"ZUFU."
The figure turned around. "Eh ... Qarl."
"What are you doing outside here alone?"
"Nothing. Just taking the night breeze. "
"It's cold."
"Ah, a little. After all, Zufu is wearing this thick shirt. Do you want to join me? "
Qarl's lips trailed off a smile. Steps are arranged to approach his grandfather and sit anchored next to Sir Yoong. "Why zufu haven't slept yet?"
"I don't know. These eyes can't sleep anymore. That's why zufu sitting outside here. How did you know that zufu was here? "
"I saw you from my balcony."
Mr. Yoong was nodding. "And you... why haven't you slept yet?"
"I'm doing a little work. Review a new proposal."
"New project?"
"Ermm, yaa. I can say so."
"Local or International?"
"Collaboration with a production house of Japan."
"Hmm ... sound interesting." Mr. Yoong seemed excited to hear. "So ... how is it?"
"Quite good so far."
"You're in, or not?"
"80 percent I'm in, probably."
"Then ... just do it, grandson. My support goes to you as always."
"Thanks, zufu."
"Zufu believes in you. Whatever you do, it always works. You never disappointed me all this while. Always make our family proud of each of your achievements. And you always bring Yoong Legacy to the highest level."
"All of that was due to the help and guidance of zufu and baba. Without both of you, I am nothing."
"You succeed because of your attitude, your hard work, your sincerity. Not because of me, nor baba. We just help and guide you a little bit. The rest, it's on your own efforts."
Qarl was silent. The compliments on Mr. Yoong's lips for him seemed unworthy for him to accept. He is still new to driving Yoong Legacy alone. There is still a lot he needs to learn and explore. The achievements that their company received now are all due to the guidance of his grandfather and father. Also, cooperation from all employees of the company. Want to expect him alone, is impossible.
"I hope you will continue your excellent performance in managing Yoong Legacy. Zufu is old. Unable to give 100 percent commitment to the company. Just for advice and views, that's enough. The rest... Zufu handed it over to Qarl, baba, and the others. Take good care of our family heritage."
"I will, zufu."
Sir Yoong smiled in relief at Qarl's answer. As his right hand patted the back of his eldest grandson.
"If Li Jie's granddaughter is there, she will definitely manage Yoong Legacy with you and Qayla."
"Zufu ...,"
"Li Jie will definitely be happy to see you all join hands for the company."
"Zufu ...,"
"Surely Yoong Legacy will be superior with the presence of all our children and grandchildren."
"Zufu ... enough." It was Qarl's turn to rub the back of his grandfather's body.
"Where might Li Mei be right now? What was her family's life like? Is it hard? Didn't she eat? Is there a place to live?"
"Qarl believes that wherever Zufu Jie's family is now, they must be fine."
"Do you think we could find them? Did I have much time to meet them all?"
"Zufu, please. Don't talk like that."
"Hmmhh. I don't know, Qarl. Every day, Zufu prays to meet my younger brother's heir. There are still a lot of trusts to them that haven't been fulfilled. But look ... until now our search has not been successful. Zufu was afraid won't be able to see all of them before closed my eyes."
"Zufu ...." Qarl quickly grabbed Mr. Yoong's hand. "Don't talk like that. Trust me, you'll meet them one day. Qarl will make sure of that. Zufu don't think much. Leave it all to us to find."
"Are you sure we're going to meet them?"
"Give us some more times. We will keep searching and get them to you."
Sir Yoong held his grandson's hand tightly. "Please, Qarl. Find Li Mei and her family for zufu."
"You own my promise."
"Find them no matter what, in any way."
No reply was uttered from Qarl's lips. Only the grip of his grandfather's hand was reciprocated with a meaningful reflection in the silence of the night.
