Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

One day later, after everything had been settled, Miles left here under everyone's seeing-off.

The satisfied Miles happened to see a familiar man when he arrived at the station; he hesitated slightly but still went up and took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, are you Mr. Ma?"

The man was Ma Xianjin. The reason he was still in Chema City was to handle some other matters. Seeing this strange foreign man before him, Ma Xianjin politely said: "It's me. May I ask who you are..."

After briefly introducing himself, Ma Xianjin suddenly realized and said: "So the foreigner Mr. Jiang mentioned is you."

Miles smiled calmly: "Mr. Ma, there is something I would like to ask you."

Ma Xianjin was easygoing in dealing with people, so he nodded at the moment: "Alright, go ahead."

Miles organized his words slightly, then asked: "Mr. Ma, you came to Chema City this time also to cooperate with Mr. Jiang, right? Like me, both for the sales channels of those products, is that so?"

Ma Xianjin nodded: "More or less that meaning, but actually I was invited by Mr. Jiang. Otherwise I really wouldn't know about this matter."

After saying that, he smiled again: "But in the end, didn't he still cooperate with you? Sigh. Although it's a bit regrettable, I'm also happy for Mr. Jiang. Having an excellent foreign partner is also a great thing for Mr. Jiang's company."

Miles was somewhat surprised. Clearly the cooperation had failed, yet Ma Xianjin showed no sign of disappointment at all. His inner doubts grew more serious, and he hurriedly asked: "Mr. Ma, could it be... this is just a play you and Mr. Jiang put on? To make me take the initiative to find Mr. Jiang to discuss cooperation?"

"A play?" Ma Xianjin looked even more confused than him at this moment. He laughed, unable to make heads or tails of it: "You're talking about cooperation? No no no, when Mr. Jiang came to me to discuss channel cooperation, I was truly interested, which is why I came to Chema City to find him. I think you might really have misunderstood something."

After saying that, it was Miles's turn to be greatly shocked. When he saw Ma Xianjin, he had felt that the conversation between Jiang Wenyu and Ma Xianjin back then was nothing but making a scene, a performance put on for him. But now it seemed that was not the case.

Understanding this, Miles went from shock to a daze, then shook his head with a wry smile. No matter what, this round was won by Jiang Wenyu, but he obviously didn't care anymore.

The matter of cooperation had already been settled. Now Miles had nothing else to consider. From all these aspects, Jiang Wenyu was indeed a talent-type businessman. This made Miles even more satisfied. Even if this cooperation truly required accepting a price five percent higher, he would be completely willing.

"Then I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell, Mr. Ma."

After bidding farewell to Ma Xianjin, Miles got into the car. The car started after a moment and finally left Chema City.

Inside the company, Jiang Wenyu, Zhou Shi, Li Chen, the three of them were celebrating. Or rather, only Jiang Wenyu and Li Chen were celebrating. Zhou Shi was a very cold person; even though the two thanked him profusely, he didn't say much more.

Jiang Wenyu said: "No matter what, this success couldn't have happened without your help."

Zhou Shi waved his hand casually: "I don't care either way. I just helped you with a small favor. If you're willing, just take care of my Dianqi Cheng in the future."

"Hahaha, naturally no problem!" Jiang Wenyu was truly happy today. The channel for selling abroad had been settled like this, and with a well-known foreign appliance sales giant. This way, the company also had more confidence.

Li Chen also said: "This Miles is also somewhat interesting."

Jiang Wenyu nodded: "They are actually quite shrewd. They guessed we might be putting on an act, but coincidentally Mr. Ma came. A series of coincidences finally made him unable to hold back. In short, this successful cooperation couldn't have happened without the big shot's help."

That afternoon, Jiang Wenyu had Bai Mulin spread the news of the appliance company's cooperation with the foreign "Tranqui Electrical Enterprise" to all employees. Employees who had some experience in this line should be able to recognize this enterprise. Needless to say, the reputation of this enterprise was indeed great, and their employees immediately became full of fighting spirit!

And this news gradually spread in Chema City.

"Hey hey hey, did you hear? Our city's Miaoshou Jiang Electrical Appliance Company has cooperated with a big foreign enterprise!"

"Foreign? What's it called?"

"Seems to be called Tranqui Electrical Enterprise!"

"Tranqui what? Never heard of it."

"Oh well, anyway it's a very big enterprise, the kind that can cover the sky with one hand!"

"Wow, that's impressive. I remember that company was run by Jiang Wenyu, right? Too impressive!"

Small cities have this downside: news spreads very quickly. Once this news spread, all sorts of people wanting to build good relations with Jiang Wenyu and them came to the company one after another, and were all properly dealt with by them in the end.

"Sister Chen Lan, Brother Jiang is really amazing. He can even cooperate with foreign enterprises!"

That evening, Chen Lan finished a day's work and brought Nuan Nuan home, and happened to see Wu Miaomiao coming to visit.

The two were picking vegetables on the table at this time. Chen Lan smiled: "Amazing is amazing, but he will definitely be busier in the future. By the way, how is Chen Na doing at your school?"

Wu Miaomiao smiled: "Pretty good. At first I arranged a few students for her, and found the process was not bad. Then in the past few days, the music class was officially established. Some instruments and other things needed will be transported here in these few days!"

Hearing that Chen Na was doing fine, Chen Lan finally put her heart at ease. Now it was Wu Miaomiao's turn to ask: "What about the Clothing Factory?"

Chen Lan replied: "Not bad. Everyone is very motivated. But I always feel the factory is missing something..."

Before Chen Lan could elaborate, Wu Miaomiao immediately said: "I know. I often have this feeling too. When I look at the equipment in the school, I feel something is not quite right. It seems that in this era, these things should be more advanced. After all, those things in my school are actually leftovers from before."

Chen Lan nodded in agreement: "Mm, I have the same feeling. The factory is still using those old-fashioned sewing machines. The speed can't be increased, and the styles can't be changed. I've been thinking about whether to import a batch of more advanced machines, but I'm worried the employees won't be able to adapt."

Wu Miaomiao immediately said: "Given enough time, they will definitely adapt. Even if everyone doesn't adapt, there's no other way. After all, the times are changing. Back when telephone lines weren't popular here, we were used to running around everywhere. Now telephone lines are connected and phones are installed. When there's something, just call. That's adapting to the times."

What Wu Miaomiao said was not without reason. Money and such were small problems. Since the factory was handed over to Chen Lan to manage, she increasingly wanted to do well in clothing design. This clothing factory must follow the development of the times in the future. The old set of things was destined to be eliminated. It was precisely because she saw these things recently that she started thinking about these problems.

At the same time, this place was once the largest mall in Chema City, but now it was rarely visited by anyone.

Compared to a few days ago, this place looked even more desolate. The gate was half-open with no one managing it. Inside, miscellaneous items were piled up with no one taking care of it. The messy appearance seemed as if no one would come at all.

But in the only three-story building, there was a man sitting there with a face full of dejection. His eyes were sunken, his gaze was empty, he hadn't shaved his beard for several days, and his entire spirit seemed to have completely disappeared.

Apart from this, there was no one else here. All his subordinate employees had resigned. He had no money.

"Lost... lost, ahhh!"

He cried out in grief. The little money he had finally scraped together recently was finally lost completely. He now had not a penny in his pocket, only this mall left.

This was left by his father. He originally thought he would carry it forward and make it flourish in his own hands, but the result was that he lost the family fortune.

This was not only the reason for his grief and indignation. Another reason was the news spreading everywhere recently, saying that Jiang Wenyu's company had cooperated with a big foreign enterprise.

This matter made him even more annoyed and unwilling to accept it!

The frenzy in his heart made him unable to help but want to go get some money. But what could he do with no money in his pocket?

He finally turned his target to the entire mall, but was immediately interrupted by the only remaining rationality in his mind.

"No, no, absolutely not! I only have this mall left. Absolutely not..."

Saying this with his mouth, but what did he have to maintain the operation of this mall? He had no money to make any expenditures. People had left and the building was empty. Chema City's once only large mall could be considered ruined.

In the end, the hardships of life still made him give up the only shred of rationality left in his heart.

The day after that, Wang Tao began searching everywhere for a buyer willing to acquire this large mall, but looking across all of Chema City, who would be willing to buy? The mall industry is sluggish right now; no one wants to shoulder such a huge risk, not even those who once had a fairly good relationship with Wang Tao are willing to offer any help.

After a whole day, he had not found a single person willing to acquire this mall; he sat dejectedly in front of the mall's main entrance, and just when he was feeling lost, he happened to hear someone mentioning Jiang Wenyu's company, and at that moment, an idea suddenly struck him.

"Jiang Wenyu…"

……

On this evening, because Chen Lan had to work overtime today, Jiang Wenyu went to the Kindergarten early to pick up Nuan Nuan and returned home ahead of time; Xiao Nuannuan is also growing day by day, and before long she will enter Miao Miao's school to study, and every time he thinks of this, Jiang Wenyu still feels a little anticipation.

After returning home, Nuan Nuan went off to play by herself; Jiang Wenyu simply tidied up the clutter in the bedroom, and there wasn't much dust under the bed — presumably because Chen Lan cleans every day.

"Huh?"

Although there was no dust, Jiang Wenyu spotted something under the bed, reached out, and took it out.

It was a folded piece of paper; he curiously unfolded it and began to read.

In just a moment, Jiang Wenyu's expression abruptly changed, his gaze even trembling because of it, and he kept murmuring under his breath.

"Athena Pavilion… Entry Qualification?"
