Chapter 333: Mentality Changes

"We want to wait until Jinzhou is free and go on a trip together. It's simple and relaxing."

These words were reasonable and well-founded, but they also put all the responsibility on himself.

Fu Jinzhou responded at the right time, his tone soothing: "Grandpa, I have my own plans for this matter, so don't worry about it."

The old man looked at the two people in front of him, one with a firm look in his eyes, the other maneuvering, cooperating with each other tacitly.

Especially Su Li, under her seemingly weak posture, she has clear ideas and unshakable determination.

He was silent for a moment, then finally sighed.

"Alas, you young people always have your own ideas."

"However, Jinzhou, remember, this matter concerns the reputation of the Fu family and also Su Li's reputation. We can't treat it lightly."

"I know," Fu Jinzhou nodded seriously, "Grandpa, don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I will never let Su Li down."

The old man nodded and said nothing more.

After dinner, the old man called Fu Jinzhou to his study to discuss work.

"It's been a year, and I've seen your achievements in Qi County. The leaders at your workplace have also praised you highly."

The old man was very pleased when he looked at his eldest grandson. This kid was capable and courageous. If he could focus on a career in politics, his performance would not be bad, and the heights he could reach in the future would be immeasurable.

Fu Jinzhou said in a calm voice, "It's just a temporary solution. The key is whether we can double our output and profits this year."

"Boy, do you still hate me in your heart?"

The old man stared at him with a somewhat uneasy look.

Fu Jinzhou raised his eyes and said, "I hate you, but you are also my grandfather, what's the use?"

The old man's eyes widened, his neck stiffened, and he said stubbornly, "It's useless!"

"Then why are you asking?" Fu Jinzhou raised his lips slightly, "If it weren't for you, Su Li and I wouldn't be separated and would be living a peaceful and stable life in Pingjiang."

"If you regret it, go back."

The old man got angry and turned away from him.

"I can't go back." Fu Jinzhou's voice was tinged with laughter. "The country is seeking development, and all regions are concentrating their efforts on finding a way out. I've seen more, encountered more, and my mindset has changed."

Fu Jinzhou's voice deepened. "People everywhere are still very poor. Seeing their suffering and weakness has given me a different perspective. I used to think my work of saving lives and healing the wounded was meaningful. But now I feel that if I can bring hope to even more people, it will be even more meaningful than before."

"Qi County Cement Plant has over 300 employees, and behind them are over 300 families. Compared to the stability before, I like the challenges now."

The old man looked at his grandson, tears in his eyes.

He was not wrong about him. Fu Jinzhou's inherent sense of responsibility would allow him to keep moving forward with heavy burdens.

"My boy, although Grandpa knows this road is not easy, the development of the times, the prosperity of the country, and the support of the people always require someone to face the challenges!"

"I sent you to the army to hone your willpower. You possess the fortitude that Grandfather values, and you also possess the composure to face your desires. Such a character is truly precious!"

Fu Jinzhou smiled and said, "Why have I never heard you praise me before? You said that because it suits your taste, right?"

Fu Zheng glanced at him and said, "Stop playing tricks on me. I have to thank Su Li. If it weren't for your feelings for her that gave me the opportunity, I would have been afraid that such a good seedling would have been wasted."

"Then you might as well be nice to your granddaughter-in-law. If she gets upset one day, I might just quit."

The old man looked at Fu Jinzhou's carefree appearance and smiled with narrowed eyes, "Promising!"

An old man and a young boy came out of the study. The old man took out a brocade box from his pocket and handed it to Su Li.

"Xiao Li, this is your grandmother's dowry. I was planning to give it to you at the wedding, but since you have your own ideas, I won't force you."

Su Li looked at the brocade box in Fu Zheng's hand and shook her head, "Grandpa, this is too valuable. I can't accept it."

"It was originally intended for my granddaughter-in-law, so you deserve it."

Su Li wanted to refuse, but Fu Jinzhou took the box and stuffed it into Su Li's hands, "Take it, the old man gave it to you with great difficulty."

Shen Shu smiled and said, "Yes, your grandfather has always been worried that this thing will have no successor."

Su Li refused disrespectfully and put the brocade box into her bag after thanking him.

I didn't open it until I got home.

It is a jade bracelet that is completely emerald green and glows fluorescent under the light.

"So beautiful!"

Su Li couldn't help but praise him. Fu Jinzhou took it out of the box and slowly put it on her hand.

The bracelet sets off her fair skin, making it look even more like snow.

Fu Jinzhou lifted her hand and kissed it gently, then slowly said, "Su Li, do you think I don't want to have a wedding?"

"ah?"

Su Li didn't expect Fu Jinzhou to ask this. After a moment of silence, she smiled and said, "I just find it troublesome. You know, I'm not very good at socializing."

"Su Li, we will definitely have the wedding. I told you that you will have everything you need. I just feel that I have to fulfill my previous promise, and it is also my determination to marry you."

The cement plant's operating model has undergone major changes. If the profit can double by the end of this year, Fu Jinzhou's mission at the Qixian Cement Plant will be accomplished.

What he will face then is returning to his unit and focusing on the economy.

Business models that adapt to the times will be promoted, thereby driving the economic situation in Dongjiang Province.

This is what Fu Jinzhou wants. To have a Qixian cement factory is not the goal, but just the beginning.

"Fu Jinzhou, thank you!"

Su Li held his face, not knowing what to say to express her feelings at the moment.

She never doubted Fu Jinzhou's excellence and responsibility.

What I didn't expect was that I was petty and thought he was afraid that others would talk about his past.

Unexpectedly, these things never stayed in his heart.

Fu Jinzhou hugged her and whispered softly, "If you want to thank me, you have to work harder tonight."

***

The next day, when Su Li got up, it was almost noon. She came out of the bedroom, smelling the fragrant smell.

"It smells so good, what delicious food did you make?"

Hearing Su Li's cheerful voice, Jiang Jun came out of the kitchen.

"Are you up? Jinzhou went to the company to report on his work. You haven't even had breakfast yet, so go drink your milk first. Your dad will be here for lunch later."

Su Li looked at Jiang Jun standing there in a daze.

"Don't just stand there, go drink some milk."

Su Li looked at the glass of milk on the table. She and Fu Jinzhou had just returned last night, so it was obvious where the milk came from.

After spending more than half a year together, Su Li's attitude towards Jiang Jun has softened a lot, but she still can't call her "Mom".

Su Li sat obediently at the dining table, drinking milk slowly, and occasionally glancing at the busy figure in the kitchen.

"Here, eat this egg custard and this plate of fruit. Lunch won't be served for a while, so don't go hungry."
