Chapter 494 Ye Fan's Brief "Retirement" Life
An internal battle concerning the health and long-term survival of the platform's content ecosystem has begun.
Ye Fan knew that only by excelling on this invisible battlefield could Weiming truly grow wildly under the sun and realize its grand vision.
......
The storm will eventually pass.
As the giant ship of Weiming sailed into a smooth and open development channel, Ye Fan's pace of life also slowed down, presenting a leisurely lifestyle that outsiders would consider almost like "retirement".
His main base has moved to a duplex apartment in Jiangwan City overlooking the river.
On days when he had classes, he would lazily drive back to Nanjing University, make a brief appearance in class, and occasionally, at dusk, step into the quiet bamboo grove courtyard to share a simple yet heartwarming dinner with Xianzu Ling.
The aroma of food wafting from the courtyard and the slightly red ear tips of Xian Zuling as he bowed his head became a unique touch of warmth in his campus life.
Life in Jiangwan City is even more leisurely.
Chen Chulin is a regular here, but the tension of graduation season also shrouds her.
She often arrives in a hurry, carrying a thick stack of documents or design drawings, her clothes still smelling of ink from the library and the fatigue from working late into the night on the computer.
Sometimes he came to seek a quiet corner for writing, sometimes he simply wanted to lean on Ye Fan's shoulder for a brief moment of recharging peace before hurrying back to the battlefield of school.
Miao Zi treated this almost like another highly efficient office.
She was in a hurry, her phone was almost always in her hand, and her laptop seemed to be permanently attached to the coffee table.
On one hand, he has to deal with the increasingly complex affairs of likelihood capital (Ye Fan's core secretary duties).
On the other hand, we must also do our utmost to promote the establishment of the new subsidiary, "Mingdun Content Security Review Center," which was personally selected by Ye Fan!
From team building, technology selection, and review process design to liaison with regulatory authorities, every aspect is complex and multifaceted, making her feel like a rapidly spinning top.
She and Chen Chulin were like satellites orbiting in different orbits, their timing cleverly out of sync, and they never actually met.
Ye Fan himself was fully enjoying this rare peace.
In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of Jiangwan City, brew a pot of top-quality Pu'er tea and watch the boats come and go on the river; when the mood strikes, turn on the top-of-the-line game console and have a battle in the virtual world.
Or, on a lazy afternoon, you can relax by playing some "healthy" games with Chen Chulin or Miao Zi, who happen to be nearby.
As for Xu Yunshu, this hot flight attendant who knows how to please Ye Fan, she maintains her decisive and efficient style.
Whenever there was a break between flights or on a holiday, she could always "parachute" into Jinling with perfect precision. With just one phone call, she would "kidnap" Ye Fan from the leisurely life in Jiangwan City to the Jiangnan Jiuxu suite that Ye Fan had given her.
What are we going to do?
Naturally, it will be a thoroughly enjoyable and "easy-to-understand" exchange of physical fitness and skills.
Xu Yunshu was well-versed in this art and never concealed her enthusiasm and needs. Every time, she would ask Ye Fan to "teach her everything he knew." As a result, when she left, even though Ye Fan had an extraordinary physique, he couldn't help but show a hint of languor and weariness after indulging in his pleasure.
As for Chen Wanyu, the flight attendant who was the first to meet Ye Fan, Xu Yunshu was introduced to her by her. After a long period of hesitation and inner struggle, she finally made up her mind.
Unlike Xu Yunshu's clear-headed pragmatism (knowing that a worldly romance with Ye Fan is unlikely, it's better to seize the practical benefits that can be grasped), Chen Wanyu once harbored more fantasies about sweet love.
But Xu Yunshu's words woke her up: the golden age of being a flight attendant is fleeting, and once youth is gone, there is no more. Instead of looking back and forth, it is better to seize the present and grasp this opportunity to change her destiny.
Ye Fan acknowledged her "realization" and also allocated her a river-view mansion of over 200 square meters in Jiangnan Jiuxu.
Thus, these former best friends and current "comrades-in-arms" unexpectedly became neighbors in the same community.
In their free time, they can go shopping or get a spa treatment together, so they're not lonely at all.
When Chen Wanyu received the heavy key and stepped into her luxuriously decorated, spacious new home, her eyes were filled with surprise and emotion.
However, women always have a keen sense of smell.
Chen Wanyu had caught a faint scent of other women's perfume on Ye Fan more than once, or the fine strands of hair of different colors lingering on his collar.
Ye Fan was fully aware of this and never intended to hide it—they were both adults, tacitly understanding each other and each getting what they needed.
To his slight surprise, Chen Wanyu chose silence, opting for a kind of self-hypnotic "ignoring" her.
She devoted herself entirely to Ye Fan, enjoying the material abundance and physical pleasure he brought her. It seemed that as long as these two things were satisfied, everything else could be ignored.
Ye Fan saw this clearly.
He has a deep understanding of the delicate balance between human nature and relationships between men and women:
Women are easy to coax.
When a man firmly holds the initiative in a relationship, whether emotionally, materially, or physically, and provides the core value that the other woman desires most, she will unconsciously begin to find reasons for those obvious "flaws," no matter how clumsy the excuse.
Over time, they no longer needed excuses and eventually accepted the reality of having "a large group of sisters".
This is a compromise and self-justification based on the satisfaction of needs.
They're hard to coax, and they're hard to coax.
If the roles are reversed, with the woman taking absolute control or the man becoming a subservient provider or a sycophant, the relationship will inevitably quickly become unbalanced.
Human nature is to take advantage of others, and endless compliance will only make the other party take it for granted, and may even breed arrogance and contempt, ultimately distorting the relationship into a deformed and exhausting state.
Therefore, Ye Fan accurately grasped that subtle "degree" in every relationship.
Give them what they desire, maintain your core appeal and irreplaceability, and never lose the initiative.
He knew perfectly well that in the jungle of emotions, being a simp was a dead end and would lead to a gruesome death.
He chose to be the hunter who sets the rules and controls the pace, rather than the prey that wags its tail and begs for mercy.
In this delicately balanced "ordinariness" that he had personally created, Ye Fan was at ease.
......
At Jiangnan Jiuxu, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer a stunning view of the flowing river, while inside, a languid atmosphere lingers.
Ye Fan leaned against the large leather headboard, his strong arms loosely encircling the warm, soft woman in his arms.
Chen Wanyu, like a satisfied cat, pressed her cheek against his sweaty chest, her slender fingers unconsciously drawing small circles on his well-defined abs, a tingling, itchy sensation spreading through her.
