Rebirth and making money first

Zhang Jing never expected that this matter would be resolved in such a wonderful way. However, she still had a little worry in her heart, worried that Gao Wei would not be able to get past Alan's parents. At work, she was in a depressed mood and her thoughts were in a mess. Just then, Gao Wei called:

"Sister Jing, my dear sister! Brother Chen mentioned this matter of Alan to me and said it was you who suggested it?"

Zhang Jing was surprised: "You don't want to?"

"Yes, of course! I was a little confused at first, but then Brother Chen gave me a detailed analysis. He also explained the choices made by Xiao Zuo and you. You are both smarter and richer than me. What else can I complain about? What I am most grateful for is that you still care about my lifelong event."

Zhang Jing thought to himself that he just wanted to get rid of this factor that might affect the stability of his marriage, and he seemed to be overthinking it.

"Aren't you going to meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law today?"

"Yes! But I don't know what gift to buy, so I would like to ask Sister Jing for advice." Gao Wei's tone was filled with a hint of anxiety.

Zhang Jing smiled and replied, "There are many choices in the mall, such as milk powder for the middle-aged and elderly, cereal, fruit, and boxes of pure milk. These are all great gifts!"

Gao Wei was still a little worried and asked, "But what if her parents don't like me?"

Zhang Jing comforted him, "Don't be too nervous. They just want to see what kind of person you are. Just present yourself as an honest and loyal person, without any ulterior motives. Let them know that you're a reliable person who can take good care of A-lan and shoulder the responsibilities of the family, providing for the elderly couple until their death."

After hearing this, Gao Wei felt more at ease and said, "I understand. Thank you, Sister Jing." Then he hung up the phone.

Zhang Jing put down her phone and prayed silently that everything would go well, but at the same time she also knew that she couldn't intervene too much and could only wait and see.

Mrs. Xu was used to Zhang Jing's absences from school. She knew she needed more rest and care after her pregnancy. She always said tolerantly, "Taking care of your two babies is more important than anything else! Learning how to make a simple skirt is enough. Nowadays, anyone with money can buy one. Who has the time to make one themselves?"

"Don't worry, I'll slowly make a few sets of baby suits. I don't know if you're having a boy or a girl, so I can only make a few sets of each."

Zhang Jing immediately dissuaded him, "Don't exhaust yourself. Your health is your top priority here. Nothing else matters!"

"I know, no need to nag me. How's your appetite? I made some fish soup, would you like a bowl?" Mrs. Xu asked Zhang Jing with concern. Zhang Jing refused.

"I heard you're investing in stocks. How's it going?" Mrs. Xu asked with concern. Zhang Jing gave an awkward smile. "I haven't looked at my stocks in ages, so I don't know how much I've earned." She thought to herself that she really didn't care much about stocks, having only occasionally heard about investing.

Old Mrs. Xu frowned and said reproachfully, "You're such a careless kid! That's real money invested. You need to be more careful! Tell me quickly, what stocks did you buy?"

Zhang Jing looked at Mrs. Xu in surprise and asked curiously, "Madam, you also understand stocks?" Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes and said proudly, "When I was trading stocks, you were still going to school with your schoolbag on your back!"

"Oh my! So, godmother, you're the stock market tycoon! Please accept my respects!" Zhang Jing playfully exclaimed, causing Old Lady Xu to burst into laughter. She raised her eyebrows and urged Zhang Jing, "Alright, stop playing around. Now, can you tell me about your stock market situation?"

"Yes, absolutely," Zhang Jing said readily, sitting down at Mrs. Xu's computer and expertly opening the stock market page. She quickly searched for the four stocks she held, and the screen displayed red, green, and yellow lines. After a careful calculation, she realized her assets had shrunk significantly again, and a pang of pain welled up in her heart.

Mrs. Xu looked at Zhang Jing's expression, shook her head and said, "I think you should sell out your Fuyao and Gunkuang stocks."

Zhang Jing was a little reluctant and frowned and said, "Godmother, this will be a big loss for me."

"You're such a blockhead!" Old Mrs. Xu said angrily. "Fuyao's stock has been trading sideways for a long time. How long are you going to wait? Are you trying to fall in love with it? Pull your funds out immediately and buy more profitable stocks."

Zhang Jing listened to Mrs. Xu's words and felt they made perfect sense. Without hesitation, she began to sell all of her shares in Fuyao and Gunkuang right under Mrs. Xu's nose. Looking at the loss in her account, Zhang Jing was so distressed that she didn't want to speak.

However, she had no intention of selling the shares in the other mine. She thought that as long as she persevered, she would eventually be able to see the light of day.

Old Madam Xu taunted Zhang Jing, "Don't call me your goddaughter or your apprentice anymore. I've noticed your IQ and EQ are a bit off. I'm worried about one thing now—if the property is left to you, you might not be able to keep it!"

Zhang Jing said, "Old lady, the scriptures always say that leaving money to your descendants doesn't guarantee they'll keep it; leaving books to your descendants doesn't guarantee they'll read them; only leaving good deeds to your descendants can bring them benefits. So you don't need to leave any property to me, really!"

"Shut up right there! Sell that damn mine of yours right now. I won't allow you to just sit there and do nothing in the stock market. Since you don't want to learn how to make clothes anymore, why don't you learn financial management from me in the future?" Old Mrs. Xu made the final decision.

Zhang Jing ignored Mrs. Xu's anger and defied the trend: "You always say you're a veteran in stock trading. Prove it to me!" Mrs. Xu said: "I'm afraid you'll be ashamed!"

Mrs. Xu opened her trading account and saw a dazzling red screen. Zhang Jing counted the strings of zeros several times. She had tens of millions in assets! And she only had three stocks in her account: Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai Airport, and Shanghai Jahwa.

These three stocks are all well-known companies in Shanghai with stable performance and good development prospects. Mrs. Xu held these stocks with unique vision and firm belief, enjoying the rich returns brought by long-term investment.

Zhang Jing stared at the numbers on the screen with wide eyes, in disbelief. She had originally thought that Mrs. Xu was just an ordinary stockholder, but she had never expected her to possess such a vast fortune. She couldn't help but look at Mrs. Xu with new eyes, a surge of admiration welling up in her heart.

Mrs. Xu laughed triumphantly. "How's that? Do you believe in my abilities now?" Zhang Jing nodded awkwardly. "Madam, you're amazing! I really underestimated you before." Mrs. Xu waved her hand. "That's nothing! As long as you study hard, you can achieve good results."

Little did Zhang Jing know that in the years ahead, she would earnestly learn investment and financial management from Mrs. Xu, gradually mastering some techniques and methods. She realized that the stock market wasn't a simple gamble, but rather a field requiring in-depth research and rational decision-making. Through her continued efforts, Zhang Jing's investment returns also increased significantly.

The cost price of Mrs. Xu's three stocks was over one yuan, over four yuan, and over two yuan. But the amount was huge, and it was indeed a long time ago. I was still in junior high school at that time, and I still read romance novels!

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Jing decided to listen to Mrs. Xu and sell her own mine. But then she curiously asked her why she bought all the stocks in Shanghai. Mrs. Xu replied, "Why? I'm from Shanghai. Of course I support my hometown with my money!"

Zhang Jing said, "Well, my ancestral home is in Shandong. I'll also look for companies worth buying. I have to support the development of my hometown!" Mrs. Xu was furious: "You can't even hold your position for a while! You have to lose all your money, right? I tell you, come and learn when you have time, and then you can trade!"

Seeing Zhang Jing's unhappy look, he said, "I don't know how many days I can live, but you still have a lot of time left. You're simple-minded, and you don't have anyone to rely on. But as long as you have money and children, you'll be better off than me when you're old. I don't blame you for not understanding me now, but you'll understand when you reach my age!"

Zhang Jing stopped arguing. Her mother had a salary and savings in her previous life, and she had children, yet she still didn't have a happy ending. This just goes to show how miserable most people become when they get old. It wasn't about that. Mrs. Xu was just speaking from her own feelings, so she decided to just go along with her.

Achen came to pick up Zhang Jing with a bag of fruit. Zhang Jing asked him where it came from, and he said that Brother Gao gave it to Zhang Jing to eat.

Zhang Jing asked Achen, "Do you think Brother Gao looks happy or unhappy?" Achen replied, "He looks happy! He went to Alan's house for dinner. If I had known, I would have gone too!"

"You're not invited, so don't go. It will make Alan's parents unhappy!"

"Alan also invited me to go, but Brother Gao told me to work hard. He will go as a representative."

"Even if Alan invites you, you have to notify me. You are not allowed to wander around alone. We are married and we have to act together. Do you remember?"
