Ross knew that Jiang Ning wouldn't easily agree to such a large project, so he said:

"I will give you a detailed report on this. Currently, domestic demand and production capacity in China are not proportional, which is the time to import in large quantities. We should not miss this opportunity."

Jiang Ning chuckled: "Alright, I'll be waiting to see your report. I hope we can reach a cooperation agreement."

After discussing business, the group chatted about everyday matters.

Jiang Ning even asked Ross when he would marry Wang Meizhu.

Ross held Wang Meizhu's hand and gazed deeply into her eyes.

“Meizhu, I also hope you can make a decision soon. I have already told my parents about us and sent them photos. They are very happy with you.”

Wang Meizhu patted his hand, somewhat helplessly.

"The company's import business is just starting out, and I still have a lot of work to do, so let's postpone the wedding."

Jiang Ning was surprised to learn that Wang Meizhu had this reason for not getting married, and quickly tried to comfort her.

"After we get married, I'll give you a honeymoon. If you want to come back to work, you're welcome anytime. If you don't want to work anymore, that's fine too. I'll take care of things at the company."

After Jiang Ning started the import business, she always entrusted it to Wang Meizhu to manage.

It's quite surprising that she managed to improve her English from the initial 26 letters to the point where she could communicate with foreigners in daily life within just two years.

Of course, Ross's relationship with her played a significant role, allowing her to practice her spoken English for free.

However, her self-learning ability enabled her to handle all import business from scratch.

Currently, the company's import business mainly involves small household appliances and hardware, and the profits are quite good. There are also more than a dozen companies in which we are currently in talks for cooperation.

As for who will take over her job, she has already thought it through. Ji Tingting is about to graduate, so she can come back and help her.

She will soon receive her economics degree, is fluent in English, and has a good relationship with Yang Lu's brother, Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu originally worked in scientific research at Apple, but now he has started his own company that produces computers.

Ji Tingting interned at his company for a year.

With her current abilities, taking over Wang Meizhu's work shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, she didn't want Wang Meizhu to leave; as the business grows bigger and bigger, talent is indispensable.

Wang Meizhu felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing these words, and gave Jiang Ning a grateful smile, "Sister Ningning, thank you."

Before I knew it, I had been with the company for four years.

She went from being a clueless receptionist to becoming the company's vice president.

If it weren't for Jiang Ning's constant encouragement and trust, she wouldn't have been able to reach this level.

She went from being an orphan disliked by her relatives to a successful person in their eyes.

She no longer has to worry about having nowhere to live or not having enough to eat. She has now bought her own house and has hundreds of thousands of yuan in savings.

Not long ago, the relatives who had previously looked down on her invited her home for dinner.

She remembered Jiang Ning telling her that she shouldn't complain about others looking down on her, but should strive to change herself and become someone they can't afford to be near.

You'll find that when you succeed, you're surrounded by good people.

In the past year, foreign trade companies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. There have been many people offering her high salaries to try and expand her business, but she has declined them all.

Jiang Ning had been kind to her, and she would never go and help other companies.

Even with Ross's marriage proposal, she felt the timing wasn't right. She was waiting for Ji Tingting to return to China and take over her business so it would get on track before considering leaving.

After lunch, Jiang Ning returned to his office and began browsing through economic newspapers and magazines for news about automobiles.

This was her habit; in the days before the internet, she got her information from newspapers.

She happened to see news about Hong Kong businessman Moses Chan.

The front page headline introduced Moses Chan's current business in Hong Kong, and included his photo.

There was another person standing next to him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his face looked somewhat weathered.

Without thinking much about it, she had just put the newspaper down when she received a phone call.

The person on the other end of the phone claimed to be Chen Hao's secretary and wanted to invite her to dinner.

Her mind went blank for a moment. Apart from the demolition issue, she couldn't think of any personal relationship with Chen Hao. Why would he ask her to have dinner together?

She politely declined.

Two weeks later, through careful preparation of materials and excellent argumentation skills, Wu Hao won the demolition case for Jiang Ning.

Xu Jie was furious. Not only did he fail to get the house back, he also lost tens of yuan in court fees.

His wife, Lucy, comforted him.

"Well, if we hadn't moved out of that house, we wouldn't have bought this one. It's a blessing in disguise."

Xu Jie looked at his gentle and kind wife and gave a slight smile.

"Alright, since it's already like this, I guess I'll just have to accept it. I'm going to work now."

During those three years, he was forced to accept many things.

Xue Mei set the fire and left, leaving him with no choice but to rent a place to live with his parents.

When Lucy was released from prison, he had to accept the fact that she was still his wife.

Fortunately, he had the 10,000 yuan he had swindled from Xue Mei, and with Lucy's encouragement, he bought a house.

Because of her criminal record, Lucy became gentler and more considerate towards him, and even gave him her father's job.

He is now a man with a family and a job.

However, he felt no joy.

Every day, I mechanically go to work and come home, like a walking corpse.

He now realized that the reason he had lied to Xue Mei and imprisoned her at home was because he loved her too much.

But he didn't have the courage to go to her.

Life can be just as maddening for Li Jiabao.

He saw that Jiang Ning had been on TV and in the newspaper because she received eight million yuan in compensation for her demolished house. He was so angry that he tore the newspaper to shreds and threw it on the ground.

Not only did Jiang Ning reap substantial profits, but Meng Jiao, following Jiang Ning's advice, also purchased more than a dozen apartments in the Jixiang residential complex.

They received over 400,000 yuan in compensation for the demolition.

Her story caused a sensation at the publishing house.

Everyone thought that she, as the editor-in-chief, must have become rich overnight and was going to resign and retire.

She just smiled faintly.

"This is nothing. Compared to Jiang Ning and the others, it's really insignificant."

Not to mention comparing her to Jiang Ning, she is far inferior to Lin Qiao and Yang Lu.

However, she was already very content.

This money is enough for her to support her parents in their old age, and also enough for her to live a relatively affluent life.

That day, she bought a cake and brought it to the courtyard house as a gift to thank Jiang Ning.

So many years have passed, and now when she sees Gao Baoliang, she feels completely indifferent.

When Binbin sees Meng Jiao, he will call her "Auntie Jiao Jiao" in a childish voice.

On a summer evening, everyone sat around under the locust tree in the courtyard, sharing cake.

They chatted about interesting things about work and life, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

This is probably the best version of life.

With a comfortable life, healthy elderly and children, and friends all around her, Jiang Ning couldn't help but take Lin Chen's hand and reveal a happy smile.
