Lu Jin hid aside and whispered on the phone, "Sister-in-law, someone from the TV station is coming to the front yard. I see Station Master Xie is furious. He's clutching his chest and gnashing his teeth as he tells me to get Boss Zhou to come over."

Zhou wanted to know that his cousin was worried about the money. He was responsible for the living expenses of more than 20 people and could not find any profitable projects. Fortunately, the pension insurance was covered by the county company, otherwise he would have to quit.

"Got it. I'll go to the front yard now."

Ling Ran, the follower, followed immediately.

Zhou Xiang recognized Jin Xiaoling at a glance. Her previous sweet image was replaced by that of a strong career woman.

Jin Xiaoling was stunned for a few seconds before she recognized Zhou Xiang, thanks to those big eyes. "Zhou Xiang."

"Sister Jin."

Jin Xiaoling nodded. "I almost didn't recognize you. Girls really change as they grow older, becoming more and more beautiful! Who is this?"

Jin Xiaoling was a little confused when she saw Ling Ran following behind her. He was not like either of the two teenagers back then.

"My wife, Ling Ran, is also from this town. Ling Ran, this is Jin Xiaoling. She was the one who interviewed me on the provincial TV station back then."

"Hello!" Jin Xiaoling greeted generously.

"Hello!" In consideration of the fact that the reporter had reported the matter truthfully back then, Ling Ran was finally willing to answer the other woman.

But, this woman, did I give you face? Because, the next second, this woman said to his wife: "Zhou Xiang, with your talent, why did you marry back to this small town? A few years ago, if you hadn't suddenly gone to Beijing to study, your exclusive interview would have been mine again."

Ling Ran decided that from now on, he would put on a cold face to every woman, without any exception. The only exception was this time, when he gave her a little good look. He didn't know how many eyes the Horse King had.

Zhou Xiang felt the irritation of the people around him and smiled, "Sister Jin misunderstood. I came back to get a husband. How can the men outside know my background as well as the local men here?"

Jin Xiaoling was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "That's right. I can tell him everything about his ancestors for eighteen generations."

People around Jin Xiaoling urged her to stop reminiscing and start filming!

Jin Xiaoling nodded. "Zhou Xiang, let's get started! What do you want?"

"It's beautiful! I don't understand anything else."

The advertising company started filming, and Jin Xiaoling asked her subordinates to interview a few tourists as a gift.

Everyone behind him had gone to work, and Zhou wanted to ask about Jin Xiaoling's current position.

"Director of the News Center."

"Congratulations!" Zhou Xiang congratulated her sincerely.

Jin Xiaoling smiled bitterly, "It took me ten years to become the director. It was all because of my courage and determination. Working in journalism often requires running myself crazy. Look at me now, I look like a strong woman, but who can understand the sadness behind it?"

When I'm exhausted, I often ask myself, what am I really after? Fame? Fortune? Money? I don't have any of those! I have no idea what my goal is.

Jin Xiaoling was probably really tired, and she wanted to complain to Zhou, whom she had just met for the second time.

Zhou wanted to understand that being a strong woman is not something that everyone can do. If you have a family, it will be even more tiring. Since she wants to find someone to talk to, she will give her some advice.

"If this isn't your passion, I suggest you quit. There's no need to live such a tiring life. Women suffer the most in the workplace. Even if you make it to the top, you won't gain a good reputation. Like you said, you should at least know what you're fighting for. At least have a goal, right?"

Jin Xiaoling was stunned. She really didn't expect Zhou Xiang to comfort her and ask her to be patient.

Then, she laughed, laughed out loud, tears rolling down her eyes. In just two encounters, Zhou Xiang was able to give her the best advice, but her relatives told her to continue to endure for the sake of stability and to climb higher in the future.

She wiped away her tears and said, "Zhou Xiang, you know what? I've been very tired in recent years. Whenever I see an acquaintance, I complain like this. However, only you give different advice.

I am 34 years old, and my family advises me to be patient and stick to this job which is an honor to them. I am so busy that I don’t even have enough time to sleep. They also force me to go on blind dates and get married. If I get married, I will go crazy because I will have my own family to take care of.

At this moment, I decided that I wanted to travel, I wanted to take photos, and seeing and photographing the world was what I loved most.

Zhou Xiang was dumbfounded. Did she do something good or bad?

Jin Xiaoling couldn't help but lift up and touch the top of Zhou Xiang's head. She had wanted to touch it back then.

"Zhou Xiang, don't think too much. I just need a voice of support, just one."

Zhou Xiang nodded. "You'd better bring a small camera and a laptop, set up a website, upload the beautiful scenery you see and the different folk customs of different places, maybe you will create a unique website."

Jin Xiaoling's face lit up immediately. "Yes! Yes! Not to mention generating income, even preserving it this way is good. I can savor it later. Thank you, Zhou Xiang!"

"I just hope you won't blame me later."

Jin Xiaoling shook her head. "No, I'm tired of this kind of life and I really want to escape the shackles on me. But don't worry, it will take some time for me to resign. I will help you get the best time slot for your promotional video."

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome!" Jin Xiaoling smiled. Her smile was relaxed and revealed her original sweetness.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Jin Xiaoling really wanted to get out of her current predicament before making the decision, so she put her worries aside.

After finishing the filming in the park, they were going to shoot in the tunnel and exhibition hall. Ling Ran asked Zhou Xiang not to follow them, and he would take the group with him.

Jin Xiaoling was also unwilling to follow, she didn't need to fight anymore.

"Let's go to my house and sit down."

"good!"

After seeing the Zhou family’s building, Jin Xiaoling had no regrets about her decision. The ten years Zhou Xiang had spent were worth more than her ten years, and she didn’t want to be a stepping stone for others anymore.

Zhou Niao was about to leave with Lu Zhaochong, Jin Chao and their family of three. When he saw his sister coming home, he handed the two scrolls in his hand to her.

"I'm leaving now."

"Not eating lunch?"

"After lunch and dinner, how long do you plan to keep me here?"

Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Zhou Niao smiled, "Goodbye!"

The nanny car left. Zhou Xiang sighed softly, turned around and invited Jin Xiaoling into the yard.

Jin Xiaoling finally came back to her senses, "That, that's your eldest brother?"

Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes!"

"I remember your eldest brother seemed, seemed."

"Yes, his intelligence has recovered a lot now, so he is different from before."

"But, the painting he gave you?"

"My eldest brother learned it. He painted the park's predecessor. There are no photos, so he had to paint it now."

Jin Xiaoling once again felt that her ten years were not worth it, so not worth it. Zhou Xiang's elder brother spent ten years learning painting, and Zhou Xiang spent ten years earning these two buildings and parks, and maybe even more. What did she get in her ten years?

Her achievements were suppressed again and again just because she was a woman. It would be the easiest life for her to be like Zhou Xiang and the others, with no one to look after her.
