Zhao Di is not young anymore. At 28, she would still be in her prime in later generations, but now she is a complete old maid. However, she is not in a hurry at all, and she doesn't even care whether she gets married or not.

Her career was soaring. Even if she didn't stay at the machinery factory, she could find other good jobs and wouldn't have to worry about making money. But Ye Qingqing had told her not to leave the machinery factory. She had said that three years ago. At that time, the machinery factory was not doing well, and she had the idea of ​​quitting. She went to a foreign company for a job interview and succeeded. The salary and benefits were good.

But Zhao Di was still unsure. The day before she submitted her resignation, she went to discuss it with Ye Qingqing. Although the girl was younger than her, she knew more. Her parents were unreliable and could not help her with anything except asking for money.

Ye Qingqing had told her to stay calm and not to act impulsively, saying that the difficulties at the machinery factory were only temporary. Zhao Di didn't really believe it; the machinery factory was almost unable to pay wages and would eventually go bankrupt. But she had blind trust in Ye Qingqing, so in the end she gritted her teeth and stayed without submitting her resignation.

In less than a year, the machinery factory underwent a transformation and restructuring. The state-owned enterprise became a limited liability company, the general manager was changed, and shares were pooled among the employees. Each share cost 5,000 yuan, with cadres limited to five shares and employees limited to two shares.

But many employees weren't interested. What was the point of buying shares that they couldn't see or touch for 5,000 yuan? Zhao Di was also hesitant. It was Ye Qingqing who told her to buy as much as she had, and that she could borrow more if she needed it.

Zhao Di gritted her teeth and used all her savings of 15,000 yuan, plus 10,000 yuan borrowed from Ye Qingqing, to buy shares. As a cadre, she could buy five shares. At that time, she had no money left and felt uneasy.

But only a year later, the company started distributing profits. The new boss was very capable and expanded the export business, keeping the workshop extremely busy. Zhao Di was in charge of finance and knew the company's profits best. They did make a lot of money. Then, at the end of the year, they started distributing dividends. Every employee who bought original shares could receive a share of the profits. Each share was worth 20,000 yuan. Zhao Di had a total of five shares, so that was 100,000 yuan.

When a huge sum of money suddenly appeared, Zhao Di was completely stunned. It wasn't until she received the money that she realized it wasn't a dream, but a real windfall. Moreover, she would receive a steady stream of dividends in the future, making her initial investment of 25,000 yuan extremely worthwhile.

Then this year, the distribution was even greater, with each share yielding over 30,000 yuan. Zhao Di received over 100,000 yuan, instantly becoming an elite among people. Last year, she bought a house, and this year she plans to buy a car, and she is even less inclined to get married.

Only now has Zhao Di truly understood the meaning of what Ye Qingqing had said when she brainwashed her: a woman can only find a better man if she becomes excellent and strong herself.

It's not that no men have pursued her over the years, but Zhao Di hasn't been interested in any of them. She now owns a house, a car, savings, and five original shares. After the company goes public, she'll receive at least tens of millions from those five shares, so she won't have to worry about making a living even if she doesn't work.

She's perfectly fine on her own, so why would she want to go down the grave of marriage and find herself in trouble? Therefore, she will absolutely not consider marriage unless the man really makes her heart flutter.

"Come on, let's go to your house to talk, it's very sunny outside." Zhao Di pulled Ye Qingqing back home.

"What's going on? It's not like you're getting married, Zhao Di, is it?" Ye Qingqing joked.

Zhao Di glared at Ye Qingqing, who suddenly noticed that Zhao Di's features had become much more refined, not just due to makeup. She blurted out, "Sister Zhao Di, you didn't get plastic surgery, did you?"
