Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

After hanging up Zhang Ruoshui's call, Wang Xiaohua pondered for a long while, but in the end still placed a call to check in on her.

But before the call could even be dialed, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

It was none other than Du Xiaojuan calling.

Wang Xiaohua was stunned, and hurriedly answered:

"Hello, Eldest Sister-in-law..."

"Xiao Hua, let me tell you some good news."

"Eldest Sister-in-law, what good news?" Wang Xiaohua smiled wryly; he had thought Du Xiaojuan was going to tell him bad news, but unexpectedly, the Du Xiaojuan on the other end of the line showed not a trace of sorrow, instead her tone was relaxed, very happy.

"Your Big Brother and I discussed it and decided to bring the child back to Shanggou Village to stay for a period of time tomorrow."

"This... is my mom coming back too?"

"Of course! Your Big Brother and I are both going back, we can't leave your mom alone in Guangzhou; she's always going on about that one acre three points of land in Shanggou Village, and hearing we're returning to the village, the old lady is overjoyed!"

Wang Xiaohua said weakly at this point:

"Eldest Sister-in-law, I heard from Ruoshui that you withdrew from Xiao Du Technology..."

Du Xiaojuan answered frankly with a smile:

"That's right, I withdrew. I've worked for so long, it's time to give myself a little long holiday!"

"Don't you feel it's a pity?" Wang Xiaohua continued to ask, "Or is there some hidden reason?"

Du Xiaojuan's answer was still frank:

"There is a hidden reason, but I don't feel it's a pity. Take the money and leave, what's there to regret? As for what hidden reason, even if I told you, you probably couldn't help. Simply put, Zhonghai Group wants to control all of Xiao Du Technology; I can't fight a giant like that, so I chose to withdraw."

Du Xiaojuan's words even carried a hint of lightness.

She didn't feel this was some difficult, heart-wrenching decision at all.

Hearing her put it that way, Wang Xiaohua knew there was no need to inquire further.

Since Du Xiaojuan had already made the decision, he only needed to respect it.

"Right, Ruoshui said she's coming over tomorrow too..."

"That's wonderful! I'll go pick her up tomorrow, then we'll set off together!"

"No need, no need, she said she already bought a bus ticket."

"Don't stand on ceremony with me; a long-distance bus is exhausting, she's a young girl, can you bear to let her suffer like that?"

"Then thank you, Eldest Sister-in-law..."

"You're welcome. I'll contact her in a bit, set a departure time, pick her up and bring her along — it's on the way anyway!"

Wang Xiaohua hung up Du Xiaojuan's call, then told Zhang Ruoshui about it.

Zhang Ruoshui still felt rather embarrassed to trouble Du Xiaojuan; after all, she was President Du, but Du Xiaojuan sent her a WeChat message at this time, asking what time she was leaving tomorrow, saying she'd come pick her up then.

Zhang Ruoshui was too embarrassed to refuse, so she replied to Du Xiaojuan: whatever time Du Xiaojuan departs, she'll depart then.

And at this moment, inside the villa.

Du Xiaojuan settled the nanny's wages and dismissed the newly hired nanny; after all, she couldn't possibly bring her back to Shanggou Village.

Besides, now that she had free time, she could spend more time with the child herself, and with Li Xiulan helping cook meals and clean, the manpower was already more than sufficient, so there was truly no need to bring the nanny along.

Additionally, returning to Shanggou Village, she didn't plan to live there permanently; go back for ten days or half a month, recuperate, then plan to go travel outside, bring the child, bring the husband, and if Mother-in-law Li Xiulan is willing, bring her along too, and have a spontaneous self-driving tour!

Wang Dashan at this moment still had a full sense of unreality:

"You really just withdrew from Xiao Du Technology like that? Really going back to Shanggou Village to stay for a while?"

Du Xiaojuan smiled:

"Not only did I withdraw from Xiao Du Technology, I withdrew from Wanjia Commodities too. As for your Shanhai Real Estate, I feel the real estate industry has peaked; when you have time, sell that off too."

Wang Dashan was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to keep Shanhai Real Estate.

This real estate agency, though the returns it generated now were minuscule, was the first company he had founded back in his ignorant youth.

But thinking of how Du Xiaojuan sold off Xiao Du Technology so swiftly and cleanly, if he still clung to this half-baked real estate agency and wouldn't let go, it would seem a bit petty.

"Then what are your plans for the future?"

Wang Dashan asked.

Du Xiaojuan smiled at him:

"Think of nothing for now, rest for a while, take a good look at the country's magnificent rivers and mountains. As for later, I'll definitely return to work; the entrepreneurial project only has a general direction, no concrete plan yet, so I won't tell you yet — after all, things succeed through secrecy!"

Seeing Wang Dashan still with a dumbfounded expression, Du Xiaojuan couldn't help but punch his chest:

"Wang Dashan, what kind of reaction is this? I finally don't have to work, can have more time to accompany you and the child, aren't you happy?"

Wang Dashan hurriedly said:

"No, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried about you... did you suffer too big a blow?"

Wang Dashan reached out to touch Du Xiaojuan's forehead, afraid she had a fever.

Because in his expectation, Du Xiaojuan losing Xiao Du Technology should have been struck like by lightning, severely traumatized; he never expected Du Xiaojuan to be happy as if it were Spring Festival.

Du Xiaojuan slapped his hand away:

"What are you thinking? I'm not like you, indecisive, stubbornly draining yourself!"

"I just don't understand, why are you so happy..." Wang Dashan laughed dryly, "Xiao Du Technology was built up strong and large by your own hand..."

Du Xiaojuan smiled:

"Come, let me show you my bank card balance, and you'll know why I'm this happy."

Du Xiaojuan opened her mobile banking, clicked on the balance, and showed it to Wang Dashan.

Wang Dashan only took one glance, and his eyes twitched.

It was a string of extremely long numbers, nearly matching the length of a phone number!

"This is just one of them; my other two bank cards have two more sums!"

Du Xiaojuan said this one sentence.

She planned to use part of this money to start a business again, part for investment and financial management, and as for the last part, she would put it in a fixed deposit to live off the interest, using it as pension insurance.

In short, this time exiting Xiao Du Technology, although she sold her shares at a 20% discount, Du Xiaojuan still earned a fortune!

Time flew, and it arrived at the next day.

Du Xiaojuan first drove to pick up Zhang Ruoshui, then returned home, bringing along Wang Dashan, Wang Dujin, and Li Xiulan, and together they went back to Shanggou Village.

On the road, Wang Dashan was responsible for driving; Du Xiaojuan had Li Xiulan sit in the passenger seat, while she sat in the back row, taking care of the child on one hand and chatting with Zhang Ruoshui on the other.

"Ruoshui, how's the progress between you and Xiao Hua?"

Zhang Ruoshui appeared somewhat restrained:

"General Manager Du, I really am trying, but I'm rather stupid, and don't know if Xiao Hua likes me or not..."

A hint of red rose on Zhang Ruoshui's face.

Du Xiaojuan laughed and said:

"I see it; this matter is settled. Xiao Hua having me give you a ride — isn't that his recognition of you?"

Zhang Ruoshui's face revealed joy:

"Really?"

Du Xiaojuan nodded: "Really!"

Wang Dashan, who was driving, glanced at Zhang Ruoshui through the rearview mirror, but was quite speechless.

Because he really couldn't understand, just what did his Third Brother see in this stupid girl?
