PFC Chapter 81 Burial
Chapter 81 Burial
Ye Chengyan looked impatient. "Didn't I say that we can replace that contractor? There are plenty of contractors that can cooperate with the Ye family. Can't you even handle this little thing?"
"Mr. Ye, I contacted other contractors, but... but every single one of them refused to cooperate with the Ye family." After the assistant finished speaking, he glanced cautiously at Ye Chengyan.
Ye Chengyan frowned deeply.
"what happened!"
"They said the price offered by Ye's Group was too low, and other companies offered better prices, plus..."
The assistant stopped, seemingly unsure whether to speak or not.
Ye Chengyan's mind was buzzing, and he felt even more agitated.
"Speak quickly, what kind of behavior is it to stammer?"
The assistant took a deep breath and, with a look of grim determination, said the rest of his words.
"Furthermore, news that you dealt with a contractor who refused to cooperate with the Ye family has been leaked. Since the contractor had cooperated with us several times, many contractors are disheartened and worried that you, Mr. Ye, will monopolize the market and become the only dominant player."
"A monopoly!" Ye Chengyan's eyes were bloodshot. "They're just being arrogant, trying to get the Ye family to raise prices. Damn it, it's their honor to cooperate with the Ye family. Go and contact them. I refuse to believe that no one is willing to cooperate with the Ye family."
After he finished speaking, he lifted his foot and kicked the trash can next to him away.
The trash can rolled to the side, scattering its contents all over the ground.
"Mr. Ye, I've contacted all the contractors in the city, and not one of them has agreed to cooperate with our company. If the project continues to be abandoned like this, our losses will be more than 200 million."
The assistant wore a bitter expression; he hadn't expected these people to be so ungrateful.
In the past, these people would have gone to great lengths to cooperate with the Ye family.
Ye Chengyan's eyes were bloodshot. He was furious at the contractors' lack of tact and gritted his teeth.
"If no one in this city is willing, then we'll contact contractors in other cities. Only a fool wouldn't take the money. I refuse to believe that contractors from all over the country or the world wouldn't be willing!"
Ye Chengyan was blinded by rage.
“Mr. Ye, if we contact contractors in other cities, the cost of this project will increase significantly. Moreover, we cannot contact contractors in other cities every time, and the board of directors will not agree to it.”
The assistant wore a worried expression, fearing that Mr. Ye might do something rash and actually go his own way.
Without reaching a settlement with the local contractors, it's a dead end.
After calming down, Ye Chengyan realized that it was impossible to keep using contractors from other cities.
He always felt that this matter was not simple.
This isn't the first time Ye Chengyan has used such methods against companies he has a falling out with; only this time has it caused so much trouble.
He always felt that there was an invisible net in the air, tightly enveloping him.
Ye Chengyan, who originally wanted to go to Yunzhi's place in person, had to focus his attention on the company.
"Let's go back to the company!"
The assistant quickly followed Ye Chengyan away.
……
On the other side, Yunzhi, who had been worried about Tongtong and was also suffering from illness and unable to sleep, finally felt a little sleepy.
She yawned, her eyelids feeling like they were filled with lead, but she stubbornly refused to sleep, staring straight at Tongtong.
Less than forty hours had passed since she left this world.
Every glance she took was one less to look at, and she couldn't bear to go to sleep.
If she could, Yunzhi would rather spend the rest of her time with Tongtong, her eyes open, until the end of her life.
Cheng Shuyan turned his head and saw Yunzhi nodding her head little by little, like a chick eating rice.
Yunzhi's adorable appearance made Cheng Shuyan's eyes crinkle into a smile.
He walked over, half-squatted down, and gently persuaded him.
"Zhizhi, go to sleep if you're tired. Take care of yourself these next few days. I've already contacted the best doctor in the US who treats bone cancer. He'll be here the day after tomorrow to customize a treatment plan for you."
Yunzhi forced herself to stay alert.
She looked at Cheng Shuyan, hesitant to speak.
The day after tomorrow, she will no longer be in this world.
Seeing Cheng Shuyan's concerned expression, Yunzhi silently shut her mouth.
She nodded to Cheng Shuyan, and just as she was about to get up, her body suddenly became suspended in mid-air. Her pupils contracted sharply, and when she looked up, she met his gentle eyes.
It turned out to be Cheng Shuyan, who picked her up.
Yunzhi had no idea how long it had been since anyone had hugged her like that.
The last time... it feels like a past life.
Her cheeks flushed, and she struggled to get down, but Cheng Shuyan gently patted her waist.
Yunzhi froze, not daring to move. She clutched the glass jar tightly in her hands, her heart, which had been dead, suddenly began to beat faster.
"Zhizhi, you've lost so much weight."
It was only then that Cheng Shuyan realized how thin Yunzhi was. Holding her in his arms, he could even feel her protruding bones through her clothes.
He suppressed the bitterness in his voice, unsure whether he was speaking to Yunzhi or to himself.
"It's okay, I'll fatten Zhizhi up. Zhizhi is cuter when she's a little chubby."
Yunzhi silently shrank back.
She muttered to herself.
No, she'll never be fat again.
The two remained silent until Cheng Shuyan placed Yunzhi on the bed.
When Cheng Shuyan left, Yunzhi stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling a tightness in her chest, as if some emotion was stuck inside and she couldn't express it.
The scent of Cheng Shuyan still lingered around her.
She thought she wouldn't be able to fall asleep anytime soon, but before long, she felt her consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, and finally, holding the glass jar, she lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
In her dream, Yunzhi dreamed of Tongtong once again.
Tongtong had two braids, her chubby cheeks were swollen from being soaked in water, and her big, round eyes were filled with bloody tears as she stared blankly at Yunzhi.
"Mommy, why haven't you buried me yet? Tongtong wants to be reincarnated. Mommy, formaldehyde smells awful. Tongtong doesn't like formaldehyde. Tongtong is in so much pain. Mommy, Tongtong is in so much pain."
"Ah!" Yunzhi screamed, covering her ears with both hands and sitting up abruptly.
She was panting heavily, and Tongtong's sharp questioning seemed to still echo in her ears.
Yunzhi gripped the blanket tightly, her whole body covered in cold sweat, her clothes clinging to her body. She turned around, looked at the glass jar beside her, and gently stroked it.
"Tongtong, did Mom really do something wrong? You want to be reincarnated, but Mom is the one who delayed your reincarnation. Tongtong, Mom knows she was wrong."
Tears welled up in her eyes without warning and poured out.
"Zhizhi, what's wrong?" At this moment, Cheng Shuyan, who had heard the commotion, burst in. He was startled to see Yunzhi crying uncontrollably and quickly came over.
Yunzhi raised her head, her face streaked with tears, and looked at Cheng Shuyan with a firm tone.
"Brother, have you thought it through?"
