Zhang Fengxia lay in bed feeling somewhat depressed. She had indeed been quite tired over the past few years. With her head covered by the blanket, she knew in her heart that she couldn't continue working in her current state. Even if she stayed in China, she probably couldn't escape the torment of phone calls from her family.
Zhang Fengxia sat up in bed, and the thought of going abroad began to cross her mind. Perhaps it would be much better if they could both calm down after being away for a while.
She didn't know many people abroad, and her classmates had all graduated. If she went to the United States rashly, she really wouldn't have a place to stay. After thinking it over, Zhang Fengxia thought of Lu Feng.
In the evening, after Jiang Xiaoyan returned, she told her about her thoughts and her desire to leave for a while. Jiang Xiaoyan agreed after listening. The factory was basically stable now, and the management was able to handle some things, so Zhang Fengxia's departure would not cause too much of a stir.
"Where are you planning to go?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked while eating. "Go straight to the United States? You must have a lot of friends there. I've never been there before, but I've seen on TV that there are lots of skyscrapers there."
“When the Spring Festival comes, you should get a visa and go there. Travel more,” Zhang Fengxia invited.
"We'll talk about it later. Going abroad will definitely cost money. I'll call the investors in Hong Kong tomorrow and ask them to give you a share of the profits in advance. Having money on hand will prevent any worries," Jiang Xiaoyan said, calculating.
“I don’t need too much. I estimate I’ll be back next year and will still stay in the factory. I think our factory has great potential for future development,” Zhang Fengxia said.
As soon as Jiang Xiaoyan entered the house, Duoduo complained about Zhang Fengxia's debts, and was scolded by Jiang Xiaoyan. Now she was sitting there eating in silence with her bowl in her hands, occasionally looking up at her with a very aggrieved look in her eyes, and said, "Are you going out to find your father?"
Jiang Xiaoyan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She paused for a moment before saying, "Yes, if you have nowhere to go, you can go to him."
“I’m not going to see him. He’s in Europe. I’m going to the United States.” Zhang Fengxia’s voice trailed off as she spoke, losing her confidence.
"It's alright, go ahead and look for someone if you want. It's good to have someone you know take care of you when you're abroad," Jiang Xiaoyan comforted her. "Your parents feel that working at Huasha is not respectable, but it might be better if you go back to Jiafeng."
“I don’t want to go back.” Zhang Fengxia didn’t know how to explain herself. At this moment, she felt more like a traitor in Jiang Xiaoyan’s eyes. She put down her chopsticks and said, “I will definitely work with you to make Huasha bigger.”
“Actually, it’s not necessary. If you have a good future, go for it. After all, you’re getting older every day. You can’t stay single forever and hang out with a divorced woman like me, can you?” Jiang Xiaoyan ate her meal, and she understood Zhang Fengxia’s thoughts to some extent.
Over the past two years, she has been working in the business world, met many people, owned her own factory, and managed people under her. Now, her tone and confidence are different. She has also considered getting back together with Lu Feng. It's simply a choice between being a big fish in a small pond and a small fish in a big pond.
Especially since the beginning of this year, she has become more composed. As the factory has started to have surplus funds and she has been frequently involved in the cosmetics and fashion industries, her lifestyle has changed drastically.
She began to feel that she was doing quite well on her own, growing the company step by step and making a good living.
"Sister Xiaoyan, I really didn't mean that," Zhang Fengxia said hurriedly.
“I don’t blame you. I understand that your family is pressuring you. Besides, this is a good thing. As people get older, they seem to naturally understand some things. I’m not even thirty yet, and my thoughts this year seem different from last year. Looking back at the things I insisted on a few years ago, they seem ridiculously naive.”
Jiang Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks as she spoke and continued, "I'm planning to give myself a share of the profits. With so much money sitting in the account, I'm going to buy myself a villa. I used to think that men were the most important thing for women, but now I think I've figured it out. Ability is a woman's backbone. No, ability is everyone's backbone, regardless of gender."
Seeing that she couldn't explain herself clearly, Zhang Fengxia simply stopped talking. Jiang Xiaoyan had indeed changed a lot in the past six months, which could be seen from her clothes and jewelry.
Elmi has been having a great time these past few days. She has communicated with headquarters several times, saying that she has obtained Siemens' channel authorization and is currently signing the contract. The market in Europe will see changes. At the same time, she also had a meal with Ericsson's regional head, during which she confidently stated that the two companies' products are about the same, only differing in channels and marketing. She told him to be prepared and not to blame her for bullying him.
Ericsson simply laughed it off. The gap between the two companies in the UK market was like a chasm, and it would take two or three years of market development to close that gap.
Nokia's branch offices also got busy, contacting advertising companies and running promotions on television, creating a huge buzz for a time.
In addition to its London office, Jiafeng Group has branches in several cities in the UK. Due to the rapid decline of the market, the 30,000 agents under one of the branches are no longer making money. The market's hostility towards Jiafeng has begun to show, with people constantly filing lawsuits in court and even forming unions to protect their rights.
People at the London headquarters have been looking tired lately. They get fined if they're even a minute late, and they have to find things to do even when there's not much work to do. In just a few days, more than twenty people have been fired for poor performance.
The entire company was in a state of panic. In the meeting room, apart from the management and a few core personnel such as finance, other local senior staff were unable to attend senior meetings. Many managers had already sensed what was going on.
