20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3725 Su Ying's Excitement

Zhao Chang'an did not agree with Su Ying's idea. This woman was too wild and extremely selfish. In the domestic environment, there was no effective means of restraining her except the law.

She met her mentor in college, and even after marriage, she continued to cheat on her husband without any scruples, guilt, or shame. Her desire to exploit her daughter far outweighed any familial affection. Moreover, Zhao Chang'an estimated that she genuinely loved and admired her mentor, much like Hai Zao's feelings for Song Siming.

Over the years, he has always complied with Bole's various requests and never said no.

However, when Bo Le was paralyzed, Su Ying, who was in Europe, sent him some artistic photos asking him to help her find a new job. After discovering that Bo Le was no longer capable of doing so, she immediately cut ties and never contacted him again.

Now her target is clearly her future son-in-law. She wants to live off her mentor for the first twenty years and then live off her future son-in-law for the rest of her life. She's quite shrewd with her little scheme.

Of course, if it were just about supporting her, Zhao Chang'an wouldn't have any objections; it wouldn't cost much. The problem is that Su Ying's Maslow's hierarchy of needs has long since moved beyond physiological, safety, social, and esteem needs; it has risen to the highest level of self-actualization, which is more troublesome.

In his career, especially in the OneNano Holdings Group, Zhao Chang'an has always tried his best to keep public and private matters separate and not confuse them.

Therefore, it's even less likely that we'd give in to Su Ying.

“Aunt Su, the company prefers candidates with in-depth professional skills, especially since the reputation of Shancheng Maojian tea is not good right now, and there are so many strong competitors inside. In fact, in the long run, the cultural tourism group is a comprehensive large group that can not only undertake scenic spots around Shancheng, but also scenic spots outside the province and even abroad. The tea industry, on the other hand, has great limitations. It can only work on the Shancheng Maojian brand. The upper limit of the two is simply incomparable.”

Zhao Chang'an's words were not entirely true. Although the Shancheng Maojian brand has a peak in production and sales, the tea industry does not. For example, it can make tea beverages, tea toothpaste, tea oil, and many other tea products.

However, there's no need to tell Su Ying all this.

Upon hearing Zhao Chang'an's refusal, Su Ying's eyes showed disappointment, and she prepared to leave somewhat listlessly.

In her view, she certainly believes that cultural tourism projects have more room for development than regional tea industries, but she still prefers to be a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big pond. Besides, the tea industry is actually easier to do and more likely to produce results than cultural tourism.

She is already 42 years old this year. As a woman, the best years of her life have passed. No matter how much she takes care of herself, she has less than ten years left at most.

She dresses up carefully now and looks like a sophisticated urban woman in her early twenties, but she knows that her physical abilities are declining rapidly. In seven or eight years, her delicate skin and full figure will inevitably sag and droop.

She didn't want to be used as a tool by others during this final, fleeting period of her life; instead, she wanted to truly create her own achievements and career.

Moreover, Wang Deyuan is now deeply trusted by Zhao Chang'an, and his abilities are beyond question. This means that if Su Ying stays in the cultural tourism group, she will always be suppressed by Wang Deyuan and will have no chance to stand out.

Even if the cultural tourism group can stabilize the tea industry after a few years, what meaning will it have for a fifty-year-old woman?
Seeing Su Ying preparing to stand up and leave, Zhao Chang'an still didn't want her to harbor too much prejudice against him, so he said to Su Ying, "Auntie, actually, a woman's beauty is about delicate, fair, and smooth skin, a full bust and hips, and still-black and shiny hair. It's not necessarily related to youth." "What do you mean?"

Su Ying was a little surprised and thought Zhao Chang'an's words were simply a joke. There was no way to compare a woman in her twenties with a woman in her forties.

Suddenly she thought of Shan Qiang. Four years ago, Shan Qiang had conducted an exclusive interview with their School of Literature. Su Ying, as the vice dean and a woman, accepted that interview.

In terms of age, Shan Qiang is a year younger than Su Ying. As for temperament and appearance, Su Ying herself admits that she is not as good as this famous beauty in Zhengzhou. However, when the two of them sit face to face very close, Su Ying is confident that although she is not as pretty as Shan Qiang, she is a year older than Shan Qiang and looks younger than Shan Qiang.

However, four years have passed in the blink of an eye. This time, after her brother-in-law denounced Mai Guixue and Lang Ruping, Shan Qiang made a special trip to Shancheng and went to the headquarters of the Cultural Tourism Group. She also agreed to the proposal of Wang Deyuan and Liu Mingxiong to appoint herself as the deputy general manager of the Cultural Tourism Group, her husband as the deputy director of Taohuahu Scenic Area, and Lin Yixia as the director of Taohuahu Scenic Area.

Su Ying was shocked and jealous at the time. Four years later, Shan Qiang, who looked a little older than herself four years ago, now had a face full of collagen. Even if you looked at her very closely, you could not see any obvious crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and forehead.

If I didn't know her age, I would have thought she was a young woman under thirty.

Although Su Ying could see the fatigue in her expression, and the several boils on her fair and smooth face, which was as white as an egg, the fact that a woman of her age could have boils on her face was proof of her youthful and active skin, which only made Su Ying envious.

When Shan Qiang chatted with Su Ying privately to catch up, Su Ying kept praising Shan Qiang's youth and beauty, asking her what cosmetics or beauty injections she used, and what beauty supplements she took.

Although Shan Qiang is wealthy, Su Ying also has over ten million yuan in her hands. She's willing to take out hundreds of thousands or even a million or two, as long as it's effective.

Compared to money, the aging of her appearance terrifies her more.

Moreover, once Cretaceous goes public, she will wait for the opportunity to cash out the shares held by her daughter, which will bring in at least tens of millions of yuan.

However, Shan Qiang, who had been smiling, suddenly stopped smiling, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, she forced a smile and said, "I don't use any special cosmetics or anything. I just make sure to get enough sleep. I have to be in bed before 10 p.m. every night and drink a glass of red wine before bed. When I was working at the TV station, I often worked overtime day and night. I haven't done that in recent years, so my complexion has naturally improved." Su Ying didn't believe a word Shan Qiang said. As for getting enough sleep, she had been doing that for years, let alone drinking red wine. She also regularly supplemented her diet with snow frog, bird's nest, and papaya.

In reality, Su Ying looks much younger than most women her age, but the saying "comparison is the thief of joy" applies. When compared to Shan Qiang, her confidence crumbled instantly.

Now that Zhao Chang'an has suddenly brought this up, and considering his close relationship with Shan Qiang over the past few years, as well as the rumor that Wen Ye and Zhao Chang'an are both masters of traditional Chinese medicine, could he possibly have some beauty-enhancing secrets?
At this point, Su Ying was as stubborn as a dog; even if Zhao Chang'an didn't explain things clearly, she wouldn't leave, let alone if she wanted to.

Looking at Zhao Chang'an with burning eyes, he said, "Chang'an, do you have any ideas?"
