Chapter 52 Going into Business

In his previous life, Jiang Xi was a university professor with social status and connections. Even though he remained unmarried his entire life, he was highly sought after because of his achievements in his professional field.

In this life, it would be easy for her to go straight to the path of her previous life, since she was reborn with the vision of the next few decades, and could easily achieve what she had accomplished in her previous life.

She just wants to live a different way now.

How many times can one relive their life?

She is much luckier than most people; she received help in her past life and was given a second chance.

Jiang Xi held Tian Tian's hand and sat in the airport waiting room.

Nowadays, not many people can afford to fly, and airports are far less magnificent than they are in later years.

Nowadays, the emergence of individual businesses has impacted many state-owned enterprises, and the wave of layoffs is expected in the next few years. At that time, there will be even more people starting their own businesses.

Jiang Xi already had an idea in mind.

"Sweetie, after we get there and everything is settled, Mommy will take you to kindergarten, okay?"

Jiang Xi looked at her daughter, who looked exactly like she did in her previous life, especially when the daughter looked at her and nodded obediently. Her heart was almost melted by the cuteness.

It was Tian Tian's first time on an airplane, and she found it all very novel. Jiang Xi simply looked at her and gently explained why airplanes take off and what the underlying principles are.

As for his family members, Jiang Xi has not contacted them.

Jiang Chaoying is still alive, and his beloved daughter Jiang Yuzhu is also doing well. She has secured a university place and gained university student status. It is said that she is dating someone she met in university, and they have already set a wedding date. They will get married after graduation.

In my memory, during holidays, they would sit in the living room chatting, while she was the only one busy cooking in the kitchen. Tian Bin would try to please them, but she couldn't get a word in edgewise, and when they came back, he would scold her for being useless.

Jiang Xi could confront them head-on like he did in his previous life, and he could even take action directly, but the situation is different now.

Besides Jiang Yaozu, who is still studying, Jiang Guangzong and Jiang Sisi have gotten married and have children. With more people involved, there will be more complications, and it will be very troublesome if she makes a fuss with her daughter.

Sweetie is now her Achilles' heel.

After all, several years have passed, and those people's feelings must have deepened considerably.

Jiang Yuzhu's ex-husband has some influence in the local area, and it's uncertain whether her current husband's family will protect her.

The accounts definitely need to be settled.

Compared to before, those people owe her even more in this lifetime, and she has to get it back tenfold.

Before leaving, Jiang Xi wrote several letters of complaint and sent them to the relevant authorities.

With more and more people starting businesses, private enterprises still have an impact on state-owned enterprises.

Writing a few more complaint letters might even get them fired early, which would be good.

Jiang Yuzhu's university was not the one she applied to in her previous life. Thinking of Yu Baozhen, Jiang Xi sighed.

She and Yu Baozhen both knew who the other was, but neither of them brought it up openly. She never mentioned those so-called family members to Yu Baozhen. From beginning to end, they were just two good friends who looked very alike.

Even if she could do it all over again, Jiang Xi would not be willing to say it. After all, Yu Baozhen's parents treated her very well, so what would she do if she went back to that family?

In this lifetime, Jiang Yuzhu will probably never meet Yu Baozhen, since they didn't attend the same university.

She also didn't want the Jiang family to know about Yu Baozhen's existence.

The report was also sent to the school. It is true that Jiang Yuzhu impersonated someone else, and it has only been a few years. She is still a student, so it is not impossible for the school to investigate.

As for the matter of Jiang Chaoying switching the children, Jiang Xi was determined to muddy the waters once again.

After getting off the plane with her daughter, Jiang Xi looked at the bustling city without much emotion, after all, she had more experience than others.

She rented a house and moved in with her daughter.

Compared to other cities, this is the most prosperous area, and the country is also vigorously developing it. It's no exaggeration to say that you've come here to find gold.

Jiang Xi did not rush into action, but patiently observed the area for a few days to gain a better understanding.

Sweetie looked at the things in front of her with curiosity. Her mother had bought her a lot of toys these past few days, all of which were toys she had never seen before.

"Sweetie, do you want to go to kindergarten?" Jiang Xi asked her daughter.

Tian Tian is already over three years old, the age to go to kindergarten, but Tian Bin says that going to kindergarten is a waste of money and that she can go directly to primary school.

She didn't dare to argue with her family. They told her that she should put her husband first and listen to him from now on. Tian Bin told her to keep her daughter at home, so she did.

But all the other children her age go to kindergarten, while Tian Tian is still at home.

Watching the children being led to kindergarten by their parents, Tian Tian didn't quite understand, but she was quite envious.

Jiang Xi looked at her daughter with a face full of heartache.

The more experience she gained, the more she felt sorry for her former self.

She never denied her former self, who was unloved by her parents and whose siblings always acted according to the adults' wishes. Over time, she got used to it, which was unfortunate in itself.

Because no one favors them, even if they want to rebel, all they get in return is a slap from their family.

Even resistance would only earn them their merciless accusations, with them asking, "Are you crazy?"

She was used to obeying others, so she dared not resist anything.

A high school diploma isn't low these days, but she lacked the ability and skills to support herself. She could only rely on her family, obey their arrangements to marry, and depend on her husband.

She dared not say that her husband treated her badly; others would only criticize her for being incompetent and unable to hold onto men's hearts, which was why they were seduced by other women.

But is that really the case?

They clearly just don't care about themselves.

Moreover, she herself had no ability to resist, which is why she ended up like this.

Her longing for her family was so strong that they didn't even need to ask; she would rush over to help. If she did well, it was her duty; if she didn't, it was because she was acting on her own initiative and would mess everything up.

Jiang Xi did not want to recall the past.

What she needs to do now is love her daughter and love herself.

After thinking about it for a while, Tian Tian realized that a three-year-old child, influenced by his family of origin, is already the most sensible child among his peers.

"Mom, going to school costs money. Do we have enough?"

"Mom will earn money. Mom will have money to send Tian Tian to school. In the future, Mom will earn lots and lots of money so that Tian Tian can buy whatever she likes."

Sweetie kissed her cheek. "Thank you, Mom. Sweetie will study hard and work with you to earn money in the future, so you won't be too tired."

Jiang Xi hugged his daughter and kissed her forehead.

She looked for several kindergartens near her home. Now, with the one-child policy, each family can only have one child, and even in a bustling city like this, the checks are quite strict.

With only one child, the family naturally dotes on them, and even the facilities at the kindergarten have been significantly improved.

Jiang Xi took Tian Tian to visit every kindergarten she could find, and finally chose one with a foreign teacher. The little girl, who wasn't very old, had already started learning a foreign language.

For Jiang Xi now, foreign languages ​​are not difficult at all; she knows more than one foreign language.

Life is so long, and she has learned a lot.

Nobody here knows her. She only has a high school education, but her fluency in foreign languages ​​will be her stepping stone.

I registered Tian Tian for a semester and paid her tuition.

The kindergarten was privately run, and the tuition was not cheap. Jiang Xi didn't even frown when he paid the money.

After paying the money, I received my schoolbag, clothes, and a small blanket to sleep under.

Jiang Xi bought several more outfits for Tian Tian, ​​and she also bought quite a few for herself.

The clothes here are fashionable and beautiful, and many people come here to buy them and then take them back to resell.

Jiang Xi has a forward-thinking eye; she picked out several outfits to put together herself, and even the clothes she put together for her daughter were very stylish.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and with this makeover, Jiang Xi, who was originally a bit haggard, instantly looked much more energetic.

She was only in her early twenties, but because of all the hard work she had done over the years, she looked like she was in her thirties, and she had a very bitter and resentful look about her.

But these past two days she's been in a good mood and hasn't neglected herself, so she looks radiant.

Tian Tian joined the school halfway through her studies, and Jiang Xi also told the teacher about this.

"Don't worry, Sweetie's mom, we'll keep a close eye on Sweetie's situation."

Jiang Xi nodded, watched her daughter enter the kindergarten, and then turned and left.

She calculated the money she had and realized that if she continued to spend it like this, she probably wouldn't last long, but she couldn't just find any job because she was in a hurry.

While his daughter went to school, Jiang Xi would wander around the market and write down what he saw.

Her opportunity came soon.

In the market, a foreigner wanted to buy something. He seemed to have come alone and really liked the item, asking the stall owner about the price.

However, the stall owner didn't speak any foreign languages ​​and only roughly guessed that the foreigner wanted to buy something. After some gesturing, neither of them understood what the other meant.

"Do you need any help?" Jiang Xi asked as he walked over.

The boss glanced at Jiang Xi, then looked at the foreigner and tentatively asked, "Do you speak a foreign language?"

Jiang Xi nodded and began to talk to the foreigner.

The foreigner was pleased to see that Jiang Xi could speak a foreign language.

He was supposed to have a translator, but the translator wasn't there today. He wanted to go for a walk, and unexpectedly, he saw something he liked. However, after talking to it for a long time, they still couldn't understand each other.

He only knows two phrases in Chinese: "hello" and "thank you".

With Jiang Xi's translation, he was able to successfully purchase the items.

The boss also looked at Jiang Xi and said, "Thank you so much."

"fine."

Jiang Xi then spoke with the foreigner, offering to act as his translator temporarily.

The other party did not refuse, after all, Jiang Xi had indeed helped him earlier.

They also asked Jiang Xi where he worked.

"I just arrived here and haven't found a job yet," Jiang Xi said honestly.

The foreigner, Anthony, gave Jiang Xi a serious look, but didn't ask any further questions.

It wasn't until almost time for Tian Tian to get out of school that Jiang Xi suggested going back.

Sweetie took the initiative to tell her about what happened at kindergarten.

Seeing his daughter happy, Jiang Xi was relieved.

By interacting with that foreigner, she actually learned some things she wanted to know.

Although she has learned a lot from her experience, there are still some things that she has never encountered before and are unfamiliar to her.

Jiang Xi was not afraid to make contact, but he also knew that he needed to plan his actions.

She continued to go to the market, and after a few days, she had a good idea of ​​what sold best and what was most popular.

Not to mention the boss she helped that day, who actually told her quite a lot.

"Jiang Xi, it's great that you speak English. There are many foreigners here."

It's okay to have a lower level of education; being able to communicate with foreigners is already quite impressive.

Jiang Xi also agreed that academic qualifications can be improved, but once the opportunity is lost, it is truly gone.

However, times are progressing, and people's cultural level will continue to rise. Jiang Xi is not in a hurry to improve his own cultural level, but it is in his plans.

She already graduated from high school, and now she's pursuing a bachelor's degree through self-study. If she wants, continuing her studies wouldn't be a problem.

But now it's not a question of whether or not to study.

After observing the market for a few days, Jiang Xi had a clear idea of ​​what was going on, so he approached someone he had been keeping an eye on for a long time.

The other party was the owner of an appliance factory. Things are different now than before; radios are no longer a rarity, but televisions are.

However, Walkmans have been selling very well lately, especially among young people walking down the street wearing jeans, with their hair parted in the middle, and carrying a Walkman.

It was playing English songs.

That's called a trend.

Since everyone is selling the same things, seizing the initiative is the real key, so the competition is fierce.

She looks quite young, but that's not what Jiang Xi is interested in.

The other party's surname is Xu; see Xu Yan.

When Jiang Xi found him, for a moment he thought Jiang Xi had come for him.

After all, ever since he went into business, his extended family members have been introducing him to potential partners, and many girls have even confessed their feelings for him.

But Xu Yan was focused on his business and had no intention of starting a family.

But after a few words, Xu Yan became serious.

He could tell that the other party was genuinely there to discuss business, and her eloquence made him almost think she was the daughter of a wealthy man, as she spoke with great confidence and knowledge.

Jiang Xi didn't tell him everything, but only offered some suggestions. If this person didn't agree, she could find someone else. But if she told him, it would be a different story. If he wanted to go it alone and kicked her out, that would be a lot of trouble.
