Chapter 58 Taking Her Home

Si Yuan had already taken leave while she was hospitalized and was assigned to the second team to handle this project.

In other words, this matter has long been unrelated to her.

The reason for the last-minute change was that she lacked mental strength, and the doctor advised against overworking her.

Secondly, she does not want to have any further contact with Song Yan for the time being.

"What happened?"

Tina's voice sounded tired: "The ribbon-cutting ceremony had just begun when the glass installation of the branch company's logo suddenly shattered. It was perfectly fine during the inspection."

"But this project is no longer under our responsibility, so how could we get involved?"

"But when the Song Group people arrived, they wouldn't listen to these excuses."

Tina sighed, also sleepy and somewhat bewildered: "They specifically asked to see you."

Jiang Wang could tell that the voice on the phone sounded off.

Who is it?

Si Yuan felt that this was a work matter and, frankly, Jiang Wang shouldn't have been involved.

She hung up the phone and shook her head: "I need to go to the company."

Si Yuan's expression remained normal, except that she ate a little faster.

"I send you."

"I'll drive there; I have some other things to do tonight."

Jiang Wang noticed something was wrong with her.

But he didn't say anything.

As soon as Si Yuan left, he changed cars and followed her.

Midway through, Jiang Wang's mother, Pu Xiulan, made a phone call.

"The winter solstice is next month, are you coming back for the holiday?"

As the Jiang family spent less and less time together, Pu Xiulan hoped to see her son during holidays and festivals.

Jiang Wang pondered deeply for a while, thinking of Si Yuan.

If he wanted to take Si Yuan back for the holiday this time, how would she react?

"That depends on whether my girlfriend replies or not."

Pu Xiulan quickly exchanged a glance with her husband, unable to contain her joy.

Looks like this guy really does have a girlfriend!

"We definitely have to go back! Bring them to the capital. Mom will go prepare a gift for their arrival right now!"

“No need to prepare much.” Jiang Wang looked at the car in front and said casually, “Just prepare a few kilograms of gold dumplings, or some of the bracelets and jade that my grandma left behind before she passed away. She doesn’t care.”

"Huh?" Pu Xiulan hesitated for a moment: "Isn't that too casual?"

Jiang Wang paused for a moment, and indeed began to seriously consider this question.

"Then let's make her some dumplings."

Pu Xiulan was taken aback by these words.

Jiang Wang said, "Mom, she's been alone for a long time, so she'll probably prefer to eat dumplings on the Winter Solstice."

Jiang Wang understood perfectly well that the biggest reason Si Yuan had been unable to escape the Song family was that she always longed for a home.

I have family.

Unfortunately, I have a very nice home.

——

Si Yuan got out of the car and went straight to the building.

The scene outside the building has reached a fever pitch.

The red art installation is right in front of the building, but a corner of the glass on the top floor has broken off and fallen to the ground.

There were still fireworks and colorful ribbons from the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the entrance, and a group of reporters were gathered around.

An incident like this at an opening ceremony can be a big deal or a small deal, depending on how much importance it's taken to that level.

If we really have to investigate, it's probably not because we find it troublesome.

At this moment, Mr. Sun was covered in sweat and was repeatedly explaining to the Song family's people while bending over.

Upon hearing his assistant say that Si Yuan had arrived, President Sun felt like he had grasped at a last straw and practically ran towards the door.

He greeted Si Yuan, who had just entered, and said urgently, "You need to think of something quickly. The Song family is insisting on an explanation, and the reporters are surrounding us and won't leave. If this continues, TY's reputation will be ruined!"

Si Yuan's gaze swept over the mess on the ground, then landed on the art installation. She frowned, then calmly said, "The installation is damaged, so we should just compensate according to the contract. Why make a fuss like this?"

"Compensation? It's not that simple!"

Mr. Sun stamped his feet in frustration, glancing at the direction of the Song Group representative. He lowered his voice even further, "This is a new area project that the Song Group is heavily supporting. Even the senior executives from the group headquarters came to the ribbon-cutting ceremony today! They said this is not just about money, it's about losing face for the Song Group, and the consequences are something we simply cannot afford!"

“I handed this project over to Team Two a long time ago. From revising the plan to setting up the set, Team Two was in charge of everything. What could I possibly do if I came?”

Mr. Sun wiped the sweat from his forehead, a troubled look on his face: "I've talked to them, but it's no use!"

"The newly appointed branch manager from the Song family has declared that since you were the one who initially designed the core blueprints for this device, the chief designer must personally resolve the issue, or this matter will not be over."

"Branch manager?" Si Yuan frowned, finding it odd. "What's his name?"

Mr. Sun scratched his head, trying hard to recall what his assistant had said earlier: "It seems... his surname is Lin?"

Si Yuan subconsciously thought of one person.

Mr. Sun continued, "I overheard someone from the Song family mention that this branch company is a new area that the Song family specially opened up for this Mr. Lin, and they have invested a lot of resources in it, which shows how much they value it."

As soon as he said that, Si Yuan's heart sank.

With the surname Lin, and to receive such exceptional support from the Song family, who else could it be but Lin Shuangyu?

After all this time, it turns out that the branch office that Song Yan has been busy with recently was paving the way for Lin Shuangyu.

As expected of the Song family's prospective daughter-in-law, she has already handed over a company before even getting married.

The Song family really liked Lin Shuangyu.

Si Yuan approached the high-ranking officials and said only one sentence: "I want to see Lin Shuangyu."

——

Lin Shuangyu was sitting in his office on the top floor.

Today, she wore a white suit, a departure from her usual gentle and glamorous style, exuding a businesswoman-like aura.

Hearing the knock, Lin Shuangyu looked up and saw Si Yuan push the door open and come in.

A fleeting hint of smugness flashed across her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

She immediately put on a surprised expression: "Xiao Yuan, what brings you here? You wouldn't happen to be... the designer of that glass installation downstairs, would you?"

Si Yuan didn't beat around the bush with her and went straight to sit down opposite the coffee table.

“You specifically asked the Song family to call me out, I don’t believe you don’t know I’m the designer.”

Lin Shuangyu was taken aback, then smiled.

She stood up, picked up the champagne, poured two glasses, and pushed one towards Si Yuan.

"Don't say that, I had no choice. After all, now that there's a problem, if you, the chief architect, don't come, who can give the Song family and the reporters an explanation?"

Si Yuan looked at her with a laugh: "What kind of explanation do you want?"

Lin Shuangyu raised an eyebrow and took a sip of his drink: "You know, I just took over the branch company. This was a special engagement gift from your brother. If I mess up the opening ceremony, how will I establish myself in the Song family?"

"So you deliberately orchestrated this accident to drag me into this?"

Lin Shuangyu's hand, which was gripping the cup, suddenly stopped.

The fake smile faded from her eyes, leaving only disgust and impatience.

"Damn it, Si Yuan, you really don't mince words when you talk to me, do you?"
