20 years of restarting life

Chapter 4031 The Tide
Zhao Chang'an drove Shan Qiang back to Waterloo City. When they arrived at the entrance of Maple Leaf High School, night had already fallen, and Shan Cai was waiting at the school gate.

The car pulled over to the side of the road, and Zhao Chang'an said to Shan Cai, "Get in the car, I'll take you and Sister Qiangwei to eat Arctic Circle seafood, sweet shrimp and salmon."

"Tonight won't do. I have to stay here and keep an eye on things. Today, because of the dorm assignments, there's still one dorm room with two people sleeping together. It's been a complete mess. Everyone's offering to pay double the room rate to stay alone, but they've already taken all the rooms. Where will the second batch of students stay this summer? There's also a couple who're dating, and they're even more outrageous. They're not even adults yet, but they want to live together! I'm so angry I could vomit blood! And the food! They want Western food when they want Chinese food, and when they want Western food, they can go to the school cafeteria and order it themselves, but then they complain that it's too bad. They're all so sensitive, fragile, arrogant, and have such strong egos that they're unreasonable, yet they're also as stupid and ignorant as a fighting rooster. They really think they're aristocrats, but they have absolutely no aristocratic manners."

Clearly, even the 22-year-old Shan Cai was getting a little impatient with these brats. She said irritably, "Zhang Xiaowei is jumping around over there too, saying that if things continue like this, then don't send the second batch over."

"If you want to do business in sending minors abroad for education, you have to be prepared for this beforehand. Your problem before was that you accepted all kinds of things as long as the parents paid, and now you're in a bit of a predicament."

Zhao Chang'an smiled and said to Shan Cai, "Let's put them under military-style management. Those who can't stand it should hurry back to China. Otherwise, if a bunch of street thugs hang out together for three years and all of them get pregnant, that will really be a problem! They're not university students studying abroad; the situation is different for adults and minors."

Zhao Chang'an's words made Shan Cai's pretty face turn a little pale. She had never thought about this issue before, but it wasn't until today, when the two of them were going to live together, that she and Zhang Xiaowei vaguely felt that things seemed a little bad.

If a woman were to have such a large pregnancy, would the woman's parents in China let it go? Wouldn't that ruin the reputation of Xizi Education?

"Can they handle militarized management?"

Shan Cai was a little skeptical: "These pampered kids."

"It's true that they're a bunch of idiots, but their parents are all smart people. Even if you beat these idiots up every few days, as long as they can change their ways and you don't kill or maim them or cause them psychological problems, their parents will only be grateful to the school. That's why many wealthy parents send their children to join the army—they hope that the army can straighten these crooked trees."

Seeing that Shan Cai was angry, Zhao Chang'an took a mint-flavored lollipop from the car's storage box and gave it to her, and then handed one to Shan Qiang.

Although Shan Qiang had applied powder to her face, some boils were still not completely covered. It was a good thing that a pretty 42-year-old woman could still have boils on her face, which symbolized vigorous secretion. It meant that overall, her menstrual flow was still regular, plentiful, and odorless. She said that her menstrual flow had been a bit irregular these past few months, and that she just needed to be properly regulated and treated.

The moment Shan Qiang stepped down as president of Green Garden, she went straight to Canada without a moment's delay, and the meaning behind this was quite clear.

"Furthermore, you can talk to them more about the responsibility of every citizen for the rise and fall of the nation, the importance of self-improvement, and the need to recite the 'Ode to Young China,' emphasizing the importance of striving for the rise of China. You can also learn from Todd Striesser's novel 'The Wave.' These fifteen- or sixteen-year-olds are very interested in groups and clubs. As long as you design a good framework and implement it firmly and methodically, it won't be difficult to correct the course of these teenagers whose minds are not yet fully mature."

Zhao Chang'an's words made Shan Cai thoughtful. However, even if this matter were to be done, it wouldn't be something that could be done in a day or two. It would require discussing it with Zhang Xiaowei and Tao Jiao, as well as communicating with the parents of these international students and including it in the supplementary terms. It would also be best to collect a portion of the cost for the military-style management.

"Mom, why didn't you call me before you came?"

Dan Cai put the matter aside for the time being and looked at her mother, who was sitting in the passenger seat and ignoring her, and asked.

"Zhao Chang'an told you in advance, but you didn't pick me up or even call to check if I was safe. Now that I'm here, you haven't even had time to have a meal with me. I really don't know what you're complaining about?"

Looking at her daughter, Shan Qiang felt annoyed and had the urge to twist her ear hard, so she spoke without any politeness.

In Shan Qiang's view, the reason she was in such a sorry state this time was not her fault, nor was it due to Mu Yongjin and his group's recklessness or incompetence. To put it bluntly, the essence was that their group had lost a strong enough backer and had been tricked and surrounded by a conspiracies between Yi Nanmi, Zhongcheng, Zhengzhou City Commercial Bank, Zhongyuan Lianchi, Xu Wanrong, and a large group of people who were eyeing Yu Yuanxi's group.

The current stock price of Green Garden looks alarming, but in reality, Green Garden's operations have always been very good, and its return on investment is also quite good. After Chang'an Real Estate acquired its subsidiaries, the funds in Green Garden's capital pool will exceed 11 billion yuan.

One nanometer naturally belongs to Zhao Chang'an, and Tang Shuang behind Zhao Chang'an, the Fan family behind Wen Ye, Zou Xiaojun who has been getting close to Zhao Chang'an recently, Ke Yaqing, and all those surrounding the entire one nanometer system will directly or indirectly benefit.

Jin Feiyue from Zhongyuan Lianchi, the Qi family behind Xu Wanrong, Shao Shousi, Li Mingjing's father-in-law, more than a dozen shareholders in Zhongcheng Fund, provincial and municipal state-owned assets from the bank, and more than a dozen shareholders of various sizes.

Zhao Chang'an and his group are deliberately suppressing Green Garden's stock price because they are afraid that if the stock price rises, there will be lawsuits against them. Once the lawsuits are settled, Green Garden's stock price will surge, and various forces will be able to share the profits.

And then there are Yu Yuanxi and his five associates. Their combined businesses are worth one or two hundred million yuan, and they run a market monopoly, making money effortlessly. Countless people are envious of them. Now, this huge business, which generates at least ten million yuan in net profit every year, has created a vacuum in ownership.

The reason for all this is that her daughter, unaware of the gravity of the situation, was tricked by Zhao Chang'an and willingly went to his bed.

Zhao Chang'an only dared to be so ruthless towards himself and Mu Yongjin because he was certain that his daughter would not fall in love with Xiao Zijie.

Otherwise, with Xiao Xuecheng and OneNan's large-scale investment and long-term planning in the Central Province, even though Green Garden is also a large real estate company, its layout in the Central Province is obviously insignificant compared to OneNan's.

This is why Shan Qiang, consumed by anger and jealousy at the end of last year, chose to fight a desperate battle and force Zhao Chang'an to compromise.

Initially, Shan Qiang and Zhao Chang'an successfully drove Xing Dali out. When Shan Qiang became the president of Luyuan Group, she did have the idea of ​​keeping the benefits within the family and bringing Zhao Chang'an and her daughter together.

However, this young lady was so good at hiding her true feelings that even Shan Qiang herself thought her daughter didn't like Zhao Chang'an.

Although Zhao Chang'an is indeed very outstanding, Shan Qiang can understand why her daughter doesn't like him.

It's true that Zhao Chang'an is handsome, but between a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a beautiful woman obviously has more of an advantage.

Zhao Chang'an is talented, achieving the top score in the science section of the college entrance examination. However, his daughter also achieved the top score in the science section of the college entrance examination. Obviously, the prestige of a girl achieving the top score in the science section of the college entrance examination is much greater than that of a boy.

Through personal hard work, Zhao Chang'an quickly accumulated wealth and became rich.

But he himself was also wealthy and powerful.

Zhao Chang'an's parents were both low-level managers in two small companies on the verge of bankruptcy in a remote town, but his own family, Shan, was a true wealthy family.
