In the end, Zhang Hongmei took the initiative to tell them to go ahead with their work, as she needed to sleep and had to go to school the next day, thus ending the conversation.

Zhang Hongmei didn't leave the space; she went out after waking up from a nap. There were still sounds downstairs; everyone was probably missing their loved ones. It was all her fault; why did she make others unhappy?

I was lying in bed reading, with no intention of getting up. I felt quite embarrassed; although I'm small in stature, I'm mentally very old! How could I do something so childish?

I poured myself a glass of water and drank it, forcing myself to calm down. I had to work hard so I could get back as soon as possible.

No one disturbed Zhang Hongmei. After the mooncakes were baked, Zhao Hao was about to call her, but Wang Xinyi stopped him.

"Don't go. That girl is shy. After what happened just now, she'll probably be too embarrassed to come down. Don't call her anymore; she's probably asleep by now. Let's all eat a mooncake and go to sleep."

The next day was the same as usual, and everyone's expressions remained unchanged.

Zhang Hongmei entered the classroom, and Wyattroy, who hadn't appeared for several days, was actually sitting in his seat, looking at her and smiling.

"Zhang Hongmei, let's talk at noon today!"

"Yeah, still in the cafeteria."

“Okay.” Roy smiled at Zhang Hongmei, who was already getting a little excited.

"What are you looking at? Look again and I'll punch you!"

Roy paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

At noon in the cafeteria, Luo Yi sat opposite Zhang Hongmei, still with that same smiling face.

"Speak, what is it?"

Roy casually pulled a piece of paper from his shirt pocket and handed it to Zhang Hongmei.

"These are my requirements; please take a look."

Zhang Hongmei took it and glanced at it. She put away her nonchalant attitude and now admired the person from the bottom of her heart.

“Wyattroy, may I ask if this was your idea, or was it drafted by your team?”

"What I mean is, they're just rambling on and on without getting to the point. Let me tell you, if they all agree to my request, I'll immediately send people over, or I'll go myself, bringing all the technology and some technical staff with me."

Zhang Hongmei took the paper and read it word by word, ignoring Luo Yi's rambling.

He put down the paper, looked up and stared directly at Roy. "I can accept about 70% of your conditions." After saying that, he took out a pen from his bag and marked three lines.

“If you can cancel these three conditions, we can begin formal negotiations.” He then handed the document to Roy.

Roy didn't answer; he already knew which points Zhang Hongmei had circled. He held Zhang Hongmei in high regard. He hadn't expected such a young girl to be so adept at picking out hidden inequalities.

Roy crossed his arms and braced himself on the table. "Zhang Hongmei, you're too harsh. Don't say my demands are unreasonable; you should at least put yourself in my shoes."

“Wyattroy, my position is very clear. Think about it again. Our country isn’t as terrifying as you think. Also, I personally cannot participate in this project. This is an action between you and our country. What are you worried about?”

You can call me Wyatt.

“Okay, Wyatt.”

"Okay, I'll take your opinion into consideration. But if I make concessions, you have to make concessions too; you have to be involved in this project from start to finish."

"Hehe, you think I can create clones? I don't have time to keep up. But I can find you the most reliable person."

"oh?"

“My loved one. He can absolutely put your mind at ease. He can help you resolve any problems that arise in our country, of course, in a reasonable way.”

"Zhang Hongmei, should I believe you?"

"Hehe, Wyatt, I don't know either, but I assure you, I'm sincere about everything I've said to you. Although we have different starting points, we'll have common goals in the future, and I believe we can definitely achieve a win-win situation."

"Hehe, Zhang Hongmei, you've convinced me. So I'll seriously consider this today. You should treat me to dinner tomorrow, right?"

"No problem. It's just that I have a lot of people in my family, so please don't mind." That was a really fast response.

"Hehe, how could that be? I want to eat a dish you made yourself, as a way to show your sincerity in thanking me."

"No problem, but I don't know if you can handle spicy food?"

"Can."

"Then let's meet at my place tomorrow night, you know the address, right?"

"Hehe. Of course I know. I'll be there on time at 6:30."

"Okay, but I will still meet with other manufacturers tonight, as it was arranged a long time ago."

"Haha. Zhang Hongmei, I'm really looking forward to working with you. Don't worry, they don't have my strength."

The two ended their brief conversation very pleasantly. Zeng Zhongkang only went over to order food for Zhang Hongmei after seeing her approach.

"Hongmei, how did it go? Did you reach an agreement?"

“No, take a look at his terms.” Zhang Hongmei handed the paper to Cheng Guangxu.

Cheng Guangxu could understand 90% of the paper, and after reading it, he handed it to Zhang Hongmei.

“Hongmei, I don’t see anything wrong with it, but I think his request is a bit excessive. Why should he take the lion’s share?”

Zhang Hongmei just smiled and didn't say anything. If she hadn't had a few years of work experience in her previous life, she would have ended up like Cheng Guangxu.

Now, when Zeng Zhongkang gets food for Zhang Hongmei, he no longer asks her for coffee, and instead gives her milk.

"We need to hurry home after school, I'm going out tonight."

“I’ll go with them,” Zeng Zhongkang stated his position.

“Alright, go ahead. Mr. Zhao has arranged the gathering at his house.” Zeng Zhongkang nodded after hearing this. One of his tasks was to protect Zhang Hongmei, and he was entrusted by three parties. Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, he was willing to stay by her side and protect her.

The other two didn't speak, knowing that Zhang Hongmei had something to do, and that they were just students who couldn't help and were even afraid of being a burden.

The four of them arrived home five minutes faster than usual. Zhao Hao was already waiting at home.

"Zhang Hongmei, are you going like this? Without changing your clothes?"

Zhang Hongmei paused for a moment, realizing she had indeed overlooked this issue, then nodded and went upstairs.

She changed into a long A-line skirt, a white shirt with simple lace trim on the cuffs and collar, a camel-colored coat, and a pair of black leather shoes.

My hair was simply tied up in a bun, but I wasn't satisfied with what I saw in the mirror. It looked like I was a little kid wearing adult clothes. It just didn't look right.

Finally, she simply changed out of her clothes, finding a pair of jeans, a pink t-shirt, tying her hair into a ponytail, and wearing a pair of white Feiyue sneakers.

Looking in the mirror now, hmm, I look very young. That's fine, otherwise, dressing up at this age would look out of place.
