Looking out the back window, Jiang Ning and Lin Chen saw a group of people surrounding something, waving their fists.
"I wonder what happened!" Jiang Ning sighed.
She had long forgotten who Gao Xiaolan was.
Back then, when Gao Xiaolan was causing trouble, she had seen her a few times. She had an ordinary face and nothing special about her, so she forgot about her after a while.
Just as Lin Chen was telling her about Gao Xiaolan's current situation, the car suddenly jolted.
The driver quickly apologized to them.
"Excuse me, a ragged beggar suddenly appeared on the roadside just now, so I hid for a moment."
Jiang Ning was surprised. Logically speaking, everyone in the village should have enough money to spend, so how could there be beggars?
Lin Chen looked over, scanning the beggar's dirty face, trying hard to make out who he was, and finally recognized him.
"It's a bolt!" he exclaimed.
He had also heard about Shuanzi's situation these past few days.
Since Ma Huijuan ran away with her son, Shuanzi has been searching for her everywhere.
Of course, he didn't have much money, so the furthest he could go was the train station.
After several months, he returned home having failed to find the person.
He remembered that Ma Huijuan's home was in Beijing, so he planned to ask his mother for money to go to Beijing.
He had never traveled far from home, so his mother was worried about letting him go. She held onto her money tightly and wouldn't let him go looking for it.
"Mom, she took your grandson away. Don't you want to find him and bring him back?"
Shuanzi couldn't bear to part with that child.
But his mother was stubborn, insisting that he was possessed by a demon, treating other people's children as her own, and even invited a Taoist priest to perform an exorcism for him.
After all this commotion, everyone knew that Shuanzi had locked someone up in the basement for three years and even fathered a son with them.
Some people say that Ma Huijuan will definitely call the police and arrest him for what he did.
Some people say that after Ma Huijuan ran away, she must have found a man to marry, and her son calls someone else "Dad".
Under this mental pressure, his mind gradually became clouded.
At first, things were alright. His mother was still alive, so he had someone to take care of him. He had food to eat when he was hungry and clothes to wear when he was cold.
A few years later, after his mother died, he went completely insane and became a beggar who begged for food everywhere.
Sometimes he wanders around the village, and sometimes he disappears without a trace.
They hadn't seen Shuanzi for a long time, but unexpectedly, he reappeared in the village just as Jiang Ning and the others were about to leave.
Jiang Ning sighed. If he hadn't gone mad by now, he probably would have gone mad too if he heard that Ma Huijuan had been shot in the head and that his son had jumped off a cliff to his death.
As time goes by, every gift that Heaven bestows upon life comes with a price.
After returning to the capital, Jiang Ning was invited by the government to participate in an important economic forum.
This economic forum was jointly organized by more than a dozen countries, and the first one was held in China.
Those who can participate in the forum are all the most famous entrepreneurs.
Jiang Ning will not only participate, but will also deliver a speech on behalf of Chinese entrepreneurs.
She used this speech as an opportunity to promote the establishment of the United Nations Children's Fund in various countries, which provides assistance to children from impoverished families in ways that are not limited to monetary support, so that children can grow up in good physical and mental health.
Because of her actions, she became a popular candidate for interviews with economic figures.
All the TV stations were vying to schedule interviews with her.
Wu Jing, being in a convenient position, personally went to the courtyard house and brought the program script to discuss making the program.
"Sister-in-law, you absolutely must help me!"
Wu Jing clung to her arm and acted coquettishly.
Jiang Ning was younger than Yang Xiu, so naturally she became his younger sister.
She really couldn't do anything with her sister-in-law, so she had no choice but to agree to take a look at her plan first.
Wu Jing really pulled out all the stops this time, creating a program plan that was both novel and insightful. She believed that as long as Jiang Ning was the first guest, the program would definitely be a hit.
With high viewership ratings, she's practically guaranteed a spot as the deputy director of the station.
"Sister-in-law, you have quite the ambition! You even came up with this unconventional approach. I think it's a real shame you're doing talk shows. There are so many variety shows now; I think you could definitely do a great job planning one."
Jiang Ning praised him sincerely.
Wu Jing knew where her strengths lay, and smiled:
"I think it's better for me to stick to the economy. After all, there are several people in our family who have made their businesses successful. I'm just benefiting from your success."
Jiang Ning felt that she was being too modest. After all, making an economics program requires strong professional knowledge and judgment about the future economy.
To support her work, Jiang Ning agreed to do an interview with her.
On the day of the recording, Jiang Ning wore a well-fitting dress that perfectly accentuated her figure.
She wore light makeup, which made her look radiant, and her hair was styled in an updo, giving her a dignified and elegant appearance.
The camera was turned on, and Jiang Ning and Wu Jing walked through a ceramics factory area. The two chatted as they walked, which was completely different from the previous interview program, which was a question-and-answer format in a studio. Instead, they adopted a more casual interview style.
Jiang Ning defined the ceramics factory as her first step.
"Many people think I started out in the clothing business, but actually, what made me money was exporting porcelain."
This ceramics factory has undergone years of renovation and is now a fully automated facility. The porcelain produced here is exported all over the world, generating an annual output value of five billion yuan.
Jiang Ning introduced the place as she walked.
Wu Jing asked at the opportune moment, "How many workers are there here? How much profit do they make in a year?"
Jiang Ning: "There are more than 200 workers here now, most of whom are former employees. Although we have put them into modern production lines, we have not laid them off. Instead, we have them do some light work until they retire."
Currently, all profits are used to improve production lines and employee pensions, with the group also providing subsidies of several million yuan annually.
Many established factories reduce costs and increase efficiency by laying off employees, but Jiang Ning did not do that. Instead, she ensured high welfare and high wages for them.
This is probably what it means for large enterprises to take responsibility.
After walking around the factory, many veteran employees came to greet Jiang Ning, and the two were as close as family.
At noon, they went to the cafeteria for lunch.
The camera followed them the whole time, showing them taking stainless steel trays to get their own food.
The food is all self-service; you can take whatever you want to eat.
The variety of food at the buffet is similar to that of buffets at restaurants that cost 68 yuan per person, but the price is 5 yuan per meal.
However, the employees who come here to eat have all developed the good habit of taking only what they can eat and never being extravagant or wasteful.
Wu Jing looked at the various delicacies with a sense of amazement.
"I thought the food at our TV station was pretty good, but compared to this, it's still a bit lacking."
While the two were eating, the camera was finally turned off, and the cameraman went to get his own food.
Just then, Jiang Ning's phone rang; it was the village chief calling.
“There was an accident at the place where we planned to build the amusement park. Gao Xiaolong, the village idiot, drowned there.”
