Chapter 229 Things are changing
Zhou Jingmo sat in the audience with his hands on his knees, a hint of pride on his face. His voice was contemptuous but carried a sense of authority. "This is my wife, Ji Ning. She is the president of Haishang Lao and the owner of ten chain stores."
"This……"
The boss of Haishang Lao had never appeared in front of everyone, but no one expected that she was such a young and beautiful lady. This really shocked the minds of these old folks!
Before, they thought Zhou Jingmo was a rising star in the business world, but his wife had achieved some success earlier than him.
Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped to the ground.
She is not a vase, but a person who is more successful than Zhao Yashuang in career and richer than the Xue family!
Especially Xue’s parents, they had previously said that this girl had no support from her family.
But she doesn't need to be a rich second generation, because she is the king!
Father Xue also realized that he had chosen the wrong person, and quickly shook off the old woman's hand, with an expression of disgust that he did not hide.
"Let me introduce myself again. I am Ji Ning, and I am also the founder of Haishang Lao."
Ji Ning smiled, neither humble nor overbearing, "Our Haishang Lao is currently mainly developing in Yuecheng, but I have already made plans to develop in the nearby Lucheng and Xuancheng, and strive to open 100 chain stores within two years while ensuring quality."
“Within five years, we will become the number one catering brand in China!”
This was not just bragging, but something she had actually done in her previous life! It was just that everything was accelerated and done ahead of schedule in this life.
Xue Zhen stared at Ji Ning closely.
Women who work in business are so cool!
She's glowing all over!
It was time to leave. Father Xue kept muttering, "I think our company still needs to go public. You see, the best companies in Yuecheng have all gone public, so we have to speed up. What that little girl can do, can't our Xue family do it? We have been building this business for so many years!"
He talked for a long time, and found that Xue's mother did not agree with him as usual. She frowned unhappily and asked, "Are you listening to me?"
Xue's mother raised her eyelids and said, "No."
The corner of Xue's father's eye twitched, "I think you are also possessed by evil spirits like Xue Zhen. I can't stay in this house for another day..."
Just as he was about to get off the car, Xue's mother's desolate voice came from behind him, "What were you doing with that old woman just now? Flirting under my nose?"
Her tone was calm, but it was not hard to hear the question in it.
Xue Zhen looked at her mother in surprise, then held her hand again.
She looked calm, but in fact her teeth were chattering and her hands were cold and shaking, as if she had been enduring this for a long time.
She was a little surprised that her mother finally asked the question, but also a little distressed because she didn't know when her mother had already grown white hair.
Father Xue pressed his forehead in annoyance, "Didn't I make a mistake? I thought she was the boss of Haishang Lao. I washed my hands of it many times afterwards. I made such a big sacrifice for the good of our family, for the good of you and our daughter! It's fine if you don't sympathize with me, but you're still picking on me?"
"What about Yanyan from the foot massage parlor in the south city, Nannan from the hair salon in the east city, and Huahua and Linlu..."
She mentioned a bunch of names, and Xue's father went from being shocked at first to being silent later.
Xue's mother knew that he was having affairs with other women, but he didn't care. He claimed to others that it was because Xue's mother couldn't give birth to a son, so everyone understood him and even thought he was very magnanimous.
But he didn't expect that she knew so much about everyone, without missing a single one.
What he didn't know was that these were thorns that had been piercing Xue's mother's heart over the years. The thorns were stuck there and could not be pulled out. Every time he went out, they would be pierced again and again.
My heart is already full of holes that can never heal.
Xue's mother remained calm and said, "I can't live like this anymore."
Father Xue sneered, "Go ahead, go ahead. I want to see if your family can accept you! From the moment you marry me, you have no home other than the Xue family!"
"Don't be afraid." Xue Zhen held her mother's hand, "From now on, we are a family. Wherever you and I are is home."
"You? Without my Xue family, you are nothing!"
"I've found a job." Xue Zhen pursed her lips, her face was pale, but her eyes were bright. She knew the road ahead would be difficult, but at least she wouldn't feel so depressed. "I'll be an apprentice in a tailor shop. I'll support my mother. We, mother and daughter, will depend on each other and support ourselves."
Xue's mother looked at her with tears in her eyes and held her hand tightly. "Okay, let's work hard together."
She would never force her daughter again. Her life was a mess and she was afraid she would make the same mistakes.

Ji Ning also bought a building next to Zhou Jingmo's office building. Side by side with his building, they stood there uniquely like two steel giants.
Now people in Yuecheng no longer call her "Mrs. Zhou", but respectfully address her as "Ms. Ji".
But in fact, since the company went public, her work and life have been no different from usual, except that she has received a lot of strange and admiring looks.
The two companies are close to each other, so during the lunch break, they can hold hands and have a secret date in a newly built shopping mall nearby. This is the only little interest for these two career-minded people.
Lu Xing also went to high school. On this day, Ji Ninggang gave him a large stack of papers and asked someone to deliver them to him.
In those days, there were no such papers as "Huanggang Secret Papers" and "Three Years of College Entrance Examination and Five Years of Simulation", so her mother-in-law asked someone to sort them out by hand. They were all the essence, which could be considered as special treatment for Lu Xing.
Even Ji Ning couldn't think of this in such detail, but Zhou's mother actually thought of it.
"Mr. Ji, the company is now recruiting a new batch of employees and is interviewing them. Would you like to go and take a look?" Wang Shuqin walked in and said expressionlessly. She was somewhat of a robot in the company.
Ji Ning nodded while sitting in the boss chair, "Okay."
If a company wants to expand, considering talent is a very important step.
She walked into the next room. Through the glass, she could see the people in the interview room, but they couldn't see her.
She saw a familiar face among the applicants and immediately looked confused. She pointed at the person and asked, "What position is he applying for?"
This was not the first time that the HR manager had accompanied Ji Ning to look at job openings. He thought the man was someone Ji Ning knew, so he reminded her of this. He quickly walked up with the man's information and said, "He's applying for a waiter position."
Ji Ning lazily supported her cheekbone with one hand, while holding the documents between her long fingers of the other hand, her long and thick eyelashes drooped slightly.
Well... this is indeed something he can do.
Fortunately, she found out, otherwise she would have really recruited him.
The HR manager watched her expression and whispered, "Originally, his experience and resume are more than enough for a waiter position. I'm also confused as to why he would apply for the position of waiter, so you see..."
Ji Ning crossed her hands and said decisively, "Let's remove him. Just say thank you for his support, but he doesn't meet our company's employment standards for the time being."
The manager looked confused, "Huh?"
I thought President Ji would give him more care. Looking at his looks and temperament, being a waiter would be a waste of his talent. In the end, he is not even allowed to be a waiter?
But the manager didn't ask any more questions and silently wrote down Ji Ning's request.
After the application process was completed, he walked in front of everyone and announced the list of admitted candidates.
