Aunt Huang looked at Ye Zhi and the others for a while, and the next moment, her colleague next to her said, "I heard that the clothing department received a batch of women's summer clothes yesterday, with a lot of fashionable skirts. Xiao Liu from the sales department said that it was from the supplier who sold out of the spring clothes before. This morning, many people said they wanted to buy two skirts with internal quotas. Comrade Huang, don't you often run into Director He in the alley? You are also a salesperson in the clothing department now, can you ask Director He to reserve a few skirts for us?"

Aunt Huang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Which state-owned garment factory is that supplier from?"

My colleague smiled and said softly, "It's not a state-owned factory at all. I heard it's a self-employed clothing factory in Guangzhou! Don't you know? There are a lot of smuggled goods in the south, all from Hong Kong. Last year, the clothes in our department store were not selling well. This year, as soon as we changed to a clothing factory in the south, sales went up all of a sudden! I think it might be from Hong Kong. Young people nowadays like it very much."

The more Aunt Huang listened, the more surprised she found it. She didn't know why she always linked this clothing supplier to Ye Zhi.

Thinking back to when I had mocked Ye Zhi in front of her during the Chinese New Year, saying that she was a middleman, I felt a little upset now.

Aunt Huang asked, "Do you know the name of that supplier?"

My colleague frowned and said, "How should I know this? By the way, what about that thing you just mentioned? Can you save a few skirts for us in private? My sister said she didn't buy those spring skirts and she kept complaining to me!"

Aunt Huang nodded without thinking: "Okay, I'll save a few for you when the time comes."

Because she was transferred to the clothing sales department last month, her former colleagues in the grain and oil department all liked to come to her to leave clothes for her. Aunt Huang was also a person who cared about her reputation, so she nodded and agreed without thinking.

Ye Zhi followed He Xiaoli and Secretary Liao to the office on the fifth floor.

Secretary Liao is the clerk in charge of the operations of the department store. Previously, their department store sold a batch of spring clothes sent by Ye Zhi, but they were in short supply soon after they were put on the market. This time, she took advantage of Ye Zhi's visit to Beijing to discuss with her the transportation of clothing and the second batch of summer clothes.

Secretary Liao walked to the sofa and sat down, then waved to Ye Zhi, "Comrade Ye, come, sit down and have some tea first."

Secretary Liao then said, "I heard from Xiaoli that you can taste tea. Can you help me take a look at this tea?"

Because He Xiaoli had praised Ye Zhi several times in front of her, and He Xiaoli had worked under her for more than ten years, this was the first time she saw her admire someone so much.

Before, she had thought that Ye Zhi would be a resolute and vigorous female man, but unexpectedly, she was actually a delicate and soft pretty girl, which made people very happy. Along the way, she attracted the attention of countless male comrades.

Ye Zhi picked up the enamel cup prepared on the table, took a sip, thought for a while and said with a smile: "This Pu'er tea is golden and translucent, with a faint orchid fragrance. It tastes sweet and has a strong aftertaste. There is no bitterness at all. It tastes good."

Because several elders in the family love drinking tea, Lu Wei has also distributed a lot of tea in the past two years, so Ye Zhi sometimes likes to drink it with them. After drinking a lot, she naturally knows some different types.

However, there may not be many types of tea, but there are many varieties and branches, so Ye Zhi is not sure which variety of Pu'er this is, so she dare not say it casually.

He Xiaoli also picked up the enamel cup and took a sip, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is a batch of tea that I picked when I went to Yunnan Province to purchase last month. Now I just want to see how the quality is."

This batch of tea is actually just waiting for Secretary Liao's approval before it can be purchased. In the past few years, tea, tobacco and alcohol were all specially supplied, and the quantity requested by their department stores each year was not that large. However, the economy has been opened up in recent years, and everyone has some money in their pockets. So He Xiaoli also wanted to import more ordinary and cheaper tea, as sales were very good during the New Year and other holidays.

However, Secretary Liao had not yet agreed, so He Xiaoli put the matter aside. Unexpectedly, when Ye Zhi came this time, Secretary Liao actually mentioned this matter. It seems that he also has plans in this regard.

Secretary Liao smiled, put down the enamel cup in his hand, and said, "Since so many people have tried it and think it's okay." Then Secretary Liao looked at He Xiaoli and said, "Xiaoli, then you can find a time to talk to Yunnan Province. If the price is right, we can also bring in a batch and sell it back to try."

He Xiaoli nodded: "Okay, I'll call them later."

After chatting for a while, the three of them started talking about the next batch of summer clothes.

He Xiaoli took out a notebook, looked at the data, and said to Secretary Liao: "At the end of April, the batch of clothes we bought from Comrade Ye's factory was sold out. Not a single piece was left. It took half a month from the time they were put on the shelves to the time they were sold out. During this time, people kept coming to ask if we had any more stock."

Because the spring batch of clothes was the first collaboration with Ye Zhi, the quantity they requested was not large.

Summer clothes will soon be on the shelves. The first batch of clothes has been delivered to the warehouse. Now we have to see if we should order another batch.

"I also went to the women's clothing department yesterday, and the sales are indeed unprecedentedly good." Secretary Liao then looked at Ye Zhi and said, "Comrade Ye, our department store can set up a separate counter for your clothing, which means that we can only sell your clothes. But now I also want to ask you, are the clothes from your factory currently only supplied to our department store?"

In addition to their department store, there are now many private clothing stores. Most of them are imported from Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The styles are fashionable and the prices are not high, so many young girls like to go to private clothing stores to buy little skirts.

The emergence of individual private stores will still have some impact on their traditional state-owned stores. Although they are still in a state of disrespect, they can no longer stand still and must keep up with the trend.

Ye Zhi met Secretary Liao's eyes and smiled, "Yes, we are only supplying it to your company at present. Of course, the country now encourages self-reliance of individual businesses. I have also noticed that there are many more individual clothing stores in the city. Maybe there are opportunities for cooperation."

Secretary Liao smiled and said, "Our department store is the largest in the local area. Believe us, we can definitely provide you with a broad stage. This is my plan. Since we have already started cooperation, can you supply the second batch of summer clothes and the following autumn and winter clothes to us? Of course, it is limited to the Beijing area, and we will also give you a proper increase in price."

Secretary Liao knew that Ye Zhi would definitely have no trouble finding business, but she also wanted to continue cooperating with Ye Zhi to gain the greatest benefits for the unit.

Her years of experience have taught her that scarcity is still relatively important in the market. After all, rare things are valuable.

The purchase price of Ye Zhi's clothing is obviously more favorable than that of the state-owned clothing factories they have cooperated with before, and the styles are also very fashionable. They are sold out soon after they are put on the shelves. It can be said that this has never happened before.

Ye Zhi smiled when she heard this: "Of course there is no problem with this, but I also have a condition."

Secretary Liao: "You say."

Ye Zhi: "I believe Secretary Liao has also seen the clothes from our factory. There is a label on the collar or waist with the name of our factory written on it. If our factory supplies clothes exclusively to your company, I would also like to hang a sign with the name of our factory on our clothing counter."

In this era, there was no strong brand awareness, and most of the goods on the market were still produced by state-owned factories.

But as a private factory, if you want your products to be familiar to the general public, you have to build a brand and make it well-known.

Hearing this, Secretary Liao lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "This is not a big problem, so let's make it a deal."

Then Secretary Liao said to He Xiaoli, who was silent, "Xiaoli, please draft the contract for me to review, and we will finalize the time for the handover of the next batch of summer clothes."

After discussing a series of things, Ye Zhi signed a two-year supply contract with the department store. In the next two years, even if she didn't sell her clothes to anyone, it would be enough to support her clothing factory.

But for Ye Zhi, this is far from enough.

After signing the contract, He Xiaoli took her to the clothing section of the department store to see how big the sign should be and where the sign should be placed.

After arriving at the clothing area, Aunt Huang recognized Ye Zhi at the first moment.

Just when she thought the other party was here to shop, she heard He Xiaoli say, "Look, this is the sales area of ​​your clothing factory, which specializes in selling your clothes."

Because today is Saturday, there are many people in the department store. Ye Zhi didn't see Aunt Huang for a while, so she smiled and said to He Xiaoli: "Thank you, Sister Li, this is a very good seat."

He Xiaoli arranged the clothing for her factory facing the stairs. When people who came to buy clothes went upstairs, the first thing they saw was her clothes. This position was called the "C position" in later generations.

Such a good position was given to her family's clothes. I believe He Xiaoli made the decision against all odds.

In this regard, Ye Zhi really didn't know what to say except thank you.

He Xiaoli smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Let's go and see where the name will be most suitable."

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Okay."

Seeing the two of them talking and laughing as they walked to the counter nearby, Aunt Huang's face almost turned pale. What does this, this, this... mean?

Ye Zhi, a middleman, actually sold clothes to their department store?

Just when Aunt Huang was still a little bit unconvinced, He Xiaoli clapped her hands and said in a loud voice: "I think this location is quite good. When the time comes, you can hang the sign of your clothing factory there, it will be very eye-catching."

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, this location is indeed quite conspicuous."

Aunt Huang's eyes immediately widened. It turned out that Ye Zhi had gone from being a middleman to a factory owner doing business with state-owned department stores?

For a moment, she was so confused that she couldn't even hear what her co-workers were saying to her.

A coworker called her name loudly: "Huang Erdi, what are you doing? Can't you hear me?"

Aunt Huang exclaimed, "What's the matter? What's wrong?"

The coworker rolled his eyes at her and said, "Someone is looking for you to buy clothes, why are you standing there like an idiot?"

He Xiaoli and Ye Zhi heard the noise and turned around to look at Huang Erdi and the other salesperson. Ye Zhi met Huang Erdi's shocked gaze and nodded at her calmly as a greeting.

However, Huang Erdi turned her head away awkwardly.

When He Xiaoli heard the noise, she walked over to Huang Erdi and scolded, "Comrade Huang, I've told you so many times that we need to correct our attitude as salespeople!"

Then, He Xiaoli singled out Huang Erdi as an example and called a meeting of all the employees in the sales department.

Huang Erdi was scolded by He Xiaoli for no reason and felt so depressed!

After the meeting, He Xiaoli sighed to Ye Zhi, "Sorry to have kept you waiting. Now there are more self-employed people, and the shortcomings of state-owned enterprises are slowly being exposed. It's hard to motivate these salespeople who think they have a stable job."

This is a common problem in many state-owned factories. Under the impact of self-employed individuals, the profits of many state-owned factories have gradually declined, and some state-owned factories have even begun to plan to lay off workers.

Although their department store has no shortage of shoppers, if this problem is not solved in the long run, it will definitely become a disadvantage in the future.

Ye Zhi comforted him, "Take your time, there will always be a way to solve it."

He Xiaoli shook her head: "Forget it, let's wait and see how it goes."

After the two of them looked at the location of the sign, He Xiaoli took Ye Zhi to Donglaishun Hotpot.

When she returned to the courtyard, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

However, Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu had not gone to bed yet and were waiting for her to come home.

Seeing that the two elders were still awake, Ye Zhi washed her hands and walked into the main room to talk to them and asked them how things were going recently.

Knowing that the two elders were safe, Ye Zhi felt relieved.

Ye Zhi went back to her room, took out a thick envelope from her luggage bag, and then put the envelope into Grandma Lu's palm, saying, "Grandpa, Grandma, Lu Wei and I are not with you. We can't get back in time if anything happens. You can keep this money for yourself. It's not much, but it's a token of our love."

Before she married Lu Wei and gave birth to Nian Nian and Sui Sui, Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu gave them a lot of money.

Later, when Pingping and Anan became pregnant, they also went to the south to take care of them for a few years.

Now that she can earn money, it's time for her to be filial to her two elders.

Besides, some favors can’t be repaid with money.

Just before coming to Beijing, the department store had already paid her the balance for the first batch of summer clothes, so Ye Zhi withdrew 10,000 yuan before coming to Beijing to leave some money for the old lady.

Grandma Lu held the envelope that was as thick as a brick. She knew without even looking inside that there were stacks of big unity bills, at least several thousand yuan, if not ten thousand. So she frowned and said, "Kid, how can two of us old men and women need so much money? Your garment factory just bought a few machines, and you're short of money right now. You should keep it for yourself!" As she said that, she was about to stuff the envelope into Ye Zhi's arms.

Grandpa Lu also said: "That's right, your grandmother and I still have pensions, don't worry, we are not short of money."

Ye Zhi pushed it back again, then put her arm around Grandma Lu's shoulders and said in a soft voice, "Grandma, I know you are not short of money, but this is a token of filial piety from Lu Wei and me, so just accept it."

Grandma Lu wanted to say something, but Ye Zhi had already put the envelope into her coat pocket and said, "Grandma, we didn't do it well. Just don't blame us."

Grandma Lu touched Ye Zhi's head affectionately, her eyes red: "Silly child, why are you saying these things? You have your own world and your own ideals. You are still young and don't have to be held back by us, the older generation. Grandma and your grandfather also fully support you in pursuing your own ideals and having no regrets."

Grandpa Lu: "That's right. Grandpa and grandma are your backers. If you encounter setbacks, don't give up easily. Come back and take a walk when you are free. Grandpa and grandma will always support you."

Ye Zhi felt a lump in her throat after hearing what her grandparents said. She hugged Grandma Lu and nodded.

The next day, Ye Zhi and Lu Wei went to Hua University and brought some handmade gifts made by the children for Ye Xiaoding.

Ye Xiaoding is getting stronger and stronger now, and his height is almost the same as Lu Wei.

When Ye Xiaoding saw Ye Zhi and Lu Wei coming, although he was very happy in his heart, he no longer showed it like he did when he was a child.

After the three of them had lunch at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Ye Xiaoding took them to visit Huazhong University of Science and Technology and the neighboring Peking University.

Along the way, there were young female comrades who secretly looked at Ye Xiaoding, but Ye Xiaoding was almost completely focused the whole time and obviously did not notice other people's looks at him.

Ye Zhi then asked tentatively: "Xiao Ding, after you went to college, have you met classmates from different places? Where are they from?"

Ye Xiaoding thought for a moment and said, "Our dormitory has four people. One is from Beijing, one is from the Northeast, and the other is from Tibet."

Ye Zhi: "Besides your roommates, you don't have any other friends?"

Ye Zhi knew about these roommates when she was communicating with him. She also met them when she was having dinner in the cafeteria just now and got to know them briefly.

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoding replied seriously: "In addition to my roommate, there are two classmates in the laboratory. One is from the Computer Department and the other is from the Aeronautical Engineering Department." Then Ye Xiaoding said their names and hometowns.

Ye Zhi and Lu Wei looked at each other and asked, "Don't you know any female classmates?"

Ye Xiaoding didn't even think about it and shook his head: "No."

Lu Wei was bumped on the arm by Ye Zhi, then he cleared his throat and said, "No matter how busy you are with your studies, you have to make some friends."

Ye Xiaoding was a little confused, but still responded: "I have friends, they are annoying, always like to take me out to play, but I am very busy with laboratory work, I want to focus on the project."

Ye Zhi: “…”

Well, it’s probably because Lu Wei took care of the child for too long in the past, so he’s a little slow in terms of emotions.

Then, Ye Xiaoding added: "But if uncle and aunt come to see me, I will play with you no matter how busy I am."

Ye Zhi was overjoyed by Ye Xiaoding's words, and she no longer asked about his making friends. She smiled and said, "It can be said that my aunt has not loved you in vain over the years."

Ye Xiaoding nodded: "Of course."

To him, Ye Zhi and Lu Wei are like his parents. Although they are not closely related by blood, he would not be who he is today if it were not for them.

When returning to Siheyuan from Ye Xiaoding's school, Lu Wei happened to have scheduled a dinner with the Air Force, so he asked someone to send Ye Zhi back to Siheyuan first.

As soon as she got off the car and walked in, she met Aunt Huang's daughter, He Xiaomin, Lu Wei's childhood playmate, at the intersection of the alley.

Although Huang Erdi had ridiculed Ye Zhi before, He Xiaomin's attitude that day was still acceptable and she did not say anything hurtful.

So when He Xiaomin greeted her, Ye Zhi also responded with a smile.

Just when Ye Zhi thought that they were just nodding and saying hello and would not talk anymore, He Xiaomin suddenly called her and said, "Comrade Ye, please wait a moment. I have something to ask you."

As he spoke, He Xiaomin trotted over.

Ye Zhi saw the dress the other person was wearing at a glance. If she was not mistaken, it was the one her clothing factory had previously supplied to the department store.

He Xiaomin is not very pretty, but she is tall, so the dress looks pretty good on her.

Ye Zhi asked, "Comrade He, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Ye Zhi had never talked to her before, but she heard Lu Wei introduce her when they visited each other during the Chinese New Year. Ye Zhi knew that she was an educated youth who had returned to the city and was now a director in a state-owned factory.

He Xiaomin looked around and smiled at Ye Zhi, "Excuse me for bothering you. I bought a skirt at the department store a while ago. Look, it's the one I'm wearing. Is this from your clothing factory?"

He Xiaomin had seen Zhao Xiaomin wearing this skirt long before it was on the market. At that time, she asked Zhao Xiaomin where she bought it. Zhao Xiaomin did not hide it and said that Ye Zhi gave it to her. She also told her in advance when the skirt would be on the market in the department store.

That's why she managed to grab one. Every time she wore it back to the factory, many people would ask her where she bought it, how much it cost, etc. They were obviously very interested in the dress she was wearing.

At those times, He Xiaomin's desire to become a self-employed person became stronger, and even her husband began to waver and wanted to leave the state-owned factory.

Although Ye Zhi didn't know what He Xiaomin's intention was, she still nodded politely: "Well, yes."

He Xiaomin looked around and asked Ye Zhi politely, "Can we talk to the side?"

Ye Zhi nodded: "Okay."

Then, He Xiaomin told Ye Zhi that she wanted to take some clothes from her and sell them herself, and said that the reward would definitely not be low, and her tone was very sincere.

After hearing what He Xiaomin said, Ye Zhi said apologetically, "Comrade He, I'm so sorry. I just signed a contract with the department store two days ago. Our clothing factory's clothes are only provided to the department store within Beijing."

After saying that, He Xiaomin's expression instantly drooped, and she asked unwillingly, "Can't you really sell some to me?"

Ye Zhi gave an apologetic smile: "Sorry."

He Xiaomin: "Well, if that's the case, there's nothing we can do."

As soon as Ye Zhi left, when He Xiaomin was about to enter her mother's courtyard, she saw Huang Erdi standing behind the gate and eavesdropping.

Huang Erdi stretched out her hand and twisted He Xiaomin's ear, scolding her fiercely: "You unfilial daughter! If you dare to be a disgraceful middleman, you will never recognize me as your mother again!"

Huang Erdi never thought that her own daughter would actually want to be the middleman she despised the most. The anger that had been pent up in her heart for two days was now vented all at once. She happened to overhear the conversation between her daughter and Ye Zhi, and she exploded all of a sudden.

He Xiaomin thought her mother would not come home so early, but she was overheard. She just let it go and said, "Mom, what's wrong with me wanting to make money? You are getting old and confused! The organization is encouraging everyone to be self-reliant..."

…

Before Ye Zhi reached the courtyard, she heard bursts of wailing coming from Huang Erdi's yard. Just when she wanted to look back, He Xiaomin was pushed out by Huang Erdi, cursing at her with very unpleasant words.

He Xiaomin said nothing and walked away with a dejected look on her face.

Ye Zhi didn't want to care about other people's affairs, so she walked into the courtyard and planned to prepare dinner early. This schedule was tight and she would leave for Yangcheng tomorrow.

Time flies, and soon it is Ye Zhi's graduation season.

It was already extremely hot in Guangzhou in June, and people on the streets were all wearing skirts and short-sleeved shirts.

Lesbians' skirts have also become more fashionable. In the past, most skirts would reach the calves or ankles, but now many are knee-length, which looks a lot cooler.

Ye Zhi's graduating class was a special one because the resumption of the college entrance examination came suddenly and they studied for half a year longer than others.

Although not many students were admitted in the year when the college entrance examination was resumed, there were still quite a few students in the two classes combined.

On the day of graduation, the school organized a graduation photo shoot for everyone, and Ye Zhi's family also came.

In addition to the children, her parents and Ana Shen also took leave to come here. Shen Nanzhen's transfer order has also come down, and she will be transferred back to the military hospital in Beijing in October.

The season of graduation is the season of separation, and Ye Zhi feels it deeply.

Fang Meijuan looked at the many family members who came to Ye Zhi's house and said enviously, "Ye Zhi, you are lucky. So many family members came to take graduation photos with you. My parents vomited a lot on the train and refused to come no matter what I said."

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "Aren't your brother and sister-in-law here? Be content. Transportation is not easy, and aren't you planning to go back to southern Fujian? You will be able to see your parents soon."

Fang Meijuan smiled and said, "That's right. Okay, I want to take pictures with your two daughters. They are so cute!"

In the past few years, Fang Meijuan would go to Ye Zhi's family compound from time to time to play with the children. Pingping and Anan also liked her very much, so during graduation, Fang Meijuan wanted to take many photos with them as a souvenir.

Otherwise, when Ye Zhi goes back to Qiongzhou Island and she goes back to southern Fujian, it’s unknown how long they will not be able to meet.

When Ping Ping and An An heard Fang Meijuan say she wanted to take a photo with them, they took the initiative to hold her hand and said, "Sister, I want to take a photo with you too!"

Fang Meijuan smiled and said, "Come on, let's take more pictures."

Because Ye Zhi had a camera, Lu Wei also specially prepared five rolls of film in advance, so he didn't have to worry about not having enough films.

After taking pictures of Fang Meijuan, Ye Zhi was dragged by her mother and father to the front of the teaching building to take a few more pictures. Then, she took pictures in many corners of the campus with several roommates who had shared the same dormitory for four years. After taking a group of photos with relatives and friends, Ye Zhi was called by other classmates in the school to take rounds of photos.

After half a day, Ye Zhi was exhausted and hot.

Just as she was about to take a break, Lu Xingyun said to Ye Zhi, "Mom, you haven't taken a photo with Dad alone yet!"

Lu Xingzhou also said: "Mom, why don't we take the photo for you!"

The two little guys have wanted to play with the camera for a long time, and now they finally got the chance.

Ye Zhi looked at Lu Wei. He was not wearing a military uniform today, so he looked less serious. Originally, he was planning to be responsible for taking photos for everyone today, but after the child said that, Lu Wei started to look unhappy.

When Ye Zhi saw that her husband looked unhappy, she quickly said to Lu Xingyun, "Come on, son, help me take a few photos with your father. I haven't taken photos with Deputy Chief of Staff Lu yet. Come on, come on!"

After hearing this, Lu Weiyi's expression eased a little. He gave the camera to Lu Xingyun and Lu Xingzhou, and taught them how to take pictures for a while. Then he walked to Ye Zhi's side and squeezed her palm: "You have no conscience, you never thought about taking a picture with me, right?"

Ye Zhi muttered, "It's unfair. There are so many people here and it's so hot. I'm dying of thirst."

Lu Wei glanced at her and found that the fine hair on her forehead was slightly soaked with sweat, so he said, "There is still water in the kettle, drink some later."

Ye Zhi smiled and nodded: "Thank you for taking photos today, brother Wei. After the graduation ceremony, I will treat you to steak."

Lu Wei smiled dotingly, tidied her hair, and said, "Okay, I'll remember that."

Lu Xingyun and Lu Xingzhou fiddled with the camera and said to Ye Zhi and Lu Wei, "Mom and Dad, come closer and hug me like you do at home..."

"If you don't want to hug, you can also kiss each other."

Ye Zhi: “…”

"It's so embarrassing, what are these two guys talking about!"

Lu Wei smiled, put his arm around Ye Zhi's shoulders, and asked the two kids fiddling with the camera, "Is this okay?"

Lu Xingyun nodded: "Okay, okay, don't move, we will shoot you now."

Ye Zhi looked at her two sons' postures and whispered to Lu Wei, "Why do I have a bad feeling? Is your son going to cause trouble again?"

Lu Wei tightened his grip around Ye Zhi's shoulders, "No, they have already mastered the technique. Isn't it just pressing a button? If they can't even do this, what's the point of having them!"

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "That's hard to say. Your two sons always surprise people."

Lu Wei: "Isn't he your son too?"

Lu Wei listened to the camera making a few consecutive "click" sounds, and then Lu Xingyun said: "Okay! Xingzhou and I have taken a lot of photos for you!"

Because the camera did not have the function of viewing the film, Lu Wei and Ye Zhi were not sure whether the child was photographed well. However, soon someone came to her to sign, so they did not care about that.

After filming for most of the day, just when everyone was discussing going out for a big meal, Ye Zhi saw Ye Zhenhua and Gong Yuqiong walking in from the school gate holding Li Desheng.

Gong Yuqiong walked over first, greeted the elders, and then said to Ye Zhi with a smile: "Xiaozhi, congratulations on finally graduating."

Li Desheng was holding a large box in his arms, and he handed it to Ye Zhi, saying, "Auntie, this is your graduation gift. Mommy and I picked it out together."

Ye Zhi took the big box handed to her by Li Desheng, hugged Li Desheng with emotion, and said, "Thank you."

Then, Ye Zhi looked at Gong Yuqiong and said, "Isn't it just graduation? Why did you come here specially?"

Although she was very touched, Ye Zhi knew that Gong Yuqiong was busy with several real estate projects, and she was really touched that she still came to Yangcheng specially.

Gong Yuqiong smiled and said, "What kind of relationship do we have? Besides, you are my good college friend, so you must come."

Ye Zhi smiled and took Gong Yuqiong's arm, "Thank you, then let's go take some pictures!"

Then Ye Zhi said to Lu Wei: "Lu Wei, take some photos for me, Sister Yuqiong, and Third Brother!"

So, Ye Zhi started another round of graduation photo taking.

After taking a round of photos, everyone was hungry, so after some discussion, they decided to go to the most luxurious restaurant in the city for a buffet.

Just as Ye Zhi and his group were leaving Z University, two figures on the school road were watching them.

Meng Yunyun, who was beside Gao Wenbo, said, "Wenbo, did you see that woman in the white short skirt suit? She is a famous real estate developer in Hong Kong, her name is Gong Yuqiong. You should find a way to get close to her. After you graduate, she can help you with your work."

Gao Wenbo opened his mouth slightly and asked, "Does this matter?"

Gao Wenbo had actually always planned to go back to the Infrastructure Bureau to work, but with the rise of many self-employed individuals in the past two years, he became a little hesitant.

And it just so happened that Ye Hongying asked him for 50,000 yuan in compensation, so he wanted to make more money.

For no other reason, ever since Meng Yunyun came back, he has been thinking about his family living a good life.

Meng Yunyun said, "Just do as I say. Don't worry, Wenbo, I won't hurt you. I also want our family to live a good life."

Gao Wenbo nodded: "I know."
