Chapter 489 The Final Decision
When Huang Yan learned of this, she was surprised and said, "Didn't you say that opening a factory was your dream? I thought you would go for it."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaojian felt a little guilty. If it was destined to fail, then it wouldn't be a dream. He usually just talked nonsense and said things offhand, but Huang Yan took it seriously.
Huang Yan said, "When you're at work, I can tell you're not happy. You always say this job is too boring and it's stifling your dreams. You want to quit and start your own factory. Plus, many of your colleagues have already started their own factories. Since you've already made up your mind, why did you give it up? If I asked you to continue working now, would you be willing to do it?"
Wang Xiaojian felt some sweat on his forehead. Huh, did he complain so much usually? Actually, no, he only said it twice, but Huang Yan remembered it.
He said awkwardly, "But this job pays well. If I quit and fail, I won't be able to support my family."
He wanted to deliberately portray the fact that adult life is not easy.
But Huang Yan said directly, "What's the big deal? I can support you. I have some money that I can help you open a factory."
Wang Xiaojian: "..."
He couldn't help but say, "Why are you so eager for me to open a factory? What if I lose money?"
"So what if you lost money? I wasn't expecting you to make any money anyway. I just wanted you to be happy," Huang Yan said.
Wang Xiaojian was somewhat shocked.
The people around him all have his own interests at heart. Whatever decision he makes, it requires careful consideration. Even he is the same way. Everything has its right and wrong sides. In the current situation, the best solution is to make the right choice.
Few people would tell him, no, no one ever told him, that he should do whatever makes him happy.
People only care about whether he succeeds or is right, but no one cares whether he's happy or not, not even he himself cares...
Wang Xiaojian was somewhat shocked at this moment.
Huang Yan blinked, completely unaware that there was anything wrong with what she had said. She asked, "What are you thinking?"
Wang Xiaojian said earnestly, "I will continue doing this job."
"Why? Don't you dislike it?" Huang Yan asked, puzzled.
She grew up in a relaxed environment, and her family told her from a young age that her own feelings were the most important, so Wang Xiaojian should do whatever he liked.
Wang Xiaojian said, "I don't actually hate this job that much. Although it's boring, it has many advantages. Most importantly, I've never run a factory before, and running a factory might not be the path I like."
This decision was made by his parents and also by him, and he felt he would not regret it.
After hearing his words, Huang Yan agreed.
Since this was Wang Xiaojian's decision, she would respect it.
In fact, Huang Yan would support whatever decision Wang Xiaojian made.
And so the matter was settled, and everyone seemed quite happy about it.
Wang Xiaojian breathed a sigh of relief and went to get a drink of water.
Huang Yan suddenly asked, "Did you ever pursue Wang Shu, the girl next door?"
"Cough cough..."
Wang Xiaojian almost choked on the water.
He had pursued Da Bao and they were childhood sweethearts, but he kept this a secret from Huang Yan and didn't intend to let her know.
After all, this is a bit embarrassing.
He had originally considered cutting off all ties with Da Bao, but Da Bao seemed indifferent, so they simply reduced their communication and continued to interact normally afterward.
However, to avoid suspicion, he will no longer speak to Da Bao alone.
But how did Huang Yan find out about this?
Huang Yan laughed and said, "I was just asking casually, why are you so nervous?"
After coughing, Wang Xiaojian said, "Nothing. Did someone say something to you? Otherwise, why would you suddenly ask about this?"
Huang Yan shook her head: "Nobody said anything, I was just curious."
"curious?"
"Hmm, I heard you two are childhood sweethearts, and I think she would be the kind of girl you like."
She smiled as she recalled Da Bao's appearance: "She's so pretty, all the boys must like her, even I like her a lot."
Da Bao's appearance is not ordinary; even in a crowd, she would be an outstanding beauty.
Huang Yan had met beautiful women before, and those women were all very arrogant, thinking they were superior to others. But Da Bao didn't have any of those bad qualities on her face.
Da Bao is carefree and kind. She is a very natural person and is easily attracted to others.
Huang Yan felt that it was normal for Wang Xiaojian to fall for a girl like that.
When Huang Yan found out, Wang Xiaojian had no choice but to tell her about his past with Da Bao: "Actually, we never started anything, and we weren't really in a relationship, since she rejected me very decisively."
He looked at Huang Yan cautiously: "Ayan, would you mind?"
Huang Yan laughed and said, "You haven't even started yet, why should I mind?"
Wang Xiaojian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
