When the Phone Rings

Part 20

"Child, you are here."Her mother-in-law's elegant voice made Xizhu straighten her back quickly.This is the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel.The in-laws, with whom she still had a difficult time getting along, sat picturesquely. Xizhu couldn't help but swallow.water."I didn't expect you to come too?"The mother-in-law's eyes slowly moved to the tall Bai Siyan."Can't I come?""When I say I want you to come, that's not what I'm saying when you're dead or alive.""Stop by for a meal.""By the way? Is there anything you can do in the hotel 'by the way'?""How come there isn't?"The atmosphere was as cold as ever. In fact, since Bai Siyan joined in, the situation has become more...Feeling on pins and needles.

There is only one rule to follow here.Shut up and eat quietly.'This is what I do best...!'As soon as they sat down, the husband and father-in-law immediately entered into a political discussion.Father-in-law Bai Yilong didn't even look at her.As a symbol of the cooperation signal sent by "Shan Jing Daily", he doesn't care about these details at all.At this time, the mother-in-law put down her chopsticks."I haven't seen you for a while, so I've picked up a lot of bad habits."Xizhu panicked and looked up to see her mother-in-law's stern eyes."What kind of rule is it to just play with your mobile phone at the dinner table?"

Fortunately, the mother-in-law's eyes bypassed Xizhu."Waiting for a call.""...!"It was her husband who answered. Xizhu almost choked on her saliva.He had been paying attention to his silent cell phone.Every time a call came, he would confirm the number and then reject the call one by one.Despite the long-lost family dinner, Bai Siyan paid more attention to his mobile phone than his parents, as if his hands and eyes wereCan't live without that thing.Of course the mother-in-law opposite would not be unaware of this situation.'Could it be that the call you are waiting for is...'Xizhu felt her mouth was dry, so she picked up the water glass and drank it."Is it that important?""Yes."Bai Siyan replied coldly.

His mother looked at his cold face for a moment, then picked up the chopsticks again.Just as he was swiping the screen to reject the call again, the mother-in-law who was serving her husband ginseng stew brought someHe said helplessly:"You're still so immature.""...."At this time, Bai Siyan finally turned his attention to his mother."It seems that everything I taught you has been forgotten a long time ago. Staring at the phone all day long, this time anyThe business must have been messed up. Isn't it?""It's not that.""Isn't it? Look at yourself. On my platform, I teach that impatience is a barrier to communication.hinder. ""...."

"With your temper, why...the last thing you know how to do is empathy. If you were not my son,I'm afraid it has been eliminated long ago. "Bai Siyan just turned his neck expressionlessly, as if silently agreeing."Opening the mouth of a serial killer ultimately relies on communication skills."Xizhu pricked up her ears silently.In the past, the words of my mother-in-law, who was active as a negotiator, made me pay more attention."But you, your expression when you received that phone call was like..."The mother-in-law stopped her chopsticks, as if she was thinking about the words."It's like wanting to go on a killing spree."

"...!"Hee Joo, who was eavesdropping, was so frightened that she clenched her napkin."You might think that's a strong strategy, but it's not at all.""....""Actually, it was just an indiscreet act that would trigger a retaliation. I really don't understand how you knew this.Why do you still do this? "Suddenly, Xizhu remembered the moment when Bai Siyan hung up the phone unilaterally.That incident caused the kidnappers to explode, and Xizhu almost vented her anger online."In negotiations, if you are tough you will win, if you are weak you will lose. This is a complete misunderstanding. All my lifeThey are all teaching this, but my son ignores it. "The mother-in-law shook her head exaggeratedly."Negotiations without trust will not be successful.""....""Do you really know the person on that phone call?""This is not something that is easy to say.""Here's a guy who makes a career out of this."
