"No need, I'm not eating. This isn't about food, I can't compromise!" Lu Feng waved his hand and walked towards his car.
Lu Feng could sense the current financial strain; even a city like Shenzhen was starting to become less extravagant, so one could only imagine the situation in other cities.
Lu Feng wasn't just talking about going to Ningbo. Ningbo is a city with a good geographical location, port, and industry. In addition, Bird has already started production there, and some of its supply chains are much more mature. If possible, Lu Feng really intends to set up the factory there.
Lu Feng initially intended to go straight home, but then he thought about what Zhang Fengxia and Jiang Xiaoyan must be thinking. After some consideration, he went to the hotel instead. After checking in, he called Du Guoying to arrange a meeting the next day before heading to Ningbo.
Inside the villa, Jiang Xiaoyan was overjoyed by Zhang Fengxia's unexpected visit. She was a kind person and had always thought Zhang Fengxia was a good person; the two had a good relationship.
“I came back for the New Year. I’m back this time to take care of some things and also to take the child back to see her maternal and paternal grandparents.” Zhang Fengxia looked Jiang Xiaoyan up and down and said, “You’ve lost weight!”
"She's only gained a little weight recently; last year she was down to around 100 pounds." Jiang Xiaoyan said, looking at the child and saying, "She's grown so much; she's very well-behaved, asleep."
"She sleeps so well, she falls asleep the moment her head hits the pillow. Where's Duoduo? Isn't she out of school yet?" Zhang Fengxia picked up her bag from the side and said, "I also bought her a gift. I heard her talking to her dad on the phone and saying she liked Givenchy dresses, so I bought her four or five sets. I don't know if she'll like them."
"It's too expensive. You can't believe a piece of clothing costs so much." Jiang Xiaoyan sighed and said, "This child is getting more and more spoiled."
“If you can afford it, then buy it. Miaomiao has arranged for three nannies to take care of her. I’m really too busy to go back now. I plan to go out and work after I come back this time,” Zhang Fengxia said.
"Hua Sha, aren't you going to do anything about it?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked, somewhat surprised.
“I actually wanted to go back to Huasha, but the situation is special now. Once Lu Feng has resolved Huasha’s debts, you should take over. After all, you’ve been running it from scratch, so it’s good for you to have some things to do on your own,” Zhang Fengxia replied.
Jiang Xiaoyan felt a little disappointed, but she didn't mention it. Then the topic turned to Huasha, and they talked a lot about the company's development.
“Actually, I’ve been watching how he runs his business. We both expand, so why did mine fail?” Jiang Xiaoyan said, somewhat displeased.
"For a company to expand and compete, it needs to meet several conditions: market expansion, industrial upgrading, service upgrading, and cost reduction. At least two of these four conditions must be met. Lu Feng's previous expansions were all about market expansion and industrial upgrading. He is also upgrading his services in the color TV field."
“Without these conditions, defeating the original industry leader would be as difficult as climbing to the sky. However, the daily chemical market is expanding year by year. As long as the debt is settled this time, we can take it slow and steady. The future will definitely not be too bad.” Zhang Fengxia comforted her, “It’s okay. Who hasn’t suffered losses when starting a business? Everyone has to figure things out step by step.”
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go out for dinner and pick up Duoduo while we're at it," Jiang Xiaoyan said, standing up.
The three of them booked a private room at the restaurant. When Duoduo heard that Zhang Fengxia had bought her clothes, she was so happy that she kept praising Aunt Fengxia for looking beautiful.
After a noisy evening, it was already late at night. The two returned to the bedroom and lay down. The dim bedside lamp illuminated Jiang Xiaoyan's face. They lay there in silence, each hoping the other would speak first.
"He's back too?" Zhang Fengxia was the first to break the silence.
“Yes, he went to the municipal government to discuss cooperation. I think Lu Feng really likes you. He doesn’t want to let go. I think it’s better to guide than to suppress. I’ve also thought about using the child to force him to give in, but then I think, what would be left in such a life? Arguments, doubts, and never peace.”
Zhang Fengxia sighed and said, "Over the years, I've seen so many rich people, and it seems quite normal for them to be surrounded by a bunch of messy women. I know you can't accept it, but what can we do if we don't accept it? If you like someone, you have to accept it!"
