712: Chapter 713 The Real Heiress Does Not Return to Her Place 45_1 712: Chapter 713 The Real Heiress Does Not Return to Her Place 45_1 Zhang Li never returned to China, but her familiarity within the circle of dostic tycoons was increasing.
Many dostic companies went to NY to get listed, and they couldn’t avoid dealing with a few investnt banks for which Zhang Li had managed several projects, perfectly assisting them in going public.
What shocked everyone even more was that despite her already busy work schedule, she still found ti to buy a few plots of land and build office buildings all over again.
Everyone was satisfied with Zhang Li’s capability and her low-key approach to not flaunting her wealth, and they all considered her as the most satisfactory candidate for a daughter-in-law.
Those who believed they had a good relationship with Zhang Li would recomnd their children to her face to face.
Unfortunately, in this life, Zhang Li had no desire to get married at all.
With no parents to pressure her and foreigners not ddling in such private matters, without eting a suitable partner, she would not even consider marriage.
Regrettably, no matter how tactfully she declined, there were always those who persistently tried to persuade her, which was extrely botherso.
Zhang Li initially entered investnt banking simply to accumulate retirent capital rapidly, as she had no great passion for the industry.
Having no choice, she spent each day reading financial docunts and engaging in various sches with people.
Always having to be on edge all day was truly exhausting.
Now, so-called longti friends of the Wei Family were popping up, using the pretext of looking out for her to introduce boyfriends to her, pointing fingers at and comnting on her private life.
After finishing her current cases, Zhang Li directly submitted her resignation.
As for her current team, there was no need to disband it—the deputy would simply take over.
The deputy had entered investnt banking even before Zhang Li, and while he had so skill, he was not as formidable as she was.
He was initially reluctant to work with her.
Even after working for a long ti and recognizing Zhang Li’s capabilities, he always harbored ambitions to surpass her, but alas, his abilities did not match his ambitions.
Just as he was resigning himself to never being able to replace Zhang Li, she surprisingly decided to retire early and resign.
The supervisors did consider retaining Zhang Li, for after all, an employee with good performance who did not compete for upper-level positions was their favorite.
However, Zhang Li was already tired of it all, having accepted an invitation from Harvard to go back to being a teacher.
It wasn’t that she did not want to return to teaching and educating, but rather that China was truly not a sanctuary for her, and her resignation was precisely to avoid facing them.
If she went back to work, it would indeed be like a lamb walking into a tiger’s den.
Yang Xue had officially beco a doctor, working at Harvard dical School.
And so, the two beca neighbors once again.
Yes, neighbors.
When Yang Xue learned that the neighboring house was for sale, she swiftly bought it.
In this way, the two lived in their respective houses for a lifeti, and although Zhang Li never married, she occasionally had brief romances.
After working for a few years, Yang Xue happened to et a senior from the dical college at a class reunion, and after hitting it off, they beca lovers, and then they got married and had children.
As Zhang Li faded into obscurity, the chase after her also ca to a halt.
After departing the financial world for so long, who would rember her?
What they didn’t know was that while Zhang Li had outwardly left the investnt world, her investnt endeavors had never ceased.
She would invest in good projects, and the pace of building office buildings in China never stopped.
Although the company could completely take out bank loans given its size now, she still invested with her own funds.
Even though the pace of investnt had slowed down, there was less financial pressure.
Over the decades, Zhang Li’s investnt empire had reached a staggering amount of money.
Zhang Li would return to China every year to check on her dostic industries and to pay respects to the Zhang family elders, but she never encountered anyone from the Wei Family.
When Wei Yan and his wife passed away, Wei Xudong did send Zhang Li an email to inform her of the event.
Zhang Li didn’t return but simply asked a forr CEO of Wei’s to send a wreath on her behalf.
Placed among the many wreaths and flower baskets, it essentially went unnoticed, even by Wei Xudong himself.
Had it not been ntioned by soone, he really would not have noticed it.
Wei Xudong had thought that Zhang Li would co back—after all, it was her parents’ last farewell.
But until the funeral was over, he did not see a trace of her.
Including the annual Qingming festival rites, everyone knew she ca back to pay respects to her parents at the Zhang Family’s graves but never to the Wei Family’s couple.
Everyone knew that Zhang Li had truly cut ties with the Wei Family to the end.
Wei Xudong didn’t know how he felt at the mont—whether he should be happy or not.
Having worked in Harbor City for many years, he didn’t achieve much, even though Zhang Li had long withdrawn from the investnt scene, but legends about her persisted.
Anyone who was involved in the investnt field knew of Zhang Li’s reputation, let alone the buzz created when the projects she invested in were revealed.
Only then did people realize that Zhang Li, thought to have left the investnt circle, still made investnts and possessed countless assets under her na.
Wei Xudong once thought that with the Wei Group shares, which were in Wei Yan’s hands, he had enough to live the life of a wealthy man.
When he would et Zhang Li again, he could absolutely show off a little, depending on the Wei Group’s rapid developnt in recent years, Wei Xudong had also beco a super-rich tycoon.
But before he could brag, he found out that Zhang Li’s net worth had long surpassed his, not to ntion that she had earned it all on her own.
What troubled Wei Xudong even more was the realization that this was all his life would amount to; he was only looking forward to his children achieving sothing.
To his disappointnt, his eldest son, on whom he had high hopes, was also a failure.
With nothing more than average talent, he fell for a girl just like Wei Wei.
Even though Wei Wei was once Wei Xudong’s first love and, despite the passage of ti, she still held a distinct place in his heart.
Wei Xudong did not fail to discipline his son, but the son was as stubborn as he had been, not taking advice and even arguing that just because Wei Xudong had been unlucky in love, it did not an that they would end up the sa way.
Wei Xudong could now empathize with Wei Yan’s feelings when he knew Wei Xudong was together with Wei Wei.
Irritated, Wei Xudong went out for a stroll, only to unexpectedly encounter Zhang Li.
Zhang Li had returned today to attend a conference.
As the years passed, she had begun to prepare her assets in succession.
She did not want the fruits of her life’s labor to be taken away by Wei Xudong, not even the slightest bit.
It was unexpected to run into Wei Xudong; they bumped into each other in the hotel lobby.
Wei Xudong knew that Zhang Li had always taken good care of herself, and she didn’t look anything close to 50 at all.
“Zhang Li.”
Over the years, Zhang Li also kept up with the news of Wei Xudong and Wei Wei.
The latter had long since disappeared off the radar after she initially climbed up using Wei Xudong to marry into wealth.
Once the wealthy scion had secured his footing, and Wei Wei, having aged and no longer bringing benefits, was ousted under the pretext of her being childless.
Wei Wei was not willing to accept this, but at that ti, her male confidante was no longer concerned with her, nor did she have enough money to hire a competent lawyer.
Helpless, she threatened the rich scion with so of the dealings he was involved in and managed to get only a villa and so savings in return.
After that, there was no further news of her.
Perhaps she still flits about in so corner, or perhaps she is no longer in this world.
None of that matters anymore; it is enough to know that she did not fare well.
For soone who once strived to join the ranks of the wealthy, the likelihood of climbing back up after falling from great heights is an impossibility.
