Chapter: 2745
“Tell me quickly, how did you come back? Why did it happen so fast? Was everything okay?” Charlie Wade asked eagerly.
Charlie smiled and replied, “At first, it didn’t go well, but then it got easier. I met the opposing commander over there and we became friends. He was pleased, so I decided to let Zhiqiu go.”
He Yuanjiang turned to He Zhiqiu and asked, “Zhiqiu, did you face any trouble over there?”
He Zhiqiu shifted in his seat and said shyly, “They locked us in a cellar and really wanted to kill us. Thankfully, Mr. Ye came to rescue us just in time; otherwise, we might have been executed one by one.”
He Yuanjiang looked at Charlie Wade with gratitude, saying, “Charlie, bringing Zhiqiu back safely means everything to me. I owe you my life! Anything you need, just ask. If I hesitate for even a moment, may thunder strike me!”
Charlie quickly replied, “That’s not necessary, Uncle He. I only did what any friend would do, especially since you’re my mother’s good friend!”
He Zhiqiu exclaimed, “Dad! Isn’t Mr. Ye the son of Aunt Ann that you always talk about?”
“Yes!” He Yuanjiang nodded. “He is the son of Aunt Ann, Charlie Wade!”
With excitement in his eyes, He Zhiqiu said to Charlie, “Mr. Ye, your mother is my biggest idol! I chose to go to Stanford after learning about her. At Stanford, I discovered even more about her, and my admiration for her grew beyond words.”
Charlie was surprised to hear that He Zhiqiu knew so much about his mother.
Charlie Wade felt a wave of shame and embarrassment wash over him as he thought about his mother’s affairs. He realized he didn’t know much about her life, even less than an outsider would. This made him feel like he hadn’t done enough to understand her better.
At that moment, He Yuanjiang turned to his daughter, He Zhiqiu, and spoke seriously. “Zhiqiu, I promised Charlie Wade that once he rescues you, you will take charge of his ocean shipping business. I will be a consultant and help you in any way I can. When you return home safely, you need to focus on your work in Jinling. We need to work together to support Charlie Wade and make this business a success!”
He Zhiqiu nodded and replied confidently, “Dad, don’t worry. I’ve already promised Mr. Ye…”
Then she added, “But I’m really worried about my skills. My experience in Syria showed me that I have many weaknesses, especially when it comes to judging people. I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle the job well…”
Charlie Wade reassured her, “Miss He, there’s no need to worry. We’re running a serious business here. Our success depends on finances, planning, resources, and connections, not on tricks or schemes. If you manage the company well and understand how everything connects, the rest will fall into place.”
He then continued, “Consider successful people like Bill Gates from Microsoft, Larry Page from Google, or Elon Musk from Tesla. They all have backgrounds in technology. They may not be experts at judging character, but they excel in their fields.”
People may not always know how to deceive, but they really understand technology and the market. They know how to use their skills to create products that meet what customers want. As long as they focus on what they do best, they can achieve success. You can do this too!
“Mr. Ye, if you believe in me, I will do my best to make you proud!”
When He Zhiqiu heard this, she felt a wave of relief wash over her. Her nervousness faded a little. But even though she felt better inside, her body was still tense. She was sitting on the sofa, and her uncomfortable underwear was making it hard for her to breathe.
He Yuanjiang noticed that his daughter seemed uneasy. “Zhiqiu, are you okay? Do you feel unwell?” he asked, concerned.
