Chapter 153: Request

As a big shot who had been in the top position for a long time, it was rare that Xi Cheng wanted to show concern for a junior’s love life. He did not expect to be rejected directly.
Xi Cheng felt a little dissatisfied by the rejection. “You brat, you really don’t know what’s good for you. Back when I was your age, I was already with my wife. Look at you, you haven’t even confirmed your relationship with the girl you like. If you keep dawdling, when will you be able to win the beauty?”
Si Huan did not want someone else to talk about his relationship anymore. He put on a puzzled expression at a suitable timing and asked, “I’m sorry, from what I know, Mr. Xi, ever since you took over the family, you seem to have been single. I’ve never heard that you have a wife.”
Xi Cheng’s expression froze on his face. After a while, he said dejectedly, “You aren’t wrong. I’m a failure who has lost my wife and child for almost 20 years. How am I qualified to teach you about my dating experience? Besides, I don’t remember the details of the relationship…”
Si Huan didn’t expect to find out about such a big secret. He wanted to console the dejected Xi Cheng, but he didn’t know where to start.
In the end, he could only change the topic clumsily. “I wonder how the discussion between Huo Tian and the doctor is going.”
Although Xi Cheng knew that Si Huan was changing the topic, he still accepted his kindness and continued, “I hope they can quickly confirm the proposal for the exoskeleton equipment. I don’t want to wait any longer…”
Si Huan assured, “Once the proposal is confirmed, our company will start operating very quickly. We will try our best to send the exoskeleton equipment you need over as soon as possible. After the adjustments are made, you will then be able to stand and walk like a normal person.”
The two of them unanimously ignored the relationship topic they had been talking about previously and started talking about the production of the exoskeleton equipment as well as about company management. The atmosphere was considered harmonious.
Not long after, Huo Tian also ran back excitedly. As soon as she entered, she announced happily, “I’ve reached a consensus with the doctor. We’ve already decided on the production plan for the exoskeleton equipment. Si Huan, let’s hurry back to the company. I’ll gather the employees to start work quickly. It’ll probably only take a week to complete the production!”
She grinned at Xi Cheng, who was sitting in the wheelchair. “Mr. Xi, in just another week, you’ll be able to stand up!”
Xi Cheng had been through countless storms, but he could not help but feel agitated at this moment. He gripped the wheelchair’s armrest tightly and barely managed to maintain his composure. However, he still exposed some anticipation and nervousness in his voice. “Is what you said true? You just need a week to prepare my exoskeleton equipment?”
“That’s right!” Huo Tian placed her hands on her hips proudly and puffed up her chest. “I’m the greatest genius in this world. I’ll keep to my word and never lie!”
Xi Cheng felt that Huo Tian’s appearance was really cute. Although she looked exceptionally childish, she unexpectedly gained Xi Cheng’s trust.
Xi Cheng sighed and said, “I hope it’ll be like we expected, that I’ll be able to really stand up and slowly recover to my previous standard.”
Xi Cheng probably really liked Huo Tian and Si Huan. After they were done with the serious matters, he continued to chat idly with the two of them for a while before letting the servant see them out.
This servant had probably served Xi Cheng for a long time, so he had the guts to say some heartfelt words to Huo Tian and Si Huan.
When Huo Tian and Si Huan were about to get into the car, the servant called out to Huo Tian, “Miss Huo, please hold on.”
Huo Tian turned her head in confusion. “Is there anything else?”
The servant bowed slightly and said in a pleading tone, “Miss Huo, although it’s not appropriate for me to say such things given my status, I’m still sincerely begging you to work hard to make the exoskeleton equipment for Master. In order to stand up, Master has been tormenting himself for a long time.”
Huo Tian nodded blankly. “Of course I’ll do my best to make Mr. Xi’s exoskeleton equipment. Mr. Xi is our company’s biggest customer. I wouldn’t dare to treat Mr. Xi’s order halfheartedly…”
The servant shook his head and continued, “No, Miss Huo Tian, you’ve misunderstood what I mean. I mean, please make a piece of exoskeleton equipment that can let Master stand up and walk freely. Otherwise, Master will definitely be very sad after experiencing despair again.”
“I don’t understand,” Huo Tian said in confusion. “Actually, even without the help of the exoskeleton equipment, as long as Mr. Xi can seriously follow the doctor’s plan and undergo rehabilitation training, he will be able to regain his mobility in one or two years. Although he won’t be able to run and jump as freely as he did in the past, he will still be able to walk with a walking stick.. I think this is enough for a patient who has been paralyzed for many years.”
