From then on, Huang Wanzhen never asked about Huang Wanshu again, and Huang Dongshi never talked to her about it again. It was as if Huang Wanshu had never appeared, and the Huang family returned to peace.

Suddenly one day, Huang Wanzhen came back from school and announced that she was going back to Shanghai.

Huang Dongshi also wanted to go back, but who would take care of the restaurant and the company if he left?!

"This round trip will take at least three months. Doesn't your company want it?"

Huang Wanzhen smiled and said, "I've asked a junior schoolmate to help me take care of it. Her name is Jessica. She will be the manager of the clothing company tomorrow. Xiuqing is here at the beauty salon, so it won't be a big problem. I'll also ask Jingyi to help me keep an eye on it."

Mrs. Huang disagreed, "Jingyi is so busy that she doesn't even have time to look after the children, so how can she have time to help you run the beauty salon? Wait a few years and then you can find time to go back."

Huang Wanzhen had to find an excuse, "Wen Yin wrote to me, saying that something happened at the company in Shanghai and asked me to go back and deal with it."

Mrs. Huang still didn't want Huang Wanzhen to go back. Besides, the company belonged to Mr. Song. If something went wrong, Mr. Song couldn't solve it, so why would she, a former general manager, get involved? But no matter how much she persuaded her, Huang Wanzhen still wanted to go back.

After things were settled, Huang Wanzhen began to make preparations. She wanted to use the winter vacation to go back. Although it was not enough, at least she could take less leave. Huang Wanzhen didn't want to bring anyone else with her because they were all very busy, but the journey was long, so for safety reasons, she still brought Huang Dachui with her.

Unlike the last time she came to the United States, when she drifted on the sea for more than a month, four or five years later, navigation technology had developed significantly, and it only took Huang Wanzhen one month to reach the port of Shanghai.

Song Wenyin waited at the port for three consecutive days and finally waited for Huang Wanzhen. She excitedly took off her white gauze hat and waved it vigorously at Huang Wanzhen. The two had not seen each other for many years, but their relationship was not only not unfamiliar, but even closer. They hugged each other at the port for a long time before the excitement in their chests subsided a little.

"Hey, Wanzhen, you've grown taller and thinner!" Song Wenyin screamed, pulling Huang Wanzhen's hand.

Huang Wanzhen laughed out loud, "I'm almost 30, how could I still grow taller? I've really lost weight."

Song Wenyin punched Huang Wanzhen on the shoulder, "What are you talking about! She's only 28, the height of her youth!"

"What are your plans this time?" Song Wenyin said with a smile after the two got in the car. "Although I received your letter, I don't believe a single word of what you said. Jixiangtang is our hard work. How could you possibly disband it?!"

Unexpectedly, Huang Wanzhen actually nodded and said, "What I said is true."

This was also the first time Huang Dachui heard of this. Sitting in the passenger seat, he was shocked and turned his head back slightly. He wanted to say something but held it back.

When they arrived at the Western restaurant on Xiafei Road, Huang Wanzhen explained to Song Wenyin in detail, "I'm not optimistic about the domestic situation. Japan has occupied the three northeastern provinces for so long, and the Democratic Party is still engaged in internal strife, while Japan has already accumulated strength. The country may be plunged into dire straits next."

"I came back this time to take care of the domestic industries. Although there are not many, it is better to let them pay and take over in advance than to leave them to be ruined by the Japanese."

"You want to sell it to the Japanese? What should I do then?" Song Wenyin was shocked at first, and then she began to think carefully.

In recent years, the Japanese have become increasingly rampant in China. Whether in Beijing or Shanghai, the Japanese have bullied the Chinese, and no one cares. Even in the concessions, although the Japanese did not have a clear concession, they firmly occupied one area and developed their own power. They even ignored the Americans and British. Some time ago, she had heard that North China wanted autonomy. Now there is no unity in the country.

"Will our great country really be occupied by the Japanese?" Song Wenyin didn't want to believe it, nor did she dare to believe it.

"Won't."

Song Wenyin suddenly looked up at Huang Wanzhen, staring into her eyes seriously and said, "Really? It can't be like that, right?"

Huang Wanzhen nodded. "That depends on the efforts of all parties involved. I'm not good at fighting, but fortunately I still have some money. I'm going to sell my property and do my part."

As if she had thought of something, Song Wenyin's eyes became firm, "Well, you are right."

With the help of Sidonie, a Japanese buyer was quickly found for the property near Xiafei Road. Huang Wanzhen was in a hurry and did not ask for much, so the transaction was completed at the market price.

However, Jixiangtang encountered difficulties. It was listed in a foreign company for more than ten days, but no Japanese was interested in it.

Huang Wanzhen took a different approach and approached Fan Hengming, asking him to introduce her to Chen Mingzhu. She had heard that there were Japanese people behind the Chen family's business.

Unexpectedly, Fan Hengming strongly opposed it and even lost his temper towards Huang Wanzhen. "The Chen family won't work. Let's find another one."

Huang Wanzhen steadily picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Why not?"

Fan Hengming lowered his voice and said, "The Chen family thought they had found some powerful backer, but in fact they were courting disaster. Sooner or later, the Chen family's assets will fall into the hands of the Japanese!"

Huang Wanzhen leaned forward slightly and, imitating Fan Hengming's behavior, replied in a low voice, "Yes, I know. I just want to sell it to the Japanese. I can't find any Japanese buyers, so I'm asking you for help!"

Fan Hengming looked at Huang Wanzhen suspiciously, "What's going on here?"

Huang Wanzhen didn't dare to tell Fan Hengming what Song Wenyin had heard. She knew Fan Hengming's special identity. Based on her understanding of Fan Hengming, this guy would definitely be furious if he heard it.

"If Mao Ni tells you something, is it still Mao Ni? Just tell me whether you want to help me or not. I'm telling you, I'm going to invest the money from selling the company in you guys."

Fan Hengming's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really?"

Huang Wanzhen was silent for a moment before she spoke, "But not at this time. It's okay when it's public."

Fan Hengming whispered, "It is for external use."

Huang Wanzhen said nothing and just kept drinking tea.

When Fan Hengming was about to get anxious, Huang Wanzhen said, "It's not time yet. Go back and talk to your teacher. Ask him if I'm worth helping. I'll be waiting for you here in two days."

Two days later, Professor Gao came with Fan Hengming.

Huang Wanzhen shook hands with Professor Gao very solemnly, "Professor Gao, why are your hair all white?"

Professor Gao glanced at Fan Hengming and said with a smile, "The students are too disobedient. They are doing their homework in a mess. I am worried about them."

Huang Wanzhen asked the two to sit down, ordered a pot of tea and two plates of pastries. After the waiter left, Huang Wanzhen personally poured tea for Professor Gao and Fan Hengming before talking about the company.

This time Fan Hengming was very easy to talk to. He agreed as soon as Huang Wanzhen mentioned it. Huang Wanzhen thought that this matter should be almost certain, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly. After that, the few of them didn't talk about anything important, but just talked about some things that happened after they parted.
