After that, the Hu family was exposed to even more scandals. The Hu family's black market supply chain, which Yan Nian had previously investigated, was completely unearthed following Hu Lou's lead.
In less than a month, half of the Hu family was imprisoned, and the rest could no longer survive in China, so they fled abroad and went into hiding.
The once-glorious Hu family has fallen from grace, becoming the talk of the town for the past month.
Meng Wan and Yan Nian further enhanced their reputation and influence through this incident.
Those who had been up to no good kept their tails between their legs, fearing they would end up like Hu Shi; while many others hoped to curry favor with the two and get a share of the spoils.
Those who reach the top of the industry are all intelligent people. Rather than creating a powerful enemy for themselves, achieving a mutually beneficial and win-win situation is the most reassuring.
The downfall of the Hu family and the rise of their respective companies undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for others. Everyone had their own agenda, yet none of them took any action.
In the blink of an eye, my four years of university life have come to an end.
Meng Wan successfully earned two degrees, but she did not intend to stop there. Instead, she secured a place in the postgraduate program and prepared to pursue further studies.
Guo Qingqing plans to return to her hometown and become an ordinary teacher. She doesn't have any particularly lofty ambitions; she just wants to live an ordinary life and stay by her parents' side to fulfill her filial duties.
Lin Mi switched majors in her sophomore year and is now studying new media, a subject she enjoys. Leveraging her academic background and personal strengths, she became a beauty blogger online, gaining a considerable following. Coincidentally, she caught the eye of an agent under Meng Wan's management, a fact that even Meng Wan herself only learned about later.
However, Lin Mi did not agree, even though she knew it was Meng Wan's company.
According to her, every worker resents their boss equally, so it's better if we remain friends.
Meng Wan fully respects her decision and hopes that when she opens her own company in the future, she will first seek to collaborate with the artists under her company.
As for Xu Jiaojiao, she did have plans to pursue further education, but she ultimately had to face reality. Her family's circumstances could not support her to take the postgraduate entrance exam, even though she never took a penny from her family during her university years. Instead, she used her internship salary to give to her family, which allowed her to smoothly get through those four years of university.
After graduation, she did not choose to stay at Shengkuang, but instead followed Bai Liling. This was the result of careful consideration by the three of them.
After the incident with Xiao Zhu, Bai Liling stopped training new people and did almost all the work herself, for fear of being betrayed like last time.
Although Meng Wan was also looking for a suitable second-in-command, it was not easy to find someone experienced and trustworthy. After looking around, she focused her attention on Xu Jiaojiao, but did not immediately consult with her. Instead, she silently observed her changes.
With Meng Wan's guidance and her internship experience at Sheng Kuang, Xu Jiaojiao is no longer the shy and self-conscious little girl who just came from the countryside.
She became increasingly confident, meticulous in her work, and rarely made mistakes. Even if she inevitably made a mistake, she would never repeat it, much like Tian Wei, who had just entered the workforce at that time.
When the time was right, Meng Wan acted swiftly. After negotiations among the three parties, the matter concluded with Xu Jiaojiao's agreement.
Bai Liling trusted Meng Wan's judgment and took great care in cultivating Xu Jiaojiao. Xu Jiaojiao did not disappoint her expectations and Meng Wan's trust. She did not take advantage of her relationship with Meng Wan to act recklessly, but became more and more humble. As a result, her attitude towards Meng Wan in the company was different, and she maintained a good boundary.
Everyone follows their own plans and moves towards their own life. Youth seems to last only a few years, but they never grow old.
With everything settled, Meng Wan gracefully disappeared from the public eye, handing the company over to her trusted second-in-commands. She then planned to do something different, something she had never experienced before in her life.
But before that, there are more important things to do.
"Let's go." Yan Nian was already waiting downstairs at the dormitory.
Meng Wan threw herself into his arms, and Yan Nian took the opportunity to kiss her forehead. The two hugged and cuddled for a while before getting into the car and heading to their destination.
"Shall we go to W·P to change into our dress first, and then go straight to the Lan family's house?" Meng Wan fastened her seatbelt.
"Yes, Su Ping is making final adjustments to your dress. Cui Qingling already tried on the dress this morning, but she has to go to the studio to pick up the jewelry for you. The makeup team has arrived at the Lan family home and is doing a final makeup test for Lan Xing. I'll take you there first. After you've finished your makeup test and changed your dress, take a break. According to Ji Sheng, we'll be leaving the Ji family home around 5 a.m.."
"Then you won't get any rest?" Of course, she felt sorry for her boyfriend. But as much as she felt sorry for him, her best friend's wedding meant that her boyfriend had to make a sacrifice.
Clearly, Yan Nian thought the same way.
"What can I do when I run into a jerk of a friend? Honey, could you please be a little more lenient with me then?"
Yan Nian's tone was somewhat ingratiating.
"No, dear boyfriend."
Meng Wan replied in the same tone.
Yan Nian pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved. Meng Wan noticed this, chuckled, and kissed the back of Yan Nian's hand.
Time was tight, but everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, since most things could be solved with money.
This situation is, of course, thanks to the impatient Ms. Lanxing.
The graduation ceremony at Blue Star School is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but in order to receive both the graduation certificate and the marriage certificate at the same time, they insisted on moving the wedding forward by a month.
Although Ji Sheng was helpless, he could only indulge her. The originally planned French-style manor had to be canceled, but fortunately it was his own property, so it didn't matter much. It was just tough on his resentful friends Yan Nian and Meng Wan, who had to arrange a new venue overnight.
But Lanxing wasn't being unreasonable. Her idea was simple: just get the marriage certificate first. Whether or not to have a wedding didn't matter, since her partner wouldn't be anyone else anyway, and they could just do it later.
Of course, this idea was seriously rejected by Ji Sheng.
Although his plans were disrupted, Ji Sheng did not intend to simply deal with it half-heartedly.
To ensure everything went smoothly and so that Lan Xing wouldn't regret it later, Ji Sheng designed a new wedding scene plan overnight and supervised the workers to implement it every day. Yan Nian and the others were also pulled in to do the hard labor.
Friends, though they complain, all of them work harder than anyone else when it comes to tasks.
For a whole week, everyone was busy preparing for Lan Xing and Ji Sheng's wedding ceremony. Only Miss Lan Xing was foolishly thinking about the captions for her WeChat Moments after being coaxed by Meng Wan and Cui Qingling.
"Are you envious?" Yan Nian asked.
“We have our own pace.” Meng Wan smiled, but there was no envy in her eyes.
Yan Nian didn't speak, but gently patted her head. He knew Meng Wan still had her own path to walk, so he wouldn't rush to use an identity to trap her.
There's plenty of time ahead, and they'll never be apart.
This is a fact that does not need to be verified.
