20 years of restarting life

Chapter 4029 is not the Shan Qiang of twenty years ago.

At noon, Zhao Chang'an treated the three women to a nice Western meal, and then took them to the airport. After they entered the terminal, Zhao Chang'an did not leave. He went to the arrival gate to check the flight information. The international flight that Shan Qiang was taking would not arrive for more than an hour, so he returned to the open-air parking lot and spent the time in the car.

The decline of a person or force often corresponds to the rise of another person or force to fill the gap. Looking back at some things now, Xu Wanrong's scheming can be seen clearly. Today, she has finally achieved her goal.

However, Zhao Chang'an didn't dislike Xu Wanrong's scheming. He was a man of action, and he needed capable and energetic subordinates to realize the blueprint he had in mind.

It's perfectly normal for a capable person to have ambition. It's not that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier; it's the same principle.

Mi Xiaoyin's ambitions were even greater, especially since she had a daughter, Sui Shishi, and had been married to Sui Yong for nearly ten years. She was even more difficult to control, but Zhao Chang'an still used her when necessary.

This woman is only a dabbler in real estate, but her strengths lie in corporate management, external social interactions, and the precise control and manipulation of people's hearts.

In contrast, Niu Meng'en was quite the opposite. He was only vaguely knowledgeable in many aspects of management and social interaction, but the quality of the houses he built was definitely not a problem.

It can be said that Niu Meng'en is a kind-hearted and good-natured person, while Mi Xiaoyin is full of scheming. However, Zhao Chang'an can only appoint Niu Meng'en as a general, not as a commander.

Judging from the current situation, Xu Wanrong has done a very good job during her two years in charge of Green Garden Mountain City. This is not only due to her excellence in corporate management and external social interaction, but also because Zhao Chang'an values ​​her sense of social responsibility.

Three years ago, during Pei Pingjiang's era, Shancheng launched a swift and decisive crackdown, sweeping away all criminals and petty thieves who caused trouble for no reason. Many of them were sent to labor camps. Those with minor offenses were released after serving their sentences, and many of them were recruited into Shancheng Green Garden by Xu Wanrong.

While providing them with a formal and stable job, the company also promises, similar to the benefits that OneNano Holdings offers to its employees, that after three years of service, they can receive a low-interest loan and purchase a discounted apartment from the group. This will help these people not only have a stable job with a decent salary, but also save up to buy a new house for them to settle down.

Then they select those who genuinely reform and whose tempers are no longer so impulsive and fiery, and entrust the city's matchmaking agencies to help them find partners, get married, start families, have children, and support their parents, thus continuously reducing the relapse rate of these people.

Ma Er and Gunzi had worked on the construction site in Luyuan for a few months, but they were fired by Xu Wanrong for stealing steel bars. As a result, the tragedy of the Zhou family happened just a few months later.

In this respect, Xu Wanrong is far more noble than Shan Qiang, Mi Xiaoyin, and the like.

Of course, even without deliberately inquiring, Zhao Chang'an knew that those lackeys who fawned over Xia Wenyang and suppressed his parents, Lu Baosan, Xia Changhai, You Minghua, and others, as well as the group of street thugs who bullied him and followed Xia Wuyue and Qiao Sanqiang, would continue to suppress and scheme against him unless they wisely left Shancheng and disappeared from the sight of those with ulterior motives in Shancheng.

Zhao Chang'an would naturally not be lenient towards this. Although these people might be able to reform in the future, the evil they have done must be repaid with interest.

Seeing the clowns dressed in clown costumes with red noses selling helium balloons in the square, Zhao Chang'an realized that today was April Fool's Day.

Shan Qiang had indeed chosen an interesting day.

-

After Shan Qiang disembarked, she took her suitcase and walked towards the terminal exit with the other passengers.

Of the passengers on this flight, 80% were Chinese, and there were also 30 or 40 young women, most of whom were above average in appearance, including several beauties who could be coveted by men from both China and abroad.

After all, in this era, people who can afford to spend over ten thousand yuan to take an economy class flight to North America, thousands of miles away, are generally well-off and successful.

Even though Shan Qiang was already forty-two years old, and because of the months of abstinence from sex and the humiliation of being driven to despair in the power struggles, her fair complexion had darkened by half a shade. Her once flawless, collagen-rich skin had lost some of its plumpness and luster, and fine crow's feet had appeared at the corners of her eyes and forehead. However, with light makeup, she was still the most dazzling and beautiful among these women, easily outshining the young beauties in their twenties.

Many men glanced at her, intentionally or unintentionally. She was wearing casual trousers and a Burberry cardigan over her top, revealing a glimpse of her slender, soft waist and hip and leg lines through a white lace-trimmed shirt.

Some men even deliberately followed behind her, secretly admiring her slender figure while sniffing the fragrance of her perfume.

Just then, Shan Qiang's phone rang.

Shan Qiang had previously activated roaming service on her phone in Canada, but that number was only for temporary use. After arriving here, she decided to change her phone number.

She took out her phone and saw that it was a 10-digit number starting with 213. Shan Qiang knew that Zhao Chang'an's North American mobile phone number started with 212, so this 213 was probably the area code for Gotham City.

"Did Jiang Xian and Zhao Chang'an say it?"

Shan Qiang guessed in her heart that the only people she could connect with in North America right now were Zhao Chang'an and her daughter Shan Cai. Her daughter's phone number was roaming over, so this local number was most likely a call from Zhao Chang'an.

When leaving Zhengzhou, Shan Qiang did not tell Jiang Xian who to call or not to call, and Shan Qiang did not consider whether Jiang Xian should make the calls or not.

I was planning to contact my daughter after I got off the plane and left the airport. It would be best if my daughter lived in Toronto, even though it's in Waterloo, it's only about 110 or 120 kilometers away from the airport in Toronto.

"Hello, who is it?"

Shan Qiang asked.

"Sister Qiangwei, it's me, Zhao Chang'an. Have you gotten off the plane yet?"

Zhao Chang'an's voice was as sunny, cheerful, and enthusiastic as ever, full of infectious energy.

"Just got off the plane and need to exit the station."

"I'll be waiting for you at the exit."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Shan Qiang took a deep breath. From now on, she was no longer the president of Green Garden Group, the strong woman Shan Qiang, but a weak woman who had fallen on hard times in China and was heavily in debt.

If we could go back more than twenty years, Shan Qiang, who was only nineteen years old, was holding her one-year-old daughter in her arms. She was wearing a "Dacron" shirt made by a local tailor, which was made of cloth that Niu Meng'en and his son had managed to buy. Few women in the village could afford it. However, once she arrived in the city, she looked incredibly rustic. She was carrying the same wrinkled and peeling bag that she had taken with her when she left Yanjing a few years earlier. Niu Meng'en, like an ox, was carrying three large bags full of their family's belongings and rare mountain products. When they walked out of the familiar yet unfamiliar Yanjing Railway Station, she was a sight to behold.

A ridiculous sense of pride led Shan Qiang to choose to stay away from Zhao Chang'an back then, never forgiving him or speaking to him for the rest of her life.

However, the Shan Qiang of today is the Shan Qiang of twenty years later. At forty-two, she has become mature, calm, pragmatic, and realistic, and has also learned to bow her head and compromise.

This is the kind of strength that Shan Qiang believes is truly powerful!
