Company staff are contacting some clients. Once the clients respond, I will arrange for someone to come over to discuss the details of the cooperation.

I also hope to contribute to the development of my hometown.

Before leaving, Sheng Xiping shook hands with each of the county leaders and said sincerely.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Sheng. We really appreciate it. We never expected that you would be so kind as to help us find a way out without minding our presumption."

Whether this matter succeeds or not, when President Sheng returns to his hometown in the future, he must come and visit this place.

Secretary Zhao held Sheng Xiping's hand and said with great gratitude.

"Okay, Secretary Zhao, when you have some free time in the future, you can also go to the Northeast for a visit. When you do, please let me know so I can show you some hospitality."

Sheng Xiping smiled and shook Secretary Zhao's hand, speaking very sincerely.

The county arranged a car to take Sheng Xiping's family to the train station. It was getting late, so they had to leave quickly.

Sheng Xiping led his wife and children into the car, rolled down the window, waved to Secretary Zhao and the others, and the driver drove off, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Secretary Zhao, do you think this General Manager Sheng can really find us any profitable projects?"

After the car drove away, the people from the county couldn't help but ask.

"I can't really say for sure, but look at the pet supply company in the neighboring city, isn't it doing quite well?"

We've done our best, and we have a clear conscience. If it actually works out, that would be even better.

If it doesn't work out, we'll only have to pay a little for entertainment expenses; we won't lose much.

"Being able to befriend such a big boss might come in handy in the future." Secretary Zhao sighed, though he himself was uncertain.

Sheng Xiping and his party took a train from Heze to the capital, where they stayed for five or six days.

The children went to watch the flag-raising ceremony, visited the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, and climbed the Great Wall. They also went to Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Sheng Xitai was working on a research project with his supervisor and didn't go home this summer. He took a few days off while his older brother and sister-in-law were visiting and spent time playing with his nephews.

Sheng Xikang took some time to show Sheng Xiping the house.

The owner of the three-courtyard house I was looking at before has lowered the price; it sounds like he'll sell it for 80,000.

Sheng Xiping went to take another look, and after mediation, finally bought the three-courtyard house for 72,000 yuan.

Both parties signed a contract, exchanged money for the house, and then went to the housing management office and other departments to complete the formalities. In this way, the Sheng family acquired a three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) in the capital.

"Wow, this yard is much bigger than ours, but it's all dilapidated."

After buying the house, Sheng Xiping took his wife and children to see it. As soon as they entered, Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu said this.

"You don't know anything. This house is worth much more than our old house."

This house is over a hundred years old, of course it's dilapidated! We'll get someone to clean it up, and it'll be as good as new.

Sheng Xiping patted his youngest son's head and smiled.
