Over fifty years old, without children, she cared for her aging parents. After seeing them to their end, and with a bit of savings in hand, a mysterious space suddenly appeared.
What was ther...
Leaving aside the events of the previous life, just in this life, how much have we experienced, and how many people know about it, and how have we managed to get through it all?
Fortunately, having lived through two lifetimes, I have a better perspective on things than others. No matter how difficult the problems I encounter, I can face them calmly, otherwise I would be finished.
As for class reunions, even if there are various problems involved, you still have to go when it's time to go, right?
As for what my daughter said, it's impossible to avoid the fact that no one will ask about it later.
Fortunately, there are only two children in the family who are not yet married. Even if someone really wants to arrange a marriage with the Shen family, it is not impossible, but the children themselves must be willing.
But how easy is it to justify this? Not only does the fourth sister, Ruohua, have a boyfriend, but his boyfriend's family is also well-off.
As for the third brother, Hongyu, we still don't know where he's hiding.
Getting him to go on blind dates is extremely difficult. If the other party is willing to wait, why not give them both a chance?
The problem is that girls nowadays are unwilling to endure loneliness. Not only do they only see each other a few times a year, but the men are never home, so the women have to shoulder all the responsibilities. Without a strong heart, it's impossible to persevere.
So, it's not impossible for anyone to suggest that their children try dating, but the prerequisite is that they have to be able to endure loneliness.
"Come and see, come and see! Our classmate Li, Chairman Li, Boss Li is here!"
"No, no, let's all go in together!"
"Great! Our classmate Li is doing so well! In just a few decades, he's become a big boss."
"You're not bad either. I heard you're a university professor now. Isn't that pretty impressive?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing! Come on, let's all go inside."
Is it really necessary to start bragging as soon as you meet someone? Or is everyone so pragmatic these days, only caring about those who are more successful than themselves or those who are only interested in their own interests? If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to find a way to skip class reunions or leave early in the future.
Can't you see the current situation? Everyone's only focused on currying favor with me. I don't remember when we were in school we weren't this close.
How did we become best friends? It's unbelievable.
"Chairman Li, I heard that you recently stepped down as the chairman of the company. I wonder where you are now, or what projects you are working on. We have been classmates for many years, why not lead everyone to make money together?"
"I don't have any good projects, nor do I work for any company. Right now, I'm just working on a charity foundation, and it's hard to say whether it's profitable or not."
After all, it's about doing charity work, which has nothing to do with making money.
I heard that Chen went into business back in the 90s, and more than ten years have passed. I heard he made a fortune. Why are you asking me how much I've earned today?
I think others may not know, but you, Chen, are in the business world, so you should know some things better than other students!
"How come you seem to know nothing here? This doesn't seem like Mr. Chen's usual business acumen!"
"I wouldn't dare. How could I compare to Chairman Li? Even if I started my business earlier, I still didn't start earlier than Chairman Li!"
If I remember correctly, when I started my own business and things were just starting to look promising, Chairman Li led a team to Hong Kong to help revive the market.
In this respect, who among our classmates can compare to you, Chairman Li?
"There's no comparison. My achievements today are certainly not solely due to my own efforts, but I haven't been skirting the edge of the law, unlike Mr. Chen who exploits legal loopholes, right?"
"you?"
"President Chen, there's no need for you, me, or him. You've been making trouble for me in front of so many old classmates since we met. Isn't that just to test my limits in front of everyone?"
But Chen, you think too highly of yourself.
Putting aside my extensive experience in the business world, even if I weren't in this industry, I'm not the kind of person who can cause trouble for anyone.
The things I've experienced and the world I've seen are beyond the reach of someone like you, the owner of a small company.
"You're only where you are today because of your man. If it weren't for your man's ability and his powerful family, you wouldn't be where you are today."
"Then why don't you say that the men of the Shen family have gotten to where they are today because of my family? Because of my deceased parents?"
"What a joke! How could that be? Everyone knows your parents died when you were a teenager. Relying on your parents is a complete joke."
"Really? It seems you know something about my past?"
Since that's the case, then let me ask you, do you know that the four Shen siblings were all taught by my mother since childhood, especially Shen Nan? She not only received my mother's true teachings in martial arts, but she was also my mother's student in medicine.
Do you know about this? Judging from your expression, you probably don't!
Besides these, although I did not become a soldier, my parents were revolutionary fighters and members of the Shen family. I still received a lot of help and support from my parents' comrades in this regard.
You probably don't know that either, do you?
But then again, the person who benefits the most is probably myself. After all, even though I didn't join the army, their old comrades still have a certain say when they return to civilian life.
My success in the business world over the years is indeed inseparable from them, and I, Li Mianmian, have never dared to forget that.
Why did Mr. Chen bring this up specifically today? Is there some question, or do you think that my charity work is just for show, or just to attract attention?
Or perhaps my recent series of investments have infringed upon the interests of certain individuals.
If that's the case, then I can only apologize; I only played a leading role in this matter for a short time.
If anyone has any objections, they can go directly to the relevant person in charge; this matter is not my responsibility.
Oh! By the way, could you please pass on a message to Mr. Chen: when it comes to people and business, especially those in the business world, it's best not to just focus on making money, but also to think about the country and future generations.
Otherwise, no matter how much money you earn, you won't have the life to spend it.
"you!"
"What do you mean 'you'? Whether you listen to my kind advice or not is your business. As for the person behind you, I'm not afraid of him at all. I was able to send him in back then, and I can do it now."
"How...how did you know?"
"How would I know? You don't need to worry about that."
