After finishing his work, Wu Ming arranged to have dinner with a few former colleagues, free from being led by Jiang Yizhou and following his approach to software development. Although he had lost a lot of future profits, he was clear about his own abilities.
If he forced himself to persist, it wouldn't necessarily lead to any achievements.
Developing software was still a better option. If successful, based on the results investigated by his subordinates, since the first internet café opened in Beijing last November, more than a dozen had opened in the past few months. It was a brand new market with good prospects, especially with the improvement of internet speed and the increase in online users.
Next, he needed to talk to Jiang Yizhou about establishing a new company focused on research and sales of software as soon as possible.
“Lao Wu, you’re here! Sit down! You’re on a fast track now!” Lu Yin exclaimed upon seeing Wu Ming arrive, immediately pulling him to sit down and starting to chatter. They all knew that Wu Ming had been brought into Zhengyi Technology by Jiang Yizhou to create something new.
“What fast track! I jumped off the car myself,” Wu Ming waved his hand dismissively.
This piqued the curiosity of several colleagues. Lu Yin, being talkative, asked, “What’s going on?”
Wu Ming had nothing to hide and explained everything. “I just couldn’t adapt to him—Jiang Yizhou’s various ideas and the rigid work environment; it only had a slight effect at first.”
“What happened afterward?”
“Later, Jiang Yizhou found another talent, Zhang Xiaolong, who developed Fail. I felt it was meaningless to stay there any longer, so I made it clear to Jiang Yizhou that I wanted to retain some equity and start my own business back home!”
Wu Ming had it all planned out. Soon he would approach Jiang Yizhou to discuss founding another company, seeking investment from him while using his own technical expertise as equity for about 10%. The first project would be an internet café management system.
The others exchanged glances, surprised by this outcome.
...
After leaving the learning institution, Jiang Yizhou sighed deeply. Besides learning some daily living tips from Song Rushi, he decided to take some courses. He didn’t expect to gain deep knowledge but wanted to familiarize himself with basic professional vocabulary so he wouldn’t be completely lost.
There were too many new English terms and specialized vocabulary; it felt like crossing mountains between different fields. For someone like Jiang Yizhou, who was used to understanding most Chinese expressions easily, this was quite a challenge.
Even if all management operations are delegated, one must still be able to understand the reports submitted by subordinates.
Upon returning to the apartment, Jiang Yizhou received an unexpected surprise, though it was only a slight one.
Opening the door, a strange woman appeared on the sofa in the apartment. Jiang Yizhou racked his brain but could not remember ever knowing this person.
"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Jiang Yizhou politely shook her hand and sat down, waiting for her to introduce herself.
Lu Feiyan had come here at the request of her niece and under her sister's instructions, primarily to ascertain the situation, as both requests were quite similar.
She did not expect that the target person was cohabiting with another woman, but seeing her calm demeanor eased Lu Feiyan's suspicions considerably.
"Hello, I am Ding Zhengnan's aunt, Lu Feiyan. She asked me to check on how you are doing!" Lu Feiyan introduced herself confidently.
Is she starting to use her girlfriend's essential skills? Jiang Yizhou felt a sudden aversion but maintained his smile. "Life is fine; there's no problem. My roommate, Sister Ru Shi, has taught me a lot. I'm slowly learning how to live here without you needing to worry!"
That was a pointed remark. Upon hearing this, Lu Feiyan began to understand her sister's concerns; the attitudes of both parties were indeed somewhat unequal.
This person's attitude towards Ding Zhengnan's absence seemed indifferent. Even if there were various reasons for living with someone else, there should be some explanation rather than the current lack of any intention to clarify!
During her time living with Ding Zhengnan, she had fully understood Ding Zhengnan's feelings for him; she had invested wholeheartedly at first.
"I think Mr. Jiang should pay attention; if you are living with another woman, it would be best to explain things clearly to Ding Zhengnan. Otherwise, if any unpleasantness arises, it won't be good!" Lu Feiyan advised him as politely as possible.
However, as the saying goes, it's easier to change mountains and rivers than one's nature. "You needn't worry about that. Is there something you need? If not," Jiang Yizhou pointed towards the door, making his intentions clear.
Finally, Lu Feiyan left with a parting remark that Ding Zhengnan would come to San Francisco next Friday and shared her number before leaving in displeasure.
Jiang Yizhou had always been someone whose emotions were easily influenced; sometimes he would feel inexplicably upset and would argue with others over minor issues. When he was in a good mood, he could easily forgive someone who accidentally hit him.
Dating and marriage are indeed full of pitfalls. If I were to get married, I would definitely sign a prenuptial agreement and set clear terms with my partner. I can compromise on many things, but this is one matter that cannot be compromised.
Ultimately, what kind of feelings does Jiang Yizhou have for Ding Zhengnan? Is it love? Is it gratitude? Upon careful reflection, Jiang Yizhou realizes that it is indeed the latter. This is the first time a girl has been willing to do so much for him; feeling touched is inevitable. However, his heart, which is as hard as iron, has only been warmed but not completely melted or transformed into her image.
In his previous life, Jiang Yizhou was also someone who enjoyed reading online literature. He had tried writing a few times during breaks at work, but all ended in failure. He often pondered what kind of person he would become if he really were to be reborn.
Perhaps he would become a loser among the wealthy. Given his personality, life has already been quite difficult; if he were to be reborn and become rich, he would likely try to make a quick fortune, arrange various matters, engage in speculation, and stay at home indulging in the figurines and models he dared not buy before, along with the highest-end gaming computer setup. He might even buy out Qihang and become the most famous wealthy book lover on the site.
Because of this fantasy, he remembers Postal Market Tide and several periods of guaranteed profits in the Stock Market along with the Meme Stocks. He also recalls buying lottery tickets after the college entrance examination during the Olympics.
Now it seems he has that same feeling; he is occasionally tempted by speculative schemes in his mind. Even when faced with such favorable circumstances, he wants to retreat and do nothing. He maintains a distance from sincere girls, realizing that he is still the same loser from his previous life—except now he no longer has to struggle for a living.
