Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 685 - 683: It’s for your girlfriend, right? (Part 1)
After the contract for Nuonuo and Little Treasure was signed, the filming was tentatively scheduled for two months later.
Taking advantage of this free time, Da Bao started getting involved in the busy work of the subsidiary company.
The subsidiary company managed by Da Bao is called Glory Network Company.
The company name was chosen by Da Bao.
Of course, this was not a coincidence. Da Bao remembers when he was five or six years old, there was a period when Daddy and Grandpa’s relationship was very tense. At one point, Daddy wanted to rename the Ji Group to Glory Group, which was the predecessor of the Ji Family and was Da Bao’s great-grandfather’s family company.
The renaming plan, for some reason, was eventually shelved, and the Ji Group’s name has continued to this day. According to Da Bao’s guess, it was probably because Daddy and Grandpa’s relationship had finally improved a bit, so they didn’t want to hurt each other’s feelings over a name.
But Da Bao knew that Daddy actually cared a lot about his mother and the grandparents he had never met, so when the subsidiary was acquired and renamed, Da Bao used the company name that had belonged to his great-grandfather, trusting that he could bring the glory era to Daddy and great-grandmother once again.
Of course, Glory Network is still a bit far away from true glory, but Da Bao has a steadiness and vision beyond his years. He is patient and doesn’t aim too high or choose lucrative but short-lived businesses for quick gains.
Instead, he chose two businesses that have been very popular in recent years: online games and various professional software development, as the company’s main ventures. After two years of operation, the company has gained a group of elite backbones.
Recently, this group of elite backbones developed the first large-scale online game belonging to Glory Network, which has been completed. It is expected to launch during the winter break, with internal beta testing before the public release.
As a result, Da Bao, the general manager, has been working overtime day and night like the other employees. Glory is a bit far from the Ji Family, even with a smooth ride, it takes nearly an hour one way. When people get busy, they realize the value of time. To save time, Da Bao simply packed some simple luggage from home and moved into the single apartment prepared by the company for employees.
Fortunately, there aren’t many courses this semester, so Da Bao basically doesn’t have to worry about his studies.
What he cares about are his siblings.
That day, while chatting about work and having lunch in the office with Zhong Hao, Da Bao received a call from Le Tong.
"Baby, when are you coming home? Nuonuo and Little Treasure haven’t seen their Brother Da Bao for days, they are almost putting out a missing person poster!"
Of course, Le Tong as a mother also misses her eldest son dearly, but she understands that as kids grow older, they will eventually leave their parents. So, although she misses her son, she doesn’t want to use her affection as a tool to bind her son’s emotions and freedom.
Of course, Da Bao calls home every day, but no one has ever told him to come home sooner, including Little Treasure and Nuonuo.
It’s just that the situation outside of the calls is something Da Bao dares not to think about because he fears the moment he thinks of those little ones, he will be tempted to skip work and go see his siblings.
If it weren’t for Nuonuo and Little Treasure being really noisy, Le Tong definitely wouldn’t have made this call.
"Mom, wait a minute..."
Da Bao moved the phone away, asked Zhong Hao about tonight’s work schedule, then placed the phone back to his ear.
"Mom, I’ll come home for dinner tonight, but I can’t pick up Nuonuo and Little Treasure."
After he hung up the phone, Zhong Hao patted his shoulder and advised, "Young Master Yu, it seems like the two little ones at home are quite dependent on you. I think you should move back home!"
But Da Bao shook his head, "Who doesn’t have a family? If I can’t lead by example, why should I expect you all to stay up all night watching a bunch of beta test data?"
Da Bao is the Crown Prince of the Ji Group; even if he loafed around all day, no one would dare say a word about him.
But in Da Bao’s opinion, he is Ji Yu. The impressive achievements of the Ji Group only relate to Daddy and Mommy, not him. And he is only in the starting phase of his career. Each step Glory Network takes in its growth represents his career’s progress.
Zhong Hao clicked his tongue and shook his head, "Like father, like son. Who would have thought that someone of your age would have the same insight as your parents? No wonder Ji Group’s performance has soared in recent years, and the scale continues to grow."
"Uncle Hao, thank you for your effort tonight! My phone will be on all the time. If there’s any issue, feel free to contact me immediately."
The two chatted about work for a while longer, and as they talked, Zhong Hao shifted the topic to Yin Zhihao and Ren Weiqi.
"Zhao Hao has a quick mind, and his mentor speaks highly of him. Wei Qi may not be as sharp as Zhao Hao, but he is solid and pragmatic. He should become a great help to you in the future."
"Yeah, I’ll hold onto these compliments for them first and let them sharpen themselves with hard work before saying anything else."
In business matters, Da Bao never practices favoritism. Because what he needs are capable and competent helpers, not useless people only connected through nepotism.
In the evening, Da Bao took a taxi home. When the car stopped at the red light at the intersection, a long row of flower baskets was arranged in front of the shops at the corner. A few days ago, when he carried his luggage back to the company, this shop was still under renovation. Out of curiosity, Da Bao looked carefully and saw through the glass door that it was filled with all sorts of charming candies; turns out it was a candy store.
"Uncle driver, please drop me off at that store."
After not being home for a few days, Da Bao wanted to buy some fun and yummy treats from the candy store to amuse Nuonuo and Little Treasure.
Although the two kids’ biological age had already moved past the juvenile stage, their love for candy never faded. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Le Tong worried they might get tooth decay from consuming too much sugar, so she usually didn’t let them eat much candy at home.
Da Bao hadn’t seen his siblings for a few days, breaking the rules once wouldn’t hurt.
Da Bao pushed open the door to the candy store only to be greeted by a ponytailed girl wearing a uniform, "Hi handsome, what would you like to buy?"
Da Bao nodded at her, "I’ll have a look first..."
The candy store had a large selection, with colorful and varied jellybeans, hard sweets, and lollipops beautifully displayed in glass containers.
The lollipops came in particularly diverse styles; they had all kinds of cute and lively cartoon designs, as well as various plants and animals, each distinct and exquisite. To call them lollipops wouldn’t do them justice; they seemed more like works of art.
Da Bao was a bit dazzled by the vast range of options, unsure of what to buy for a moment.
"May I ask, who are you buying these for?" the girl on the side seemed to notice his difficulty.
"For your girlfriend, perhaps?" Without waiting for Da Bao to reply, she asked another question.
