At 35, Jiang Xiaoli went wild skiing with friends, only to die in an avalanche. She woke up to find herself back at 16, a year when her beloved mother was still alive!
Given a second chance, ...
Today is a joyous and festive day. It's the first time that little Xiaoxiao has seen so many people. Lying in Li Guizhi's arms, she excitedly danced around.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoli took the child from her. "Mom, let me hold her. Don't underestimate Xiaoxiao's strength. Be careful she doesn't hit you."
Li Guizhi said with a smile, "Laughter keeps us healthy!"
She couldn't help but complain, "Mom, your granddaughter filter is way too thick!"
After the engagement ceremony, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the official release of "Arrow of Mystic Ice" on the server.
The game's popularity remained high during its month-long open beta test, but the number of players who received open beta access was limited, and many were unable to experience it firsthand.
At 10:00 AM on July 7th, all 10 servers in the first region of the "Arrow of Mystic Ice" official server were opened simultaneously.
In less than an hour, the game's recharge amount exceeded 1 million yuan.
In just 3 hours, a small red dot appeared next to the names of all 10 servers, indicating that the servers were full.
At 5 p.m., all servers began queuing to log in, and the total amount of game recharge exceeded 5 million yuan.
At 8 PM, "Arrow of Ice" opened 10 servers in the second region.
By midnight, all 20 servers in the "Arrow of Mystic Ice" region (regions 1 and 2) were at full capacity, with in-game spending exceeding 13 million yuan.
They succeeded! The gaming department of "Yujia Technology" became a sea of joy.
Looking at the operational data of "Arrow of Mystic Ice," Zong Jiayu loudly announced, "All employees, bonuses! Take turns on vacation, domestic or international travel at your discretion, all reimbursed by the company!"
The cheers in the company grew even louder, "Boss is awesome—"
Seeing everyone's excitement, Zong Jiayu instructed, "We've made a good start on the first day of 'Arrow of Mystic Ice's' release. We'll need everyone to continue working hard, so please don't let your guard down."
Everyone responded in unison, "Understood!"
At 2:30 a.m., Zong Jia returned home. He moved as quietly as possible and slowly lay down on the bed.
The moment he closed his eyes, the person next to him rolled over and sat on his waist, leaning down to plant a kiss on his neck.
"Ayu, the 'Arrow of Mystic Ice' dropped! Congratulations!"
Zong Jia chuckled and rolled over, pinning her beneath him. "Little Pear, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Jiang Xiaoli blinked in the darkness, then reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice laced with a seductive glint, "On such a joyous day, of course we have to wait for you to come back to celebrate, to celebrate..."
Zong Jia had almost no resistance to her, so how could he resist such initiative?
Their "victory celebration" came a little late, but it was just in time.
The next day, Zong Jia and he took a day off, and they slept until the sun was high in the sky.
After having lunch with Li Guizhi, the two of them went to the nursery to be with their daughter.
Pushing open the door, Xiaoxiao was sitting with Aunt Fang, leaning against a huge doll.
Upon seeing the two of them, the little boy immediately tried to stand up by holding onto Aunt Fang's hand, but he failed twice.
The two of them sat down in front of their daughter with smiles on their faces. Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Xiaoxiao's pouting little mouth.
"Ayu, look at her, she's so small but she's so strong-willed. Who does she take after?"
Before Zong Jiayu could reply, she finished speaking.
Then Xiaoxiao opened and closed her mouth and called out, "Mommy!"
The voice was sweet and soft, yet very clear.
Jiang Xiaoli was stunned for a moment. Seeing that she didn't react, Xiaoxiao called out again, "Mom!"
She turned to Zong Jiayu in disbelief, "Jiayu, did you hear that? Xiaoxiao called for her mother!"
Zong Jiayu smiled and nodded at her, "Yes, you heard me right."
Jiang Xiaoli was overjoyed. She hugged her daughter and kissed her repeatedly, which made Xiaoxiao reach out to Zong Jiayu, wanting to escape.
She didn't care and rushed out of the room into the corridor, shouting at Li Guizhi, who was watching TV in the living room on the first floor.
"Mom! Come on upstairs quickly, Xiaoxiao just called me Mom!"
Li Guizhi immediately beamed with joy. As she walked upstairs, she exclaimed, "Oh my, I knew our Xiaoxiao was smart! She can already call out to people before she's even nine months old!"
From that day on, the Jiang family was incredibly lively every day.
Little Xiaoxiao had to deal with Zongjia and coax her at night. "Xiaoxiao, call me Daddy, come and learn with me, Bo-ah-Daddy, Daddy!"
During the day, she has to deal with all sorts of people and teach them all sorts of names.
Every time Jiang Xiaoli sees this scene, she feels sorry for her daughter for two seconds, then remains calm and collected.
She felt like she was a winner in life.
Zong Jia and his partner relaxed their work pace, sat down and had a good discussion, and finally reached a consensus.
Both "Jiang's Group" and "Yujia Technology" are currently in a phase of rapid development, and it is impossible for them to stop working completely.
However, the recent period is a good example. They can take turns controlling the workload, ensuring that one of them has more time to spend with their family.
"Arrow of the Mystic Ice" is on track, and Zong Jia has plenty of time to spend at home with his daughter and take care of Li Guizhi. Jiang Xiaoli, who has been resting at home for almost two months, will return to work.
Li Guizhi expressed her support for their decision, saying, "I know you are both working hard to build your careers, but families need to be maintained. Just make sure you manage your time well and don't neglect your child's growth."
Jiang Xiaoli put her arm around her shoulder and said with a smile, "Ayu and I listen to you the most. Since we've made a decision, we'll definitely do it!"
On July 12, Jiang Xiaoli officially returned to work.
During the two months she worked from home, Li Anting managed the group very well.
She has a conservative personality and is very suitable for "maintaining the business". Jiang Xiaoli is very comfortable entrusting the management of the group to her when she is busy.
But she herself had to take the lead in boldly expanding the territory.
The first thing Jiang Xiaoli did at work was to approve the establishment of a new factory for "Jiang Li Ji" and the development of a beverage line.
Dafu arrived at her office immediately upon receiving the news. "Little Pear, I heard yesterday that you were coming back to work, and I told Xiaoyue that there would definitely be good news today."
She nodded and chuckled, "Brother Dafu, An Ting is just a bit conservative. She has a lot to consider. But your factory application materials are so well prepared that she would agree even if I wasn't there."
Dafu smiled and said, "I know, there are too many things to consider and weigh in her position, so it's only right that she's cautious."
Jiang Xiaoli cautioned, "Our 'Jiang Li Ji' brand is right here. No matter what new products we launch, customers will buy them. But we can't squander the trust our customers have in us."
"With this new factory and beverage line, I hope we can launch a flagship product, just like our previous spicy strips, boneless chicken feet, and self-heating hot pot."
“I know,” Dafu replied. “The food R&D department has just established a beverage R&D team, and they’ve already come up with more than ten beverage recipes. Little Pear, when do you have time to personally give them some guidance?”
