Chapter 1973: I Want to Be a Lucky One Too

When leaving the house this morning, Wei Mama had prepared a bag full of food again.

Wei Yangyang looked at the bag and said helplessly, "You don't need to prepare all this."

"The two of you girls are going to be together, you'll definitely want to eat snacks."

"But we can't eat that much."

"You can share them with others."

Her mother's words made Wei Yangyang's heart tighten.

She wondered why her mother would bring up "others."

Could it be... that she discovered she had been sneaking off to the company?

Just as Wei Yangyang was letting her imagination run wild, Wei Mama continued, "Is the model Jiang Motian hired for her painting a man or a woman?"

A model?

Wei Yangyang blinked, only then remembering that she had deceived her mother by saying she was helping Jiang Motian find a painting model.

As a temporary assistant, one had to do some trivial tasks.

And this realization made Wei Yangyang aware that she hadn't been exposed yet.

Wei Yangyang let out a breath of relief, almost imperceptibly.

Then, lowering her eyes, she replied, "It's not certain."

"It would be best if you could find someone with experience."

"Being a painting model doesn't require any experience; you just sit there and don't move."

"But someone with experience is at least someone whose background is known in the industry."

After Wei Mama finished speaking, she muttered with some unease, "It's a bit dangerous to let a stranger go to an Art Studio where only two girls are present. How about... let a servant from the house go with you!"

Wei Mama thought this was a good suggestion.

She even looked at Wei Yangyang with anticipation, hoping her daughter would agree.

But how could Wei Yangyang agree!?

She said to her mother in a difficult position, "Tiantian's boyfriend goes to the Art Studio quite often, and Tiantian has her own plans, so let's not add to the trouble."

"I see, well anyway, you two be careful."

"I know."

As she said this, Wei Yangyang took the bag and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the driver was waiting for her.

Before getting into the car, Wei Yangyang glanced toward the direction of the garage.

The car that belonged exclusively to Wei Baba was already gone.

Thinking about it carefully, Wei Baba had been leaving early and returning late recently.

Wei Yangyang couldn't help but turn back and ask Wei Mama, who had followed her, "What has Dad been busy with lately? Why is he never around?"

"What else could he be busy with? Just company business."

"But is our family's company really that busy?"

Wei Baba had a gentle personality, didn't like socializing, and had no great ambitions; he wouldn't be so busy that he couldn't be seen.

The current situation could be called abnormal.

But Wei Mama didn't know how to explain it.

She thought for a moment before saying uncertainly, "It seems there's some trouble."

"Then do you need my help?"

"You're a girl, what help can you provide?"

Wei Mama didn't mean to belittle her daughter; she just blurted out the words based on intuition.

Wei Yangyang was naturally unconvinced; she straightened her chest and said, "Why can't a girl help? This company is going to be managed by me in the future!"

Her daughter's confident words actually left Wei Mama stunned.

"Mom?"

Wei Mama came back to her senses, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just find it a bit hard to imagine how you would manage a company."

"It would definitely be spirited and heroic!"

"But... if possible, I actually hope you can find a good man to marry and not work so hard."

Wei Mama truly hoped her daughter could be a virtuous wife and mother, live a safe and smooth life, and not have to worry.

Unfortunately, Wei Yangyang had no interest in being a virtuous wife and mother at all.

But she couldn't completely refute her mother, so she could only say tactfully, "Even if I get married, I must have my own career."

"But women with too much ambition often have a hard time finding happiness in marriage."

"That's a fallacy! Look at Mrs. Li; isn't she a win-win?"

"But... in this world, how many people are that lucky?"

"If I don't try, how will I know if I'm not that lucky one!"

Wei Yangyang felt that since she had survived a great disaster, there must be good fortune ahead!

As for career and love, she wanted to grasp both, and she wanted to be strong in both!

Of course, at this stage, she still had to prioritize her career.

Wei Yangyang worked hard in secret.

She hoped that one day, she could become the pride in her mother's heart!

Wei Yangyang pursed her lips, her eyes shining with a gentle yet firm light.

Seeing this, Wei Mama was somewhat infected by it.

She sighed, then made a concession: "Yes, yes, yes, you are right, my daughter will also be that lucky one."

"I think so too!"

Wei Yangyang raised her smiling face, her smile very bright.

And this Wei Yangyang made Wei Mama feel somewhat dazed.

She felt that her daughter... seemed to have changed.

Much more optimistic, and much more confident.

This is quite good.

Under Wei Mama's melancholy gaze, Wei Yangyang got into the car and left.

Not long after her daughter left, Wei Mama saw Wei Baba return.

But he didn't even say hello and went straight to the second floor.

Wei Mama felt it was strange and followed him over.

Then she saw her husband rummaging through the safe in a great hurry.

After finding the item, Wei Baba stood up and was about to leave.

This time, Wei Mama stopped Wei Baba and asked with a frown: "What are you doing in such a rush?"

As she spoke, Wei Mama looked at the item in her husband's hand.

That red booklet made Wei Mama's breath hitch.

Then she asked in panic: "What are you taking the property deed for?"

"Taking it to use as collateral so the bank will approve a loan; otherwise, the company can't take on new projects, and the capital won't be able to circulate!"

Wei Mama did not understand much about business matters.

But she also knew that if it were not a necessary moment, her husband would not touch the property deed.

So...

Wei Mama asked nervously: "What exactly happened to the company?"

"Sigh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Don't block me now; it will be terrible if I'm late!"

Wei Baba was very impatient, pushed Wei Mama aside, and left in a hurry.

Wei Mama wanted to call out to her husband from behind, but in the blink of an eye, he had already walked downstairs.

At this very moment, Wei Mama suddenly felt that being a strong career woman wouldn't be so bad.

At the very least, she could be of help.

Unlike her, who didn't even have the chance to get a word in...

Wei Yangyang, who had already left by car, did not know what had happened at home.

However, after arriving at the company, she noticed her supervisor frequently going in and out.

Near noon, her father even came to the company.

Wei Yangyang was startled, very afraid that her father had come to the company to catch her.

As it turned out...

Wei Baba, with a grim expression, went to the conference room with several important company leaders.

Her colleagues were also left at a loss by this display.

Someone who had a good relationship with Wei Yangyang leaned over and asked: "Yangyang, what is the situation here?"

"I'm not clear on it either."

"Sigh, I feel like a storm is coming in the company."

Wei Yangyang pursed her lips and then asked: "Has there been any change in the company recently?"

"If you're talking about changes... it's that several big projects that were already negotiated have fallen through. Look at the people in Group One; they're so idle they're practically picking at their feet."
