion was warm and welcoming, except for the study, which was the most serious.

The door was well insulated, and external sounds were isolated as soon as it was closed.

“Sit down, and we will talk, little Yi.” Su Jitong took the lead and sat down on the sofa.

Su Huanyi sat down beside him in a cautious and polite manner. His hands were in his lap and his buttocks were only one third of the way up the sofa.

“Okay, Dad.”

Su Jitong glanced at him in surprise. He suddenly felt that he had succeeded in portraying himself as a wicked “mother-in-law.”

“Why are you nervous? I said I want to talk to you about the company.” Su Jitong carried him back to the sofa and made him sit fully. Su Huanyi gradually changed back to his usual jelly form, and he was satisfied. “The eldest told you about the household registry.”

Su Huanyi hesitated and nodded, “He did.”

“Do you think Dad is making his own decisions?”

“No, mum and dad have always been very considerate of me.”

“It’s good that you understand. You’re a boy, and I think you need to have a career. I used to think of you having a family and a career, but now …… there’s no problem with having a family, but you still need to have a career. ”

Su Huanyi nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, “Mm-hmm!”

He nodded and then came back to his senses…No more problems with having a family?

Su Huanyi secretly glanced at Su Jitong: Father seemed to be thoroughly cooked but didn’t realize it.

Su Jitong was completely unaware of his subtext as he continued to babble, “From now on, that branch will be under your name. In a few days, we will hold a banquet and announce the news of your independence to the public. We still have to go through the process. ”

Su Huanyi was always grateful, “Thank you, Dad.”

“Hmph, if you really want to thank me, then be more careful and not make me angry.”

“We’ll be careful not to let Dad see that in the future.”

The topic didn’t need more explanation, and the topic ended.

Su Jitong explained a few more things about the company and sent Su Huanyi back to rest when he saw it was getting late.

Su Huanyi was about to go down the staircase when he heard two “coughs.” He turned his head and saw Su Jitong looking at him with meaningful eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, Su Huanyi suddenly felt blessed—he went downstairs with his eyes lingering, recreating the scene of him and his elder brother parting.

Su Jitong went back to his bedroom satisfied: although his eldest son had abducted Su Huanyi, his position as father was unshakable!

Back on the second floor, Su Huanyi went to the door of Su Chi’s bedroom, and the door clicked open, as if it had its stupid hair sensor.

Su Chi stood in the doorway and reached out to carry him in and close the door.

“What did Dad say to you?”

“He talked about announcing my move out of the household register, as well as the matter of the branch company.” Su Huanyi brought himself closer, ” I think Dad is already well cooked.”

Su Chi was well-adjusted to his words, “It’s due to Dad’s nature.”

“His kind nature?”

“No, entrepreneurial nature.” Su Chi explained, “Adaptable, good heat conductivity, and quick to get ready.”

“….” This was the first time he had ever heard of such a theory.

The issue of the heat-conductivity of entrepreneurs was quickly turned over to the next page, and Su Chi pulled him to the edge of the bed and sat down.

Su Huanyi did not expect that Su Chi would really want to apply medicine to him.

He had been so thick-skinned in the past that he even asked Su Chi to apply medicine to his bare legs, but the latter had thoroughly educated him.

It was as if the roles were now reversed, with the shameful one becoming him and the cheeky one becoming Su Chi.

He shrank back into the bed, “No need for that, Big Brother.”

The medicine stained the cotton paper as Su Chi said, “Don’t you know your body’s constitution?”

Peerless, fragile skin. Su Huanyi silently lowered his head and pulled down his trousers.

The lights in the bedroom were on and the porcelain white skin shone before his eyes. The injury was on the inner thigh, and Su Huanyi propped himself on the bed to ease it slightly.

Su Chi’s fingertips trembled imperceptibly. He slowed down his breathing and squatted down. He supported Su Huanyi’s leg, and the cool cotton paper stained the bruise.

“Hiss…” Su Huanyi sucked in a breath as his leg shook and was held steady again, “Big brother, be gentle.”

“How much more gentle?” Su Chi’s breath was hot, and it puffed up to relieve a trace of coolness. “It’s like I am rubbing cultural relics.”

Su Huanyi: “…”

The mutually torturous application of medicine was over, and it was almost time to go to bed. The corridor outside was quiet, and it was only then that Su Huanyi remembered there should be someone else on this floor. “Where is second brother? I didn’t see him when we came back.”

“He went on a business trip this afternoon and will be back the day after tomorrow.”

“Will I travel as much as second brother when I start managing the branch company?”

“No…” Su Chi carried the man back to his bedroom, “I won’t let you stay away from me for long.”

……

The next few days were busy for the entire Su family.

The other side was quick to strike, and within two or three days, the Su family’s properties were hit by a succession of blows. There was some internal and external turmoil, and Su Chi worked overtime to deal with the company’s problems.

Su Huanyi also stayed overtime. Xiao Qin’s work was handed over to him, and he was too busy to respond to greetings from his friends.

And it was then that the gentry collectively discovered that the saltiest fish in the Su family had disappeared.

—Something’s wrong, something’s definitely wrong! Could it be that the Su family had been hit hard and couldn’t take care of itself?

Just when speculation was running rampant, the Su family finally made a move.

When everyone asked around, they discovered that Mr and Mrs Su Jitong were issuing invitations:

[Friends, come to our house for a party a week later!]

The whole upper class circle: “Huh?”

The Su family’s operation was so flamboyant that even Liu Qinling, who was far away in southern Yunnan, heard about it and she made a special call, “Hey, brother Huanyi, what’s the situation at your house? I heard people say that the Su family has recently been suppressed by a coalition and is about to decline, but it seems that your family is busy preparing for a banquet with great enthusiasm.”

On account of her good relationship with the family, she made a bold guess, “Is it a last hurrah?”

Su Huanyi: “…”

He didn’t know how to explain it. He couldn’t say: Oh, my brother and I are in love, and a bunch of kids are planning to take advantage of the situation to share the cake.

My family is going to host a party to announce my move out of the household registration book. It was just a coincidence that the two events collided, and it’s not to celebrate the family’s exit from the business world.

Liu Qinling was shocked by the brief silence and asked, “Did I really get it right?”

Su Huanyi shook his head through the earpiece, correcting her words, “It’s a hurrah before a new dawn.”

Liu Qingling: “….”

After pacifying Liu Qingling, he turned his attention back to the battle against the forces of evil.

The Su group’s stock had dropped continuously over the past few days, and it finally managed to attract Su Jitong’s attention.

It was unknown what Su Chi told Su Jitong, as the latter didn’t care after finding out.

He seemed to be more concerned about the substantive progress of his two sons and whether his wife was properly cooked than company matters.

The company had changed dramatically and the current chairman had done nothing while the old chairman was obsessed with holding parties and did not step in.

–In the eyes of the world, the Su family was on its way out.

Within days, news of the imminent collapse of the Su family spread throughout the upper echelons of society.

Su Huanyi came back from his lunchtime meal and collapsed on the sofa, reading rumours he had gathered from relatives and friends to Su Chi.

“Big brother, some people say that you met with Director Li of the Xinrui Group yesterday and are planning to sell the family’s assets.”

Su Chi flipped through the report on the city’s construction cooperation indifferently.

“There are also rumours that the Su family is going bankrupt and is fleeing in pieces…”

Su Huanyi paused while swiping his phone, “Is this about the third brother who went to school and second brother who went on a business trip?”

“Yes…”

“Oh and this, the senior management of the company has already started to pack up and leave. The secretary to the chairman of the board has not come to work for five consecutive days and is suspected to have jumped ship.”

Su Chi raised his eyes to look over.

Su Huanyi looked up from his mobile phone, “Isn’t that Secretary Qin?”

“Otherwise, Do I have a second secretary?”

Su Huanyi was instantly convinced by the gossip, “Gossip is more fierce than a tiger.”

He put the phone down and started another topic, “By the way, big brother, I haven’t seen secretary Qin for a long time. Where did you exile him to? You might as well give him to me. ”

Su Chi’s gaze was cool, “Give him to you for what? He doesn’t need anymore training.”

Su Huanyi, who was coldly connoted;”… ”

The two knocks on the door broke the once anxious atmosphere.

The two men stopped looking at each other for a moment, and Su Chi said, “Come in.”

The person who pushed the door in was none other than Xiao Qin, who had disappeared for a long time, “Director Su, Assistant Su.”

Su Huanyi was so stunned that his strands of hair stood up, “Secretary Qin!”

Xiao Qin bowed to him, and then put a document on Su Chi’s desk. “Director Su, I’m here to report on the work of the past few days.”

They were on a lunch break and no work would be reported unless there were special circumstances.

Su Huanyi stayed to the side and did not interfere. Xiao Qin kept reporting for more than 40 minutes before finishing.

“I understand. It’s been a hard time for you.” Su Chi put the documents away and said to Xiao Qin, “I’ll double your salary this month.”

“Don’t be polite, Director Su. This is my duty, and you should be reasonable with me. ” Xiao Qin added respectfully, “The double salary will be settled on time at the end of the month.”

Su Huanyi: “….”

Su Chi was used to it, “Don’t worry.”

The two were left alone in the office after Xiao Qin left and Su Huanyi withdrew his eyes reluctantly. He really wanted to poach Xiao Qin.

But now is not a good time as there are more important things to do.

“Big brother, did I just hear that the opponent is planning to make a big wave in three days?”

Su Chi didn’t even look up; “There are analysts on the other side. According to the curve of the stock market and the laws of business, three days is the best time to leverage.”

Su Huanyi went to his mobile phone notebook, “But isn’t it three days from now when our family is hosting a banquet?”

Su Chi expressed affirmation, “It’s the same day.”

Su Huanyi sighed, “What a coincidence.”

Su Chi closed his document and walked over to him. His straight body was backed by the light, and his shadow was beautiful.

Su Huanyi lifted his head from the sofa, “Big brother?”

Su Chi slightly bent down and clasped their fingers together, each knuckle closely fitting, “Su Huanyi, you must remember that there are not so many coincidences in the world.”

Su Huanyi tasted his words for a couple of seconds, and then it came back to him. His fingers pinched excitedly, “Did you do it on purpose?”

“….” Su Chu, whose fingers were pinched, pinned Su Huanyi’s fingers down, “Mmm…”

Su Huanyi instantly felt that his big brother was being modest, “Is there some hidden meaning!”

He went ahead to guess, “Are you trying to *lure the tiger from its mountain with the banquet? Or do you want to set up a feast at Hongmen and close the door to beat the dogs?”

***to lure the enemy away from its territory.***  ***A feast at Hongmen is a banquet set up with the aim of murdering the guests.***

Su Chi: “Neither.”

Su Huanyi cocked his head, “Then what is it?”

Su Chi said faintly, “It’s convenient to watch their expressions live. It’s more interesting. ”

Su Huanyi: “…”

The author has something to say: “Small Theatre.”
Opponent laughs: The Su family is stupid. Why do you invite us?
Su Chi eats melon seeds: Here comes the fun show.
