She entered marriage full of hope, but unexpectedly encountered a complete mess.
“You’re still young, you’ll meet even better men in the future,” Zhou Guiying reassured her.
Zhou Xiaonian chimed in from the side: "Yeah, yeah, just like my mom. After her divorce, she defied the odds and met a husband who is a million times better than my own father!"
Chen Yingzi nodded.
She has no plans to remarry for the time being. She only wants to establish herself in the capital as soon as possible with Zhou Guiying's help, and spend the rest of her life raising her daughter and taking good care of her parents.
Zhou Guiying's agreement to let Zhou Xiaonian pick up Chen Yingzi and her family of four to come to the capital was naturally because she had made arrangements beforehand.
For example, where you live.
Zhou Guiying bought a small courtyard house near the Gu family mansion, next to Changqing Elementary School. The day after Chen Yingzi arrived, she went to change the owner of the house to Chen Yingzi.
When Chen Yingzi received the property deed with her name on it, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Auntie, you are my greatest benefactor. Without you, my life might have ended when I was only 17." Chen Yingzi's tears flowed freely. "Auntie, I have no way to repay your kindness. I can only treat you as my own mother!"
Chen Yingzi's parents, Zhang Fenglian and her husband, also cried.
They were extremely bewildered to leave their hometown at nearly sixty years old, but Zhou Guiying took care of them, and now they can stand tall with their backs straight!
Zhang Fenglian knelt down with a thud: "Guiying, I will repay you with my life, even if it means serving you like a cow or a horse!"
"What are you doing, working like a beast of burden? Just being a happy old lady is the best way to repay me!"
With the help of Zhou Guiying and the Gu and Zhou families, Chen Yingzi quickly settled down. After helping her daughter transfer to Changqing Primary School, Chen Yingzi began to focus on her career.
Xinghui Company has an office in the capital, but in recent years its focus has been on the Pearl River Delta. After Chen Yingzi went to the capital, Boss Zhang simply set up a branch in the capital. The branch was fully managed by Chen Yingzi, and the profit sharing and bonus ratio were increased by two percentage points.
Boss Zhang was kind and generous, and Chen Yingzi was naturally just as kind. At the same time, she didn't want Gao Xin to look down on her or her parents to worry, so she put in her best effort and devoted almost all her energy to her work.
In just six months, Xinghui Decoration's capital city branch has made a name for itself in the capital, and she has finally established a firm foothold in the city.
At this time, Zhou Xiaonian was preparing for the college entrance examination.
The Gu family found her a teacher from Beicheng University to be her tutor. She was already exceptionally talented, and with the guidance of a renowned teacher, she made progress almost every day. By the time of the second mock exam, she had scored full marks in every subject except Chinese.
She continued to work on her Chinese language skills, and by the time of the third mock exam, she was only one point away from a perfect score.
Zhou Xiaonian was not satisfied, but she lost points on her essay. Essays are too subjective, and each examiner has different preferences, so it is very, very difficult to get full marks.
Zhou Guiying then took Zhang Fenglian to worship the gods, and when they returned, she gave Zhou Xiaonian a triangular talisman.
"With this triangle symbol, you're sure to meet an examiner who truly understands you, and you're sure to get the top score in the country!"
"Uh-huh!"
The day of the college entrance examination arrived quickly. Wearing the triangular talisman that Zhou Guiying had obtained for her, Zhou Xiaonian entered the examination hall with full confidence, under the watchful eyes of her parents, the Gu family, and the Zhou family.
