Chapter 253

　　Is it a man?

　　 “Since I’m using this as an example, it must be a man,” Bai Jing said. “I know it’s natural for men to look at beautiful women, but not every man shows the greedy look that Mr. Zhao does when he sees a beautiful woman. Take my husband, for example. When I met him in Lijiang, his behavior was perfectly normal. His eyes showed appreciation, not the greedy desire to possess her. The director I just mentioned is the kind of quiet man who likes to spend his time working. He wouldn’t stare at a beautiful woman just because she came to the planning department.”

　　 “If you don’t like President Zhao, then why are you still working in Jiangnan?”

　　 “You’ll encounter this kind of person in many companies.”

　　 “Then you’ll have to choose a company that basically has no men.”

　　 “No, right?”

　　 “A beauty salon,” He Yijuan added after a pause, “or you could start your own company.”

　　 “I’m not starting a business because I’m a mother now.”

　　 “Starting a business has nothing to do with whether you are married or a mother.”

　　 “I know that,” Bai Jing explained, “but I want to spend more time with my son, after all, he’s only three years old.”

　　 “That’s a good idea,” He Yijuan said, pulling back the curtains and looking out the window. “Back then, I neglected my son because of Haotian Travel Agency, and now he’s not close to me at all. There’s something you might not know: my son’s name is Zhang Haotian, and the travel agency is named after him.”

　　 “You told me about this before.”

　　 “That’s because it’s been so long, I’ve forgotten it all,” He Yijuan said with a sigh. “So, as people get older, some memories become increasingly blurry.”

　　 “It doesn’t matter if you forget unimportant memories; this will reduce the burden on your brain.”

　　 “Perhaps,” He Yijuan asked, looking at Bai Jing. “So you’re not planning to stay in Jiangnan?”

　　 “It should be.”

　　 “Don’t rush to tell the genius about this. Let me discuss it with the genius before we make any plans.”

　　 “Sister Juan, whether or not I resign is my business, it has nothing to do with you.”

　　 “How could it be unrelated to me?” He Yijuan laughed. “You might not know, but I’ve been holding a grudge ever since Haotian went bankrupt. I wanted to go back to my old business, but there are just too many travel agencies of all sizes in Lijiang now, so it’s really not suitable to continue operating a travel agency here. It’s like in the old town, you can see a travel agency every few steps, it’s as frequent as a barbershop. So I have a rather bold idea, which is to directly buy Genius’s Jiangnan Travel Agency, and then connect with several travel agency owners I know in Lijiang to do business with them. This is actually the same model that Jiangnan developed in the first place, except that because Haotian went bankrupt, Jiangnan stopped using this model. And I have a lot of connections in the tourism industry in Lijiang, so if I were to take over Jiangnan, its development momentum would definitely be much better than it is now.”

　　 Hearing He Yijuan’s words, Bai Jing was somewhat pleased.

　　 Because she never expected that He Yijuan would actually plan to buy Jiangnan!

　　 Overjoyed, Bai Jing covered her mouth and widened her eyes.

　　 Half a minute later, Bai Jing, still incredulous, asked, “Sister Juan, are you telling the truth?”

　　 “It depends on what Genius thinks,” He Yijuan said. “If his asking price is too high, I definitely won’t take it. But when I’ve been talking to him these past few days, he keeps saying that business isn’t doing well, so I think there’s still a high chance of reaching an agreement.”

　　 “But your hometown is Lijiang!”

　　 “My son is already in high school, and he’s a boarding student,” He Yijuan said. “As for my husband, he runs his own appliance store. They are both very independent and don’t require my attention, so it wouldn’t be a problem for me to start a business here in Shenzhen. Of course, I don’t know Shenzhen very well, but you’ve been here for four years, so if I really buy Jiangnan, you’ll have to help me. I originally didn’t plan to buy Jiangnan, but since you work there, I won’t be all alone, so the idea of ​​buying Jiangnan has become stronger and stronger.”

　　 “Of course I support you, Sister Juan, but what are the prospects for the tourism industry right now?”

　　 “Great, but the competition will be fierce.”

　　 “So, Sister Juan, are you still planning to invest?”

　　 “You need to understand one thing,” He Yijuan said, “The more profitable an industry is, the fiercer the competition will be. Industries that don’t make any money and even lose money will have very little competition. A decade or so ago, arcade games were very popular, and it was incredibly lucrative, so many people started businesses in that area. But now, if you know someone who owns an arcade, you’d think they’re crazy. So if you really want to start a business, you can’t be afraid. Because if you’re afraid, you’re already a failure before you even begin.”

　　 Seeing He Yijuan’s confidence, Bai Jing naturally became confident as well.

　　 After nodding, Bai Jing said, “It would be wonderful if I could continue to follow you, Sister Juan.”

　　 “Let’s see what the genius thinks!”

　　 “So, do you want to cooperate with Li Fulong?”

　　 “From a profit perspective, yes. But I can’t forgive such a despicable person, so I definitely won’t cooperate with him.”

　　 “That’s good. I was worried that you would cooperate with him for money, Sister Juan.”

　　 “I started my business not to make money, but just to prove that I have the ability to make money.”

　　 “Have you talked to Brother Zhang about this?”

　　 “He has always respected every choice I make.”

　　 “But the two of us live too far apart, and I’m afraid he won’t agree.”

　　 “Don’t worry, he will be the one who respects my choices the most.”

　　 Hearing He Yijuan’s firm words, Bai Jing sincerely said, “It seems that you and Brother Zhang are really very much in love, Sister Juan.”

　　 “We used to bicker a lot when we were young, but we got along better and better over time.”

　　 “I’m so envious!”

　　 “Don’t you get along well with your husband?”

　　 “There have been some conflicts recently.”

　　 What kind of conflict?

　　 “I’ll talk to you again tomorrow when you come to stay at my place, Sister Juan,” Bai Jing said after glancing at her watch. “I think President Zhao must be getting impatient downstairs, so we need to go down.”

　　 “I almost forgot about him.”

　　 “Sister Juan, with a memory like yours, you can actually start a business?”

　　 “I just had such a great time chatting with you,” He Yijuan said as she walked out. “Let’s go!”

　　 After meeting up with Zhao Tiancai in the lobby on the first floor, the three of them went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

　　 Just as they arrived at the restaurant, the heavily pregnant Li Fulong walked into a music venue called Night Song.

　　 Besides him, he was followed by two bodyguards.

　　 Reaching the cashier, Li Fulong said, “I need two private rooms, not connected.”
