453 If We Hadn’t Arrived, He Would Have Been Even Happier
Shi Xi looked at the chicken drumsticks in her bowl and said, “I’m not angry. I just feel that this system isn’t very reasonable.”
“We clearly agreed to allocate 50 million yuan, but it hasn’t been implemented.”
“Even if we were to allocate it in batches, 10 million yuan at a time would still be fine. A reimbursement of a few hundred thousand yuan at a time won’t even be enough to form the cast and crew.”
Father Shi looked over. “Yo, you’re not satisfied with the company’s system?”
Shi Xi pursed her lips. “No.”
Even if there was, she didn’t dare to say it.
Ning Yu said, “There are indeed some problems with this system. The allocation of funds in batches will slow down the progress of the project. It will also increase the workload of the Finance Department’s reviews.”
Shi Xu thought for a moment and said, “Someone mentioned that they have to curry favor with the people from the Finance Department in order to receive the funds allocated.”
“Moreover, the funds are all piled up in the Finance Department. It’s not a good thing,” Ning Yu reminded.
“Ning Yu has learned a lot from the company!” Father Shi praised, “Here, I’ll give you a big drumstick.”
Ning Yu looked at the drumstick in her bowl and thought to herself that she did not like it.
Forget it, she would just eat it…
Ning Yu: “Thank you.”

Before going to bed, Shi Xi received a call from Tao Yuxuan.
Forget it. It would be good if she didn’t have to get up to deal with her brother and sister.
Shi Xi picked up the call and asked, “Why are you calling so late?”
Tao Yuxuan: “Do you still remember the robber who tried to rob me but ended up in a vegetative state?”
“Xie Yunzhou was the one who hit him.” Shi Xi said, “I remember. Why?”
“It was clearly Xie Yunzhou’s assistant who hit him.” Tao Yuxuan defended him and said, “The hospital just told me that that person’s brain waves are fluctuating. He might be able to wake up soon.”
“That’s a good thing. If he wakes up, we’ll know who wants to harm you.” Shi Xi’s eyes lit up.
Since that incident, although the two robbers were caught, they could not find the person behind it. The case had been put on hold.
Shi Xi had always suspected that Xu Ziqing had paid for the murder, but there was no concrete evidence.
As long as this vegetative man woke up and identified her, Xu Ziqing would not be able to escape.

The next day.
Although during dinner, everyone talked about dealing with financial matters the next day.
But the next day was Saturday.
The matter had to be put on hold again.
Meanwhile, Father Shi saw that there were too many children at home, so he drove them to the old residence.
“You guys go back and visit Grandpa. He misses you guys a lot.”
Shi Xi thought to herself, why would that old man miss them?
He was just thinking about Shi Xu, right?
A feudal old-fashioned man who valued sons over daughters!
With this thought in mind, Shi Xi got into the car to the old house.
“Do you want to buy something?” Shi Xi asked lazily.
“Grandpa likes tea. I brought him some tea leaves.” Shi Xu said, “It’s fine as long as the two of you arrive. There’s no need to buy anything.”
Shi Xi whispered, “If we don’t arrive, he’ll be even happier.”
“What did you say?” Shi Xu asked.
“I said, Grandpa will be happy when he sees us.” Shi Xi’s eyes curved.
Ning Yu, who was sitting beside Shi Xi and heard Shi Xi’s words clearly, was speechless.
Shi Xi originally thought that being forced to visit a feudal old man was the worst thing that could happen today.
When she arrived at the old house, she realized that she was still too optimistic.
Xu Ziqing was also there.
“You guys are here. Please take a seat. I’m making tea for Grandfather.” Xu Ziqing smiled as if she was Shi Jingtian’s biological granddaughter.
“Hello, Grandpa.” After Shi Xi greeted him politely, she sat at the edge of the seat as usual and pretended that she didn’t exist.
Shi Jingtian snorted. “Aren’t you two very busy? Why are you all so free to visit an old man like me?”
