The construction of the new school went very smoothly, and He Yu also successfully secured two large investments.
After discussing it with He Yu, Xiao Hua went to the capital to build a school, and her career reached a period of explosive growth.
She and He Yu devoted themselves almost entirely to their work.
They started building branch schools all over the country in a frenzy.
In recent years, she and He Yu have been so busy that they barely have time to spare, let alone take care of their family and children.
She didn't even have time to go to Kang'an's first grade registration.
Fortunately, her precious daughter has always been understanding of her mother.
The child is now basically under He Yan's control, and Xiao Hua is constantly traveling, only able to go back to see the child once every two weeks or so.
The person who understands her the least now is Zhou Musheng. Zhou Musheng was the one who supported her in starting her business, and now he is the one who doesn't understand her and wants her to press the pause button.
But Xiaohua is now blinded by ambition and has devoted herself entirely to her career.
They didn't listen to Zhou Musheng at all.
Zhou Musheng often wouldn't see her for one or two months at a time.
Naturally, they were very dissatisfied, and the two of them could even start arguing loudly while talking on the phone.
That day, she had just finished arguing with Zhou Musheng and hung up the phone. Feeling irritable, she lit a cigarette, but didn't smoke it; it just sat there burning.
“If we switched genders and we were two men, would people understand how hard it is for us to start a business? Just because we are two women, we work so hard to start a business, but people not only don’t understand us, they also think that we are not good women, always out in the public eye and neglecting our families.”
“Who can argue with that? My husband supported my business at first, but now he complains that I'm too busy to be home. My in-laws also have a lot of complaints about me.”
He Yu also sighed.
"Do you regret it?"
He Yu retorted, "Why should I regret it? Does that mean men are allowed to achieve great things while we women are supposed to stay at home and revolve around our husbands and children?"
“Actually, we have a lot of money in our accounts now. We are no longer under anyone’s control. Mr. Zhou, if you feel that being together is painful, then break up. We have taken a lot of money from him in the past two years, and we have a clear conscience.”
In recent years, whenever they made money, their first thought was to repay Zhou Musheng tenfold.
Neither she nor He Yu have received any money from the company to this day.
"In the end, I owe him. Without his initial investment, we wouldn't have been able to build such a large business. If he hadn't brought up breaking up, and I had, it would have made me seem heartless and ungrateful."
“But you two don’t break up, and you’re not happy together now. You argue on the phone and when you meet, you throw things and kick the table. You’re not like a couple in love, you’re just a miserable couple.”
He Yu is right. They are a mismatched couple. Xiao Hua is now a little afraid to see Zhou Musen. He always has endless questions about her.
She would rather go back and talk to He Yan than argue with Zhou Musheng. Most of the time, she says that He Yan is a good listener.
He Yan would also talk to her about the children's recent affairs.
"I ran into Zhou Musheng's ex-wife in the capital a while ago."
Xiao Hua thought about her encounter with Zhou Musheng's ex-wife some time ago.
"How do you know his ex-wife? Haven't they been divorced for many years?"
"His ex-wife came to me on her own initiative, wanting to discuss a business deal, but I refused. I did learn that the real reason for their divorce was very different from what Zhou Musheng said. I couldn't be bothered to care who was telling the truth and who was lying, since it was none of my business."
But it's basically similar to our current situation. The only difference is that his ex-wife's career grew bigger, her ambitions increased, and Zhou Musheng couldn't handle it. Thinking about it now, Zhou Musheng is a strange person. He admires capable and thoughtful women, but he doesn't want those women to be too capable or too ambitious, lest they escape his grasp and become uncontrollable.
You can only truly understand a person's personality by spending a lot of time with them.
"He feels that you have flown out of his grasp and are no longer under his control. He feels that you don't need him anymore. He feels unwanted, so he argues with you every time they meet, hoping that you can slow down and not make your career so big."
He Yu analyzed.
That's roughly the idea!
Xiaohua thought He Yu was right.
"So what are you thinking now? Just letting things drag on like this without breaking up?"
He Yu felt that if the two of them only harbored resentment towards each other, what was the point of staying together? It was just a waste of their time and energy.
"Let's take it one step at a time. I want to discuss something with you today."
"What are you planning to do now?"
He Yu had gotten used to it over the years. Whenever Xiao Hua said to him, "I want to discuss something with you," she knew that Xiao Hua probably had some new ideas. Basically, Xiao Hua would come up with the ideas and she would carry them out.
“He Yan told me before that their team was planning to do some independent chip design, but they didn’t have the money. I think we can allocate some of our money to invest in them, just by throwing money at them to support a research and development team. What do you think?”
"Let's forget about developing our own chips. These are high-end technologies that foreign countries are using. We simply can't do it domestically. Even if you pour money into it for 20 years, you might not see any results. It's clearly a business that only loses money and doesn't make any profit."
"You're right. Investing money for 20 years doesn't guarantee results; you'll only lose money and not make any profit."
“You know this is a business that only loses money, so why bother with it? Isn’t it great that we’re just focusing on the school sector right now? We’re already making a fortune.”
Businessmen are all about making a fortune; who would do something that isn't profitable?
"If starting a business is just about making money, then we would already be making a lot of money and wouldn't have to work so hard. The company is now on a positive growth trajectory, and we could just sit back and collect money. But life's pursuits go far beyond that, my dear Sister Yu."
Times change. When her business failed and they were short of money, their immediate thought was to make money, make money, make money.
Now that they have money and are not short of funds, and have a large amount of cash in their accounts, she wants to use this money to do some good things for the country and the people, so that her second chance at life will not have been in vain.
"Let me be honest with you, Sister Yu. I initially wanted to start a school because I knew that in the current environment in China, we could quickly make a lot of money by running a training school. I had already figured out what I wanted to do after I made a lot of money."
"You deserve the most credit for this big company. I won't stop you from doing whatever you want, but I can't understand why you would do a business that only loses money."
He Yu still admires Xiao Hua very much, and she basically does whatever Xiao Hua says and rarely disagrees with her.
"Set up a business now and see the results in 20 years. Invest a portion of your money in it every year, but don't expect to make a profit, because you won't make a profit."
