After returning to Chengdu, Li Baolong spent a comfortable day at Honghong's new home, where the two indulged in tender moments. The next day, he went to school, as he still had exams to take.
When he arrived at school, his homeroom teacher and department head were incredibly polite to him. His classmates were also overjoyed to see him in class, and the atmosphere in the classroom immediately became lively. Everyone knew that a remarkable person had emerged in their class—someone who had donated to both the school and the orphanage. Although Li Baolong hadn't spoken much to many of his classmates, that didn't stop them from bragging to others: "Li Baolong and I are in the same class!"
After finishing his exams, Li Baolong left school that same day and went straight to Sichuan University to find Wang Yumei. They hadn't seen each other since parting ways at Qingcheng Mountain last year. Li Baolong knew that Wang Yumei's mother would definitely not approve of her dating in university, especially someone like him with no family background. Therefore, he hadn't contacted Wang Yumei proactively, treating her only as an ordinary classmate and friend. This time, he went to see her because Wang Yumei had written him a letter, inviting him to meet and talk when he had time.
Li Baolong drove to the gate of Sichuan University, and familiarly pulled out a pack of cigarettes, handing it to the security guard. The guard took the cigarettes and quickly made a phone call. A short while later, Wang Yumei appeared.
Wang Yumei's eyes lit up when she saw Li Baolong sitting in a Santana. She walked over and said, "Li Baolong, you bought a car?" Li Baolong laughed and replied, "Buying a car makes doing business more convenient. Get in, let's go have a meal first and have a good chat."
The two went to a farmhouse restaurant in the suburbs and ordered spicy chicken and spicy fish, both of which were their favorite dishes. As soon as the dishes were served, the aroma filled the air, and the two ate and chatted, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
Wang Yumei couldn't help but complain, "My mom won't let me find a partner. She insists I take the postgraduate entrance exam and study abroad after graduation. I'm so conflicted. I don't know if this is the right path for me." Li Baolong listened and comforted her, "Don't worry, you still have more than a year before graduation. As for me, after graduation, I'll focus on working and making money. Once I've made enough money, I can change a lot of things. Those things I wanted to do but didn't dare to do before, those things I couldn't stand but couldn't do, I'll have the opportunity to change the rules then." Wang Yumei stared at him and sighed slightly, "It's been more than a year since I last saw you, you've changed so much." Li Baolong smiled and said, "Everyone grows and changes."
After dinner, Li Baolong and Wang Yumei climbed the hillside together. A gentle breeze blew across the hill, and the distant scenery was breathtaking. Looking into the distance, Wang Yumei suddenly turned to Li Baolong and asked, "Li Baolong, if you really become rich in the future, will you still choose me?"
Li Baolong chuckled inwardly. In fact, he already possessed considerable wealth, but he hadn't told Wang Yumei yet. He deliberately paused and said, "If I become rich, I will hire you as my manager to help me manage the Baolong Charitable Foundation and provide relief to impoverished families and children across the country."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yumei couldn't help but burst into laughter: "If you really have that much ability, I won't bother with postgraduate studies or going abroad; I'll just work for you!" Li Baolong's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Okay, it's a deal then!"
As the sun gradually sank in the west, its gentle rays bathed them, casting long, long shadows. Standing side by side, gazing at the beautiful scenery before them, they seemed to see the path they would walk hand in hand into the future. Then, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, they descended the mountain together, their steps light and firm, their shadows swaying behind them, as if whispering of their beautiful promise.
Li Baolong had been staying at home for the past two days, and Jiang Xiaomei had been taking care of him in various ways. Li Baolong was originally exhausted, but this had given him some relief.
Li Baolong said to Jiang Xiaomei, "I'm going to the Special Economic Zone company tomorrow. I'm transferring 100,000 yuan to your account for living expenses. You have to take good care of yourself." Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaomei's eyes immediately reddened. She nestled in the arms of the small man, Li Baolong, and said with a slightly nasal voice, "You've always been the best to me in this life. I'm willing to take care of you silently for the rest of my life."
Li Baolong smiled slightly and said, "Sister Xiaomei, don't say that. I'll have quite a few companies in the future, and you can help me manage them. In your spare time, read more books, go to a night school for a junior college, and learn about economics and management. In a year, you'll definitely see a completely new you."
As soon as Li Baolong returned to Longteng Company in the Special Economic Zone, he saw Wenwen, the deputy manager and secretary, reading the company rules and regulations to the employees. Wenwen was dressed in professional women's attire, a short skirt, black stockings, and high heels; her appearance made Li Baolong's heart itch. This woman had a really hot figure; her breasts were so full they looked like they were about to burst out of her white shirt, and her legs were straight and long, which, combined with the black stockings, immediately highlighted her elegance. Li Baolong secretly thought that he had made the right choice in choosing this woman; if he cultivated her well in the future, she would definitely come in very handy.
Seeing Li Baolong return, Wenwen quickly said, "Everyone, welcome back General Manager Li Baolong!" The twenty or so people sitting down immediately stood up and applauded. Li Baolong cleared his throat and said, "Everyone has worked hard! I'm very happy that you've all joined our Longteng Company. I have great confidence in you all. I hope you can learn from each other about stock and futures trading here, and in actual operation, be sure to be steady, accurate, and ruthless. If the company does well at the end of the year, everyone will receive a big bonus!" Upon hearing this, everyone applauded and cheered again, full of anticipation for the future.
When Li Baolong returned to his office, Wenwen came up to him and reported: "The company has recruited eight traders in the past few days. They all have one or two years of experience and can operate our trading software without any problems. Now they are mainly familiarizing themselves with the Hong Kong market."
Upon hearing this, Li Baolong immediately instructed, "Give each of these dozen or so traders one million Hong Kong dollars to conduct live trading. The company will issue bonuses if they make a profit." Wenwen quickly nodded in agreement.
After finishing their work, the two began to get intimate in the office, making Li Baolong's heart burn with desire. Wenwen said sweetly, "Mr. Long, as you instructed, the houses have been bought. Two large ones, both on the top floor, opposite each other in elevator buildings, over 300 square meters in total, fully furnished and equipped with appliances. You can move in tonight." Li Baolong was very satisfied and said with a smile, "Great job, secretary. I'll reward you properly tonight." Wenwen gave him a flirtatious glance, and the atmosphere in the office became even more ambiguous.
These past two days, Li Baolong has been personally guiding the company's traders, with remarkable results; half of the traders' accounts have started to turn a profit. Li Baolong himself has also found himself with plenty of free time. He spends his days with his secretary—when there's work to be done, she takes care of it; when there's nothing else, he spends it all cuddling with her. Every evening, Wenwen pampers Li Baolong so well that he feels like he's in heaven, utterly blissful.
But Li Baolong knew in his heart that he couldn't continue to indulge in this. He secretly thought that it was time to go and take a look at the company in Hong Kong. Although this place was a haven of comfort, staying there for too long would make one lose their fighting spirit. Li Baolong's ambitions were not limited to this; he wanted to venture onto a bigger stage and not let the comfort he was in now hold him back.
