The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reached an agreement, and soon Yu Xiang started working at Lanxin.
However, unlike when Erwa joined the company, Yu Xiang started from an even lower point this time. She went to one of Lanxin's branches in Haishi.
The other colleagues in the store were also unaware of Yu Xiang's true background.
Because of Yu Xiang's college degree, she was assigned to the management trainee position after joining the store, which is the position of store manager in advance.
If they perform well later, they may be able to take on other positions within the Lanxin Group.
Although she started working at Lanxin, Yu Xiang didn't close her own small shop; she just hired a chef.
Her small shop is doing well now. Even though she changed the chef and had to pay wages, she still makes a profit.
Not closing the store is also a matter of Yu Xiang's own sentiment.
Erwa's career was progressing slowly.
But this time when Zhao Qinglan came over, she also had a good talk with her son.
Erwa wasn't actually against working for his family's company; he just felt that there weren't many positions in the company that interested him.
After careful consideration, Zhao Qinglan felt that Lanxin's dream of becoming a food critic was not impossible for her to pursue.
After talking with her son, she decided to become an investor and have him launch a food magazine, while also collaborating with the local TV station to create a food program.
Erwa had thought about this before. Even though the development in this area was not mature in China, there were many successful examples abroad.
He had limited start-up capital, so he could only operate on a small scale.
Now, with the substantial investment from his mother, Erwa is finally getting down to business.
Of course, these funds were not invested for nothing.
Zhao Qinglan and her son officially signed a contract as business partners.
In order to get Yu Xiang into Lan Xin's heart and to invest in Erwa, Zhao Qinglan stayed in Haishi for more than half a month.
By the time she returned home, Sanwa's vacation was almost over.
Zhao Qinglan immediately felt guilty towards her youngest son.
"If I had known, I would have let you come to Haishi with me."
Sanwa smiled nonchalantly. "Mom, I'm doing fine at home. I still have Dad here."
That's true. Every time I go out, my husband doesn't say anything, but he always feels a little resentful.
This time, with three kids by my side, I won't be lonely anymore.
Li Huai was indeed in a good mood because he could always see his son when he got home.
Catch the last days of the holiday, Zhao Qinglan spent a few more days being a loving mother.
Then the third child took a plane and left.
Previously, the three children would always fly from Beijing.
This time, he took a plane to the port city.
Zhao Qinglan decided to go to the port city with her son.
After her son left by plane, she didn't go home immediately, but instead began to inspect the properties in the port city.
Mrs. Sun invited her niece to afternoon tea, and she looked noticeably healthier.
"Auntie, you seem to be in a good mood."
Mrs. Sun smiled. "That's right, Yunxiang, you brought your girlfriend to see me."
"Really! That's wonderful!" Zhao Qinglan exclaimed happily.
She knew very well how much her aunt cared about her cousin's marriage.
The last time her aunt mentioned that her cousin Yunxiang seemed to have a girlfriend, she was worried that it wouldn't end well and would disappoint her aunt again.
The main reason was that after they came last time, Xiao Duo had been trying to sneak a peek at Yunxiang's cousin's girlfriend, but she couldn't find the opportunity and thought that the two of them had run into trouble.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and not long after, he met her parents.
"That's right. That girl is a very nice person. I told them that I'll find an opportunity to meet her parents and talk about their marriage. Even if they don't get married right away, they can get engaged first."
Her son had finally come to his senses and even found a good partner, so the fact that she couldn't help but keep urging him to get married showed her good self-control.
During her stay in the port city, Zhao Qinglan also received invitations to some business events and banquets.
In the past, when she came to Hong Kong, she was able to attend some grand occasions mainly because of her aunt's connections.
Even if she went, others would only see her as Mrs. Sun's niece from the Liao Group.
Now, she has not only been invited to the handover ceremony, but also because of her status as the chairperson of Lanxin Group and the owner of Gangcheng Investment Company.
She participates in more activities in mainland China, but very few in Hong Kong.
Knowing that her aunt had also received an invitation, she thought that she wouldn't be alone if she went, so she attended.
Once she arrived at the venue, attendees started approaching her one after another to chat and make friends.
As for those who dared to discriminate against her because she was from mainland China, there were none left.
She finally managed to make those arrogant people take her seriously with her own abilities, and she no longer had to rely on her aunt.
Madam Sun is getting old and doesn't like socializing. If she hadn't known that Zhao Qinglan had received an invitation, she wouldn't have bothered to show up.
Even when they come, they basically just sit there and talk to a few old friends.
After a round of drinks, Zhao Qinglan sat down to rest. As she listened to one of the senior figures in the financial industry talking about some recent events in Asian finance, she was instantly jolted awake.
Because of the senior's worried words, she remembered something important.
Shortly after Hong Kong's return to China, the Asian financial crisis broke out, and Hong Kong seemed to be greatly affected.
She only vaguely remembered that a financial tycoon was stirring up trouble in the Asian financial market with some capital.
But she had no recollection of the specific timeframes or key events.
There was nothing she could do; in her past life, she was still working like a slave in the Wang family.
I can remember this important event thanks to news reports.
But what can she do even if she knows about such a major event that involves so many people?
Although she relied on her memories from her previous life to invest in some stocks and made a considerable profit, she was still a complete novice when it came to finance.
She can't control other Asian countries, but the financial crisis has affected Hong Kong, and many businesses are bound to be impacted.
Not to mention that my aunt's Liao Group has many businesses and employees in the port city, she herself now has quite a few businesses in the port city.
She should think of a way to minimize the damage caused by this incident.
Seeing her niece's suddenly pale face, Madam Sun asked worriedly, "Qinglan, are you feeling unwell?"
Zhao Qinglan forced a smile. "A little, actually."
"Then hurry back. I'm tired too. Why don't you come to my place first? I'll call the family doctor to come and check on you."
"Auntie, I don't need to see a doctor. I just have a bit of a headache. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
"Alright, let's go together."
Knowing that something big was about to happen, Zhao Qinglan lost the will to stay any longer and got up to leave.
Once she got back, she immediately contacted the trader she had hired.
This trader was always a little uneasy about receiving a high salary but not having much work, so he rushed over as soon as his boss called.
However, after meeting Zhao Qinglan, the boss, and hearing her instructions, the trader was dumbfounded.
