Chapter 165 Dongfang Qiwu only wants to pursue his career
Sunlight shines through the large glass windows onto the top floor of the Fengming Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce branch, which is covered with nautical charts and piled with novel goods.
The sea breeze, carrying salty freshness and vitality, blew the loose hair on Dongfang Qiwu's forehead.
She stood by the window, looking at the workers busy like ants at the port dock, the huge cranes towering into the clouds, and the magnificent sight of the sea and sky in the distance. The heart in her chest, which had been silent for many years, was beating strongly with the rhythm of the waves.
She was no longer the queen who sat in Fengyi Palace and ruled the country, nor was she the lady in the deep palace who was about to be honored as the empress dowager.
At this moment, she is just Dongfang Qiwu, a woman standing on the edge of a new world, eager to spread her wings and fly.
"Ning'er,"
She turned around and looked at her sister with burning eyes. She was lying in front of a huge sand table model, enthusiastically planning the expansion of the new port area.
"Yuer just gave birth and is not feeling well, so she can't help much at the moment. Just tell me what I can do!"
I just want to… just feel that my existence is valuable, the value of me, Dongfang Qiwu, as a person, rather than the title of queen or empress dowager."
Her tone was firm, with a strength that came from breaking out of a cocoon.
"Just like you, you were first the brilliant Dongfang Yuning, then the Princess of Fortune, and then the Princess of Prince Yong."
Nangong Yu, who was standing by, was holding a cup of coffee that was said to be from Southeast Asia. Upon hearing this, his hand trembled and he almost spilled the dark liquid on the expensive Persian carpet.
He stared at his wife with wide eyes, and his inner alarm bells were ringing:
[Wu'er...Wu'er, didn't you come here to accompany me to travel, play with my grandchildren, and enjoy life?! Why are you talking about starting a business right away?! This script is wrong! Where's my leisurely retirement life?!]
Nangong Ye sat calmly in a large armchair, flipping through a report on the keel strength of new seagoing vessels. Upon hearing this, he just looked up at his high-spirited young wife and his elder aunt who was also excited, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Well, it’s good that Ning’er has someone to share the burden with.
Dongfang Yuning raised her head from the sand table, her face lit up, and she grabbed her sister's hand:
"Sister! You finally figured it out! That's great!"
She jumped up and down excitedly.
"We at Yanmao are full of opportunities right now! The hospital, Yueji Pavilion, Tiangong Pavilion, Fuxing Theater, as well as the large and small businesses, fleets, and workshops under Fengming Jiuxiao...
They all need someone reliable and insightful to lead the charge! Sister, just go and learn about it! Do whatever you like! With your abilities, you can succeed in anything you do!
[System! Quick! Tailor a 're-employment gift package' for my sister! From hospital director to opera troupe owner, get all the options!]
Dongfang Yuning's mind was racing.
System 118:
[Ding! Got it! Generating the "Ms. Dongfang Qiwu's Yanmao Reemployment Guide"... Option 1: Honorary Dean of Yanmao General Hospital (exercise a motherly and affable personality, comfort patients, and deter mediocre doctors).
Option 2: Chief Image Consultant of Yuejige Yanmao Headquarters (excellent taste, leading fashion trends).
Option 3: Special Supervisor of Tiangong Pavilion (responsible for reviewing whether new inventions comply with public order and good morals, and especially guarding against the leakage of certain "indecent" drawings).
Option 4: Artistic director of Fuxing Theater (control the quality of the plays, eliminate vulgarity, and promote high art?).
Option 5: Special Inspector of Fengming Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce (Specialized in investigating unclear accounts and embezzlement, with royal majesty buff)... Please check! 】
Dongfang Qiwu's eyes lit up when he heard this. Every option seemed to open the door to a new world.
She took a deep breath:
"Okay! Ning'er, then...should I go to the Chamber of Commerce and a few major workshops first? Let's get familiar with them first?"
"No problem!" Dongfang Yuning waved her hand, then rolled her eyes and showed a sly smile.
"But sister, don't rush into work today! Come on, I'll take you on a tour of our Yanmao City! Let's first experience the local atmosphere! And by the way... hehe, let's check on the people's sentiments!"
She emphasized the four words "inspecting the people's sentiments" and glanced at Nangong Ye.
Nangong Ye put down the report and stood up with understanding:
"Okay, I'll lead the way."
Nangong Yu looked at the two sisters who were excited to go out, and then looked at his brother who had a look of "sacrificing his life to accompany a gentleman", and wailed in his heart:
[Shopping...shopping? Wu'er, aren't we here for business (fun)? Shopping is so tiring! Why don't we just take in the view and have a cup of coffee on the top floor of the Chamber of Commerce...]
However, under the expectant gaze of his wife, he swallowed all his words of protest and stood up listlessly:
"...I, cough, I'll go too."
