The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

Qiu Jiu now commands the Xilai Hotel under the Yanxi Group. He currently has three key generals under his command, and with the addition of Chang Chun, there are now four people capable of leading the company.

The second son of the Jiang family, Jiang Bai, the third son, Jiang Zhang, and the eldest son of the Kang family, Kang Qian, followed Qiu Jiu to Shenzhen and Zhuhai for training. After that, Jiang Bai was sent to Shanghai, Jiang Zhang was sent to Beijing, and Kang Qian was sent to Guangdong to develop the new Xilai Hotel.

Qiu Jiu was stationed in Shenzhen, and Chang Chun managed the Xilai Hotel in Shenzhen, Xiamen, Zhuhai, and Shantou. This was Hua Yan's stronghold, and Qiu Jiu dared not be careless.

Miao Xianxing entrusted Deng Di with the management of Yanxi Group's clothing company. Deng Di had been managing the expansion of the "One Life, One Love" clothing brand and had a deep understanding of the clothing industry. After several years of experience, he was now fully capable of taking charge without any problems.

As the CEO of the clothing company, Deng Di had several key subordinates. The clothing factory in Shenzhen was managed by Liu Shulin, the second son of the Liu family, while Jiang Shan, the fourth son of the Jiang family, left Shenzhen to establish a branch factory in Shanghai. The clothing factory in Zhuhai was managed by Liu Shusen, the third son of the Liu family, while Jiang Yang, the fifth son of the Jiang family, left Zhuhai to establish a branch factory in Hong Kong.

Why are it mostly the Jiang brothers who venture out? It's because the Jiang brothers are quick-witted, enterprising, and suited to making their own way in the world. The Liu brothers, on the other hand, are honest and reliable, better suited to maintaining existing businesses.

Liu Shumu was in charge of the clothing factory in Kyoto. Like his other brothers, he had come from the Kyoto clothing factory when he left home.

Shengjing Garment Factory No. 1 was managed by Hua Jingzhen, while Garment Factory No. 2 was managed by Liang Dong's younger sister, Liang Jialing, and Liang Jiazhu.

Miao Xianxing handed over Yanxi Trading Company to Meng Han, who in turn handed over the Shenzhen Trading Company to Su Peng, the second son of the Su family, and the Zhuhai Trading Company to Su Xiao, the third son of the Su family.

Miao Xianxing appointed Yang Shu, Miao Wei, and He Xiao as the general managers of the three joint venture automobile plants.

Yang Shu is in charge of the joint venture Mercedes-Benz factories, including those in Zhushi and Kyoto. Yang Shu appointed Tai Ran's second elder brother, Tai Yizhi, as the general manager of the Zhushi Mercedes-Benz factory. He also appointed Chu Xiu's eldest elder brother, Chu Jiaguo, as the general manager of the Kyoto Mercedes-Benz factory.

Miao Wei is in charge of the joint venture BMW car plants, including those in Shenzhen and Kyoto. Miao Wei appointed Hai Yitian's younger brother, Hai Yise, as the general manager of the Shenzhen BMW car plant. He also appointed Liang Dong's younger brother, Liang Cai, as the general manager of the Kyoto BMW car plant.

He Xiao was in charge of the joint venture Volkswagen plants, including those in Zhushi and Kyoto. He Xiao appointed Tai Ran's eldest brother, Tai Chunzhi, as the general manager of the Zhushi Volkswagen plant. He appointed Chu Xiu's second brother, Chu Jiafu, as the general manager of the Kyoto Volkswagen plant.

Li Tiezhu, the head of the joint venture Lu'an Automobile Factory, appointed Chu Xiu's third brother, Chu Jiamin, as the general manager of Shenzhen Lu'an Automobile Factory; Chu Xiu's fourth brother, Chu Jiaqiang, as the general manager of Zhuhai Lu'an Automobile Factory; Sheng Fang's eldest brother, Sheng Shi, as the general manager of Beijing Lu'an Automobile Factory; and Sheng Fang's younger brother, Sheng Hua, as the general manager of Shengjing Lu'an Automobile Factory.

Chai Lu handed over Jiu'er Trading to Luo Rui, who then mentored Hai Yitian's two younger sisters, Hai Meili and Hai Meijuan. He appointed Hai Yitian's eldest sister, Hai Meili, as the general manager of Jiu'er Trading in Shenzhen, Hai Yitian's youngest sister, Hai Meijuan, as the general manager of Jiu'er Trading in Zhuhai, and Chai Lu's younger brother, Chai Guang, as the general manager of Jiu'er Trading in Harbin.

Besides Jiu'er Trading Company, Chailu also has several large shopping malls in major cities.

Su Quan was in charge of the shopping mall in Kyoto and also oversaw other shopping malls. Liu Shuren was in charge of the shopping mall in Shengjing, and Hua Jingqi was in charge of the shopping mall in Shenzhen.

Liu Quan was in charge of the construction company under the Yanxi Group, which started in Kyoto and gradually expanded to the whole country.

Liang Dong is in charge of both the pharmaceutical and cosmetic factories under the Yanxi Group. At the Kyoto Pharmaceutical Factory, Liang Dong appointed Ronglu as the factory manager. Jiang Song, the eldest son of the Jiang family, had been learning from Ronglu and was later appointed by Liang Dong as the factory manager of the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Factory.

The Kyoto TV factory, a subsidiary of the Yanxi Group, is managed by Hai Yitian.

Both Yanxi Group and Yaojiu Group have stakes in mobile phone and computer companies, which are also managed by Hai Yitian.

As the CEO of the electronics company, Hai Yitian also cultivated his own people, but he didn't use his relatives or people from Shuanglou Village. Instead, he used his classmates from night school.

Not only Hai Yitian went to night school, but all the people from Shuanglou Village went to night school, including Tai Ranzhi's brothers. Qiu Jiu was the initiator of the night school program. Initially, they wanted to study for the college entrance exam, but they were too busy with work, and even if they passed, they wouldn't have time to attend. In the end, Qiu Jiu learned about night school, so they all went to study there.

Miao Xianxing is the president of Yanxi Group, holding 10% of the shares in the entire group and 10% of the shares in the various business companies under the group.

Liang Dong, Hai Yitian, Qiu Jiu, Liu Quan, Kong Wen, Li Tiezhu, Deng Di, Meng Han, Yang Shu, Miao Wei, and He Xiao are the vice presidents of Yanxi Group, each holding one percent of the group's shares and five percent of the shares of their respective business companies.

Each branch manager owns one percent of the shares in the company they manage.

As Hua Yan's assistant, Kong Wen enjoys 0.5 percent of the shares in all of Hua Yan's businesses, which is an affirmation of his abilities. In addition, he also manages the heavy machinery factory in Shengjing.

Jiu'er Group was originally owned 50/50 by Hua Jingxing and Chai Lu. Later, Chai Lu and Hua Jingxing decided they couldn't leave Liang Dong and Hai Yitian out of the picture. So, Chai Lu, Hua Jingxing, Hai Yitian, and Liang Dong each held 20% of the shares, Hua Yan held 18%, and Luo Rui and Su Quan held 1%. Chai Lu became the group's president, and Luo Rui and Su Quan became vice presidents. Luo Rui was in charge of commerce, and Su Quan was in charge of the shopping mall.

Chai Lu and Hua Yan each hold 45% of the shares in Jiu'er Commerce and Trade and Jiu'er Shopping Mall. Luo Rui holds 5% of the shares in Jiu'er Commerce and Trade, and Su Quan holds 5% of the shares in Jiu'er Shopping Mall.

Each branch manager owns one percent of the shares in the company they manage.

Hua Yan gave Hu Zhiang, Zhang Tao, Liu Liang, and An Xin 1% of the shares in Yanxi Group, but they did not participate in management. Su Ying and Gu Decai, as the logistics managers of the Kyoto business unit, each held 0.5% of the group's shares.

Let Zhang Tao set up the group's finance department, and let Taiji set up the research and development department. One is a department that keeps an eye on the money, and the other is a department that thinks about how to make money.

Let Kong Wen set up departments such as human resources, legal affairs, strategic planning, and operations to improve the group's operations.

However, all these departments are under Miao's management.

Designer Wang Fei owns one percent of the shares in the clothing factory under the Yanxi Group.

In Shengjing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Chu Xiu owns 10% of the shares, Sheng Fang owns 10% of the shares, and Li Yang owns 5% of the shares.

In Kyoto Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Liu Zhiyi holds 20% of the shares, and Wang Ming holds 5% of the shares.

The shareholding of Kyoto Pharmaceutical Factory will remain unchanged according to the proportion previously agreed upon by Huayan and Ronglu.

From then on, all of Hua Yan's businesses had specific people in charge and each enjoyed a certain share.

As the number of industries invested in increases, more talents will join the companies under the Yanxi Group. If there are outstanding talents, Huayan will still reward them with corresponding shares.

In 1991, Dr. Hua Yan graduated and completely left Yenching University. On the surface, she seemed to be focused on business, but in reality, she was still concerned about the safety of China.

But to Hua Yan's surprise, Bao Qixuan, who had already been recommended for a master's degree, suddenly said to her:

"Jiu'er, my mom and dad have already treated you like their own daughter, and I also consider you a close friend. Although you are only thirteen years old now, I will wait for you to grow up, and I hope you will not forget me."

Hua Yan may be a child, but her soul is that of a woman in her forties. How could she not understand Bao Qixuan's implied meaning?

She never expected Bao Qixuan to have such feelings for her, but he didn't say it outright, and she was just a child, so she couldn't bring anything to the surface.

"Brother Xuan, I consider you and Brother Yuan as my own brothers. I will never forget you, and I will come to visit Teacher He and Uncle Bao often in the future."

Haha! I treat you like a brother, you should know what I mean!

Bao Qixuan smiled. He thought Hua Yan was still too young. Although she had completed her doctorate, she hadn't yet figured out how to be romantic. So when she called him her brother, she was just trying to express her closeness to him.

It's alright, he can wait. He won't give up on such an outstanding girl easily. He absolutely cannot let those two boys, Fu Lin and Fu Wang, succeed.

Haha! What Hua Yan didn't know was that Bao Qixuan had already regarded Fu Lin Fu Wang as a potential enemy.

When Fu Lin and Fu Wang learned that Hua Yan had been recommended for a master's degree, they were not shocked, but rather annoyed.

Why did they send their little sister Jiu'er to another place? She used to disappear all the time when they were in school, and now she's stopped coming to their class altogether.

In order to continue to interact with Hua Yan, Fu Lin and Fu Wang began to work hard. Originally, these two boys, like Hua Yan, had skipped grades all the way to university, so their intelligence was beyond that of ordinary people.

No matter how hard they tried, they could never catch up to Hua Yan. They finally managed to get into master's programs, while Hua Yan had already started her doctoral studies. By the time they were eligible for their doctorates, Hua Yan had already graduated.

To say that Fu Lin and Fu Wang have any other feelings for Hua Yan is really hard to tell, and I don't know how Bao Qixuan figured it out either.

"Jiu'er, it's a promise, come to our house whenever you have time. Your parents hope to see you often."

Bao Qixuan ruffled Hua Yan's hair. This gesture was too ambiguous. If it weren't for his previous confession, Hua Yan would have just thought it was a brother's doting affection for his sister. Now, she felt a little awkward.

It seems I'll have to stay away from Bao Qixuan from now on, otherwise Taiji will be incredibly jealous if he sees this!

Fortunately, Taiji is currently studying in Massachusetts, Country A, and has no idea that such a young girl has already been targeted by a scoundrel.

Hua Yan sensed danger, immediately said goodbye, and darted into her dormitory.

Seriously, how could such an accident happen!

It seems that everything has a cause and effect. In her previous life, she failed to save Bao Wenjun, which plunged He Fang's family into hardship and caused Bao Qixuan to mature prematurely and take on the burden of the family.

In this life, Bao Wenjun's illness was cured by Hua Yan, and she became healthy again. She also achieved success in her career and had a harmonious family, which made Bao Qixuan's life fulfilling. He also developed special feelings for Hua Yan.

In her previous life, Hua Yan didn't know that He Fang had two sons. She only found out after getting to know He Fang's family in this life.

It turned out that He Fang and Bao Wenjun had been married for five years without having children. When they went to the hospital for a checkup, it turned out the problem was with He Fang. He Fang felt very guilty about this, and later adopted a child from a collateral branch of Bao Wenjun's family—Bao Qixuan.

Bao Qixuan's parents were college students working in the geological department. During an outdoor exploration, they were involved in an accident and both died, leaving behind five-year-old Bao Qixuan.

Bao Qixuan's grandparents were in poor health and had a hard time taking care of him. Someone knew that Bao Wenjun wanted to adopt a child, so they suggested that they adopt Bao Qixuan.

He Fang and Bao Wenjun are both college students with high personal qualities and good family backgrounds.

Bao Qixuan's grandparents did not object because they could not provide the child with better conditions.

And so, Bao Qixuan was adopted by Bao Wenjun and He Fang. The two of them treated Bao Qixuan as their own child and taught him with great care.

Five years later, He Fang unexpectedly brought good news: she was pregnant. A year later, she gave birth to Bao Qiyuan.

Despite having a biological son, He Fang and Bao Wenjun continued to care for Bao Qixuan as always, without any change.

This made Bao Qixuan truly regard them as his parents, and he studied hard, not only skipping grades but also becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Kyoto.

Bao Qixuan was initially jealous of Hua Yan; this girl didn't need to attend classes and yet still got perfect scores in every subject. Later, he admired her; this young girl was even younger than him and yet so capable—truly remarkable. Then, Hua Yan cured Bao Wenjun's illness, and he was grateful to her. As they spent more time together, he found his feelings changing; he had fallen in love with this girl.

This series of changes led Bao Qixuan to speak today.

Hua Yan only feels close to Bao Qixuan as a brother, and has no other feelings for him, so she must stay away from him.
