Chapter 1175: I Will Wait for Her Another Eight Years

January 10th.

It has been five days since the release of Jianghu.

The overseas version was released three days ago.

Don’t ask why the overseas version came out so quickly. Tianyu had prepared, and with the cooperation of departments worldwide, the efficiency was naturally high.

The global success of Jianghu resulted in a continuous flow of cash into Xu Shaochen’s pocket.

Xu Shaochen sighed, thankful Xu Corporation had its own Xu International Bank; otherwise, he wouldn’t know where to safely store all that money.

The troubles of the rich come from having nothing better to worry about.

Due to Jianghu’s popularity, Xu Shaochen earned the nickname ‘Father of Virtual Gaming.’

Everyone who plays games, from Dragon Country or anywhere else, knows Xu Shaochen.

Currently, the Father of Virtual Gaming, admired by countless young people, was attending Tianyu’s annual meeting, also Jianghu’s victory celebration.

Numerous bigwigs and media outlets had arrived at the event.

The performers at the event were all of the caliber of song kings, dance kings, best actresses, and best actors.

The host was a vice president of Tianyu Game Company.

With Jianghu’s release, Tianyu’s previously unknown management now rose to become great tycoons.

“Now, let’s give a round of applause to welcome Chairman Xu on stage to say a few words.”

“Clap clap clap…”

As his words fell, thunderous applause erupted in the room.

Dressed in a suit, the outstanding Xu Someone smiled as he walked steadily to the stage.

Flashlights flickered like stars in the sky.

Undoubtedly, Xu Shaochen was tonight’s brightest star.

After taking the stage, Xu Shaochen raised his hand.

The previously noisy crowd instantly quieted, so silent only breaths could be heard.

“First, I deeply thank everyone for taking time from their busy schedules to attend Tianyu’s annual meeting.”

This was a complete compliment, given how many people were desperate to squeeze in.

“Tianyu hasn’t been around long, but its achievements are significant. This is due not only to advanced technology but also to Tianyu’s exceptionally outstanding management and staff. Today’s success wouldn’t be possible without everyone who has quietly devoted themselves to Tianyu, and I thank you for this.”

After speaking, Xu Shaochen bowed to the audience.

“Clap clap clap clap…”

Once again, thunderous applause filled the room, especially from Tianyu’s employees, who clapped enthusiastically.

“In the future, I hope all of Tianyu’s employees, including myself, can stay true, forge ahead, and create even better games to reward all who support us.”

“That’s it. Today is a happy day, so I won’t waste everyone’s time. Enjoy the food, drink, and fun.”

After speaking, Xu Shaochen handed the microphone to the host and walked down the stage amid a wave of applause.

“Not bad, did you memorize your speech?”

Mei Liangxin joked, winking as he approached Xu Shaochen.

“Nonsense,” Xu Shaochen immediately retorted, “When did I ever memorize a speech? I clearly practiced with a script.”

He took out a sheet of paper, full of writing, from his sleeve.

Mei Liangxin: “…”

“I wrote it for him. How’s that? Pretty good, right?” Tang Silin said smugly in a splendid outfit.

Apart from the host, Xu Shaochen was the only one to speak on stage at the annual meeting.

No one else was qualified.

Once he was on stage, others had no chance either.

This was his spotlight! “Silin, I have some matters and need to leave. Please keep an eye on things and notify me if there’s anything.”

After receiving a call, Xu Shaochen informed Tang Silin and left.

Half an hour later.

Xu Shaochen met Barron at the airport.

“Hi Xu, long time no see. You seem more mature. Did I interrupt something important?”

Barron hugged Xu Shaochen and then spoke apologetically.

Xu Shaochen was in formal attire.

He only wore it for important occasions because it felt uncomfortable and restricting.

“I’m done with work. Aren’t you going to introduce the little princess behind you?”

Xu Shaochen released Barron and pointed to a ten-year-old blonde girl with blue eyes.

“This is my granddaughter, Jennifer. Sweetheart, say hello.”

Barron patted the little girl’s head.

Jennifer looked up at Xu Shaochen with wide watery eyes and said in perfect Dragon Country language, “Hello, Uncle. I love Jianghu.”

“And do you not like Uncle?” Xu Shaochen smiled, taking a large stuffed toy from Long Er and handing it to her.

He bought it at a store he passed on his way.

Jennifer’s eyes lit up, “I like both. Thank you, Uncle.”

“Hey, Xu, you scoundrel. My granddaughter is only ten. Don’t you dare get ideas, or I’ll definitely beat you.”

Barron raised his fist and looked at Xu Shaochen warily.

Xu Shaochen showed a helpless expression, “Am I that perverted? How could I target a child? Relax, I’ll wait another eight years.”

“Oh, damn. I regret bringing my beloved little girl to Dragon Country.” Barron gritted his teeth.

“Hahaha, let’s go. The dining spot is set. You must be starving after a full day on the plane, Princess.”

Xu Shaochen walked to the roadside car while holding Jennifer.

“Hey, kid, let go of my granddaughter, or I’ll really fight you.”

Barron shouted while quickly following.

He suspected Xu Shaochen might just wait the eight years as promised.

Once in the car, Barron noticed Long Yi wasn’t there: “Xu, where’s your other bodyguard? I remember you always bringing both.”

“He had some things to handle.” Xu Shaochen answered while playing with Jennifer.

Barron shrugged, “Alright, I bet it’s not something good. Also, give me my granddaughter back. You aren’t raising her to get close.”

Xu Shaochen: “…”

Do I really seem like such a desperate pervert?

He swore he just found kids adorable.

Barron was right; what Long Yi went to do wasn’t good.

Barron came to Dragon Country, but Long Yi went to America.
