Jiang Ruyi's life is already predictable; let the remaining decades be spent facing each other, atoning for the mistakes she has made.
When Jiang Ruyu found out, she felt much relieved. She had worked so hard to avoid becoming like the characters in that book, and now she should have succeeded.
Everything is moving in a positive direction. With increasingly relaxed policies, our country is growing and becoming stronger at a rapid pace.
Jiang Lin participated in the border self-defense counterattack war, which has been going on for several years. The war is still not over. All Jiang Ruyu can do is to purchase supplies and donate them to the country to the best of her ability. As for Jiang Lin, she can only pray for his safety.
In 1989, the ten-year border self-defense counterattack war finally achieved a complete victory. By then, Jiang Lin was thirty-five years old and had become a division-level officer. The Jiang family had also stepped into another social class.
By the mid-1990s, Jiang Ruyu had developed her own shopping mall, an oval-shaped building covering an area of nearly 100,000 square meters and five stories high. It was a true one-stop shopping mall.
The shopping mall was named Wanjiahe Shopping Mall, and across from it was the Zhongyufu residential complex under development. Over the past decade or so, Jiang Ruyu had taken over many state-owned factories that were struggling to operate, and successfully transformed them into private enterprises.
She now owns businesses in clothing, catering, supermarkets and department stores, real estate, and affiliated schools, as well as a transportation business operated by Zheng Yang. It's quite a large and successful enterprise.
They are currently planning to establish a group company. During this period, the couple has suffered a lot. In the most chaotic years, their twin daughters were kidnapped. If Jiang Lin hadn't been able to contact them and locate their location, Jiang Ruyu would have gone crazy.
Fortunately, the child was rescued safely in the end. Jiang Lin also took the opportunity to destroy a large underground criminal gang. It is said that this gang was a profiteer during the Cultural Revolution. This time, they finally fell. Under the strong suppression of Jiang Lin and Jiang Tao, the core members of this gang were all executed.
On October 1, 1996, Huayu Group, located in Jingyang District of Yanjing, was officially established. At that time, Zheng Wanyi and Zheng Wanxing were already 24 years old. The two sisters had completely different personalities. Zheng Wanyi graduated from Tsinghua University with a major in law and minored in finance. She was Jiang Ruyu's most valued successor. After graduation, she did not start from the bottom but went directly to follow her mother. Since starting university, Zheng Wanyi had been exposed to these things by her mother's side.
Zheng Wanxing, however, was not interested in any of these things. She went to the PLA Academy of Arts for university. She had been interested in art since she was a child. After the reform and opening up, art developed rapidly. Jiang Ruyu followed the interests of the others and enrolled in classes to learn the interests she liked.
Zheng Wanxing's favorite things are dance and piano, and she has been studying these two things for more than ten years. Now that she has graduated from university, she wants to pursue further studies, so Jiang Ruyu sent her abroad.
As for her youngest son, Zheng Anxu, he was a tough and quiet child who applied to become a pilot in the Air Force. By the time she found out, he had already received his acceptance letter.
When Zheng Anxu first spoke to his parents about his dream, he said, "Mom and Dad, I see how hard you work, but I'm really not cut out for business. With my older sister around, I feel there's no one more suitable to succeed me. As for me, I want to fly into the blue sky and protect my family and my country in another way."
At that time, Jiang Ruyu was already forty-five years old. Looking at her son, whose eyes were filled with determination, she smiled with relief: "Anxu, go ahead. Young eagles must fly. Mom will not stop you. Go and fly. The sky is high and wide enough for you to soar freely."
With his uncle Jiang Lin and uncle Jiang Tao supporting Zheng Anxu, it's hard to say he'll rise to the top in no time, but at least his future is a smooth and promising path.
Zheng Wanyi is a serious and hardworking person. After following Jiang Ruyu for two years, Jiang Ruyu gave her a sum of start-up capital so that she could start her own business. As long as she succeeds, it will be time for her to retire.
Over the years, apart from some highly specialized positions, almost all of Jiang Ruyu's frontline employees have been veterans or their families. Each of her businesses has its own housing, hospital, and school.
As Beijing becomes increasingly prosperous, it also ensures that these migrant workers can endure separation from their families and have the confidence to provide their children with education and medical care through their own efforts.
The new century has arrived. Jiang Ruyu and Zheng Yang have retired. In four years, Zheng Wanyi has successfully established Fanxing Entertainment Company.
When she started her own business, she immediately set her sights on the film and television industry. In just four years, Fanxing Entertainment has made a name for itself. Its film stars, Wang Qi and Fang Hua, are already capable of carrying the show on their own. In the television industry, there are Mu Liang and Gu Wu. Even in the music industry, there are love song prince Zhang Zhenyu and pop diva Liang Anqi.
Now, Fanxing Entertainment has been merged into Huayu Group, and Jiang Ruyu has stepped down from the front line and officially handed over power to her daughter, Wanyi. She and Zheng Yang have started traveling around, staying wherever they feel comfortable for a few more days.
My father-in-law, Zheng Dali, is already in his seventies. Wherever he goes, people like to call him Grandpa. The tremendous changes in our family over the past twenty years feel like a dream to him, but he is still the same as before.
He doesn't care much about food or clothing. His favorite thing to do is go to Yangliu Hutong to chat with old friends and play chess. Otherwise, he takes the assistant arranged by his son and daughter-in-law to travel by plane to keep up with the times. He doesn't like to go with his son and daughter-in-law. He finds it an eyesore to see his son, who is quite old, still trying to please his daughter-in-law like a young man.
Everything is fine at home right now, except that none of the three children want to get married. Zheng Dali is especially anxious because he is afraid that he won't live long enough to see even a great-grandchild. Then, no matter how good the material life is, he will still have regrets.
So, when he saw his three grandchildren, he couldn't help but use a bit of self-pity: "Sweetie, look, Grandpa is so old, he might not live to see tomorrow. When are you going to bring a son-in-law home for me to meet? That way I can finally rest easy."
Zheng Wanxing pretended to sigh with something on his mind, and when his granddaughter asked, he said, "Grandpa dreamed about your grandma. She scolded me, saying that you are all so grown up, but none of you are married, and that I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as an elder."
Looking at her grandfather's sad face, Zheng Wanxing patted her chest and promised that she would bring one back for the New Year.
Just six months later, Zheng Wanyi, who had always been calm and composed, dropped a bombshell when her parents and grandfather were all there: "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, I'm pregnant, and I'm going to have the baby."
