Then, she walked towards Mrs. Wang’s house on the top floor, intending to bid farewell to the past once and for all and attend the last gathering of the wives’ circle.
When she entered Mrs. Wang's house, the afternoon tea activity of the wives' circle had already begun.
Looking at Gu Jia with a cold face, Mrs. Zhou said sarcastically: "It seems that no one invited you today, why are you here?"
"Mrs. Zhou, please talk nicely!"
Mrs. Wang did not wait for Gu Jia to refute Mrs. Zhou, and hurriedly advised: "Gu Jia, I heard that you have survived the crisis. There is no need to embarrass yourself for that little money!"
Glancing at the ladies in the circle, Gu Jia smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I just came back from the tea factory and brought a few cans of new tea for everyone to try. By the way, I've got the tea factory business!"
Seeing Gu Jia take out a few cans of beautifully packaged tea from her backpack and put them on the table, Mrs. Zhou sneered and mocked:
"Gu Jia, congratulations! You've found a big business! Your husband even divorced you for this tea factory. Do a good job in this business. Otherwise, you'll end up losing both the wife and the army!"
“It’s not a big deal, we just bought a few hundred acres of land, contracted a few more mountains of tea, and added a few production lines.
You don’t have to worry about sales. This morning, I signed a purchasing contract with several large group companies in Shanghai. I can make hundreds of millions a year, which is enough to support my family.”
As she spoke, she pushed the tea leaves in front of Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Li and others, and continued with a smile:
"In my spare time, I learned the whole process of tea picking, water screening, rolling, drying, depilation, pressing, and finally forming a can of finished tea leaves in the tea factory.
Even though this tiny piece of tea is insignificant, it has gone through a lot of trials and tribulations, let alone a person? If one takes a wrong step, then it is nothing! "
Hearing what the Gu family said, Mrs. Wang on the side couldn't help but cough twice, and muttered with a smile: "It's different if you have culture!"
"Humph!" Looking at Mrs. Wang who was gloating over the misfortune, Mrs. Zhou stood up and slammed the table and said:
"Gu Jia, who do you think you are? To tell you the truth, not just anyone can enter our circle. We have already cleaned up the door!"
Seeing Mrs. Zhou talking like this, Mrs. Yu on the side couldn't help but remind her: "Oh, Mrs. Zhou, don't say such harsh words. You can't represent everyone."
The reason why she said this was because she understood that the fact that their family's business was previously done by Gu Jia's fireworks company was not her credit, but because there were powerful people behind Gu Jia helping her, and she didn't want to offend anyone.
Gu Jia ignored them and walked directly to Mrs. Li, the instigator, and said with a smile:
"Thank you, Mrs. Li, for taking the trouble to dig such a big hole for someone as insignificant as me.
But I am willing to pay for my mistakes. After all, every step you take has a price. But thanks to your plan, I have been reborn.
And I feel sorry for all of you, because you all have to live under your husband's surname, live within your husband's value radius, try to gain a sense of superiority, and get together to show off and compare.
Although everyone relies on their own backers, I have my own name, but you can only be called Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhou. The more glamorous you are, the more pathetic you are. "
After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door. When he reached the door, he thought of something and turned back to look at Mrs. Wang.
"By the way, my new company is located in Shanghai. Mrs. Wang, you are welcome to visit us when you have time. Bye!"

Chapter 779 Who Sees the Clearest
Two or three days passed quickly. Today the night in Shanghai is particularly beautiful. The moonlight and the twinkling lights of the tall buildings complement each other, just like stars falling on the earth.
Walking along the Bund, the sounds of traffic and the sparkling waves on the river together form a beautiful picture.
On the second-floor terrace of Grand Hyatt Residence, Gu Jia, Zhong Xiaoqin, and Wang Manni, who had just returned from a business trip, the three women sat around a dining table and ate hot pot while looking at the river view in the distance.
The nanny at home was in charge of serving the dishes. While eating beef, Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Wang Manni and asked in confusion: "Manni, tell me quickly, what did you gain from going out this time?"
Hearing this, Wang Manni raised the beer can and sighed, "This time out, it really overturned all my previous ideas. Really, Xiaoqin, I feel that my previous self was ridiculous."
"Why do you say that?" Zhong Xiaoqin took a sip of beer and looked at her with some confusion.
"I want to resign or apply for suspension, and then find a school to enrich myself."
Wang Manni smiled and expressed her thoughts, then continued as if lost in memory:
"As you all know, I come from an ordinary family. I started working right after I graduated from college and have been working hard in Shanghai for eight years.
From the most ordinary salesperson to senior salesperson, and then to sales supervisor, for me before, being a small store manager was just a dream.
Later, I met Han Tao. Many people thought that I was just after money, but that’s not entirely true. You all know why I was with him. I was more moved by his tenderness and respect.
Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that he spends millions at a time. I admit that I was once brainwashed by material desires and wanted to live that kind of "upper class" life.
But now I have realized that I don't want to be an accessory or a vase. I want to be a helping hand, even if it is a very small one.
Gu Jia is my role model now, and she has to take care of so many things to build such a big company. We three can’t all rely on her to support it alone, because that would be too tiring for Gu Jia.”
"Manny, I'm not as good as you say. In fact, I'm still groping forward.
If you and Xiaoqin are willing, please come and help me. I feel that I am overwhelmed. Can we make progress together?"
Gu Jia patted Wang Manni's hand, knowing that her best friend was very ambitious. She had lived a pseudo-refined life in Shanghai before. Even though she struggled to make ends meet every month, she still enjoyed this kind of life.
And she has lost herself a little. In fact, she has great potential. If she breaks out of her existing circle, she still has many possibilities. At the very least, she can become a good helper.
Especially now, she has changed her previous ideas and is determined to make a breakthrough with all her might, thus breaking free from the shackles of material desires.
Without waiting for Wang Manni's response, Zhong Xiaoqin hurriedly shook her head and said, "Gu Gu, I think it's enough to have you and Manni, so I won't go!"
"Why, Xiaoqin, wouldn't it be good for the three of us to be together? I think it's very suitable for you to be in charge of logistics, I will be in charge of marketing, and Gu Jia will be in charge of the command."
Wang Manni looked at Zhong Xiaoqin and said, in fact, in addition to this business trip, the director's words made her realize that Gu Jia's establishment of a new company also deeply stimulated her.
So she decided to give up her current job. She had been working in sales for 8 years but had not been able to make a comeback.
Or was she the manager because of Han Tao? That meant she was a failure, so why should she continue on this path?
Besides, she longed to see the bigger world and broaden her horizons, just as Director Lin said:
"It is better to give up wisely than to persist blindly. Be brave enough to change your environment and experience the ups and downs. If you can sober up, it doesn't matter if you catch a cold."
“Manny, I am different from you and Gu Gu, and my personality is not suitable for starting a business.
And I think the three of us can’t just focus on work, we still have to take care of our family and life.”
At this point, looking at Gu Jia who also had a puzzled look on her face, Zhong Xiaoqin continued with a smile: "What's so hard to understand about this? I have never had any lofty ideals or ambitions.
So I think it’s pretty good now. The work at the company is very leisurely and I can have more time to do other things.
For example, I can write novels, or when you are all busy, I will take care of the house and the children.
Although Ziyan is alone now, we will definitely have a baby in the future, right? Then someone will have to focus on the family.
We can’t be busy with work every time Han Tao comes home, because then he won’t feel at home and will be even less willing to come back!”
Hearing her words, Gu Jia and Wang Manni looked at each other. After a long time, Wang Manni was the first to sigh: "Xiaoqin, I think what you said does make sense!"
Although Zhong Xiaoqin's ideas are simple and innocent, there is one problem that she cannot get over: Han Tao is definitely surrounded by career-oriented women.
Of course, they can't all be too ambitious and just do their own things, so they need to divide the work well. They did overlook this point before.
Gu Jia also nodded, "My dear, our Xiaoqin is the one with the most ideas.
How can the three of us all focus on our careers? Family is the foundation for the three of us to tie down that playboy."
"That's right, we can't lose the base. Gu Jia, Xiao Qin, you said he will be back soon, should we fight for some benefits?"
Hearing her say this, Gu Jia was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "What do you mean...?"
"That's what I meant!"
"Gu Gu, what are you talking about with Manni? We are not his employees, so what benefits are we fighting for?"
Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Wang Manni and Gu Jia with some confusion and couldn't help asking.
Wang Manni looked at Zhong Xiaoqin helplessly, and Gu Jia hurriedly said with a smile:
"Manny's idea is that today the three of us should use some tricks to make him promise to come back a few times a month and stay for a certain length of time each time!"
"What a mess!" Hearing Gu Jia say this, Zhong Xiaoqin blushed a little embarrassedly, and then changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, Gu Gu, how are things at the company going? I see you've been very busy these past few days."
"Company registration and office space have been resolved, and now the only problem left is personnel.
Because I had no previous foundation, the gap is too big, so I plan to take someone to the job market tomorrow."
"Gu Gu, it's too tiring for you to build a company from scratch by yourself. Even if Manny is involved, it will only be a drop in the bucket. I think you should let Han Tao help you!"
"Well, I've told him about it, but I don't want him to assign someone to me directly, other than the legal department. That would be meaningless..."
The three women ate and chatted at the same time. Although they couldn't all focus on their work, they all knew that this company was the economic lifeline of the future.
Even if they don't care about material things and money, they still have to consider their future children, so they still have to fight for what they should fight for.
However, the prerequisite for striving for it is to have the ability to defend it, otherwise it will only be a castle in the air and a wedding dress for others.
...............
Chapter 780 Three women and one drama
The next day, in the master bedroom on the 20th floor of Grand Hyatt Mansion, an alarm rang, and Han Tao woke up from his deep sleep and opened his eyes.
At this time, on the big bed, Gu Jia was lying on his left side, Zhong Xiaoqin was resting her head on his right arm, and Wang Manni was next to Zhong Xiaoqin. The three women had rosy complexions and happy and sweet smiles on their faces.
Slowly pulling out his numb arm, Han Tao stood up and looked at the three sisters lying in a row. Seeing their eyelashes fluttering slightly and their eyeballs moving under their eyelids, he knew that they were awake and were just pretending to sleep.
Han Tao did not point it out, but simply lifted the white velvet quilt, stood up and dressed, while admiring the perfect seamless scenery.
Seeing that Gu Jia, Wang Manni, and Zhong Xiaoqin were still blushing and closing their eyes pretending to sleep, Han Tao smiled wickedly, walked back to the bed, leaned over the three delicate bodies, and whispered in their ears:
"Three lazy little cats, if you don't get up, I won't go running, but do morning exercises in bed instead!"
Hearing Han Tao's voice, Zhong Xiaoqin, who was the most shameless, pretended to have just woken up, slightly opened her eyes, blushed, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Hmm~ah..., what time is it?"
Gu Jia also looked sleepy, and said like a good wife and mother: "Han Tao, please move aside. I'll get up and prepare breakfast for you, okay?"
"No, I want to do morning exercises first, and then think about breakfast!" Han Tao looked at her and Zhong Xiaoqin with a wicked smile.
"do not want!"
Before Gu Jia could say anything, Zhong Xiaoqin sat up and stepped back, exclaiming:
"Gu Gu, help me! Manny, please wake up! Han Tao is trying to do something bad again!"
"How have I done anything bad? How dare you make a false accusation against someone? I will punish you!"
Without waiting for others to respond, Han Tao kissed Zhong Xiaoqin's red lips. His hands were not idle either, taking care of Wang Manni who was pretending to sleep and Gu Jia who was going to make breakfast.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and Han Tao got up, holding his slightly sore waist. Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin were sweating profusely, their hair was slightly messy, and their temples were wet by the thin man.
Gu Jia's eyes were also full of water, and she looked at Han Tao with a spring-like look, and said with a slightly panting voice:
"Han Tao, from now on you come over once a month and stay with us for three days each time, okay?"
"Okay, unless there are special circumstances, I will come back to be with you for three days to a week every month."
As he spoke, Han Tao leaned over to caress and comfort the slightly tired Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni, and then kissed Gu Jia on the forehead and said with a smile:
"Get up quickly. I've asked someone to find a few people for you. They'll accompany you to the company later."
"Let's talk about work later. Let's settle this matter first and don't regret it!" Wang Manni couldn't help but rushed to get the matter done.
After looking at Han Tao, Zhong Xiaoqin also said in a tender voice: "Yes, don't regret it. Liars are dogs."
With a smile on his face, Han Tao nodded and promised, "Don't worry, I will never go back on my word. Especially for you, celery dumpling, you have to keep your stomach strong..."
"Boom boom boom!"
Before Han Tao could finish his words, there was a knock on the door. Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin quickly hid in bed, and Gu Jia also quickly put on her clothes and went to the bathroom.
Han Tao couldn't help but laugh when he saw the looks on their faces. Although they could accept the sisters being together, it had to be without outsiders. Even the nanny had been given a day off last night.
On the two floors 19 and 20, only the nanny and childcare worker in Gu Jia's family needed to take care of Xu Ziyan and did not have a holiday, but they were all on the th floor, so it did not affect them.
But that's how things are. What you fear will come true. If it were normal, there would be no accidents. When the nanny came back, Han Tao and Gu Jia had already gone for a morning run.
But today, because of the special morning exercise, he didn't go jogging. It happened that Xu Ziyan didn't see his mother, so after dinner he asked the nanny to bring him upstairs.
At this time, the nanny had also prepared breakfast. Seeing Han Tao, who was dressed neatly, walking out of the bedroom, she smiled and said:
"Sir, breakfast is ready, you can eat now!"
"Okay, Sister Chen, you've worked so hard to come back so early to make breakfast. Go and have a rest for a while. You can clean up after everyone has finished eating!"
"Okay sir, you guys eat first. I'll take Ziyan downstairs. Xiaomei is going to get her schoolbag. They were in a hurry to go upstairs and forgot to bring it!"
"Songzi Yan?"
Han Tao looked around the living room when he heard the sound. Seeing Xu Ziyan hiding in Xuanhuan and secretly approaching him, he smiled and squatted down to greet him:
