Transmigrated as a vicious stepmother, I raised a child who became a heartthrob.

This family is really unlucky. It's like they can't understand human speech. They already agreed during their last meeting that they would only support each other in our old age and wouldn't get involved in anything else.

They made such a mess of things; I wonder what their purpose was in calling her back.

Jiang Zhuhua neither cared nor wanted to get involved. The world is so big; wouldn't it be better if everyone were safe and well?

But the other party seemed not to understand, and everyone called her in different ways.

“I’m telling you there’s a limit to how much you can make a scene. It’s normal for girls to be jealous, but Mom has already given you a way out, why won’t you take it?”

This is someone who speaks with a sharp tongue and a cutting tongue. Their words are truly awful.

"Give me a way out, and I'll take it? If I carry you to the top floor, will you jump off?"

Jiang Zhuhua's motto is: whoever speaks harshly to me, I will definitely respond with harshness in return.

In return, she said something equally unpleasant. However, he wouldn't give her a chance to reply; after saying that, he hung up the phone immediately.

"Jiang Zhuhua, come back for the New Year. I have something to tell you at home."

It was just that older brother who spoke with a commanding tone, playing the role of a cold-faced CEO.

Like the kind of person who uses sophisticated terms like "family".

"Who died? Why the rush? Do I have to go back for a funeral during the Lunar New Year?"

Jiang Zhuhua looked at the reports on the table with annoyance, his tone equally unpleasant.

"How dare you talk like that? Can't you just wish your family well? We called you home for the New Year."

Even through the phone, I could hear the person on the other end click their tongue, their tone carrying the authoritative air of an elder.

"Because you don't want anything good for me. Have you already figured out how to sell me this time?"

Jiang Zhuhua scoffed; she was very vengeful. She'd only recently divorced, and this family was already trying to find her a new husband.

They wouldn't come to the temple without a reason, and this family is definitely not one to get up early without a profit.

"Or are you calling me home to water the money tree?"

Jiang Zhuhua scoffed. Their previous business battle had turned into such an ugly mess online; it was a wonder he could tolerate it and still call her.

"I didn't intend to sell you. Besides, we're family after all. Won't you come back to visit during the New Year?"

Jiang Chongwen sat at his desk, not looking at the reports in front of him, but just casually playing with a lighter.

Try to soften your tone.

"There's nothing to talk about with you guys."

After saying that, Jiang Zhuhua thought for a moment and added a warning.

"If you push me too far, it'll be a fight to the death."

This family gave off a really bad vibe, and Jiang Zhuhua didn't want to talk to them anymore, so he hung up the phone again.

"Secretary Wang, please keep an eye on my phone. Hang up on those weirdos who call me and block their numbers."

Being repeatedly interrupted while working is incredibly frustrating. Jiang Zhuhua simply tossed his phone to his secretary; after all, there wasn't anything particularly important on it.

"it is good."

With two more people helping him this year, Wang Xianghai's workload has been much lighter, unlike in previous years when he was always scrambling around.

But after thinking it over again before leaving, Wang Xianghai turned back.

"Boss, I heard that the Jiang family is having some financial problems lately and is looking to arrange a marriage."

Wang Xianghai didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was conveyed.

"understood."

Jiang Zhuhua understood what he meant.

Choose one of the two daughters to marry, or perhaps you're after Jiang Zhuhua's money. Of course, if you're feeling greedy, you could marry Jiang Zhuhua off and then take back all the assets under her name under various pretexts.

They said they'd help keep it safe or use it as part of her dowry.

Jiang Zhuhua didn't care about any of that, because he had no intention of meeting the other party at all.

As the year drew nearer, a shareholders' meeting was held at the end of the year, and Jiang Zhuhua was the largest shareholder.

The overall data for the year showed an upward trend, albeit not a significant one. The shareholders' meeting, unlike what's depicted in novels, didn't present any of the usual problems.

As long as the leader can guide everyone to grow the company bigger and stronger, and ensure that everyone gets paid, things will be easier to discuss.

"Assistant Wang, you've worked hard this year."

After finishing all the business, the New Year is just a few days away. However, due to the special nature of the company, we can't have a collective holiday.

Jiang Zhuhua patted Wang Xianghai on the shoulder and told him to give his assistant a few days off.

"Go back and get some rest."

She has her own family, yet she's always following her around. Jiang Zhuhua naturally wouldn't treat her unfairly.

"We get busier during the Chinese New Year period, as the number of people using their phones increases significantly, and so do our live streamers..."

Wang Xianghai frowned, his first thought being of all the messy things happening at the company.

"It's okay, don't worry about it."

Jiang Zhuhua simply shook her head. She had recently learned that Li Jiao and Shen Lin had begun contacting each other.

Therefore, it's only a matter of time before we take action against the Pei family.

Li Jiao clearly harbored deep hatred for the Pei family, even displaying a willingness to go to any lengths to break the camel's back.

"Boss, should we change careers?"

After checking that no one was around, Wang Xianghai led the person into a relatively secluded corner and whispered something to them.

"Okay. We can deal with these things after the New Year. Will you come with me then? You'll still get paid."

Wang Xianghai is trustworthy and capable. Jiang Zhuhua is genuinely reluctant to lose this talented individual.

"Okay. Don't tell anyone else about this yet. Some shareholders have started buying shares recently."

The entertainment company was gaining momentum, but Wang Xianghai didn't ask why he was leaving the market. Instead, he went to work in another industry where the market was already saturated.

There are things that we both know, but we just don't want to say them out loud.

Wang Xianghai has left, but his two secretaries are still working overtime. Their holidays are scheduled for after the Spring Festival.

The company is still able to operate as usual.

"Jiangning, what else do you want to do? Go buy some Spring Festival couplets for the company. Don't worry, you can come back tomorrow."

Jiang Zhuhua couldn't possibly stay at the company for the New Year; he even hinted at it before leaving. After all, ostensibly, he wanted to tell everyone that someone was leading the way in working overtime, and that those above weren't resting either, but in reality...

"Buying Spring Festival couplets won't take a day..."

Jiang Ning didn't understand what it meant, but subconsciously blurted out those words.

"Boss, we will definitely select carefully."

He Wei quickly covered her mouth, a smile on his face.

"What do you mean? What kind of riddle are you playing now?"

Jiang Ning had already accepted that her emotional intelligence seemed a bit low. So she simply asked the person next to her.

"The boss means that we can use buying Spring Festival couplets as an excuse to go back and rest. It's a paid leave."

He Wei spoke softly, but his eyes couldn't hide his excitement. Although the company paid well, the overtime work had driven him almost crazy lately.

"Ah? Ah!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's previously gloomy eyes instantly lit up. He grabbed his bag and left without any hesitation.

"Hurry up, let's go buy Spring Festival couplets!"
