Lin Moxiao knew that the Jiangning Garment Factory was her grandmother's life's work, and that deep sense of nostalgia was something others could not understand. Most importantly, it also carried a sense of social responsibility.
Once the factory is demolished, many long-time employees who have worked with my grandmother for many years will lose their jobs. This is the last thing my grandmother wants to see. Her strong sense of mission makes it impossible for her to remain unaffected.
Now that he is getting old, he is no longer able to do many things, and he lacks the people he trusts most. An invisible pressure makes Lin Moxiao feel helpless. He knows that without sufficient social insight and hard-won experience, it is impossible to lead a company to flourish.
Lin Moxiao was certain that he was not good at this job and could not accept such a mission, so she said with difficulty;
"Grandma, since the other two families don't approve of your proposal, why not hire a professional manager?"
This was clearly something Ms. Liang didn't want to hear, so she directly refuted it;
"I don't trust anyone. Most of those people are wolves in sheep's clothing, ungrateful wolves. You think I haven't tried? You've given me concessions step by step, and without achieving anything, you're already trying to suck me dry, until you're nothing but a skeleton, and then you won't stop."
After speaking, he still kept his gaze fixed on Lin Moxiao;
"There are still more than three months until the demolition date. In the next few months, you should go to the company to get familiar with the work. You may feel a little aggrieved at work, but try to minimize your flights."
Grandma doesn't need the money to give you. I'll handle the factory construction later; just keep me informed. I don't expect you to be of much use, but I want them to know you're one of my people and won't dare to do anything underhanded behind my back.
This was a blatant attempt to push Lin Moxiao forward. At this moment, Grandma's gaze was sharp and her intimidating presence was undeniable. She spoke again in a firm and powerful tone.
"Don't worry, I will arrange some capable assistants for you. After you join the company, you should also train some of your own people as soon as possible."
I know it's a bit urgent to ask you to do this now, but if we don't act now, it will be too late. My shares will be diluted completely by those two companies, and you'll get nothing.
Lin Moxiao could sense his grandmother's anxiety, and her urgent tone made it impossible for him to refuse, so he pretended to be relaxed and stood up.
"Grandma, don't worry, even if I don't do a good job, your grandson can still support you and Grandpa."
Ms. Liang chuckled twice, then took out Yunshang Garment's brochure and business plan from under her pillow and handed them to Lin Moxiao.
"The company's internal structure is such that the other two shareholders control Yunshang's two major brands, Queen Wedding Dress Customization and Chaoxi, and currently only these two brands are profitable."
Yunshang's main base has been losing money for a long time. Due to its traditional manufacturing process, orders are decreasing and it is about to be squeezed to almost nothing by its competitors.
Something must have gone wrong. Find the cause as soon as possible. Stay at Meiyuan for a while; I'll be discharged in a few days. The house is too big and spacious; Grandma can see you often there too.
"Okay, I'll take it back first, read it carefully again, and then report to the company in a few days."
Lin Moxiao walked out of the ward numbly, carrying a heavy stack of materials in his hands. His grandfather looked at him with sympathy and waved goodbye.
Alone in the car, Lin Moxiao stared blankly at the documents. He rubbed his eyes and glanced at the several boxes of exquisite chocolates on the passenger seat.
He bought this at a duty-free shop after flying to several countries recently. It's Jiang Shuya's favorite sweet treat. He's giving it to her, and maybe she'll like it. He wonders what Jiang Shuya has been busy with lately. Has her husband come back? Does she still have that expectation?
A sudden stinging sensation in her nose and a dull ache in her heart made Lin Moxiao feel as if she had lost a rare and precious treasure, causing her immense pain.
With all sorts of questions in mind, I opened my phone, hesitant to send her a message, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
Frustrated and helpless, I clenched my fists and pounded on the steering wheel.
He really wanted to tell Jiang Shuya in person that he really didn't mean to violate her that day, and he also wanted to tell her that he didn't want to be the successor of Yunshang Garment, nor did he want to take over the 80 million yuan compensation.
Why can't all these worldly assets bring her to his side? What he wants is actually very simple: to do a job he loves and spend his life with the person he loves most, that's all.
As he drove, just as he was about to pass through the bustling city center, he saw a large crowd of people and a lot of traffic not far from the Chating East Street scenic spot, with car horns honking from afar.
Traffic became tense amidst the noisy and chaotic atmosphere. Lin Moxiao sat patiently in the car, following the car in front of him slowly with a blank expression.
Suddenly, a familiar figure blocked his car. As the distance between the two cars slowly increased, Jiang Shuya was in a hurry to cross the road and gestured to the driver to slow down, without paying any attention to who was in the car.
Jiang Shuyun came to help at her stall today. She came over early in the morning in a huff and didn't eat breakfast, so she was hungry until the afternoon.
Unable to bear it any longer, she wanted to eat at the snack stall across the street from the scenic area, but didn't want to walk. Jiang Shuya, as the host, had no choice but to act as her errand boy and serve her for free.
When Lin Moxiao saw Jiang Shuya, he rolled down the car window, looked out, and honked the horn twice. When he realized that she didn't turn around, he quickly found a place to park the car, grabbed the boxes of chocolates, and ran after her.
Jiang Shuya, who was engrossed in queuing to order food, suddenly heard someone call her from behind. She turned around and saw "Lin Moxiao".
Standing there, stunned, her eyes felt like they were being burned, making it easy for her to recall that night. A bad premonition washed over her again. She bit her lip, looking helplessly for an opportunity to leave.
"Are you... alright?" Lin Moxiao took the initiative to break the oppressive atmosphere and asked cautiously.
Jiang Shuya shrugged, trying to suppress her nervousness, and said casually, "Very good, I'm fine."
Lin Moxiao looked at her calmly; "Happy New Year! Can we sit down and talk?"
"Okay, that's exactly what I was thinking." Jiang Shuya felt it was better to be frank with him to avoid awkwardness when they met again in the future.
The two quickly arrived at a spacious and brightly lit coffee shop and sat down. Lin Moxiao ordered two lattes and asked, "Would you like sugar?"
"Yes, I like it sweet." Jiang Shuya replied quickly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Moxiao gently pushed the boxes of chocolates in her hand towards him and whispered;
"This is for you. If you like it, I'll buy you more later."
Jiang Shuya looked at the several beautifully packaged boxes of chocolates, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She neither refused nor showed any joy, only sighed softly.
Thank you for the gift.
Then she met his expectant expression;
I think we shouldn't see each other again.
