Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Affection and Overindulgence

Even while asleep, Wu Tian was aware of the disturbance. From the movements, the sound of the heartbeat, and other cues, he already knew who it was: Murong Yezi.

As soon as she entered the room, she walked to the side of the bed. She looked at Wu Tian, then at her granddaughter, and couldn’t help but smile.

I didn’t realize my son had become so outstanding. The little rascal has really grown up, she thought. He even has a daughter now.

Murong Yezi was still youthful. Although in her thirties, her appearance and complexion made her look as if she were only in her twenties, possessing the full aura of a mature woman.

She reached out, took her granddaughter into her arms, and left the room.

Wu Tian was inwardly frustrated. Clearly, Mom is worried I can’t take care of my daughter properly. She still treats me like a child.

The next day, when Wu Tian got up, Murong Yezi had already prepared breakfast. Wu Tian rarely cooked, as Murong Yezi usually handled it; this was one of her joys.

So, Wu Tian went to Murong Yezi’s room to get the little one. She was already awake but simply refused to get out of bed.

“Get up.”

“No,” the little girl refused.

“Then I’m going to spank you,” Wu Tian said, reaching out his hand.

“Go ahead.”

The little girl pulled down her own pants, presenting her snow-white bottom to Wu Tian. Before he could even move, she began to cry, “Mommy, Daddy wants to hit me!”

“What’s wrong? What’s happening?”

The noise attracted Qin Yuhan. The moment she arrived, she glared at Wu Tian with suspicion.

Wu Tian had no choice but to explain the situation to her.

Instantly, Qin Yuhan and Wu Tian were on the same side. They knew they couldn’t let the little one stay in bed, couldn’t spoil her, and couldn’t allow her to form this bad habit.

Qin Yuhan went straight over, picked the little girl up, and took her to wash up and eat. After a great deal of dawdling, the little one was reluctantly carried into the car by Qin Yuhan.

“You should get a driver’s license,” Qin Yuhan said to Wu Tian in the car.

Wu Tian gave a casual smile. Qin Yuhan still didn’t know his secret. The news that Nalan Feng had gone blind had spread all over Yang City, but no one knew who was responsible. Some reporters claimed it was Nangong Yi, but because of Xiao Liang’s influence, the wealthy individuals who were there no longer spoke of the matter.

On the way to the kindergarten, the little girl had an unhappy look on her face. “Can… can I go back to sleep?” she asked timidly.

“No,” Wu Tian refused decisively.

Children needed sufficient sleep, but oversleeping wasn’t good for them, either. You could dote on a child, but you couldn’t spoil them.

When they arrived at the kindergarten, Wu Tian handed her over to Lin Mo.

“Teacher, did you know? My daddy mentioned you last night.” As soon as she was in Lin Mo’s arms, this was the first thing the little girl said.

Wu Tian was exasperated. When did I ever mention Lin Mo?

Lin Mo, however, was curious. “What did your daddy say about me?” she asked.

“He said you have a great body, big boobs, and a perky butt, and that if he could…”

At that, the little girl fell silent. Lin Mo’s face turned beet red, and she shot Wu Tian a stern look.

Wu Tian, as well as Qin Yuhan in the car, were both stunned. This little girl’s revenge is truly vicious.

Without offering an explanation, Wu Tian got back in the car and left with Qin Yuhan.

Qin Yuhan dropped Wu Tian off on a street outside the Qin Corporation, and he walked toward the building on his own.

In the early morning, some of the shops on the street hadn’t opened yet, but there were plenty of breakfast vendors. The most common shops to open early in Yang City were those selling rice noodle rolls, and the air was filled with the aroma of lean pork and egg rolls.

Liang Qingren happened to run into Wu Tian. “I’ve noticed you come in very early every day,” she said with a smile. “Work starts at eight, and it’s only seven now.”

“A regular schedule is good for your health,” Wu Tian replied.

Liang Qingren sized Wu Tian up again. She noticed his expression was the same as always: calm and serene, without a trace of the anxiety and oppression that gripped others now that the world-class family had arrived. Perhaps as an Innate expert, he feels that his achievements on the Martial Path are enough, and business is inconsequential to him, she thought.

However, she had no idea that this was not what Wu Tian was thinking. Who doesn’t want to be an all-rounder? Who doesn’t want to be number one in every field? Since I’ve been given this rare chance to return from the Immortal Emperor Realm, I’m going to become the person I always wanted to be when I was young.

When Wu Tian and Liang Qingren arrived at the corporation, it was only 7:11 a.m. It was still a while before work started, but many people were already there. They were gathered among the flowerbeds and in the small pavilions outside the building, reading business books. Reading in the morning tended to make one look energetic and full of life, but most of them wore worried frowns. They knew that cramming at the last minute was useless, yet they felt they had no other choice.

Upon reaching the logistics department, Lin Fa saw Wu Tian arrive and immediately went up to him. “Boss, has he come to bother you again?”

From Lin Fa’s solemn expression, Wu Tian knew who he was referring to.

Lin Tianlong.

“No,” Wu Tian said.

Lin Fa nodded. “He’s never experienced any real hardship in his life. He isn’t capable of something like the Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage.”

Wu Tian nodded in agreement. In truth, Zhuge Liang’s challenge to Liu Bei to make the Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage was a test. If Liu Bei had lacked even that much patience, Zhuge Liang would not have held him in high regard.

Of course, as for Lin Tianlong, Wu Tian had no desire to befriend him, regardless of his efforts.

Numerous voices echoed in the corridor.

“Why are Apple’s sales dropping? Because…”

“How do you sell phones? You should…”

“There are many new paths for everyone now, like writing…”

A cacophony of voices filled the air as the morning passed, with everyone in the corporation working diligently.

At noon, people either went out to a restaurant or headed to the catering department.

On his way to the catering department, Wu Tian ran into Liang Qingren again. He also ran into Nangong Yi, who still looked at him with an air of superiority. This was because Bing Hong had told him that Wu Tian had only been able to create those two plans by finding the answers in Lin Fa’s books.

But Wu Tian paid him no mind. What’s the point of arguing over who’s right or wrong?

During lunch in the catering department, Lin Fa, Wu Tian, and Liang Qingren sat together.

Looking a little embarrassed, Lin Fa turned to Liang Qingren. “I know you graduated from college with a degree in finance. I have a question, if you don’t mind?”

Liang Qingren nodded. “Go ahead,” she replied.

“There’s a company whose reputation has been seriously damaged. Its chairman…”

The more Liang Qingren listened, the deeper her brow furrowed. The chairman’s reputation is completely ruined. This company can’t be saved.

While eating, Wu Tian listened in. After carefully considering the problem, he felt it was tricky, but not unsolvable. Naturally, Liang Qingren was unable to devise a solution. She and Lin Fa discussed it for a long time but couldn’t come up with a feasible plan.

Wu Tian thought for a moment. Deciding to give Lin Fa a hint, he changed the subject. “Have you two heard the story of Wei Zhongxian?”
