As he spoke, he hurriedly asked, "Hurry up and tell me how the both of you came back! How did you manage to come back within such a short time? Was the entire process very smooth?" Charlie smiled as he said, "It did not proceed very smoothly at first, but it became very smooth rather quickly. I happened to meet and befriend the commander of the opposition force, and the other party was also very easygoing. So, he let Autumn go."

Yolden hurriedly looked at Autumn, who was aside, before he asked her, "Autumn, did you suffer any grievances when you were there?"

Autumn adjusted her sitting posture before she replied awkwardly, "They locked us up in a cellar, and they did plan to kill us at first. But fortunately, Mr. Wade rescued us in time. Otherwise, we would have already been executed one after the other..."

Yolden was extremely grateful as he told Charlie," Charlie, I really owe you my life for bringing Autumn home safely. From now on, my life belongs to you! May I be punished and struck by lightning if I dared to hesitate at all if there was something that you wanted me to do for you in the future!" 4

Charlie hurriedly said, "Uncle Hart, that is not

necessary. I did not even have to put in much effort. Besides, it is only right for me to help you since you were my mother's good friend." 3

When Autumn heard these words, she exclaimed," Dad! Is Mr. Wade the son of the Aunt Acker you often spoke of?"

"Yes!" Yolden nodded as he said, "He is your Aunt Acker's only son, Charlie Wade!"

Autumn's eyes lit up in an instant as she said excitedly to Charlie, "Mr. Wade, I'll not hide the truth from you, but your mother is my biggest idol! I only decided to attend Stanford University after learning about her deeds. Not only that, but I also got to learn more about your mother's deeds at Stanford University, and my admiration for her is already way beyond words..." 3

Charlie could not help but feel a little surprised. He really would not have expected that Autumn would also know about his mother's affairs very well.

This made Charlie feel very ashamed and embarrassed deep in his heart.

He did not know much about his own mother, and he could not even be compared to an outsider. This was obviously because he had not done enough.

Otherwise, he should have already tried to figure out a way to understand his mother's lifetime.

At this time, Yolden looked at Autumn before he said sternly and seriously, "Autumn, I've already made

Charlie a promise. After he rescues you, you'll be the person in charge of managing Charlie's ocean shipping business. As for me, I'll be the consultant, and I'll try to provide both of you with all the help that I can behind the scenes. So, now that you've returned to the country safely this time, please do not run around anywhere else again. You should stay steadfast in Aurous Hill and work hard here. No matter what it is, the both of us, father and daughter, should work hard together to help Charlie set up and build up his business!"

Autumn nodded before she said without hesitation," Dad, you don't have to worry about that. I've already promised Mr. Wade earlier..."

As she spoke, she hurriedly said again, "I'm actually most worried about my own ability. What I've experienced in Syria this time has made me realize that I do have very great shortcomings in all aspects, especially when it comes to reading people. I was a little too optimistic. So, I'm worried that I might not be competent enough to get the job done..." 3

At this time, Charlie spoke up, "Miss Hart, you don't have to worry about this matter. We're doing serious and proper business. We'll be relying on financial resources, planning, resources, channels, and connections, and we will not be relying on mutual scheming or deception. So, you only need to run and operate the company, sort out the business, and understand the connection between the resources. Everything else will be a matter of course."

As he spoke, Charlie said again, "Look, whether it is Bill Gates from Microsoft, Larry Page from Google, or Elon Musk from Tesla, all of them came from a computer technology background, which is commonly referred to as code farmers. They might not be able to read people well or engage in mutual scheming or deception, but they truly understand technology, the market, and how they can use their technology to produce the products that would best meet the market's demands and needs. So, as long as they can do what they are specialized in best, they can succeed. It is also the same for you!"

"Mr. Wade, since you have already said so, I'll certainly do my best not to let you down!" 5

When Autumn heard this, her originally nervous and uncertain heart relaxed a lot.

However, even though she felt relieved in her heart, her body could not be relieved at all.

This was because as she was sitting on the sofa, she felt that her lingerie, which did not fit her, was making her upper body feel even tighter, and she felt a s though she could not catch her breath. Yolden could see that his daughter was acting a little strange, and he could not help but ask, "Autumn, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" 7
