Chapter 297 - Little Kid, Im In (2/2)

Xue Sheng looked at the old patriarch and realized that he was indeed filled with worry.

Although the old patriarch was very selfish and wanted Xue Sheng to manage the company well, they were biologically father and son after all. The old patriarch still hoped that Xue Sheng would become better.

Xue Sheng did not hide it from him. “Mhm. The early stages are indeed a little difficult, but it should get better later.”

The old patriarch wanted to speak but hesitated. In the end, he sighed. “Aren’t you just concerned about competing with us? Oh, Son. Sigh!”

Xue Sheng had indeed given up on the industry because of this.

After all, they were his biological parents and he had to give them a living. Moreover, it was inevitable that if they were in the same industry, they’d get entangled. He wanted to completely separate from the old mansion.

Xue Sheng did not speak, but Old Master Xue continued, “But the pharmaceutical industry is very difficult. I heard that you’ve already invested a lot of money in scientific research. Research can only be seen as an investment and not something that produces revenue. You have to think carefully. This is a path of no return.”

Xue Sheng nodded. “Don’t worry, Dad. I know what to do.”

Seeing how certain he was, Old Master Xue did not say anything more. He thought that Xiang Huai would help.

But how could Xue Sheng ask Xiang Huai for help?

After exchanging a few more words at home, Xue Sheng and Ye Li bade them goodbye. On the way home, Xue Sheng received a call while driving.

Ye Li answered the call and turned on the speaker.

Xiao Song said, “Mr. Xue, the year-end bonus has been distributed, but the company doesn’t have much liquidity left. Research is really too expensive!”

Xue Sheng comforted her. “It’s fine. Don’t be afraid. If we don’t invest in the early stages, there won’t be any benefits. I’ll settle the money problem!”

Xiao Song nodded and continued, “The chemists are almost done researching, but it’s very difficult to produce the D-acid that you want. So far, no one has been able to develop it. It might require more time and more money.”

“Okay, got it.”

After hanging up, Ye Li asked, “Are you out of money?”

Research was the most expensive part.

Xue Sheng smiled. “It’s fine. Don’t worry.”

Although he said this, he was actually unsure. It had only been a month, and tens of millions had already been invested, but there was no result. In another half a month, if there was still no progress, it would probably be very difficult to apply for a loan from the bank.

Was the company going to go bankrupt as soon as it was established?

Why was it so hard to be a lunatic?

Looking at him, Ye Li knew that he did not want her to worry. Hence, she smiled. “You don’t have to worry about the family’s expenses. I have money here.”

Xue Sheng changed the topic. “We have to hurry back. There are only Xiao Xiang and Xue Xi at home. We can’t let Xiao Xiang do anything to our daughter while we’re not around!”

Ye Li’s expression turned serious. “… Yes, Xixi is still young!”

Then—

When they reached home, they realized that the living room was empty.

Meanwhile, Xue Xi’s bedroom upstairs made a sound.

Xue Sheng’s face darkened as he looked at Ye Li.

The two of them hurriedly went upstairs and stood at the door to listen in. They heard a conversation:

Xue Xi’s voice was very cold. “This is my first time. Go slower.”

Xiang Huai’s voice was seductive. “Alright, I’ll be gentler…”

“Mhm, I’m ready.”

“Little kid, I’m coming in… Relax…”
