Didn’t they say we got new business?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Ruan was stunned, “Wasn’t the printing factory doing well? Why is it suddenly closing again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Jianxin shook his head, “The performance has always been poor, and we haven’t been paid for two months. I just didn’t tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he began to explain the situation as he understood it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yanbei Printing Factory’s main business was printing books, documents, materials, promotional items, and other types of print materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the popularization of digitalization, the business had been shrinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, a few large orders from old state-owned enterprise clients were sustaining it, barely keeping it operational.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, due to various reasons such as equipment aging, market competition, and increased environmental regulations, the factory had lost half its clients in the last six months and was now in a stage where expenses exceeded income.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They used to mainly seek the leaders to see if there was any possibility of easing the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to her father’s account, Wen Ruan took a deep breath, feeling a mix of complex emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their family and her father’s side of the relatives originally lived in villages outside the North Third Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There used to be many small micro-printing factories there; calling them factories was actually a bit of a stretch as they were more like small workshops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pay was very low, there was no social insurance, not to mention any benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite this, it still provided a relatively stable income for the local villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, as the area started to plan for subways and parks, developers flocked in, and the villages began to be demolished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure people’s livelihoods, the government re-planned and attracted investments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, they established a formal printing company, Yanbei Printing Factory, which hired these workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wages increased, they started paying for five types of insurance, and everything became more stable; everyone was happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was back in 2008.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep blue uniforms, spacious and bright workshops, upscale printing machines, and a clean, tidy warehouse full of materials…This was her father’s favorite topic after meals and also a common topic at family gatherings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the job at this printing factory, even though their resettlement housing had yet to be finalized, everyone was still coping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, even this job was at risk, and emotions were running high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, many were still renting houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…After hearing Wen Jianxin’s description, Qian Guixiang asked urgently, “So what should we do? You are in your fifties now, it will definitely be hard to find a job, and you’re not of retirement age yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last year, buying this house had drained all their savings, and now Wen Ruan was still paying the mortgage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were to live off their savings, depending on their daughter to support them, they would be extremely anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, considering Wen Ruan’s boyfriend was so outstanding, if he knew about their family’s situation, would he think differently of Wen Ruan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Jianxin sighed deeply, “Let’s see what the leaders say; if it comes to it, I’ll change jobs and see what else I can do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was responsible for equipment maintenance at the factory, but that equipment was already on the verge of obsolescence; finding a similar job would definitely be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, what a mess. Just when things were looking up for Ruannuan, and we bought a new house. But now…,” Qian Guixiang sighed and sat down, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have quit my job two years ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had worked in a textile company for several years, but due to allergic rhinitis and other health issues, she often fell ill and was hospitalized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Wen Ruan came back from Imperial City, she persuaded her to quit her job and rest at home to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her anxious parents, Wen Ruan pursed her lips and said, “Dad, Mom, I also have something to tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the matter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An old colleague from my previous company in Imperial City contacted me yesterday,” Wen Ruan sat up straight, looking at her parents, “He said the group plans to establish a subsidiary in Yan City, on a very large scale, with over 200 employees.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?” Qian Guixiang’s eyes lit up, “Is that Star Cloud International?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was deeply impressed by the first company her daughter had worked for after graduation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A real major group with a market value of several billions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was particularly prestigious to talk about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Ruan nodded, “Yes, it’s Star Cloud International Media Group. That old colleague mentioned that the vice president in charge of this subsidiary admires me a lot and wants me to come over as a leader. The office is still in Yan City, but the salary standard is based on those of Imperial City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah! How much money is that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Around thirty thousand,” said Wen Ruan calmly, her gaze slightly averted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she was only telling part of the truth, such as the salary standard, which would definitely be executed according to local standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had to lie to achieve her goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That much! My goodness!” Qian Guixiang stood up excitedly, “I remember there are also year-end bonuses and the like, wouldn’t that bring her income on par with Gu… financial executives?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She originally meant to say Gu Cheng, but worried her daughter might feel uncomfortable, she quickly corrected herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Jianxin’s face also flushed with excitement, “This is great news! Is this certain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A monthly salary of thirty thousand was about the level of a deputy general in their factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason they were so eager for their daughter to marry was also because they wanted her to find a good match early on, so that her life could be easier later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their daughter could earn a salary from Imperial City while working in Yan City, that would indeed be a stroke of good fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would be able to rest easy afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is certain, but…” Wen Ruan paused for a moment, biting her lip, “Mom and Dad, you know I’m now 29, just at the right age for marriage and childbirth. The group is worried that I might suddenly take maternity leave and disrupt the creation of the subsidiary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, if I want to be a leader there, I must not marry or have children for the next two years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finally said what she had prepared for a long time, she instantly felt relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A monthly salary of around thirty thousand, six types of social insurance and housing fund, two months of year-end bonus, various subsidies, bringing the annual salary to over four hundred thousand. A BMW car every year, a house every three years. If I perform well, I might even become an executive of the subsidiary. Mom and Dad, what do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Jianxin took a deep breath, furrowing his brows in thought, “This…”Qian Guixiang’s face showed an extremely conflicted expression, “But… Tang Song is such a good young man, will he wait for you? What if he finds someone else later?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact of Wen Ruan’s words was too strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An annual salary of four hundred thousand, executive position, this was an opportunity for their daughter to achieve great success!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I have my own career and become better, he will love me even more,” Wen Ruan said confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, turning her gaze to her father, she said earnestly, “Star Cloud International is one of the largest media companies in the country. If I become an executive, I should be able to allocate some printing business to Yanbei Printing Factory, which would revitalize the factory, and our relatives would owe our family favors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after Zhao Mingying spoke yesterday, she immediately came up with this idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was originally to persuade her family, coincidentally aligning with her father facing the crisis of unemployment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made her words even more persuasive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact on her parents was even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many things can happen over several years, perhaps there will be a turning point?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song, oh Tang Song! For you, I even lied to my own parents!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you ever dare to disappoint me, I’ll eat your younger brother!\u003C\u002Fp>",1427,"2026-06-06T12:09:12.835Z",1,"novelbin.me","32ecb694d26addbad01c856eecb130b745eb6b4c47d7f931aba64a9b7027f0c6","charm-point-maxed-out-inheriting-game-assets-chapter-426","charm-point-maxed-out-inheriting-game-assets-chapter-424",1887,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcharm-point-maxed-out-inheriting-game-assets-cover.jpg"]
