What exactly happened in Chapter 396?
Now all three children are in school, and they need bodyguards to pick them up and drop them off every day.
The capital city is a melting pot of all sorts of people. Now that they are well-off, they attract attention and are bound to be targeted by some ill-intentioned individuals.
Others may have nothing to lose and aren't afraid of those who are wearing shoes, but they can't gamble with the safety of their families.
Therefore, An'an, Xiangxiang, and Lele are always accompanied by no fewer than six bodyguards whenever they go out.
Of course, Shen Li also knew the principle that "mountains crumble and people run away."
An'an and Xiangxiang started learning boxing and self-defense when they were six years old, and now they have two years of experience. Of course, no one knows about this except their family.
Lele just turned six this year and has officially begun her martial arts training—children need to learn to protect themselves and have excellent skills so that they can protect themselves in critical moments.
Now that her work at the Chinese Academy of Sciences is settled and she has no more worries, Shen Li plans to move to Shenzhen.
After all, Ming Xiangyang's businesses and Licheng's national headquarters are both located in Shenzhen;
Even Lu Zhou is now working and developing his career in Shenzhen.
In this way, the young people no longer need to travel around.
Ming Xiangyang had previously transferred to an administrative position.
Later, after his elder brother recovered and returned to the unit, he was transferred back to the special forces.
In this generation of the Shen family, only the eldest brother is rooted in the military. The descendants are already few, and the second brother is deeply engaged in medical practice in the hospital. Therefore, someone from Shen Li's side is destined to take on the heavy responsibility and embark on a career in politics.
In this world, everything is interconnected; if one suffers, all suffer; if one prospers, all prosper. In the end, it is not enough for Lu Zhou to be involved in politics alone.
It's good that my elder brother can return to his original unit. He handles core matters concerning the foundation of the country and is in contact with top leaders.
It's important to understand that if domestic industries don't have strong backing, no matter how much tax they pay each year, they can't sit still and rely on others who are always eyeing the resources they have.
With many people and many things going on in the family, it's inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will try to set a trap.
Therefore, Shen Li never avoided discussing the conflicts of the adult world with the children just because they were young.
Whether it's the power struggles in the workplace or the unpredictable nature of the business world, Shen Li and Lu Cheng will tell their children about these things in detail, so that they can recognize the wickedness of human nature early on and learn to avoid risks.
After several years of peaceful life, Shen Li never let his guard down.
Over the years, she had people take the time to conduct background checks on all the family's employees. Most of them were fine, but Song Zhaodi's case was quite surprising.
Song's mother has been out of prison for many years, but Song's father and Song Yaozu are still serving their sentences, though their release is imminent.
Song's mother had tried to contact Song Zhaodi several times, so Song Zhaodi simply moved to the city with her husband and children. This finally cut off Song's mother's entanglement, and she could no longer find them.
Song Zhaodi now earns 200 yuan a month, while her husband stays at home doing laundry, cooking, and taking care of the children. Although they are not rich, they live a stable life.
A monthly salary of two hundred yuan was not low at the time, but since there were few people in the house, there was naturally more work to do.
The three boys squeezed into one room, and the couple took care of their daily needs, managing to manage it all.
Others' salaries have also increased significantly with the development of the times. Feng Ye and Zhao Qing can earn 500 yuan a month, and Zhao Qing, who is in charge of the security company, has seen his monthly salary rise to 1,000 yuan.
The biggest happy event in the past two years was Zhao Qing and Feng Yedi getting married.
The two initially tried to keep it a secret, but Shen Li eventually saw through their scheme.
Shen Li teased them a few times, and seeing that she had no objections, the two of them felt relieved and held a lively wedding ceremony.
Fengye's younger sister also got married to a young man from the security company.
In recent years, people around her have gotten married one after another and had children. There are so many children that Shen Li can't even remember the exact number.
Only Lanwei remains single to this day.
She had a boyfriend before, who turned out to be a complete jerk and broke her heart.
I heard that if she can't find a suitable person soon, her father will urge her to go back to her hometown for blind dates.
What's even more intriguing is that Yan Xiangcheng has remained unmarried, as if he's waiting specifically for Lan Wei—as long as Lan Wei doesn't get married, he'll keep waiting.
Lan Wei's father has now been transferred to a position in the province. Although he is not yet the top official, he has a very high chance of being promoted in the next term.
It's just that Lan's mother doesn't approve of her daughter marrying Yan Xiangcheng from the bottom of her heart. As for what her parents are really thinking now, no one can say for sure.
It's important to understand that, if not 100%, at least 90% of families involved in politics value marriage between people of similar social standing.
But Shen Li no longer cares about this.
The so-called "marrying someone of equal social standing" is ultimately nothing more than a concern for one's future.
With her own "confidence," what kind of wealth can't she have?
Moreover, today, Licheng Group accounts for one-third of the nation's tax revenue.
She came from the future and has insight into future development trends, so it would be difficult for her not to be at the forefront of the times.
Her expectations for her son were simple: that he could find someone he liked who was also reasonable.
But if you have a daughter, you can't just look at who you like; you have to find a partner with real talent and ability—a woman doesn't feel ashamed if she depends on her partner for a living.
But if a man lives off a woman, he'll feel ashamed even if he does.
The key point is that he will also feel that you are the one who embarrassed him.
Of course, there are a few men in the world who are clear-headed, but they are far too few.
After returning to China and staying for a month, Ming Xiangyang invited Shen Li to Shenzhen.
Shen Li took Feng Ye and Feng Hua with her. These days, she always has these two by her side when she goes out.
Flights were much more convenient at this time, but there weren't many people flying, and a ticket cost more than 200 yuan—you should know that the average monthly salary in Beijing was less than 200 yuan.
After getting off the plane, Shen Li had just reached the exit and was about to take out her phone to call Ming Xiangyang when she heard someone call out to her, "Li Li, over here!"
She looked up and saw Ming Xiangyang standing not far away, waving at her.
Shen Li curled her lips into a smile and casually lowered her hand that was holding the phone.
Ming Xiangyang was accompanied by Ming Cheng and Cheng Xing. He was now one of the top pharmaceutical merchants in the country.
However, the internet was not yet well-developed at that time, and apart from people in the industry and circle, few people knew him.
Ming Xiangyang opened the door of a luxury van and gestured for Shen Li to get in.
Mingcheng specially brought two cars this time, and Fengye and Fenghua walked towards the back car in perfect unison.
Shen Li got into the car and turned to look at Ming Xiangyang: "Why did you suddenly call me to Pengcheng?"
Ming Xiangyang's eyes held a smile, and his tone was gentle: "Nothing, I just missed you."
"I don't believe it," Shen Li raised an eyebrow. "Whenever you miss me, you always fly back to Beijing by yourself. You specifically asked me to come here this time, so you must be hiding something."
Ming Xiangyang smiled slightly and rubbed his temples: "It's too late today. I'll take you somewhere tomorrow, and you'll see when we get there."
Shen Li nodded and replied, "Okay."
