If Zhao Qingya gave up the inheritance of Hongda Group, it would affect the survival and continuation of the Zhao family. This is the pressure of the family. When you become the core leader, you have to bear their expectations while enjoying a glamorous life. Zhao Qingya can only move forward and cannot retreat. If she retreats, the foundation of the entire Zhao family will be shaken. The high hopes of the elders and the inheritance of the younger generations will be broken in her hands, and she will become the sinner of the family.

Fang Zhicheng sighed quietly and said softly, "The Zhao family is the same. Why do they let women bear all the pressure?"

The eldest son of the Zhao family entered the political arena of Huainan Province. People of his lineage naturally cannot engage in business-related matters, so all the burdens are now placed on Zhao Qingya.

Zhao Qingya chuckled, her eyes filled with confidence, and she sighed, "Don't worry, I'm not that easily defeated. After all, I've already made a good start in Yinzhou. This time when I return to Qiongjin, I have the confidence to make some reforms."

Hongda Group has many branches, mainly covering three major areas. First, commercial real estate projects. The group has not only developed large projects in several developed cities in Huainan Province, but also extended its tentacles to nearly ten provinces in Southeast, South China, East China, etc.; second, economic and trade companies, which have provincial and above agency rights for more than a dozen well-known brands, including clothing, cosmetics, luggage, shoes, etc.; third, star-rated hotels. Since 2000, Hongda Group has acquired nearly thirty three-star and above hotels across the country.

The above three major areas are all mature. If Zhao Qingya wants to participate in them, she will inevitably encounter obstruction from others, so she must find another way and start with the group reform to regain the Zhao family's control over the Hongda Group.

Fang Zhicheng tapped his fingers on the table several times in rhythm, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Sister Ya, have you ever heard of e-commerce?"

Zhao Qingya nodded and asked in confusion: "I have heard of it occasionally. It is a popular business model for overseas financing. However, although it is very popular now, it is just a relatively new concept. It is still difficult to see actual benefits!"

Seeing that Zhao Qingya had heard of e-commerce, Fang Zhicheng did not need to explain too many conceptual things to her, but just talked about his own views. He smiled and said, "In the next ten years, e-commerce will become an important driving force for economic development. There are two reasons. First, the Internet is developing rapidly. In the future, everyone will become an Internet user. The huge base of Internet users will form a frequent interactive information flow. Making good use of this group of people can generate great benefits. Second, the virtual world of the Internet will become a part of life and is easier to influence consumers than other media. As long as the technical hubs of online and offline are connected, e-commerce will become the most critical field for occupying commercial terminals."

Seeing Fang Zhicheng talking freely, Zhao Qingya smiled and said, "You mean, you want me to add e-commerce to Hongda Group's business?"

Fang Zhicheng nodded and smiled, "However, e-commerce has always been recognized as a money-burning field. It depends on whether you have the courage, Sister Ya."

Zhao Qingya knew that Fang Zhicheng was giving her advice on reforms. She did not reject Fang Zhicheng's good intentions directly. She nodded and smiled, "After I go back, I will ask someone to study it carefully. If there is real potential to be tapped, it would be a good choice to develop new business for the group through e-commerce."

Fang Zhicheng also talked with Zhao Qingya about some other business areas. Although Fang Zhicheng did not discuss them in depth, Zhao Qingya was impressed by him because Fang Zhicheng had a unique perspective on business and she gained a lot from it.

Zhao Qingya smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have a talent for business..."

Fang Zhicheng chuckled, "It's just talk. If we really want to implement it, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

When he was in college, Fang Zhicheng's biggest wish was to make money, so he studied in depth how to do business and make money. However, after graduating from college, his mother became seriously ill, so Fang Zhicheng decided to take a stable job in Yinzhou for the sake of conservativeness and became a civil servant. Usually, Fang Zhicheng kept all the twists and turns in his mind in his heart, but today, he said it out loud, and he felt an indescribable sense of relief.

Half an hour later, Zhong Yang and Wen Cui came hand in hand. Fang Zhicheng introduced the two to Zhao Qingya. Zhong Yang knew Zhao Qingya's background, so his words and deeds became much more cautious. Fang Zhicheng suggested playing cards, so the four of them started playing poker.

Snowflakes started falling outside at some point, causing the quiet Wen Cui to scream in surprise. The four of them then stopped fighting and stood up to enjoy the snow.

Fang Zhicheng took off his down jacket and put it on Zhao Qingya. Zhao Qingya glanced at Fang Zhicheng but did not refuse.

Zhong Yang was watching from the sidelines, secretly shocked. The reason why he used 30,000 yuan to settle the conflict between Fang Zhicheng and Dingzi was for Zhao Qingya's sake. Now it seems that the move was right. The relationship between Zhao Qingya and Fang Zhicheng is just like that of a couple, not like the brother and sister introduced just now.

The snow had been falling for nearly an hour, and it finally showed signs of easing. Fang Zhicheng left the Jetta at the gate of Chengnan Jiushi, and then drove Zhao Qingya's BMW to take her home. Although he could stay overnight at the villa, Fang Zhicheng decided to leave, went out and called a taxi, returned to Chengnan Jiushi, and prepared to drive the Jetta back to the community.

Zhong Yang had been waiting by the car for a long time and stopped it. Fang Zhicheng got out of the car helplessly, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Did you send your girlfriend back to school?"

Zhong Yang nodded and said with a chuckle, "There was a woman here just now, so I didn't drink enough. How about some more?"

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said, "It's no fun for two people to drink together."

Zhong Yang snapped his fingers and suggested, "Is it hard to find someone? How about I call someone now?"

Fang Zhicheng made a stop and tidied up, sighing: "I can't play with those people you called, so I'd better save my energy."

Zhong Yang was not annoyed, and smiled bitterly: "They are all a bunch of rough guys. If they drink too much, it is impossible for them not to cause trouble. Otherwise, you can do it?"

Fang Zhicheng thought about it and called Xu Peng. Not long after, Xu Peng came over in the snow and wind. After meeting, he complained to Fang Zhicheng that he had finally managed to coax the tigress at home, and this time, Master Cheng must make it up to him.

Fang Zhicheng stuck out his lips towards Zhong Yang and said with a smile, "Zhong Yang is the host, you can ask him for some wine."

Zhong Yang smiled and waved to the waiter, and ordered a few bottles of strong foreign liquor. The three of them drank for several hours, and the snow was getting heavier. The three of them were not good at drinking, and finally they were drunk in the South City Old Stories Bar. Dong Gu looked at You and sighed, and arranged for the waiter to take the three of them to a staff dormitory of the bar.

Fang Zhicheng was the first to wake up from his hangover. He found himself sleeping with two grown men, Zhong Yang and Xu Peng, and couldn't help but laugh at himself. Because he had drunk so much that he lost his mind last night, Fang Zhicheng first took out his cell phone to check if anyone had contacted him. He found that Xie Yuxin had called him in the early morning, so he called back.

Xie Yuxin sounded anxious and worried, "In the middle of the night, my sister suddenly got appendicitis and is now in the hospital."

Fang Zhicheng hurried out and sighed, "I'll be right there."

I went home to change clothes and took a quick shower, then came to the hospital. Qiu Hengde and Xie Yuxin were both standing outside the ward. Qiu Hengde nodded to Fang Zhicheng and said softly, "The operation was successful. We are out of danger now."

Fang Zhicheng turned his wrist to check the time and reminded: "Minister Qiu, how about I take you back to rest?"

Xie Yuxin also advised: "Brother-in-law, I'll stay here, don't worry."

Qiu Hengde had been tossing and turning all night, and had to go to the provincial capital to attend an important meeting in the afternoon. He stretched out his hand and pressed the arrow on Fang Zhicheng's finger, and said, "Just arrange for a driver to take me there later. You stay here with Yu Xin and accompany Xie Fang."

Fang Zhicheng felt his shoulders sink and nodded quickly.

After seeing Qiu Hengde off, Fang Zhicheng called Song Wendi to explain the situation. Song Wendi knew the relationship between Fang Zhicheng and the Qiu family, so she asked Fang Zhicheng to stay and wait until there was no problem at the hospital before coming back to work.

Around ten o'clock, Xie Fang woke up and saw Fang Zhicheng and Xie Yuxin standing by her side. She smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry to have worried you..."

Seeing Xie Yuxin's excited tears welling up in her eyes, Fang Zhicheng began to comfort Xie Fang, saying, "Sister Fang, we are relieved that you are okay."

"Le Le..." Xie Fang had just finished the operation and couldn't help but worry when she thought of her sister's daughter.

Xie Yuxin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly: "Lock her at home and don't go to kindergarten for a day. It should be fine."

Xie Fang frowned, waved her hands weakly, and said nervously: "How can we leave her... alone at home...?"

Fang Zhicheng and Xie Yuxin whispered, "How about I go back and take care of Lele, and you stay with Sister Fang?"
