"Alright, I've spoken about my five future goals. Are you all satisfied?" Huang He asked with a smile.
Including Son Masayoshi, everyone was left speechless.
Did someone admire Huang He's vision?
No, they only felt they had encountered a madman.
"Today has been a truly interesting gathering. I will remember this interesting day!" Son Masayoshi seemed to have lost all interest in further discussing heroes over wine.
"Mr. Ma, our agreement can be confirmed. I will come to sign with you tomorrow!" Son Masayoshi said with a smile.
"And you, Mr. Xiao Ma, I believe your QQ also has great investment value. I can accept your offer. Perhaps you can come to see me in a few days. As long as the background check is fine, we can sign at any time."
"Wait a moment!" Just as Son Masayoshi was about to finalize everything, Huang He stood up and said, "Mr. Ma, and Mr. Xiao Ma, I don't think I've actually stated my purpose for coming this time!"
"Although it seems unnecessary to say, I still want to mention it, after all, I can't have come for nothing!" Huang He said with a casual smile. "Like Mr. Sun, I am also here to invest in both of your companies. As for the investment amount and equity, I can offer the same as Mr. Sun, and I also guarantee your control over the companies."
"At the same time, if Mr. Xiao Ma has no objections, oo can be merged with QQ in the future, and the equity will be calculated separately then."
"As long as you all agree, I guarantee that the future I've described to both of you can be realized, and not just limited to the domestic market. Tengda and The Forty Thieves will become world-class enterprises!" Huang He said sincerely.
Although he felt he would be rejected 95% of the time, he couldn't have come for nothing!
----------
"Brother-in-law, why do I feel like your purpose here is different from when you arrived?" Leng Zhiruo asked softly on the way back. Although the two Mas didn't directly reject Huang He, their extremely awkward expressions at the end indicated that Huang He's acquisition attempt had ended in a great failure.
"How am I different?" Huang He chuckled.
"Before you came, I felt like you were determined to get The Forty Thieves. But later, you seemed to have lost all interest, especially after the 'Pineapple Beer and Heroes' discussion. You seemed to have completely given up on those two companies!" Leng Zhiruo said. Although she didn't have much talent for business development, her intuition was quite keen, especially her ability to perceive Huang He's emotional changes, which was very strong.
"Because I realized that if I invested in them and let them grow, they would eventually grow into a form I wouldn't like!" Huang He looked out the window at Hangzhou in 2001. "Also, with these two rivals, my future life should be much more interesting!"
"Brother-in-law, are the five small goals you just mentioned true?" Leng Zhiruo couldn't help but ask, also looking out at the world. No matter how one looked at it, even people from 2021 in another world would consider these five small goals as the ramblings of a madman, a huge flaw.
"What do you think?" Huang He retorted.
"I think it doesn't matter if they are true or false!" Leng Zhiruo said seriously. "The fundamental meaning of a goal is to give a person a position and a reason to constantly move forward. As long as you, brother-in-law, continuously run towards this goal, then even if we don't achieve it, or even die halfway, as long as we die on this path of running, then this goal has its meaning, it is real!"
"Good Zhiruo!" Hearing Leng Zhiruo's words and looking at her charming face, Huang He suddenly felt an irrepressible impulse.
This impulse was so immense that he hadn't felt such a strong urge even in that internet cafe private room. Huang He couldn't control his body. He lowered his head and bit Leng Zhiruo's lips.
Leng Zhiruo's entire body instantly stiffened. Then, under Huang He's passionate kiss, she gradually softened, and then tightly hugged Huang He's waist. It was only when the car turned that Leng Zhiruo reacted and shyly said, "Brother-in-law, there's still the driver..."
"Hmm!" Huang He nodded, releasing Leng Zhiruo. Afterward, both of them remained silent until the car stopped at the hotel entrance. The driver, with a poker face as if he had seen nothing, bid farewell to the two bosses. They entered Leng Zhiruo's room together, and the atmosphere slowly became ambiguous again.
"Zhiruo..." Huang He began.
"Brother-in-law, you don't need to say anything. I know. You didn't mean it, it was an accident, it's all a misunderstanding. I won't blame you, and you don't need to take it to heart. Your room is next door. You should go back and rest quickly!" Leng Zhiruo spoke rapidly, like a machine gun, giving herself no chance.
Well, this was a perfect "defeated woman" speech. If it were a normal TV drama, it would probably have at least 40 episodes of romantic drama.
It's just that Huang He didn't play by the usual rules.
"Let's get married!" Huang He said very directly.
"Ah?" Leng Zhiruo was completely frozen this time.
"Married?" Leng Zhiruo felt like she might have been dreaming all along. Starting from her brother-in-law's five goals, everything felt like a dream.
"Yes, let's get married!" Huang He repeated forcefully.
----------
Huang He returned to Wenzhou alone. As for Leng Zhiruo, she fled like a little rabbit. However, Huang He didn't force her. After all, when most people hear something like this, their normal reaction is to run away.
Huang He wasn't stupid, nor was he emotionally oblivious. He knew very well that Leng Zhiruo liked him, liked this brother-in-law.
The reason Huang He had never given Leng Zhiruo a clear signal was that Huang He always felt a sense of detachment.
Since his rebirth, inheriting Huang He's identity, his factory and debts, as well as his five sisters-in-law, Huang He had always felt like he was drifting.
Everything was so real, and yet so unreal. What was more frightening was that, deep down, he didn't even know what he was living for.
To put it in a way, it was like reading an online novel. The novel was written exceptionally well, completely drawing Huang He in. But when night fell and it was quiet, Huang He would occasionally wake up with a start, feeling like an observer. This feeling always prevented Huang He from settling down, from truly merging with this world.
It wasn't until today, after Huang He had set his five small goals, that he felt a sudden enlightenment, a clarity of everything. He felt that he had truly integrated into this world, no longer a bystander.
Because Huang He had found his point of existence and meaning in this world. From this moment on, his identity as a transmigrator could no longer restrain Huang He. He had truly become one with this entire world.
It was also at this moment that the love for the lovely Leng Zhiruo, which had been hidden deep within his heart, surged out uncontrollably, turning Huang He into a wolf and even leading him to propose directly, scaring Leng Zhiruo away.
"This is truly a real and beautiful world!" As he got out of the car and looked at the sky over Wenzhou, Huang He sighed.
