A car drove into a driveway, and this standalone villa located in the city is Wu Mian's home. "Sir, Miss, you're back," the butler Uncle Kun and the maid A Si came to greet them.
Wu Mian got out of the car, casually threw the bag on the sofa, and went upstairs. A Si picked up the bag, while Wu Yuchen muttered, "It's getting more and more outrageous." Then a person went to the study, turned on the computer, and Wu Yuchen stared at the computer screen, touching his beard, with a smile on his lips. Upstairs, Wu Mian held his phone, his eyes fixed on Chou Jie's number. In the pitch-black night, this father and daughter sat in their own rooms, each with their own thoughts. But they shared a common goal, which was to plot against Chou Jie.
The sunlight streamed through the blinds as Chou Jie had already finished getting ready and was sitting in front of the computer reading financial news. Suddenly, the phone rang, and Chou answered it. He came to the kitchen and saw the breakfast I had prepared, then embraced me tightly. "Hey, my apron is covered in oil, big guy," I tried to push him away, but he held on even tighter. He murmured, "My Xiao Peng, I am so happy. I will take you out for a big meal when I come back." Then, he grabbed a piece of bread, stuffed it into his mouth, and gulped down a big glass of milk. "Big guy, slow down. No one is competing with you. Don't choke," I patted his back.
"I must finish the breakfast you made," he said after finishing, then kissed me passionately and hurriedly put on his coat and rushed downstairs. "Come back soon!" I closed the door, with bread crumbs from his breakfast still on my lips, immersed in this hurried morning.
Chou Jie arrived at the company, where Wu Yuchen and Wu Mian had been waiting for a long time.
"Please have a seat, both of you. I apologize for keeping you waiting for so long," Chou Jie said as he handed them freshly brewed tea. He eagerly began reviewing the contract brought by Wu Yuchen. As he read, Chou Jie's bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and he furrowed his brow. He bit his lip, glanced at Wu Yuchen and Wu Mian, and continuously flipped through the contract. Meanwhile, Wu Yuchen took out a cigar from his pocket, lit it, and started smoking. He looked at Chou Jie who was focused on the contract, with a sly smile on his face, as if a wolf was eyeing a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Seeing this, Chou Jie suddenly looked up, immediately dropping the sly smile and adopting a sincere and serious expression as he asked, "Manager Chou, this is the contract that the company's employees have been working day and night to finalize, in order to present it to you as soon as possible and expedite the collaboration."
"Mr. Wu, forgive me for being blunt, but this contract..." Chou Jie looked calmly at Wu Yuchen.
"My company needs to achieve 50 times the highest profit since its inception every year, otherwise it will have to compensate at a price 50 times the company's market value. Mr. Wu, do you know that at the peak, our company's net profit reached 200 million RMB? This means that going forward, the company needs to ensure a net profit of 10 billion RMB every year, otherwise it will face compensation at 50 times the company's market value. Although the company has just gone public not long ago, it still means a compensation in the billions. This is completely a gambling agreement!" After saying this, Chou Jie took a sip of tea and silently looked at Wu Yuchen and Wu Mian.
Wu Mian listened and looked at Wu Yuchen in surprise, then immediately explained, "Manager Chou, Yufei Group is prepared to invest one billion in your company. Your company's listing is also for better financing, to strive for greater benefits, and to make the company bigger and stronger. Manager Chou, you are a practical person, and we all know Yufei's strength. With Yufei's strong alliance, I believe profitability is just a matter of time." Wu Mian did not expect Wu Yuchen to be so ruthless. She said these words lightly, but in her heart, it felt like a weight had been lifted.
"Why, why choose me, why choose to invest in us, why should this good thing happen to me, Chou Jie?" Chou Jie was not shocked or scared by the billions in compensation and the billion-dollar investment in front of him. Instead, he started to calculate with Wu Yuchen.
"We..." Wu Mian began to explain, but was immediately silenced by a kick under the table from Wu Yuchen.
"Based on the background and strength of our old friendship, to be honest, Yufei Group was co-founded by me and Wu Mian's mother. At that time, you were still very young, and Wu Mian had not been born yet. I was a friend of your father. Wu Mian's mother passed away early, and I have long known about your involvement in this industry. I have always wanted to visit and pay my respects. You are talented and promising, Manager Chou, with the same grace as your father in his youth. This collaboration must be achieved, no matter what!" With that, Wu Yuchen took out a photo of himself and Chou Jie's father and handed it to Chou Jie.
Chou Jie took the photo and looked at the picture of his father and Wu Yuchen with their arms around each other's shoulders, smiling brightly. Wu Yuchen put down his cigar and said solemnly, "This is a photo of your father and me doing business in Guangzhou. At that time, Yufei was just a small factory. Thanks to your father giving us more orders to work on, Yufei is where it is today."
Chou Jie couldn't believe it. When he was young, his father often went on business trips, and he rarely saw his father at home. Later, his mother passed away from illness, and his father raised him alone, only to pass away soon after. Chou Jie couldn't believe it. Over the years, he had been struggling alone in the cutthroat business world, like a lone soldier on a frozen battlefield, with no family by his side. Seeing the photo, Chou Jie felt a pang in his heart and immediately stood up.
At this moment, Wu Yuchen took out a watch, which was his father's watch. It was a birthday gift that Chou Jie bought for his father with his own saved money when he was three years old. He even engraved his own name on the back of the watch. Later, when the watch was gone, his father said he gave the watch to an uncle who needed it more. Chou Jie knew that his father wouldn't easily give this watch to someone else, so this person must be important to him.
"At that time, when we were doing business and my small business had just started, I was always late for meetings with clients. Your father gave me this watch. I can't express how grateful I was. Since then, I have never been late for anything, for the sake of the brotherhood we have built over the years. Later, he returned to the north, and our contact became less frequent."
Chou Jie looked at the watch and the photo, as if seeing the figure of his father, and also remembered his childhood. Chou Jie was moved to tears and excitedly grabbed Wu Yuchen's hand, calling out "Uncle Wu!"
Seeing this, Wu Yuchen quickly embraced Chou Jie and patted his shoulder, saying, "Young man, you've been through a lot!"
Chou Jie almost shed tears.
Seeing this, Wu Mian quickly picked up the contract and handed it to Chou Jie, saying, "Manager Chou, please reconsider the contract. I didn't expect us to have such a deep connection. It's fate."
Chou Jie looked at the contract and suddenly calmed down. He looked at the contract with a troubled expression and said, "Uncle Wu, please leave the contract with me for now. The details of our cooperation need to be discussed and decided by the company. Today is the happiest day for me. I never expected to meet my father's dear friend again after so long since his passing. I don't have many relatives, so meeting you today, Uncle, not only as an elder but also as a senior, feels like meeting a long-lost family member. Let's continue our conversation at Toe. I'll treat you. Let's go!"
And so, Wu Yuchen, Wu Mian, and Chou Jie headed to the Toe shopping mall once again.
