Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

"She was shocked, and then I made her leave in anger. But the person I bribed said that my mother has been looking at other industries recently, and maybe she will invest in some new company, which is good."

A failed marriage is not terrible; what is terrible is being trapped in a failed marriage.

"If your mother loves her career, wouldn't it be great to start her own company? Why does she have to rely on your grandfather to squeeze out a little money from her pocket her whole life?"

If you enjoy the feeling of being in love, then go date some younger men. As long as you have money, young men can be very enthusiastic.

Fu Yun Shen initially wanted to nod after hearing this, but in the end he simply lowered his head and pecked a kiss on the side of his neck.

"Does Ayu also secretly long for a young man?"

Feeling guilty, Tang Yu quickly tilted her head back and kissed the person in front of her to comfort her.

There were freelance musicians playing in the square. The two laughed and joked intimately for a while when an unexpected voice rang out in the distance.

That was Fu Yunshen's grandfather's assistant. The two of them turned around and saw that Fu Yunshen's grandfather was waiting for them not far away.

After a while, the three of them went to a nearby coffee shop and sat down. Fu Yunshen's grandfather, Fu Lingtian, spoke up.

"I didn't mean to disturb your date, but there's something I've been thinking about for a long time and I've always wanted to ask Ayu about it."

But if I talk to Ayu alone, I'm afraid Yun Shen will think I'm some kind of villain trying to break up someone else's marriage, so I've decided to let's all sit down and talk today."

Tang Yu took Fu Yunshen's nervous hand and then asked the elder in front of her.

"Grandpa, if you have any questions, just say so. I'm a very straightforward person."

Fu Lingtian sighed before slowly speaking.

"I founded Lingtian Pharmaceutical myself. Through all the ups and downs over the years, I have never thought of giving up."

But now the children all have their own ideas. I made a mistake back then, and I can't let them continue to be a happy family. This family will eventually fall apart.

Yun Shen originally didn't get involved in these matters, but now he's agreed to split up Lingtian Pharmaceuticals. I think this has something to do with you.

"Ayu, I don't understand. Yun Shen is studying biomedical sciences and wants to become a drug researcher in the future. Wouldn't Lingtian Pharmaceuticals be a better fit for Yun Shen?"

Tang Yu looked at the elderly man with gray hair in front of her. She did not say anything disrespectful, but instead explained her reasons.

"Grandpa, Lingtian Pharmaceutical has been established for decades. It has been involved in drug research and development and vaccine production. So many people have participated in all these processes, and it has formed a huge industrial chain."

The company's shareholders operate in the upstream and downstream industrial chains, becoming an inseparable part of this profit chain. They are so deeply entrenched that even you, Grandpa, cannot drive them away.

Therefore, Lingtian Pharmaceutical has no ability to innovate and reform in the future unless it gets rid of all the stakeholders behind the shareholders and replaces them with new procurement and R&D personnel.

But is that even possible?

A company that has been established for decades without developing any new drugs and relies on existing interest groups to survive has no future.

"Grandpa, to put it bluntly, do the drugs you produce and the vaccines you develop get into the market because of their superior quality or because of your connections? I think you know that all too well!"

Of course, that's how the market is now. Drugs with similar effects can only gain a larger market share through connections, and those shareholders are able to maintain those connections.

And these shareholders' networks of relatives, whose companies complete the upstream and downstream supply chain, mean that Lingtian Pharmaceutical has to purchase raw materials from them, and they are also involved in the sales process. So how can this company be reformed?

This is why Tang Yu didn't allow Fu Yunshen to return to Lingtian Pharmaceutical.

The existing shareholders have already controlled all aspects of the network of interests at all levels, so you need their approval to develop a new drug.

Even if you develop it, when it comes to the stage of purchasing raw materials and selling it, you still have to satisfy these people. What's the point of playing then?

With these people hindering me, it's impossible to do what I want.

Fu Lingtian sighed deeply after hearing this.

"You're right, I just didn't understand that principle for a moment."

After saying this, Fu Yun Shen took the initiative to speak.

“Grandpa, maybe decades from now, the company that Ayu and I built will also fall into such a predicament, but at least now, I can make all the decisions. I prefer this kind of life.”

"The company's shareholders are only interested in continuing to leech off their existing interests and weaving their networks of relatives everywhere!"

But we happen to be in the pharmaceutical industry. If we misuse raw materials or cut corners to save costs, wouldn't that lead to deaths?

Grandpa, we're a pharmaceutical company. If even a few steps go wrong, it could be fatal! But now the company has this bad habit of having cronies everywhere. Do you think these people can do their jobs properly?

Chapter 17 Ode to Joy 17

The next day, Tang Yu took Fu Yunshen to visit Qu's parents.

The two of them beamed with joy the first time they saw Fu Yun Shen in person; the boy was truly handsome.

Fu Yun Shen presented the generous gift he had prepared, and was then warmly invited into Qu's home for a chat by Qu's parents.

After a while, Fu Yunshen chatted with Qu's father, while Qu's mother pulled Tang Yu aside to talk to her alone.

"Yun Shen is a tall and handsome young man, with fair skin. He is humble and polite, and has a refined manner. He is also a PhD from Columbia University. He is clearly a promising young talent. Not bad, not bad..."

It's exactly like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law; the more she looks, the more satisfied she becomes.

"Didn't you tell me before to find some famous pianist or some other musician?"

"Oh dear, Mom thought that you could only find someone like-minded, how could you find an ordinary person? Wouldn't that be unworthy of you?"

But most musicians are foreigners, so wouldn't that mean you have to marry someone from abroad? How would your mother face you then? That's not suitable, not suitable at all.

Tang Yu thought of something interesting and whispered it in Qu Ma's ear.

"Mom, tell me the truth, didn't you once think about setting me up with a pianist from China? What happened to that in the end?"

Qu's mother frowned instantly.

Tang Yu already knew about this, and now she just wanted to hear what Aunt Qu had to say.

"Oh dear, don't mention their family! I thought you two young people got along well, so I thought I'd find someone to play matchmaker for you."

After they heard a bit of the news, they actually said we were nouveau riche and looked down on us.

"Hmph, what is their family anyway? So what if everyone in the family plays a musical instrument? Does that give them the right to look down on us? It's absolutely hilarious!"

“Daughter, you have always been outstanding and beautiful, and understanding. I always thought that people from musical families were all like you, gentle and elegant.”

After getting to know them, I realized they wanted to marry daughters of high-ranking officials or prestigious families; they were just being materialistic…

Tang Yu kept laughing; how could she possibly be with a musician?

I already need to practice and play the piano at a fixed time every day, but do I have to listen to someone practicing next to me every single day? That's maddening!

On Fu Yunshen's side, Qu's father was discussing future plans and the current situation of the Fu family company with Fu Yunshen.

Before this connection, everyone treated news about the Fu family as gossip.

But now that he's about to become a son-in-law, he definitely needs to understand the specifics clearly.

"Yun Shen, does your grandfather really agree that the child will have the surname Qu?"

Fu Yunshen smiled and nodded.

"My grandfather did some things when he was young because of his strong personality, which he now deeply regrets. That's why he respects the younger generation a lot."

Uncle, Ayu is the partner I long to spend my life with. From now on, although the future of Lingtian Pharmaceuticals is not my concern, I will definitely provide a safe haven for this family.

I will never let Ayu suffer even the slightest injustice, nor will I let her feel even the slightest sadness. I will protect her for the rest of my life, and stand firmly by her side forever…

Mr. and Mrs. Qu never worried about their eldest daughter. It seemed that she had never caused any trouble since she was a child.

She always seems so sensible and can handle anything well.

The son-in-law they brought back this time was different from what they had imagined.

However, after getting to know Fu Yun Shen, all that remained in their eyes was satisfaction, so the meeting was a happy one for everyone.

In the afternoon, Fu Yunshen stayed at the Qu family home to play ball with Qu's father, while Tang Yu chatted on the phone with Qu Xiaoxiao, who had just finished work.

"I knew our parents liked sons-in-law who were highly educated and good-looking."

"Where's your Dr. Zhao? Is he someone I can take home?"

Qu Xiaoxiao feels that the two of them get along quite well, but it seems that they don't have any plans to get married at the moment.

"Sister, although Dr. Zhao is highly educated, he is somewhat similar to me at heart. He is quite casual and easygoing about matters between men and women."

We're just talking right now; we don't have any plans to spend our lives together yet.

Qu Xiaoxiao had dated many men, but Tang Yu didn't take it to heart.

That evening, Qu Xiaoxiao returned home and had dinner with everyone to express her welcome to Fu Yunshen.

Then, half a month later, Tang Yu received a furious phone call from Qu Xiaoxiao.

"Sister, Zhao Qiping actually wants to break up with me! He thinks I'm uneducated and that I'm not the same kind of person as him. He actually looks down on me!"

"Hahaha... Did you used to think you were the same kind of people as him? Weren't you two together because of hormonal needs?"

You're not going to tell me now that you two actually share a common inner world, are you?

Tang Yu burst out laughing. Aren't these two just lovers? How did they end up communicating on a spiritual level?

Qu Xiaoxiao: “…”

"It seems like no, but being dumped like this is so embarrassing! Don't you understand what it means to lose face?!"

"What else can we do? We've already broken up."

Besides, this isn't the first time I've been dumped. I've had so many relationships, and back when I was abroad, we were always dumping each other, weren't we?

It was because of the reason for being dumped that her self-esteem was hurt.

"I'll win him back, make him fall head over heels in love with me, and then dump him again. What do you think?"

"Not good at all, it makes you look like you're mentally ill."

Qu Xiaoxiao screamed on the other end of the phone; she was definitely going crazy.

Once Qu Xiaoxiao had calmed down, Tang Yu finally spoke.

"Xiaoxiao, it's normal for him to break up with you because you and Dr. Zhao can't connect on a deeper level."

Everyone has their own interests and hobbies, and their own lifestyle habits. If your interests and lifestyle don't match his, it can lead to unhappiness in your relationship, which is a very common occurrence in life.

You need to learn to weed out unsuitable people and find happiness among suitable ones.

As for being ignorant and uncultured, don't take that to heart. Do you know what year our country was founded? Do you know about the War of Resistance Against Japan?
