The vicious female supporting role changes careers and becomes a top wealthy mama's girl

To support her daughter, Song Li sacrificed far more than that. In the original text, even when the Song Group was experiencing financial difficulties, Song Li still met Su Jinli's various financial needs and never told her daughter any bad news.

"How was it? Did you like it, Lili?"

Su Zhan's question pulled Su Jinli back to reality from her memories.

“I think the lyrics of this song are more moving than the melody,” she said.

“A mother’s love is the greatest; how could it not move you?” Su Zhan turned the music down a bit, wanting to take advantage of his daughter’s good mood and maturity to talk about serious matters.

“Lili, your mother works very hard managing a large group all by herself. I’m not cut out for business, so I can’t help her much.”

Hearing her father say this, Su Jinli realized the deeper meaning behind his words.

Su Zhan told his daughter, "Your grandfather passed away early, leaving behind such a huge business system. He had hoped that your three uncles would be successful, but who knew that they were spoiled by your parents and sister and turned into playboys who only knew how to enjoy life. The eldest, second, and third brothers took turns managing the company for a period of time, and as a result, the company's profits shrank by 60% in just three years."

"Your mother couldn't bear to see the business your father had built with his own hands vanish into thin air, so she had to step in herself. The hardships a woman faces fighting in a business battlefield dominated by men are unimaginable to those who haven't experienced it."

Su Jinli sat next to her father, listening quietly without interrupting.

"After she took over the company for a while, the situation finally improved. Then it was time to arrange marriages for her three younger brothers. She worried about it for a long time and tried to find suitable daughters for them. But in the end, none of the three of them listened and refused to get married."

"Your uncle is the most infuriating. On the day of the engagement banquet, he stood everyone up. Your mother had to humbly apologize to the other party and give the bride's family a lot of financial benefits before the matter was settled."

Hearing this, Su Jinli's heart clenched violently. Her mother had endured so much suffering in times and places she couldn't see, things that she, as an ignorant daughter, had never imagined.

She only saw her mother's strong, successful, resilient, and decisive side; her mother only showed her this aspect of her life.

A mother won't let her children see the darker side of her life; this is an instinctive way of protecting the next generation.

Su Zhan: "An elder sister is like a mother. Your maternal grandparents are gone, so your mother is like a mother to all three of them. That's how it is for people of our generation. So, compared to your mother's hardships and difficulties, it's really nothing for me to give up my singing career. She's already exhausted from running the company, and I have to support the family."

Su Jinli felt a profound sense of shock and enlightenment, but her expression remained largely unchanged, as she did not want to affect her father's emotions.

Finally, Su Zhan turned the topic to business, "Lili, your mother and I have chosen Li Yanchen. We think he is a reliable person who can help you manage company affairs in the future."

Su Jinli looked at the television screen opposite her; it was playing Beyond's "Cold Rain Night."

She said, "Li Yanchen is indeed doing very well now, but the only constant in this world is that everything is constantly changing. Ten, twenty, or thirty years from now, it's impossible to say what kind of person Li Yanchen will be, who he will love, or who he will be with."

Su Zhan couldn't refute his daughter's words at all.

"The Song Group still depends on Song Zichen and me. Only our own people are truly reliable." Su Jinli said to Su Zhan, "Dad, don't worry, Chenchen and I will work hard."

"Really, Lili? You're willing to get involved in company matters?" Su Zhan's eyes shone with immense relief as he patted his daughter's head. "You're willing to help your mother manage the company?"

"I am willing."

Su Jinli didn't say "I do" to her husband at their romantic wedding; instead, she gave it to her parents.

"A person's life should not be defined. There is no right or wrong answer to whether someone is married or single. Dad, I want to let nature take its course."

"Dad respects your choice!" Su Zhan nodded seriously. "Just follow your heart and be happy."

Su Jinli kept her word and went to Li Yanchen's room that very night to take several books on economics and management to read.

The next day she went to the Song Group and began to learn some business from her mother.

Two days later, news of the chairman of Lantian Group being arrested for serious violations of the law became a trending topic.

Previously, the Blue Sky Group had received strong support from church foundations in the United States. However, after Li Yanchen's trip to the United States, the foundations that had been supporting the Blue Sky Group withdrew, and the Blue Sky Group was completely finished.

As the world's richest man and possessing cutting-edge bacteriological and medical research achievements, Li Yanchen holds a pivotal international position.

Back at Song Manor, Li Yanchen immediately wanted to see Su Jinli to share his joy, but the butler said that Miss Lili was not there and had gone to the company.

Li Yanchen arrived at the Song Group headquarters again and went straight to the chairman's office.

The secretary opened the door for him, and Li Yanchen walked in excitedly. As soon as he arrived at the company, someone told him that Miss Lili had been coming every day recently, seemingly learning management from the chairman.

Li Yanchen was genuinely happy for Su Jinli.

At first glance, I didn't see anyone. The office was huge, and there was no one at the desk at the far end. I thought Su Jinli had gone to the restroom, but then I heard a sound coming from the sofa in front of me.

It's snoring.

Su Jinli, dressed in a sophisticated professional suit, her hair loose, was fast asleep on the sofa, a book covering her face. The book was titled "A Study of Financial Scholarship."

Li Yanchen stood by the sofa, one hand on his hip, and sighed, "I thought you were really going to work hard."

He bent down and removed the book from her face. Her breathing became much easier. She swallowed and turned over to continue sleeping.

After a long and tiring journey, Li Yanchen was also exhausted. Coupled with severe jet lag, he took off his coat, lay down on the sofa opposite him, and quickly fell asleep.

When Song Li returned to her office after the meeting, she saw her daughter and future son-in-law sleeping and smiled with delight.

Li Yanchen slept straight through until dark, not knowing what time it was. The huge office was pitch black, with only the light from the floor-to-ceiling windows shining in.

Looking again, he saw a disheveled woman sitting next to him, which made his hair stand on end. He thought he was having a nightmare.

"you're awake?"

It was Su Jinli's voice.

Li Yanchen's body went limp, and he sighed, "Why didn't you turn on the light?"

“My mom won’t let me turn on the light, afraid it will disturb your sleep, so I can’t even read a book.”

Li Yanchen sat up and rubbed his face with his hands. "What time is it?"

"It's past eight o'clock in the evening."

In the darkness, Su Jinli stretched out a hand to the man, saying, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you and rid the people of this scourge."

It took Li Yanchen a few seconds to understand what Su Jinli meant. "I've been busy abroad for several days, and this is all I get?"

In the darkness, Su Jinli suddenly kissed him.
