In the following days, all was calm.
Zhao Chunhan didn't pester too much, only sometimes Jiang Tanyue saw her lingering in the Bai family's back alley.
"Her eyes are surprisingly clear," Jiang Tanyue said. "What should I say? 'Parents are pitiable in their love for their children?'"
The ladies around the same age as the wealthy family in the South Side could all talk to Jiang Tanyue.
Of course, this was mostly due to her being accommodating.
With money in hand, Jiang Tanyue changed her previous lukewarm approach. She was swift and decisive, opening several chain stores in the nearby towns.
At this speed, the scale would be considerable by next year.
With enough manpower, they also safely passed the difficult eve of the business opening, and Lu Jingzhi was relieved of her "security guard" position.
She didn't have to run back and forth between the town and the village every day anymore.
