In the first several years after the transport company was formed, Gao and Yao were still of like mind and spirit. Yao Changrong took care of the company's external operations while Gao Weiping managed the company's internal finances and other affairs. The company yielded an annual return of 800,000 to one million yuan.

With the company's business on the right track, Gao paid a just regular monthly visit to the company to check the accounts, and dedicated the majority of her time and energy to her daughter. With a booming career and happy home life, Gao became the envy of her relatives and friends. But the good times didn't last long. After awhile, Gao noticed that her husband Yao had changed.

"He became unruly. Almost every night, he didn't come home until two or three o'clock in the morning. Once I called him and asked what he was doing. He retorted 'Why do you poke your nose into my business? Why not just got to sleep?' He was not nice to me. By then he was having an affair with another woman, but he dared not go too far."

As the mutual affection between the husband and wife came under trial, Gao also found that her position in the company was being challenged.

"It was really tough for me. When I went to the company, no one addressed me. They didn't dare to."
As the situation developed, Yao even forbade Gao to look over the accounts.

"I came to the company and went to see the account books. He came over immediately, shouting at me 'You get out of here.' He didn't even allow me to enter the company. I really didn't know why he hated me so much. I had not done even one thing wrong to him. He was unworthy of me."

The husband and wife had been through thick and thin together. After their suffering should come happiness. But according to Gao Weiping, her husband's heart and mind were changing with their financial status. It seemed to be the old story of becoming rich and ungrateful. However, the husband Yao Changrong gives a different account.
