Chapter 186: Chapter 142: The Peach is Ripe (Part 3)
At Gao Yuan’s words, Boss Huang fell silent.
He could accept this price, but he would make almost no profit.
If it were 10,000 units, he definitely couldn’t accept this price, but if Gao Yuan ordered 100,000 units, then it was a different story.
At that point, he could squeeze out some profit from other areas, and an order of this size would also help him keep his workers employed.
The 1,000 yuan price Gao Yuan quoted wasn’t just pulled out of thin air. He had also contacted some leather factories on 1688.com today, sent them the photos, and received quotes for a leather case of this size ranging from 500 to 2,000 yuan.
The price Gao Yuan offered wasn’t low, mainly because he demanded quality.
After settling on a general agreement, Gao Yuan promised to give them the design drafts tonight, and they had to provide him with a production schedule by 9 a.m. tomorrow.
After Sun Qiang saw Boss Huang and his companion out, Gao Yuan called Si Xue into his office to get an update on the company’s current finances, then drove home.
He was getting together with Wang Sichao tonight, so naturally, he wouldn’t be bringing Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing.
So Gao Yuan came home first to spend some time with them.
「No.1 Courtyard.」
Before Gao Yuan got home, Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing were sitting on the sofa, chatting.
At first, the two were discussing how to start a film and television business, but as they talked, their conversation drifted to Gao Yuan’s trip to Shanghai.
Lin Wanyu said outright that the girl named Wang Zhixian was definitely after Gao Yuan.
"Isn’t that perfectly normal?"
Li Mengqing wasn’t bothered by this at all. She knew that with Gao Yuan’s current status, it was perfectly normal for women to be attracted to him.
It would be abnormal if women *weren’t* throwing themselves at him.
That included Meiting, whom they met last night. She was, in all likelihood, also involved with Gao Yuan somehow.
For Li Mengqing, as long as Gao Yuan’s heart was with her, that was enough. It wasn’t like they could chain him to their side and watch him every second of the day.
Besides, that wasn’t the kind of life they wanted, and Gao Yuan would surely find it stifling.
Lin Wanyu nodded lightly. "It might be normal, but I can’t help but feel threatened."
"I get that feeling of insecurity, too."
"It’s just that I think there are two things that are most important for us right now."
Li Mengqing’s way of thinking was different from Lin Wanyu’s. She wasn’t so prone to anxiety and insecurity, and her plans for the future were much clearer than Lin Wanyu’s.
"What two things?"
Lin Wanyu couldn’t quite guess what two things Li Mengqing was talking about.
"First, we need to get our business off the ground as soon as possible."
Li Mengqing actually knew why Lin Wanyu felt so threatened after learning about the young woman in Shanghai.
Because that girl was young!
If it were an ordinary young woman, someone like Tongtong, Lin Wanyu would act magnanimously; she had enough confidence to handle her.
The reason she felt such animosity toward Wang Zhixian was mainly due to Wang Zhixian’s background.
Being related to Wang Sichao meant her family must be either rich or powerful. In that case, Lin Wanyu’s own advantages disappeared.
That’s why she proposed speeding up their business venture. If the two of them had their own careers, especially ones that complemented Gao Yuan’s, it would also help strengthen their relationship.
"Second, we need to hurry up and have a baby."
Lin Wanyu could understand Li Mengqing’s first point, but what did having a baby have to do with any of this?
"Why the rush to have kids? We’ve only been together a short while, and I haven’t had enough of our life together yet!"
Lin Wanyu didn’t want to have a child so soon; she wanted to enjoy their current lifestyle for a while longer.
"Big Sis, you’re already 28!"
Li Mengqing pointedly brought up Lin Wanyu’s age.
"Who are you calling ’Big Sis’?!"
"What’s wrong with 28? Am I that old?"
Li Mengqing shook her head, speechless. Lin Wanyu was great in every way, except sometimes she was just too naive.
Since ancient times, a woman’s status has depended on her children, especially in wealthy and powerful families. This has remained true even to this day.
Besides, 28 really isn’t that young anymore. If she has a child sooner, her body will recover better, too.
Look at it from another angle: Gao Yuan’s mother had already approved of them. Having a child soon would not only please his family, but it would also help Gao Yuan settle down.
Men’s mindsets are strange sometimes. They think one way when they’re single, and that changes a lot after they get married. But once they have a child, their entire way of thinking transforms.
These are the three stages of a man’s life, the thresholds that push him toward maturity.
After listening to Li Mengqing’s detailed explanation, Lin Wanyu fell silent.
According to Li Mengqing’s logic, it really was time for her to have a child. Just yesterday at noon, after she went home, Lin Hongnian had also brought this up with her.
According to Lin Hongnian, Gao Yuan’s rise was only a matter of time.
Judging by Yuanfang Company’s current trajectory, it wouldn’t be very long at all. That’s why he had also reminded Lin Wanyu to have a child soon.
’If two people are together, choose not to marry, and don’t have a child, what is there to guarantee their future?’
’Could passion alone sustain it?’
As an experienced man, Lin Hongnian understood very well that passion could only maintain a sense of novelty for a while. Once you’ve slept together too many times and become too familiar, desire fades.
He couldn’t say these things to his daughter, so all he could do was urge her to have a child soon.
Lin Wanyu pondered for a long time, then looked up at Li Mengqing and said, "Is that what you think, too?"
Li Mengqing nodded and recounted the time she and Gao Yuan had talked about having children.
And just like that,
Lin Wanyu made up her mind completely. She was going to have a baby, too!
However, Lin Wanyu’s reasoning was rather peculiar: she just didn’t want to be left behind.
Even though Li Mengqing was her best friend, since they were both in love with the same man, she subconsciously couldn’t help but compare herself to her.
Even when it came to having a child, she didn’t want to fall behind.
Then, the two of them launched into a discussion about having children, constantly searching online for things to pay attention to, especially how to have a baby boy.
「No.1 Courtyard, Underground Garage.」
Gao Yuan parked his car and saw that Xiao Xiao’s parking space next to his was empty. He guessed she must have gone to Shanghai.
When he got home, he had just stepped inside and hadn’t even had a chance to change when Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing pulled him onto the sofa.
"Darling, I want to have a baby!"
