CHAPTER 826: CHAPTER 727: DISLOCATED LIVES 25

Wen Shuangshuang is truly outstanding. Zhu Shihao, feeling somewhat defeated, instinctively avoided interacting with her, and couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated because the gap between them was too vast.

Yet, beyond his frustration and resistance, Zhu Shihao really wanted to get closer to Wen Shuangshuang, this remarkable person who even made him feel somewhat inferior.

But previously, Wen Shuangshuang had been chatting with Zhu Wanpeng and Secretary Chen, discussing business without sparing him a glance, and even when Zhu Wanpeng was playing games, Wen Shuangshuang hadn’t tried to engage in conversation with him, preferring to read and pass the time, which made Zhu Shihao feel a bit annoyed.

This irritation made Zhu Shihao stubbornly refuse to be the first to make a friendly gesture towards Wen Shuangshuang. Though appearing awkward, he wasn’t actually opposed to building a good relationship with her.

When Wen Shuangshuang finally came over, Zhu Shihao became enthusiastic. Being a smart person, he stayed away from fields he wasn’t skilled in, avoiding topics like business or computer programming, and instead discussed some school life topics with Wen Shuangshuang.

He shared interesting stories from his school days and then asked Wen Shuangshuang about hers. The conversation felt like one between people of the same age but carried some adult maturity, and it indeed sparked Wen Shuangshuang’s interest.

Wen Shuangshuang hadn’t spent much time in school despite having experienced many reincarnations, and Zhu Shihao’s conversational skills were quite good. He, along with Zhu Wanpeng and Secretary Chen, seamlessly catered to the conversation with Wen Shuangshuang.

One must say, despite Zhu Shihao being a third-generation military and second-generation wealthy family member, he didn’t have the bad temper typical of rich young masters. He was very smooth, and alongside Zhu Wanpeng, he could flatter someone so thoroughly that you’d forget your own name.

However, Wen Shuangshuang remained calm throughout, completely unmoved, always maintaining a polite demeanor. Her composure made Zhu Wanpeng and Secretary Chen a bit anxious.

Wen Shuangshuang’s demeanor was like an old fox in the business world. Zhu Wanpeng feared she might be dissatisfied with the price offered, which could become troublesome, especially if Wen Shuangshuang had high expectations, leading to prolonged haggling.

However difficult, the talks had to continue. As the atmosphere grew heated, Zhu Wanpeng finally stated his offer. To ensure Wen Shuangshuang was not displeased, he increased the proposed price by another ten million, to sixty million, plus five percent of the net profits after game operations.

Wen Shuangshuang agreed swiftly, so quickly that Zhu Wanpeng and Secretary Chen were taken aback. Although surprised, they could understand. After all, their company’s technical staff often didn’t concern themselves with matters outside of technology.

Zhu Wanpeng mused that although Wen Shuangshuang was eloquent and good at communication, she was fundamentally a technical person. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have developed such a good game, so it wasn’t strange for her to be indifferent to external matters.

Actually, Zhu Wanpeng had completely misjudged Wen Shuangshuang’s mindset. Her agreeable nature was because, in her eyes, the game software that seemed miraculous to Zhu Wanpeng wasn’t that important.

Thus, the price didn’t matter much to Wen Shuangshuang. Truth be told, she would have accepted even ten million from Zhu Wanpeng, let alone sixty million plus five percent net profit.

They signed the contract on the spot, and Zhu Wanpeng immediately transferred the money to Wen Shuangshuang’s account, which was actually Liu Yun’s account, but had always been used by Wen Shuangshuang. Liu Yun only deposited money into it, never checking or using it, and the card was always with Wen Shuangshuang.

With the collaboration confirmed and the money given, Zhu Wanpeng was completely at ease, and they began to relax with food and drink. During this time, Zhu Wanpeng, Zhu Shihao, and Secretary Chen no longer subtly lauded Wen Shuangshuang but instead casually befriended her in conversation.

The atmosphere remained good. After dinner, as night fell, Zhu Wanpeng personally drove Wen Shuangshuang home before leaving.

Wen Shuangshuang, with a bank card now containing sixty million and a contract entitling her to five percent of the game’s net profits, walked home with a spring in her step. After all this time, she finally had money, and in the future, an endless stream of profit would flow into her pocket each year.

Not to brag, but with the game she created, earning gold daily was minimal. Her annual share was expected to reach at least a hundred million; as long as she continued to update the game periodically, she wouldn’t need to find other ways to earn money.

When Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun saw the money and contract Wen Shuangshuang brought back, they were dumbfounded. What kind of incredible game software had she developed to earn so much money!

After the shock passed, Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun were thrilled, not expecting their child to be so outstanding. Wen Jianyun looked at Wen Shuangshuang with a particularly proud gaze, "Daddy’s Shuangshuang is amazing, earning so much money at such a young age, much more outstanding than I am!"

Liu Yun also beamed with a smile, "Looks like your dad and I have someone to carry on after us, we can start planning to hand over our business to you early. Then your dad and I can travel the world, which was our dream when we got married."

Wen Jianyun agreed and added with a sigh, "After we got married, your mom and I began taking over the company, busying ourselves daily. We thought we’d have to wait until we were old and could barely walk before we could travel. But now that our Shuangshuang is so capable, she can take over soon, and our dream can be realized earlier."

Then Liu Yun and Wen Jianyun began enthusiastically planning where to travel and what sights to see after handing over their work to their daughter. They listed countless domestic and international places, bubbling over with excitement.

Wen Shuangshuang watched this with a smile, thinking about how loving these two were. She was certain now that there was some kind of misunderstanding, a big one, for such loving parents to suddenly change their attitude toward her. She was determined to find out what caused it.

Actually, Wen Shuangshuang had a suspect in mind, Fang Zhijin. It was easy to speculate, as when Wen Shuangshuang left the Wen Family, Fang Zhijin entered. If anyone had the opportunity to manipulate things and make Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun lose faith in her, their adopted daughter, who else could it be but Fang Zhijin?

In her past life, Wen Shuangshuang left the Wen Family at the age of eighteen as a young girl and had never quarreled with anyone. Although she studied alone, she hadn’t offended anyone, and had no enemies.

Wen Shuangshuang had no enemies, and strangers had no reason to frame her without benefit. The only person who could have been at odds with her and gained from her being away from the Wen Family was Fang Zhijin, due to an accidental identity swap. No one else could possibly benefit.
