Chapter 609: In the Future, Will There Still Be Such Happy Days?

~8 min read 1,475 words

In the sunset, Wen Leyu on horseback whipped the jujube red horse under her feet with all her might, rushed to the hill of the manor in one breath, and just caught up with the last glimmer of twilight on the distant sea level.

"Whoa~"

Wen Leyu gently reined in her steed, looked at the last remaining gray-white twilight in the distance gradually disappearing, and couldn't help but let out a light sigh.

Li Ye drove his horse to approach gently from behind and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, Xiao Yu? Are you reluctant to leave?"

Wen Leyu nodded gently, then pouted, and asked Li Ye with some reluctance: "In the future, will we no longer have such relaxed and happy days?"

Li Ye was silent for a few seconds, smiled, stretched out his arm to hug Wen Leyu, and moved her to the front of his saddle.

"In the future, you can come whenever you want, I'll accompany you."

"..."

"Hmm~"

Wen Leyu made a light nasal sound, which counted as promising Li Ye.

But both of them knew that days like this, staying in the Lighthouse for two months without worries, going wherever they wanted to play, and sleeping in whenever they wanted, might really not exist in the future.

From the moment everyone steps out of the school gate, time will no longer be under their own control. Work, family, and the powerful guiding force of society will all tear people's free time into pieces.

Long holidays might exist, but for a two-month long vacation, you either resign or retire.

For someone like Li Ye who is financially free, retiring at thirty is possible, but Wen Leyu obviously cannot.

In the past, Teacher Ke and Wen Qingsheng didn't have high expectations for Wen Leyu; just living a happy and safe life would be fine.

But as Li Ye, this iceberg, vaguely surfaced, the weight of Wen Leyu in the Wen family began to increase. Many resources that should have fallen on Wen Qingsheng were bound to be transferred to Wen Leyu.

Families like the Wen family, who have gone through countless ups and downs for two generations, will not do things like "rotten mud insisting on sticking to the wall."

If the children are mediocre, naturally the son should go up. There's nothing to say about that. Don't be stubborn, being stubborn is useless. There haven't been many female emperors in Chinese history.

But if the daughter is very outstanding and the son-in-law is very capable, then naturally they must be supported. Even if they are outsiders, they will still be helpful within three generations.

So it is conceivable that after Wen Leyu goes back, she will have to start getting busy before she even graduates.

The two hugged each other, silently watching the last trace of gray-white disappear completely, and dots of starlight occupied the sky.

"Let's go! Jeff and the others should be here."

Li Ye tapped the horse's belly lightly, and the two of them rode slowly down the mountain.

The two of them were leaving tomorrow, so they held a small cocktail party, and Jeff and the others came to see them off.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Jeff, Chambers, Gary, and Elena had all arrived.

Seeing off an intern seems a bit of a fuss, but the problem is that Pei Wencong flew from Hong Kong specifically, so if these people still don't understand who is the big boss and who is the small boss, then they have lived in vain.

People who can make the boss treat them with courtesy either have a good father or are monsters themselves. Working people can't afford to offend them.

After arriving at the cocktail party, Chambers, who had already jumped ship, came over with a wine glass and smiled: "Mr. Li, I just learned a Chinese idiom... meeting late. If I had known you earlier, maybe I wouldn't have wasted so much time..."

Li Ye raised his glass to signal him lightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Chambers, no experience is a waste of time. If you didn't have the experience of serving as the sales manager for the Asia region, how would you like Chinese idioms?"

"Yes, yes," Chambers nodded repeatedly: "After I served in the Asia region, it changed my view of that land in East Asia. Many of my previous perceptions were wrong."

"I think the development prospects of the mainland are very good, the potential is very great, and it will become a great country in the future."

Li Ye smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Chambers, there are not many Lighthouse people like you. Being able to meet each other is our luck."

In the 1980s, many people were optimistic about the vast market in the mainland, but not many people believed that it could become a great country.

"Although there are not many, there are still some," Chambers said solemnly: "I just told Mr. Pei that Mr. Podushka of Apollo Computer is also very optimistic about the mainland market.

After our consultation, he has agreed to conduct cooperation negotiations with Hong Kong Fengyu to jointly develop personal computers suitable for East Asians."

Li Ye looked at Chambers unexpectedly, thinking that a fierce person is a fierce person. Although his historical trajectory was changed by himself, his interpersonal ability was still outstanding.

Li Ye waved to Pei Wencong and called him over.

"Old Pei, Mr. Chambers helped contact Apollo Computer?"

"Yes, Mr. Li," Pei Wencong also smiled and said: "Apollo Computer mainly developed workstations before, and now it also has needs for personal computers, so it is more active in our cooperation."

"Oh~"

Li Ye understood.

Apollo Computer had only been established for a few years, and it had almost no share in the personal computer market in the Lighthouse. Facing predecessors like IBM and Wang Laboratories who were rich and powerful, it naturally needed to find another way to catch up from behind.

To put it bluntly, people are just hitting a pole if there are dates or not.

But for Li Ye, I will climb up the pole if I hit this pole!

Come, come, everyone cooperate. I have a lot of cheap scientific research workers here to use. Let's research together.

What? You say I'm borrowing a chicken to lay eggs?

Isn't that nonsense? If my family now has the ability to produce a series of computer parts, do I still need to borrow a chicken from you?

And Apollo Computer only flourished for a few years before being acquired by HP for 476 million dollars, and quickly disappeared into the crowd after the 1990s.

So your cooperation with me might be like a Buick car, blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside, giving you a good life for decades!

Lawyer Elena also walked over, but her interest was more in Li Ye's manor.

"Mr. Li, I really envy your current life. When I was sixteen, my father hoped to have a manor of his own,

but I am already twenty-six now and still struggling on the road of hope, while you and your girlfriend are only twenty..."

Sigh, sister, can you speak? Saying this in the Lighthouse is a compliment, but saying this in the mainland will make people think you are mocking the second generation for relying on their fathers.

Jeff walked over and smiled to relieve the situation: "Elena, it's actually very simple for you to want to buy a manor. Just like Mr. Li, just write a book like 'A Song of Ice and Fire'."

"Oh~"

Elena looked at Li Ye in surprise and said unbelievably: "Mr. Li, so you are the original author of 'A Song of Ice and Fire'? I am your loyal fan..."

Li Ye waved his hand slightly, pointed to Wen Leyu, and then pointed to Jeff: "My girlfriend and I cooperated to create the skeleton and soul of 'A Song of Ice and Fire', but Mr. Jeff gave it flesh and blood."

"Mr. Li, I have never seen anyone as excellent and humble as you... Your girlfriend is really too happy."

"No, happiness is always mutually bestowed. I am also very happy to have my girlfriend."

"Hahahaha~"

Everyone was flattering Li Ye and Wen Leyu, but Wen Leyu's gaze was only on Li Ye alone.

She sometimes wondered, did Li Ye cooperate with her to create 'A Song of Ice and Fire' just for today?

If someone asks where Li Ye's original capital came from, it was royalties. Even if you break the sky, it's royalties, very clean.

And it was earned by my own old lady. Whoever wants to touch it, I will fight with them!

Therefore, Li Ye's plan was impeccable, paving a smooth road for Wen Leyu and saving countless troubles. ===== CHAPTER 610 =====
