I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Chapter 150 I'll also sing "West Sea Love Song"

After a moment of confusion, Xiao Bonian finally asked what it meant for Xiao Qingxuan to join Anjia Household Management, and asked Shen Kang to translate it for him.

Shen Kang simply translated it, saying it meant the literal meaning, and added at the end, "Professor Xiao, this is a good thing!"

Xiao Qingxuan watched from the side, unsure whether it was a good thing or not, but her uncle was clearly against it.

You're right to oppose it!

Xiao Qingxuan was wondering how she had inexplicably joined the An family. But seeing Xiao Bonian's reaction, she suddenly felt that joining the An family seemed like the right thing to do.

"Professor Xiao, why don't we go inside and talk?" Shen Kang interrupted Xiao Bonian as he was about to say something.

Xiao Bonian looked at him and agreed, then turned and walked towards the study. "Let's talk in the study."

Xiao Qingxuan looked at Shen Kang.

Shen Kang gave her a look, mouthed "Leave it to me," and then followed Xiao Bonian into the study.

After entering the study, Shen Kang's gaze swept around the room before finally landing on the computer case on the desk: it was a tempered glass case, the computer was already running, and the lights inside the case were emitting colorful light, making it a rare RGB case these days.

Shen Kang walked to the desk and sat down, somewhat surprised. "I didn't expect you to use such an RGB-lit case. It's so trendy! It's giving me rheumatism."

,

Xiao Bonian sat down behind his desk, his originally serious face suddenly breaking into laughter at Xiao's comment that he was "so trendy he's gotten rheumatism."

She also explained: "Overly cluttered lighting can indeed be distracting and reduce work efficiency. However, as long as you adjust the lighting to a suitable setting, these lights can actually inspire your creativity."

"I work with these lights on during moments that require creativity to stimulate inspiration. When I don't need to be creative, I turn the lights off to improve my focus."

Shen Kang had a new point of curiosity: "Professor Xiao, does the field of artificial intelligence also require a lot of inspiration?"

"Of course. Working on artificial intelligence requires original thinking skills, and the ability to explore and break through the boundaries of algorithms and models based on a deep understanding of science and technology."

After speaking for a while, Xiao Bonian suddenly realized that he was supposed to talk to Shen Kang about Xiao Qingxuan, so why was he talking about these things?

So he changed the subject back: "Don't change the subject, let's talk about Xuanxuan."

Shen Kang then began by recounting the events of the day concerning Xiao Qingxuan, starting from this morning.

After listening, Xiao Bonian finally understood why Xiao Qingxuan had changed her clothes.

"Professor Xiao, I thought professors like you all used those big, black computer cases."

"Your method is indeed quite effective. She told me before that she didn't have many demands, she just wanted to keep her dad's glasses shop running. Now, thanks to what you did, she has changed her mind, which is a good thing."

After learning about today's events, Xiao Bonian could guess why Shen Kang wanted Xiao Qingxuan to join the An family.

Xiao Qingxuan sat on the sofa in the living room with the TV on, but her mind was not on the TV at all, and her gaze kept drifting towards the study.

In her heart, she thought, if all else fails, she'll have to threaten her uncle by cutting her wrists.

She's also become path-dependent.

It was under her watchful gaze that she saw her uncle and Shen Kang come out of the study.

Shen Kang smiled at her and announced some good news: "Professor Xiao has finally agreed."

Xiao Qingxuan then looked at Xiao Bonian and saw him nod.

This surprised and delighted Xiao Qingxuan: This Shen Kang is really good at talking; he actually convinced her uncle! Now that's great, she doesn't have to threaten to cut her wrists anymore, since it still hurts quite a bit.

After settling things here, Shen Kang left, saying he would come to pick up Xiao Qingxuan tomorrow morning.

Xiao Bonian originally wanted to invite Shen Kang to stay for dinner, but then he thought that it was best not to let Xuanxuan find out that he and Shen Kang were in cahoots. So he didn't invite him and just cooked dinner and ate with Xiao Qingxuan.

At the dinner table, Xiao Bonian kept reminding everyone: "Since you're really going to work, you have to take it seriously, not just play around—it's your first job, so make sure you get along well with your colleagues—"

Xiao Qingxuan buried herself in her rice, responding to the words, her heart filled with anticipation for her upcoming work career.

Shen Kang had mentioned Meng Dawei before, whom she had met at the An family's dinner party last night. In her opinion, if even Meng Dawei was valued so highly by Shen Kang, who even said he would be able to manage the business of the entire Yangcheng City in the future, wouldn't she have a brighter future if she went to the An family?

Xiao Qingxuan seemed to have already seen that future scene:

Anjia held its national annual meeting, with dozens of tables set up, attended by senior management and some middle management from all over the country. Shengyuan Group has also acquired a stake in Anjia, and Ding Ling attended the meeting as the group's representative.

Stepping onto the stage in a Chanel business suit, I exuded confidence and charisma. At that moment, I was Anjia's CFO, the financial director. Second only to the CEO, above all others!

"It is a great honor to stand here and gather with you all. First of all, please allow me, on behalf of the company's finance department, to express our sincerest gratitude to every colleague who has worked hard at Anjia. Thank you all for your hard work! ————"

He summarized the past and looked to the future, which drew thunderous applause from the audience. Ding Ling was looking at him with admiration.

After the speech, some people started to urge others to sing a song on this joyous occasion.

After repeatedly declining, he finally took the liberty of performing "West Sea Love Song".

Some people, eager to curry favor, even organized a dozen or so handsome men to come up and dance behind them.

The executives below stood in a row, all holding DV cameras and recording.

Halfway through the song, President Shen presented himself with a large bouquet of flowers, saying with great emotion, "The best decision I've ever made in my life was recruiting you, Xiao Qingxuan, into Anjia! Anjia's success today is largely due to you! When I retire in two years, this CEO position will be yours!" ————

"Xuanxuan, what are you laughing at?"

Xiao Bonian asked in confusion.

Across from him, Xiao Qingxuan's cheeks were bulging, stuffed full of rice, and she was chuckling, with rice grains constantly falling from her mouth.

Hearing Xiao Bonian's voice, Xiao Qingxuan finally came to her senses. She quickly chewed several large mouthfuls and swallowed the food in her mouth whole, saying calmly, "It's nothing, I just thought of something happy."

Xiao Bonian felt quite confused, but still reminded him, "Don't just eat rice, eat more meat and vegetables."

"understood."

Xiao Qingxuan picked up a piece of beef with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. After chewing it a couple of times, she couldn't help but secretly gloat. She couldn't wait to join Anjia, work hard, get promoted and get a raise, become the CFO, and then kick that old geezer Shen Kang out of the company and become the CEO herself.

The next morning, Shen Kang picked up Xiao Qingxuan early and took her to the store in the High-tech Zone. He then helped her complete her onboarding process and sign an employment contract.

Xiao Qingxuan is seventeen years old this year. According to the Labor Contract Law promulgated on January 1st of this year, anyone who is sixteen years old or older can sign a labor contract. Those who are under eighteen years old but over sixteen years old are considered underage workers. As long as they comply with the "Special Protection Regulations for Underage Workers," there shouldn't be any problems.

Shen Kang had already discussed this with Li Xiangjun last night, telling her to wait here today. After completing the onboarding process, he handed Xiao Qingxuan over to Li Xiangjun directly.

After spending the morning keeping watch over Anjia, Shen Kang had lunch at the shop and then drove to Yin Mingyang's house.

He was planning to visit the orphanage this afternoon. It just so happens that Yin Mingyang wanted to catch up with him since they hadn't seen each other for over a month. He suggested that instead of playing games at the internet cafe, they could go to the orphanage together.

Yin Mingyang's family lived in an old-style residential area built in the last century. It was a staff and family housing building built by Yin Mingyang's father's work unit. Yin Mingyang's family was lucky and got one unit after waiting in line.

The neighborhood was very old, with no greenery at all. There were only three buildings in the entire neighborhood, and it was very small, making it difficult for cars to enter. So Shen Kang parked his car outside and walked in, easily finding his way to apartment 401 in building 2.

He had been to this place many times when he was a child. In his previous life, after graduating, before Yin Mingyang bought a house, he also lived here. When he came to find Yin Mingyang, he would come here, so he was very familiar with this place.

When I got to the door, I knocked and the door opened shortly after.

The woman who opened the door was in her forties. She had a perm and looked quite pretty when she was younger. She was Lanxiu, Yin Mingyang's mother.

Seeing that it was Shen Kang, Lan Xiu smiled kindly, "Oh, it's Shen Kang, here to play with Mingyang? Come in quickly." As she spoke, she opened the door and shouted Yin Mingyang's name into the house.

"Hello, Auntie," Shen Kang greeted her and went inside.

Yin Mingyang was always afraid of his mother, and every time he was in front of her, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. Shen Kang never understood this, since Lan Xiu was always quite kind whenever he went to Yin Mingyang's house.

This mystery has remained unsolved since his rebirth. The only explanation is that Yin Mingyang's mother has two different faces in front of outsiders and in front of Yin Mingyang.

Yin Mingyang's house is a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment of more than 70 square meters. The furnishings are all in the style of the last century. Some places, such as the TV, are covered with cloth, which is quite nostalgic.

Hearing his mother's call, Yin Mingyang also rushed out of the room, but instead of his usual boisterous manner, he said to Lanxiu with a slightly respectful tone, "Mom, I'm going out to play with Shen Kang for a while."

Lanxiu smiled kindly, "Okay, come back soon."

"Okay, Mom," Yin Mingyang said respectfully again, and then went out with Shen Kang in a proper manner.

Shen Kang couldn't help but laugh at his pretentious act, feeling as if he were seeing Li Lianying and Empress Dowager Cixi.

The two walked downstairs, and after hearing the door close upstairs and realizing they were already on the second floor, Yin Mingyang dropped his serious demeanor and started complaining, "Old Shen, you've had two days of vacation and you haven't come out to play! Every time I ask you to go to the internet cafe, you say you're busy."

Shen Kang: "Your mother is behind you."

Yin Mingyang was startled and turned his head sharply, but when he didn't see Lan Xiu, he breathed a sigh of relief. "You scared me again, you bastard."

Shen Kang wanted to laugh, "Why are you so afraid of your mother? I've asked you so many times and you still won't tell me."

"You don't understand, this is respect and love, not fear." Yin Mingyang didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Shen Kang quickly changed the subject, saying, "I'm really busy. You know, I own Anjia, and now that Anjia has grown so much, I need to handle more company matters since I'm back."

The two of them were talking when they went downstairs.

When Yin Mingyang heard him mention Anjia, he also thought of what happened yesterday. "By the way, Lao Shen, Zhang Yu said in our high school class group that you started a new company that makes rice cookers?"

Shen Kang hummed in agreement. "I suppose so."

Yin Mingyang was very envious, "Damn, it's really true! You're really going to make it big—"

The two chatted casually as they walked to the outside of the residential area.

Shen Kang mentioned going to the orphanage, and Yin Mingyang suggested going together. He then prepared to go to the bus stop to catch the bus, but Shen Kang stopped him and pointed to a car parked on the side of the road.

"I drove here."

After sitting in the back seat, Yin Mingyang was still a little dazed. "This is your car? You bought a BMW?"

"I'll borrow my friend's car for now," Shen Kang said, starting the car and driving towards Shenlan Waterfront. He had heard that He Qiuzhu wanted to go to the orphanage today, so he needed to go back and pick her up. Also, he had left some things he bought for the orphanage at Shenlan Waterfront and would bring them along.

"It would be great if we could borrow it. It would be so impressive to drive it to the school."

After Yin Mingyang finished speaking, he sighed, "Old Shen, if I were like you, with people investing in my company and lending me a BMW—sigh."

"?" Shen Kang sensed something in his voice. "You have a girl you like?"

Yin Mingyang was silent for a while, but finally felt that there was nothing he couldn't say to Lao Shen, so he simply said, "There is one. But I like her, and she doesn't seem to like me. I guess it's because I'm just an ordinary student. If I had a company and a car like you, she might look at me differently."

Shen Kang drove, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. "Is it possible that it's simply because of his face?"

"Go to hell, Lao Shen." Yin Mingyang was very annoyed.

Shen Kang laughed and said, "But I'm really quite surprised. You used to drag me to internet cafes to play games all the time, and you weren't interested in anything else. I thought you'd be playing games for four years in college. I didn't expect you to secretly fall in love with a girl."

According to his memories from his previous life, Yin Mingyang indeed didn't have a girlfriend during his four years of university, nor did he ever mention having a crush on any girl. This guy spent all his time playing video games in university, even forming a DOTA team and making a name for himself in Yangcheng.

Now, Yin Mingyang suddenly brought up the matter of having a crush on a girl, which might be a side effect of the changes in his environment caused by his reborn butterfly.

Yin Mingyang sighed again, "I also thought I wouldn't like any girls in college. After all, what's more fun than games? I even planned to form a DOTA team. But there's nothing I can do, she's different."

"She's very beautiful, but of course, I like her not because she's beautiful, but because she's kind."

Perhaps because he had been keeping it all inside and had no one to talk to, Yin Mingyang started talking non-stop now that he had someone to confide in, praising the girl to the skies.

Amidst his rambling incoherently, Shen Kang drove to Shenlan Waterfront. Instead of driving in, he stopped outside and asked him to wait a moment. He then got out and went inside. A little while later, he came out carrying two large bags filled with items to be sent to the orphanage, accompanied by He Qiuzhu.

After putting the things in the trunk and getting in the car, Shen Kang drove towards the orphanage. He Qiuzhu also greeted Yin Mingyang.

Yin Mingyang, who had been praising his goddess endlessly, fell silent—he couldn't bring himself to do it in front of his girlfriend, Shen Kang.

Seeing that Yin Mingyang remained silent, Shen Kang spoke up: "Old Yin, I've started a few more businesses at the university, mainly targeting college students. The plan is to expand to most of the universities in Yangcheng, and sooner or later it will extend to the High-tech University Town. I'll give you a minor official position and a car, and maybe then, just like you said, she'll start to look at you with new respect."

Yin Mingyang studied at Qianlin National University, a first-tier university, in the University Town of the High-tech Zone.

It's really frustrating. Most of the schools in the High-tech Zone are first-tier universities, while most of the schools in the Beilu District are second-tier universities.

Upon hearing Shen Kang's words, Yin Mingyang's eyes lit up. "Really? You've started a few more businesses while you're at school?"

"Why would I lie to you about this? It's definitely true. But if she still doesn't seem interested in you by then, you'll have to admit it's a matter of looks."

"Go to hell!"

"Shen Kang, why did he send you to the spa?" He Qiuzhu asked curiously.

"He probably felt that I was working too hard and was concerned about me, so he wanted me to go to a spa to relax."

The three chatted along the way and soon arrived near the orphanage.

On the bike path by the roadside, among the stream of bicycles, one person stood out: a man in his early twenties, dressed simply, riding an electric wheelchair, moving forward on the bike path at a speed similar to that of the cyclists.

The man seemed to be in a bad mood, his face full of sorrow and his brows furrowed.

After spotting the person, Shen Kang drove the car forward a short distance, found an entrance, pulled in, parked the car on the side of the road, got out, and waited by the roadside.

The person in the electric wheelchair also stopped here.

"Brother Jian." Shen Kang greeted him with a smile.

Yin Mingyang and He Qiuzhu also got out of the car. Upon seeing the man, Yin Mingyang also called out "Brother Jian".
