After enduring a half year that was worse than death, Simingda wanted to treat those friends to a meal after he was released from prison. It was to welcome him back, sweep away the bad luck and usher in a new life, and also to thank his friends for helping Wang Mudan when he was in trouble.
Two weeks later, Simingda asked Wang Mudan to book three banquet tables at the hotel to entertain the friends he had helped.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the friends who received the notification from Simingda arrived at the hotel one after another. After a brief greeting, the waiter brought the ordered meals.
Si Mingda spoke first. He glanced at Wang Mudan and his friends, raised his glass, and said emotionally, "Two years ago, my son's hundred-day banquet was the happiest and most blissful day of my life. But today is different. As everyone knows, I've just suffered an unprecedented disaster. I'm utterly humiliated. I'm so ashamed that I simply can't face you all."
"Mr. Driver, don't say that. As long as the person comes out safe and healthy, let the past be the past." Supplier Mr. Li comforted.
"Thank you!" Si Mingda looked very lonely, completely devoid of his former high spirits. "Today is my first time gathering with you all after my resurgence. Before I drink this glass of wine, I want to say a few words from the heart. Everyone knows about the disaster that Mingdan Company suffered some time ago. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all."
Simingda was a little emotional: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm really ashamed."
Wang Mudan quickly stood up, patted his back gently, and said softly, "It's all over. Let's look forward to it."
His friend, Lao Wang, took over the conversation and said, "Mr. Si, life is bound to be full of ups and downs. Think of this experience as a financial loss to avoid disaster. It means your bad luck has dissipated, and the rest will be filled with prosperous times. Fortunately, this loss didn't shake the foundation of Mingdan Company. Take it easy and treat it as an experience in life. As long as you're healthy and okay, that's all that matters."
Several other friends also offered their comfort, "Old Driver, every failure is a lesson learned. You should learn from this incident. When it comes to profit, some people are completely inhumane. Be more careful when interacting with others in the future. Not everyone is trustworthy. You can only judge a person by their appearance, not their heart."
"Yes, Mr. Si, you should also replace the existing financial company and hire an export accountant. Let Mr. Wang personally manage the export agency accounts. If any problems are found in the accounts, you can stop the losses in time."
"Yes, I think so too. I've already asked my wife to handle it. Honestly, it's thanks to her that she took responsibility for this incident. It's truly remarkable that a woman could single-handedly handle the situation and maintain the normal operation of Mingdan Company. I'm very grateful to my wife."
The friends present all nodded approvingly, gave Wang Mudan a thumbs-up, and complimented her, "Boss Wang's character and courage are truly admirable. A woman can not only hold her own in the business world, but also take such good care of the children. Boss Si, you are truly blessed. You must cherish such a wonderful wife."
Si Mingda was both moved and remorseful by his friends' praise for Wang Mudan. He struggled to calm himself, stood up again, and said emotionally, "Yes, this setback has given me ample time to reflect deeply on my past actions. I was indeed too careless in the past and shouldn't have ignored my wife's feelings. Today, I solemnly apologize to my wife in front of everyone."
After Si Mingda finished speaking, he turned to Wang Mudan and said with a face full of guilt, "We have been in love since our sophomore year, and it has been seventeen years now. I owe you too much over these years, and I have caused you so much trouble and fear. Today, in front of so many friends, I swear to you that I will change my ways. You fought for me in the first half of my life, and I will protect you in the second half and create a warm and loving home for you and your children. Let the past experience be a nightmare that will be blown away by the wind. I will always be the warmest harbor for you and your children."
"Okay." Following Si Mingda's sincere and frank confession, his friends all applauded in support, which also deeply touched Wang Mudan's heart.
Even though she had too much resentment towards Simingda, it all vanished at this moment. Influenced by Simingda, she was also a little emotional. The grievances and pain that had been suppressed for a long time were finally vented. She choked up and said, "Simingda, everything I did for you before was voluntary, because I love you. You will always be my powerful prince. Although we have experienced too many ups and downs, my love for you will never change. Let the past be the past, because it is impossible to turn back. We must live the present well and plan for future development. Let us put aside our prejudices and live a good life. The three children cannot leave us. We will always be a family."
Wang Mudan's unwavering confession of true love moved Si Mingda beyond words. He hugged Wang Mudan and said in a trembling voice, "Meeting you in this life is the result of the good deeds I accumulated in my previous life. How could I, Si Mingda, be so virtuous and kind as to marry a wife as virtuous as you? I swear that I will change my ways and make up for all the love I lost for you. Let's go through wind and rain together."
"Okay! Mr. Si, listen to what he says and watch what he does. We will monitor your actual actions towards Mr. Wang from now on."
Simingda's friends were deeply moved by the touching scene of the couple reconciling, and applauded enthusiastically to congratulate them.
On this special occasion, everyone believed that what Si Mingda said to Wang Mudan were from the bottom of his heart, and they also believed that he would sincerely change his ways. In this extremely materialistic society, it is hard to find a wife like Wang Mudan who can both do business and manage the household.
安抚好王牡丹的情绪后，司明达转向他的朋友们，说道：“这半年经历的灾难让我看清了很多人和事，也梳理了身边谁是真朋友，谁是假朋友，落难时刻的雪中送炭可以让人感恩一生，高光时刻的锦上添花只会让人反感，今天在坐的各位都是我最真实的朋友，在这生不如死的大半年里，谢谢你们对明丹公司的不离不弃，也谢谢你们对王牡丹和孩子们的照顾，你们的真情实意我终生难忘，在此我敬大家一杯，祝大家身体健康，事业红火，万事如意，家庭幸福，也祝我们的友情万古长青。”
