Chapter 401: Wasted Efforts
Fortunately, the Xia Ning Group is now on the right track. All employees are like parts of a machine, maintaining the operation of the huge Xia Ning Group. The current communication conditions are also relatively convenient. Suning travels around the world with four women, so as not to cause any trouble to the Xia Ning Group. If any major incidents occur, they will be handled remotely at the first time.

Despite this, the five of them had to get down to work immediately after returning to Hong Kong. Now Aqiong has also joined the Xia Ning Group and is currently in charge of the Hong Kong Island cinema chain. He will continue to take on more important tasks in the future.

"Suning, I feel that the film and television industry in Hong Kong is very developed now, and we should move into film production." Arjun suggested to Suning immediately.

"Well, Aqiong, what you said makes sense." Suning nodded in approval, and then said encouragingly, "You can use the cinema chain as a foundation and slowly move into film and television production. The group will support you."

"Haha, then I'll just do it."

"Well, we all believe in your ability."

The manufacturing of white goods is now almost entirely occupied by Xia Ning and mainland home appliance factories, which has made China's home appliance manufacturing a leader. Therefore, Suning has long been preparing to develop computer production and assembly business, which is what the original Lenovo did.

Xia Ning Group has huge technology and funds, and it was easy for it to produce the first generation of Xia Ning computers, and then launched them globally on Christmas Day in 1987. Suning, with the aim of being a step ahead and becoming a genius, only made a little optimization of the computer technology on the market, but this still allowed Xia Ning computers to quickly occupy a place in the international market.

The mainland is of course happy to see high-tech companies like Xia Ning. Xia Ning Group immediately donated a batch of Xia Ning computers to major universities in the mainland. So after seeing the excellence of Xia Ning computers, the mainland chose to purchase them in large quantities and became the biggest supporter of Xia Ning computers.

Suning was very happy with his career success, but there were still things at home that made him feel depressed. Some things always made Suning feel that they were beyond his control.

"Chunming, Xiaoxing is getting married, and I want to go back to Beijing to attend her wedding." Han's mother saw that Su Ning had finished his work, and then told her about the family affairs.

"Oh? Where is her boyfriend from?"

"Huh?" Han's mother hesitated at this time.

Seeing Han's mother's expression, Su Ning suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and then he guessed that Meng Xiaoxing might still be hooking up with Cheng Jianjun like in the original drama.

"Mom, could it be Cheng Jianjun?"

"Ah? Chunming, how did you know?"

"Hey! Mom, can you please not go? Let's cut off contact with Meng Xiaoxing." Su Ning did not answer Han's mother's question. Instead, he suddenly looked at Han's mother with a wry smile.

"Ah? Although I know that what Meng Xiaoxing did was wrong, but Xiaoxing is your cousin after all!"

"Mom, we have to love those who deserve love. Don't we keep a good child like Meng Xiaozao by our side?"

"Chunming, do you really want to sever ties with Meng Xiaoxing?"

"Yes! I'll call my eldest brother later and tell them not to go over there and just pretend they don't know about this."

"Alright! Meng Xiaoxing really went too far this time."

In front of Han's mother, Su Ning called Han Chunsong in Beijing and explained the matter to him. Now with Su Ning's career success, what Su Ning said in the Han family is particularly useful.

"Chunming, don't worry! I know Meng Xiaoxing has gone too far this time. I will tell Chunsheng and Chunxue and the others."

"Well, that's good!"

"Chunming, Leizi's academic performance in Beijing is not good. He wants to study in Hong Kong. Can you help arrange it?"

"Oh? Lei Zi is a senior this year, right?"

"Yes! The college entrance exam is coming up soon, but his grades aren't ideal, so it's definitely going to be difficult for him to get into a good university."

"Yes, sure! I'll help him contact them."

"That's great, thank you Chunming." Han Chunsong couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Suning agreed so quickly on the phone.

"Brother, although I may be stubborn sometimes, as long as it's something I should do, I will never refuse."

"Chunming, I know what you mean. Meng Xiaoxing is our example. We will never degenerate like her."

"Well, I feel relieved now that Big Brother said that."

Suning was also unwilling to make things too awkward with his brothers and sisters, as Han's mother, who was caught between the two sides, would be the most uncomfortable. After several lessons from him, Han Chunsong and Han Chunsheng became much more honest.

Because of Han's mother's continuous provision of subsidies, the lives of Han Chunsong's four families are getting better and better. In addition, with the large-scale demolition and construction in Beijing in the past two years, Han Chunsong's four families are also the first group of people to benefit from it. They are no longer as petty and opportunistic as before.

Seeing the changes in his four brothers and sisters, Suning felt very happy and relieved. Suning also expressed his strong support for Han Chunsong's wish to let Suning's eldest nephew Han Lei study in Hong Kong. In Suning's hands now, this matter is really very simple. He only needs to donate a sum of money to the University of Hong Kong so that the University of Hong Kong can accept Han Lei.

"Chunming, your elder brother wants Han Lei to come to Hong Kong to study?" Han's mother had been listening to the phone next to him, then looked at Su Ning in surprise and asked.

"Yes! I plan to arrange for him to study at the University of Hong Kong."

"Great! Great! The University of Hong Kong!" Seeing her children getting along so well, Han's mother was undoubtedly the happiest. "Chunming, it's great that you can get along so well with your brothers and sisters."

"Mom, they've changed a lot in the past few years." Looking at Han's surprised mother, Su Ning had to say it in advance, "If they still behave the same as before, I don't mind giving them the same treatment as Meng Xiaoxing."

"Haha, your brothers and sisters will definitely not learn from Meng Xiaoxing, so you can rest assured."

"Haha, I hope so!" Suning said without comment.

Human nature is complex and vulnerable. When the eldest nephew arrives in Hong Kong, he will undoubtedly see his uncle's true wealth. It's hard to guarantee that Han Chunsong and Han Chunsheng won't be tempted. After all, Suning understands the power of money to move people, and based on his understanding of his older siblings, it's hard to guarantee that they won't harbor unrealistic expectations.

Although Cheng Jianjun didn't know how big Suning had grown, he still felt that it was beyond his reach, so when he saw Meng Xiaoxing, who had become rich through demolition, he immediately started a crazy "hookup".

Meng Xiaoxing is also a profit-driven person, so the two of them can be said to have hit it off immediately. However, as things have developed to this point, the two have already made unforgivable mistakes.

Cheng Jianjun was actually a little annoyed, but when he thought of the young and wealthy Meng Xiaoxing, and the possibility of being connected with the mysterious Suning again, Cheng Jianjun finally abandoned Cai Xiaoli and chose to marry Meng Xiaoxing.

But Cheng Jianjun soon found out that he was wrong. Suning and the entire Han family excluded him and Meng Xiaoxing. No one even came to their wedding, as if they had no idea about their marriage.

"Xiao Xing, what's going on?" Cheng Jianjun looked at Meng Xiao Xing with a sullen expression, as if he had been deeply insulted. "Why didn't your second aunt and her family come to our wedding?"

"Huh? How should I know what's going on?" Meng Xiaoxing seemed a little aggrieved.

"Meng Xiaoxing, didn't you call Chunming's mother?"

"Yes!" Meng Xiaoxing explained with a wry smile, "I personally sent invitations to my eldest brother Han Chunsong and my second brother Han Chunsheng."

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Jianjun, do you think it's my Fifth Brother who forbade them from coming?" Meng Xiaoxing explained with a wry smile, "You know, Fifth Brother has always hated me, and now that I'm married to you, he's definitely very dissatisfied."

"Hmph! Han Chunming, I will never let you go in this life!" At this time, Cheng Jianjun was already convinced that it was because of Suning. After all, in the Han family, only Suning had this appeal.

Cheng Jianjun saw that his carefully planned plan was ruined again by Suning, and his heart was filled with hatred. He blamed all the misfortunes in the past few years on Suning. Although this seemed inexplicable, this was Cheng Jianjun's petty character.

Cai Xiaoli may be the biggest victim of this incident, because after she divorced Cheng Jianjun, she had nowhere to go for a while. Although she got a part of Cheng Jianjun's property, it is not good to always live off the money, so she had to go out to find a job.

Although there are many opportunities in Beijing now, for a middle-aged woman like Cai Xiaoli who has no special skills, restaurants are the most suitable for her.

Cai Xiaoli went to several restaurants in a row, but she was not satisfied with the salary and treatment. She looked at the sign of the restaurant and immediately thought of a shadow that had not appeared in her mind for a long time. Cai Xiaoli gritted her teeth and walked in.

The salary and benefits at Zai Hui Lou were not much better than those at other hotels in Beijing, but she still went directly to work there because she was very scheming and believed that only here would she have the possibility and opportunity to climb up.

In the years that Cai Xiaoli and Cheng Jianjun have been married, she has been subtly influenced by Cheng Jianjun. In addition, she is a bit scheming, so she wants to find some opportunities with Li Chengtao.

Li Chengtao is definitely a successful person now. He manages the Yuebin restaurant chain across the country and has always been a guest of honor that many people are vying to invite. It can be said that a random word from him can determine the fate of many people.

Li Chengtao is usually very busy and rarely has time to come to stores like Zaihuilou. Maybe he doesn't stay in Beijing for too long each time and often needs to travel around the country because a nationwide chain catering company has a lot of things to deal with.

On this day, Li Chengtao happened to come to Zaihuilou for a banquet. After eating and drinking, he talked about business with others. Li Chengtao was used to hearing others compliments on him.

As a result, he met his first love Cai Xiaoli after dinner. Driven by curiosity, Li Chengtao secretly inquired about Cai Xiaoli's recent situation, and then his heart was filled with regret for Cai Xiaoli's current situation.

Li Chengtao's thoughts seemed to have returned to that ignorant era again. He was around Cai Xiaoli every day and treated Cai Xiaoli's orders as "imperial edicts". The result was the painful torment of not being able to get the love he wanted.

In fact, Li Chengtao could easily improve Cai Xiaoli's environment now, but he chose not to do so. Because Li Chengtao had worked with Suning for so many years, he had inadvertently been infected by Suning's style of hating entanglements, and he became decisive in doing everything.

Now there is nothing going on between Li Chengtao and Cai Xiaoli, so there is no need to continue to entangle them. Therefore, Li Chengtao has no intention of recruiting Cai Xiaoli, letting Cai Xiaoli beat the gong to catch sparrows - a waste of effort.

Seeing that she did not get the result she wanted, although Cai Xiaoli was very unwilling, it was difficult for her to contact Li Chengtao now. As for contacting Suning, it was even more difficult. Maybe Suning didn't even remember her.

It was not until then that Cai Xiaoli truly regretted her decision. If she had accepted Li Chengtao's pursuit, Yu Suqiu's life and career would now belong to her, Cai Xiaoli. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and she can only suppress this regret deep in her heart.

"Taozi, that's your first love, Cai Xiaoli, right?" Yu Suqiu said to Li Chengtao who had been driving silently.

"Ah? How did you know?" Li Chengtao seemed very surprised, and there was a little panic in his tone.

"Haha, you little brat!" Seeing Li Chengtao's surprise, Yu Suqiu seemed particularly proud. "Before I married you, I already knew everything about you. Don't even think about hiding anything from me."

"Haha, how could I possibly hide it from you."

"Hmph! Then what are you going to do with Cai Xiaoli?"

"Arrange her? Why arrange her?"

"Taozi, she is your first love after all. There's nothing wrong in taking care of her a little." Yu Suqiu seemed very generous.

"Ah? Suqiu, do you mind?"

"Haha, why should I mind?" Yu Suqiu shook her head disapprovingly, then said with some emotion, "She is also a pitiful woman. It doesn't matter if we can help her a little."

"Well, just take care of the arrangements. I won't interfere anyway." Li Chengtao shook his head with a wry smile.

"Haha, I'll make the arrangements!" Yu Suqiu was very pleased with Li Chengtao's understanding, and then she smiled and told him her plan. "I want to transfer her to Shanghai, so that she can be a store manager and get rid of the harassment from her ex-husband's family."

"Well, it's up to you! I have no objection."
