When Jiaojiao heard that Song Jia's family had returned to their hometown, she felt quite guilty and apologized to Jiang Ning.

At the dining table in the courtyard, everyone was gathered together for a meal when Jiaojiao spoke apologetically:

"Mom, I never expected things to turn out this way with Aunt Song. I wish I hadn't talked to Uncle Huo about the collaboration."

Aunt Song might be unhappy with my behavior, which is why she sent Uncle Huo to work at another company.

Jiang Ning glanced at her and gently shook her head.

Before she could say anything, Yang Lu spoke first:

"Jiaojiao, what did you do wrong? You were just conducting business normally, so why did that make people unhappy?"

I've noticed in the last two years that Song Jia's mentality has changed. She's gotten arrogant with money, and a rift has developed between us sisters. She's been looking down on us in every way..."

Yang Lu and Song Jia have known each other for a short time, which sometimes allows Yang Lu to see the essence of the problem more clearly.

It was only at this point that Jiang Ning admitted that Song Jia's problems were not recent.

She had never dared to admit it before, and even felt that she shouldn't be too harsh on others. Friendship is a matter of fate, and she shouldn't think there's something wrong with others just because their behavior is different from her own values.

However, after this incident, she finally realized that neither family nor friendship can be forced. Since they have drifted apart, they have drifted apart, and there is nothing to regret.

"Jiaojiao, do things your own way. If there are any problems you can't handle, I'll help you figure them out. But I think you're capable of handling this. Go ahead and do it with confidence," Jiang Ning comforted Jiaojiao.

Lin Chen sat down next to Jiao Jiao and ruffled her hair with his large hand.

"Your mom and I both support you."

Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom, thank you for your support. Come on, let me toast everyone."

As she spoke, she stood up and raised her glass to everyone.

Everyone laughed and raised their glasses with her. After finishing their drinks, the past was the past.

After the meal, the nanny started tidying up, while the others gathered around the sofa to continue drinking tea and chatting.

As usual, Wang Xiufen, Jiang Ning, Yang Lu, and Lin Qiao chatted about shopping, while Yu Qi, Lin Chen, Luo Guangming, and Gao Baoliang drank tea and played cards together.

The remaining children surrounded Tongtong and Jiaojiao, asking them to talk about business matters.

With the influence of their parents, uncles, and aunts, the children are quite interested in business.

Binbin once even set up a small stall at the school gate, which was full of toys that he had played with since he was a child but no longer wanted to play with.

He also took Tongtong and Jiaojiao's toys from when they were little, and sold them off as merchandise.

And you know what? I actually sold quite a few, and in the end I made several tens of yuan.

However, later, someone reported him, and the teacher talked to him and made him return all the money.

In the end, the money was returned, but the toy was not taken back.

Yang Lu frequently recounted her failed experience of setting up a stall.

Binbin, however, was very confident: "The result is not important, the key is the process. The fact that I was able to sell so many toys proves that I have the ability. Money is not important."

He gets several hundred yuan in pocket money every month, so he doesn't need that little bit more.

Although Tongtong is not very talkative, he is extremely kind to his younger siblings. He will answer any questions they ask without reservation.

Tongtong and Jiaojiao are new to the workforce and often communicate with each other.

With family support, they reached a consensus and decided to go all out and see how well they could succeed. Failure wasn't so bad; they could always start over.

Jiaojiao's clothing factory has already taken shape and is quite well-organized.

Tongtong's electronics factory has also officially started production.

Yang Xiu offered him advice and guidance, recognizing his potential.

"Maybe once your factory is up and running, our group will even acquire it!"

Yang Xiu is the technology director at the group headquarters, responsible for the company's technology-related work. Under him are a mobile phone factory and a computer factory, and the sales of their products rank among the top in the country.

These businesses alone bring in billions of yuan in revenue for the group each year.

Yang Xiu and Wu Jing did not attend this family gathering.

After all, they don't live in a courtyard house, and their relationship isn't that close.

But Yang Xiu often talks to Tongtong on the phone, and the two of them will talk about cutting-edge technology.

Wu Jing is the director of the TV station, and she specializes in economic programs, so she knows more about the latest economic developments abroad than the average person.

She would compile the latest information and send it to them via email.

Of course, Wu Jing also had her own reasons; she had invited Tongtong several times, hoping he would participate in the program.

That day, Yang Xiu invited Tongtong to a coffee shop, and Wu Jing also came.

"Aunt Jing, you're here too? Where are Yang Zhi and Yang Hui?"

At 7 p.m., she usually stays at home helping her two children with their homework.

She works at a TV station, and I don't know how many people try to curry favor with her and invite her to dinner, but she always refuses, saying she's going home to help her children with their homework.

Wu Jing hung her bag on the coat rack, moved her chair aside, sat down, and looked at him with a smile.

"Tongtong, Aunt Jing is currently working on a debate program about economic entities and needs to find mentors. You have a doctorate in this field and have participated in debate competitions before. I would like to ask you for help," Wu Jing said directly.

Tongtong hesitated for a moment: "Aunt Jing, it's not that I don't want to help, but firstly I have no experience as a mentor on TV programs, and I don't want to ruin your show. Also, I have been quite busy lately."

Wu Jing knew he was busy, but she still tried to persuade him:

"There's no doubt about your abilities. This program is groundbreaking, and nobody knows how it will turn out. Just do your best. The debaters are all students from top universities like Tsinghua and Huazhong. They are all very capable and also quite arrogant. Without your overseas study experience, you simply wouldn't be able to command the atmosphere."

When they see that you are so handsome and capable, they will listen to your guidance.

Also, regarding the issue of being too busy with work, I've thought about it for you. Can we try to use your evenings instead?

Our programs are all produced between 6 PM and midnight.

Furthermore, I secured an advertising sponsorship for your factory.

"When the show airs, viewers will see advertisements for your Huaguang Electronics on the debate stage."

In the end, it was this advertisement space that moved Tongtong.

He had thought about advertising before, but he couldn't figure out which method to use.

He felt that the subject of this debate was exactly the same as the products his factory produced.

"Okay, Aunt Jing, I promise you, could you send me the contestants' information and the debate topics so I can prepare in advance?" Tongtong asked her for the information very proactively.

He's always been like this; whatever he's going to do, he'll do his best to achieve it.
