Chapter 436: Demonic Invasion, Heroes Fall, Earth Weeps!
Yang Genshuo plans to stay at home for 15 days during the New Year, temporarily slowing down the game to a 1:1 speed, just walking slowly.
When he returns, he'll start to speed up again, directly to the ancestral worship of the year.
During these 15 days, unless a member of the Yang Family needs him, he doesn't plan to check in.
He's tired.
"In 15 days, there shouldn't be anything else, right?"
"It's just right to give myself a break and enjoy modern life."
In the past six months, Yang Genshuo communicated very little with people, mostly arranging work for the You Xianqi Group, the rest of the time he spent talking to himself at home, feeling a bit worn out.
"I need to let go and live in the moment."
This was Yang Genshuo's true thought.
Going home for the New Year is a rather mystical thing.
Some people want to go home, others don't, but normal families generally want to return home...
It's just that certain external factors influence this outcome.
In plain language, it depends on how well you're doing.
Obviously, there are two big winners this year; they are definitely going to have a good year.
Best friend Guo Xiaozhi, before this year, was in the same situation as Yang Genshuo, wandering for years without leaving anything behind—a guy with no house, no car, no savings.
Licking dog Tian Zhe, every year going home was a disaster; he spent so many years with his mind only on Su Yanyan, giving his family a headache.
But this year is different. They have been reborn in the fire and have become legal representatives of various subsidiaries of the You Xianqi Group.
As for Cheng Bo... he has always been the pride of his family, and among these 30-year-old struggling brothers, he was doing the best, a genuine PhD and university associate professor!
"The meaning of success isn't it... having your best friends beside you and your beloved right across from you."
Yang Genshuo achieved that.
He doesn't like the life of a lone wolf; he enjoys having these friends. With them, life is more solid.
At this time, Lin Yue was also packing up to go home for the New Year.
Tonight was the last meal she cooked.
Yang Genshuo knew Lin Yue could also have a good New Year this year, because now he gives Lin Yue a fixed salary of ten thousand a month, along with paying her social insurance and housing fund.
With Lin Yue's frugality, she must have saved quite a bit this year.
But Yang Genshuo thought... it's still not enough.
Because Lin Yue's hometown is in a rather remote rural area, she and her mother depend on each other in the big city, there's also a grandmother at home, all rural people with no great skills.
"Without a man in the family, they'd get bullied in the village..."
Yang Genshuo thought for a moment and called over his personal driver Wang Wu.
"Little Wang, come here!"
Besides driving Yang Genshuo around, Wang Wu also usually helps Lin Yue by taking her to buy some ingredients and seasonings down the mountain and stands guard at the estate gate during the day.
Yang Genshuo told him to rest if he had nothing to do, but he insisted on standing guard, saying he'd prepare against those with ulterior motives, especially some wild streamers or ex-girlfriends who couldn't recognize their identities.
Last time, Wang Wu failed to recognize Chen Wanting and her friends and let them in, causing chaos, he has been feeling guilty ever since.
Yang Genshuo paid him a salary based on a private consultant's rate.
The other brothers who retired from the special forces... none have mixed as well as Wang Wu, he especially cherishes this opportunity.
"Mr. Yang, please give your instructions!"
Wang Wu jogged over, saluting formally.
"Don't be so formal... I remember you're an orphan, right?"
"Yes, my parents were gone when I was young... I've been on state aid for school, then joined the army later."
"Any plans for the New Year?"
"Mr. Guo said, I'm to escort you home this year and stay at a hotel near you, ready for your call anytime."
"He pretends better than I do, what's the big deal..."
Yang Genshuo had to admit, Guo Xiaozhi is truly good at pretending, even if he's not pretending, he does it for himself.
Hearing this, Wang Wu seriously said, "Mr. Yang, you are the behind-the-scenes boss of a major group; many things are inconvenient for you to do personally. You need someone to run errands for you, and I got nothing to do during the New Year, just drink with a few comrades for a few days."
"Hmm... fine, I'll give you a task."
"Please give your instructions, Mr. Yang."
"Tomorrow, take Lin Yue and her mother back to their hometown, protect them, don't let them be bullied, if there's anything they need at home, just buy it, charged to the company."
"Understood! But... Mr. Yang, how will you get home?"
Wang Wu wasn't surprised by this arrangement; he had long noticed Mr. Yang's favor towards this mute girl, and her personality also matched Mr. Yang's preference.
She resembles a fairy untainted by the world, pure and kind.
"Me? I'll have Guo Xiaozhi take me home, he's got nothing else to do anyway."
Yang Genshuo smirked; Guo Xiaozhi loves putting on airs, probably arranging a driver for himself too, so messing with him felt satisfying~
When Lin Yue found out, she waved her hands in refusal.
But Yang Genshuo pressed down on her shoulders, using sign language to convey:
"You are my person, I will arrange it for you, you and your mom need Wang Wu."
Lin Yue's eyes lifted, filled with joy, her heart as sweet as if drinking honey.
With this arrangement settled, the next day Yang Genshuo pulled Guo Xiaozhi along to go home for the New Year.
Guo Xiaozhi drove, complaining all along the way.
"Brother Shuo, going home without showing off, it's like ants crawling all over me!"
"I had a driver and bodyguard in suits and big sunglasses all prepared, and you leave me feeling awkward."
"Damn it! Every year, it's me driving you home, this life... it's the same every year!"
Guo Xiaozhi felt numb to this; when Yang Genshuo's car wasn't mortgaged to the bank, it was the two of them every year, going home for the New Year together, he driving, Yang Genshuo enjoying the scenery.
