838: Have you thought about me these days?

“Precious.”

Chief Gu's voice rang out from outside.

After Chief Gu called out, he knocked on the door.

“Dad, please come in.”

Upon hearing this, Chief Gu immediately pushed the door open.

His gaze, however, was fixed on Wang Yi, his eyes full of deep affection.

Xiao Niannian was even more surprised by her mother's expression. It seemed that, without her knowing, her parents' relationship had made a breakthrough.

Wang Yi's expression returned to calm, and she looked indifferently toward Chief Gu.

“Precious, what were you and your mother talking about?”

Chief Gu winked at his daughter, hoping she would put in a good word for him.

Wang Yi saw Chief Gu's appearance and pretended not to notice.

Xiao Niannian laughed.

“Mom, Dad must have something he needs to talk to you about. Why don't you two go talk in the room next door?”

As soon as Xiao Niannian finished speaking, Chief Gu's eyes instantly lit up.

As expected of his good daughter, she was so clever! She knew how to create an opportunity for him!

He was so nervous right now! Although he and his wife had already... his wife's attitude toward him was still cold.

Over the years, he had focused entirely on his work and searching for his wife, never considering his personal life. But now that his wife was back, the youthful impulse he once felt had returned.

Especially since his wife now looked hardly different from how she looked twenty years ago.

Heaven had taken pity on him, allowing him to find his wife and allowing the children to find their mother.

Chief Gu pulled Wang Yi's hand and walked toward the door.

Wang Yi struggled, trying to shake off Chief Gu's hand, but his hand was like an iron grip.

Chief Gu led Wang Yi to the innermost room in the corridor—the suite he had previously stayed in here.

After pulling Wang Yi inside, he immediately closed and locked the door.

He hugged Wang Yi tightly, lowered his voice, and whispered in her ear.

“Xiao Yi, have you missed me these days?”

Wang Yi looked up, ready to reply, but Chief Gu kissed her.

“Mmm.”

Xiao Niannian heard her parents' words and widened her eyes.

Wow, her dad is amazing!

Xiao Niannian decided to quickly go downstairs and keep her distance from her parents so she wouldn't have to listen to this.

Xiao Niannian quickly ran out of the room and headed downstairs.

Lu Jing was chatting with Maternal Uncle Wang, Gu Yuan, and Gu Jin. Seeing his wife quickly run downstairs, he looked up at the floor above.

“Sister, why are you running so fast?”

“It's a bit hot.”

Huh?

Gu Yuan and Gu Jin were puzzled by their sister's words.

The villa had heating, and their sister was only wearing a summer military uniform; how could she be hot?

Xiao Niannian looked at Gu Yuan.

“Big Brother, did you not plan to bring your girlfriend back during this vacation?”

Hearing his sister's words, Gu Yuan felt a little embarrassed and said.

“Our relationship is very stable. I came back this time because I wanted to discuss marriage with Mom and Dad.”

Hearing this, Gu Jin looked at Big Brother.

“Big Brother, you're getting married so soon?”

He didn't even have a girlfriend yet! If Big Brother got married, wouldn't he be the next one pressured to marry?

“What do you mean, 'I'm getting married so soon'?”

Gu Yuan squinted at his younger brother.

“Congratulations, Big Brother.”

Xiao Niannian spoke up.

Gu Yuan's attention was immediately diverted.

“Thank you, Sister.” Gu Yuan smiled as he looked at his sister.

Maternal Uncle Wang watched them, the smile on his face deepening.

It was a pity these children were all in the Military Unit. How wonderful would it be if one of them could come into business?

His son currently wasn't capable enough to handle things alone. If one of these children joined the business, with the family working together, the business would definitely do even better.

However, it was impossible for his niece and nephew-in-law to go into business now.

The eldest nephew was the eldest Grandson, and the Gu Family had different plans for him.

But the second nephew might have a chance.

The second nephew was also very smart and not someone who strictly followed the rules! His personality was somewhat similar to his own when he was younger.

If he could only coax the second nephew... No, his older sister would break his legs.

Forget it. He would continue to run the business. He could handle it for another twenty or thirty years, and then, twenty years from now, he could let the younger generation take over.

By then, perhaps someone from the Grandson generation could take over!

“Niannian, come with Little Maternal Uncle to the study.”

Hearing Little Maternal Uncle's words, Xiao Niannian followed Maternal Uncle Wang into the study on the first floor.

“Niannian, I'll tell you about the business situation over the past two years.”

Xiao Niannian nodded.

“Please tell me.”

Maternal Uncle Wang explained the business situation over the past two years.

“The year before last, our first year cooperating with the Arms Factory... we exported to over twenty countries... Last year, we exported to over fifty countries... However, the competition is also very fierce. Some shameless people are counterfeiting our products, but they haven't succeeded in imitating them... thanks to the designs you had someone create...”

Xiao Niannian heard Little Maternal Uncle's words and said.

“Have you found out which places or factories were doing the counterfeiting?”

“We found them and have already dealt with the matter.”

Hearing that it had been dealt with, Xiao Niannian nodded.

“You must pay attention to quality, don't let those people swap out the goods... Quality is the most important thing... and those people working under you, Little Maternal Uncle...”

“Niece, don't worry. I know what I'm doing...”

Xiao Niannian looked at the data provided by Little Maternal Uncle.

“Niannian, the data statistics method you suggested is genuinely useful. All the data is extremely clear, and calculating accounts is much easier...”

When she saw the profit figures, although Xiao Niannian had guessed, she still widened her eyes.

Seeing his niece's slightly surprised look, Maternal Uncle Wang laughed.

“Little Maternal Uncle knew it would be very profitable before, but after truly seeing how much profit there was, I was shocked too. Niannian, you truly are our Lucky Star...”

“Little Maternal Uncle, this is what you earned through your own hard work and effort.”

Hearing his niece say this, Maternal Uncle Wang replied.

“No, it's different. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been so decisive about making the immediate donation, and all those subsequent matters were also because of you...”

“Little Maternal Uncle, we should also thank you. If it weren't for your donation...”

“Alright, alright, let's stop thanking each other.”

Maternal Uncle Wang said cheerfully.

“Here is this data for you.”

Hearing Little Maternal Uncle's words, Xiao Niannian said.

“Burn it. Even if you and Mom keep records, don't keep them this detailed. Use encryption...”

Hearing his niece's words, Maternal Uncle Wang paused, understanding what she meant.

“Okay.”

Xiao Niannian spoke with Little Maternal Uncle for half an hour. When they came out, Xiao Niannian saw that her parents had returned to the living room, but her mother's lipstick color had changed, and her lips were pursed.

While her father's face was full of smiles.

Xiao Niannian glanced at them and then looked at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing looked at his wife and handed her a peeled apple.

Xiao Niannian took it and took a bite.

“Sweet.”

Gu Jin heard this and looked at Lu Jing.

“Brother-in-law, peel one for all of us too.”
