After Catching The Rich And Old-Fashioned Daddy Chapter 63
byChapter 64 Missing after separation, my husband will tell you what you want to do
The young man’s eyes were thin and red. He closed his eyes and did not want to pay attention to the man or speak.
Who is that?
It was serious when it was confiscated, but it was not ambiguous at all when used.
And what about him?
Sitting next to him was a well-dressed, human-looking man, with not a single button of his shirt unbuttoned.
The more Li Chu thought about it, the angrier he became. He closed his eyes and poured water on his body. His voice was muffled: “Second uncle, please go out. I want to wash myself.”
Shao Tingyue knelt on one knee beside him, his shirt already soaked with water, sticking to his body to outline the lines of his shoulders and back.
Hearing this, not only did he not go out, but he took a step forward and reached for the towel in his hand.
“Are you angry with your husband?”
Li Chu ignored him and turned his head.
The man laughed softly and whispered something into his ear.
Still coming?
The child immediately raised his eyes and slapped his chin: “Shut up…”
Naturally moist peach blossom eyes don’t have much lethality, they just make people feel cute and lively.
Shao Tingyue looked at his appearance, and his soft heart sank a little more.
He was never willing to really punish him.
Those so-called “punishments”, copying family rules… in the final analysis, they were just excuses to tease him.
He feels distressed when a child loses even one hair, so how could it really make him feel uncomfortable?
He raised his hand and gently brushed away the wet hair from the young man’s forehead, “You don’t need to be restrained in front of me. I’ve seen everything BB looks like.”
It looks good no matter what it looks like.
When indulged, it is like a quiet and beautiful oil painting, which makes people marvel that cannot be described in words.Anger is like an angry kitten, showing its teeth and claws, but its eyes are full of dependence.
The child is a smart and talented student outside, but at home he is the little baby he cherishes in his heart and holds in his hands.
The more pampered and arrogant the better, the children he raises just want to be themselves.No need to look at anyone’s face.
The young man pursed his lips silently and refused to argue, because he had indeed tried even more embarrassing things.
After thinking about it, my anger subsided, and I reached out for him to hug me: “I won’t wash you anymore.”
…
The night before departure, Shao Tingyue almost stayed up all night, staring at the child in front of him.
The young man slept very well. He was so tired that he curled up like a little shrimp. His hands were loosely clenched into small fists and pressed against his chest.
His breathing was long and even, and he would frown occasionally, and then relax again. He didn’t know what he encountered in his dream.
In the dream…will I be there?
The moonlight filtered in through the gaps in the curtains and fell on his quiet face, turning the tiny fluff into faint stardust.
At dawn, he finally got up reluctantly, got dressed and stood by the bed for a long, long time.
Finally, he bent down and placed a kiss on the young man’s smooth forehead.
“My husband is not around, bb, please be good.”
The sleeping boy couldn’t hear it, but subconsciously buried his face deeper.
When Li Chu woke up, the seat next to him was already empty.
He turned over and reached for the familiar embrace, but when he opened his eyes, there was only half a pillow.
He was stunned for a few seconds, then slowly hugged the pillow and buried his face in it to smell the remaining breath on it.
It turns out that separation is such a disappointing and sad thing.
He didn’t want to move, so he buried his face in the pillow and stayed in a daze for a long time.
…
Jack’s writing aids are selling well.
In the early days, relying on word-of-mouth spread among university circles, it gradually gained thousands of users.But the good times did not last long, and pirated copies soon appeared on the market.Some people copy programs here and there, and some even resell disks at low prices.
“This can’t go on like this.”
Jack found Li Chu to express his bitterness, scratching his head back and forth, “Hey! We’ve worked hard for several months, and they’re done with just one copy!”
During this period, Li Chu participated in various exchange meetings and gradually gained some knowledge.He found that those really big software companies did not follow a pure software path.
They burned the core program into the hardware to make a plug-in card, which was inserted into the expansion slot of the IBM PC.The combination of software and hardware can prevent piracy and its performance is more stable than pure software.
And it’s a huge market.In the mid-1980s, personal computers began to enter companies.
But processing Chinese is still a problem.Sitong typewriters are expensive, with units costing tens of thousands.While Hanka costs several thousand yuan, it is much cheaper to type on a computer.
Li Chu remembered reading the information in his previous life.The giant Hanka, developed by a certain computer tycoon, was launched in 1989 and earned 35 million from an order fair in the early 1990s. The now popular document processing software also relied on Hanka in its early days.
Li Chu felt that this was an opportunity.
Moreover, others in California have access to the latest chips and technology, half a step earlier than in China.
Jack felt that Li Chu’s idea was very reasonable, and his sadness instantly disappeared, and he began to drag him around to technical forums and developer exchange meetings.
By chance, Li Chu met a Chinese-American named Zhou Zimo.
He is twenty-seven or eighty years old, but he is a hidden technical master.He had worked in hardware for a few years in a semiconductor company in New York and knew a lot about it.
The two chatted all afternoon, ranging from font storage to market prospects.Whether it is entrepreneurial ideas or the direction of the future, it is rare to have the same goals.
However, funding to start a company is a top priority, and Zhou Zimo only has a deposit of 200,000 US dollars.The company has invested huge amounts in early research and development, and Li Chu, who seems to be just an international student from a well-off family, may not be able to afford the money.
Zhou Zimo first thought of the same approach as Jack, first looking for investors to sponsor.If that doesn’t work, I’ll find a way to get a bank loan and start the company first.
But the loan also requires collateral. He has a small apartment, so he probably won’t be able to borrow much money.
Li Chu was also thinking seriously that he actually had money.
The business of several ice houses is getting better and better, and Wen Sitong receives dividends into his account every month.Shao Tingyue also saved the pocket money he gave him every month, and opened another account for him after the marriage. He didn’t see how much money was deposited in it, but he only knew that it was about eight figures in US dollars.
Shao Tingyue called this the bride price.According to the customs of Hong Kong Island, you actually have to prepare various gold utensils, wedding cakes, abalone seafood, roast suckling pig and so on.
But because Li Chu found it troublesome and he didn’t pursue a sense of ritual, he asked his second uncle to skip it.
Shao Tingyue didn’t say anything at that time, he just kissed him and said that he had his own arrangements.
When he got home in the evening, Li Chu excitedly told Shao Tingyue about the idea of starting a company.By the way, I also talked about market prospects, piracy issues, and the way to combine software and hardware.
Finally, he mentioned Zhou Zimo and said that he wanted to cooperate with him.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. There was no emotion in Shao Tingyue’s voice, “BB, do you want to start a company in partnership with someone else?”
“Yeah!” Li Chu hugged the pillow and nodded even though he couldn’t see the other side: “Second uncle, he really understands technology and hardware, and…”
“BB.” Shao Tingyue interrupted him, with a tone of disapproval, “If you want to be a husband, I will support you 100%, but you don’t need to cooperate with anyone. Shaw Brothers can provide you with funds as much as you want. The internal procurement needs of the group’s photonics companies are enough for you to get started.”
Li Chu didn’t expect Shao Tingyue to refuse, and frowned while grabbing the phone.
Sensing that the child might be unhappy, the man’s voice slowed down, with a hint of coaxing: “You don’t have to worry about the market, production costs, etc., let alone those messy things. My husband will tell you what you want to do, eh?”
Li Chu half lowered his eyes, sniffed, and sighed softly while burying himself on the pillow.
Of course he knew what Shao Tingyue said was true.
With Shaw behind him, he has nothing to worry about and stands on the shoulders of giants as a matter of course.
A broad road has been paved before him, and he can even predict his future life.No one wants to take shortcuts…but that’s not what he wants.
“Second uncle.” He pursed his lips and said, “I know you do it for my own good, but I don’t want to do this…”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then the man’s heavier breathing could be heard. The young man could already imagine his frown and jawline tightening.
“I want to try it on my own. I have the funds myself. Zhou Zimo is really very skilled. We have talked several times and he is very reliable…”
“Chu Zai.” Shao Tingyue hadn’t called him that for a long time, so Li Chu was stunned.
“Starting a business is not as simple as you think. How many partners have turned against each other because of profit distribution? bb, I don’t want you to work so hard. As long as you have money, what kind of top talents can’t be hired? What do you want to do? My husband will match you with the best team. You don’t need to look at anyone’s face.”
Shao Tingyue’s dark eyes bulged, and he snorted in his heart, “Who is that Zhou Zimo?”
What qualifications does an engineer who has been working in Silicon Valley for several years have to cooperate with Shao Tingyue’s people?
What qualifications do you have to be on an equal footing with “Mrs. Shao”?
To say the least, his original intention was to hope that Li Chu would do nothing.
Stay at home obediently and be pampered and protected by the stars.You can sleep until what time you want, eat what you want, cook in the kitchen, go shopping or see exhibitions when you are bored, or fly to travel around the world for vacation, everything you want is at your fingertips.
He can afford it anyway.
He does not need children to be “independent”, nor does he need him to “prove himself”.
As long as he is by your side, it’s enough.
Li Chu knew that it would be difficult to get Shao Tingyue to agree all of a sudden, so he didn’t argue with him on the phone.
However, the two never reached a consensus on this matter.
Li Chu’s appearance looked soft, and he usually nodded obediently to everything he said, but when it came to such a matter of principle, he had bigger ideas in his heart than anyone else.This can be seen when he insisted on staying in Los Angeles to complete his studies.This was not the first time that Shao Tingyue knew about his child’s character, but there was nothing he could do about him.
But at this time, there was a situation at the port in Europe, and he needed to go there in person.
This trip would take at least ten days and a half. Shao Ting was beyond reach and couldn’t immediately fly over and spank him.
After much thought, Shao Tingyue still dialed Cheng Du’s phone number, at least asking him to find out the details of Zhou Zimo first.
…
It was the end of the semester soon, and Li Chu was already busy with his studies, plus preparing for the company, so he was so busy that he didn’t get enough sleep every day.He even drank the coffee that Shao Tingyue had forbidden him to use to refresh himself. His notebook was full of schedules.
The aunt could only give him more soup water, for fear that he would get sick and have a fever like last time. After all, Mr. Shao’s expression was really scary that time.He was only kind, gentle and considerate to the young master.
Li Chu has white skin and big eyes.It would appear on the face after a short night’s sleep. There was a faint blackish blue under the eyelids and the face looked gloomy, which shocked my aunt.I thought to myself how angry I would be if Mr. Shao came over and saw me.
“Ouch, my dear, have you not slept for how many days? Why are the dark circles under your eyes so obvious?”
Li Chu rubbed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Auntie, you’re asleep.”
“Can you do this while sleeping?” The aunt was so distressed that she pulled him to sit down on the sofa. “I’m telling you, you can’t do this. Your body is the capital of the revolution. If it’s broken now, you won’t be able to make it up in the future.”
Li Chu listened obediently and nodded, “Auntie, just wait until I finish this period of time.”
“How old are you, my dear? You are in your early twenties, and you still have a lot of time to live.” Auntie babbled, and couldn’t help pinching his thin cheeks: “Besides, how distressed would Mr. Shao be if he knew about it? He specifically told me to take good care of you before he left. What should I tell him if you hurt yourself?”
Li Chu lowered his eyes with a guilty conscience. He deliberately took advantage of Shao Tingyue’s business trip in Europe and wanted to implement the preparation of the company as much as possible, so that even if his second uncle objected, he would not really take him back to Hong Kong Island.
He knows how much the other person loves him, and the most he can do is “teach him a lesson” in bed.His dreams and persistence will eventually be compromised.
“Auntie, I really know, don’t tell my second uncle…” The young man yawned slightly, his expression was particularly well-behaved.
The aunt sighed and patted his hand, “Good boy, listen to aunt’s advice. It’s time to rest and eat. There are endless things to do, and you only have one life.”
Li Chu looked at her worried face and felt warm in his heart. He nodded seriously, “Yes! Auntie, I’ll go to bed early today.”
The aunt was then satisfied and turned to the kitchen to prepare something delicious for him.
…
Zhou Zimo is an activist and has had the idea of starting a company for a long time.After attending the exchange meeting, he chatted with Li Chu for three hours about font structure, ROM selection, cost control and channel distribution.
“Then I’ll take you for a run next week.” Zhou Zimo’s eyes were blazing, and his tone was tirelessly excited, “First go to the chip supplier, and then find a few foundries that can do curing. I’m familiar with this part of Silicon Valley!”
In the following time, Li Chu thoroughly experienced what “Silicon Valley Speed” is.
Zhou Zimo took him to several chip distributors in San Jose and looked at various types of ROM chips.I went to an electronics factory that specializes in curing and watched workers wearing anti-static bracelets burning programs into chips.
Li Chu listened carefully and nodded while taking a small notebook to take notes.
Zhou Zimo drew a hand-drawn flow chart for Li Chu: “The current process is like this. After the code is written, it is made into a binary file and sent to the curing factory to make a mask ROM. If the quantity is small, use EPROM. If the quantity is large, just make a cheap mask directly!”
Finally, there was the issue of company registration and equity structure. They went to see a local Chinese lawyer in Los Angeles.The other party has been in Silicon Valley for more than 20 years and specializes in helping start-up companies handle these chores. He knows these things very well.
When opening a company in the United States in the 1980s, the process was not complicated. You first registered a C-corporation, then wrote the articles of association and determined the shareholding structure.
But Shao Tingyue hadn’t completely nodded yet. Li Chu didn’t dare to make any decisions, so he just took the documents and went home.
While talking on the phone at night, Li Chu was taking a bath in the bathroom.The hot water made him drowsy, and he forced himself to talk through his sleepiness.
“Daddy, husband… I really want to try it, please?”
After he finished speaking, it was quiet on the other side of the phone, except for the sound of deep breathing, like a trial before dawn.
“Second uncle?” Li Chu rubbed his eyes, his wet face feeling a little guilty.
The man’s voice paused and he said: “BB, go out and put on your clothes first. You have been soaking in the bath for a long time. Be careful of fainting.”
“Okay…” Li Chu responded softly, went to pull the towel to wipe his body, and then brought the topic back again, “Second uncle, you haven’t answered me yet.”
“Answer what?”
“That’s the contract…” Li Chu stepped out of the bathtub, and the sound of splashing water sounded, “Zhou Zimo has prepared everything, and the lawyer has also read the documents. Now I have to sign. You let me sign, okay?”
“Does it matter whether I agree or not?” Shao Tingyue’s voice over the phone was a little cold, “Haven’t you already made up your mind?”
Li Chu shrank his neck guiltily, wrapped himself in a bathrobe, pushed out the door, and threw himself on the big bed: “Isn’t that… you should respect your husband…”
“Respect?” Shao Tingyue repeated the word, his tone sounding like he was clenching his molars, “bb, if you really respected me, you wouldn’t tell your husband now. After studying abroad for a year or two, you learned to cut it off first and then tell it off, right?”
The driver would report Li Chu’s whereabouts every day, and he frowned when he heard it on the other side of the ocean.
I even think that it would be great if children could have babies.
He can take the person back to No. 12, Repulse Bay, and keep him right under his nose every day, unable to escape even if he wants to, even if he hates himself.
This thought flashed through his mind more than once. It was dark, paranoid, and so crazy that he knew it was wrong, but sometimes he just couldn’t suppress it.
When he met Zhong Yili that day, he couldn’t help but mention it.
Zhong Yili has been waiting peacefully to be a father recently, with tenderness on his brows. Hearing this, he raised his head and frowned and said, “Do you think your old habits are back again? Did you forget that Chu Tsai ran away for half a year? He has his own ideas and what he wants to do. It’s good that he has his own ideas and things he wants to do. Which kid from a wealthy family in Hong Kong is as sensible and obedient as him now? Alex, remember, cousin Zhi Qing, you know that playing photography is not your real job every day. If only he was half as sensible as Chu Tsai.”
Shao Ting’s face became tense as he listened and he said nothing.
Zhong Yili patted him on the shoulder, “That’s what old couples and young couples are like. You are twelve years apart, and many concepts and ideas are at different stages. Didn’t you say you were reading a parenting book last time? Rebellious children in adolescence should be encouraged more, and be careful of overdoing it. One day, the first child will run away again…”
How he got through those six months, only he himself knows, like a walking corpse that has lost its soul.Whenever he closes his eyes, he thinks of his little friend.
The more Shao Ting regained his thoughts, Li Chu was still calling him: “Husband, husband, husband…”
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
That’s all.
He had already asked Cheng Du to investigate Zhou Zimo. A person with no background, no foundation, and no power could not make any waves.
Even if he has some inappropriate thoughts, Shaw Brothers’ legal department is not just for free.It was just a contract, and Liang Wei and the others could see 800 loopholes.
“BB, please fax the equity agreement over. I’ll let Shaw Brothers’ legal department review it first to see if there are any unreasonable terms.”
Li Chu almost fell asleep, but when he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: “Second uncle! You…”
Is this a promise?
Shao Tingyue listed them one by one on the phone: “The most important thing about cooperation is the investment method, exit mechanism and ownership of intellectual property rights, as well as the confidentiality agreement. These must be written clearly.”
“Yeah!”
The man paused, and his wife’s tone was full of helplessness and compromise: “In which state the company is registered, and how to deal with taxes, these must be planned in advance. Don’t wait until problems arise later.”
Li Chu couldn’t help but rolled around on the bed. He was holding the phone and his mouth was so bent, “I know! My husband is the best husband in the world!”
Shao Tingyue rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the time, and coaxed in a low voice: “Good boy, go to bed early, my husband is here.”
…
Time came to mid-June, and according to the original plan, Li Chu returned to Hong Kong Island to reunite with Shao Tingyue after completing his credits.
However, there is a hardware show held in New York, and several chip factories will go there.Zhou Zimo invited him to see the latest ROM solution and get a feel for it.
Li Chu had no choice but to act recklessly again and put Shao Tingyue’s plane on the phone.
The shipping king’s face was very gloomy in those days, and everyone in the company kept silent for fear of something going wrong.
Fortunately, the trip to New York was not in vain. They met an engineer from Taiwan at the exhibition and chatted all afternoon. He had unique insights into the compression algorithm of the Chinese character library.Zhou Zimo made the decision on the spot to hire him as a technical consultant.
Two days after returning to Los Angeles, Zhou Zimo called: “There is a DEX peripheral exhibition in Las Vegas. Many distributors are there. Do you want to go and take a look?”
DEX is the world’s largest computer exhibition.Every November in Las Vegas, tens of thousands of people flock to see which way the wind is blowing.Although it is the peripheral exhibition in June, you should still be exposed to a lot of things.
The young man bit his lip and hesitated for two seconds: “Go.”
…
The date for Li Chu’s return to Hong Kong has been delayed again and again, and Shao Tingyue has gone crazy these past two months.
Since starting the company, the kid has been like a wild horse running wild all over the world. The driver and bodyguards will report from different positions every few days.
I stayed in Los Angeles for a few days and flew to New York. Two days after returning from New York, I went to Las Vegas.
For a whole one thousand four hundred and eighty-eight hours, he didn’t miss him for a day.
I miss the way he nestled in her arms, and how softly and coquettishly he behaved when he answered the phone.I miss his crooked smile, and I miss him obediently letting me kiss him.
This is a longing that ranges from physical to psychological, and is the instinctive desire of male animals for their partners.
I want to smell him, I want to touch him, I want to hold him in my arms, I want to hear him call me husband.
However, as Shao Tingyue looked at the newly sent itinerary, his sun trembled.
“Why did Chu Tsai go to Las Vegas?”
The bodyguard on the other end of the phone was cautious, fearing that the boss’s anger would overwhelm him: “There is a DEX peripheral exhibition, and Master Xiaochu said he wanted to see it…”
Shao Tingyue closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and boarded a plane to Las Vegas the next day.
…
When Li Chu came out of the exhibition, it was already dark.
He gained a lot today, and he stayed there tirelessly for most of the day.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Zimo in the hotel lobby.As soon as he returned to the door of the room, before he could react, he was pulled into a warm embrace.
The faint scent of cigars came, the smell he was most familiar with, “Second…Second uncle?”
“Yeah.”
“Why are you here?!” Li Chu was very surprised. He buried his face in the man’s chest, smelling the familiar and reassuring smell, and the tip of his nose was a little sore.
The man lowered his head and pressed a kiss on the boy’s furry head.
As soon as the door to the room was closed, Li Chu was carried into the entrance cabinet by him.
The indoor lights were not turned on, only the light coming from the floor-to-ceiling windows.The man hugged the boy and took a deep breath.
The clean and sweet smell flooded into the nose, like the land that had been dry for a long time finally waiting for rain.
The boy looked a little different from before.
Her facial features are still the same, her eyebrows are still the same, and the little mole on the tip of her nose is still cute.
The suit he wears is neatly cut and has a flat shoulder line, making his whole body upright and clean.
It’s not the kind of small dress he wore to banquets before, but a formal suit with a real professional sense. It wraps up the boyishness in him and condenses it into a clear and neat temperament.
However, he is still the soft boy inside.
Li Chu was kissed on the cheek by Shao Tingyue. This kiss brought all the thoughts and desires accumulated in two months, and the wrinkled heart was smoothed bit by bit.
The young man closed his eyes. He also missed his second uncle. He thought about it every day… and there were many things he wanted to share with him.
Shao Tingyue’s kiss moved away from his lips and landed on the fragile arc drawn by the boy’s head tilted up.
“BB.” The man’s voice was hoarse.
“Well…”
“Do you miss your husband?”
Li Chu hugged the man’s neck tightly and nodded vigorously: “I think so.”
The child’s words were a little nasal, a little aggrieved, and full of uncontrollable dependence.
“Be good.” Shao Tingyue bit his lip gently: “My husband misses you too.”
Li Chu didn’t leave the room for two days.
The heavy curtains were drawn tightly, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or night outside.
Zhou Zimo suddenly couldn’t find his company partner. They had agreed to continue watching the exhibition today.However, after making several calls and no one answered, he was a little worried.
He has always had a sense of boundaries. Even though he and Li Chu stayed in the same hotel, he didn’t know the other person’s room number.In order to protect customer privacy, the hotel front desk will not tell the truth.
After all, personal privacy is paramount here in the United States.
The phone rings again.
The young man was buried in the quilt and was unconscious. He closed his eyes and reached out to reach for it, but was picked up by a hand and pushed back into his arms.
Then the phone rang again, and he didn’t even want to move a finger, and of course he didn’t answer it.
Someone finally answered the phone the next evening. It was a deep, slightly hoarse male voice: “Hello.”
Zhou Zimo’s voice paused, and he heard that the person who answered the phone was not Li Chu, but a mature man.
“Uh…Hello, I’m looking for Li Chu.”
Shao Tingyue glanced at the boy in his arms, his eyes closed, sleeping like a pitiful piggy, and said in a calm voice: “He is resting, what’s the matter?”
There was silence for two seconds, as if digesting the information: “You are…”
“His husband.”
