Li Xia said with a smile, "The fabric is produced in my workshop, and the clothes are sewn by myself. If you like them, feel free to take them."

Chen Rou lifted her foot: "These slippers are comfortable too, soft and warm."

Li Xia smiled broadly: "I have plenty at home, take a few more pairs to give back as gifts."

After a quick shower, the two of them lay down on the bed together.

This was the first time in two lifetimes that Chen Rou had shared a bed with her mother. Before leaving, she had talked to Nie Zhao about Li Xia, but she wanted to hear Li Xia's opinion. After thinking for a moment, she asked Li Xia, "Sister Li, have you ever thought about learning a foreign language?"

Li Xia said hesitantly, "I only have a junior high school education, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it."

“Our company’s secretary speaks very good foreign languages, and he’s not busy. If you want to learn, you can learn from him,” Chen Rou said.

Li Xia must have realized that Miss Chen was wealthy and didn't care about money, so this time she didn't back down and said, "As long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely study hard."

“Don’t go to Shanghai. It’s not good for you and your husband to be apart all over the country. Find a university in Shenzhen. Don’t study textiles. Study foreign languages. Foreign language majors will be more in demand in the future,” Chen Rou said.

Li Xia still couldn't let go of her old profession, but she didn't say anything more, only saying, "I will try my best to pass the exam."

“If you learn a foreign language, you can apply for a passport and go to Hong Kong. It’s very convenient,” Chen Rou added.

For Li Xia, this was even more tempting than going to university.

She felt like she was dreaming ever since she met Chen Rou. The thought of her leaving tomorrow made her feel indescribably sad, but she was too embarrassed to ask her to come to the mainland again. But as Chen Rou said, as long as she had a passport, she could go to Hong Kong. Wouldn't that mean she could go see Chen Rou whenever she wanted?

"I'm learning a foreign language, I'll start tomorrow," she said with a smile.

...

Actually, Nie Zhao wanted to get involved in the mainland's light industry, and he used the Sanmao Factory as his entry point.

Then, he will use Sanmao Factory as the central hub to acquire many light industrial factories and create a comprehensive, international light industrial zone. If Li Xia only knows her specialty, she won't be able to leave the workshop and will at most become a workshop director. But since she is proficient in both her specialty and foreign languages, and is also a veteran, she will become the soul of the entire industry.

Chen Rou had always admired her husband, who often made foolish mistakes, for his business acumen and talent development.

She could finally understand why people always went to great lengths to befriend important figures.

For ordinary people, a casual word of guidance from a powerful figure can change a person's entire life.

The next day, the wool mill was filled with the sounds of gongs, drums, and firecrackers as they prepared to send Chen Rou off.

Chen Rou, carrying the slippers and pajamas that Li Xia had given her, held Director Gao's hand and repeatedly told him that Li Xia was her sister, a sister even closer than a biological sister, and that Director Gao must treat her well.

Needless to say, not to mention Director Gao, who in the entire wool mill would dare to challenge Li Xia?

From now on, Li Xia is the Empress Dowager Cixi of the wool mill. As long as she's willing, Director Gao can treat her like royalty.

Nie Zhao still had work to do, and Chen Rou's visa was only valid for two days, so she had to go to Hong Kong.

Of course, when crossing the border, Chen Rou briefly told Nie Zhao about the rampant drug trafficking industry at sea and some things she had to deal with. She also specifically noted that she only needed one bodyguard at home, Song Yuanchao, and that she didn't need any others. She would handle the matter on her own.

As intelligent as Nie Zhao was, he certainly knew what it meant when it involved drugs and drug trafficking.

Because the number of people involved in drug use in Hong Kong is currently very large, and drug crimes have always been the biggest problem for the police. As a legitimate businessman, Nie Zhao would certainly not be involved in drugs. However, there are quite a few wealthy people in Hong Kong who started out by trafficking drugs and only gradually cleaned up their act later. Because drugs are profitable, there are still many wealthy families in Hong Kong who secretly support them and invest in the drug business.

Nie did not do that, but he would not get involved in anything related to drugs.

In Hong Kong, drug dealers are more ruthless towards the police and those who try to combat drugs, and their retaliations are often insane.

After passing through the checkpoint, you can only ride in your own car. Nie Zhao is used to riding in a Bentley, which is his own car and is naturally more comfortable. After getting in the car, he thought for a moment and asked, "Arou, are you looking for Master Er or Master Dong?"

As the saying goes, fight fire with fire, and fight poison with poison.

Those drug traffickers mostly operate in international waters, and because of the anti-drug campaign in the Philippines, the mainland's most capable officers, including her seniors, are all in the Philippines. Ordinary police officers cannot cross the border to enforce the law.

Besides, when you encounter a professional drug trafficking team, the quality of ordinary police officers and their weapons are simply no match; it's like trying to move a rock with an egg.

Chen Rou had heard from a Taiwanese man that when his father was a big shot in the Bamboo Union, he had a lot of connections with the underworld in Hong Kong. He had even come to Hong Kong to celebrate his father's birthday. Since the drug dealers were from Taiwanese gangs, she would find a Hong Kong gang, and even the name could be unrelated to drug trafficking, because the Taiwanese man was the best helper.

From his perspective, fighting against the Bamboo Union was a revenge story, a way of reclaiming what belonged to him.

Chen Rou briefly explained her plan to her husband and also frankly told him, "I need to find Master Er first."

Nie Zhao nodded and added, "You still need to work with Uncle Liang. If you have any problems that you can't handle, you can always ask him for help."

Although Liang Lisheng is no longer active in the underworld, his legend lives on everywhere.

The people in the underworld are all cunning and shrewd. Chen Rou is just like Song Yuanchao. She is good in every way, but she is too upright and too kind. She has enough fighting skills, but she is afraid that the other party will use dirty tricks to trick them, which would be troublesome.
