Chapter 256 A True Old Maid



Two weeks later, Gu Xiaohong and Chen Xiu's mother-in-law recovered and were discharged from the hospital.

Chen Xiu is staying in the hospital, waiting for the moment of death to donate her organs.

After Gu Xiaohong regained her sight, she returned to the plastic surgery hospital to continue her treatment. She is currently able to take care of herself. Li Yuzhu asked Su Guifang to stay at the hospital to take care of Chen Xiu and accompany her on her final journey.

She used to have a pair of beautiful eyes, but now she is blind.

That morning, Li Yuzhu picked her up from the hospital and drove her to the real estate bureau.

Yesterday, Li Yuzhu bought a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment at the sales office, and she drove Chen Xiu to the real estate bureau.

Chen Xiu presented her marriage certificate with her deceased husband, her household registration booklet, her ID card, and her son's birth certificate to apply for a property certificate for her son.

Li Yuzhu handed all the purchase contracts to the staff, and quickly processed the property certificate for Chen Xiu's son.

Holding the property certificate, Chen Xiu walked out of the real estate bureau with Li Yuzhu's help.

Li Yuzhu took a bank card out of her bag and handed it to Chen Xiu, saying, "There is 100,000 yuan in this card, please take it."

At this moment, Chen Xiu felt neither the joy of receiving the property certificate nor the happiness of receiving 100,000 yuan. She knew in her heart that even if she sold all her organs, she wouldn't get that much money.

These were all gifts from the family that Li Yuzhu had taken care of. She touched the property certificate and bank card with both hands and cried.

She stopped crying after being persuaded by Li Yuzhu, and knelt on the ground, saying, "Thank you for saving my family, otherwise I wouldn't be able to close my eyes in peace after I die."

Li Yuzhu pulled her up from the ground and said, "Don't be like this. It's already amazing that you can donate all your organs to patients. You deserve my help."

A week later, Chen Xiu finally passed away.

After her death, she donated all her organs to patients. After the surgery, her body was just an empty shell, but many incisions were left on her body. Each incision had a vital organ that had accompanied her throughout her life removed. Her organs extended the lives of several patients. She left so cleanly and gracefully.

The mother-in-law sent his body back to her hometown, where it was buried three days later.

Although she is dead, her trachea is still alive, serving every recovering patient. Her selfless organ donation is still worthwhile.

Gu Xiaohong's face has fully recovered and she looks very beautiful; you can't tell at all that she had plastic surgery.

Gu Yurou picked her up and took Su Guifang back to their hometown.

Li Yuzhu arranged for her to work as a cleaner at the company, which, although the salary was not high, was enough for her to support herself.

Li Yuzhu enrolled Gu Xiaohong in an adult night school so that she could learn some culture at night.

The machinery factory produced its first batch of fully automated production lines for instant noodles and seasonings.

Gu Yuqiu dismantled all the previous production lines of the food factory and introduced and installed these two sets of fully automated equipment. She could be said to have taken advantage of Su Village's success.

Chunmei sent her a technician, and Li Yuqiu will arrange for the technician to go and provide guidance when the factory in Sucun opens.

In the early summer of the following year, the Su Village Instant Noodle Factory opened, and the village finally had its first large-scale enterprise.

Zhu Xiaofei gave birth to a son, and Li Yuzhu's mother finally held her grandson.

Time quickly came to May 6, 1996. The new residential area in the old city was being developed, and we were notified to come and pick up the keys today.

Last year, Dong Qing registered the properties there as property certificates for Zhu Xiaofei, Su Guifang, and Fang Lin.

The three of them drove to the community property management office and got their house keys.

The three lower floors of the apartment building were all compensation housing. Last winter, Qing pulled some strings and all three families were allocated the third floor. All three women now have their own homes in this city.

Su Guifang is not short of money for house renovation now. The three families found a decoration company to renovate the house, including labor and materials, and the house will be handed over in two months.

The shopping mall owned by Dongqing Investment Suwei Company opened last winter and business is booming.

Li Yuzhu's family hotel opened this spring, with Li Yufei serving as the hotel's general manager and his wife Zhu Xiaofei as the deputy general manager.

Li Yuqiu and Su Wei both have assets exceeding 200 million yuan, and both women have a place in the business world.

Time flies, and in the early summer of 1998, Yusheng Company's total output value had reached 2.3 billion RMB.

Now that piece of land in Pengcheng has long been developed into the city center, and many businesses have sought financing from Yusheng Company. However, Dongqing has never accepted any financing, and there are still only two shareholders.

Su Wei is no longer the timid woman she once was. She now owns her own company, hotels, and shopping malls, and has a net worth of over 200 million yuan. She is now a well-known and powerful woman in the city, and her business is second only to Li Yuqiu's.

Li Yuqiu's company hasn't changed much; it's still the same size company. However, she manages the entire company very well. Not to mention her shares in Yusheng Company, her own company alone has assets exceeding 200 million yuan.

Gu Yurou is 38 years old this year and is still single, making her a true "leftover woman".

That morning, Dong Qing held a meeting of senior management. The only attendees were Vice Chairman Li Yuzhu, Dong Damei, Dong Ermei, Dong Sanmei, and the company's Vice General Manager Gu Yurou. Of course, the Chairman's secretary Fang Lin was also present, as were the two shareholders.

Dong Qing announced that the land in Pengcheng would be developed immediately. After a preliminary vote by show of hands, the matter was settled.

Dong Qing concluded, "You are all key members of the company's senior management. I am now fulfilling a promise I made eight years ago. From today onwards, each of you five will own one percent of the company's shares. Chu Ran, Yu Qiu, do you two have any objections to this decision?"

Li Churan and Li Yuqiu agreed, and the matter was settled. From then on, the company had nine shareholders.

One percent of Yusheng Company's shares is no small amount; if the five of them weren't excited at this moment, they wouldn't believe it themselves.

After the meeting, Dong Qing and Gu Yurou went into the deputy general manager's office. They sat down on the sofa, and Dong Qing asked, "Yurou, who are the people in your family now?"

Dong Qing would call Gu Yurou by her name in private.

“There are not many people in my family. My father passed away many years ago, my mother has been frail and sickly for many years, my younger brother died in a car accident four years ago, and my sister-in-law remarried. I have a six-year-old nephew and a thirty-seven-year-old unmarried sister.”

As Gu Yurou recounted her unfortunate family history, tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.

Dongqing said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up your painful family matters."

Gu Yurou said, "It's okay. My family situation is what it is. It keeps swirling in my mind like a shadow every day. You should understand now why I quit my job at the bank and came to your company. It was all for my broken family."

Dongqing asked, "Are you sisters in your thirties and have boyfriends?"

Gu Yurou said, "No, my mother is worried sick about the marriages of my sister and me."

Gu Yurou is 39 years old this year, and her younger sister is 37 years old. The two sisters have long been considered old maids.
