Zhang Yixiao has been in Nanyou City for over 20 years and has run a company for over a decade. She's seen all kinds of people from all walks of life, which has enabled her to develop the social skills to navigate the business world and adapt to changing circumstances. As for the many unclear and inexplicable love affairs between unmarried men and women, in Nanyou City, a developed city with a high concentration of migrant workers, they are so numerous that they are hardly news at all.
When she discovered the secret that Luo Yingtao was Simingda's first love, she was a little surprised at first, but soon let it go and said that she could understand this behavior because she was also one of the women in this group.
She graduated from university at the age of 22 and came to Nanyou City to work with several classmates. She and her ex-husband Lao Jiang met and fell in love in Nanyou City. They had a son after marriage and later opened a factory together.
After having a son, she concentrated on taking care of the child at home. She thought that after enduring the difficult start-up period, she could enjoy life with her husband. What made her sad was that her ex-husband's wallet became fatter, and his mentality also expanded. He soon kept up with the trend and began to enjoy the so-called life of a rich man. He came home later and later at night, and looked at her with more and more impatience. As a result, his mobile phone and bank card passwords became secret areas. Zhang Yixiao became an outsider in her husband's life, unable to manage his money or control his whereabouts.
The relationship between Zhang Yixiao and her ex-husband was like the prelude to many divorced couples. After several big quarrels, they gradually stopped quarreling and became indifferent to each other. They went from being a loving couple to being the most familiar strangers. If it weren't for their children acting as a bond between them, they would even have forgotten each other's existence.
Indifference accumulated over time turned into disappointment, and then into despair. Their feelings were exhausted in day after day of indifference. The hope in Zhang Yixiao's heart gradually turned into disappointment, and slowly accumulated into despair. They both realized that there was no need to pretend to be happy in such a marriage, so they broke up in an unconventional way. Her husband had found a woman who was younger and more attractive than her.
What was even more unbearable for Zhang Yixiao than the divorce was that her ex-husband obtained custody of the child with his strong financial strength. She had accompanied her husband in his struggle from having nothing to having a net worth of tens of millions, but she only got 500,000 in cash and a house in ten years of marriage. Little did she know that her husband's net worth had already exceeded tens of millions, and he drove her away with a little change like a beggar, and even said that it was for the sake of the child, otherwise he would not give her a penny.
Zhang Yixiao was completely hopeless and wanted to cry but had no tears. She saw through the nature of marriage and the cruelty of reality. In this materialistic society, the hard work of a wife who had been with her for several years was not as good as the few words and willful behavior of a young and beautiful mistress whom she had known for a few months. The so-called feelings were like flowers in the mirror and water, which were fleeting in the face of money. If she wanted to live with dignity and not be crushed by life, she could not rely on anyone except herself.
She knew very well that the reason she was abandoned was because she had no money. She was determined to make more money to regain the dignity that was trampled upon by her ex-husband.
Before moving out of the luxury home she and her husband bought together, she sadly hugged her three-year-old son and comforted him, "You live with Dad for a while. Mom will go out and make a lot of money. When I have money, I will come to pick you up, okay?"
The young son asked naively, "Mom, why don't you live with us? Dad has money, can't you just ask him for money?"
"Baby, Daddy's money is earned by him, and he will leave it to Grandpa. You spend it, Grandma. Mommy has to make money on her own. I'll come to see you when I have time, okay?"
"No, I like dad and mom too, and I don't want you to leave." The young son hugged Zhang Yixiao and cried. How could he understand the root cause of the conflict between adults? He naively thought that mom and dad were a family, dad had a lot of money, and mom still had to go out to earn money?
In order not to leave a shadow on her young son, she could only comfort him: "Mom is an adult, and adults have to work. Isn't it good for you to stay at home with your grandparents? I'll come to see you when I'm not working, okay?"
"Okay, Mom, you have to keep your word. I will miss you every day." Her son's childish voice made Zhang Yixiao feel heartbroken. She really wanted to stay in this house and continue to accompany her son, but her husband's cold eyes and impatient urging forced her to leave, looking back every few steps.
Looking at the luxurious decoration, which had brought her countless laughter and allowed her to enjoy a warm home, and was about to welcome a new hostess, she felt reluctant and could not bear to leave. Love to the extreme is hate, and she hated her husband's ruthlessness and betrayal. Heartbroken, she made up her mind to work hard to make money and bring her son to her side as soon as possible. She had a strong personality and vowed to make money with her own hands. Only in this way could she freely control her life.
She used the 500,000 yuan she got in the divorce as capital to register a financial company. She used her proficient financial knowledge and the connections she had made during her factory operation to undertake export tax rebates, customs accounting and other businesses.
When the company was first established, she had to handle business, account keeping, customs and tax bureau all by herself. She was busy all day long and her income was only enough to maintain basic food and clothing.
At a friend's party, she met He Jiangluo, the owner of a company. He Jiangluo admired Zhang Yixiao's spirit of self-improvement. After adding each other on WeChat, they started to interact more frequently. As they got to know each other better, Zhang Yixiao learned that He Jiangluo was the vice president of a chamber of commerce and had a wide network of contacts. After several dinners and with the help of He Jiangluo, her financial company's business gradually improved. After more than ten years of development, from working alone at home, it has grown to a scale of more than 20 people. She rented a high-end office in a business building in Nanyou City, bought two houses, and regained custody of her son.
