After hearing this, the mother expressed her impatience, as her son always spoke to her in this manner, which was completely different from the typical mother-son relationship. Other mothers and sons might check in on each other during phone calls, asking about their well-being or if they had eaten, but for these two, every conversation felt like a playful argument.
She said, "I tell you, you little brat, it’s not like you’re asking us for help right now. Don’t you realize how pitiful you’ll be when you actually need us? We invested everything we had into that studio of yours, and now that you've achieved a little success, you start to look down on us. You promised me that once the studio was established, you would call me 'Sister.' Have you forgotten about that? You little brat!
If you've forgotten, I’ll quickly take back all my money. If you can’t do it, then just follow my instructions."
At this moment, Xu Shen immediately changed his tone. Although he didn’t want to act this way, he knew he couldn’t show fear. If he did, he might soon find himself unemployed. His mother often joked around, but she could also be very decisive when she wanted to be. She meant what she said; if she was in a bad mood one day, she might actually follow through on her threats, leaving him unprepared and in a terrible situation.
So he quickly adjusted his tone and humbly admitted his mistake. "I was just joking with you; didn’t you realize? I’ve already promised you—I wouldn’t go back on my word. Just wait and see how I perform next time we’re in a crowd together. After all, we’re just on the phone right now; calling you 'Sister' doesn’t mean anything since no one can hear it. So next time we’re out together in public, I’ll fulfill your wish—you’ll see how youthful I can be.
You didn’t call me today just to discuss this 'Sister' issue; there must be something else on your mind. Don’t waste my time! My time is valuable too. Just because you think your time is precious doesn’t mean mine isn’t—especially for someone like me who has so much to accomplish and so many software projects to create."
After hearing this, his mother cleared her throat and said, "Since that’s the case, I’ll get straight to the point. I recently took on a project that requires your help. If you can assist me, that would be great. The most important aspect of this project is attracting young people like you, so I really need someone young to help me out. If I were to hire someone else, it would cost me a lot more.
You know I’m not one to waste money unnecessarily; I believe it’s better not to spend on things that aren’t needed. Besides, we have someone right here who can help—why not make use of that? If you help me with this favor, it will significantly boost your reputation at work as well. It’s a win-win situation; don’t let this opportunity slip by."
