“I married down. My family was very rich at the time. I had hardly ever walked on the road since I was a child. I always had a car when I went out. But he was very, very poor. But I just fell in love with him. People said I was love-struck. I was an only child. Some people even said that Old Yang was going to eat up the family’s wealth.”
Mrs. Yang laughed, "I know exactly what I want. So what if I just want pure love? How is that being 'love-struck'? These days, young people call someone 'love-struck' if they're willing to go to great lengths for love. Those who give up family, friends, even their jobs and self-respect for love—that's not 'love-struck.' Please, that's just being stupid!"
My relationship with Lao Yang was a well-thought-out decision. Lao Yang is capable and ambitious; he just lacks opportunity. It's only a matter of time before he succeeds. Even if he doesn't, it doesn't matter, because I have my own support. I'll have a job at that time, and I'll earn a good amount of money. I won't need my family's money; I can support this man myself.
The principal for Lao Yang's investment was naturally provided by me, so what? We even have a written agreement; whatever money he borrows from me, he'll have to earn it all back with interest. He's going to develop his career, and of course, I'm not idle either. I have my own career, and I won't stop my progress for a man.
I didn't interfere with Lao Yang's business at all. If I want a certain kind of life, I'll create it myself; why should I support a man? If Lao Yang's business fails, it just means he lacks luck, or he's not cut out for it. Then Lao Yang can just go to work a regular job and be a stay-at-home dad, while I work hard outside. Anyway, what I wanted in him in the first place was him as a person.
Fortunately, Lao Yang was lucky; his career later surpassed my parents'. As for my parents' business, they originally wanted Lao Yang to take it over, but he refused, and I didn't let him take it either; I took it over myself. So, you see, love is everything to me, but not everything. People say I have good judgment, that I've found a promising prospect. Pshaw, as if I wouldn't be doing well without him.”
Then, as Lao Yang became more and more outstanding, everyone started calling her Mrs. Yang.
Everyone knows she's a manager; the company staff call her Manager Chen, while others call her Mrs. Yang.
Jiang Wanning was the only one who called her Sister Fang when they first met.
This made Chen Fang feel respected.
She didn't care what others thought of her relationship with President Yang.
As Mr. Yang's business grew, he always included her when cooperating with the other party for a long time.
“I like the way you two get along. I can also see that, perhaps to outsiders, you've married above your station to Mr. Fu, but I know you're evenly matched, and Mr. Fu loves you even more than you love him. Go back and rest, let's sign the contract tonight. We'll be working together long-term from now on, Wan Ning, and we'll be dealing with each other more often. Remember to look me up when you're in City A.”
“Okay. Sister Fang, as long as you come to Nancheng, I’ll treat you.”
The two women looked at each other and smiled.
Inside, Fu Chenyuan and President Yang sat drinking tea, glancing occasionally at the two people in the courtyard.
"At 8 p.m., I will bring my legal team to the Fu Group to sign the contract."
Fu Chenyuan shook hands with President Yang: "Thank you, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
"I believe this collaboration will be a win-win situation and will make us a lot of money. After all, men who love their wives are usually lucky."
On the way back, Jiang Wanning fell asleep in the car.
She has always been in the habit of taking a 20-40 minute nap at noon.
If I don't sleep at noon, I'll break down at night.
Previously, because of the constant activity, I was able to manage.
Once she got in the car and it started moving, she couldn't stay awake any longer.
Fu Chenyuan turned her head towards him and adjusted his sitting posture so that Jiang Wanning could sleep more comfortably against his shoulder.
His hand gently flipped through the documents.
He had thoroughly investigated Mr. Yang's information and company.
This collaboration is long-term. In fact, it's not just General Manager Yang who's evaluating him; he's also evaluating them.
This collaboration will last at least five years, and there are too many variables in five years, so character is the most important factor.
If someone has poor character, there's a high chance they'll run away when faced with various difficulties later on.
Now it seems that the cooperation is OK.
He looked down at Jiang Wanning, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
His wife, his lucky star.
Without Jiang Wanning, President Yang most likely wouldn't have cooperated with him.
Over the years, all the business owners who have worked with Mr. Yang are CEOs with families.
When the car stopped, Jiang Wanning woke up groggily and saw that she was at Lanyue Bay.
"Why are you back?"
"You've worked hard today, so just stay home and rest. I'll go to the company tonight to sign the contract with General Manager Yang."
Fu Chenyuan opened the car door and, as usual, carried Jiang Wanning out of the car.
Jiang Wanning wrapped her arms around Fu Chenyuan's neck; she was already used to it.
It's not that she's being coquettish; she's genuinely gotten used to it.
She used to feel a little embarrassed, but now it feels natural, as if it has become an instinct.
Jiang Wanning wrapped her arms around Fu Chenyuan's neck, rested her head on his shoulder, and saw the sunset in the distance.
It was almost six o'clock; the sunlight was no longer so scorching, hanging obliquely on the horizon.
There were servants tending the lawn in the garden. When they saw them, they greeted them respectfully: "Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu."
Fu Chenyuan calmly instructed, "Get out of here once you're done tidying up."
"Yes, sir."
I really didn't watch the time well today.
They usually get off work at five o'clock.
When Jiang Wanning and Fu Chenyuan returned, there would be no one in the villa except for the kitchen maid.
