Chapter 778: Chapter 626: It’s Not Easy for My Wife to Save Up Her Own Money
From the first glance Yun Ze Wu caught of Ning Youguang, he couldn’t help but feel happy for Shi Wangyue and secretly relieved.
As someone who knew the other since elementary school, and later fought alongside him to establish a decent business empire in both others’ eyes and his own opinion as the best partner.
Whenever Yun Ze Wu faced Shi Wangyue, he always felt like the other was a younger brother, and he was the elder brother.
No matter how clever the younger brother was, nearing the level of genius, effortlessly surpassing him in talent and ability, he still felt that he had the responsibility and duty to take good care of him in life.
Ever since that first day they met in Boston.
He found him alone, immersed in work, doing everything on his own.
A solitary life, focused entirely on work, scarcely having friends, and not a hint of family caring or supporting him.
Later, after spending more time together, he of course inquired about his family matters, and with deeper understanding, couldn’t help wanting to look after him more in life.
Furthermore, upon discovering that he had someone he deeply loved, he worried, whether deeply or lightly, about his emotional belonging.
Because he knew he was too independent, too stubborn.
Politely saying, he was stubborn; not so politely, eccentric.
An eccentric personality might be fine for business, but in love, it’s not quite an advantageous trait.
Therefore, he feared he might love too deeply. What if, what if his luck in romance was a bit off, choosing the wrong person to love and fell short in the matters of "love"?
The deeper the love, the harsher the hurt might be, potentially leaving one irreparable.
As it’s well said, "Deep affection doesn’t last, extreme wisdom leads to harm."
This was also why back in Boston, upon noticing Shi Wangyue’s out-of-the-ordinary behavior, he insisted on meeting the girl who haunted his dreams.
Fortunately, upon first laying eyes on that girl.
Most of his worries were put to rest.
She was truly a good girl.
With stunning beauty, clear gaze, gentle expression.
From top to toe, not a single flaw to find.
Most importantly, she wholeheartedly trusted and sincerely cared for the young man.
Except, he didn’t see any romantic affection for the young man in her behavior.
Because of this, his mind wasn’t completely at ease.
Until later, they fell in love, they lived together.
He had to admit, as a mundane person, he was rather shallow.
How should it be said—
He was happy for his good brother.
At the same time, it was hard not to secretly envy, "Perhaps luck truly holds some weight."
In career luck, romantic luck, wealth luck, and so on.
The girl deeply loved by Shi Wangyue, indeed as he later told him, "Our Youyou, deserves to be described with the most beautiful words in the world."
In regards to relationships, Yun Ze Wu prided himself on being experienced.
But, once comparing his own past romantic encounters with the love between Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang...
He embarrassingly realized, he actually wasn’t qualified to judge their love.
"I’m not comparing your Heavenly Immortal with others, who across the world could compare to your Ning teacher?" Yun Ze Wu immediately retorted and praised.
With that, he theatrically wiped a nonexistent tear from his eye.
—"I’m just moved by your divine romance."
Laughter returned to Shi Wangyue’s eyes, "No need to be moved, if truly touched, join me next in some proper business. My wife’s private savings aren’t easy; we can’t truly let her, a girl, lose all her dowry."
"You’re right." Yun Ze Wu toned down the exaggerated expression on his face, "We should properly adjust ourselves and continue the work ahead. Regardless of whether we can earn back the money, at least we should strive to do the tasks ahead well."
Shi Wangyue slowly shook his head, "No matter the future, we must firmly acknowledge that there are no completely correct choices in anything we do. Since we chose the path ahead, we must then turn it into the correct choice."
"You’re right." Having resolved the toughest issue, Yun Ze Wu’s mindset turned more open and positive, "Feeling hardship now indicates we are on an upward path; we must overcome self-blame, and positively view this crisis."
"Next, we need to have a frank and honest meeting with the company’s employees, explain the company’s future strategic plans, and the core team, giving them mental preparation." Shi Wangyue quickly also got into the work state.
"Okay." Yun Ze Wu strongly agreed with the plan, "Our elite team from all over has united with difficulty; MM’s development to date, having them is our luck."
Shi Wangyue nodded, "We must be realistic and truthful."
"Good." Yun Ze Wu understandingly patted Shi Wangyue’s shoulder, "This company crisis is something we both caused, and we have also done our best to shoulder all the responsibility. Since this is the case, there’s no need to hide anything; tell everyone the issues and ideas, so everyone is clear on what problems we are facing, why we made such decisions and changes, what impacts these decisions have on the company’s future, and finally, sincerely invite everyone to speak freely, or if some are unwilling to continue with us, they’re free to stay or leave."
These months, with the company undergoing so many major withdrawals of investors, it’s impossible for the employees to be unaware.
Moreover, because of the later backstabbing by investors, in the past two months, some rumors about MM and him, and Shi Wangyue were secretly circulating among industry peers.
Although the employees came to and from work daily as usual, and the atmosphere seemed calm.
Ultimately, what everyone really thinks, how they view the company, should still be openly discussed in a heart-to-heart meeting.
...
In the largest conference room of Xingguang.
Shi Wangyue stood before the large screen, his voice clear as he said, "It’s undeniable that recently, we’ve indeed encountered some changes, these changes are due to my decisions, I’m willing to shoulder them, and now, willing to accept your scrutiny and review."
"I hope you can join me in rebuilding the company’s order."
"I firmly believe that from ancient times to present, victorious teams must be united in heart and spirit, without exception."
"We all desire lasting trust and support among people, hope to meet like-minded individuals on the journey forward, but we must also clearly understand, impermanence is a constant life philosophy, arrivals and departures, team changes are a norm in the workplace..."1314
