It was true: despite all the hardships, Chen Ke had finally made it to Hong Kong for work. After four years of university, Li Xia had finally graduated and returned to Shenzhen. Before this, although she had always wanted to pursue further education, she had never imagined how much studying could change her life. Chen Rou felt the same; she simply wanted to make her mother’s life easier, which is why she had invested a sum of money into the Wool Textile Factory.
Of course, it wasn't a huge amount—only 100,000 yuan—but that money had helped preserve the factory, preventing it from being privatized. Instead, it was merged with several other wool textile factories, transforming it into a large-scale facility specializing in foreign trade orders. Li Xia’s house was still there, so she moved back in upon her return.
Although she felt content working as a technician in fabric research—her original field—she was, after all, a relative of Boss Nie. How could the factory possibly let her remain a mere technician? Li Xia was even a bit intimidated when she returned, as the former Director Gao, now Party Secretary Gao, had a heart-to-heart talk with her. He wanted her to take full charge of product research and development as a Deputy Director. Just like that, Li Xia had become a member of the leadership. They even arranged for her to move into a large three-bedroom apartment.
