Yu Die is indeed a lovely young woman, but she's not up to handling this role. Mizuho and Shizuko are serving in senior management positions at Yu Yucheng Media Group. Among the several wives, only Dong Jiao has not stepped back into the spotlight. All of the wives are now working in various subsidiaries of Yucheng Group, and Gao Xiao feels particularly satisfied—she can now truly be a hands-off executive. The scene shifts to Dong Jiao. Dong Jiao has returned to her hometown of Hanhai City, back to her own home. Upon her return, both her parents are delighted, as they've learned that Dong Jiao has now become an international star. Yet Dong Jiao remains humble, content with a simple, ordinary life, and has moved past her past experiences. "Mom! Dad! How's the business at home these days?" Dong Jiao asks her father. Her mother gives her a knowing glance, and her father immediately beams with a warm smile, saying, "Jiao! It's wonderful! It's wonderful!" Dong Jiao is a thoughtful girl. She noticed that her father's response was hesitant, and his smile seemed particularly unnatural. From his demeanor, Dong Jiao sensed that he must be hiding something from her. "Father! I'm going to visit the supermarket tomorrow. I plan to take charge of managing my family business!" Dong Jiao said, then headed into her room. The room remained spotless. As she entered, a pleasant fragrance greeted her. Upon closer inspection, she saw a single blooming flower—lan flowers! She particularly liked orchids. Gazing at the orchid, Dong Jiao deeply inhaled, closed her eyes, and looked utterly relaxed and delighted, saying, "It's so fragrant! I absolutely love it!" She turned on the high-end sound system and listened to a beautiful rendition of the *Titanic* theme song, "My Heart Will Go On." The soothing, elegant melody immediately captivated her—truly wonderful, and even more enchanting as it continued. Dong Jiao really loved it—truly, even though the Eden garden specially prepared for her sisters by the sky was excellent, life on earth was also wonderful! It had been a long time since she last enjoyed such a relaxed lifestyle; in fact, I'm just a typical knowledge-based woman. The next day, Dong Jiao wandered around her family-owned supermarket, now renamed, wearing sunglasses—wearing them, one really couldn't recognize her. As the young lady of the family appeared in her own supermarket, she was struck by the scene. The supermarket was surprisingly quiet, far less bustling than usual. Why was that? Dong Jiao was puzzled. As a customer, she browsed the products and found that they were equally well-presented, high in quality, and competitively priced. The layout of the store was also excellent. Yet, despite being better arranged than before, it seemed to be receiving little attention. Dong Jiao was genuinely puzzled. After strolling around casually, she stepped out and looked up—wow! Spotting another large supermarket across the street, it stood out vividly. It was Tengda Supermarket, significantly larger than her own Lianzhong Supermarket. As a customer, Dong Jiao walked into the Lianzhong Supermarket and found that its scale, quality, and overall standards surpassed her own. The foot traffic was immense, people flowing in like a steady stream and out like a surge, creating a truly impressive scene. It was no wonder her own supermarket was struggling to stay afloat. Lianzhong Supermarket was, after all, Dong Jiao's family business—a company she had deep memories of since childhood. She recalled her grandfather, holding her father's hand just before he passed away, entrusting him with the responsibility to carry on the family enterprise. At that time, it was just a small retail store, sustaining the entire family's livelihood. Under Dong Jiao's father, the business began to expand, leasing a prime storefront in the bustling downtown area of Hanhai City. However, in today's era of soaring prices, the rent for such storefronts has risen dramatically, consuming the profits painstakingly earned by the business. Last year, Lianzhong Supermarket's annual profits were particularly disappointing. With a supermarket, Tengda, opening directly across the street, which outperformed Lianzhong in financial strength, human and material resources, as well as social standing, most of its customers shifted to Tengda. As a result, Lianzhong lost even some of its long-time customers. Tengda's management had adopted a deliberate strategy of aggressive price competition from the outset—offering intentionally low prices to gradually draw Lianzhong's steady customer base toward their own store. From every angle, employing any means necessary, putting pressure on that Lianzhong supermarket. Dong Jiao was deeply不服, how could it be that her own supermarket couldn't grow rapidly? This time, upon my return, I'm no longer going to be a celebrity—I'm going to pursue business! I'm determined to work hard for my family and build our supermarket into the top brand in Hanhai City. Yet, this remains just an aspiration. After discussing her vision with her parents, they looked hesitant. "We're short on funds! We're short on funds!" Their heads drooped in resignation. "I'll find a way!" As an international superstar, Dong Jiao earned a solid 200 million RMB from film projects and advertising endorsements. In fact, this is the platform high-light has provided her—without it, her value simply couldn't have been maximized. With determination, Dong Jiao handed over the 200 million RMB to her father and said, "I'd like to use this amount to strengthen and expand our supermarket business." The parents were very happy, after all, 200 million isn't a small sum—enough to open a large supermarket. But Father, being an expert in the retail business, calculated on the spot and shook his head, saying, "No! Still no! Even though we can build a supermarket larger than our current one, it's still much smaller compared to the one across the street." Without confidence in surpassing the competitor across the way, such a substantial investment would be completely futile. "Father, what should we do now?" Dong Jiao asked. "Here's the plan! If we have another 500 million, we can not only exceed the size of the competitor, but also outperform them in operations!" Father said. Dong Jiao frowned, deeply. 500 million—500 million—so much, and only 200 million had been earned so far, which was hard-won since she entered the entertainment industry. What could she do now? "Jiao! Where is Gao Liang? Why aren't you with him?" Mother asked. "Oh! He—he's currently in the U.S.! He hasn't returned yet!" "Dong Jiao just gave a vague answer." "No, yesterday I actually called the U.S. branch of the High Group to check, and they said Mr. Gao wasn't in the U.S.! Jiao'er! Quickly tell Mom what's going on between you and Gao Liang! Gao has been so kind to our family! Just a few days ago, he even called to inquire about our supermarket's operations. We told him everything was going well. How could we possibly feel embarrassed asking him for a loan?" Dong Jiao's mother said. "Mom! There's nothing really going on between me and him! Just that, as a daughter, I've been feeling exhausted in the entertainment industry and need some peace and quiet. I've been missing home, so I've come back!" Dong Jiao replied. "Oh, I truly wish my daughter could come back with Gao Liang! Only then will we feel at ease seeing you two together!" Dong Jiao's mother said. "Mom! I've gone back to my room!" After saying this, Dong Jiao rushed into her room. The next day, something completely unexpected happened. That's when the Lianzhong Group caught fire—no one knows exactly why, but the raging flames completely destroyed the company. Dong Jiao's parents were heartbroken, and Dong Jiao herself shed tears. In sharp contrast, Tengda Supermarket was doing exceptionally well. "Our family business is gone! Completely gone! This fire has destroyed five billion yuan of our inventory—five billion yuan! My goodness! All our profits over the years have been wiped out by a single blaze!" Dong Jiao's father wept bitterly. "Heaven's pity! Why didn't it look ahead? Why did it burn down our supermarket?" Dong Jiao's mother lamented to the heavens. "It must have been sabotage! It must have been sabotage!" Dong Jiao's father kept shouting. "It's you! It's the one across the way!" His emotions were clearly stirred. At that moment, a stocky middle-aged man, holding a cigarette, approached Dong Jiao's father and said, "What evidence do you have? Remember, don't go off on a tangent—be careful for your life!" "说完，身后四位保镖级别的人员走了过来. 董姣气愤地站出来，说："你们敢打我爸爸！" "Oh! It's Ms. Dong! The star has retired and is back now! Great! I'm precisely going to hit your father right here in front of everyone! What can you do?" The middle-aged man spoke with great arrogance.
