Even her sister-in-law and brother's wife remained silent, as if they hadn't heard her conversation with Jiang's mother at all.
Sister Jiang felt as if she was about to be submerged by the seawater, and the feeling of suffocation became increasingly intense.
Every second I spend here is agonizing.
Sister Jiang put down what she was still packing and said haphazardly, "Mom, I have something to do at home, I have to go now."
"Hey! Stop right there!"
"You incompetent ingrate! You still haven't paid me this month!"
"Stop right there! Give me the money!"
Jiang's mother grabbed her and said fiercely.
Sister Jiang was breathing heavily. She took out twenty yuan from her pocket, slapped it into her mother's hand, and turned to leave.
The indulgence of her older and younger brothers, and the tacit approval of her sister-in-law and brother's wife, all made Sister Jiang understand.
That’s true.
Once they arrive in Beijing, how could my younger sister possibly abandon them?
The older and younger brothers are the beneficiaries, while the sisters-in-law and younger brothers' wives are also benefiting from this arrangement.
They've enjoyed the benefits of most of their lives, and they can still leech off younger women. How could they possibly feel guilty or repent?
No one could be more selfish than them.
Sister Jiang was completely heartbroken by this family. When she returned home and saw her two children, she began to feel anxious again.
My younger sister definitely didn't know that Mom had taken her whole family to Beijing.
We have no idea what they're thinking.
What if she gets entangled with someone?
Sister Jiang felt a bitter taste in her mouth and wanted to tell her younger sister about it, but no matter how anxious she was, she didn't know how to contact her.
She...didn't know where her younger sister lived, or even her address...
Amidst Sister Jiang's anxiety, Jiang's family finally packed their things and hurriedly squeezed onto the crowded train, heading towards Beijing.
Jiang Ci was unaware that he was about to encounter a host of major troubles.
She organized all her work and completed the handover with the person who would take over her position.
With a month to go before October, the ministry is giving the departing delegation members ample time to spend with their families and take care of their personal matters, in addition to unified meetings and classes.
Jiang Ci, on the other hand, spent more time with Zhou Yang, Zhou Miao, and Zhou Mingli.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao could not refute their mother's decision.
Their only way of expressing their reluctance to part was to cling to the Jiang porcelain.
Jiang Ci was so bothered by the two of them that she discussed it with Zhou Mingli and decided to install a telephone at home as well.
This cost a lot of money.
Furthermore, Jiangci inquired with the post office and learned that there are two ways to make a call from country M to Beijing: one is to have someone handle the call and the other is to dial directly to China. The latter costs 12 yuan, while the former costs 8 yuan, and you also need to open an account and deposit money in advance.
After Jiang Ci finished asking, when she returned, Zhou Miao and Zhou Yang heard that it cost eight yuan for a minute of conversation. Zhou Yang blurted out, "That's the price of two roast ducks!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao both showed expressions of heartache.
That's so expensive!
Zhou Miao threw herself at Jiang Ci, her eyes pleading, "Mom, can't we really not go?"
"No, I can't." Jiang Ci touched her fair face, feeling very reluctant to let her go.
Zhou Miao's eyes were brimming with tears.
“When we get a TV in the future, maybe you’ll see me on TV,” Jiang Ci said.
Zhou Yang asked, "Mom, are you going to act in a movie?"
The department would organize movie screenings for employees' families, and Zhou Yang loved watching them, so he would go with a group of friends.
Jiang Ci's lips twitched, and she patted his head, "Besides watching movies, what else do you watch?"
Zhou Yang counted on his fingers and said, "There are opera singers and singers too!"
Then, he deliberately strained his voice to sing Huangmei Opera.
Jiang Ci couldn't help but laugh out loud at his antics.
"You'll see later." She smiled and patted the two children's heads.
Besides spending time with her two children, Jiang Ci had nothing else to do, so she helped Sister-in-law Yu sell clothes with Li Ailian. Then, together with Li Ailian and Tao Susu, she sent Huang Zheyue, Cheng Ke, and Shen Ting to university.
At the end of August, Peking University and Washington University started their new semester!
Jiang Ci graduated from Peking University, where she knew many of her teachers and classmates who stayed on to teach.
Once the connections were established, Huang Zheyue and Cheng Ke were already receiving preferential treatment even before classes started.
Huang Zheyue wasn't particularly excited about going to university; Jiang Ci's departure for the country dampened his joy.
But he had no reason to stop Aunt Jiang from going; it was her choice.
Just as Jiang Ci never interfered with his choices, she encouraged him to do it after weighing the pros and cons.
However, Huang Zheyue was not as happy as she had imagined about moving into the university dormitory.
He would rather live with Zhou Yang, have breakfast with Aunt Jiang in the morning, and eat Uncle Zhou's cooking with the Zhou family in the evening.
He had completely accepted himself as a member of the Zhou family.
On her first night sleeping in the dormitory, Huang Zheyue didn't participate in her roommates' chattering discussion; she lay on her bed staring at the ceiling.
He was a little homesick.
Jiang Ci was unaware of Huang Zheyue's delicate thoughts; she then went to visit Zhou Mingli's factory.
After several months, the factory was completed, and he called Mr. Lu again, asking him to have someone bring the machines to Beijing.
After a period of running around, Zhou Mingli managed to find most of the raw materials, equipment, and workers.
They even spent a lot of money to have someone buy an LCD TV from Hong Kong and send it to the R&D area so that Shao Yishan and four others could study the technology.
A production line doesn't require many workers; currently, the entire factory has only about eighty people in total.
Even so, the team was finally assembled.
Jiang Ci walked around and went with Zhou Mingli to his office where he met with business partners. He asked, "How come the progress is so much faster than expected?"
“This means the employees I hired are capable.” Zhou Mingli pulled her to sit next to the fan. “We can officially open next week, but there is still one very important thing that hasn’t been done yet.”
Jiang Ci: "Hmm?"
Zhou Mingli looked at her and said, "The factory doesn't have a name yet."
Jiangci remained silent. "You've brought in the equipment, the raw materials, the experienced workers you hired have already started training the new employees, and the production line is about to go into operation. And you're saying the factory still doesn't have a name?"
Zhou Mingli glanced at her, poured her a cup of tea, and said, "I thought of a few, but none of them felt quite right."
Jiang Ci took a sip. "What's the name?"
Zhou Mingli mentioned companies like Wanying, Shanhai Vision, and Yueshitong.
Jiang Ci thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't feel right."
Can you help me think of a few?
Jiang Ci hissed, unable to think of anything for a moment.
She glanced at Zhou Mingli, then suddenly had an idea and said, "How about we call you by your old company name?"
Zhou Mingli stared at her intently, then suddenly smiled.
"Can."
So Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci decided on the name of the factory.
Jiang Ming.
The company used to be called Jiangming Technology.
It is now Jiangming Television Factory.
On the day the factory officially opened, Jiang Ci also gave Zhou Mingli her gift.
