A Woman's Road to Fortune in the 1990S

"I've run a general store, traveled long-distance routes, built skyscrapers, and traded conceptual stocks..." After overcoming hardship and becoming the youngest female billionaire in the country, Yin Man spoke about her past onstage. It all began in the distant year of 1993. That year was the darkest period of Yin Man's life. Her father died, her older sister took the clothing factory, and her fiance, who had returned from studying abroad, became her brother-in-law. She had nothing left except a tiny, run-down general store. Amid the firecrackers welcoming the New Year at the end of the year, Yin Man pressed her palms together and earnestly made a New Year's wish. "Let's set a small goal: first, make a hundred million." [Bonus Scene] A few years later, the wealth rankings were updated, and Zhang Chen became the country's new richest man. A reporter interviewed Yin Man: "What do you think of this rising star?" Yin Man: "I admire the fact that he handed control of the finances over to his wife." A man watching in front of the TV chuckled. Heh, good thing he had the foresight to do that. Please add my upcoming novel, The Little Secretary's Rise at the Cultural Center, to your favorites! In 1984, the telephone poles on the streets of Xicheng were plastered with small job ads. It was the sixth year since reform and opening up began. The situation was becoming clearer, and many people were eager to go into business. Her colleagues at the county cultural center egged Wen Ling on. "How about we both quit and start a clothing factory together?" Wen Ling, who had been nibbling sunflower seeds and sipping tea, suddenly grew serious. Quit? There was no way she was quitting. Not in this lifetime. A job in the system offered good pay, great benefits, light work, and plenty of time to slack off. Where could you find a job like that? Before transmigrating into a book, she'd worked herself to the bone preparing for the civil service exam. Wasn't a relaxed, stable job exactly what she'd wanted? She'd died of exhaustion while studying for the exam, only to find that she'd gotten her wish as soon as she transmigrated into a book. Trying to talk her into quitting? Not a chance! She wouldn't agree even if the King of Heaven himself showed up! Let those hardworking people catch the tailwind of the times. She couldn't do it. She just wanted to lie flat. While her colleagues made their own plans for the future, Wen Ling stayed completely unmoved. Every day, she continued to snack on sunflower seeds, sip tea, and show up and leave on time, rain or shine. To her surprise, her supervisor thought she was steady and determined, and promoted her for the first time in his career. Wen Ling: ? Later, after soaring through the ranks and getting raises until she'd become a little rolled-up biscuit, Wen Ling began to reflect: Wasn't I supposed to lie flat in the first place? After being promoted and getting a raise to become deputy director, Wen Ling felt her life was complete, except for one thing: a man. After a long search, she finally spotted a handsome man with a perfect figure on the street. She boldly approached him. "Comrade, do you have a partner? What do you think of me?" The next day, a new director took office. He glanced lightly at Wen Ling and announced solemnly, "I don't have a partner, and I don't plan to look for one. I'm going to focus on my career." Wen Ling: Too afraid to say anything.jpg Theme: A good life is built through hard work
