Chapter 115 The 1980s: The Male and Female Protagonists' Deaths (41)
In addition, he won first prize in the National Mathematics League and I heard that he has been admitted to the top university in advance.
In the eyes of most students in the school, Jin Shu was already a legendary figure.
Everyone assumed she was number one and that she was a genius. So when news broke that Jin Shu's company had opened a branch overseas, people only gasped briefly before calming down and finding it perfectly reasonable.
The huge gap made Jin Yin anxious and uneasy.
Her shop did well, thanks to the Chu family's support and her expertise in finding inspiration from international haute couture, which made her designs very popular.
But that's not enough.
Jin Yin also wants to establish her own company.
Chu Dong stopped him without hesitation.
"You actually took it seriously, thinking you could just play around with it? Start a company? Are you saying our Chu family's existing businesses can't accommodate someone as important as you?"
Jin Yin, of course, did not listen to him.
In her view, Chu Dong's words were simply an attempt to continue to exploit and enslave her, whom he had previously provided free labor.
After all, many of the new products under the Chu family were created by her, and they sold well. Now that she wants to start her own business, the Chu family is naturally panicked.
This is exactly what Jin Yin wanted to see.
What is the Chu family? With the development of the times, Chu family's ready-made clothing has long been out of fashion and has gone from being a luxury item to a slow-selling product that can be seen everywhere now.
Outdated styles, ineffective marketing, and backward management systems have led to the decline of the Chu family business as a large number of foreign clothing brands have entered the market.
This can be seen from the changes in the Chu family's house.
They moved from a villa to a Western-style building, cut the number of servants and nannies in half, and only kept one car, exclusively for Mr. Chu's use.
In the nick of time, the Chu family had no choice but to try anything, so they made good use of Jin Yin's designs.
The slightly improved sales boosted Jin Yin's status in the Chu family, but not long after the sales improved, Jin Yin started anew and secretly registered a company.
When Chu Dong found out, he flew into a rage and stormed into the Zhao family home. In front of Liao Lin and Zhao Huaijing, he started fighting with Jin Yin.
Now that she had a strong sense of security, Jin Yin would no longer silently endure it.
Chu Dong's face was covered in bloody scratches, and he left with some harsh words.
"I'll kill you sooner or later! Just you wait!"
Liao Lin cried and wanted to call the police, but Jin Yin stopped her.
"No need to call the police. I have a share in the Chu family. Don't interfere in my business with Chu Dong until you get my share."
"Aren't you just waiting for him to hit you again?"
"So what if he hit me? He still gave me money after hitting me, what about you?!"
"I think you've gone mad with demonic possession!"
Liao Lin was completely devastated.
"From now on, your father and I will not care whether you live or die!"
"Heh, then don't expect me to take care of you anymore."
Perfect timing! That's exactly what I was waiting for Liao Lin to say. Getting rid of two useless burdens will save me money on retirement expenses in the future.
Anyway, she's already rented a place outside, and once the company makes money, she'll buy herself a bigger house.
At the Linjiang City Commercial Expo, all enterprises in the city were invited to participate.
Jin Yin also received an invitation.
That evening, she dressed up and arrived at the expo. After taking her seat, she suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away.
It was Lu Xu. He was sitting at the head of the table at the front, chatting and laughing with a foreigner next to him.
How did he end up here?
Did Jin Shu bring this?
What about Jin Shu?
Jin Yin searched around but couldn't find Jin Shu.
Just as she was wondering what was going on, she heard a familiar laugh. She turned around abruptly and saw a woman in a long black dress come into view.
The woman held a glass of red wine in her hand, chatting and laughing with a boss across from her. Her black hair was piled high, revealing a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Perhaps because Jin Yin's gaze was too intense, Zhou Yanzhu, who was chatting with someone, noticed and turned around. The moment she saw Jin Yin's face, she almost had her cup grabbed.
The Zhou Yanzhu in front of her was confident, generous, young, and exquisite, exuding an aura of wealth. Her previously sallow and tired face was now smooth and delicate, as if she had regained her youth. If Jin Yin hadn't been so familiar with Zhou Yanzhu, she might have even doubted that she had mistaken her for someone else.
"You...how could you..."
Zhou Yanzhu walked over, holding a cup, her smile unchanged.
"How come you've learned to drink alcohol? And you came alone?"
"Um...you, who did you come with?"
"Oh, Shushu went abroad on a business trip, so I came to the meeting in her place. I had no choice; everyone in my family is too busy, and I'm the only one with nothing to do all day, so I shamelessly came over."
I'm idle all day long...
Zhou Yanzhu's smile never faded as she spoke; that composure and confidence emanating from her very being was undoubtedly related to her superior living conditions and substantial family wealth.
Now, she was a far cry from the woman she once was. Looking at her, Jin Yin thought of Liao Lin's now middle-aged hair and haggard face, and suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.
She had so much to say, but now, facing Zhou Yanzhu, she couldn't say a word.
"What's wrong? Do you think I've changed too much and you don't recognize me?"
Jin Yin stiffened her neck and slowly nodded.
"Hahaha... Many people say that. Last year, Shushu took me abroad to broaden my horizons. The beauty hospitals abroad are amazing. I did skin management for half a year and the changes were so big!"
Hahahaha, I already said I wouldn't do it, but Jin Shu just bought the beauty salon and gave it to me to be the boss. How could I possibly manage all this? I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and go for it.
Hahaha, Yinyin, when are you going to take your mom on a trip abroad and get a beauty treatment at my shop?
Jin Yin stood there, stunned. Zhou Yanzhu was talking all the time, but she couldn't hear anything. All she could hear was bursts of cheerful laughter, which gradually became grating, like knives cutting into her ears.
"Mom, when you see me, can you please not talk about other people?"
Zhou Yanzhu looked at her, then smiled helplessly.
"Then who should I talk about? If I don't talk about my daughter, who else can I talk about?"
Jin Yin lowered her head, subconsciously biting her lip, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Zhou Yanzhu used to dote on her the most, but now when she talks to her, it's like she's a guest. Her words are distant, as if there's an invisible wall between them. Inside the wall, Zhou Yanzhu is high and mighty, while outside, she's like a pitiful beggar.
"Indeed, rich girls are definitely better than poor girls like me. Ms. Zhou Yanzhu, my mother is not the kind of person who worships foreign things. If foreign countries are so good, you should stay abroad and come back to our country less often."
