Li Zhaodi felt as if a huge stone was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
“Go see Asheng after the New Year.” She suddenly grabbed her daughter’s hand.
Wei Caixia looked at her suspiciously and nodded.
Her mother urged her to visit him in prison before the Lunar New Year, but her uncle was too busy to come.
“I have to go. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen.” Li Zhaodi’s hands trembled.
Wei Er snorted coldly, "Superstition... Don't bring bad luck during the New Year."
He was already feeling very upset; this year's holiday was completely ruined.
He always felt that he was going to have a really bad New Year if he didn't have a good one.
For the next few days, the villagers avoided the Li family's house, afraid of getting tainted by bad luck.
Grandma Lin didn't go to offer incense, but she asked an old woman from the same village to deliver the gift money on her behalf.
According to the village custom, older people do not send off younger people.
She didn't avoid the Li family; she went to the vegetable garden the same way she always had.
Time flies, and the year has passed by in a blur.
A group of people gathered under the big banyan tree in the village, chatting casually.
Hairun Electrical Appliances City has reopened.
While Lin Ziyan was reading the newspaper in the electronics store office, she happened to see a report about Li Yazhen's wedding.
She shook the newspaper, read its contents, and her lips twitched slightly.
As before, the eldest princess of the S Group married an ordinary worker who was fifteen years her senior.
As compensation, the group entrusted her with the management of a slightly larger semiconductor company.
Her brother was not allowed to interfere in the operation of the semiconductor company.
At the same time, her brother became the company's president, and her father retired.
S Electric Appliances was handed over to her brother for management, which was practically paving the way for him to inherit the group.
From that day on, Li Yazhen became completely disappointed in her father.
"Tsk...S Group doesn't need to lower itself to marry off its daughter, does it?"
"Isn't their group incredibly wealthy and powerful in Country A?" Fang Jie remarked after reading the news.
"This man looks to be about the same age as her father, but probably more than fifteen years older."
She clicked her tongue a few times, indicating her incomprehension.
“She’s only ten years younger than her father.” Lin Ziyan put down the newspaper.
She added in her mind that the man would die unexpectedly from a heart attack a year later.
The president of S Group was imprisoned in the same year.
Li Yazhen regained control of the S Group, but the conservatives did not make her their successor.
"How did you know?" Sister Fang looked at her in surprise.
“This man is a member of parliament from Country A,” Lin Ziyan said, pointing to the economics section of the newspaper.
Fangjie looked closely and said, "Being a princess in a wealthy family isn't easy."
Lin Ziyan didn't say anything, but opened the sales order to look at the data.
Hairun must take advantage of the chaos during the transition period of the S Group to quickly seize their electrical appliance market.
Following this, another electronics brand emerged in country A.
Ren Donglai has been on a business trip in Country A for almost a month. He must have realized that now is the best time, which is why he hasn't rushed back to China.
They just kept sending orders back to the factory to ship them.
With the money and orders back, he continued to stay in Country A to expand the market.
"Wei Ting came to me and said he wants to take some people to Country A to meet up with Director Ren. Do you think it's okay to approve it?" Sister Fang raised an eyebrow after looking at the sales data.
Lin Ziyan: "Approved. Have them process the passports, and also approve the travel expenses."
She got up to go and take a look at the factory workshop.
On the first day back to work, it is customary in Fuzhou to give out red envelopes (containing money) to mark the start of the work year.
After Sister Fang locked the documents, I went with her.
Because the tax matters weren't handled properly before the Lunar New Year, Fatty went to the tax bureau with the accountant as soon as work resumed.
This time, they didn't make things difficult for them and quickly completed the procedures.
The chubby girl didn't ask any more questions and rushed back to the factory with a belly full of doubts.
She bumped into Lin Ziyan before she even entered the office.
"What's your rush? Is someone chasing you for debt?" Lin Ziyan grabbed her hand in time, but was still knocked back a few steps by her.
Fangjie quickly dodged to the side, narrowly escaping disaster.
"I've been holding back my questions all the way here..." The chubby girl poured out her story about the tax bureau.
"Do you think they're deliberately making things difficult? This matter should have been resolved before the new year."
After helping her steady herself, Lin Ziyan stepped out of the office, listening to her as she walked.
"Silly girl, you're not wrong, they did it on purpose." Sister Fang followed behind them, shaking her head and laughing.
They definitely investigated the taxes, but they didn't find anything. They wanted to force Hairun to bow down to them, take the opportunity to find fault with Hairun, punish them, and give an explanation to their superiors.
Unfortunately, Lin Ziyan didn't follow the usual path and simply closed the store, giving her employees paid leave.
Fat girl, "..."
…
On the other side
After the Lunar New Year, Wang Erniu was escorted to Beijing for interrogation.
The Xiao family exhausted all of Old Master Xiao's connections before they were able to barely protect the younger generation from being affected.
Xiao Jin read the investigation report, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
Chen Niaoshu didn't do anything, keeping her mouth tightly shut, as if waiting for something.
What is she waiting for?
Xiao Jin leaned back in her chair and handed the investigation report to Lu Yunshen.
There are other relationships between Wang Erniu, the chemistry teacher, and Chen Niaoshu, but the evidence is insufficient.
Lu Yun Shen read it quickly, then a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"The Chen family still wants to protect Chen Niaoshu, but Old Master Chen doesn't know that there are other people behind his granddaughter."
These investigation reports only briefly mentioned the port accident, and their claims about the purpose of the sabotage were very far-fetched.
Did they want to bring down the Lu family, so they staged that accident?
What about the incident at the small commodities market? Was it simply to create chaos?
Lu Yun's eyes darkened. The Chen family had someone behind them; that person had been protecting them all along.
