Chapter 121 The Mother and Daughter's Company and Their Past and Present Lives
Li Yuan, the decisive and ruthless female chairman in the business world, is standing in the company lobby at this moment, with a vibrant young girl beside her, her beloved daughter Li Shiqing.
Li Yuan looked around at her familiar colleagues, a proud smile spreading across her face, and said loudly, "Everyone, this is my daughter, Li Shiqing. This girl had excellent grades in high school and is destined for university. She's interested in our company's business and wants to learn more, so I brought her here today to see our exhibits."
The company's colleagues nodded in agreement, their eyes revealing friendliness and curiosity.
General Manager Chen stepped forward, smiling, and said, "Chairman, this is your daughter. She's grown up so gracefully, and she looks like a bright and clever child."
Li Yuan waved her hand with a smile, "Haha, Sister Chen, this girl is curious about everything. Today we'll let her see what's what."
Li Yuan turned to look at her daughter and said gently, "Shi Qing, look, these are some of our company's main exhibits. If you don't understand anything, just ask your mom. Mom will be your personal guide today."
Li Shiqing nodded obediently, her eyes sparkling as she began to examine the neatly arranged and uniquely shaped exhibits around her.
Just as the mother and daughter were about to begin their tour, Li Yuan seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Shi Qing, what are your classmate Zhang Chen's plans lately?"
Li Shiqing blinked and replied, "He's preparing to study abroad soon."
Hearing this answer, Li Yuan's heart was in turmoil. She remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she thought: This is completely different from the situation in her previous life. In her previous life, her daughter Wang Shiqing (in her previous life, her daughter took her husband's surname, Wang) and Zhang Chen fell deeply in love in high school. Their passion was overwhelming, and in a moment of impulsiveness, they gave up the opportunity to go to university and went straight to marriage. But who could have imagined that married life would be so unhappy? Wang Shiqing suffered greatly in that marriage, losing all her spirit and energy. Li Yuan was heartbroken every time she thought about it.
In this life, Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen didn't fall in love. Zhang Chen chose to study abroad to pursue his dreams, while Li Shiqing decided to learn about company-related knowledge to build her future. The difference was like being in the South Pole and the North Pole, making Li Yuan marvel at the wonder of fate.
Li Yuan composed herself and led her daughter and colleagues toward the first exhibit. It was a new type of smart electronic product, small and exquisite in appearance, yet incredibly powerful in function. Li Yuan picked up the exhibit and began to introduce it like a professional salesperson: "Shi Qing, look at this little guy. Don't let its size fool you, it's incredibly capable. It can connect to all sorts of smart devices in your life, like an all-powerful little butler. For example, before you leave in the morning, it can check the weather for you and remind you to wear appropriate clothes; it can also connect to your car and turn on the air conditioning in advance, making you comfortable as soon as you get in. And what's more, it's very easy to operate, just like playing a mobile game, easy to pick up and use."
Li Shiqing curiously took the exhibit, examined it carefully, and asked, "Mom, how does it connect so many devices? Is there some special technology involved?"
Li Yuan smiled and looked at Xiao Li, a key technical staff member in the company. Xiao Li immediately understood and stepped forward to say, "Ms. Li, this is because it uses the latest Bluetooth and Wi-Fi fusion technology, which can quickly and stably pair and connect with various devices. Moreover, it also has an intelligent recognition system that can automatically adapt to devices from different brands, so it is very convenient to use."
Li Shiqing nodded as if she understood, "Oh, I see. So, was this technology developed by our company?"
Li Yuan chimed in, "Of course! This is the culmination of our company's R&D team's hard work. Look at those uncles and aunties over there; it's because they've been working day and night that this product is so amazing."
As she spoke, Li Yuan pointed to a group of R&D personnel next to her, who were wearing white coats and glasses and looked somewhat "bookish." They smiled sheepishly.
Next, they came to a stylish garment on display. The garment was uniquely designed, using a new type of fabric that was not only soft and comfortable to the touch, but also waterproof, stain-resistant, and breathable.
Li Yuan gently stroked the clothes and said, "Shi Qing, girls all love to look beautiful. What do you think of this dress? It's a new style that our company is preparing to launch."
Li Shiqing's eyes lit up. "Mom, this dress looks so beautiful! The fabric feels so special."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "This fabric is quite special. It's made of a special fiber and processed using our company's unique technology. You see, even if I pour water on it, it won't get soaked." As she spoke, Li Yuan picked up a glass of water and gently poured it onto the garment. The water droplets rolled on the surface of the fabric without penetrating.
Xiao Wang, the company's fashion designer, came over and added, "Ms. Li, another advantage of this fabric is that it is very durable and does not wrinkle easily. You don't have to worry about it getting wrinkled when you wear it, whether you're going to class, shopping, or attending an event. Plus, it's very versatile and looks good no matter how you wear it."
Li Shiqing asked with great interest, "Wouldn't clothes made of this kind of fabric be very expensive?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "That depends on our market positioning and marketing strategy. We need to ensure product quality and cost, while also considering consumer acceptance. This is also a question our marketing department colleagues need to study." As she spoke, Li Yuan looked at the marketing manager, who immediately began to explain their market research and pricing strategy, which Li Shiqing listened to with great interest.
Next, they came to a large mechanical equipment exhibit. This equipment looked somewhat complex, with a dazzling array of parts and instrument panels.
Li Yuan said to her daughter, "Shi Qing, you might find this a little hard to understand, but it's one of our company's important products and has a wide range of applications in the industrial field."
Mr. Zhang, an engineer from the company, stepped forward and began to explain in detail the working principle and performance advantages of the equipment. "Ms. Li, this equipment is mainly used for automated processing on the production line. It can precisely control various parameters, improving production efficiency and product quality. For example, its cutting accuracy can reach the millimeter level, and its operation is very stable, greatly reducing the scrap rate."
Li Shiqing curiously circled the equipment and asked, "Is this equipment difficult to operate? Does it require professional technicians?"
Mr. Zhang replied, "Initially, you might need some professional training, but our company is working hard to develop a more intelligent operating system so that ordinary workers can easily get started. We also provide comprehensive after-sales service to solve any problems customers encounter during use."
Li Yuan felt gratified seeing her daughter's focused expression. She knew her daughter was becoming increasingly interested in the company's business, which was a good start.
During the visit, Li Yuan frequently joked with her colleagues, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. "Look at me, isn't my daughter much smarter than I was back then? When I saw these things, my head was spinning, but she's so good at asking questions that are incredibly professional."
Colleagues chimed in, "Chairman, this is a case of the student surpassing the teacher! Miss Li is sure to be a business prodigy in the future."
Hearing this, Li Shiqing smiled a little shyly, "Mom, please don't praise me. There are still many things I don't understand."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't understand, take your time. You'll have plenty of time to learn once you're actually in the company."
Before they knew it, the visit was drawing to a close. Li Yuan looked at her daughter and asked, "Shi Qing, what did you learn from seeing these exhibits today?"
Li Shiqing said excitedly, "Mom, I've learned so much! I didn't know the company's business was so complex yet so interesting. I will definitely study hard in the future so that I can help you."
Li Yuan smiled and patted her daughter's head. "Good, as long as you have the will, Mom is very happy. However, you can't neglect your studies; going to university is still very important."
Filled with a sense of accomplishment and anticipation for the future, Li Yuan and Li Shiqing left the company. This day was special for both mother and daughter, not only strengthening their bond but also opening a new door for Li Shiqing's future development. Li Yuan secretly resolved to protect her daughter's happiness in this life, guiding her onto a bright path completely different from her previous one.
