A fire in the villa burned Lu Wanqing and her husband alive. As she died, she felt a fierce struggle in her belly, her three precious babies... Who could be so cruel? She roared in despair...
Miaomiao's suggestion immediately opened up new possibilities.
After years of development and establishment in Beijing, the group has encountered some bottlenecks, especially in the export business, where orders have not increased for six months.
This is a dangerous sign. Doing business is like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. Staying in the same place means that your market share will be taken away by others.
Instead of staying in one place, it's better to expand southward.
"Miaomiao~" Lu Wanqing suddenly called out, her voice trailing off, her eyes full of a sly smile:
"Why don't you give it a try?"
There's a huge operation here in the capital, all of which are critical businesses, and Huo Xiao definitely can't do without them.
The aircraft navigation business, which is led by Han Tao, has reached a critical juncture and cannot function without his personnel.
Miaomiao was very excited. She had had this idea for a long time: to manufacture new tie-dye clothing and then sell it online.
"Mom, really? I want to start a business with Mufeng through the internet." She glanced at Zhou Mufeng excitedly.
Lu Wanqing laughed and said, "Okay, here's five hundred million. Do whatever you want with it."
Miaomiao immediately beamed with joy and hugged her mother's neck affectionately.
That's just her personality. She can be decisive and efficient at work, but with Lu Wanqing, she acts like a child, being affectionate and playful.
In this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Zhou Mufeng quietly made a decision.
Even though fate played a cruel joke on him, he faced it with a smile.
If Zhuangzhuang really is his younger brother, then he has gained another family member, and there is nothing to complain about.
The next day, he and Zhuangzhuang went to the testing agency to have their genes tested.
“I know my illness is very serious. My biggest worry now is my grandmother. If I pass away, she won’t be able to bear it.”
"Brother, you're a good person. Could you please give the money for the testing to my grandma so she can have some money to live on in the future?"
When Zhou Mufeng was about to pay, Zhuangzhuang stopped him.
The testing fee is over 12,000 yuan, which is really too expensive.
Even a hero can be brought down by a penny. He had seen his grandmother walk five or six kilometers to save two yuan on a bus ticket, and he had also seen her humble herself to buy him some local eggs at a cheap price.
She used to be such a domineering person, but for him, she suppressed all her sharpness and became an old lady who was ridiculed and had to smile at people.
Zhou Mufeng remained expressionless and continued to pay; he would not agree to such a request.
If he didn't have the ability, that would be fine, but now that he has the ability to do these things, consider it an atonement for his mother's sins.
A few days later, the report came out, and someone retrieved it for him.
He opened it with trembling hands. Even though he was mentally prepared, his head still went blank when he saw that the kinship test showed that they were brothers.
He has a half-brother who now suffers from uremia.
If he doesn't receive treatment soon, he will die.
This suffocating news left him motionless for a long time, just sitting there quietly.
After calming himself down, he called Lu Wanqing and Miaomiao separately to explain his thoughts.
He knew he had to save the person and expand the new company, so he decided to first have the best doctors in Beijing prepare a treatment plan, and then take the person back to their original province for treatment.
"Mufeng, just do what you want. Mom supports you," Lu Wanqing encouraged him.
"Honey, do everything you can to save Zhuangzhuang. He's a good boy," Miaomiao encouraged him.
Soon, after Zhuangzhuang's condition was brought under control through dialysis, he returned to his hometown with Zhou Mufeng and Miaomiao.
He was admitted to the city hospital here, where he received treatment while waiting for a kidney donor.
When the old lady learned that Zhou Mufeng was her grandson and that he only had half of his liver left, she cried her heart out.
Knowing that Zhuangzhuang could be saved, she slumped down like a deflated balloon and soon fell ill.
Zhou Mufeng had no feelings for this nominal grandmother, but the bond of blood compelled him to do everything in his power to save her. In the end, the old lady grabbed his hand and begged him:
“You’re Zhuangzhuang’s only family member, you must save him.”
He passed away only after seeing Zhou Mufeng nod.
In fact, Zhou Mufeng had been inquiring about kidney sources.
There are too few voluntary donors, and those who want to sell their kidneys for money end up in the black market.
He had also heard that there were many kidney donors in Southeast Asia, but without demand there would be no killing. He couldn't let one person have to have another person's kidney removed just to save one person.
Fortunately, the dialysis sessions, which lasted three times every two weeks, have greatly improved his condition. His pale face has regained some color, and he has even tried to get rid of the wheelchair and walk on his own.
After more than two months of recovery, he is able to walk normally and has gained more than ten kilograms.
"Brother, thank you. When Grandma was alive, Uncle Huo said that I should pay back the money by working. Can you give me some work?" He remembered the promise he made back then.
Zhou Mufeng was furious: "You're still a patient, why are you in such a hurry to work?"
He did not agree.
Zhuangzhuang then went to ask Miaomiao.
Miaomiao felt that he was much better than before in every way. Except when he needed to go to the hospital for dialysis, he was a completely normal person otherwise.
Forcing a normal person to stay cooped up at home all day can lead to depression and hinder recovery.
She asked Zhuangzhuang what he could do and received a surprising answer.
It turns out that he skipped several grades in school and had already graduated from high school and been admitted to a university to study computer science, but he didn't go to school because he was sick.
Over the past two years, he has been learning programming on his own, and because of his focus, he has done quite well.
The company is almost ready to go into operation, and we're short-staffed right now, so we'll just give him an internet-related job.
Zhuangzhuang was overjoyed. He would arrive at the company early every day, clean the office, prepare tea, and then get to work, sometimes even working overtime.
Because he wouldn't listen to anything he said and insisted on working overtime with everyone, Zhou Mufeng simply stipulated that no one in the department was allowed to work overtime.
The boy had no choice but to go home dejectedly and do some research on the internet there.
Miaomiao has successfully produced its first batch of clothes made from fabric dyed using a new immersion dyeing technique by collaborating with existing garment factories.
The designs were all produced by Wenwan Garment Factory, with a dazzling array of styles.
The fabrics are mainly cotton and linen, and she named her clothing brand Jianmian (Simple Cotton).
After Jianmian Clothing entered the market, it did not receive much attention.
As people's lives become more affluent, they are also becoming more particular about their clothing.
Silk and satin are irresistible and perfect for showing off wealth.
Wearing some cotton and linen clothes makes me feel like I've gone back to the hard times of twenty or thirty years ago.
No matter how beautiful the clothes are or how novel the design is, they will reject them outright.
The clothes were taken back to the group and sold through the group's existing channels, but the results were still unsatisfactory.
It seems like nobody likes to buy it; they think wearing these kinds of clothes is embarrassing.
The news also reported that Wenwan Group's new clothing brand was not performing well...
