Chapter 219 I'm Back

Xie Liuyan was in complete darkness, and everything around him was eerily silent.

He walked forward step by step, but could not see a glimmer of light.

Suddenly, countless points of light appeared in the darkness. When he touched a small white point of light with his fingertip, the surrounding darkness quickly dissipated.

The scenery before him changed wildly, and finally he opened his eyes and stared fixedly at the white ceiling above him.

Where is this place?

Xie Liuyan casually lifted the silk quilt covering him and slowly sat up.

"Uh~~"

Countless memories flooded his mind like movie plots, causing a headache.

Xie Liuyan frowned, touched his forehead with his hand, and slowly absorbed the memories in his mind.

When he sorted everything out, his heart was filled with turmoil.

He actually returned to the first small world, in a way he had never imagined.

After receiving the puppet's memories, Xie Liuyan's feelings became complicated.

The puppeteers never fulfilled the promises he made.

The wisp of divine soul left behind in this small world merely maintains a normal daily life, keeping this body from dying.

However, he couldn't bring himself to contact Shen Wangchuan.

He rarely answered calls from the other party, as this wisp of his soul was unable to meet their expectations and was even more indifferent than before.

After Xie Liuyan had sorted everything out, he tentatively called out to 0526:

"0526, are you there?"

The familiar voice did not appear in his mind, and Xie Liuyan pondered.

He was able to come to this world this time because he was in a cultivation world and was ambushed by 004, which caused his soul to briefly leave his body and be caught in the dimensional rift.

He just happened to choose a spot of light, which is why he ended up in this dimension.

The likelihood of these events occurring individually is extremely small; it's unexpected that he would encounter them all.

Enough of that. He stopped thinking about the cause and effect, got up, walked to a table in the distance, and picked up his phone.

Looking at the time displayed on the screen, Xie Liuyan's heart beat faster.

Five years have passed since he last came to this plane.

That Shen Wangchuan...

For a rare moment, Xie Liuyan panicked. Without further hesitation, he swiped his finger across the ticketing app and selected the fastest flight back to China.

After his phone showed that the order had been successfully placed, Xie Liuyan immediately packed his bags and prepared to return to China.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Shen Wangchuan.

B市

Zhao Ruolin had a bit of bad luck today. First, her mother called early in the morning to urge her to go on a blind date. Then, she didn't check the almanac before leaving home and got into a minor car accident.

When he arrived at the company, it was clear that he was late.

Fortunately, their company is not large and they don't hire many people, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to sneak into his office quietly.

As he slowed his pace, he sighed inwardly:

Even if someone becomes the company's vice president, they still have to be as cautious as an employee!

That's not all. Just thinking about how his workstation was next to Shen Wangchuan's made him sigh.

Since the person who could control this kid went abroad, Shen Wangchuan's originally unrestrained and arrogant personality has gradually disappeared.

He became more taciturn and much more composed in his actions.

After graduating from university, Shen Wangchuan received job offers from a reputable listed company, thanks to his honors earned during his time at the university.

Zhao Ruolin herself also went to work for another company with a decent reputation.

After two years of stability, Shen Wangchuan suddenly approached him and said he wanted to start his own business. He had also saved up a considerable amount of money during his two years of work.

And so, the two of them, with sheer courage, managed to break into the financial circle of City B.

Although their venture capital firm is not large, it has finally gained a foothold after three years of hard work.

The only thing that worried him was Shen Wangchuan's reckless work ethic.

The other person's eyes used to be bright, but now when he occasionally met their gaze, he could only see that Shen Wangchuan's eyes were empty and blank, like a wasteland overgrown with weeds.

The owners had long since given up on managing it, which made outsiders feel sad and distressed.

Sigh... I still haven't forgotten that person.

He had just shaken his head and sighed, and was about to enter the cubicle, when someone patted him on the shoulder.

A deep, cold voice sounded from the side:

"Zhao Ruolin, you're late today. Half of your bonus will be deducted this month."

Zhao Ruolin was so shocked that she almost fell into the cubicle. When she turned around, she saw Shen Wangchuan's deadpan face.

"Dude, you don't need to pat me on the shoulder next time, you scared the wits out of me!!"

Shen Wangchuan didn't reply to him, but turned and walked towards his office.

"Don't forget the meeting at 10 a.m., you are the speaker today."

Zhao Ruolin watched his retreating figure and sighed: Damn it, when will Xie Liuyan come back and keep this kid in check?

Working under Shen Wangchuan, he'll suffer heart failure sooner or later.

Time quickly reached ten o'clock. Zhao Ruolin stood in front of the long table, holding a remote control, and began to explain using the PowerPoint presentation:

"As you can see, Linghaifeng Group's cars are aimed at low- and mid-range customers and have huge market potential."

"...If we invest when they are short of funds, we can acquire a controlling stake in them."

I think...

Fortunately, Zhao Ruolin was prepared, so it wasn't too difficult for her to explain.

He spoke eloquently to the audience, showcasing his research and analytical skills.

Suddenly, the long table emitted a piercing sound, attracting everyone's attention.

A director sitting at the far end noticed Mr. Shen's unusual behavior and asked:

"Does General Manager Shen have any objections to Vice President Zhao's proposal?"

Zhao Ruolin then realized that it was Shen Wangchuan who made the noise.

What's going on? Isn't this guy supposed to be the most quiet person in meetings? He usually waits until the presenter has finished speaking before expressing his opinions.

Shen Wangchuan waved his hand and coughed lightly:

"No, I just accidentally bumped into the table."

His explanation brought everyone's attention back to the stage.

Only Shen Wangchuan stared intently at the suddenly lit phone screen, which displayed a short text message:

"I am back."

The phone number was one he had memorized thousands of times, and the nickname for him had changed from Xie Liuyan to three periods.

Someone he had never contacted before suddenly messaged him today.

Shen Wangchuan clenched his fists, and his heart, which he thought had long since calmed down, began to ache again.

Was it a scam text message or did the person really send him a message?

Shen Wangchuan was unsure, but he controlled his trembling hands as he typed and sent a message:

Where are you?

Xie Liuyan, who had just disembarked from the plane in Pear City after transferring from City A, saw the message, lowered his suitcase from the wheel, and replied:

"I just got off the plane in Pear City."

Upon seeing the words "Pear City," Shen Wangchuan's usually indifferent eyes darkened, and his clenched fist tightened even more.

He struggled to resist the urge to call, replying carefully, word by word:

"Book another plane ticket. I'll wait for you at the airport in City B, no matter how late!"

Xie Liuyan glanced at the azure sky outside the airport, quickly opened the ticket booking app, and booked a ticket to City B.

Pear City is a bit far from City B; it will probably be dark by the time we get there.

Nevertheless, he replied as he walked toward the counter:

"it is good."

Seeing his reply, Shen Wangchuan's mood calmed down considerably.

Just then, Zhao Ruolin finished his presentation, and everyone was waiting for Shen Wangchuan's comments.

Unexpectedly, Shen Wangchuan simply said, "There's no problem. Secretary Wu, please summarize the meeting results later. I have an urgent matter to attend to."

He left in a hurry, and Zhao Ruolin only saw his back before she could ask him anything.

What's wrong with Shen Wangchuan today? Unless the sky is falling, when have he ever seen this guy in such a hurry?
