Gu Yunting found himself momentarily stunned by the young, smiling face before him. It seemed so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"Uncle, may I sit down?" Ye Tuantuan, as polite as ever, especially towards someone she liked.
"Have the secretary bring a glass of milk," Gu Yunting assumed all children drank milk.
"Thank you, Uncle. I came specially to give you a gift for helping me yesterday." Ye Tuantuan very solemnly took a card from her bag and placed it before Gu Yunting before sitting down.
Gu Yunting blinked.
He picked up the card and opened it. It was a thank-you card with two cartoon figures drawn inside, clearly representing him and the little girl before him. It also contained words of gratitude.
"Your name is Tuantuan?" Gu Yunting's gaze fell upon the girl's name.
"Yes, my name is Tuantuan. Is it nice?" Although Ye Tuantuan often complained about her mother's hasty naming, she herself liked the name her mother had given her.
So anyone who dared to mock her name would immediately face her wrath.
"It's very nice!" Gu Yunting replied earnestly. Tuantuan, did it mean reunion? What a good omen.
"Mm, I think it's very nice too. My mother gave it to me. Isn't she very talented?" Ye Tuantuan was unconditionally protective of her mother. No matter what Ye Wan was like, she felt her mother was the best.
"The name is good, but your mother doesn't seem like a talented person," Gu Yunting stated honestly.
Instead of getting angry, Ye Tuantuan slapped the table and burst into laughter. "Uncle, I've truly found a kindred spirit! If you admit my mom is talented, it just means you're being hypocritical."
Gu Yunting was speechless.
"Play for a while. I'll treat you to lunch. Do you want to report this to your mother, or should I call her?"
"No, no, thank you. My mom is busy with work and doesn't have time to watch me. Thank you, Uncle." Ye Tuantuan had achieved her goal and took out a small notebook from her bag to play with.
"You can already use a computer?" Gu Yunting looked at her notebook. It wasn't something from the market, but seemed custom-made for her, exceptionally small and cute.
"I've known how since I was little. I started learning programming at three, and I've already finished my university courses. Uncle, do you think you should consider recruiting a genius like me to work for your company?" Ye Tuantuan asked with great confidence.
Gu Yunting was taken aback.
"Is she that monstrous?"
"But child labor laws don't allow it," Gu Yunting said with a smile.
"Is that so? Then how about we cooperate and make money? That way, you won't be illegally employing a child."
"You've already set a trap for me, haven't you? You really are a clever little thing," Gu Yunting chuckled and shook his head. How could he not see that this child had already thought through every step of their negotiation?
Because he had let his guard down, he had fallen into a child's trap.
"Hehe, how could my little trick fool you, Uncle? Uncle, please give a little kid a chance to make money. Kids are really short on money." Ye Tuantuan began to use her cuteness to entice him.
"Alright, you come up with a proposal, and I'll invest. If we make money, we'll split it seventy-thirty, how about that?" Gu Yunting found this child truly interesting. He hadn't encountered such an interesting person or situation in a long time, so he wanted to play along and see how many more surprises she had in store for him.
"It's a deal!" Ye Tuantuan clapped her hands joyfully, her smile bright and radiant, captivating Gu Yunting.
