Reunion

Chapter 33: Reunion

In his original world, Wang Yue rarely went out. When he did, it was usually for company team-building events. Back then, he played with a carefree spirit. Even with children in the group, he'd only occasionally play with them. This trip, however, Wang Yue was truly exhausted.

In a photo taken at the Ten Thousand Buddha Grotto of the Longmen Grottoes, Wang Yue had a large bundle on his back, with a big thermos on each side. Princess Yuan Yuan sat on his shoulders, pointing at the Buddha cave for her mother, her little legs excitedly kicking.

Many photos along the way were like this. Fortunately, in this world, Wang Yue hadn't neglected his exercise, otherwise, he might not have even been able to complete this trip.

Traveling from west to east, while visiting the Shaolin Temple, Wang Yue kept worrying that a kind-faced eminent monk might say to him, "Benefactor, judging by your countenance, it seems you've had a powerful being defy fate for you! It would be best to join our Buddhist order and resolve your karma."

Fortunately, nothing of the sort happened. After praying, Ruan Wan also offered a thick sum of incense money. Wang Yue asked her what she prayed for, but Ruan Wan just smiled and didn't tell him.

Yuan Yuan, his little padded jacket, happily said she had made a wish. Wang Yue asked her what she wished for. The little padded jacket said, "I wished for the Great Buddha to give me a kindergarten. Anyone who cries anymore won't be allowed in."

The family of three played until they reached Li Weijuan's hometown. Li Weijuan guided them, and the trip officially concluded when Zhang Yang and Liu Lei arrived.

After washing up at the hotel, Wang Yue felt he must have lost a few pounds on this trip. However, when he weighed himself in the hotel gym, he had actually gained weight! It was incredible.

Through Zhang Yang's explanation, Wang Yue learned that Li Weijuan's return to Nanhe had another hidden reason.

Li Weijuan met a rich second-generation heir named He Yi at a party. They quickly started dating, or at least, that's what Li Weijuan thought.

The rich second-generation heir seemed quite nice. He often sent flowers to her company and picked her up and dropped her off from work.

However, it wasn't long before Xu Kaiyang, who was looking for Zheng Wei at her company, saw them. He told Zheng Wei that the man was a playboy. He was generous with money as long as you didn't talk about the future with him. He asked Zheng Wei to advise Juanzi.

Lost in her romance, Li Weijuan didn't believe it. Because of this, Juanzi and Zheng Wei had a falling out.

When Xu Kaiyang heard about it, he felt he had been reckless. However, he didn't want Li Weijuan to be deceived in love, so he and Zheng Wei took Li Weijuan to a bar He Yi frequented.

Li Weijuan saw He Yi carousing there with her own eyes. She realized she had wronged Zheng Wei, but she couldn't face her friend, so she decided to go back to her hometown.

"I understand why Sister Li is returning home, but what about you two!" Wang Yue asked Zhang Yang and Liu Lei, looking puzzled.

"Second Brother has a crush on Juanzi, but I don't!" the chubby Liu Lei quickly waved his hands.

"Then why are you here?" Wang Yue asked, confused.

"Me, I have a high school classmate who works here. I met her during a blind date last Lunar New Year!" Fourth Brother Liu Lei said sheepishly. However, the smug look in his eyes, despite his shy, chubby face, betrayed him.

"Fourth Brother, you actually kept this from me! Let us see!" Zhang Yang was furious. This guy had kept secrets from him! Such a lack of brotherhood.

"That's a bit much! You've been heartbroken over Sister Li every day, do you think I'd dare say anything! Believe me, ask Third Brother, he knows too!" Liu Lei immediately protested. He cared deeply about his brothers. A lifetime, two brothers.

"Alright, it's my fault." Zhang Yang realized he had wrongly accused Fourth Brother and felt quite embarrassed. He had been so consumed by his own sadness that he hadn't paid attention to his brothers' affairs.

"Tomorrow, we'll go choose a location for the company together. Bring Fourth Brother's wife along," Wang Yue said, genuinely happy for the chubby guy. He had actually thought Liu Lei would be the last one to find a partner, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

"Okay. My girlfriend suggested we go to Longzi Lake. She said the new university town there is being developed by the government and is very suitable for our company's base," the chubby Liu Lei advised Wang Yue. It seemed he had done his research.

"Yes, Boss, that place is good. It's surrounded by universities, and the environment is nice! It's a bit remote, though. But transportation is very convenient!" Zhang Yang added.

"We'll ask Sister Li later. If she's okay with it, we'll go there!" Wang Yue nodded in agreement with their opinions. After all, Li Weijuan would be the branch manager here, so her opinion was crucial.

"Okay!" Zhang Yang, like a sycophant, couldn't get up.

"Okay!" Liu Lei seemed indifferent. His mind was already with his girlfriend.

When Ruan Wan came out after their private chat with Li Weijuan, she heard the three of them discussing their university classmates and what they were up to.

It was mainly Zhang Yang and Liu Lei talking, with Wang Yue listening. When Ruan Wan came out, she also listened with great interest. After Li Weijuan joined them, she also mentioned a few female classmates and where they had ended up, but most had gotten married.

During this process, Li Weijuan also learned about Liu Lei's suggested location. After thinking about it carefully, she realized it was very close to the main road home, making it convenient to visit. So, they decided to go there tomorrow.

"The housing prices there aren't cheap. Is your money enough to buy how much?" Li Weijuan, upon hearing that Wang Yue wanted to buy a property for their company, was most concerned about practical matters.

"I stopped worrying about money three years ago!" Wang Yue said this with a very calm tone. His aura at that moment had a touch of Xiao Nai's charm.

The two brothers from the dorm and Li Weijuan all looked at him as if he was bragging now and would be slapped in the face tomorrow. Only Ruan Wan was there, covering her mouth and giggling.

Seeing Ruan Wan's reaction, Li Weijuan knew something must have happened that they were unaware of.

"Ruan Ruan, hurry up and tell me! What did Old Wang do to get rich again!" Li Weijuan hugged Ruan Wan tightly, threatening to tickle her if she didn't tell.

"Okay, okay!" Ruan Wan quickly surrendered. She saw Yuan Yuan playing and rushing over to join them, so she didn't dare to tease anymore.

Wang Yue went over, picked up his daughter, and kissed her. The little girl giggled in her father's arms.

Seeing her daughter in her father's arms, Ruan Wan finally felt relieved and said, "Don't you remember? When we were starting the Studio, Wang Yue was always programming. He was busy with this. He sold the software to Big Penguin and ICBC three years ago."

"No, it wasn't Weixin, was it?!" Liu Lei took out his phone and pointed at Weixin on the screen.

"Yes, it was this one!" Wang Yue nodded.

"Oh my god!" Zhang Yang

"Holy crap!" Liu Lei

"..." Li Weijuan covered her mouth.

"Boss, then let's buy a whole building!" Zhang Yang suddenly exclaimed.

"We already have one, but it's in the suburbs of Magic City. That will be the headquarters for Aesthetic Design in the future. It was a bank foreclosure, so it was cheap for me. Once our Aesthetic scale is sufficient, we'll move there," Wang Yue said, still looking calm.

Actually, after selling the software shares, he was so excited he couldn't sleep for a week, making his professor worry something had happened at home.

However, he later thought that in the real world, he was still a pauper, and his excitement immediately subsided.

Alas, so sad!
