After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Li Ronghua nodded and replied, "Yes. Although Mingyu has taken the position of general manager of the group, Cheng Guangzhi has also gained a lot of benefits this time.

I was afraid that Cheng Guangzhi would cause trouble again, so I discussed with my eldest brother and asked Li Yan to return home early.

Besides, now that Jiawei has left the group, she and Li Yan are no longer in competition.

The eldest brother asked Jiawei for her opinion. Fortunately, Jiawei was sensible and agreed to let Li Yan come back early.

Jing Qiu was quite pleased with Li Jiawei's withdrawal and Li Yan's fight for the group's inheritance rights, and said, "If she had known it would be like this, why would she have fought for it in the first place?

Li Yan is her elder brother. If she can fully support Li Yan and the brothers and sisters work together in the group, they will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

When Li Yan takes over the company, will he still treat her unfairly? "

Hearing his wife's words, Li Ronghua couldn't help but sigh. He knew in his heart that Li Jiawei was definitely not the kind of person who would willingly be inferior to others. This could be seen from the fact that she would rather leave the Li Group and invest in Professor Xu Zhili's research and development project.

"It's fine the way it is now. If the brother and sister don't get along, don't force them together, lest there be any unpleasantness and make others laugh at them.

Besides, it’s a good thing that Jiawei left the Li Group, otherwise I’d really worry that Li Yan wouldn’t be able to control her in the future.”

Jing Qiu looked at Li Ronghua and sighed helplessly: "Jiawei is just too competitive. She wants everything and wants everything. But we have given her enough over the years!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Why didn't Jiawei understand their parents' wishes? They just wanted their children to get along well with their siblings and live happily as a family.

Li Ronghua patted his wife's shoulder gently and comforted her, "Okay, don't think too much. They are all adults now and have their own way of dealing with things. As parents, we should not interfere too much.

You've been on the plane for such a long time and you must be exhausted. Go get some rest early."

Since Li Jiawei knew that her mother and elder brother had returned to China, she naturally wanted to visit them.

So, after breakfast the next day, she took Sui Sui and Nian Nian to the villa where her parents lived.

When he arrived, his parents were having breakfast. Seeing Li Jiawei and her two children come in, Jing Qiu was very happy. He quickly put down his chopsticks and called Sui Sui and Niannian to chat with him.

The two children are now in the kindergarten class and speak very clearly and coherently.

Moreover, these two little guys are very sweet-talkers and have a way of coaxing people. They made Jing Qiu smile without saying a few words.

After spending some time with the two children, Jing Qiu looked at Li Jiawei and asked, "Where's Xiao Yi? Why didn't he come with us?"

Li Jiawei smiled and said, "He's out of town filming a movie."

Hearing this, Jing Qiu frowned slightly and said, "Didn't they say Xiao Yi had switched to working behind the scenes? Why is he back to filming again?"

Li Jiawei naturally didn't tell her mother that Xiao Yi was filming this to repay a favor to the director. She just said, "The script was very well written. Xiao Yi liked it very much, so he took it."

Jing Qiu said: "The entertainment industry is too complicated, you have to be more careful.

Besides, you guys are not short of money now, so why let Xiao Yi suffer in the entertainment industry?"

Before Li Jiawei could respond, Nian Nian, who was leaning on her arms, rushed in and said, "Grandma, my mom and I went to see Dad a few days ago. Dad is so amazing. He plays a great hero. When I grow up, I want to be a big star like Dad."

Nian Nian is closest to Xiao Yi and will not tolerate anyone saying anything bad about his father.

Although he was young, he could hear the dissatisfaction with his father's job in his grandmother's tone. As his father's most beloved little baby, he naturally stood firmly on his father's side.

Jing Qiu didn't expect Nian Nian to refute her, and subconsciously looked down at Nian Nian. She saw the little guy staring at her seriously, and Jing Qiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She didn't expect to be "taught a lesson" by her own little grandson.

"Okay, okay, your dad is the best. Grandma was wrong, okay?"

Seeing her grandmother admit her mistake, Niannian nodded obediently, then took out a piece of candy from the bear pocket of her shirt and handed it to Jingqiu: "Grandma, Mom said that if you can admit your mistakes immediately after doing something wrong, you are a good child. Niannian will reward you with a bear candy."

Li Jiawei couldn't help but smile as she watched her mother lower her head to take the candy bear from Nian Nian's hand and eat it.

She always knew that her mother was dissatisfied with Xiao Yi's career as an actor, but she never said it out loud, so Li Jiawei naturally pretended not to know.

She and Xiao Yi live their lives together, and even their parents should not interfere in their lives.

What's more, Xiao Yi's current status in the entertainment industry is far ahead of others.

And people in the entertainment industry don’t know that he is already married and his wife is the boss behind Universal Pictures.

So, with such a background, which female artist would be so irrational as to dare to provoke Xiao Yi?

I am afraid that by then not only will I not be able to gain any benefits, but I will also face the risk of being banned at any time.

At this moment, Li Yan walked in and saw Li Jiawei sitting on the sofa. He was slightly startled, then asked calmly, without any strangeness, "Jiawei, when did you come?"

Hearing the sound, Li Jiawei quickly turned around and saw Li Yan walking in.

She slowly stood up, looked at Li Yan and said with a smile: "Brother, long time no see."

Li Yan smiled slightly and said, "Long time no see!"

Then, he saw Sui Sui and Nian Nian nestled in their parents' arms. A loving expression appeared on his face. He then bent down and asked, "This is Sui Sui and Nian Nian, right? Do you remember who I am?"

Suisui and Nian Nian stood up from the arms of Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu and ran to Li Yan together. The two little guys shouted in unison: "Hello, uncle!"

When Li Yan heard the two clear baby voices, he was filled with joy. He hugged the two little guys and cuddled with them for a while.

Jing Qiu knew that Li Yan came here early this morning and must have something to say, so he ordered the servants at home to take Sui Sui and Niannian to the playroom to play.

After Sui Sui and Nian Nian left, Li Yan sat down across from Li Jiawei and said with a smile, "Jiawei, thank you so much. If you hadn't spoken up for me in front of my uncle, I probably wouldn't be able to return home yet."

Li Jiawei said, "Brother, you're too serious. Your return was mainly due to Dad's suggestion. It has nothing to do with me."

Li Yan was slightly stunned. He wanted to express his goodwill to Li Jiawei, but his sister didn't seem to appreciate it.

The smile on Li Yan's face instantly vanished. Since she didn't want to reconcile with him, Li Yan wouldn't rush to ease the relationship with Li Jiawei. He immediately changed the subject and asked, "I heard you're planning to acquire Huayang Machinery Manufacturing Plant? Are you planning to enter the engine manufacturing industry?"

Li Jiawei really didn't expect that Li Yan would be so well-informed. The matter of her cooperation with Wei Jiaming to acquire Huayang Machinery Manufacturing Plant was still kept strictly confidential. She didn't expect that her elder brother Li Yan would know about it less than a day after returning to China.

It seemed that her big brother had been sending people to keep an eye on her movements. Thinking of this, Li Jiawei couldn't help but feel a little amused. "Big brother, your information channels are really well-informed. I have never disclosed the acquisition of Huayang Machinery Manufacturing Plant to the outside world. I didn't expect you to know about it as soon as you returned to China. It seems that my confidentiality work was not done well."

Li Yan naturally heard the sarcasm in Li Jiawei's words. She was just saying that he was doing some tricks in secret.

But then again, how many people these days can honestly say they've never secretly investigated their competitors? Isn't this just standard business practice?

Li Yan forced a smile and said, "So the acquisition plan hasn't been made public yet? I heard about it as soon as I returned to China. I thought it wasn't a secret."

Li Ronghua was either busy pushing Li Mingyu to the top, or busy fighting with Cheng Guangzhi, or trying to get Li Yan to return to China as soon as possible. He really didn't pay attention to what Li Jiawei was doing after leaving the Li Group.

Therefore, he had no idea that Li Jiawei was planning to acquire Huayang Machinery Manufacturing Plant, which was completely different from her investment in Professor Xu Zhili's engine research and development project.

"Jiawei, are you planning to enter the engine industry?" Li Ronghua asked with a frown. If Li Jiawei really did this, it would mean forming a competitive relationship with the Li Group.

Li Jiawei said, "We are still in talks with the person in charge of Huayang Machinery Factory, and nothing has been finalized yet."

Li Ronghua ignored Li Jiawei's words and said sternly, "Why didn't you discuss such a big thing with me? What would the outside world think if they found out? My daughter setting up her own business and competing with the family company? Wouldn't that make our Li family a laughing stock?"

Li Jiawei looked at her father's furrowed brow and the fading smile on her mother Jing Qiu's face, and said, "Brother just said that everyone knows about my acquisition of Huayang Machinery Factory, but I haven't heard any negative comments from the outside world during this period. Dad, you're overthinking it."

Li Jiawei's words choked Li Yan, who was speechless. He felt that the words he had just said were like a boomerang, hitting him back.

However, Li Ronghua did not argue with Li Jiawei on this issue. Instead, he directly stated his position firmly: "Immediately terminate contact with Huayang Machinery Factory. I do not agree with your acquisition of Huayang Machinery Factory!"

Hearing her father Li Ronghua's resolute opposition, Li Jiawei sighed helplessly and said, "Dad, even if I acquire Huayang Machinery Factory, its scale is far less than that of the Li Group.

Moreover, the machinery manufacturing market is vast. Even if I don't participate, do you think other investors will not get involved in this field because they are afraid of the Li Group?"

Li Ronghua stared at Li Jiawei and asked in a stern tone, "Have you already planned every subsequent step since you decided to leave the Li Group?"

Li Jiawei did not deny that one should think long-term when doing things. For a company like theirs that involves huge investments, if they just take one step at a time, they will probably be swallowed up by other capitals soon.

Seeing that Li Jiawei did not deny it, Li Ronghua could not help but sighed: "I was wondering why you would rather give up your position as the general manager of the Li Group and insist on investing in Professor Xu Zhili's research and development project. It turns out that your ultimate goal is Huayang Machinery Manufacturing Plant.

"I used to say I didn't trust Huanyu Auto, but now it seems like it was all just an excuse!"

As he spoke, Li Ronghua suddenly raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the coffee table. The loud "bang" sound shocked Jing Qiu, who was sitting next to him.

Jing Qiu had never seen Li Ronghua so angry before. He quickly shook his hand, then looked at Li Jiawei and said, "Jiawei, listen to your father. We can't control whether others enter this industry or not, but you can't do this."

"I have reported this matter to my uncle, and he has agreed." Li Jiawei said to her parents.

After hearing what she said, Li Ronghua looked up at her and asked, "Have you told your uncle about this?"

Li Jiawei nodded: "I said it!"

Li Ronghua immediately took out his cell phone and called his elder brother Li Hongxing directly, but the call was answered by Li Hongxing's secretary.

Li Hongxing was in an important meeting and his cell phone was with his secretary.

Li Ronghua knew that the meeting his elder brother was holding was of high importance, so he naturally didn't dare to let his secretary disturb him. After asking the secretary about the end time of the meeting, he said, "I'll call him after the meeting is over."

Li Ronghua hung up the phone and looked at Li Yan: "What brings you here today?"

Seeing that his father was angry, Li Yan said politely, "I'm worried about Mom. She's been on the plane for such a long time, I'm afraid she can't handle it, so I came to check on her."

Li Ronghua was quite satisfied with Li Yan's answer. He thought that his son was quite filial and that everything he and his wife had done for him was not in vain.

Jing Qiu knew that things might get tough between her husband and Jia Wei today, and she didn't want Li Yan to get involved, so she said to Li Yan, "I'm fine. You've been tired these days, so go back and have a good rest."

Li Yan was very smart. Although he had provoked the incident, he did not want to be implicated. After hearing what his mother said, he said to his father Li Ronghua, "Dad, since Mom is fine, I will go back first.

At noon I have to accompany Xinlan and take the two children to visit her parents."

Li Ronghua glanced at Li Yan and waved his hand: "Then you go back first!"

Li Jiawei looked at Li Yan's back as he left in a leisurely manner, and couldn't help feeling annoyed. He had lit the fire, but didn't want to get involved in any trouble.

Li Jiawei lowered her eyes, her eyes full of disdain for her elder brother's irresponsible behavior.

A person who wants to take over the Li Group only thinks about gaining benefits, but is unwilling to take any responsibility and only knows how to play tricks.

Just like Uncle Liang said, this kind of person has no big picture, and even if they gain power, it will be difficult for them to keep it.

Li Ronghua looked at Li Jiawei sitting there calmly, showing no sign of backing down in the face of his anger, and asked, "Huayang Machinery Manufacturing Plant is a large enterprise. You definitely can't handle it alone. Who are you working with?"

Li Jiawei answered frankly: "Mr. Wei Jiaming, and Uncle Liang." There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing. Now that the truth has been revealed, her father will know it as soon as he investigates.
