This Residential Area consists mostly of self-built houses, and there is still some visible planning, so it can still be considered a neighborhood.
Seeing Song Rushi standing at the intersection, Jiang Yizhou could only helplessly stop the car, get out, and ask with concern, "Didn't I tell you to stay put? Am I not going to your house?"
This concern arose from the child in her womb, extending to the mother as well, but that did not prevent Song Rushi from accepting this kind of care.
"What do you want to do at my house? To be honest, you don't care about your face, but I still care about mine!" Song Rushi found some confidence and coldly replied.
Even if one anticipates the sadness of the future, they will instinctively avoid it. This kind of avoidance is theoretically feasible because everyone will eventually die, and people will gradually forget many things. Once someone dies, everything is over—except for the people and matters they feel sorry for, whether they are dead or alive.
Song Rushi hurried out and waited at the intersection for a long time; her slightly thin clothing could not prevent the cold wind from stealing her warmth.
The woman's face was somewhat pale, and her slightly trembling body had already betrayed her condition.
Caught up in the excitement of good news, Jiang Yizhou paid no attention to her reprimanding words. Instead, he kindly took off his scarf and wrapped it around her neck. "If we're not going to your house, then where are we going? Get in the car first!"
He She Approached Cautiously supported the woman as if he were a eunuch serving a master. This drastic change made Song Rushi both want to laugh and feel a sense of being cherished, yet also somewhat confused.
What puzzled her was this man's thought process. How could a piece of news about pregnancy lead to such a significant change in him?
Noticing that Song Rushi seemed a bit dazed yet inexplicably smiling at times, Jiang Yizhou waved his hand in front of her eyes. "As such? As such?"
Smack...
Song Rushi seemed to realize her current importance like a panda that had gained awareness. Angrily swatting away Jiang Yizhou's hand, she said, "I'm not an endangered animal! Why are you doing this? Drive!"
Afterward, she felt a bit scared; her confidence in acting this way was entirely based on Jiang Yizhou's concern for the child in her belly rather than anything else.
"Alright then, I'm listening!" Jiang Yizhou quickly sat in the driver's seat and tilted his head back to ask, "Where are we going?"
"To that tea house!"
Jiang Yizhou remembered that place; it was too elegant and quiet. Even making a little noise felt inappropriate. He wasn't fond of places like that since he liked peace but often made noise himself. After that, he rarely went there; he preferred lounging behind his own floor-to-ceiling windows with a sun chair—it was much more comfortable. However, since she wanted to go there, he naturally agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, okay! Let's go there!" But after starting the car, he remained silent for a long time before awkwardly turning his head to ask, "How do we get there? Which direction should I go? I've only been there once and don't remember the way!"
Song Rushi pointed to the east and simply said, "Go east," before Anran sat down.
However, Jiang Yizhou had forgotten quite a bit of the route. Although the car was driving steadily on the road, Song Rushi had to guide him throughout the journey.
Having lost his former mystery and aloofness, Jiang Yizhou resembled a somewhat quirky soon-to-be father, with nothing particularly extraordinary about him.
Song Rushi looked at the man whose joy was evident and felt a sense of nostalgia; so you are just an ordinary person after all!
In the past, Jiang Yizhou's strong confidence and persistence had shrouded him in an air of mystery, but now he seemed more like an average person.
They booked a private room for two—one calm and subtle, the other vibrant and spirited.
Once inside the room, Jiang Yizhou didn’t wait for the tea to be served; he anxiously grabbed Song Rushi's hand and kept asking questions.
"Let go! Sit down, I want to talk to you properly!" Song Rushi increasingly found it hard to understand this man; perhaps his previous impression of him had been overly elevated!
Song Rushi took out a test report from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Yizhou, his face slightly flushed as he said, "Doctor, it should have been six weeks!"
Confirming the fact, Jiang Yizhou no longer doubted anything. Perhaps this was the first step in leaving his mark on this world?
A sense of belonging that he had never felt before surged within Jiang Yizhou.
……
At a routine board meeting at Yahoo, Bill Green was in high spirits.
He had obtained the authority to negotiate the sale of fail from Jiang Yizhou. Hearing about their private actions regarding fail's employees within Yahoo had previously worried Bill Green, but it turned out to be a strategic move. Since they were not interested in improving this product, it was better to let it go.
This made others ponder.
After the meeting adjourned, he called over Tim Koogle, the current head of Yahoo, saying, "Shall we discuss fail?"
Naturally, Tim Koogle, who had long coveted fail, readily agreed. Although there were alternative options, RKE Mail could not compare to fail's current standing. The millions of loyal users could bring substantial traffic and users to Yahoo, which excited him greatly.
However, Tony Jiang's ambiguous attitude was indeed puzzling. Although he had encountered such strange personalities before, it still gave him a headache. Therefore, he took some actions privately, which seemed to have yielded results.
"Based on the last negotiation, my boss has made a request to establish Yahoo China with funding from him, where he would be responsible for management, while Yahoo International would provide technical support," Bill Green stated directly.
The intention of his boss was clear; outside of China, the focus was mainly on investment, while managing the business within his home country would also benefit his own development. Who wouldn't want a boss who doesn't interfere too much?
"Yahoo China?" Tim Koogle paused for a moment before asking, "Are you referring to something like SoftBank's example?"
"Of course, Tony is very optimistic about Yahoo's development and appreciates the previous collaboration model between Yahoo and SoftBank. Tony has ample resources and connections in China, so..." Bill Green raised his eyebrows and shoulders, making his point clear.
So is this an exchange? Tim Koogle naturally understood, but the benefits and losses involved needed careful consideration.
"But isn't Tony running a portal website in China and has also invested in one?"
Bill Green explained, "There's no need to worry about that; Tony's focus is on Instant Messaging. The two sides will cooperate with each other. As for imitators, I believe Yahoo has enough courage to handle that."
Tim Koogle certainly couldn't disagree. "I agree in principle; let's have a pleasant cooperation!"
"Pleasant cooperation!"
