Another Three Years

Chapter 32: Another Three Years

General Manager's Office, Aesthetic Design (Capital) Co., Ltd.

"A'Yue, Glory is about to launch. Did you get the copyright from the Great God of Qidian?" Ruan Wan asked Wang Yue on the phone while busy with her work.

"Mhm, I got it. You forgot, we have cooperation with Big Penguin too!" Wang Yue reminded Wan Wan from the other end of the line.

"Oh, oh. I know, I thought you sold Weixin to get such a large sum of money." Ruan Wan stuck out her tongue, reminiscing about her younger self.

"Wanwan, you're so dumb for three years after giving birth. Where's Yuan Yuan?" Wang Yue felt speechless. After coming to the capital, they had their daughter Yuan Yuan not long after. Ever since their daughter was born, Wang Yue hadn't felt the warmth of his little cotton-padded jacket before losing more than half of his wife's attention.

Wang Yue hadn't expected that his family status would be ranked last by his little cotton-padded jacket.

Three years ago, Wang Yue came to Qing University and established Weixin Communications Co., Ltd. with Weixin, which he had developed over the years. Later, he sold most of the shares to ICBC and Big Penguin. Big Penguin was responsible for the subsequent development, and Wang Yue withdrew.

After cashing out this large sum of money, Wang Yue felt he still needed to arrange a career for Ruan Wan, as being a housewife would easily make someone useless.

Following Wang Yue's old rule, he directly bought a whole floor and let Ruan Wan establish Aesthetic Design (Capital) Co., Ltd. In the beginning, they still needed talent dispatched from Zheng Wei's side. Now, its scale has reached that of the Guangzhou headquarters.

Wang Yue originally wanted to develop Great God Xiao Nai's A Chinese Ghost Story 2. However, after some investigation, he found out that they were already making it.

He then thought of another drama by Xiao Nai, contacted the original author, discussed the novel, and settled the copyright issues. He then established Glory Technology, which had Xiao Nai's game engine, and the game progressed rapidly.

Now that the novel was a huge hit, Wang Yue was also preparing to launch this game. Then Wang Yue could retire successfully, hand over the company to the professional manager, General Manager Feng, and continue his doctoral studies with peace of mind.

"If there's nothing else, shall we go pick up Yuan Yuan from kindergarten? She's been asking for Mom and Dad to pick her up together for a long time." Ruan Wan knew there was nothing to worry about from her husband's end and immediately thought of their daughter.

"Okay, wait for me to arrange things. I'll have General Manager Feng follow up, and then I'll go into seclusion." Wang Yue also felt he was finally free.

Wang Yue drove to Aesthetic Design to pick up Ruan Wan. After greeting the receptionist, he walked straight in, causing the two young ladies at the front desk to whisper.

"Is this President Ruan's husband? He seems quite ordinary!"

"He and President Ruan are classmates, and he's pursuing his doctorate!"

"That's still a big difference. When he graduates, he'll only be middle management."

"You're wrong. This person founded the headquarters of Aesthetic Design!"

"Ah, that's not bad. I thought he was a freeloader!"

"You really think that way!"

Wang Yue shook his head. It seemed that the halo he got from Xiao Nai had no effect at all.

He passed by the design department, greeted some familiar junior students, and pushed open Ruan Wan's office door.

Ruan Wan looked up and saw Wang Yue, then continued to busy herself with her work, wanting to finish it quickly.

Wang Yue didn't disturb her. He sat on the sofa not far from her and watched her.

After a while, Ruan Wan's face was flushed. She glanced charmingly at Wang Yue, "Haven't you seen enough? We're at the company!"

"I could never see enough in a lifetime!" Wang Yue said shamelessly, his skin thick.

Ruan Wan saw that she couldn't work anymore today, so she closed the file, turned off the computer, and stood up.

Wang Yue walked to the coat rack, picked up her coat and bag, and handed them to her. Ruan Wan took them naturally, and they left the company together.

On the way to the kindergarten, Ruan Wan complained to Wang Yue, "Honey, how many years has it been? Aren't you tired of studying yet!"

"Learning is never enough, no matter how many years! It's just finding something to do for myself, otherwise, life would be meaningless." Wang Yue's serious expression made Ruan Wan smile and shake her head.

"Our life is peaceful, and I feel very happy." Ruan Wan's autumn-like eyes gazed at Wang Yue, as if she wanted to drown him. "Zheng Wei's side is incredibly exciting. I also heard that Zheng Wei's childhood sweetheart and first love have returned. Poor Xu Kaiyang is almost at his wit's end with Zheng Wei, and now there are more complications."

"Really? I haven't paid attention lately. What about Xiao Bei and the others?" Wang Yue said casually while concentrating on driving.

"Xiao Bei is preparing to accompany Wei Wei, and Juanzi is preparing to return to Nanhe Province!" Ruan Wan said with some regret. They would truly be separated by vast distances now.

"What's there to regret? Even without flying, high-speed rail is so fast. It's only 4 hours to Li Jie's place." Wang Yue suddenly felt something was wrong. "Zhang Yang and Liu Lei also said they're returning to their hometowns. It couldn't be for Juanzi, could it?"

"You're only realizing this now!" Ruan Wan covered her mouth and chuckled. Her husband was always slow to react to emotional matters. She thought about that time she got drunk and didn't want to think about it anymore; it was too embarrassing.

"I need to help the two brothers. How about letting the three of them establish a branch company in Nanhe Province too!" Wang Yue said after some thought.

"Is that okay?" Ruan Wan asked doubtfully.

"It should be. Li Jie probably can't advance further while staying at the company, which is why she's doing this. You discuss it with Zheng Wei, have Li Jie establish a branch company in Nanhe, and pick a location. I'll buy it." Wang Yue made the final decision.

"Okay, honey, you're the best. This way, they won't be separated." Ruan Wan's mood instantly improved.

"The two brothers didn't mention it to me. Otherwise, we could have opened it long ago!" Wang Yue sighed, feeling that the brotherhood of their dorm mates wasn't as close as he thought.

"That's not true. They were also afraid of making things difficult for you!" Ruan Wan comforted Wang Yue understandingly.

"I know. I'm just sighing. By the way, when will you be free from your work? Let's take our daughter to play." Wang Yue changed the subject.

"Where should we go play?" Ruan Wan was also tempted.

"Let's go to Nanhe, and buy a house there!" Wang Yue thought.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Then I'll call Wei Wei and have her tell Juanzi." Ruan Wan said as she picked up her phone.

Parking the car in the kindergarten's parking space, Wang Yue gestured for Ruan Wan to continue her call and went to pick up their daughter himself. Because they had communicated in advance, as soon as Wang Yue arrived at the kindergarten entrance, little Wang Yuan ran out.

In Wang Yue's arms, the little girl kept telling him about the interesting things that happened today. Wang Yue listened patiently, sometimes having to respond, otherwise, she would ask what he was talking about. He didn't know when she developed this sensitive habit.

After picking up Yuan Yuan, Ruan Wan immediately hung up the phone, confirming Wang Yue's family status once again. He helplessly shook his head and sighed.

He remembered that the two-child policy was implemented in 2016. They should start preparing in the next year or two to have another child. He didn't believe his position could fall any lower.
