Rebirth and making money first

After attending the wedding, Naituanzi couldn't forget it and said she wanted to be a bride too. When asked why, she said she could wear a beautiful princess dress, "It would be so beautiful!" Naituanzi said seriously.

Zhang Jing said, "You need to find a man to marry you before you can wear it at the wedding."

Soon Zhang Zhi called: "What did you say to my daughter? She's chasing her father and wants to marry him! She also asked me when she can get married? I said after she turns 25."

"Hahahaha," Zhang Jing laughed and recounted the details of her wedding. "She just wants to wear a wedding dress. How can a child have so many thoughts? If that doesn't work out, take her to take some artistic photos. Oh, and my mother-in-law got some free photography coupons when she was shopping at the mall last time. Ask her for them and try. They're free anyway!"

Zhang Zhi said, "I still don't understand the ins and outs of this. They only give you a few for free, and you have to pay for the rest. They destroy the ones they don't want, right in front of you. If you don't want to give them away, then pay for it!"

Zhang Jing said, "It's okay if you can resist destroying it, but I'm afraid the rest will be used for commercial purposes, and you'll have nowhere to complain. They'll make you sign a contract first, and there are a lot of traps."

Zhang Zhi said, "Then I might as well buy her a princess dress to save her the trouble!"

"Your girl is chubby, are you sure she'll look good in a skirt?"

"You think so too? I thought I was the only one who thought so! Then I'll think about it again."

Zhang Jing didn't expect that Zhang Zhi would discuss with her mother-in-law and take Naituanzi to take a free photo shoot.

Zhang Jing saw a cheongsam for girls and thought it would be suitable for her. But when she asked the price, she backed off. There were cheaper options, but the quality was appalling. After some thought, she decided to go to Old Lady Xu.

Old Mrs. Xu looked at Zhang Jing with disdain: "By the time you remember, you won't even be able to eat the daylily. I've already prepared several sets."

She pulled out a few small cheongsams of various colors, beautiful and eye-catching. Zhang Jing said, "I'm so envious. Do you have one of mine?" Mrs. Xu said, "Yours won't come that fast! Even if a woman never wears one in her life, she should have a cheongsam in her wardrobe!"

Zhang Jing praised her, "It has to be you! You don't know, when I took that little girl to the wedding, she fell in love with the bride's wedding dress. She came back and insisted on wearing it, and even chased her father to get married and let him be the groom!"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she burst into tears. "This child is smart. Don't worry, I can make wedding dresses too. I just don't have the materials. You can buy them and I'll make them!" Zhang Jing asked, "Are we spoiling our child too much?"

"If I don't spoil her, then I'm spoiling you. Children's happiness and wishes are easy to satisfy, but for us adults, there are some things we really can't do. Don't you understand? Oh, and I haven't asked you yet, how are your financial management studies going recently? Tell me."

Zhang Jing touched her nose awkwardly. "The more I learn, the more lost I feel. I don't dare to act rashly like I did before."

"That's right! That's real money, not a math game. You have to have a sense of awe." Mrs. Xu said, "You live your life for yourself. No one else's money is as good as yours! Hold on to your money tightly, and you'll have fewer worries. Because many problems are about money."

"I know!" Zhang Jing answered obediently.

"It's not enough to just know it. You have to remember it in your heart and engrave it in your bones!" Old Mrs. Xu warned earnestly, "Don't think I'm annoying. We are destined to be together. How long can I live? I'm just worried about you! You're just like another me. You stumbled and broke your head so many times before you realized the truth. I hope you take fewer detours and never reach the brink of despair with no one to help you!"

Zhang Jing was deeply moved. She couldn't help but hug Mrs. Xu. "I will definitely live a good life and never let myself get to that point! You've been helping me out, and if I were still so useless, I'd be letting you down. How low must my IQ be?"

Mrs. Xu blushed. "Don't bother with me. Be careful with the baby in your belly. Bring the cloth when you've bought it. And bring the little girl to me. I miss her so much after not seeing her for so long."

"No problem, just wait for my news!"

As soon as Zhang Jing returned, she asked about wedding dress fabric. Zhang Zhi said the wholesale market should have some; she'd seen some at the Yiwu Small Commodities City in Huizhou. She was also impressed by the small cheongsams Zhang Jing brought back. She asked Zhang Jing, "Can your godmother make one for me? You can't wear one while you're pregnant, but I can! How about you take me with you to visit the old lady next time? Don't worry, I'll buy all the fabric and give her some delicious treats."

Zhang Jing said, "Hurry up, if the old lady can't hold on, forget it."

Zhang Zhi said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

"Put these cheongsams away first and don't let the little brat see them. Otherwise, you'll wear them every day and won't be able to wait until your wedding dress is ready. Please postpone your photo shoot until the dress is ready."

"Okay, why don't I take a few pictures too. I can just take a few free ones anyway." Zhang Zhi planned.

Zhang Jing didn't comment, she didn't have time to chatter.

Director Chen invited her to dinner, saying Gao Wei and Alan would also be there. It was a thank-you dinner, a thank-you to Zhang Jing and Director Chen. Zhang Jing felt the meal was a bit unsafe, but she couldn't refuse, so she accepted. Just in case, she told Achen not to pick her up herself.

Director Chen's car arrived at the door and he even greeted Li Xiangyue when he saw her. Li Xiangyue, knowing it was a thank-you dinner for the media, declined to attend, saying they'd eat there next time.

Zhang Jing was surprised to see Ah Chen in the car. Director Chen said, "It's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks. Let's have some fun together." Zhang Jing quickly called her grandfather to inform him that they both had dinner together and would not be going back for dinner. Grandpa said, "Your sister is here with the kids. They're eating here. You guys take care of yourselves!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jing realized something was wrong. Zhang Zhi had taken the children to her grandfather's house for dinner? Was that too much of a sense of boundaries? She suppressed her discomfort and decided to find time to discuss this with Zhang Jing.

Alan and Gao Wei were waiting at the restaurant. As soon as the three of them arrived, Gao Wei ordered the food. Considering the need to drive, the pregnant woman, and the two vulnerable people, everyone ordered drinks.

Gao Wei raised his glass to Director Chen and Zhang Jing: "Thank you all for your help. I have finally started a family and a career. Let's keep in touch in the future!"

After the five dishes, Alan and Achen went to the bathroom. Gao Wei, worried, personally escorted Alan there. Zhang Jing took the opportunity to tell Director Chen what she had heard at the wedding banquet. He was immediately shocked: "I knew that the Zuo guy was not an easy person to deal with!"

Zhang Jing said, "It's all just speculation right now, but based on my observations, it's 70% true. They've told everyone at work to cut off contact with his family and not to go there unless necessary. This is a bombshell, and it could potentially implicate too many people. Dazhuang wouldn't think too much about it!"

Director Chen pondered: "It's not easy for me to interfere in this matter, right?"

Zhang Jing said, "I can control Achen from going, but I can't do anything about Alan and the others. How can I tell Gao Wei? You have to think of a way, but don't let your son go to jail!"

Seeing people coming back one after another, Director Chen said, "Don't worry about this matter, I'll handle it."

While discussing her pregnancy experiences with Alan, Zhang Jing told her that if she was tired from work, she could skip the rest period. She said that she wasn't tired from work, and her parents also wanted her to stay home to rest and take care of the baby.

"If I stop working, can the previous minimum living allowance be restored?" Zhang Jing asked.

"That's no problem. They are all in the probation period and their salary is just temporarily suspended," Director Chen said firmly. "Even if Alan doesn't do it, there are others to take his place. This quota is used for experiments from above, and there are people tracking and observing the data for this work." After saying that, he looked at Zhang Jing meaningfully.

Zhang Jing understood the trick immediately, and only Gao Wei said, "It's not tiring, just do it first. I can help, but we can talk about it later if I really can't do it." It seems that Alan also listens to Gao Wei.

After dinner, Director Chen sent Zhang Jing and her husband home. Director Chen also told Zhang Jing, "Whenever there's good news in the stock market, don't forget Brother Chen. You haven't been active for a long time. If you make a fortune, take your brother Chen for a share! Brother is really poor!"

Zhang Jing smiled and waved: "I won't forget it, just wait!"

Not long after returning home, Zhang Zhi pulled her daughter over and said, "I'll have Grandpa pick her up tomorrow while your mother-in-law and I go to Yiwu, Huizhou to buy some fabric!" Zhang Jing was puzzled: "The child won't need many clothes, so there's no need to make such a fuss, right?"

"Why not? Let me tell you, your mother-in-law is also planning to make two cheongsams. Can you please ask your godmother if she will take the job? We'll cover the labor cost. If not, we'll find another craftsman to do it!"

Zhang Jing asked, "Are you guys still going to play bigger and bigger?"

Zhang Zhi said, "Your mother-in-law is planning to reshoot her wedding photos!"

"Is this true? Does my father-in-law agree?" Zhang Jing found herself living outside her circle. The world was changing too fast!

"You'll have to agree sooner or later. The deposit has already been paid. My mother-in-law saw Xuanxuan's cheongsam and plans to make a copy. I guess she'll make a wedding dress too. Can you please help us ask your godmother if she's willing to do the job? If not, please help us find out how much material is needed for a cheongsam!"

"Are you in such a hurry? I'll call and ask later. By the way, ordinary people don't wear many cheongsams, so one or two sets will be enough. The rest can be used by photo studios for free, so don't rush to wholesale a large number of them in Yiwu!" Zhang Jing found that she couldn't stop him, so she simply explained the pros and cons.

"I know! You're so nagging!" Zhang Zhi was impatient, and Milk Ball also cried out: "Mom, I want to go too!"
