“Su Li, have you lost your mind? Giving away your family fortune and breaking off the engagement, what for?” The neighbors laughed at her for being a fool.
Reborn, she came back and ended the engagement for good.
But she couldn’t keep the twists and turns of business policy straight. She lost everything from the start and could barely make ends meet.
On a rainy night, she hauled the badly injured Jiang Chengan to his feet. “Come work with me.”
He wiped away the blood and grabbed her wrist. “What exactly do you want from me?” He was wary and suspicious from the very beginning.
Later, the four of them teamed up, but they kept disagreeing. Their stockpiled goods were forced to sell at a loss, costing them more than half their money.
Their rival Zhao Kun drove them to the brink of death. Their suppliers cut them off, their customers left, and they were plunged into utter desperation.
Eventually, their differences proved impossible to reconcile, and they split up for a while to go their separate ways.
But even in their darkest hour, none of them truly abandoned the others.
Zhang Guilan secretly used her personal savings to cover the workers’ wages. Lin Xiaohu guarded their last shipment despite his injuries. Jiang Chengan scoured the surrounding area for a new way forward, while Su Li sat on the floor of an empty warehouse and did the books for three days straight.
It took a whole year of struggle before they finally got back on their feet.
Later, sitting on the steps of the old factory, Jiang Chengan handed her some water. “Weren’t you afraid I’d really run off back then?”
Su Li took the water. “Weren’t you going to abandon me, too?”
