Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

"I'll be relying on you from now on."

Liu Yifei was very polite and had her assistant bring up the gifts she had brought.

These are all products from high-end luxury brands that she endorses.

Limited edition LV bags, classic Bulgari jewelry, and some beauty and skincare products.

These things were not considered valuable to the three women in front of them.

Their own spending level is high enough to reach this level, not to mention they have Jiang Beicheng, a top tycoon, behind them.

If you want it, you can get it within reach.

Liu Yifei may be far more famous and influential than the three women, but in terms of career and income, she doesn't actually feel superior, let alone feel any gap.

Jiang Beicheng's first wife, Haitangxi, is a business owner herself. She founded the Xishanxingju Architectural Design Studio and has projects worth hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan. Haitangxi's income is very high.

Moreover, the architectural art she is engaged in has a much higher social recognition than acting.

There is a certain hierarchy of contempt.

If Haitangxi can go further and achieve greater heights, her personal achievements will certainly surpass her own.

This is also why Liu Yifei acted so humble in front of Haitangxi; Jiang Beicheng's first wife is indeed powerful.

Li Xingying, his mistress, was an old friend of his. The two got along like best friends in private. Although he had introduced and recommended some jobs to Li Xingying, she had firmly established her image as a talented woman in the online celebrity circle.

With her current popularity, earning over 100 million yuan a year is absolutely no problem for her.

Finally, there's Wu Keqing. Don't let her current lack of career progress fool you; she's a woman on whom Jiangbei City places high hopes.

I'll be going to Hong Kong to help the Jiang family manage their business.

Wu Keqing's biggest advantage is her youth, which gives her a lot of room for growth and improvement.

With this comparison, Liu Yifei no longer feels unbalanced; they are both outstanding women, shining in their respective fields.

"No need to be so polite, we're family. Qianqian, just relax and live in Jiangnan City. Just call me if you need anything." Haitangxi still politely accepted Liu Yifei's gift.

“I don’t go out much anymore, Sister Yifei, so I can go shopping with you more often,” Li Xingying said happily.

I'm so happy that Liu Yifei is pregnant with Jiangbei City's child.

I'm very happy to have the opportunity to spend more time with my best friend now.

Wu Keqing smiled and said, "Sisters, just tell me what you need."

Jiang Beichen smiled and put his arm around the girl's slender waist, and the other three women laughed along with him.

This little girl is quite cute.

Jiang Beicheng: "I went to an international jewelry exhibition in Las Vegas and saw some high-quality jewelry. I had Secretary Shen arrange the customs clearance procedures in advance and sent it back."

Shen Jun understood and called the butler and servants to retrieve the jewelry.

"You can choose for yourselves," Jiang Beicheng said casually.

He was too lazy to analyze who liked what, nor did he want to deliberately act as a master of impartiality to measure value.

From a woman's perspective, any one of these pieces of jewelry would be captivating.

The jewelry at the Las Vegas International Jewelry Show is of a higher grade than that of high-end luxury jewelry brands.

To put it simply, the haute couture collections of high-end luxury brands like Bulgari and Cartier are the entry-level products at jewelry exhibitions.

After all, they are still aimed at the mass consumer market.

We need to consider the purchasing power of the mass market.

There will be some symbolic collector's items, which are quite expensive, but not very readily available.

The international jewelry exhibition mainly showcases the quality of the raw stones.

Some of the finished products are collaborations with designers, but the main value lies in the raw stones.

Jiangbei City's vision and scale certainly wouldn't be interested in ordinary products.

He brought back finished jewelry made from top-quality raw stones such as unheated Mozambique pigeon blood red, violet glass type, and Paraiba tourmaline, the king of tourmalines.

It's just that the carat weight isn't that high.

Large-carat top-tier jewelry is mostly in the hands of auction houses. However, these pieces of jewelry cost Jiangbei City half a small fortune.

He definitely wants to make his woman happy.

The visible smiles on the three women's faces were exactly what Jiang Beicheng wanted to see.

If you like it, that's fine.

You can spend a fortune just to buy something you like.

"Secretary Shen, please go with the housekeeper to verify Xixi's living arrangements again," Jiang Beicheng instructed Shen Jun while the women were enjoying the jewelry.

Shen Jun nodded and told the butler to go take care of his business.

Liu Yifei smiled and put her hand on Jiang Beicheng's arm, "You've gone to so much trouble."

"Being a father is a very demanding and stressful thing," Jiang Beichen joked.

Under the same roof, let's not always be so polite; it makes us seem distant.

Sometimes, a little care from a woman is enough to make a man feel cared for.

"I'll have Sister Xi show you around so you can get familiar with the surroundings. I'm going to see the girl's father," Jiang Beicheng said.

Liu Yifei smiled and nodded.

"Girl, come with me to see your uncle," Jiang Beichen called out.

Wu Keqing put on the Paraiba tourmaline pendant and followed, smiling as she looked at Jiang Beicheng, waiting for his evaluation.

"It looks good, and it suits your skin and collarbone," Jiang Beicheng complimented.

"I love you, brother."

Holding Jiang Beicheng's hand, they went to another villa in the manor to visit Wu's father.

After undergoing surgery at the Beijing Academy of Medical Sciences after the Lunar New Year, Mr. Wu returned to Jiangnan City. They also took care of their house and wholesale business in Chengdu, and now they are focusing on recuperating.

The whole family hopes to extend Mr. Wu's life as much as possible, given the excellent medical care and living conditions provided by Jiangbei City.

When Jiang Beicheng was in Kenya, he called a professor at the Academy of Medical Sciences to inquire about the successful surgery and then went to check on Wu's father's condition.

……

"Sissi, once we step through this door, we're no longer in control of our own destiny. Do you regret it?"

Haitangxi took Liu Yifei for a walk to familiarize them with the manor environment.

Liu Yifei agreed with Haitangxi's words. What woman doesn't want to have a man's love all to herself?
If given the choice, who would willingly become someone they dislike and pretend to be magnanimous to accept other women?

But that's reality; once it happens, it can't be changed.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "I'm not someone who likes to dwell on the past."

Before stepping through this door, we are always in a state of being unable to control our own destiny.

The rules of this society are not something we can make or change.

Someone like Beibei is someone you can only challenge.

"I've learned a lot. Life insights and experiences really do take time to mature. I seem a bit naive in front of you." Haitangxi lowered her stance to interact and communicate with Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei suddenly asked curiously, "Does Beibei have any close women around him?"

Haitangxi nodded firmly, "Yes, but they can't cross this threshold, so you don't need to worry about it."

Liu Yifei smiled and shook her head, saying, "Suddenly, I feel like it's our responsibility for men to go bad."

Haitangxi laughed and said, "Although it sounds absurd, it's not entirely without reason."

Some women go to great lengths just to sleep with rich men. Men aren't saints; if they refuse once or twice, can they refuse three or four times?
If you refuse openly, what if they try to do it secretly?

Wealthy men are always on the defensive, but sometimes it's impossible to defend against everything.

So I don't really care if my baby is out partying and having fun. If he were a saint, we wouldn't even be worthy of his attention or his heart, would we?

Liu Yifei joked, "Let him become a Buddha on the spot."

"Hahaha, even the Buddhist temple isn't necessarily pure," Haitangxi laughed. (End of Chapter)
