Chapter 140
Meng Nan did not feel any anger at the fact that Deng Yu abandoned her and chose Chen Qingqing.
If someone who doesn't know gold says that gold is bad and abandons gold in favor of other precious metals, does that mean that gold is bad?
Meng Nan is a girl who grew up in love, and she is very straightforward whether she loves or not.
When Meng Nan saw Deng You at this moment, he didn't even feel hatred towards him; he just had no feeling at all.
But Deng You is not as carefree as her.
He felt very upset. Deng Yu once comforted himself that even without Meng Nan, he still had Chen Qingqing.
Chen Qingqing is also a remarkable person. Her father is a secretary and her family is large, so she can provide him with a lot of help.
Who would have thought that after the party that day, Chen Qingqing disappeared out of thin air!
Deng Yu saw her photo in the Focus Group's magazine and ran to Chen Qingqing's agency to question her. Only then did he find out that Chen Qingqing was actually an actor invited by Meng Hua!
She is not the secretary's daughter at all, she is just a tool sent by Meng Hua to test his sincerity!
Deng Yu returned to his workplace in a daze, unable to believe that he had abandoned Meng Nan for Chen Qingqing.
The only chance in his life to change his destiny was right in front of him, but he didn't seize it.
Meng Nan turned to leave but was stopped by Deng You.
"Meng Nan, I am sorry for you. I was deceived by Chen Qingqing at that time. I was blinded by greed and said those hurtful words to you. Don't blame me."
Meng Nan rolled his eyes and said, "Get lost!"
"Meng Nan, listen to me, you really can't blame me entirely! I am indeed a worthless person, I am a utilitarian person, I betrayed our love! But your Meng family is not at fault at all?"
Meng Nan laughed angrily, "You did something immoral, and you still blame our Meng family?"
"Why, you don't know yet? Chen Qingqing is an actress invited by your uncle. She deliberately seduced me and told me that she was the daughter of the municipal party secretary. She bought me a house and a car. Meng Nan, think about it, if you were me, would you really not be moved at all?"
Meng Nan was stunned. "What did you say?"
"Chen Qingqing is an actress hired by your uncle. All of this is caused by your Meng family!"
Deng Yu was angry, as if the Meng family had done something unforgivable.
"If it weren't for you, the Meng family, I wouldn't have become a laughing stock among my colleagues! Now, Chen Qingqing is gone and I have nothing. It's all your fault!"
Meng Nan laughed angrily. It would be a lie if she said she wasn't shocked. But how could Deng Yu have the nerve to put all the blame on others?
"I caused you to do that? What did I do to you? Did I cause you to not be able to live off your husband and become a laughing stock? Did I cause you to not be able to climb up the social ladder by relying on women or marriage? Did I cause you to end up with nothing?"
Meng Nan sneered, making no effort to hide his contempt for Deng You.
"You blame flies for your shit! Ridiculous!"
Deng Yu was very embarrassed because she had exposed his true thoughts.
"Do you think you are so great? Don't you just rely on your family's money? Do you think you have achieved what you have today by yourself? In the final analysis, you are just born into a rich family. If you leave the Meng family, you are nothing!"
Meng Nan was so angry that he kicked him between the legs.
"I know how to reincarnate, I am rich, I am better than you! I am so angry at you, a scum who only cares about money and forgets his principles!"
Colleagues in Taiwan heard them arguing and came out to see what was going on.
A group of people pointed at them and talked about them. Deng You felt so embarrassed that he said angrily:
"Meng Nan, just wait for me! I'll make you pay!"
"Threat me? Just wait and see! I want to see what kind of waves you can make!"
After hearing about this, Meng Hua sent a text message to Meng Nan, wanting to see if Meng Nan knew that he had hired Chen Qingqing as a servant.
Who would have thought that Meng Nan was not angry at all, but only said that Deng Yu threatened her.
Meng Hua knew what kind of person Deng You was. It was hard to guard against a villain, so he had to be alert to deal with this man.
"Don't worry, I'll get someone to keep an eye on him."
The next day, the phone at Deng's postal office suddenly rang. An aunt called to complain that she found maggots in her Anle sleeping sanitary napkin.
Deng Yu took a camera to the suburbs and interviewed the aunt who discovered the maggots.
His camera gave a close-up of the sanitary napkin, allowing the lens to capture the maggots wriggling.
"I just don't believe that after what happened, there are still people who dare to use An Le Shui's sanitary napkins!" Deng You was so proud that he said viciously, "I want Meng Nan to beg me and apologize to me! Otherwise, I will keep an eye on An Le Shui every day and completely destroy her company. Let's see how arrogant she is!"
Deng You also guided the mother to say some inflammatory words and asked her to shout:
"Who would dare to use this kind of sanitary napkin? Anleshui must give us consumers an explanation!"
Deng turned off the camera and was very satisfied with his mother's actions.
He gave the old lady 20 yuan. As soon as she took the money, she saw several people in uniform standing behind Deng You.
The old lady was frightened and ran away. Deng You turned around in confusion and saw his leader leading several police officers, staring at him expressionlessly.
"Leader? Why are you here?" Deng You put on a flattering look. When he saw the police, he was startled. "Leader, what are you doing?"
"What did you say you did? General Meng called the police, saying that you took advantage of your position to hire a group of actors and shoot fake news to slander Anleshui! Deng You, don't you know that making fake news is immoral?" the leader questioned in a deep voice.
Deng You was stunned. "I didn't hire any actors. It was this lady who contacted me and said she found maggots in the sanitary napkins used by Anle."
"You're still trying to make excuses?" The leader said sadly, "Look for yourself! President Meng has been keeping an eye on you for days. Where did you go to find your elder sister? The scene of you looking for maggots in the toilet was all recorded! The camera in this island country has the highest definition! Even your voice can be heard clearly!"
Deng You's face turned pale. He never expected that Meng Hua would send people to follow him and take pictures of such hardcore evidence!
"How is that possible... I was very careful!"
The leader sneered, his words full of regret.
"Deng You, you come from a poor family and are cynical. I understand that. I am the same as you. I came to Beijing from other places to work hard and finally stayed in CCTV. But you don't work hard. You are always in a daze all day long. You always want to get rich overnight and always think that the leader is biased towards others! But you never reflect on yourself! As your leader, I can tolerate your temper, but I tell you, you are in trouble this time! Your behavior is illegal! President Meng will not let you off! Just wait to go to jail!"
Deng You was frightened and went to jail? How could it be so serious?
He was just being clever and found an older sister to slander Anleqian and make fake news.
Is there not enough fake news from CCTV?
How could he be so unlucky that he was caught by President Meng before the news was even broadcast?
He grabbed the leader's hand and said, "Leader, you must help me. I was just possessed by a ghost for a moment!"
"Bewitched? I think you want the company to go bankrupt! Do you know that after voting by all the female employees in Taiwan, the advertisement for Anle Sleep sanitary napkins will be aired on CCTV, and it will be during prime time! Meng Nan will be the largest advertiser of our CCTV! You actually went against her! You are courting death, who can you blame?"
The police officer stepped forward and handcuffed Deng You with a serious look on his face.
"Come back with us and cooperate with the investigation."
Deng You was not convinced: "You all colluded with each other! You were all sent by Meng Hua! Why did he treat me like this?"
The police officer shook his head. This young man was really a fool. He gave up his bright future and chose to do such a shameful thing.
"If you have a grievance, go to the police station and tell them! You are so wicked to catch maggots from the toilet and put them in sanitary napkins to slander others! Is this a trick that a college graduate can come up with?" The police officer shook his head. "Besides, this sanitary napkin is a good brand. My wife is using it. What grievances do you have against others? Why do you treat them like this?"
After Dunn was imprisoned, his mother somehow found out Meng Nan's pager number and actually said that it was Meng Nan who caused her son to become like this.
Meng Nan sneered and was once again thankful that he was not with such trash.
Thanks to Arya's popularity, Anleshui's good reputation, and Anleshui's sincerity, Anleshui attracted widespread attention across the country after it was broadcast on CCTV.
But there are different voices.
A group of people called the TV station, saying that it was indecent to broadcast sanitary napkin advertisements during prime time!
Some people also wrote to the newspaper to report this matter.
Who would have thought that after learning what happened, the editor of the newspaper published a long article on the sanitary napkin advertisement.
The article discussed the plight of women regarding sanitary napkins, regarding the fact that "sanitary napkin ads are not accepted by men", and resonated with a large number of women.
This incident caused such a big fuss that for a while, people on the street were talking about it.
The girls began to share their experiences with sanitary napkins.
Knowing that sanitary napkins are much better than menstrual pads, many girls are attracted to sanitary napkins.
In just one month, the sales volume of Anlesui sanitary napkins increased 12 times.
Meng Nan gave Arya some advertising fees. Arya had little money after retiring, so she didn't bother to be polite and accepted the money generously.
Summer came, Wuwa graduated from high school, got a conscription quota, and joined the army as Meng Hua requested.
Wu Wa has always liked guns and cannons, so he was very happy to learn that he could join the army.
I just felt that I would not be free after joining the army and I was afraid that I would not be able to see my grandma.
"Grandma, you must take care of yourself after I leave."
Zhen Zhen was sorting clothes for Wuwa. Wuwa was the tallest in the family, at least 185cm tall, half a head taller than Meng Dong.
"You have to take care of yourself too. Don't be afraid of hardship when you get to the army. Train well and strive to gain recognition from your leaders and bring honor to your uncle."
"I know, grandma, I won't let you down!"
Tao Ai came out with red eyes, and Meng Eryong also looked depressed.
It was Meng Daguo who brought two long benches and asked everyone to come over and take pictures.
"This is the first time that our fifth child has put on a military uniform. Let's take a group photo as a souvenir," said Meng Daguo.
Zhen Zhen and Meng Bei, who was wearing a military uniform, sat in the middle, and the others surrounded them.
Meng Bei didn't feel bad at first, but after taking the photos, he realized that after leaving home, he might stay in the place where he was stationed and wouldn't be able to go home once a year, and every time he came and went he would be in a hurry.
The time he spent with his grandmother was getting less and less.
"Grandma, you won't forget your Xiaowu, right?"
Wuwa was like a little child, hugging his grandmother and crying.
Zhen Zhen also felt sad because of what he said.
"No matter who I forget, I will never forget Xiaowu. My Xiaowu, nicknamed Shuiwa, was raised by my grandmother. My grandmother would always think about Xiaowu, worrying that he didn't eat enough or sleep well, worried that he got injured during training, and even more worried that he would fly away like a little swallow flapping its wings and never come back."
Wu Wa cried even louder and louder, and Tao Aihong could hardly give him any reason.
"When you are in the army, you should call home frequently. If you can't call, write letters."
Meng Eryong's eyes also turned red. "I don't ask you to be like your brother, studying at National Tsing Hua University, setting up a company, and inventing the Panda. I just hope you can be safe, have a job, and find a wife."
In Meng Eryong's heart, Wu Wa is inferior to Meng Dong in everything.
He had no other expectations for the child. He just hoped that the state would take care of him and that Wuwa would not cause any trouble.
Wu Wa was unhappy with what he said.
Zhen Zhen slapped Meng Eryong on the back, stunning him.
"Mom, why did you hit me?"
"What are you talking about? Your elder brother is better at work than you, and Meng Hua is better at studying than you. Did mother compare you with your elder brother?"
Meng Eryong felt a burning sensation on his back. "Mom, my son is no worse than them, right?"
"Oh my, you are so confident! You are not that great, but you are always finding fault with your children. The five-year-old left home, but you can't say a few words of happiness? Do you have to compare your children? Besides, do you have to get into Tsinghua University and start a company to be considered successful?"
Meng Eryong didn't understand. "Mom, if getting into Tsinghua University and starting a company is not called success, then what is success?"
"I only know that my little Wu is healthy, handsome, good at sports, and has a good personality! When he becomes a soldier in the future, he will be a good soldier in the army. If this is not success, what is it?"
Wuwa's sense of loss was swept away, and he hugged his grandmother happily.
"Grandma, I will miss you. I will also work hard to train and strive to be a useful person."
Wu Wa just followed the conscription leader.
Zhen Zhen waved goodbye to him, feeling that time passed too quickly.
And she still can't get used to the separation.
After Wuwa left, the house suddenly became a lot quieter.
Old Mrs. Meng peeled a handful of melon seeds and secretly put them into Zhen Zhen's pocket.
Zhen Zhen smiled, "What are you doing? Are you trying to comfort the child?"
"I'm afraid you'll be sad," Mrs. Meng laughed, "Your fifth grandson has never left home. You won't be used to him leaving now, right?"
Zhen Zhen couldn't deny that Xiao Wu's departure made her feel a little sad.
“You have to learn to accept it.”
"That's right. When Daguo's father and grandfather left, I was not used to it either. I always felt that the house was empty and someone just disappeared like that, but I got used to it later."
Old Lady Meng seemed to think that it was unlucky to mention the dead, and she changed the subject, "Raising a child is like raising a chicken. Once it grows up, it will run away."
Zhen Zhen smiled and took out a stack of letter paper from under the book, "I'm writing a letter to Wu Wa!"
"You're writing a letter before you even get on the train?"
"I wrote the letter first, and when he arrived at the army, the letter was also delivered, without a single day's delay."
Old Mrs. Meng felt that her daughter-in-law was like a child, and it was a great pity for her to raise the whole family.
When she went underground, she told Meng Changzheng and her old man that everything was fine at home and they didn't need to worry.
Old Mrs. Meng missed her son and secretly went to burn incense for Meng Changzheng.
She thought for a moment and said to Meng Changzheng's tombstone:
"Wait for me for another two years, and I will go down to reunite with you."
The document for Xinyao County to become an independent city has finally been issued.
Xu Wei took up the post on the spot and became the secretary of the Xinyao Municipal Party Committee.
This does not conform to China's promotion process, but Xu Wei's achievements are there, and the country thinks he is a good hand at poverty alleviation, and wants to make him a model city for economic development.
In short, Xu Wei stayed in Xin Yao City.
Xinyao was established as an independent city, and all signs in the city had to be replaced, the urban area had to be replanned, the names of the streets had to be changed, and the nameplates of various units had to be upgraded.
Even Zhen Zhen’s Zhenxin Supermarket was upgraded to become Xinyao City Zhenxin Department Store.
In the past two years, Xinyao's wool sweater industry has developed very well.
After Xu Wei was promoted to secretary, he also wanted to make some achievements, so he discussed with Zhen Zhen the reorganization and listing of several state-owned enterprises.
Zhen Zhen agreed to locate the rubber factory in Xin Yao, and Meng Hua's condom factory would also be built here.
"Beer! Beer must be brought over!"
In a county town that was merged with Xinyao, there was a state-owned beer factory, which was acquired by Zhen Zhen.
Zhen Zhen owns a total of 7 breweries, one of which is in Harbin and is also a nationally famous brand. She plans to merge these factories and list them on the stock market. According to conservative estimates, she can earn 1 billion just from the breweries!
If she adds rubber factories, clothing factories and the like, she can make at least 3 billion from the restructuring and listing of state-owned enterprises!
After Xu Wei came to power, he planned to attract investment on a large scale.
"I plan to have the Investment Promotion Office go to the port city and some coastal cities to attract investment. If there are manufacturers willing to invest in Xinyao, we will provide them with land and tax incentives! With more companies, we will have more jobs and the city's finances will have more money. With money, we will build roads and develop education. This will create a virtuous cycle."
Xu Wei also plans to introduce an education group.
Zhen Zhen was puzzled, "What are you going to do?"
"Big sister, you know that the education in Xinyao County is too backward. It is only because of your Mengnan and Mengbei's efforts that Xinyao has produced two golden phoenixes."
Xu Wei showed Zhen Zhen the information of several education groups.
Zhen Zhen pondered: "These are all private schools. I think education should still be led by the government."
"Great minds think alike!" Xu Wei pondered, "Private schools are expensive and ordinary people can't afford to go to school. I plan to take the lead from the government and bring in principals from high schools with the highest admission rates from other places to run schools! We must use three years to build a strong education city and make our Xinyao education unique!"
Zhen Zhen likes Xu Wei more and more.
She and Xu Wei are the same kind of people. She wants to make money, and Xu Wei wants political achievements, but they are both people who get things done.
“Does the city have enough money?”
"Not enough." Xu Wei started to cry again, "Big sister, you know, we just moved from a county town to a city, and we just built a new library. We are really out of money."
Zhen Zhen didn't waste time talking to him. "How about this? The North District is close to me, so I will donate the schools there, but they must be named after the Zhenxin Group."
"No problem!" Xu Wei agreed immediately, "We, Xin Yao, are inseparable from Zhenxin Group! We must let the children study in a spacious school building. Thank you, Boss Zhen, for being such a kind man!"
“That’s not necessary.”
Zhen Zhen was most afraid of this kind of thing, so she promised to donate 20 million to Xu Wei to build school buildings, gymnasiums, and running tracks.
Fearing that the county would withhold funds, Zhen Zhen requested that she be in charge of supervising the use of the money.
"No problem, big sister! As long as you are willing to pay, anything is fine!"
The two hit it off immediately, and Zhen Zhen asked Meng Dazhu to build the school building.
Building a school is not an easy task. A university that can accommodate tens of thousands of people must have dormitories, teaching buildings, gymnasiums, playgrounds, libraries and other facilities, which requires professional drawings.
Zhen Zhen is a time traveler. Thinking of the traffic jams in future schools after school, she specifically requests that the roads near the school be opened up and that the school have four gates so that children can go out of different gates after school to avoid crowding.
The community next to Zhenxin Department Store has been built.
Meng Daguo is doing the final decoration. He invited a designer from Hong Kong City to design a house for his mother, and he is very busy.
Meng Daguo finally returned home and wanted to see his wife, his daughter-in-law. But who would have thought that as soon as he opened Meng Nan's door, he would see Meng Nan grinning foolishly at the computer.
During dinner, Meng Nan mysteriously announced that he was in love online.
Zhen Zhen was stunned. She never expected that her eldest granddaughter would be so fashionable and follow this new trend of online dating.
Meng Daguo was very anxious. "What's the other person's name? Where is he from? What's his education? What's his family background?"
Meng Nan was unhappy. "Dad, are you checking my household registration? I'm in a relationship and I'm not married yet. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Meng Daguo was very anxious, but he was afraid that his daughter would rebel, so he did not dare to confront her.
After dinner, Meng Daguo went to Zhen Zhen's room and said worriedly:
"Mom, Meng Nan is too willful. How can you just talk to a friend you met online?"
"The girl is grown up, it's not up to you to control her."
"What can you learn about online? You are chatting enthusiastically now, but when you meet in person, you have constant friction. If you get married, will you be able to live a happy life?"
Meng Nan is the eldest daughter in the family and the first child of Meng Daguo.
She is most like Meng Daguo and also most like Zhen Zhen. Meng Daguo has high hopes for her.
But I didn't expect that this girl always causes trouble in her relationship.
"Er Ya's boyfriend was introduced by Meng Hua, who knows him well. Si Ya's boyfriend is a director with a red background. Our Meng Nan is obviously the best, so why doesn't he listen?"
Zhen Zhen felt that Meng Daguo was being too pessimistic.
"Daguo, the child is getting older. The more you hold her back, the more she will get stronger."
"But I know she's going to be wronged, and I know she wants a divorce. Can I let her go?"
Zhen Zhen has a disagreement with Meng Daguo.
Everyone is going to die, so why should we not live?
Knowing that the future is not good, does that mean we deny the process of moving towards the future?
Is the outcome really more important than the process?
Who says that happiness is only about growing old together, living in harmony and being faithful to one person?
Life is about experience, about going through life, and about the process of rushing forward.
Meng Daguo was not overwhelmed by his return to Hong Kong, but Meng Nan's online romance made him unable to sleep or eat.
Jiao Huilan found it funny that men looked strong but were actually weak. They always acted as if the sky was falling over trivial matters.
She felt that her mother-in-law was right, they could not live Meng Nan's life for her.
Any behavior that interferes in other people's lives under the pretext of "for your own good" is a form of disguised control.
Meng Pandi came back from training in Hong Kong. She came to the Meng family and announced a good news to Zhen Zhen.
"Auntie, I changed my name!"
Zhen Zhen was stunned for a moment, then took Meng Pandi's ID card, only to see that the word "Di" had been removed and replaced with "Meng Panpan".
"Why did you think of changing your name?"
Meng Pandi originally did not want to change her name, but when she went to Hong Kong for further studies, the training teacher read her name and asked her:
"Ms. Meng, do you have a younger brother?"
Meng Pandi will always remember the look in other people's eyes when they looked at her.
She is herself. She does not live for the hope of having a boy in the family. She does not want others to think of her younger brother when they read her name.
After returning from the training, Meng Pandi changed his name immediately.
This vicious name has followed her for thirty years, and she has finally gotten rid of it completely!
Meng Pandi felt that his life had started anew.
"Grandma, I feel the air is very free."
"Pan Pan, congratulations to you, congratulations on breaking free from the quagmire of favoring boys over girls, getting rid of the name 'Pandi', and becoming an excellent woman!"
Meng Pandi, no, it should be called Meng Panpan.
She lowered her head with sore eyes.
"Auntie, we rural girls have such a hard life. I'm so glad I met you. You guided me, helped me, gave me opportunities for promotion, and allowed me to completely break free from my life and become a different person."
Zhen Zhen patted her shoulder and said, "Pan Pan, you should be grateful to yourself. Your aunt is proud of you."
She is proud of every "Pandi", "Zhaodi", "Shengnan" and "Yanan" who have escaped from their original families.
By the year 1998, Sanwa's Panda Account had been downloaded over 100 million times, and the game hall had as many as 25 games.
Relying on pop-up ads and game income, Sanwa's Nintendo company had a revenue of more than 70 million.
That day, Tan Wenyin came to see Sanwa. It was the first time for Tan Wenyin to come to Ren Dongxi Company. She never expected that Sanwa's company had hundreds of employees and occupied a two-story residential building.
"Auntie, why are you here?" Meng Dong was wearing a black suit and looked quite calm.
Tan Wenyin was really moved. What kind of feng shui is this for the Meng family? Everyone is a dragon among dragons and phoenixes!
Thinking that her son was also from the Meng family, Tan Wenyin felt that Tan Cong had a promising future.
"Meng Dong, this is Qiao Lu, my neighbor in the compound. She came back from studying abroad last year and developed an online book shopping mall. But she couldn't get any investment, so she came to me."
Tan Wenyin thought this website was good, but she was not interested in doing business, and Meng Hua's mind was not on the Internet. After thinking about it, Tan Wenyin decided to help Sanwa find a connection.
"Hello, Miss Qiao," Meng Dong shook hands with Qiao Lu and said in a deep voice, "Let me see your website."
Qiao Lu never expected that the boss of Ren Dongxi, the most powerful Internet company in the country, was so young.
She walked to Meng Dong's computer and entered the URL of her website.
Her hair was down and she smelled a faint scent of pear perfume, which made Meng Dong lose his mind for a moment.
Meng Dong moved the mouse and asked, "Is this website mainly for selling books?"
"At present, I originally wanted to develop CDs, clothing, food, furniture and other businesses, and have the website deliver the goods. But I don't have enough funds, so I can't take action."
I have to say that Qiao Lu's website is very smooth and it is a qualified website.
Meng Dong was quite interested in the shopping website. "To be honest, our company has just successfully developed a payment software."
“Online payment?”
"Yes, our software can bind bank cards to make online payments."
Meng Dong initially just wanted customers to recharge their game memberships.
Who would have thought that it could be used on a shopping website?
Qiao Lu is very ambitious. She wants to run a full-category mall, develop her own logistics, and hopes that in the near future, logistics can be delivered the next day.
Meng Dong felt that she was more daring than he was. "My sister and I invested in the company together, so I have to ask her opinion. I also have to ask my grandmother what she thinks."
"Your grandma?" Qiao Lu was quite surprised.
Tan Wenyin slapped her thigh, "His grandmother is my mother-in-law, the boss of Zhenxin Group, she's very rich! Qiaolu, don't underestimate my mother-in-law, Meng Dong's Panda was built with the support of my mother-in-law! I suggest you talk to my mother-in-law, maybe you can get some new ideas."
