Fifteen years had passed. He had been sculpting her likeness based on his imagination, but upon seeing Youyou today, he realized that a girl changes significantly over time. Perhaps the way she looks now is nothing like he imagined.
He reached out his hand and repeatedly caressed the wooden sculpture in front of him. Even the one he had just finished carving had already been smoothed by his touch.
Waiting is particularly trying, especially when there is no end in sight.
He had told himself countless times to stay calm, believing she would eventually return. Yet every time he picked up the carving knife and had to rely on imagination to carve her image, he couldn’t suppress his longing inside.
He participated in international competitions, winning championship after championship, just so that no matter where she was in the world, she could see him on TV and the internet.
He wanted her to remember that there was someone in her life waiting for her to come back.
Despite doing so much, he still didn’t have any news of her, not even knowing if she was doing well!
If, a week later, the heir attending the Divine Doctor’s lab event wasn’t her, it would mean even Diwu Zexuan had given up. What else could he do to get news of her?
Even little Youyou knew he had won championships and broken world records. Did she not pay any attention to his news at all, not even thinking of coming back to say congratulations?
"Bang—"
Dan Tingye forcefully closed the safe, suppressing the loneliness in his eyes, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to gaze outside.
In the distance, a shroud of fog covered a world he couldn’t clearly see. Yet, her sweet face grew increasingly vivid in front of him.
-
One week later.
The Dan Group held a grand news conference, officially launching the new drug developed by the Divine Doctor’s laboratory and announcing the acquisition of a new project patent.
Countless media gathered in front of the Dan Group building, waiting for the legendary cold and high-profile male god, Dan Tingye, who had inherited the Dan Group at the age of five and became the new CEO while studying at GW!
"Here it comes, here it comes!"
Sharp-eyed reporters, upon seeing the black luxury car driving in their direction, immediately became frantic, desperately pushing forward with their cameras.
Although Dan Tingye’s inheritance of the Dan Group was a sure thing and not exactly news, he had always managed it from behind the scenes and had never accepted a media interview before.
The only snippets of news about him were from international competitions, yet this was far from satisfying the public’s curiosity about his mysterious life!
"Mr. Dan, just after officially announcing your takeover of the Dan Group, the company has made a grand move into a new field. Can you reveal any upcoming major plans you have in store?"
"It’s rumored that this time the Dan Group invested over a billion dollars just in the pharmaceutical production line. Was this your personal decision, or did Mr. Jie also support you from behind the scenes?"
"Mr. Dan, it’s said that you have won multiple international competition championships while still a student, yet you dislike interviews and are personally attending this press conference. Is there a special reason?"
"..."
Question after question was fired at him, yet Dan Tingye remained silent as he stepped out of the car, indifferent.
His tall and straight figure appeared somewhat slender under the black suit, with the collar button slightly open, revealing faint glimpses of chest muscles that made him appear less refined than his exterior suggested.
His enchanting face bore a striking resemblance to Dan Hanjie, who once astounded the entire Chinese Business World, yet he carried a darker, more cunning aura than Hanjie.
