Qian Nana followed behind the whole time. She knew the market price of wax oil, an essential ingredient in lipstick production, better than anyone else, but she didn't say a word the whole time.
Jiang Xiaoyan signed the contract, and Zhao Yanran stood behind her beaming. She thought that it was an overestimation to think that this kind of fool would lose everything in six months.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!" The woman gripped Jiang Xiaoyan's hand tightly and said excitedly, "President Jiang is truly a heroine. Such extraordinary decisiveness is rare among women. A CEO with such strong execution skills as you is definitely a future female tycoon!"
Several people showered her with compliments, making Jiang Xiaoyan feel a little embarrassed. They even analyzed the situation from different perspectives, ultimately concluding that buying it was a sure win.
Zhao Yanran glanced at the time and said, "President Jiang has already taken the most successful step. The lipstick market is extremely competitive, and there are some things you don't quite understand. How about this, I'll treat you to a big meal, and I'll tell you some of the lesser-known things about this industry."
"No need, I'll treat you," Jiang Xiaoyan said politely.
“It’s alright, we’re all sisters, how can I let you treat me every day? Let’s go!” Zhao Yanran made the decision: “Let’s go to Jiangnan Renjia.”

Lu Feng took a nap at home and woke up around 4 p.m. He took out his long-unused motorboat and went for a spin on the sea. There were many young girls playing on the distant shore.
They were all dressed very lightly. Lu Feng led a few of them around, which made the young girls scream in surprise. Some even gave him flirtatious glances, suggesting that they could have dinner and drinks together that night.
Lu Feng glanced at the time; it was time to go back to buy groceries and cook. He politely declined the requests of the young girls, flew all the way from the sea, changed his clothes, and went to the market.
After preparing the meal, I lay on the sofa watching TV, feeling incredibly relaxed and comfortable. This kind of life couldn't be more pleasant. Sometimes I think, being a stay-at-home dad isn't so bad after all.
It was getting dark outside, and Jiang Xiaoyan still hadn't returned. Lu Feng stood at the door and glanced at the time; it was already eight o'clock in the evening. He went back to the living room and made a phone call to the factory.
We were told that after Mr. Jiang and Mr. Qian went out in the afternoon, they never came back.
They waited until 9:30 p.m. when a car pulled up in front of the door, and Qian Nana helped Jiang Xiaoyan, who was covered in alcohol, stagger back.
"What's wrong?" Lu Feng helped her up. Jiang Xiaoyan looked quite drunk, and she leaned against Lu Feng's chest.
"We signed a big deal this afternoon, and General Manager Zhao treated us to dinner. General Manager Jiang was so happy that he drank a bit too much." Qian Nana said to Lu Feng, "It's getting late, I'll head back first. Can I drive the car away? It's not easy to get a taxi around here."
“Okay, I’ll take her to the factory tomorrow,” Lu Feng nodded.
Lu Feng sighed as he looked at Jiang Xiaoyan, who was completely drunk in his arms. He seemed to be beginning to understand her, since he used to often come home very late too.
I wonder how anxious she was on those nights when she had prepared the food and waited impatiently.
"I...I'm telling you...money is no problem. I have money. Three hundred thousand or five hundred thousand is nothing to me. To do big business, you have to be big-spending. The lipstick market...ugh..."
"Oh dear..." Lu Feng hurriedly picked her up and walked towards the door, calling out, "Don't throw up in the house, I don't want to clean it up."
"Don't underestimate me. After observing things these past few days, I've found that doing business is actually quite simple. Are you looking down on me?"
"No, how could I dare to look down on President Jiang?" Lu Feng carried her towards the beach at the entrance.
"Let me tell you, from today onwards, I'm going to have my own career. I will never let my children say, 'Dad's building a great business, and all Mom can do is cook, and her cooking isn't even as good as Dad's.' I also won't let the Lu family look down on me, as if I'm not good enough for them, like a barren old hen..."
Lu Feng stopped in his tracks as he headed towards the sea, staring blankly at her. In the mixed light of the moon and lamplight, Jiang Xiaoyan's face was flushed with a hint of drunkenness.
"You are good enough for me. Nobody looks down on you. You are so beautiful and so understanding. You're just overthinking things."
Lu Feng wanted to say a few more words, but Jiang Xiaoyan couldn't wait any longer.
"vomit!!"
Lu Feng hurriedly made her squat on the ground, turned around and ran home, took out a towel and water, squatted down beside her and gently patted her back.
“I don’t know anything. I’m like an idiot. When I go out to travel with Duoduo, everyone else has a bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree. At the very least, they’re minor celebrities who can sing, dance, and play the piano on stage.”
"You're better than me. I only graduated from elementary school, while you have a high level of education that I can only look up to, and you're so beautiful too."
Jiang Xiaoyan seemed not to hear Lu Feng's words. She knelt on the ground and muttered to herself, "I don't even dare to tell people how rich you are. Those women in the kindergarten are like vixens, especially the divorced ones. They are all highly educated and know so much. I feel like an idiot."
"I overheard those women chatting, and they all said that younger girls had taken their places. Those girls are all incredibly talented; they're not only beautiful, but they're also skilled at playing various instruments and singing. I can't do anything... Waaah."
Jiang Xiaoyan started crying as she spoke, and Lu Feng quickly put his arm around her and said, "I'm not looking for an opera troupe. What would I need for playing instruments and singing? I just want you. I earn so much money, isn't it all so that you can have a good life?"
“I’m under so much pressure. I stay at home every day. My mom calls me and asks if I’m pregnant. She keeps telling me that if I’m not pregnant, you definitely won’t want me anymore. She wants me to fake a pregnancy, since Duoduo was adopted anyway, and I can adopt another boy without telling you. But I can’t do that. I want to have my own child.”
