Lín Wēi only realized when she died that having a sister-favoring mother would cause so much damage to her family.
Her father fell from a great height and died. Her younger brother went mis...
"It's not difficult; there's nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it."
Lin Wei thought about it and felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
In particular, when a country needs to develop, it naturally needs money.
If someone is willing to lend a helping hand at this time, as long as it's not too unreasonable, there's nothing wrong with agreeing.
"Hey, what did you guys just say? Eating? I think I heard 'eating'?"
"You understood?" On second thought, "That makes sense. Hong Kong films are quite popular in mainland China, so it's not like I wouldn't understand a single word."
wrong.
Lin Wei could understand it simply because she had also set up a stall in the Dong Province area in her previous life.
Those who have been through countless trials can not only understand what they hear, but also speak a few words in response.
It wasn't quite standard, and back then she would often be teased by people from the eastern province. After that, she stopped talking about it.
But there's no need to explain that clearly.
After strolling around for a while in the morning, the two people, both preoccupied with work, started discussing work matters again after lunch.
Shen Jize handed her several documents, which were about projects that the film market was preparing to invest in.
"Take a look, and if you remember, tell me. This is a stock."
The film's plans are the easiest to execute. "These three will be huge hits, but this one will be shelved for several years before it's released. And this one will definitely flop, but decades later its reputation will recover, and it will be re-released in theaters and become a classic."
"You can consider these." Lin Wei then looked at the stock market names again.
"I didn't quite remember it at first, but I remembered it as soon as I saw the name. That's the name."
The later explanations were classic: this stock kept rising, making many people rich, but she couldn't remember why it plummeted to its daily limit in just three days. Anyway—
Shen Jize frowned. "You're not mistaken?"
"No, what's wrong?" Lin Wei asked quickly after speaking, "This isn't related to you either, is it?"
“I bought a lot before.”
If the stock had hit its daily limit down and he hadn't managed to sell it in time, considering the stocks he bought that summer, he would have been completely ruined, let alone in a few years.
"Who wants to harm you? But your people should be keeping an eye on things, right? If something really happens, you should know before it does." Lin Wei tried to think positively, but things often don't go as planned.
"There are just too many coincidences happening to me, but it's also obvious who wants to harm me." Shen Jize looked at Lin Wei and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. "Weiwei, it's fortunate that you're by my side. Thank you, thank you so much, otherwise..."
"Don't talk nonsense. If that's the case, I'll have to say how lucky I am to have you by my side. Compared to my previous life, I'm living such a good life in this one. Thank you, I really am grateful to you."
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter, unable to be serious at all.
Lin Wei took the document and began to examine it carefully.
"This stock is worth buying. I remember it rose quite a bit, but I remember it should be sold because after it rises to a certain height, it will stop and then fall even more sharply than that other stock two days later."
Listening to Lin Wei's opinion, Shen Jize's flustered emotions gradually calmed down.
"Weiwei, if anyone upsets you when we get to the old house, don't hold back. Just do what you want. I can protect you. Although Shen Qingji is married into the Li family, the old man values me more right now. If my business in Jiangcheng takes off, Shen Qingji will be even more crushed by me."
It was precisely because Lin Wei was involved in Jiangcheng's business that Old Master Shen, after investigating everything thoroughly, did not dislike Lin Wei as much.
People who have value to others are more respected than those who are worthless.
Lin Wei must be the former.

When she returned to the hotel, the clothes that Shen Jize had ordered earlier had already been delivered to her room.
With Shen Jize's help, Lin Wei took out all the clothes one by one, and after trying them on in front of the mirror, she chose a dress that was a little longer and suited her better.
Lin Wei explained earnestly, "If a fight breaks out, the skirt is long enough not to reveal anything. If I want to show off, this outfit will definitely look more dignified than sportswear, plus it's black—I think it's pretty good. It's just that I don't really want to wear high heels."
“Then wear flats. You’re tall, so flats will suit you…” Halfway through his sentence, Shen Jize realized what Lin Wei meant.
"You don't mean to wear sneakers, do you? These clothes don't match sneakers, but if you want to wear them..." He wouldn't object.
“I know, I didn’t want to wear sneakers. I wanted to wear the cloth shoes my aunt made for me, the all-black ones.”
The old style, the kind with a strap on the instep to fasten it.
But because it was made by Lin Xiaomeng, the shoes are delicate and will be more suitable for her foot shape. Lin Xiaomeng even embroidered small patterns on them. Lin Wei likes them quite a bit and thinks they match the outfit fairly well.
"Sure, those shoes should go well with this outfit."
He simply couldn't understand this eclectic style.
"I'm glad you like it."
-
5 o'clock.
The car was parked downstairs.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the Shen family's old residence.
It must be a rather luxurious villa.
"It doesn't even feel as big as your villa in Jiangcheng."
“In this port city, every inch of land is precious. The design is in the details. Every object is carefully considered, and the placement of each item is also important. Although we studied architecture, architectural design is inseparable from it. Feng shui is also important; there are specific considerations for both.”
"Alright, I still have a long way to go, I'll learn slowly."
As soon as the car stopped, a maid came to open the door. After the two got out of the car and straightened their clothes, the maid led them into the house.
The room was packed with people.
Almost the instant they entered the room, everyone turned to look in their direction.
Lin Wei had excellent eyesight and quickly noticed something.
These people, more or less, all bear some resemblance to Shen Jize.
She thought Shen Jize would introduce them to each other, but to her surprise, neither of them seemed inclined to acknowledge the other.
Moreover, the room was unusually quiet.
It's obvious without even guessing that they don't get along very well.
They were the last to arrive. Knowing they were coming, the servants informed Old Master Shen in advance. They had just come in and hadn't found a place to sit down yet when Old Master Shen tapped his cane on the ground twice and said, "Let's eat." Everyone then headed towards the dining room.
Besides Old Master Shen, the two oldest and most powerful members of the Shen family are Shen Jize and Shen Qingji.
In the past, when the family had a meal together, they would sit on either side of Grandpa Shen to show their status.
But today is different. Shen Jize brought her along, and Shen Qingji also brought his fiancée.
However, Shen Jize arranged for her to sit next to Old Master Shen, while he himself sat below.
Lin Wei asked softly, "Should I sit here? That doesn't seem right."
"Yes, you're sitting in my seat. Is there a problem?"
