Side Story 3: Retiring After Success
"Do you and your husband also want to withdraw your investment from the design company?" The woman's expression was filled with barely concealed excitement.
Wang Henian, who was standing next to her, had his brows furrowed into a knot.
He coughed lightly as a reminder.
His wife, who was beside him, either didn't hear him at all or deliberately ignored him.
She just stared intently at An Songyu and his wife.
The couple exchanged a glance before saying, "We do have this idea, which is why we came here specifically to discuss it with you!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Henian's gaze fell directly on his friend, and he couldn't help but ask, "Ayu, do you really not want to be a designer anymore?"
“No, not at all!” Jian Ziyu shook her head without hesitation.
Since he became involved with design, he has never thought of giving it up.
“Then you…” Wang Henian asked in a deep voice.
He was filled with so many doubts that he didn't even notice how unpleasant his wife's expression was.
"I'm planning to start a small company again, just doing some designs that I'm interested in!" Jian Ziyu replied with a smile, holding his wife's hand.
He has done a lot of designs throughout his life.
From initial interior design to later luxury homes, commercial centers, and residential buildings.
But he gradually lost the dedication and passion he had when he was doing the design.
Some time ago, my wife started suggesting that she wanted to leave the construction industry.
He could hardly believe it.
But after thinking about it carefully, I suddenly realized...
Yes, designing houses used to always be full of challenges and interests for him.
But now, his design can only be described in two words: market!
But he hadn't even thought about this point before.
As a friend, Chien Tzu-yu did not intend to hide anything from Wang Ho-nian.
In particular, over the years, as the company has developed, they have experienced many, many things.
If it weren't for the fact that the three of them were always able to entrust their trust to each other...
I'm afraid they wouldn't have gotten to where they are today.
Therefore, the company has never belonged solely to the couple.
After listening, Wang Henian remained silent for a long time before saying, "Ayu, you suddenly brought up this idea... not to mention whether I can accept it, the company would probably find it hard to accept."
When he spoke, the look in his eyes as he looked at his friend was particularly complex.
Chien Tzu-yu understood this as well. "We'll discuss it with the company later."
"But as a friend, I'd like to discuss this with you first."
"This was also an unexpected and unimaginable event for me," Wang Henian said with a wry smile, shaking his head.
Not long ago, he was excitedly sketching out the company's future with his friend!
Who knew...
Could it be because of the fact that Uncle and Ayu both fell ill a while ago?
What makes their friends feel guilty about not having enough time to spend with their families all these years because they've been so busy with their careers?
With these questions in mind, Wang Henian left still wondering how to persuade his friends and their spouses to reconsider their feelings.
When he got home, his wife stopped him to discuss how to distribute the shares they had bought back.
They even listed some of the company's veterans who would compete with them.
This made Wang Henian's heart instantly feel colder.
This also made him waver in his decision to continue keeping his friends and their spouses with him.
As time went by, he did develop feelings.
My wife is a designer who returned from abroad; she is both talented and ambitious.
With her joining the company, the already somewhat complicated company became even more complicated.
He could even occasionally sense that his wife was having some thoughts about the company and his say in the company.
He had actually been struggling with how to balance these relationships.
But now it seems...
In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.
In the teahouses of Xinjiang Village, An Jianguo has now become one of the regulars who come to have morning tea.
The villagers around Jiangcun were no longer surprised to see him.
A year ago, the An brothers proposed their idea of retiring from public life to them here.
No matter how many people tried to persuade him, they couldn't change his mind.
However, he has always been kind and generous to others.
Everyone in the company tries their best not to mistreat anyone.
He even granted the wishes of some employees who had accumulated sufficient experience within the company and wanted to take this opportunity to leave and start their own businesses.
However, regarding these people's entrepreneurial direction and ideas.
He earnestly advised them to be extremely cautious.
Some people didn't take it seriously, but others truly heard it in their hearts.
After leaving the company, I will seize the opportunity to re-enter the real estate industry.
Whether venturing into other industries, they have always proceeded with caution.
After all, Anjia's decision to withdraw from the limelight this time has left a deep impression on many people.
From this year to now, most of what they said a year ago has come true.
All that's left are some unfinished projects and the people who took over the company.
"I heard that your company's qualifications alone sold for a lot of money?" a Jiangcun resident asked curiously.
As the construction industry becomes more and more standardized.
Large companies like theirs, which have been developing for many years, possess much more than just personnel and business capabilities.
There are also many other hidden assets.
Now, that wealth has turned into money lying in their family's accounts.
Of course, this company, which was jokingly called a golden egg-laying company, has now become someone else's.
An Jianguo felt both regretful and extremely satisfied.
Seeing his expression, the villagers didn't press him further.
However, everyone already had a general idea of what was going on.
"By the way, did you sell your company building?" Jiang Wenlin asked curiously.
An Jianguo immediately shook his head.
They deal with substandard properties, not these kinds of ones!
"To be honest, I recently took stock of the properties under my name and found that quite a few of them were bought in the early days and the locations weren't particularly good."
"It's fine to keep it for rent, but there doesn't seem to be much need to keep it any longer."
"That's right, that's right, I cleaned it up too."
"Except for the self-built houses with homesteads, which have not been touched, all other properties have been renovated."
"Those that can make money will naturally continue to be left untouched."
"They couldn't make money, and the locations weren't good, so they were all sold."
"Some of the suitable houses were also distributed to the younger members of the family."
"We did get a lot of money back, but keeping it all in our hands isn't a good idea!"
"Brother Jianguo, which direction are you guys going to develop in next?"
"Exactly, we don't believe you really plan to sit at home and retire."
"Let us know too, so we can all have a sip of soup?"
