Chapter 185 Bringing Me Joy and Happiness (The Finale)

After returning from the United States, Anmin's mental state was largely resolved.

She still felt that her son's path was more orthodox, but she no longer denied the value of her daughter's choice.

Liang Yi, on the other hand, is more open-minded. He often shows off the prototype of the app designed by his daughter to his old business friends, his words full of pride.

He even made a special phone call to Zhang Jianguo and Li Hongmei in Ireland.

His desire to show off was impossible to conceal.

Anmin looked at him like this and shook her head helplessly.

That's why Si'an and Liang Yi are the closest; their father fully supports her.

As Si'an said, the times are indeed moving forward rapidly.

With the booming development of the internet economy, traditional foreign trade is facing pressure to transform.

Liang Yi and An Min's company, thanks to its long-standing clients and stable channels, was not completely overwhelmed, but it did feel the chill.

During the video call, Si'an keenly sensed her parents' exhaustion and a hint of anxiety stemming from their work.

A year later, Si'an graduated early with excellent grades.

She had no desire to linger in Silicon Valley and resolutely boarded a flight back to China, choosing to return home and take over her parents' business.

Looking at her daughter's confident and composed demeanor, Anmin kept saying how good it was that she was back.

Si'an was not in a hurry to take over.

She first joined the company as an intern, learning the most basic order tracking and customs declaration processes to gain a deeper understanding of the company's operating model and pain points.

She discovered that her parents' company, which they had painstakingly built over many years, had a solid foundation.

However, it is almost entirely lacking in digital marketing, online channel development, and brand building, and relies heavily on intermediaries.

After spending six months figuring out the situation, Si'an walked into her father's office with a detailed upgrade plan.

Liang Yi put on his reading glasses, and the more he looked, the more serious his expression became.

The plan not only includes forward-looking planning, but also solid data support and clear implementation steps.

“Dad, we can’t abandon traditional trade channels; they are our foundation. But we must establish our own online presence, directly reach end consumers, and build our own brands so that we can firmly grasp profits and control.”

Si'an's gaze was intense, and her tone was firm.

Liang Yi pondered for a moment, then looked up and smiled, saying, "Good, you're right. I dared to break the iron rice bowl back then, and today my daughter dares to break the old ways. Dad supports you."

With her father's support, Si'an's reforms progressed rapidly.

She assembled a young e-commerce team, built a multilingual company website and e-commerce platform, and used her knowledge of user experience to optimize every aspect of the shopping process.

She even persuaded her mother to appear on camera, filming a series of short videos showcasing the product's manufacturing process and quality.

Anmin was initially reluctant, but for the sake of the company, she gritted her teeth and went ahead. Unexpectedly, her calm demeanor and professional explanations attracted many customers who valued quality.

Meanwhile, his younger brother Shouye also performed exceptionally well in the army.

After graduating from military academy, he started as a platoon leader at the grassroots level. He was hardworking, had excellent military skills, and was good at leading troops. He was highly recognized by his superiors and subordinates and his position was steadily promoted.

Occasionally, when he takes leave to go home, he is dressed in his military uniform, standing tall and straight, and his words are full of responsibility and commitment, which makes Anmin feel gratified and proud.

He has quite a bit of Liang Yi's style back then.

Although the siblings have taken different paths, they both shine in their respective fields, respect each other, and have a very close relationship.

The company's transformation was not smooth sailing, and it encountered problems such as supply chain adjustments and growing pains in online promotion.

But Sian always manages to find solutions thanks to its keen market insight and innovative thinking.

Over the years, the company has not only stabilized its traditional foreign trade base, but its online business has also flourished.

They launched several successful proprietary brands, and their annual turnover increased several times over, becoming a model of successful transformation for traditional foreign trade enterprises.

During this process, Si'an also met her true love. At an industry forum, she met Lin Fan, a young talent engaged in intelligent logistics development.

Lin Fan was attracted by Si An's intelligence, courage, and the occasional signs of fatigue.

The two chatted about industry trends and life ideals, and naturally came together because they admired each other.

Two years later, the two got married, and Lin Fan also came to the company.

Lin Fan's technical background perfectly complements Si An's need for in-depth supply chain optimization. The two are not only life partners but also the best business partners.

It was another weekend evening, and Anmin and Liang Yi were sitting in the courtyard of their villa, bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

In the distance, Si'an and Lin Fan were leading their son as he toddled across the grass.

Although Shouye was unable to return due to his mission, he had just sent back his new military medals and a family photo.

In the photo, he is wearing a crisp military uniform, with an extra star on his epaulettes, and his gentle and beautiful wife stands beside him, both smiling happily.

Looking at everything before him, Liang Yi took An Min's hand and gently stroked her old ring that she had worn for decades.

This was a gift from Liang Yi to An Min shortly after their marriage.

Unexpectedly, so many years have passed since I put it on.

“Min, looking back on this life, through thick and thin, we’ve argued and fought, but the best decision we ever made was coming to the South together and supporting this family.”

"Now the children have grown up and are walking more steadily and further than we imagined."

He paused, his voice becoming even gentler: "You've suffered so much these past years, worrying and troubling me."

Anmin looked at her children and grandchildren, her eyes etched with wrinkles, yet filled with happiness and contentment.

She deliberately snorted and turned her face away: "Don't give me that, you're just good at saying nice things."

But her slightly reddened eyes and the way she clasped her hands betrayed her feelings.

Liang Yi smiled and took a small velvet box out of his pocket.

Inside was a brand new, exquisitely designed diamond ring, sparkling brilliantly in the sunset.

"Keep the old things safe; they're a testament to our hard times. The new ones represent our good days. From now on, let me stay by your side, enjoy our retirement, and travel the world together. How about that?"

Anmin looked at the ring, then at her husband's sincere smile, and then at her children and grandchildren all around her.

"You're getting old, and you're still trying to do this kind of thing like young people. Fine, I'll listen to you."

"So what if you're old? Who says you can't give someone a ring when you're old? Here, let me put it on your finger."

Liang Yi released An Min's hand, took the ring out of the box, removed the old ring, and put the new one on An Min's finger.

This ring was secretly designed by him, Si'an, and Shouye, without Anmin's knowledge.

The flower vines entwined on the ring are Anmin's favorite jasmine flowers.

After putting on the ring, Liang Yi looked at the hand that had been with him through half a lifetime of trials and tribulations, and lowered his head to kiss it.

"Thank you, Minmin, thank you for coming into my world."

It gives me joy, it gives me happiness, it gives me true love.

An Min turned her head away in embarrassment. Not far away, Si An and Lin Fan had already left at some point.

They were sensible enough to see this and probably didn't want to disturb them.

"We've lived a whole life together, and you're still saying such mushy things."

"So what? I'll keep telling you this for the rest of my life, until you can't hear me anymore, until you don't want to listen anymore."

Liang Yi stood up and hugged An Min, their fingers intertwined.

The best companion in life is to meet the person you love most and walk hand in hand through life.
