Jane's curse---part1

When Jane was 30 years old, she lost her job. Jane and her husband had worked in a factory together for some years. Later the business hadn't been going well and the boss fired many workers including Jane. One of Jane's friends suggested her to print name cards. It doesn’t need to invest lots of money and the small machine is easy to operate.
Thus Jane began to work for herself. She borrowed some money from her friends and bought a small printing machine. She let other shops to tape the films and then printed the cards by herself. She could also print some other things but her business was bad. Thanks to the job that her husband had the couples could still lived on. Her friend told her to publish some advertising on their local newspapers. However, it needed some more money. The debt had not paid back yet but Jane decided to borrow some more money for advertising.
It was a gambling and Jane won. Her business got better and she rent 3 rooms. Her husband also helped her after his work and slept here to guard the workshop. After 2 year Jane's 7-days-a-week schedule had paid off. She paid all the money and interests back to her friends.
After a while the photo shop Jane used to tape the film bankrupted. One day Jane met the girl who once worked in the shop. She said she now had no job. So Jane spent all her saving to buy a latest computer and let the girl work for her. She suggested Jane to buy a special soft, that has a wide variety of new letter styles. And Jane did so.
This soft made Jane's shop better than her competitors. They became too busy. So Jane hired 2 boys. One of them hadn't finished his college. He wanted to sleep in the working place so he could save some spending. He also asked for breaks if he needs to pass tests. After some days working together Jane agreed his requirements, since he was really clever and dedicated.
Several months passed. Jane felt confident now. a person who sold her ink told her there would be a meeting in Guilin, where is the most beautiful place in china. A lot of ink companies will go there and give some lectures about new ink techniques.
Jane and her husband were raring to go there. They didn't travel in their honeymoon. Luckily they had earned some money. It was enough to go.
Jane didn't know, after this journey her life could change out of blue.
The story is unfinished and it will be continued in my next blog.
