Chapter 173 Going into Business and Developing Many Things

The news of Liang Yi's early retirement caused quite a stir and attracted all sorts of attention.

Some genuinely sympathized, while others secretly watched with amusement.

Liang Yi and An Min shut themselves in and endured the first few days of boredom and frustration.

"This place is really no fun to stay in."

As An Min packed up Liang Yi's personal belongings brought back from the research institute, she spoke softly, her tone resolute.

"I think going south is a good decision."

Liang Yi sat by the window, looking down at the brand-new community garden, and nodded.

"A tree dies when transplanted, but a person thrives. If Jianguo and Hongmei can make a name for themselves in the south, we might be able to do something if we go there. We can't just waste our energy and brains."

Once the decision to head south to seek refuge was made, the actions became swift.

An Min quickly wrote a long letter back to Li Hongmei, explaining in detail the changes that had occurred here and their plans.

Upon receiving the letter, Li Hongmei and Zhang Jianguo immediately made a long-distance call, their voices filled with excitement.

"That's great! Come quickly! There's plenty of space here, and we're just short of trustworthy people. Don't worry about housing or jobs, we've got you covered."

After hanging up the phone, An Min and Liang Yi's last remaining concerns were dispelled.

She resigned from her position as department head, having received much care and support from him over the years.

Although the head of the department was reluctant, he knew that they couldn't stay at the research institute any longer, so he quickly approved their resignation applications.

They quickly disposed of their belongings, and following Liang Yi's advice, they decided not to sell the new house for the time being, entrusting it to their trusted Sister Wang for safekeeping and rental.

After saying goodbye to a few close friends, one morning, the family of four, filled with hope for the future, boarded a green train heading south.

The further south the train travels, the more different the scenery outside the window becomes.

The vastness and ruggedness of the North have gradually been replaced by the lushness and moisture of the South.

Rice paddies, fishponds, and banana groves flashed by.

What surprised them even more was that the closer they got to their destination, the more factories they saw along the railway line.

The red brick walls and tin roof, though somewhat rudimentary, created a bustling scene with smoke billowing from the chimneys and the roar of machinery.

Many factory buildings have signs hanging at their entrances, reading "Electronics Factory," "Garment Company," and "Toy Factory." The signs are brand new and particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

An Min and Liang Yi exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

The air here seems to be filled with a different kind of atmosphere, full of vitality.

Zhang Jianguo and Li Hongmei personally came to the train station to pick them up.

After a few years apart, Zhang Jianguo's skin had become darker, but his physique appeared more robust.

He was wearing a polyester short-sleeved shirt with a pen clipped to his pocket, and spoke with a strong voice, looking every bit like a boss.

Li Hongmei has changed even more. She has cut her hair short and neat, wears a dress and high heels, has bright eyes and a capable demeanor. She no longer shows any trace of the cautiousness she had in Beijing.

"Brother Liang Yi, Sister An, we've been waiting for you!"

Zhang Jianguo strode forward, firmly grasped Liang Yi's hand, and then warmly greeted An Min.

"You must be tired from your journey! Let's go home and settle in first. Hongmei has already prepared a meal at home!"

They got into a brand-new minivan, which Zhang Jianguo used to haul goods from his factory.

The car drove on a wide cement road, with factories and shops on both sides.

Even during the day, many neon signs are still lit, displaying names such as dance hall, seafood restaurant, and electronic components, offering a dazzling array of options.

Pedestrians hurried along the street, dressed in various styles. Many young people wore jeans and floral shirts, looking particularly energetic.

It's really different from the capital.

"This place... has changed so much."

Liang Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"This is just the beginning!"

Zhang Jianguo skillfully steered the wheel, his tone filled with pride.

“It’s changing every day! Our factory area was just a wasteland last year, and now the third phase of the factory is almost finished. The policies are good, and there are many Hong Kong and Taiwanese businessmen coming here. There are so many opportunities, it just depends on whether you have the courage to do it.”

Li Hongmei continued the conversation, saying to An Min, "Sister An, it's good that you've come."

“It’s different here than in the north. Nobody here is always wondering how you got your house or how you made your money.”

"Everyone is quick-witted, thinking about how to seize opportunities, how to make money, and how to live a good life."

When they arrived at Zhang Jianguo and Li Hongmei's home, they found that they had already bought a spacious apartment in a newly built residential area nearby. Although the decoration wasn't luxurious, it was fully equipped with a refrigerator, color TV, and washing machine, allowing An Min and Liang Yi to truly experience the convenience and affluence of life in the South.

Over the next few days, Zhang Jianguo and Li Hongmei took them on a tour of various places.

The electronics factory was already quite large, with the production lines humming away.

The workers were busy producing parts for radios and tape recorders.

Zhang Jianguo said that they are now mainly doing OEM work for several large factories in Hong Kong, and they have so many orders that they can't keep up with the demand.

"Brother Liang, you've come at the perfect time."

Zhang Jianguo patted Liang Yi on the shoulder.

“You have a technical background and a quick mind. Help me keep an eye on the production process and quality control. My business is expanding, and I need someone from my own team to manage it. I don’t trust outsiders.”

Looking at the modern equipment and smelling the familiar scent of engine oil, Liang Yi's eyes regained their sparkle.

The frustrations from working at the research institute seemed to find an outlet here.

Li Hongmei then pulled An Min aside and said, "Sister An, you're so well-educated and speak foreign languages. It's such a waste for you to stay at home."

"Many foreign trade companies need someone like you right now. Or..."

Li Hongmei lowered her voice: "What can we do ourselves? Look at this street, how many people from the north are doing business? Those who run restaurants, sell clothes, and deal in electronic watches, they've all made a fortune!"

As Anmin watched the bustling crowds on the street and listened to the various accents of bargaining around her, her mind began to race.

She saw many blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, as well as some businessmen in suits carrying mobile phones.

She suddenly realized that her Russian language and translation skills might not be useless here.

In the evening, the family gathered together for dinner.

Si'an and Shouye have already become familiar with the neighbor's children, chattering away about the Cantonese words they just learned.

Liang Yi took a sip of his drink and said to Zhang Jianguo, "Jianguo, I'll take over the technical management of your factory. I'll definitely manage it well for you."

An Min smiled and said to Li Hongmei, "Hongmei, I'd like to take a look first. See what kind of people the foreign trade companies here need, or... like you said, could the two of us sisters also think about starting a small business?"

Since they were already there, the two of them had this idea in mind.

They couldn't compete with Li Hongmei and Zhang Jianguo in business, but the two were willing to help them.

Perhaps they can find their place here.

My darlings, my new book will be released on the 29th! It's called "Moving to the Countryside with My Mother After Her Remarriage, My Three Stepbrothers Spoil Me to the Bone."

[Rebirth and arranged marriage / Slapping faces and punishing scum / Portable space / Beloved in a new era / Sweet romance / Medical skills]

After Jiang Ningning and her sister Jiang Wenwen perished together, they were both reborn.

This time, Jiang Wenwen chose to stay in the city with her father.

She didn't want to endure the hardships of rural life for even a single day.

Jiang Ningning looked at her sister's relief and sneered inwardly.

She was tormented by her stepmother, bullied by her siblings, pushed into a living hell, and married to a gambling addict husband.

Jiang Wenwen should take this good life if she wants it.

She chose to go to the countryside with her mother. This time, she not only wanted to protect her mother, but also to reclaim her grandfather's property that had been embezzled by her scumbag father.

The golden finger that was stolen in the previous life has been recognized as its master in this life.

Jiang Ningning immediately embarked on a massive shopping spree, stockpiling supplies and enjoying a wonderful trip to the countryside.

Unexpectedly, Su Hui, the mother, found true love in the countryside and remarried to a tough, upright retired soldier in the village.

Her three domineering stepbrothers in the Lin family spoiled her rotten.

Big Brother: You dare mess with my sister? You've got to ask my fists first!
Second Brother: Ningning, what do you want to do? I'll help you!

Third Brother: You tried to scheme against my sister? I'll make you pay for everything!

Lu Linfeng, a sick and weak educated youth whom I rescued on a whim, has a mysterious identity and seems to have ill intentions.

Jiang Ningning was afraid that he would starve or die of illness, which would ruin her good deed of saving a life.

She would give him any good food or useful items she had, which he interpreted as her liking him.

Lu Linfeng, who was the first to succumb, didn't care anymore; he was determined to marry this woman.

Jiang Wenwen, who lived in the city, was dumbfounded to see Jiang Ningning living such a successful life.

Having stolen my sister's good match, why is my life even more miserable than when I was sent to the countryside in my previous life?
