CLG Chapter 24

In the spring of 2005, three months had passed since Li Shuxuan resigned. Now, she was running a kindergarten with a friend, but due to various reasons, the situation was terrible. She could accept not making money, but the worst thing was that her kindergarten was caught in a fatal storm. Recently, Li Shuxuan had been unable to eat or sleep well.

Since it was her first time doing business, Li Shuxuan’s lack of experience led to the current situation, which wasn’t unexpected. However, what she didn’t expect was that her friend didn’t choose to face the difficulties with her but chose to run away with the money, leaving her with a mess!

Inside a tavern in Jianghe City.

After all, it was her first time starting a business, and there were too many things she didn’t understand. Even the legal person was tricked by her friend into filling in her name. Due to a shocking teaching accident in the kindergarten, her kindergarten was reported, complained about by parents, and even had to pay a lot of money in compensation. Under pressure, it had already been closed.

Li Shuxuan began to recount from the beginning how she and her friend started the kindergarten together. Chen Xuelin listened quietly beside her. In fact, Li Shuxuan had shared this matter with him before.

In Chen Xuelin’s view, Li Shuxuan was the kind of idealistic person who, although not necessarily incompetent, still had an unrealistic understanding of the goodness of human nature. Now that she had been scammed by a friend, he estimated that she was quite heartbroken.

This matter was too complicated, and he couldn’t express his opinion for a while. He prepared to welcome her back, but Li Shuxuan didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving.

“I have an idea, I don’t know if it will work.” Li Shuxuan was stunned, raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her. She quickly grabbed Chen Xuelin’s arm and asked, “Tell me about it.”

Hearing this, Chen Xuelin smiled, “I’ll tell you the day after tomorrow.”

“That won’t work. You’ll know in two days.”

Li Shuxuan glared at him, and had already made the best plan in her heart. Even if Chen Xuelin didn’t have any ideas, she wouldn’t have any reason to blame him.

“Shuxuan, what’s your relationship with Chen Xuelin?” Her mother asked curiously.

Li Shuxuan had just woken up, and her head was still dizzy. She felt puzzled. She had never talked to her family about her acquaintance with Chen Xuelin.

“What’s wrong?” Li Shuxuan shook her head and said.

“You don’t know what’s going on? He suddenly gave an interview today and talked about your kindergarten…” Her mother recounted what happened this morning.

This morning, a reporter’s news went viral, the content was about Chen Xuelin talking about the recent kindergarten incident. Facing the camera, Chen Xuelin said: “Of course I know about this matter, and the boss behind it is also my friend. I believe in her character. As for the child abuse incident that happened in the school, I think it’s entirely a personal problem of the teacher, and there’s a high probability that it’s a malicious smear by competitors.”

Chen Xuelin was completely guaranteeing her with his personal reputation.

Not long after, the teacher involved in the incident also admitted that she had deliberately done this despicable act out of personal jealousy. After that, her qualification certificate was revoked and she was given relevant punishment. As soon as this news came out, Li Shuxuan’s business reputation completely changed.

After a while, her kindergarten reopened, and there were very few people going there. With such a positive and talented teacher speaking out, plus Li Shuxuan personally appearing to guarantee, her business, which was supposed to be destroyed, regained hope.

Chen Xuelin also personally attended the opening of the following kindergartens. Li Shuxuan and Chen Xuelin often appeared in the same frame. Not only that, Chen Xuelin even chose to use his personal identity to serve as the legal person. Fortunately, Li Shuxuan’s kindergarten did not have any problems in the following period of time.

Li Shuxuan’s business gradually grew, and she also began to appear frequently in front of the camera. Even many media reporters began to track and report on her love affairs.

Three months later, it was summer. In a familiar tavern near Jianghe Elementary School, Li Shuxuan was extremely happy. She and Chen Xuelin sat at a table, drinking heavily.

The day after agreeing to her, Chen Xuelin contacted a reporter. Li Shuxuan, who didn’t rely on her father or background, was purely a lone player. Of course, some people didn’t want her to share the cake, so Chen Xuelin chose to temporarily protect Li Shuxuan’s business with his reputation. Later, he also found someone to investigate and found out that the person who abused the children in her kindergarten was indeed a scheme from other competitors. However, for fear of retaliation, he finally negotiated with the teacher. Chen Xuelin gave her 500,000 yuan and asked her to admit that it was her own fault.

Chen Xuelin’s actions could be said to be very swift. Not only did he stabilize Li Shuxuan’s almost collapsing business at a critical moment, but he also indirectly solved part of her competitors. Now, Li Shuxuan’s public kindergarten in Jianghe is the largest.

“Ah? Aren’t we in a relationship?” Chen Xuelin looked sad.

“No, no, no. You’re my best friend, I promise.” Li Shuxuan quickly explained.

As soon as Li Shuxuan finished speaking, she felt a warmth in her hand. It was Chen Xuelin’s hand. He held her hand tightly. Li Shuxuan’s heart was beating fast. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but Chen Xuelin held her hand so tightly that she couldn’t move it.

“What are you doing…” Seeing that she couldn’t withdraw her hand, Li Shuxuan said shyly.

In fact, after almost a year of getting along, it was impossible for her to say that she didn’t have any good feelings for Chen Xuelin. They both had many of the same hobbies and topics, and they could often talk for three to five hours. It was very relaxing for her.

Chen Xuelin’s politeness, generosity, willingness to listen, and even his ability to analyze and solve problems were first-class. She thought he was indeed a good man.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Shuxuan nodded.

One reason was because she thought Chen Xuelin could be called a capable and responsible good man, and the second reason was that she was able to get through this incident entirely because of him. No matter what, she was too embarrassed to refuse him, and most importantly, she also wanted to try.

Chen Xuelin was overjoyed to receive Li Shuxuan’s reply. After nearly a year of effort, he finally captured her heart. He had dated many women, but he felt something different from her than with other women. He couldn’t forget her from the first time he met her. Her independent beauty, stubbornness, and enthusiasm made Chen Xuelin crazy.

The next day, news reported that the two were suspected of having a love affair. Chen Xuelin even announced in a high-profile manner that Li Shuxuan did have a romantic relationship with him, which didn’t know how many teenage girls broke their hearts.

Like a woman in love, Li Shuxuan devoted all her energy and mind to it, and even began to put aside her career. Fortunately, with Chen Xuelin’s help, her career didn’t have any problems. From kindergarten to university, in addition to this, she began to attack other industries, and most of the profits were directly given to Li Shuxuan, in an obvious show of being a wife-doting demon.

Half a year later, at the end of the year, the two were engaged. In the spring of 2006, the two married at lightning speed.

As for why they got married so quickly, one reason was that Li Shuxuan’s family also knew about this relationship and affirmed Chen Xuelin’s efforts, and the second reason was that they were very satisfied with Chen Xuelin as a person. The third reason was that neither side had any economic problems. Chen Xuelin, as a university professor and Internet celebrity, was also not short of money.

Most importantly, the two were in love with each other, and Li Shuxuan had indeed reached the age of marriage. Chen Xuelin even bluntly said that as long as Li Shuxuan was willing to marry him, he would marry her immediately.

Although Chen Xuelin’s personal qualifications seemed insufficient compared to Li Shuxuan’s background as a dual-income family, Li Shuxuan knew that Chen Xuelin just hadn’t deliberately pursued profit. With his methods and mind, making money was definitely not a problem. Most of her foundation could be said to have been built with his advice.

But what no one expected was that the seemingly beautiful marriage was the beginning of the breakdown of their relationship.
