Chapter 117: Chapter 118: Returning to the Village Together 2
As someone whoâs been a husband and father for over a decade, how could Ruan Weidong not understand Li Yamaâs little thoughts?
Heh, men!
â
After settling the partnership and securing the baseâs working capital, debt-free Nianyang felt elated as she left the Phoenix Restaurant with Li Tingyan.
But on the way back, the man beside her seemed off, as if heâd encountered something unpleasant, making Nianyang feel uneasy. She couldnât help but ask, "Ayan, are you in a bad mood?"
Li Tingyan didnât respond immediately. Instead, he pulled the car to the side of the road, and with deep eyes, he stared at Nianyang. After a few seconds of hesitation, he asked, "Nini, Iâm currently just a General Manager, with a monthly salary of only a few hundred bucks. Although I often get bonuses from going out to sea, itâs not a lot. Will you despise me for that?"
He had just seen his little wife make a quick buck of ten thousand with just a few words, which really shook him. His salary was among the top in the company, but compared to his little wife, it was practically insignificant!
Li Yama, the undefeated conqueror of the sea, tasted the sting of defeat for the first time.
He felt uneasy. His little wife was not only brilliant but also made money effortlessly. Would she think he was worthless in the future?
Nianyang was taken aback and then couldnât help but laugh, "Ayan, youâre silly. Even though youâre not making much now, youâll definitely become the mightiest tycoon at sea in the future. Then, Iâll rely on you to show off. How could I possibly despise you?"
Whatâs the most promising business venture now?
Of course, itâs maritime commerce, a path full of endless possibilities for entrepreneurship. With Li Tingyanâs intellect, heâs bound to be extremely successful. In the future, the first wave of those who succeed in going to sea will have statuses comparable to the richest individuals, and Li Tingyan will undoubtedly become the wealthiest, most domineering CEO!
Li Tingyan was stunned.
Nianyang touched his face, revealing a playful smile,
"Besides, you handle the outside world, and I clear the obstacles for you. Thatâs what I call a win-win!"
Li Tingyan grasped the girlâs hand, his Adamâs apple bobbing, "Nini, Iâll work hard to get promoted to a higher position and eventually take over the entire company so I can provide you with a better life. Youâll never be wronged with me by your side."
Nianyangâs eyebrows curved, her bright eyes twinkling, "Ayan, you donât need to put so much pressure on yourself. Safety is the most important thing to focus on. I donât care about the level of your position. I just wish you could return safely every time you go to sea."
"Wifey, youâre so good."
Li Tingyanâs eyes were fervent, and he couldnât resist kissing Nianyang hard on the lips.
Feeling it wasnât enough, he wanted to go even deeper.
Just then, a beeping sound interrupted, and Li Tingyan had to reluctantly let go of Nianyang to answer the phone.
Nianyang watched, puzzled, as Li Tingyan pulled out a phone the size of a brick from his pocket.
Could this be what people of this era colloquially call a "brick phone," known later as the "big brother" phone?
Seeing Li Tingyan speak seriously into the brick phone nearly made Nianyang burst into laughter.
After hanging up, Li Tingyan said to Nianyang,
"Nini, I need to take you to the security office to make a statement."
Nianyang was taken aback and thought about her actions yesterday, guessing they must have piqued the securityâs interest.
Noticing Nianyangâs concern, Li Tingyan lightly patted his little wifeâs head, "Donât worry, Iâm here. If they ask something you canât answer, just toss it to me. Iâll handle it for you!"
