Chapter 365 The Curtain Falls Hastily

Lu Songyun first breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked even more worried.

She stood there, conflicted for a long time, then let out a long sigh of helplessness, and went upstairs listlessly without speaking to Shen Xuewei again.

Shen Xuewei watched her retreating figure, somewhat puzzled.

He spoke in a rambling, incoherent way, and stopped halfway through his sentence. She thought he really had some good project to introduce her to invest in...

Before we knew it, it was Dragon Boat Festival, and the school gave us a three-day holiday.

Shen Xuewei declined Lian Jinian's invitation to travel, saying she needed to reunite with her family. She then boarded a plane to Huacheng with Chen Fanglan, who had come to visit.

The group consisted of four people: the two of them, Wu Jingrou, and Chen Fanglan's new boyfriend.

Yes, that's right. Chen Fanglan's boyfriend is no longer the one named Ruiming from last time.

Shen Xuewei had heard Chen Fanglan complain before, so she roughly knew the ins and outs of the matter.

This guy, Ruiming, after dating Chen Fanglan for a few months, became dissatisfied with just receiving 20,000 yuan from her each month and developed bigger ambitions, wanting to interfere in the company's affairs.

Platinum Beauty Salon was taken over by Chen Fanglan and it took several years to develop into the chain beauty salon it is today with nearly 30 branches.

This is what Chen Fanglan values ​​most. Apart from Shen Xuewei, who is the second largest shareholder and can get a little involved, she would never allow anyone else to touch what belongs to her.

At first, Ruiming said he was bored and wanted her to arrange a position for him in the company.

Chen Fanglan didn't think too much about it at the time, so she created an unimportant position and assigned Ruiming to work there.

Unexpectedly, Ruiming, relying on her connection, started interfering with the work of his colleagues and superiors, creating chaos in the department and offending one of her important customers.

Not only that, but he even made outrageous remarks while drunk, claiming that once he and she got married, the entire company would be his.

Chen Fanglan couldn't stand it, so she had Wu Jingrou throw his things out of the apartment that very day and kicked him out of the company.

Thus, her relationship, which lasted only a few months, came to an abrupt end.

Shen Xuewei sighed. Why not just enjoy a good life instead of coveting things that don't belong to her?

If anyone were as well-behaved and honest as her second uncle, they wouldn't have been kicked out so easily...

As for the one now, it looks quite well-behaved for the time being.

However, if someone tries to do the same thing as the previous one and makes a move on Platinum Joy Skin Research Society, Chen Fanglan will not hesitate to kick them out.

Shen Xuewei yawned, her eyes even welling up with tears from exhaustion.

She said with a hint of helplessness, "Auntie, why do you insist on having me come to choose the location for the new store? Isn't it enough for you?"

Chen Fanglan glanced at her briefly while looking at the documents, and gave a cold snort.

"I'm your aunt, can't I even ask you to keep me company?"

She and Shen Xuewei hadn't seen each other for several months since the Lunar New Year.

Since she had a little free time and Shen Xuewei happened to be on vacation, she thought of taking Shen Xuewei with her to Huacheng.

Hey... she meant well, and this girl still has a problem with it.

"Sigh..." Shen Xuewei raised her hands and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, Auntie, whatever you say, I'll listen to you."

Chen Fanglan tossed a thin blanket over Shen Xuewei, saying, "Cover yourself and get some sleep. We'll be in Huacheng when you wake up."

Shen Xuewei picked up a thin blanket, wrapped it around herself, closed her eyes, and took a nap.

The flight from Shanghai to Guangzhou takes only about two hours.

Shen Xuewei landed in Huacheng and looked at everything in front of her, her expression somewhat dazed.

She's back in this place so quickly.

She lived here for more than six years before being sent to her maternal grandmother's house in Italy; this place is where her journey began.

It was not only the starting point of her birth, but also the starting point of a turning point in her previous life.

After breaking with her family, she moved south to Huacheng to develop her career.

Here, she met a woman who had just divorced and was starting a business with nothing to lose.

At that time, e-commerce was developing rapidly and constantly innovating and changing. Shen Xuewei had rich experience in e-commerce operations, and many companies contacted her as soon as she uploaded her resume.

It's good to have a big company to rely on, and Shen Xuewei naturally wanted to find a job at a big company at the time.

So after interviewing with several companies, I decided to settle down as soon as possible since I didn't have much money.

While she was looking at several job offers and struggling to decide which company to go to, the owner of a startup company kept messaging her on WeChat.

Shen Xuewei used to accept all offers of interviews, interviewing with three or four companies in one day. This startup company was the one she interviewed with on her first day in Huacheng.

Of course, when better companies came along, she naturally ruled out this one.

The most important reason is that the company is still very early stage. The entire company consists of just the boss, and there is nothing else yet.

Although the company may lack many things, the boss has plenty of patience and perseverance.

After confirming that Shen Xuewei had extensive experience in e-commerce operations, they made grand promises to recruit her.

They promised high salaries, year-end bonuses, weekends off, five social insurances and one housing fund, various holidays, and company shares—one pie in the sky after another.

Shen Xuewei acted impulsively and was persuaded by her sweet words, and actually agreed to go to her company.

The company succeeded as she had hoped, and of her several promises, she received all of them except for the last one, which was to give her company shares.

Shen Xuewei had argued with her about the shares, but she didn't get them before leaving the company.

Later, the company declined, partly due to increasing competition, and partly due to internal problems.

She and the company owner had a successful entrepreneurial relationship, and they gradually came to understand each other's experiences through their interactions.

The person would express sympathy and anger for her misfortune, and would eventually advise her to sever ties with her family and never contact them again.

When Shen Xuewei heard that she had been abused by her husband and had to leave with nothing but her daughter in a divorce, she comforted her and told her to look forward and that things would get better.

Many people can speak eloquently when advising or comforting others, but when it comes to their own situation, they can't do the same.

Shen Xuewei was burdened with over 200,000 yuan in debt and harbored resentment towards Chen Fangmin and Shen Jiaying. She truly severed ties with them and never gave them a single penny again.

However, after the woman succeeded in her business, she was coaxed by the man for half a month with just a few words, and eventually they remarried.

After being reminded by Shen Xuewei, he argued that it was for his daughter's sake, to give her a complete family.

She handed the company over to her husband to manage, and he brought in a bunch of relatives.

They thought Shen Xuewei's monthly salary of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan was too high, so they reduced her salary and demoted her, forcing her to leave.

Shen Xuewei did indeed leave as he wished, but less than six months after she left, the company went bankrupt due to poor management.

Although the subsequent events were unpleasant, Huacheng was indeed a turning point in her past life's destiny.
