Turning the Tide with a Flick of His Hand

Turning the Tide with a Flick of His Hand

The two of them were so sickeningly sweet together that Wang Yue, who was used to flaunting his own relationship, simply dropped off the USB drive and took Ruan Wan back to see Little Yuan Yuan.

He hadn't seen her all day. He wondered if his little darling had missed her dad.

As it turned out, Little Yuan Yuan had already forgotten all about her dad.

When Wang Yue arrived at the amusement park, he spotted Zhu Xiaobei holding Little Yuan Yuan as they rode the Carousel. The park was filled with children's laughter, but Yuan Yuan's voice was the sweetest of all. He found them right away.

While Zhu Xiaobei and the family of three were enjoying themselves at the amusement park, Zheng Wei and Xu Kaiyang went straight to the local police station to report the theft of construction materials from a building site.

Because the amount involved was substantial, the case was transferred to the major crimes unit. The police quickly sprang into action, arrested the culprits, and interrogated them, obtaining crucial evidence.

They then submitted evidence to the procuratorate showing that two vice presidents of Dongfang Xingchen had purchased defective materials in bulk, along with evidence that the police had opened a case into the theft of materials from the construction site.

Manager Xu's father was released soon afterward, though the company was hit with a huge fine. The incident also caused Kaiyang Building Materials' market value to shrink considerably.

Manager Xu took it all in stride. When he heard that Xu Kaiyang had finally won Zheng Wei over, he burst out laughing and even gave Xu Kaiyang a thumbs-up, leaving everyone stunned.

"Manager Xu, I really admire your open-mindedness." Wang Yue meant it. Not everyone could stay so cheerful and magnanimous in a situation like this. No wonder he had raised such a sunny, cheerful son as Xu Kaiyang.

"I'm just trying to make the best of it! And I should be thanking you for finding the evidence. After this, I'll have to listen to Kaiyang. I'd rather make less money than let our quality control slip." Manager Xu sighed.

"Quality is a matter of life and death for a company. Being strict about it will benefit the company in the long run." Wang Yue nodded in agreement, then changed the subject. "Anyway, Zheng Wei is our company's general manager. You can't poach her."

"So you've figured out I'm thinking of stepping down?" Xu Kaiyang's father kept his expression neutral, though he was astonished inside. "It's a shame that girl Weiwei won't come over. Then Kaiyang will just have to keep trying. I'll keep an eye on him."

"They complement each other well," Wang Yue continued. "Our headquarters may move to Magic City. Kaiyang will probably come along, given his personality. So you're still a long way from retirement."

"You're impossible to figure out."

"Sometimes it's better not to know everything."

The two of them got along surprisingly well, which left Zheng Wei and the others watching from nearby utterly bewildered.

"Ruan Ruan, your Wang Yue's such a mystery. Can you keep him in check?" Zheng Wei asked Ruan Wan.

"Why does everything have to be crystal clear? Isn't this nice as it is?" Ruan Wan said unconcernedly.

"Exactly. As long as we're happy, that's what matters!" Zhu Xiaobei chimed in.

"I wish you weren't leaving," Zheng Wei said reluctantly. They'd only just gotten together again for a few days.

"Maybe the three of us will come visit again someday." Ruan Wan comforted her. "And about what happened this time—Wang Yue happened to find out that Zeng Yu is the daughter of Dongfang Xingchen's chairman. It seems she and Chen Xiaozheng are together."

"R-really?" Zheng Wei trembled slightly.

"And Lin Jing and his assistant, Shi Jie, have something going on too. He's not your Lin-gege anymore. Xu Kaiyang is a good guy. You should hold on to him. He's been devoted to you all these years. It's time to move on." Ruan Wan was still worried Zheng Wei would get confused again.

"I know, Mom Ruan!" Zheng Wei pouted, her limpid eyes glancing at Xu Kaiyang. As if sensing her gaze, he gave her a brilliant smile, just like he had all those years ago.

Ruan Wan and Zhu Xiaobei exchanged a glance, then shook their heads without a word.

Xu Kaiyang was chatting with Zhang Kai and the others. Han Wen noticed Zhang Kai kept sneaking glances at Ruan Wan, so he clinked glasses with him and said, "Old Zhang, see? My sister-in-law's still the same, and she's even prettier now. It's obvious she married for love. You should let it go."

"Yeah. Look at Wang Yue chatting so happily with my dad. He's never treated me like that!" Xu Kaiyang said admiringly.

"I know. I've already moved on. Wang Yue's generous and treats everyone well. Do you think I'm the kind of person who'd repay kindness with betrayal?" Zhang Kai rolled his eyes. He couldn't even steal a glance?

"I'm heading to Magic City. You guys keep at it here!" Xu Kaiyang said smugly.

"Good luck."

"Good luck!"

The three glasses clinked, and they each drained theirs.

Nothing unexpected happened on their trip back to the Capital City this time. When Wang Yue's family returned, Little Yuan Yuan had brought back a mountain of gifts. She was so happy that she said she'd come again tomorrow!

As soon as Wang Yue got back to the Capital City, Vice President Feng of Glory Technology came to see him. Although Wang Yue had told him to make all the decisions himself, he was still in the habit of asking for instructions first.

"Mr. Wang, about our game..." After exchanging pleasantries, Vice President Feng hadn't even finished explaining the game when Wang Yue cut him off.

"I told you last time. You can make all the decisions about the game. I trust you." Wang Yue's tone and expression were so convincing that anyone would have thought he meant it.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Wang!" Vice President Feng thought, Yeah, right. You just want to slack off again. After working together all these years, who didn't know him by now?

"Of course. I specifically recruited you. If I didn't trust you, why would I have?" Wang Yue sounded sincere this time. After all, he'd spent a fortune to bring Vice President Feng aboard because he valued his character and ability.

"I won't let you down, Mr. Wang!" Vice President Feng promptly pledged his loyalty.

"I know why you're here. Our cash flow should be more than sufficient. Handle everything else however you see fit, but you need to establish or acquire a subsidiary to research chips, processors, and the like. As long as the parent company keeps developing normally, don't be afraid to pour all our cash into it. I'm not short on money." Wang Yue rarely put on a show, so when he did, he had to go all out.

"That's quite a leap, but since that's what you want, I'll do as you say. It's just that we'll have to wait until we have enough cash..." Vice President Feng frowned. He couldn't understand why Wang Yue had suddenly made this decision. But he didn't finish his sentence, since they currently lacked the funds to enter those industries.

"Don't worry about that. I have a pool of idle funds. Get things started, and I'll transfer the money you need. You can handle the later research funding once you have enough money on your end." Wang Yue spoke boldly.

"Understood." Vice President Feng relaxed. It seemed the rumor that the boss was a shareholder in Weixin was probably true.

As soon as Glory's game launched, it attracted countless players. Before long, its exceptionally high degree of freedom made it a cash cow.

Meanwhile, Glory Technology quietly established a subsidiary called Xinyuan Technology. It would focus on researching chips, processors, and even EUV lithography machines. It had registered capital of ten billion, and ninety percent of Glory's profits would be invested in Xinyuan Technology.

As soon as the news was made public, game registrations surged. Even people who rarely played games created accounts and joined in. To borrow the words of one mischievous kid, "I'm not playing a game. I'm contributing to the chip industry."
