Chairman Lei Jie stated that there are already many difficulties in the operation of private enterprises. As an entrepreneur, being able to overcome these difficulties and provide more employment opportunities to encourage women to continue their studies reflects the responsibility and dedication of entrepreneurs, which is something that deserves respect. We have gained a lot from our research work and received many good suggestions. The issue of women's fertility and employment is related to sustainable development. Our country attaches great importance to traditional cultural education, and the concept of family is very important. We take this matter as a major issue and solve it solidly. We are confident that we can do it well.
