Volume 4 Chapter 57 New Life
Fuxiang Food Company's business is booming. Not only is it responsible for all domestic sales of snails in the world, but it has also established an intricate channel network across the country, and some of its products have even been sold overseas.
But who would have known that the predecessor of this company was just a small branch of Menghe Enterprise, and it is unimaginable that this place was originally a prison.
And it was her father Shu Ming who turned this place from a prison into a paradise, causing this ancient prison to fall into waves of madness, making everyone inside feel the spring breeze and get along harmoniously.

"Alas." Huang Jie sighed softly.
This can be said to be the most critical turning point in her father's short life, because here he met Long Zhenzhen, Long Xiaomei, and Fang Ling, and began his colorful but full-fledged journey. A helpless and miserable life.
"Let's go."
Huang Jie looked back at Fuxiang Company again and stepped onto the West Bridge with heavy steps, Lei Liang silently accompanying him.
The next afternoon, they came to Shu Ming's alma mater.
Looking at the bustling students on campus, Huang Jie said with emotion: "It's great to be young."
In fact, she is still young, but the successive changes in her life have left her troubled by many worries that are difficult to resolve.
They didn't bother anyone, not even the female teacher who had a close relationship with Shu Ming, didn't find out if she was still teaching in this school. They just walked around casually for a few times and then walked out of the back door of the campus.
They went straight to the game room mentioned in the manuscript. It was still in charge of the old couple. Huang Jie had already learned some information from Tinker Bell, but now the scale of the place was obviously different from what it used to be. A small game arcade has developed into a large-scale arcade. Tinker Bell's brother is also helping in the store. There is also a young woman who seems to be the daughter-in-law of the two old people. In front of the two old people, there is a three-year-old girl. The four-year-old boy was jumping for joy.
They did not disturb the peaceful life here, and left after a while.
When they arrived at the old site of Huile Internet Cafe mentioned in the manuscript, a new building had been built here. The small Internet cafe before no longer existed. The two of them just stopped for a while and then got in the car.
The two of them looked north.
Two days later, they finally arrived at Tingting's hometown.
Tingting's parents still run the store.
The second elder recognized Huang Jie and treated him very attentively.
When there were few guests, Huang Jie asked: "Auntie, has Tingting ever come back?"
Tingting's mother said: "No, but she wrote a letter back."
Huang Jie said: "Oh... then, can you tell me what she said?"
Tingting's mother said: "She just told us that she was safe, where she was, and what she was doing. She didn't say anything, but she mentioned you..."
Huang Jie asked anxiously: "What did she say?"
Tingting's mother said: "I don't know what it means. She just said that if you come here one day, ask us to help convey her message. She said that everything is fine with her and let the past go. I asked you not to take her matters to your heart."
The two elders wanted to stay with them for dinner, but Huang Jie declined.
Following her father's footsteps all the way, thousands of emotions lingered in her heart. So far, hearing the little news about Tingting made Huang Jie's brows slightly wider. She believed that sooner or later, she and Tingting would meet again one day.
This city is quite famous in the north, so the two of them were not in a hurry, so they stayed here for a few more days.
Finally, looking at the New Year’s Eve, I returned to the snail world and plunged into the lively Spring Festival activities.
Before the Spring Festival was over, the two went to see Lu Ying and then set off on the road again.
This is a small village.
With the support of national policies, farmers' lives are getting better and better, and here is no exception. At a glance, neat and beautiful small buildings can be seen everywhere.
Today is only the seventh day of the first lunar month, and some people are already busy. Those who work outside have also left their hometowns and started traveling for another year, and those who work as farmers at home have also begun to go to the fields one after another, but there are still many people immersed in the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
There are usually many outsiders visiting this village, so the people here are accustomed to their arrival and do whatever they need to do without causing any trouble.
"Hurry up!"
A small square table was crowded with people, and they were gambling!
Although the state strictly prohibits gambling, this trend is unavoidable in every place during the Spring Festival.
What surprised Huang Jie was that there were several women in this group of people shouting loudly with the elders.
Two of them look very similar, and both seem to be beauties. It's a pity that time is not forgiving, and the past events in the world of mortals are all reflected in the mirror, and everything cannot be maintained forever.
Huang Jie asked people in the village about his parents' family, but unfortunately they all went to the fields.
They didn't stay long, and there was no way to recognize them now, but one day, she would be bound to take on the responsibility of supporting the elderly people of the two families in their old age.
During several stops on the way home, Huang Jie heard the names of two women who were no strangers to her. That was when they were resting, someone happened to call "Axiu" and "Xiaomei". She didn't know whether these two women were women who had a relationship with her father. After all, there are people with the same name in the world. many people. It just stirred up her thoughts, which inevitably made her feel emotional again.
During this period, they visited a few places where Shu Ming had passed or stayed before. It was inevitable to reminisce about them, but they did not encounter any other surprises.
When Huang Jie came back, she realized that Xiaowen was gone.
Long Zhenzhen looked much older. She sobbed and handed a piece of paper to Huang Jie's hand and said, "If she leaves, I'm afraid she will never come back again."
Huang Jie took it and looked at it. It read: "Mom, I forgive my daughter for being unfilial. My daughter is gone. There is nothing worth remembering here. All that is left to me is deep pain. My daughter decided to go out on her own. , after your daughter has a successful career, she will come back to see you. With your sister by your side, I believe she will take good care of you, so mom, don’t worry about your daughter."
Long Zhenzhen told her another shocking news, and Lu Ying left early.
Huang Jie became distressed.
Long Zhenzhen sighed with tears: "God is so jealous of beauty!"
Huang Jiehe
Lei Liang stood in front of Lu Ying's grave, crying.
Huang Jie and Lingzi went to visit Xu Jing again.
Lingzi and Tianhua had only been separated for a few days, but they seemed to have a lot to talk about. The two had already been holding hands and whispering.
Seeing the two of them getting along happily, both Xu Jing and Huang Jie smiled.
Xu Jing asked: "Do you have any clues?"
Huang Jie replied: "Still not, but I have walked all the places he walked, and I still gained some results. I was just thinking about looking for it again after I have been busy for a while."
Xu Jing comforted her and said: "You are busy, but don't be too busy. Brother Ming has a daughter like you. He can rest in peace even if he is under Jiuquan."
On this day, Huang Jie was wandering on the street.
Although she already gave birth to a daughter, both parents helped take care of the child, and she and Lei Liang fell apart.
She has arranged for Lei Liang to study management next to Xu Mingfeng. She knows that such a large company cannot handle it alone. On the one hand, she has vigorously cultivated the backbone, and on the other hand, she also hopes that Lei Liang can also create something that truly belongs to him. A career of your own.
When she passed a food stall, she suddenly had a sudden impulse and couldn't help but stop.
Thinking about it, I didn't know how long it had been since I had tasted it in a place like this, so I walked over, sat down at an empty seat, and ordered a beef noodle dish.
The boss called out: "Xiao Liu, come here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman walked out from behind the stall with a child on her back. Her hands were wet. It was obvious that she had been washing dishes inside.
The boss pointed to the bowl of noodles next to him, then pointed to Huang Jie's position, and said, "Send this bowl of noodles to that customer." After that, he continued to wave the spoon in his hand.
The woman straightened her body, raised her face and left.
The woman placed the noodles in front of Huang Jie: "Your beef mixed noodles." After saying that, she left.
Huang Jie said, "Thank you." He looked up at her and was stunned.
When the woman saw her, her face turned red and she felt excited, but she quickly turned around and left, running into the place where she came out just now.
Huang Jie chased in and asked: "Yan'er, why? What happened?"
This woman turned out to be Liu Yan.
Liu Yan lowered her head and said, "Get out quickly, this place is dirty."
Huang Jie saw her holding greasy dishes and chopsticks, interrupted her and said, "You know that too? Don't do this again. Come with me."
Liu Yan hesitated.
Huang Jie didn't say anything more and took her away.
She told her boss that Liu Yan was her sister and she wanted to take her away, but the boss had no choice but to agree. There are no contracts in a place like this. What's more, Liu Yan has been working here for several days. They didn't ask him for wages. How could they dare to detain people by force?
Liu Yan understood Huang Jie's character and finally had to take her to her temporarily rented room.
Looking at such a simple and small space, Huang Jie's eyes turned red.
She asked: "What happened to you?"
Liu Yan said: "We are divorced."
Huang Jie asked: "When did it happen?"
Liu Yan replied: "Half a year ago."
Huang Jie said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Liu Yan said: "I don't dare."
Huang Jie said: "Then why did you do that? Is that a job you can handle?"
Liu Yan said: "I can't help it, I really can't help it." Her eyes turned red as she said this.
Huang Jie felt uncomfortable, pulled her over and hugged her tightly: "Poor Yan'er."
Liu Yan felt relaxed for a moment, and could no longer suppress her grievances. She fell on Huang Jie's shoulder and cried loudly.
It turns out that Liu Yan and Zhao Bing seemed to be living a normal life, but in fact they already had knots in their hearts, and the conflicts became more and more intense, eventually leading to the collapse of their marriage.
Liu Yan insisted on keeping her son with her. Zhao Bing saw her begging him like crazy, and finally proposed that if she wanted to take away the child, she would not be able to have anything else.
Originally, with Zhao Bing's family status, she should have received a considerable amount of property after the divorce so that she could have enough food and clothing to raise her children, but Zhao Bing caught on to her weakness of caring for her children. How could Liu Yan's family survive the fight if they had no power? , I am thankful to have my child back.
Huang Jie shouted angrily: "Damn Zhao Bing."
Liu Yan said: "I didn't dare to go home, so I had to wander around with my children. Soon my savings ran out, so I took my children everywhere to find things to do, but they couldn't accept me at all when they saw me with my children. In the end When I came here, I originally wanted to find you, but I didn’t dare, sister. I really didn’t have the face to find you. In my previous job, the boss fired me because he found someone more suitable. It’s only been a few days.”
Huang Jie said: "My silly Yan'er, you should have told me earlier."
In fact, Huang Jie also knew that if Liu Yan told her about her situation at that time, she would naturally be able to help a little, but it would not be possible to truly allow her to raise her children without worrying about food and clothing.
But it's different now. She has the ability to give her absolute help.
Originally, she wanted to arrange Liu Yan to enter the world of snails, but Liu Yan would not agree to anything.
After all, I have a young child and I cannot devote all my energy to work.
Finally, with Liu Yan's consent, Huang Jie arranged for her to serve as the president of Sunshine Magazine. This is also a place she is familiar with.
In today's society, there are more and more single mothers. What's more, with a good friend like Huang Jie by her side to take care of her, she usually has a free time at work, eats in the company, and lives in the dormitories provided by the company. Liu Yan's heart gradually calmed down. Put most of your thoughts on raising and nurturing your children.
That night, Reiko was in a daze holding a manuscript. Her eyes were red and tears were falling down her cheeks.
Xu Tianhua came over, snatched the manuscript from her hand, and asked, "What are you reading? Show it to me."
Lingzi reacted and was about to snatch it back, but saw that Xu Tianhua's eyes were already wet, so she couldn't bear to interrupt him and just looked at him affectionately.
Xu Tianhua read it in one breath, his voice choked with sobs: "Did you write this?"
Reiko replied: "I wrote it before."
Xu Tianhua gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Lingzi's eyes, took her into his arms lovingly, and called out: "Sister Ling."
Reiko didn't resist, just
Quietly rest your head on his chest.
After a while, Xu Tianhua said: "Sister Ling, let me accompany you home in two days!"
"Yeah." Reiko responded.
Early the next morning, Xu Tianhua came to Lingzi excitedly and handed her a piece of paper. Lingzi took it and looked at it. There was a poem on it, which read:
I stood on the beach and gently picked up a pool of water
But she naughtily and ruthlessly slipped from my fingers
Hourglass, hourglass, in the vast sea, disappeared from my sight in the blink of an eye.
I tried desperately to keep her, desperately, desperately
Hold my hand, hold, clamp, tighten
The blood came out uncontrollably, but she still walked away willfully.
Melting into the elusive dream of my hometown, looking at the vast sea and sky
My fragile heart is easily torn apart. My feelings can't stop my tears.
I cried
Several years have passed, and it’s that sea and sky again
I stood alone and silently
I no longer shed tears easily. Time has given me many things I couldn’t ask for.
Today I am here thinking about the story of the fisherman and the goldfish
The goldfish asked me what I wanted and I said softly to her
I just want a warm home
Let me no longer wander, no longer wander, I got my wish
Looking at the group of jumping children, looking at the wife who is waiting foolishly
I suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling
Seeing my return, they laughed and so did I.
Yes, there are too many crying and laughing things in life. It’s funny.
But I will always be a budding flower beside you
Maybe it's an inexplicable heartbeat, maybe it's a silent relative
A smile after the storm is enough to make your worries fly away
Enough to make your depression disappear
Cry and cry happily, laugh and smile brightly
Because happiness is with you, because emotion is with you
Because there is a word
A very ordinary word tightly connects your two trembling hearts.
That is - love
Lingzi saw the listless look in his eyes, it was obvious that he had stayed up late, and knowing that he was worried that he had written it specifically for her to read, she stroked his face lovingly: "Brother Tianhua, I'm fine, look at you——"
Xu Tianhua grabbed her hand and looked at her: "Lingzi, for you, everything I do is worth it."
Lingzi fell into her arms and called out affectionately: "Brother Tianhua."
Xu Tianhua hugged her tightly.
The two of them felt a burst of heat spreading from their hearts, and their hands were groping for something on each other's body.
Suddenly, Reiko whispered: "We're almost late."
Xu Tianhua was startled and quickly let her go.
Lingzi suddenly blushed with embarrassment, glanced at him, turned and left.
Xu Tianhua stood there, watching her leaving figure dreamingly.
Huang Jie began to embark on reforms. The first thing he did was to abolish the decadent trend in the sauna department.
At the meeting, most department heads did not advocate complete abolition. After intense discussion, Huang Jie finally made the decision. The sauna and spa were included in the hotel management and were under the leadership of the deputy general manager. After the meeting, she stayed with the general manager alone. Ask him to formulate a new system as soon as possible and strengthen supervision and execution.
A few days later, she found Qing again.
Qing greeted warmly: "Hello, Director Huang."
Huang Jie thought of her relationship with her father and said, "Aunt Qing, you should call me Xiaojie, right?"
Qing said: "How is that possible, Director Huang?"
Huang Jie didn't want to tell her her identity, so she had to let her call her. She said, "Aunt Qing, has President Yu issued a notice to you?"
Qing said: "Just received it."
Huang Jie said: "Aunt Qing, this is what I think. From now on, you will be in charge of the sauna and spa. Aunt Zi and Aunt Lan will be your assistants. If you have any difficulties, you can go directly to Mr. Yu."
Qing said: "Thank you, Mr. Huang, for the promotion."
After Qing received the notice, she thought she was going to be laid off again. She and her sisters didn't know where to go, but suddenly things took a 360-degree turn and she was full of surprises.
Huang Jie turned around and said, "But Aunt Qing, I hope you can cooperate with President Yu and formulate a new system as soon as possible to completely eliminate the past trend."
Qing was stunned: "Director Huang, you mean..."
Huang Jie knew what she wanted to say, couldn't help but blush, nodded and said, "Yes."
Qing sighed: "As we age, our pearls turn yellow, and we are no longer like before."
Huang Jie said: "Aunt Qing, I hope you will work together to restrain the waiters below, and everything must be in line with healthy development."
Qing murmured: "Wouldn't that mean there's no money to be made?"
Huang Jie said: "Aunt Qing, don't worry about the benefits. It will be difficult at the beginning, but I believe that this is not the only way to find excitement in this world."
Huang Jie also proposed to cancel the gambling city. This suggestion was opposed by more than 90% of the people.
Huang Jie had no choice but to give up, but ordered them to strengthen management and put entertainment first. Each person had to have a daily limit. You should know that nine times out of ten gambles, some people lose their money and lose everything.
Once this regulation is implemented, the effect is really extraordinary. Although profits seem to have dropped a lot, it has attracted more people. It is just for entertainment. Those who are busy at work will come here for a few rounds. It doesn't hurt if they lose occasionally. Be nice and feel happy if you win.
The reputation of the snail world is getting bigger and bigger, and other pillar industries are naturally booming.
Huang Jie also strengthened the construction of gardens and lakes, which surprised tourists.
Then she reduced the staff, merged departments, rented the vacated floors to the public, and fully reorganized and utilized resources.
After finishing these things, she decided to continue looking for her mother Shulan.
