Winter went, spring came. Three years later.
Huo Family’s twins were three years old, while Da Qiao was twenty-six years old.
The years seem to have treated her particularly favorably, leaving no traces of time on her face or temperament.
She was still the same as when she graduated; as fresh and tender as a flower bud that had just bloomed on the branch. So delicate and tender that it was extremely enviable.
Cai Ru Nan, who gave birth to a son but couldn't recover her shape, howled with envy every time she saw her.
Although Cai Ru Nan graduated one year later than Da Qiao, her son was one year older than Huo Family's twins. Since she couldn't have a daughter herself, she coveted Huo Family's little treasure.
One phrase she often said to her son was to work hard on earning money so that he could marry Huo Family's little treasure back once he grew up!
Can’t be helped. Although Tang Family was rich, they had no advantage when compared with Huo Family and Qiao Family.
What’s more, his appearance wasn’t stunning enough. Simply made her heart stuffed!
Huo Chi knew that Cai Ru Nan coveted his precious daughter this quickly, his nose almost became crooked from anger!
If it weren't for the fact that she was Da Qiao's friend, he would definitely kick them out!
In the past few years, the communication industry had developed very rapidly with the support of the state. It was an unstoppable force that had penetrated into people's lives and played an increasingly important role.
Huo Chi's company was the first to come in contact with the communication industry. Of course, there were other companies before them, but many of them closed down without making any achievements.
While their company kept updating with new technologies. From the initial digital beeper machine to a beeper that can input characters, and then to the cellular phone. They have played the leading sheep role.
This allowed them to earn a lot of money.
Starting this year, cellular phones were gradually eliminated because their company launched a new mobile phone... PHS.
Compared with cellular phone, PHS had more functions. What’s more, it was light and portable. Quite convenient to carry. The reduction in size also reduced the price and cost. In this way, it can benefit more people.
The main research and development of these technologies came from Huo Chi. That’s why, along with the past few years’ development, his shares in the company increased more and more and his position had become more and more important.
The other two partners were more or less unreconciled. Look at him, there was no comparison. Their brains weren’t as nimble as Huo Chi's. If they left the company, they would definitely be eliminated in the future.
What's more, they had no irreconcilable conflicts. So far, the three of them were still working together.
With the expansion of the business, they were no longer limited to the market in the capital. One of them went to Hu City and the other went to Shen City.
In this way, it had not only helped them occupy the market, but also avoid more conflicts.
...
In addition to the rapid development of Huo Chi's company, the development of Qiao's three branches were also very impressive.
As time gradually entered the 1990s, the concept of supermarkets was also introduced into the country.
Qiao Zhen Jun had been doing business during these past few years. He was no longer the dull rural boy he was back then. He had keenly grasped this new concept all at once.
So he made a decisive decision and renamed all the stores as supermarkets. Qiao's second branch’s supermarket had now grown to five chain stores in the capital.
Qiao Zhen Jun was planning to expand to other cities.
First branch's An Ping’s restaurant was very famous in the capital now. The three store were all located in the most prosperous areas. People would come here when they get married or hold a dinner banquet. They regarded spending in An Ping’s restaurant as a matter of face.
Fifth branch was also doing well in the transportation industry.
Qiao Zhen Min's brains and communication skills can be said to be innate. He had always been above his siblings. So even if he was lagging behind, he could catch up.
He now had his branches in several cities. While Wu Kang Bao, who separated from him, had long since disappeared from the transportation industry.
One time he met with a client. That person happened to be from Nanshan County. When talking about Wu Kang Bao, he couldn't help but lament.
After the two separated, Wu Kang Bao retained the name Anshun Transportation Company and continued to develop in Nanshan County.
Under Yao Xin Xin's bewitching, he not only transferred half of the shares to Yao Xin Xin's name, but also recruited her elder cousin brother into the company as well.
At first, things went smoothly. Yao Xin Xin’s elder cousin brother also acted very conscientiously.
Gradually, Wu Kang Bao could no longer control the other party. The power of the company was in the hands of the other party, while Wu Kang Bao gradually became a mere figurehead.
That was bad enough. What's even more unbelievable was that Yao Xin Xin got together with her elder cousin brother and was caught in bed by Wu Kang Bao!
Wu Kang Bao gave the two a severe beating and got arrested.
Later, with the help of a few friends, he snatched the company back. The company was mostly destroyed though and a lot of money disappeared.
After Wu Kang Bao was released on bail, it was heard that he divorced Yao Xin Xin and the company closed down. The client said he didn't know where he went afterwards.
After Qiao Zhen Min heard about this, he suffered from insomnia that night.
Seeing him tossing and turning, Chu Sheng Mei asked him what was wrong. Qiao Zhen Min told his wife what he had heard during the day.
After hearing this, Chu Sheng Mei berated ‘he deserve it’ before looking at him with raised eyebrows: "Are you being soft-hearted?"
During the few years of working together, everyone’s relationship was indeed very good. Later, Wu Kang Bao seemed to have gone down a slope. Especially during the period of separating the partnership. He was downright disgusting.
Recalling that time, she was still fuming.
Qiao Zhen Min hugged her and said in a muffled voice, "No, just being emotional!"
A former friend who used to walk side by side suddenly separated off while walking.
They had once agreed that they would be good brothers and best friends for the rest of their lives. But it was no match for the years.
He wasn’t being soft-hearted, just lamented that people's hearts were fickle.
Chu Sheng Mei hugged him back. After a while, she responded in a low voice: "Don't worry, as long as you do me right in this life, I will always be by your side!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen Min raised his head and nibbled her mouth...
...
A client from another province came to Da Qiao's studio that day. She heard from the front desk that the client was her classmate.
Hearing the front desk’s description of the other party, she really couldn't remember who the other party was.
But when she walked to the living room and saw her, she was stunned: "...it's you!"
"It's me!" The woman sitting on the chair immediately stood up when she saw her. Following her words, a bright and respectable smile was revealed.
This woman was none other than Xu Chun Juan who dropped out of school because her son was ill.
At that time, Da Qiao and Cai Ru Nan sent money to the other party because the other party had dropped out of school. There was no news after that and Xu Chun Juan never returned back to school.
Cai Ru Nan was infuriated. She didn't want the other party to be grateful to her. So much money was sent over, the other party should at least say thank you!
But there was nothing. She had even remarked that the water would make a splash in response when money was thrown in!
Da Qiao didn't think too much about this matter. When she decided to send the money out, she was already prepared for the money to go and never return.
At that time, they lived in the same dorm for more than a year. Although they didn't have a deep relationship, she couldn't remain indifferent when she knew that the other party needed help.
Of course, this didn’t mean that she was a saint. For example, when dormmate Song Yu Lian couldn't find a good job after graduation and came to her, she didn't see her at all.
At this time, Xu Chun Juan was wearing a lady's suit, looking very dashing and heroic.
She came over and held out her hand, "Nice to see you again, Qiao Nian Nian!"
If she and Cai Ru Nan hadn't sent her that sum of money back then, she and her son might not be able to survive.
She didn't disappear on purpose though. She had been trapped by her husband's family.
Her husband's family and her husband were afraid that she wouldn’t come back after returning to the capital, so they refused to let her go back. She almost went crazy in those few years.
Every time she wanted to commit murder suicide with her husband's family, she thought of her dormmate, Da Qiao.
For some reason, when she thought of her, she suddenly had the courage and belief to persist.
When she first saw Da Qiao, she envied her very much.
Beautiful, smart, pampered by family members, and had an excellent partner. All these were the life and fate that all women dream of.
Compared with her, her life was full of ups and downs and darkness.
Both of her parents died when she was little and was sold to the countryside to be a child bride. Fortunately, the leader of the production team at that time was a very farsighted and conscientious person. He used his power to force her husband's family to let her go to school.
She was introduced to a whole new world at school and absorbed the knowledge of books like a sponge. Afterward, she climbed up step by step.
She was the first in the class, the first in the town, the first in the county and the city. Later, she was admitted to Jinghua University.
She thought her life would be rewritten from then on. However, she was still too weak!
Fortunately, those misfortunes were in the past.
Now she had divorced her ex-husband, obtained custody of her son, and had also created her own company.
In addition to repaying the kindness from back then, this tmie she also wanted to seek cooperation opportunities.
‘Xinqiao’ clothing designed by Da Qiao was now widely known in many cities and occupied an important share in the market.
She wanted to obtain the general agent power of ‘Xinqiao’ clothing in Province Y!
Da Qiao didn't expect to meet Xu Chun Juan here, let alone that she would undergo such a transformation.
After the negotiation, Da Qiao felt that the representative model she proposed could elevate her company to a new stage. So she readily made a decision to cooperate with the other party.
After two hours, all the details were settled.
Xu Chun Juan wanted to invite Da Qiao and Cai Ru Nan to have lunch together. But before she could say anything, Huo Chi brought the twins over.
"Mom, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you miss Xin Xin baby?"
As soon as Huo Xin Zhen came, she threw herself on Da Qiao. Her big black grape-like eyes blinked, looking at her pitifully.
Da Qiao often felt that her daughter was an eyelash monster. Her eyelashes were long and dense, fluttering like two fans. Every time she looked at her like this, she couldn't say no.
However, today was a rare visit from Xu Chun Juan and they just happened to discuss a cooperation project. She definitely couldn't leave her behind.
So she kissed her daughter's rosy and tender face and discussed with her: "Mom is going to eat with a client today. Can you eat with Dad and Elder Brother?"
When Huo Xin Zhen heard this, her big black grape-like eyes were clouded with mist: "Mom, can't you bring along Xin Xin, Elder Brother, and Dad? We won't disturb you! We are all good!"
Da Qiao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She raised her head to ask Huo Chi for help.
The latter's dark eyes were locked on her face. After a moment of silence, he stretched out his long arms towards his daughter and said, "Xin Xin, come here to Dad."
Huo Xin Zhen bit her red lips, gave Da Qiao a pitiful look before turning around, and threw herself into her dad's arms without crying.
It would be fine if she made a fuss. This little appearance of ‘enduring’ made Da Qiao's whole heart ache.
That was bad enough. Huo Xin Zhen was still very sensible and considerate and walked by herself. But after two steps, she fell down!
Moreover, she fell at Da Qiao's feet. Looking at her with tears in her swarthy eyes, Da Qiao's heart ached to death.
She quickly bent down to pick up her daughter to check if she was injured. Little pitiful said she wasn’t injured and urged her to accompany the client for a meal.
Seeing her like this, how could Da Qiao have the appetite to eat.
Seeing the situation, Xu Chun Juan tacitly offered to make an appointment next time.
Da Qiao felt apologetic and sent her out of the office herself.
What she didn't see was that as soon as she turned around and went out, Huo Xin Zhen immediately put away her pitiful appearance and said to her dad and elder brother: "Dad, Elder Brother, isn't Xin Xin baby's acting skills great?"
That's right, she was faking that expression just now as well as her fall.
This was all planned by Daddy Huo Chi who bribed her to do this to keep Da Qiao.
Because today was their fourth wedding anniversary.
What Huo Xin Zhen didn't expect was that when virtue rises one foot, vice rises ten. Her dad sent the two siblings back to Huo's house after using them and then happily went to two people world.
Huo Xin Zhen burst into tears with a wail.
She had it too difficult!
At such a young age, she felt the cruelty of this world!
Huo Family’s twins were three years old, while Da Qiao was twenty-six years old.
The years seem to have treated her particularly favorably, leaving no traces of time on her face or temperament.
She was still the same as when she graduated; as fresh and tender as a flower bud that had just bloomed on the branch. So delicate and tender that it was extremely enviable.

Can’t be helped. Although Tang Family was rich, they had no advantage when compared with Huo Family and Qiao Family.
What’s more, his appearance wasn’t stunning enough. Simply made her heart stuffed!
Huo Chi knew that Cai Ru Nan coveted his precious daughter this quickly, his nose almost became crooked from anger!
If it weren't for the fact that she was Da Qiao's friend, he would definitely kick them out!
