Main Character:

Shen Yao

It wasn't much different from the school sports meets she had seen in reality.

Even more so because the participants in this sports meet were all children, many events weren't so strict, and the children were mainly there to play; Shen Yao saw the hopping and jumping kids on the playground, and her mindset felt much younger.

Jiang Cheng perfectly inherited the excellent genes of both Shen Yao and Jiang Han Zhou, especially that pair of kind, speaking eyes—just a gentle blink could melt into people's hearts.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng had just finished the formation march, wearing the school uniform, standing on the sports field with hands on hips, directing classmates to participate in events.

Because she had signed up for two events, Jiang Cheng clearly knew these things; even because of her parents, Jiang Cheng had been brought along since childhood and was influenced by them, so in young Jiang Cheng's eyes, managing a company and arranging classmates weren't much different.

"You, go prepare for running; in a moment the teachers still need to register the roster."

"You, go wait over there; long jump and running aren't at the same site."

"And also, the cheerleading squad—later you have to jump facing the reviewing stand; no mistakes allowed."

"……"

Jiang Cheng puckered her pretty little face, speaking clearly and distinctly.

The classmates didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with listening to Jiang Cheng's arrangements; they nodded with vague sounds, then left in twos and threes.

The classmates who had originally gathered dispersed by more than half, and the remaining ones were arranged by Jiang Cheng to sit in their own resting area.

Wiping away the sweat that had broken out, Jiang Cheng puffed her cheeks and shook her head; thinking she still had two events to participate in, and her parents had delayed going to the company for her, this time she definitely had to perform well and strive to bring back several certificates to make her parents happy.

Shen Yao and Jiang Han Zhou were still studying the things in their hands, not knowing their daughter had already planned to strive for certificates for them; after all, Shen Yao and Jiang Han Zhou's expectations for Jiang Cheng weren't actually as big as imagined—first, the child should grow up healthy and safe, second, she should have her own ideas and persistence; even if she couldn't inherit the family business in the end, the two of them didn't need to worry about their daughter being cheated.

"Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng"

Not far from the sports field, a teacher was waving his arm and calling Jiang Cheng's name.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng quickly responded, then was taken by the enthusiastic teacher to participate in the competition.

Although this elementary school sports meet was mainly carried out in a playful nature, in reality these teachers and classmates still cared about the competition results.

After all, children love face the most; how could they not strive for a certificate that could give them face in front of everyone? Not to mention there were Daddy and Mommy, at worst Grandpa and Grandma, Grandma and Grandpa would come too.

Jiang Cheng raised her hand and wiped the sweat on her forehead; the high jump had just ended, and Jiang Cheng successfully won the championship with her absolute height advantage and body jumping ability.

It was just a competition for one grade group, but Jiang Cheng was extremely excited; she grinned happily, raised her head and looked around everywhere, obviously looking for where her parents were currently sitting.

"Truly impressive, as expected of our Main Quest," the system praised while not forgetting to flatter itself; anyway, it indeed contributed pills during the host's pregnancy, and now the host's child had such performance, it definitely couldn't be separated from its professional methods.

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao told the system to wander around more when it had nothing to do; with so many big shots, even casual socializing wouldn't be a loss for them.

System: ……

It was just for the host's sake; for a system like it, it wasn't of much use.

The system just liked listening to all kinds of gossip, just as a barren life needed enough rich experiences to fill it; these gossip were the system's nourishment against boredom, even though the system itself didn't know whether listening to so much gossip would affect its specific running procedures.

Should be, no effect, right!

The system felt that after all it was artificial intelligence; what it could do was nothing more than set things—for example, bringing the host to transmigrate and complete the Main Quest, and by the way get thank-you rewards from each Task World; when the rewards accumulated to a certain degree, the system could return to the embrace of the Main Brain, no longer being in its current lonely appearance.

To be honest, the system was still very much looking forward to itself at that time.

The system in memory seemed to have lost contact with the Main Brain for too long; one system drifted everywhere looking for a suitable host, and finally came to Shen Yao's side.

At that time, the system was very worried and anxious because previous hosts had chosen to actively perish, so it was completely obedient to Shen Yao, allowing Shen Yao to thus pump out a lot of insider info.

Not only did it successfully establish the high-low status between one person and one system, but it also made Shen Yao even more fearless and uninhibited.

Thinking of this, the system couldn't help but purse its mouth corner (if it had one); ah, it seemed that right now it was also an object being squeezed by the host.

System: ……

The more the system thought about it, the more indignant it felt; ah, how was it living more and more backwards? Clearly before it was always in the dominant position; the host had to listen to its arrangements for everything, and even would guess its thoughts.

Somewhat unhappily pulling its thoughts away, but after all the system wasn't human and could multitask (if it had a heart); listening to gossip on one side, cursing with its mouth on the other, and by the way could think about this and that.

Knock knock knock—

Jiang Cheng came up from below smiling with narrowed eyes, still wearing the clothes she had gone out in that morning.

Only compared to the freshness of the morning, Jiang Cheng was now dazed and muddled, not to mention her cheeks were red and puffy, and even the steps she took had become much heavier.

"Daddy, Mommy"

Jiang Cheng called out happily, then raised high the two certificates she had obtained, handing them separately to Jiang Han Zhou and Shen Yao.

Shen Yao looked at the certificate in her hand, written with dragon-flying-phoenix-dancing calligraphy for high jump first place, and smiling with narrowed eyes reached out to rub Jiang Cheng's head.

"Great job!"

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but move her head, even leaning her body forward.

Just like a little cat returning from hunting (or with plenty of prey), Jiang Cheng received Shen Yao's praise and impatiently stared with bright, sparkling eyes at Jiang Han Zhou.

Jiang Han Zhou: ……

Jiang Han Zhou made a fist and held it near his mouth, coughing twice and likewise saying "Not bad."

Not bad?

Jiang Cheng was somewhat unhappy; only not bad? She was first place, after all.

"Not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat," Jiang Han Zhou reminded Jiang Cheng with implied meaning not to get carried away over such small matters; however, since the child had achieved good results, as her father he still had to give appropriate encouragement, especially since Jiang Cheng's worldview hadn't fully formed yet and needed positive feedback to improve.

The doll Jiang Cheng had begged for a long time, Jiang Han Zhou agreed to buy in full; not only that, including other matching clothes, jewelry, and such for the doll that Jiang Cheng wanted, Jiang Han Zhou packed them all in one sentence.

Jiang Cheng:? ……!!!

Really?!

Jiang Cheng's surprised eyes were round and glossy, just like a very cute little beast.

Jiang Han Zhou smiled and said that since she had agreed, she might as well go all the way and buy them all.

As the boss who lacked money the least, wasn't it just buying all the dolls and various merchandise Jiang Cheng liked? It was just a matter of a word.

Jiang Cheng shouted excitedly, unable to resist reaching out to hug Jiang Han Zhou and Shen Yao's arms, cheering and jumping with joy.

The joy in his eyes was not feigned; after all, he was still a child.

The school sports meeting concluded successfully. Waiting for Jiang Cheng to return like General Desheng, Shen Yao and Jiang Han Zhou took Jiang Cheng, and the family of three simply ate a meal outside, then went to the company in unison.

The company's business had grown larger and larger in recent years; to facilitate daily office work, Shen Yao had no choice but to expand the company's scale several times.

The most direct aspect was the floor area; for example, next to Shen Yao's office were rooms for daily overnight stays and rest, allowing not only brief relaxation but also bathing.

Jiang Cheng had been rolling around at the sports meeting all morning and had long become a dirty little girl.

Shen Yao had Jiang Cheng's daily clothes here; after all, the mother and daughter would come to the company on weekends. Although Jiang Cheng was young, by work experience, she could be considered an extra staff member of the company.

Jiang Cheng hugged her clothes and ran into the room to bathe and clean up, while Shen Yao and Jiang Han Zhou each returned to their offices to busy themselves with the piled-up tasks.

It was only half a day, and Shen Yao saw the stacked documents again.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao rubbed her temples, which had started throbbing before she even began working, sighed, then straightened her body and quickly entered work mode.

After Jiang Cheng finished bathing, she put on her changed clothes and came out of the room.

She obediently did not disturb her mother, but instead found the small schoolbag she had brought, took out her homework from inside, and completed it seriously.

The family of three each had their own things to do, not disturbing one another, until they were busy and finally finished their work/homework, then they sighed in relief and went home after work.

Ordinary days were like this, without so many thrilling events; mostly they repeated similar lives.

Shen Yao was not the protagonist of this world where everyone revolved around her; just as Jiang Han Zhou often encountered setbacks when acquiring small and medium-sized cinema chains, and was even occasionally framed.

They two were just ordinary people in this vast world of red dust.

Speaking of which, 'How are the male and female leads doing?' It had been so long since she paid attention to the male and female leads of this farming novel; Shen Yao seemed to have thrown this matter behind her back when busy and forgotten it completely.

Coincidentally, the system listened to the host's words; Shen Yao said not to pay attention, so she didn't, even though the system had heard all sorts of gossip but had no news of the male and female leads.

'The male and female leads?'

The system was stunned for a moment, then reacted that they were the protagonists of that farming novel; previously, the female lead Shi Wei had been developing her career in her hometown, and incidentally driving the development of her hometown through her not-so-smooth career.

Now the female lead Shi Wei, with the help of the male lead Feng Chen, had left her hometown and come to a larger stage to display the good things she had grown.

Various troubles inevitably appeared, but the male and female leads had a halo and would never be defeated.

Persisting and working hard like this, the female lead's career had already emerged in Jing Shi, and there was even a faint possibility of exporting abroad.

Why say this? Because processing food into finished or semi-finished products was more valuable than buying and selling the most original ingredients.

Shi Wei was no longer a naive white sweet who knew nothing when just starting out; her Spiritual Field Space was a treasure, and the things grown inside were even more treasures.

Such things should not have been taken out for sale, but Shi Wei wanted to make money for herself and her family, and secondly wanted to help her hometown turn over a new leaf; therefore, the products of the Spiritual Field Space were still sold to others through her hands.

(Shen Yao was a senior VIP customer who bought regularly all year round)

Although the semi-finished and finished products processed from these raw materials had more steps, because they contained the same nutrition inside, they had always been highly regarded in terms of price.

Shi Wei was still reluctant to cheat the old villagers; therefore, the main sales range of her finished and semi-finished products was several developed countries abroad.

Although the legal standards and food safety of these developed countries were even more bizarre than domestically, good things were not afraid of difficulties; now it was not Shi Wei begging them for help, but they begging Shi Wei to sell.

The system quickly found out the latest news and upcoming arrangements of the male and female leads; after explaining everything, it was exhausted to death.

Shen Yao pinched her chin, 'I didn't expect the farming novel's direction to be a domineering CEO and her movie star husband;' it was quite a visual.

System:...

Although unable to resist complaining about what the host said, such visual associations indeed fit the current situation of the male and female leads.

After all, Feng Chen was truly a movie star, and Shi Wei was indeed a newly risen CEO; putting these two character settings together was a bit like the meaning of a male-male lead.

Only daring to murmur a few words in her heart, the system timidly asked how the host came to think of the male and female leads' situation.

'Inspired by the moment, we are just passersby after all; of course, we must always remember the protagonist's situation.'

System:... Lying! Passersby and protagonists have no relationship at all; the host wished to throw the male and female leads far away and not stick to them, so she wouldn't remember such boring things.

The topic of the male and female leads came to an end here; Shen Yao was truly inspired by the moment, belonging to life boredom, bringing out the male and female leads to pass the time.

After asking, she gradually forgot it in the back of her mind, no longer caring about the male and female leads' affairs, but focusing on herself, continuing to be busy with work and making money.

After another period of time, the system suddenly made a clanging sound and released news.

The female lead's export business was unexpectedly good; the male and female leads' relationship came to fruition naturally, and they would hold a wedding soon.

Shen Yao:...

Whether to say it or not, she had already given birth to a child, while the male and female leads had just come to fruition; it was not urgent.

Making an 'oh' sound to indicate she knew, Shen Yao told the system to notify her if there was anything; she didn't expect that this time she didn't need the system to notify her, as Shi Wei took the initiative to send her and Jiang Han Zhou invitations.

By emotion and reason, Shen Yao and Jiang Han Zhou would both attend the male and female leads' wedding, because their relationship really did not have no intersection like passersby and protagonists.

Based solely on the feelings between the Jiang Family and the Feng Family, Jiang Han Zhou could not possibly not give face.

Besides, Shen Yao had been Shi Wei's major customer for many years, helping Shi Wei earn a lot of money; although the two parties' contact over these years was not much (basically none), the express deliveries sent from those channels to Jing Shi were indeed outstanding.

The male and female leads' wedding was on a weekend; Shen Yao and Jiang Han Zhou brought Jiang Cheng to attend.

They stood in front of the audience seats and personally witnessed this wedding that could be called simple; when the male and female leads kissed amidst everyone's blessings, Shen Yao's heart actually rose with a long-lost joy.

Perhaps, this is the end of the drama?!
