Chapter 1263 Return to City A
Chapter 1263 Return to City A
In about a day, the second hilltop was cleared up. Looking at the clean and tidy hilltop, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
Shen Xuening called out, "Everyone has worked hard. It's time to go home and get some rest."
"Time to go home, time to go home." Everyone echoed, started packing up their tools, and then went home.
Shen Xuening also went home.
Back home, Shen Xuening spoke to Shen Dong alone: "Dad, I have something to tell you. I'm leaving tomorrow, so I wanted to let you know in advance."
"Okay." Shen Dong put down what he was doing and walked towards Shen Xuening. "Ningning, what's up?"
Shen Xuening said, "Dad, please keep an eye on the land reclamation on that hill for me. If anything happens, call me immediately. If nothing happens, just follow my plan."
Shen Dong nodded: "I understand."
Shen Xuening still trusted Shen Dong; he was reliable and a good person. "Dad, I'll have to work hard for you from now on."
Shen Dong asked with concern, "I'm not tired, but you are. You'll be running back and forth between the two places. Can your body handle it?"
Shen Xuening said confidently, "Dad, I'm young, it'll be fine."
Shen Dong had his own understanding. He would help as much as he could, but there was really nothing he could do about it: "Ningning, Dad's abilities are limited, and there's not much I can do to help. I feel a little sorry."
Shen Xuening shook her head: "Dad, it's okay. As long as you do what I asked you to do, that's fine."
Shen Dong nodded emphatically: "I definitely will."
……
After a month of construction, the main structure of the kindergarten has been completed, and Yuan Qing is temporarily in charge of it. At this moment, Shen Xuening arrived at the kindergarten's temporary office.
Yuan Qing was organizing documents in his office. He was wearing black-rimmed glasses and looked somewhat serious and meticulous.
Shen Xuening reached out and knocked on the office door: "Are you busy?"
Yuan Qing looked up and saw Shen Xuening, and immediately became a little nervous: "President Shen."
Shen Xuening smiled slightly: "How have you been these past few days?"
Yuan Qing smiled nervously: "I think I can handle it. Ms. Shen, you can take a look at the documents. These are all documents that I just compiled. Please take a look." He held up the documents with both hands and handed them to Shen Xuening.
Shen Xuening did not refuse. She reached out and took it, then sat down and started reading.
Yuan Qing was really nervous. He didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. He slowly sat down to the side, waiting for Shen Xuening's "judgment".
Shen Xuening skimmed through the documents in her hands, reading intently for an hour before she finished. She had read most of the documents and then finally came to her senses, looking up at Yuan Qing: "The construction progress is good, the equipment purchase price is acceptable, and the staff recruitment is also going well. Once the kindergarten is built, it can open directly."
Yuan Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "I said I wouldn't let President Shen down."
Shen Xuening was very satisfied, not expecting her to be such a valuable employee: "You're very good. Just refine the details and then we can start recruiting students."
Yuan Qing was delighted: "I understand."
Shen Xuening was finally relieved: "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to do it well because you didn't have any experience, but you did a surprisingly good job. Very good."
Yuan Qing now spoke with more confidence: "It's because President Shen is willing to give me a chance, otherwise even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have been able to."
Shen Xuening promised, "If you can maintain this level of performance, the position of kindergarten director will be yours for the taking."
Yuan Qing pursed her lips, finally calming down: "Then thank you for your consideration."
"Do a good job." Shen Xuening got up and left the office.
……
Qin Zizhou was about to go out to find Shen Xuening when he unexpectedly saw her as soon as he stepped outside: "Where have you been?"
Shen Xuening said, "I went to the kindergarten."
Qin Zizhou asked with concern, "Is the kindergarten finished?"
Shen Xuening took Qin Zizhou's arm and entered the house: "Not yet, it's only been under construction for a month, but all the permits and certificates have been processed, and registration will begin soon."
Qin Zizhou said, "Then the progress is quite fast."
Shen Xuening was also satisfied with the progress. It seemed that entrusting things to capable people would achieve twice the result with half the effort, which saved her a lot of trouble: "Yes, school can start next year."
Qin Zizhou said, "You're starting more and more projects. Will they eventually spread to every industry?"
Shen Xuening shook her head: "I don't have such plans at the moment. My current plan is to launch skincare products."
Qin Zizhou asked, "Have you finished testing your skincare products?"
Shen Xuening nodded: "It's over. All four types have been completed. So far, there have been no adverse reactions or even any allergies. The feedback has been excellent, and many people want to repurchase."
Qin Zizhou affirmed, "Even my mom says your skincare products are good."
Shen Xuening said, "Everyone says it's very good."
Qin Zizhou changed the subject: "By the way, my mom told me that she's almost finished her skincare set. Could you get her another one?"
Shen Xuening blinked: "Why didn't Mom tell me?"
Qin Zizhou explained, "I mentioned it to her during a casual chat. She asked me to tell you when you have time that she knows you're busy, so she doesn't want to bother you."
Shen Xuening praised, "Mom is so considerate."
Qin Zizhou said jealously, "Of course! Mom likes you so much, I feel like she likes you even more than she likes me."
Shen Xuening suppressed a laugh: "That's for sure, my mother treats me like her own daughter."
Qin Zizhou said, "You are now the darling of our family. Besides your parents, your grandparents also love you very much. Your second uncle and aunt, your aunt and uncle, and Yao Yao all like you from the bottom of their hearts."
Shen Xuening raised her eyebrows, glanced at Qin Zizhou, and said playfully, "That would be my honor."
Qin Zizhou said earnestly, "No, it is my honor to marry you."
Shen Xuening laughed: "You're so good at talking. You can say more of these things. I love listening to you. Keep it up in the future."
Qin Zizhou made a gesture: "Yes, my dear wife."
……
Lu Zongyuan approached Zhang Qianwen again, his eyes filled with deep remorse: "Qianwen, can we talk?"
Zhang Qianwen didn't know how to face Lu Zongyuan, so she avoided his gaze: "I have nothing to talk to you about, let's not talk about it."
Lu Zongyuan said apologetically, "I want to talk to you, at least let me formally apologize to you, is that alright?"
Zhang Qianwen has come to terms with it. Being suddenly abandoned was painful, but so much time has passed that she has accepted it: "No need. You've already said enough, and I've accepted it. Let's remain friends from now on."
Lu Zongyuan felt a pang of pain in his heart: "I'm the one who's wronged you."
Zhang Qianwen said calmly, "No, no one has wronged anyone. We were just not meant to be. From now on, we'll just be friends. Lu Zongyuan, I loved you, really. But now you're no longer in my heart."
Lu Zongyuan was stunned.
Zhang Qianwen took a deep breath: "Lu Zongyuan, you are a good person, but the moment you abandoned me, it probably sealed our fate. Don't say these things anymore, and don't feel sorry. Let's part amicably, and everything will be alright."
Lu Zongyuan's eyes slowly reddened as he looked at Zhang Qianwen, his heart aching with tenderness: "Qianwen..."
Zhang Qianwen remained remarkably calm: "Don't feel sorry or regretful, everything is predestined."
Lu Zongyuan said, "Shall we talk again later?"
Zhang Qianwen shook her head: "Let's end this here and call it a day."
Lu Zongyuan tried to reach out and take Zhang Qianwen's hand, but Zhang Qianwen dodged him by turning to the side: "Qianwen, I'm sorry. I should have told you about it from the beginning."
Zhang Qianwen said, "Let's not dwell on the past; we should all look forward."
Lu Zongyuan was filled with remorse: "It's my fault, it's all my fault, Qianwen, I'm so sorry."
Zhang Qianwen shook her head, her mood unusually calm at this moment: "Lu Zongyuan, you are fine, but you will no longer belong to me. You should focus on getting better first."
Lu Zongyuan said, "I did this because of my illness. If my illness could be cured, I definitely wouldn't have done that."
Zhang Qianwen said, "There's no going back in life. Instead of regretting it, it's better to live your life well from now on."
Lu Zongyuan was filled with regret. He felt as if he was really going to lose Zhang Qianwen: "You... Qianwen, is there no chance at all?"
Zhang Qianwen evaded the question, saying, "Let's not talk about this. You should focus on getting better first. That's the most important thing."
Lu Zongyuan pursed his lips tightly: "Then I'll listen to you, we'll talk about it later."
Zhang Qianwen turned around and went back to her room.
Lu Zongyuan stood there for a long time before leaving.
……
Shen Xuening came to Zhang Qianwen's room after dark, specifically to check on her, as she hadn't seen her all day: "Are you feeling any better today?"
"Much better." Zhang Qianwen smiled slightly. "Aren't you going to spend time with your husband?"
"He's handling some matters, so I came to see you." Shen Xuening sat down next to Zhang Qianwen. "I'm going to City A tomorrow. When are you going back?"
Zhang Qianwen was clearly surprised: "You're going to City A so soon?"
Shen Xuening said, "The skincare products have entered the promotion stage, and I need to take charge of the overall situation. If you go back, I'll book your ticket as well."
Zhang Qianwen thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Lu Zongyuan is still here, and I'm a little worried about him. I'll stay with him for a few days until his condition stabilizes before I go back."
Shen Xuening tentatively asked, "Do you still like him?"
Zhang Qianwen thought about it seriously: "It seems like I don't like it that much anymore."
Shen Xuening said, "It's okay to like someone. The most important thing in life is to be happy. If you still like him, you can try to start over."
Zhang Qianwen shook her head: "Forget it, I don't want to talk about relationships right now, it's too hurtful."
Shen Xuening held Zhang Qianwen's hand and said with great strength, "Anyway, I support your decision. My best friend, I will always be your support."
Zhang Qianwen felt relieved: "Okay."
……
After leaving Zhang Qianwen's place, Shen Xuening went to see Grandpa Shen separately to talk about the tea garden. The autumn tea harvest had begun, and Grandpa Shen would have to work hard.
However, there's no need to worry too much. There's already a set procedure for tea-related matters, so everyone just needs to follow it.
Grandpa Shen was the main person in charge, so Shen Xuening told him the precautions just in case.
Grandpa Shen replied very seriously, "Xue Ning, Grandpa is still very strong and healthy. Don't worry, I will definitely do a good job of what you asked me to do."
Shen Xuening naturally trusted her grandfather: "I trust Grandpa, otherwise I wouldn't have entrusted this matter to him."
Grandpa Shen said, "After you go to City A, I guarantee your tea business will be just as good as it is now, and it will definitely not be worse than it is now."
Shen Xuening smiled slightly: "Okay, then I'll leave it to Grandpa."
Grandpa Shen nodded: "Don't worry."
With the tea matter resolved, Shen Xuening left. She returned to her room and used her phone to call the various managers to give them instructions.
The managers in the company and factory are all her confidants, people she trusts, with good character and ability, and there are no major problems.
After explaining everything, it was already 10 p.m. Qin Zizhou packed all his luggage by himself: "Is everything settled?"
Shen Xuening rushed over and hugged Qin Zizhou: "It's settled then. You can manage things remotely here. I can focus on the development of the Shen Group for a while from now on."
Qin Zizhou said with complete confidence, "You will definitely succeed."
Shen Xuening said happily, "Thank you for your kind words."
……
The next morning, Shen Baohong drove the two to the airport. For the next period of time, Shen Baohong no longer needed to film Shen Xuening's daily life, but instead used the time to update short dramas. Fans were already looking forward to the short dramas they filmed.
With the addition of the short drama, Shen Xuening's account will definitely not lose popularity; in fact, it should increase it considerably. There's no need to worry at all.
The advertisement has already been placed; short dramas will begin airing tonight...
Shen Baohong will continue to manage Shen Xuening's account, and will begin cooperating with Feng Xiaolan starting tomorrow.
Feng Xiaolan has already developed the qualities of a director, and some big directors want to work with her. However, Feng Xiaolan is not ungrateful and remains unmoved by their offers. She continues to work for Shen Xuening, knowing that Shen Xuening doesn't need her.
If it weren't for Shen Xuening, she wouldn't know what she would be doing now, so she has always been grateful to Shen Xuening.
In short, even though Shen Xuening's focus has shifted, everything at Xifulai is still functioning normally and has formed a complete system.
Everyone was reluctant to see her leave, but Shen Xuening had to do business, so they could only see her off.
Qin Zizhou was the happiest, because he could still see Shen Xuening every day and spend every night with her.
The two arrived in City A in the afternoon. The large apartment they planned to live in had been cleaned in advance, so they could move in directly.
Shen Xuening hugged Qin Zizhou and said softly, "I hope Mr. Qin will give me a lot of guidance in the future."
Qin Zizhou's heart seemed to melt, and he hugged Shen Xuening back, saying, "I will also ask for your guidance, Miss Shen."
Shen Xuening smiled gently: "No problem."
After resting in the room for one night, the two went to work at their respective companies the next day.
