Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

In order to expand production and purchase more sock knitting machines, Jin Yuanyuan decided to take out another loan from the bank to increase her capital investment and create more development opportunities.

She figured that since she was able to repay Zhu Hongying's ten million loan within the deadline, she should be able to get another ten million to fifteen million in loans. After all, Jin Yaya was a reputable company with a good credit history and substantial assets.

With this in mind, she went to the bank and filled out a loan application form. The bank staff replied that they would need to have their loan department colleagues come to investigate the relevant circumstances before they could decide how much of a loan Jin Yaya could receive.

We have to go through the process and wait.

However, this time the bank acted quickly. Within three days, someone contacted Jin Yuanyuan, saying they would come to Jinjia Village early the next morning to investigate her assets. Jin Yuanyuan also organized everyone to clean and tidy up the entire hosiery factory, inside and out. The factory buildings were clean and tidy, and even the warehouse had neatly stacked goods, presenting a positive and prosperous scene.

With the Chinese New Year approaching, Zhu Hongying, along with her aunt and a few others, went to deliver gifts to clients who had placed orders in various locations, working long hours every day. Cao Xiaoyu, following beside Jin Yuanyuan, seemed a little downcast. He had originally planned to go to England to find Jin Feiyan, but she had returned to Shanghai, saying the project had been completed ahead of schedule.

"You know what? I paid for her passport and visa. Now that she's back, all that money wasted. I even bought her plane ticket, which was very expensive." In this respect, Cao Xiaoyu is definitely a typical "small man" from the Yangtze River Delta region.

"How about we go to England in May or June when the weather's better? Your ticket should be reschedulable, right?"

"No way! I bought a discounted ticket, I can't change it or get a refund." Cao Xiaoyu was even more frustrated.

"Then... you should go. I'll give you time off. I'll talk to my mom about it." Jin Yuanyuan had no other choice.

"We'll see," Cao Xiaoyu sighed, and went back to sweeping the workshop floor.

When Ms. Zhang from the bank's loan department called, she said that she and her team leader had arrived at the entrance of the development zone. Jin Yuanyuan put on a light pink down jacket and ran to greet them.

Today's weather is extremely cold. Although the snow from the previous days has disappeared, it has frozen into thin ice, which shows no signs of melting at a high of minus four degrees Celsius.

This kind of weather is rare even in Hangzhou.

It was damp and cool, and although it wasn't raining, we were really relying on shivering to keep warm.

There was a white, newly updated Tesla Model 3 parked at the entrance. It had the new dual-motor all-wheel drive, and Jin Yuanyuan had even looked at it before and was quite tempted. But considering she wasn't going out much lately, buying a car would be a bit of a waste, so she decided to wait another six months and see how things went.

A man got out of the driver's seat. He was wearing a black suit, white shirt, and black tie. He looked very smart and capable, and his physique was quite good. He was obviously someone who worked out regularly. But when she looked at his face... Jin Yuanyuan was stunned.

This person turned out to be Zhang Dali, her first love from her student days.

Perhaps she was truly frozen stiff; Jin Yuanyuan stared at the man, speechless for a long time. Zhang Dali, smiling, walked over, hugged Jin Yuanyuan, and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you even recognize me?"

"You..." Jin Yuanyuan's voice was a little hoarse. Life is so dramatic, meeting unexpected people at unexpected times.

"I always thought you'd stay abroad and never come back. Now you're back to inherit the family business, aren't you? Sigh, the life of an only child from the Yangtze River Delta region is truly enviable." Zhang Dali smiled brightly and introduced her to her colleague, Ms. Zhang, who had come with her, "See, I knew it! When I saw the information that day, I said this person looked like someone I knew. Jin Yuanyuan, she was our class beauty back then, my first love and white moonlight."

"Indeed, the team leader has excellent judgment." Miss Zhang smiled beautifully.

However, Jin Yuanyuan still felt somewhat ashamed for going out in such a simple and unassuming manner. She secretly resolved that from now on, even when taking out the trash, she would dress up beautifully so as not to ruin her "white moonlight" image.

She and Zhang Dali were lovers during their student days.

Back then, Jin Yuanyuan transferred to a school in Shanghai during her senior year of high school. Her class was full of top students, and Jin Yuanyuan found the studies very tiring, becoming restless and sullen. Her deskmate was Zhang Dali, a tall boy who consistently achieved excellent grades and found studying effortless.

There are people like this in the world; others put in ten parts of effort, but he only needs one. For example, when it comes to memorizing a text, Jin Yuanyuan needs to read it at least three times, while Zhang Dali can recite most of it after reading it only once. And then there are math problems; there's no problem Zhang Dali can't solve.

Jin Yuanyuan couldn't figure out the problem, so she asked Zhang Dali for help. He didn't refuse at all; in fact, he seemed quite happy, saying that nobody in the class liked him because his grades were too good, making him seem aloof and unpopular. Looking at his innocent yet proud face, Jin Yuanyuan was moved.

Love during student days is pure and simple, with a straightforward routine between home and school. Every day, Jin Yuanyuan would wait for Zhang Dali on the pedestrian overpass near the school gate before they would walk into the school together. They would review the day's lessons and key points for the exams. With Zhang Dali by her side, Jin Yuanyuan suddenly found studying less difficult. She had to admit, Zhang Dali was indeed intelligent, and she liked intelligent people.

But student romances are often short-lived. Jin Yuanyuan went to Fudan University in Shanghai, while Zhang Dali went to Tsinghua University in Beijing. Such a cross-city relationship was unlikely to last. Especially since Jin Yuanyuan, shortly after starting university, began working extremely hard to qualify for a government-funded overseas study scholarship, studying day and night, she was so engrossed in her studies that Zhang Dali couldn't even find her.

At first, they would call each other and even write a few love letters. But later, as the various exams for studying abroad piled up, she felt even more dizzy and overwhelmed than during the college entrance exam. Whenever Jin Yuanyuan put down her books, all she wanted to do was lie down and sleep, completely ignoring Zhang Dali.

Zhang Dali panicked and took the train overnight from Beijing to Shanghai to find Jin Yuanyuan. However, Jin Yuanyuan was out for job interviews those days, and the two didn't see each other. This was a significant emotional blow to the young couple in love.

Zhang Dali also noticed a boy's jacket on Jin Yuanyuan's bed in her dorm room, which made him even more upset. He turned around and went back to Beijing, never contacting Jin Yuanyuan again.

By the time Jin Yuanyuan realized what was happening, her calls and letters to Zhang Dali went unanswered. But by then, she couldn't care less about her lover, because she had already opened the door to a much wider world.
