Bai Yan was never one to suffer. After receiving the villa keys, she immediately moved into the villa, abandoning her more distant school dormitory.
It must have been Shen Wuye who put a lot of thought into the renovation; most of the furniture suited her taste perfectly. After taking a bath and applying skincare products, she told Bai's mother that she would be going home tomorrow before finally going to sleep soundly.
The next day at dawn, Bai Yan arrived home.
Knowing that her daughter was coming back, Bai's mother prepared a table full of dishes in advance. She was a good cook and especially felt that her daughter worked hard, so she tried to make up for it in various ways.
Bai Yan ate with relish; no matter how good the food outside was, it couldn't compare to the taste of home cooking.
"Mom, my company gave me a house in the city as a reward. This apartment is still too small. Why don't you move in with me?"
Bai's mother exclaimed excitedly, "Another house? Did your boss give it to you? How come he just gave you two million and then gave you another house?!"
Bai's mother was a little scared again: "Nannan, he wouldn't have any designs on you, would he?" After all, her daughter was so beautiful.
"I'm just afraid he doesn't have any feelings for me..." Almost two months have passed. She's put in all her effort, worked like a slave for his company, and all she got was a cold, hard 50 million and a mansion. She didn't even hold his hand.
Bai's mother asked in confusion, "Nannan, what did you say?"
"It's nothing," Bai Yan said with a smile, changing the subject. "I brought profits to the company."
He then took out his phone, opened the trending topics, and showed it to his mother, "Mom, look, the most popular game on this list is the one I designed. Don't you think he should reward me?"
Although Bai's mother didn't understand anything, she was still very happy to share with her daughter. "My dear, take a screenshot of this and send it to Mommy. Mommy will show it to your second uncle and the others."
"Okay," Bai Yan agreed with a smile.
"Mom is renovating that small apartment, so it's not convenient to move in right now." Bai's mother didn't like the decoration style of the small apartment, but since she didn't need the money, she paid someone to renovate it.
“I need to oversee the renovations. Once this place is finished and rented out, you can collect rent,” said Mother Bai. “Later, I’ll save all your money and buy a house to rent out, so you won’t have to go to work when you’re tired.”
Bai Yan smiled and nodded in agreement.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while longer. Then, the mother remembered something and asked, "Hey, little girl, didn't you say you had a boyfriend and wanted to bring him home to meet your mother? Your birthday is in a few days. Why don't you have him come over for your birthday?"
The original owner was referring to Chu Hanchen, but the only person she could bring home was him.
Bai Yan's lips curved slightly: "Okay."
It just so happens that it's time to deal with Chu Hanchen, so I'll bring him home for a visit.
...
Shen Wuye's office.
He looked through the transparent glass window in the direction of Bai Yan's location, his brows furrowing and relaxing at times.
The office wasn't originally laid out like this, but under the pretext of convenience, Shen Wuye moved his office to a corner of the technical department. From this corner, he could see anyone, and of course, the most convenient thing was that he could see her just by looking up.
"President Shen is a real devil. I've never seen a boss who comes to work every day and is never late."
"Stop talking, he looked up, he might be watching us slacking off!"
"Quick, quick, look at the picture! Look at Li Shimin's clothing design!"
Shen Wuye had no idea how much impact his sudden head tilt had on these employees. He was choosing a birthday gift for Bai Yan on his computer screen... Her birth date was listed in the employee profile.
He has a photographic memory; he can remember something after seeing it only once.
He thought that if he knew early on, he could choose the right gift, but when he asked his niece to help him choose the birthday presents for the girls, she rejected them all.
"Uncle, I'm begging you, think about who you're pursuing? Bai Gong! She makes millions in profit from a single game, and you're giving her these worthless designer brands?"
Shen Wuye has never pursued a girl, and naturally he has never given any gifts to a girl.
He even humbly asked his niece, "What do you think I should give her?"
"Uncle, I can tell you really like Bai Gong." Only when you like someone will you be so insecure, and only when you like someone will she be so ruthless that she won't even spare the Shen family.
This is what her uncle, who was called a cold-blooded monster by her mother, is like.
"As for gifts, if you don't know what Bai Gong likes, why not give him something you consider precious?"
Shen Wuye murmured, "What I consider precious..."
At that moment, he looked up and saw that the seat she had been sitting in was empty, so Shen Wuye immediately stood up.
Assistant Li, who was standing to the side, looked up and asked, "Boss?"
Shen Wuye looked in Bai Yan's direction: "Where's Bai Gong?"
"You're off work?" Assistant Li said. "Bai Gong just came over to say hello, but since you were busy, she didn't want to bother you any further."
Shen Wuye was a little unhappy. He thought that Assistant Li used to be quite perceptive and knew what was important.
Why didn't I remind him this time?
Assistant Li could also tell that he was unhappy.
The boss is a workaholic, and so is the employee. During that crazy month before, both the boss and the employee almost always left in the last month. But a month later, the game became a huge hit, and with a shortage of manpower, the two of them often worked overtime side by side at night.
Assistant Li had never met anyone who loved their job more than their boss. Luckily, the salary was high enough for him to stick with it.
Even white-collar workers...
Could it be that he's angry because Bai Gong didn't accompany him to work overtime today?
Thinking about how he had received a considerable bonus for the game designed by Bai Gong, Assistant Li said, "Boss, it's Bai Gong's birthday today, so she's leaving early... Please understand, it's a bit much for a young woman to work overtime on her birthday..."
