Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Du Xiaojuan was bickering with Wang Dashan when, right then, Du Xiaojuan's mobile phone rang.

"You help me check who's calling."

Du Xiaojuan was driving, so it was inconvenient to answer, and she had Wang Dashan help look at the phone.

Wang Dashan asked:

"Where's your phone?"

"In my pocket, this right one."

Wang Dashan reached into Du Xiaojuan's pocket, and when he leaned close, his face nearly bumped into Du Xiaojuan's chest.

Wang Dashan couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed.

Du Xiaojuan was speechless at his reaction.

We're an old married couple, so why do you still look like you've never seen meat before?

The son and grandmother are in the back, so Du Xiaojuan couldn't bring herself to say these things directly.

Still, she felt a tiny bit secretly pleased.

At least in front of her husband, her charm hasn't faded.

That's normal too; after all, she's always paid close attention to maintaining her figure.

Her figure is even better than some female celebrities'.

At this moment Wang Dashan asked Du Xiaojuan a question:

"Wife, tonight do you want me to come to your room and help you edit videos?"

When traveling, Du Xiaojuan usually books three rooms.

One for herself, one for Wang Dashan with the kid, one for Li Xiulan.

The reason she didn't have Wang Dashan and the kid stay with her was because she still has to edit videos at night, usually until eleven or twelve o'clock, and that would disturb the kid's sleep.

Du Xiaojuan instantly understood Wang Dashan's meaning; normally she'd definitely refuse, but she herself also had that intention, so she said:

"Then tonight you come over; I really can't handle editing videos alone, tonight Xiao Jin will sleep with Grandmother, Xiao Jin, you say okay or not!"

Wang Dujin looked aggrieved:

"But I want to sleep with Mommy!"

Du Xiaojuan said with a smile:

"Be good, Mommy still has work tonight!"

"Where's the work, you just want to sleep with Daddy, not with me!"

Li Xiulan was amused:

"Xiao Jin, your daddy and mommy want to make you a little sister, don't you want a little sister?"

Du Xiaojuan's face couldn't help turning embarrassed:

"Mom, don't say these things in front of the child."

Li Xiulan said:

"Xiao Juan, you don't know, Xiao Jin kept saying before that he wanted a little sister!"

Du Xiaojuan sighed, thinking this wasn't taught by you?

But she didn't say anything.

Instead she urged Wang Dashan:

"I told you to help me answer the call, how come you still haven't picked up?"

Wang Dashan only then snapped back, but discovered the phone that had been vibrating had already stopped.

Wang Dashan hurriedly said:

"It was Ji Xunrong calling, do you want to call back?"

Du Xiaojuan was stunned:

"I've already sold Xiao Du Technology to him, what does he still want with me? Ignore him!"

Wang Dashan smiled:

"Maybe he can't manage it anymore and wants to recruit you back!"

Wang Dashan's words had some logic; after all, Du Xiaojuan had left once before, and after she left Xiao Du Technology fell into a total mess, and in the end they had to invite her back again.

Du Xiaojuan said:

"What are you thinking, this time is different from last time; this time Ji Xunrong took over Xiao Du Technology clearly just to cash out short-term, he doesn't care about Xiao Du Technology's survival at all!"

Right then, Du Xiaojuan's phone rang again.

Wang Dashan hurriedly asked:

"Ji Xunrong called again, answer it?"

Du Xiaojuan thought for a moment:

"Answer it, put it on speaker directly, let me talk to him!"

Wang Dashan pressed the answer button, then turned on speaker.

"General Manager Ji, what business do you have with me?"

Du Xiaojuan asked directly.

Laughter came from Ji Xunrong's end of the phone:

"General Manager Du, I have some good news for you. Under my operation, Xiao Du Technology's stock price is climbing steadily. You sold all your shares before — what a pity, you missed out on this wave of dividends."

Du Xiaojuan felt very displeased inside upon hearing this.

If it weren't for you, this beast, setting a trap to force me, how would I have ended up selling all of Xiao Du Technology's equity?

However, Du Xiaojuan didn't want to argue with Ji Xunrong. Behind Ji Xunrong stood Zhonghai Group, and this capital giant had infiltrated many industries; who knew, they might still cooperate in the future.

Business is like this — today they fight until heads are broken and blood flows, tomorrow they might cooperate together.

Everything is driven by benefit; if one is too caught up in personal pride, it is impossible to become a successful merchant.

"Then congratulations to General Manager Ji. General Manager Ji has such operating ability — truly the student surpasses the master, not much inferior to your father."

Du Xiaojuan politely flattered him a few words.

Ji Xunrong couldn't help but freeze, a trace of surprise appearing on his face.

He thought this phone call would break Du Xiaojuan's defenses.

After all, Xiao Du Technology was built up single-handedly by Du Xiaojuan; now the fruit was plucked by him, Ji Xunrong — any ordinary person would surely feel psychologically unbalanced.

Unexpectedly, Du Xiaojuan's reaction was actually this calm.

"General Manager Du, I heard you've been doing a short video account recently? And you're even personally wielding the knife, even appearing on camera. Even if you left Xiao Du Technology, how could you fall so low as to this state? Why not come back? I'll let you be Xiao Du Technology's Logistics Director — it'll definitely earn more than you filming videos!"

Ji Xunrong's words at first glance seemed to show good intentions, but upon closer thought, they were actually humiliating Du Xiaojuan.

Making Du Xiaojuan, a company founder, go back to be a Logistics Director — if that's not humiliation, what is?

Yet Du Xiaojuan remained calm:

"Thank you, General Manager Ji, for caring so much about me, but I'm not short of money, so you can keep this Logistics Director position for someone else. Right now I only want to do what I want to do."

Ji Xunrong suddenly laughed loudly:

"Ah hahaha, Du Xiaojuan, you really can endure. I've said all this, and you're not angry at all?"

Ji Xunrong stopped pretending, tearing off his fake, hypocritical mask.

"What would I be angry about?" Du Xiaojuan was speechless, still very calm.

She truly didn't feel she had anything to be angry about.

She was indeed doing what she wanted to do.

At this moment Ji Xunrong said:

"It's not that you don't want to come back — it's that you can't come back! You clearly know our Zhonghai Group has already blacklisted you in the e-commerce industry; upstream and downstream partners won't cooperate with you anymore. That's why you've been reduced to filming short videos. Stop pretending — I'll ask you: do you regret it or not?"

Du Xiaojuan froze:

"You actually used Zhonghai Group to blacklist me?"

This point Du Xiaojuan hadn't paid attention to, nor had she cared.

Because after she left Xiao Du Technology, she never even thought about continuing traditional e-commerce.

Right now she is embracing a new track, a new trend.

She is laying foundations and making preparations to exert force in the short video field — where would she have the time to pay attention to that old circle?

Ji Xunrong laughed loudly:

"Du Xiaojuan, don't you find it shameful? A dignified female CEO, actually reduced to filming short videos, competing with those borderline girls!"

Du Xiaojuan was even more speechless:

"General Manager Ji, do you have some misunderstanding about me? I don't film borderline videos."

Then she also said:

"Alright, you've shown off enough. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I don't have the free time to waste time with you!"

Seeing Du Xiaojuan still unmoved, Ji Xunrong immediately got very angry, because this made him feel like he'd punched a wad of cotton.

"Du Xiaojuan, stop pretending to me. Beg me — beg me and I might let you back into this industry!"

"Neurotic!" Du Xiaojuan was speechless to death, then directly hung up Ji Xunrong's phone.

Seeing he was hung up on by Du Xiaojuan, Ji Xunrong got even angrier.

"Du Xiaojuan, just you wait!"

He himself didn't know why he had locked horns with Du Xiaojuan.

Perhaps it was his lofty self-esteem, lightly injured by Du Xiaojuan's offhand manner.
