At the end of the annual meeting, Xiao Li originally wanted to leave silently like everyone else, but when he thought that his wife was also an old classmate of the big boss, he always felt bad about leaving like this, so he took Michelle to say goodbye to Lin Zitan and his wife.

Seeing Xiao Li and his wife coming from a distance, Emma quickly greeted them with a smile on her face.

"What's that, Emma, boss, let's go first, I wish you all a good night~"

Xiao Li held the prize in one hand and Michelle in the other, and said goodbye to Lin Zitan and his wife, as well as Alice and Joseph who were standing beside them, with a little restraint.

"Then you go back slowly, be careful on the road~" Lin Zitan nodded to Xiao Li and said.

Alice, who was also about to say goodbye to leave at this time, didn't expect to see this woman who was said to be Zhang Jing's ex-girlfriend up close again before leaving, so she couldn't help but look at her more.

When Alice looked at Michelle, Michelle also happened to raise her eyes to look at Alice, so the two of them nodded and smiled at each other in embarrassment.

Only then did Alice realize that this woman named Michelle was like her, and when she laughed, she had a pair of charming drinking nests, and for a while some subtle feelings suddenly appeared in her heart that she had never had before.

After returning home, Emma, as usual, completely believed what Lin Zitan said to them at the annual meeting, and fully accepted the fact that Michelle was Zhang Jing's ex-girlfriend.

Lin Zitan didn't mention this old acquaintance who hadn't seen him for more than 20 years, but had no intersection at all.

Emma went to the children's room to see the children, Lin Zitan took a shower and went to the study to read the information for a while, and just turned off the computer and was about to go back to the bedroom to sleep, when he received a call from Zhang Jing.

"Huh, did you get off the plane?"

Lin Zitan wondered why Zhang Jing called at this time, and thought that he had come back early.

"I haven't gotten on the plane yet~ By the way, tonight Alice said that she met an ex-girlfriend of mine, what's the matter, she said that you still know!"

Zhang Jing's voice could be heard from such a long distance more eager and excited than usual, but he didn't feel worried about being settled by Alice.

"I met Michelle tonight, do you remember, the girl you met online~" Lin Zitan also hinted kindly.

"Michelle, why don't you remember, but how did you meet her?" Zhang Jing said visibly relaxed when he heard this.

"It's a family member of one of my employees, what's the matter, Alice asked you to settle the score?" Lin Zitan said with a smile.

"I didn't settle the account, but I spoke in a sour tone, and said that this woman had the same drinking nest as her, and she was stunned for me, if you don't talk about Michelle, I really don't remember who it is!"

Zhang Jinghaha said with a smile.

"Alice is jealous, you think you're quite happy?" Lin Zi teased.

"That's, she has been blind to the warbler Yanyan who appeared next to me for a long time, this opportunity to be jealous is quite rare, hehe~" Zhang Jing said happily.

"Then do you want me to gather all the girlfriends you talked about in New York before and have a party? The effect is estimated to be more obvious at that time~" Lin Zitan said with a smile.

"Okay, you, don't play with me, just click until you get there, too much will not work, it will sour to death." By the way, I'm waiting for the plane right now, and I'll be on the plane in a moment, and you'll be at JFK tomorrow at 2:50 p.m. ”

Zhang Jing and Lin Zitan gaged for a while, saying that Alice would pick him up at the airport, so that Lin Zitan would not have to worry.

----------------------------

In the past two years, Zhang Jing seems to have become accustomed to such days of running back and forth at home and abroad, and his investment focus is still in China, from the entertainment industry to emerging technology, from financial investment to biopharmaceuticals, which can really be described as a wide range of investments.

Zhang Jing's annual income in the mainland is also hundreds of millions, and making money has become a habit. So under the guidance of Lin Zitan, Zhang Jing also began to do real estate.

Zhang Jing's real estate in the United States started from Long Island, and he bought a large villa like a manor with the assistance of Lin Zitan, with mountains, rivers and forests next to it, and he can take his friends to hunt or something in his spare time!

In the past, his house on Long Island is now used by Alice and her children to go to school, and Manhattan has invested in several high-end apartments, each of which costs millions of dollars, all of which are now managed by Lin Zitan's real estate agents and rented out to some super white-collar workers.

Zhang Jing means that after a while, when the money is enough, he will let his parents come here to support the elderly, and he will make some small investments casually, live with Alice and his sons, and just enough for the family to spend.

In recent years, China has entered the late stage of industrialization, with a new round of technological breakthroughs marked by 5G, and new economic industries such as information industry, intelligent industry, biological life industry, and green industry have been fully introduced, and traditional industries have been constantly reshuffled.

In recent years, with the continuous friction between China and the United States, Huaxia has been forced to adjust the previous export-oriented economic model, with the blockade of China's introduction of technology, which has caused more obstacles to China's use of foreign technology and brands, making Huaxia's scientific and technological innovation a top priority.

Many large investors are also in a dilemma of staying and waiting, returning to China for fear of being restricted and not adapting, and not returning to China for fear of being suppressed and excluded, but more people are still preparing for both.

Lin Zitan's previous investment income in China was also very good, so with Zhang Jing's encouragement, he also participated in some biochemical investments, and cooperated with several laboratories he invested in the United States to produce sleep products and antidepressant products that are increasingly in demand at home and abroad.

According to the 2018 China Sleep Index Report, from 2013 to 2018, the average sleep duration of Chinese people dropped from 8.8 hours to 6.5 hours, and an average of 38.2% of people had sleep problems, 11.2% higher than the global average. Among them, the post-80s and post-90s generations are becoming the main force of sleep disorders.

According to a survey, 62.9% of the post-90s young people are in the "irritability zone" and "bitter zone" of sleep, and 12.2% sleep in the "sleepless zone", and only 5.1% are in a state of "sweet sleep", so the sleep economy has become a hot economic phenomenon.

In 2017, the market size of China's improved sleep industry was about 279.7 billion yuan. From traditional commodities such as melatonin, sleep pillows, and sleep aids, to sleep bracelets, insomnia patches, sleep sprays, sleep sounds, etc., which are named "black technology", a large number of "sleep aid artifacts" were born.

Some sleep-related apps such as insomnia communities and insomnia psychological counseling have also been launched, and even spawned the "sleep together" economy.

In the United States, the economic loss caused by poor sleep has reached 411 billion US dollars, equivalent to 2.28% of GDP, the loss of Japan is as high as 138 billion US dollars, and the annual loss of Germany is 60 billion US dollars.

According to surveys, people with long-term sleep deprivation have more than 1.4 times the risk of depression, anxiety and other diseases and suicide than the general population.

Therefore, Zhang Jing keeps up with the trend of the times and the sleep economy of the domestic market coincides with Lin Zitan's research direction in the laboratory of the United States.

-------------------

The next afternoon, Lin Zitan still ran to JFK International Airport to pick up Zhang Jing, because it was almost three o'clock when he received his call.

Zhang Jing saw his old friend and gave Lin Zitan a big hug excitedly, and wiped the corners of his eyes pretending to be moved, and exaggerated:

"No wonder they all say that brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes!

"Didn't you say Alice was coming to pick you up?

Lin Zitan symbolically took Zhang Jing's light suitcase and asked with a sneering smile.

"Don't mention it, it was just sour yesterday, and I didn't coax it all night, and I was really angry!But it's good, being angry shows that she cares about me, hehe~"
