Si Chen took the box, opened it, and saw a silver-gray scarf inside. It looked very delicately made. He smiled and said, "Thank you. It's very good."

Seeing that he said it was good, Huang Zisu was very happy. She smiled and said, "Brother Si, do you want to try it? I think this color suits you very well.

When asked whether he wanted to try it, Si Chen didn't say much. He took the scarf and tried it on his neck. He smiled and said, "It's good. Don't spend money next time. I feel embarrassed for doing this."

Seeing him wearing the scarf she knitted, Huang Zisu was almost fascinated. She smiled like a fangirl, "Brother Si, this scarf looks really good on you. It just happens to match the windbreaker you are wearing today. I know it suits you very well."

"Shiso, you really can talk."

"Haha, it's not that I'm good at talking, it's just that Brother Si is very handsome to begin with, and he looks even better with a little bit of dressing up, hasn't anyone ever told you that you're handsome?"

Si Chen smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated, right? It seems that no one has ever said that I am good-looking. You are the first one."

"No way? Brother Si is so handsome, and no one has said anything."

"Haha! No one said anything."

"That's because other people don't have good taste. Brother Si is so handsome, but other people don't say anything about it. That means other people really don't know how to appreciate him."

"Okay, let's not dwell on this matter. As long as people are healthy, that's all that matters. Zisu, go up! I have something else to do."

Huang Zisu felt embarrassed to stay and said, "Okay, I'll go upstairs to find them. We'll contact each other by phone later."

"Okay, go ahead!" Huang Zisu turned around and went upstairs.

Si Chen looked at her back, with an indescribable feeling in his heart. He looked at the scarf on his body, touched it, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He looked at her with his eyes until she disappeared at the stairs, then he started to get busy.

As soon as he arrived at the office, he saw a middle-aged woman sitting on the sofa. She looked very elegant. Seeing her sitting on the sofa, Si Chen walked over and called out, "Mom, why are you here?"

The middle-aged woman said angrily, "You haven't been home for so long? Have you forgotten about me and your father?"

"Mom, how is that possible? Isn't it busy lately? And I don't have time to go back to see you and my dad. How is my dad these days?"

"What's good about that? I'm afraid I'll be pissed off to death by your son sooner or later."

"Mom, what are you talking about? You and my dad are still young and alive, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Chen'er, you should let someone else manage this restaurant. Or you should listen to your mother and go back to Si's Enterprises."

Speaking of returning to Si's company, Si Chen said with some embarrassment, "Mom, let's talk about this later. Didn't we agree to wait a few years before talking about it? And you also know that I'm really not interested in family matters."

"You are not interested in family matters. So you mean you have to run this restaurant for the rest of your life? And then you don't care about family matters."

"Mom, I didn't say I don't care about family matters. Aren't you and my dad still young? Now the company is running well under dad's management, isn't it? Let's talk about it in a few years. I really love my current career. Although this career can't be compared with the family business, it is also my career, so mom, please be kind and let your son live happily for a few more years."

"I also know that you and my dad have worked hard over the past few years. It's such a big group company, and I should go back to help. I shouldn't let you work so hard, but I really have no interest in the family business."

Listening to his series of words, Wang Li was really helpless. In fact, she could understand in some ways, after all, he had his own ideas, but the company was so big that it would have to be handed over to him in the future. She said helplessly, "Chen'er, otherwise, let's make an agreement."

"What agreement?"

"Chen'er, you also know that your father is old now. In a few years, he will definitely not be able to manage the company."

"Mom, you and my dad are still very young, okay? You are only 52 and 53 years old. In today's society, this age is still very young."

"That's not young anymore!"

"Okay, okay, Mom, tell me what your agreement is."

Speaking of the agreement, Wang Li stretched out her hands to him and said, "Your father and I have already discussed it. We will give you this much time. Five years are up. No matter how your restaurant is doing, you must hand it over to someone else to manage it, and then return to the company to take over your father's business."

Speaking of five years, Si Chen felt that it was a bit short. He smiled and said, "Mom, five years is a bit short, isn't it?"

"Five years is not a short time. How old will your father be in five years? Do you plan to keep him company until he grows old?"

"That's not what I meant."

"Since that's not what you mean, then it's settled. When the time comes, you'll take over your father's business. As for your restaurant, it doesn't mean you have to quit or close it. You can hand it over to someone else and you don't have to manage it wholeheartedly. I know you love these restaurants, but there's really nothing you can do about the family business."

Seeing Wang Li's earnest look, Si Chen actually knew in his heart that this day would eventually come. He patiently explained, "Okay, I know about this matter. Mom, have you eaten?"

Seeing that he agreed, Wang Li said with a smile, "That's right. In fact, what your father and I said was good. We haven't let you interfere in the company's affairs for so many years. But your father and I are old, so there is nothing we can do."

"Mom, you don't need to explain so much. I actually understand it too."

"It's good that you understand. I'm just afraid that you don't understand your father and I's painstaking efforts at all."

"Mom, don't worry. I have a scale in my heart for everything, and I have a plan."

"it is good!"

"Then mom, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some food for you. Let's have a meal together here later."

"Well, speaking of eating, I'm still a little hungry."

Hearing her say she was hungry, Si Chen immediately said, "Okay, I'll make the call now and have someone deliver the food right away. I'll eat with you later."

"Okay, it's been a long time since I had dinner with my son. When he was busy, he even forgot about his mother."

"Okay, Mom, I promise you, as long as I have time in the future, I will go back more often and have dinner with you and my dad. Is that okay?"
