Chapter 669 Intentions

"Really? Mom, do you really think so? You're really going to make me a toy?"

"Of course, Mom is still considering this project. Once she has a good idea, she will talk to your dad and Uncle Wyatt."

"That's great, Mom."

"Hehe, alright, it's time for our afternoon nap."

In the afternoon, Zhang Hongmei took Annie to the amusement park again, but this time she didn't play with the child. Instead, she carefully observed all the children and felt that the toy company was indeed feasible.

Two hours later, Annie finally got tired. The main reason was that Zhang Hongmei wasn't with her. She felt something was missing and it wasn't fun playing by herself.

Looking at her mother wiping her sweat, she said, "Mom, can I have a Coke? I'm really thirsty."

"No problem, let's wait for your Uncle Zeng to buy it for us. After all, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist the temptation and will want to eat fried chicken."

"Hehe, Mom, I really want to eat it, but I know I can only eat it again in two weeks."

"What a good child."

"Hongmei, you and your daughter wait here. I'll come back to find you after I buy the goods, and then we'll get on the bus."

The two of them, of course, had no objections. It must be incredibly cold inside the car; the temperature here was just right. Why would they be so foolish as to wait in the car?

By the time I got home, the city lights were already on. Dinner was just simple rice porridge and pickled vegetables. However, I did make sure to prepare dumplings for Zhao Haozheng and the other four, though they didn't get to eat any.

When Zeng Zhongkang brought Cheng Guangxu and the others back, Zhang Hongmei had already led Annie to have a full dinner.

"Annie, I'll take you back in a bit and then come back, but I'll definitely take you to school tomorrow morning."

"Why?"

"Hehe, because Mom has a bad habit, which is that she can't sleep if she changes places or beds. Mom also has to go to school tomorrow."

So I'm sorry, Annie, Mom broke her promise.

Anne shook her head but didn't say anything; she was definitely unhappy.

Zhang Hongmei rubbed Annie's head and said, "Mom broke her promise and must have hurt you. Please forgive Mom."

"Yes, I forgive you, Mom, but you must take me to school tomorrow."

"Don't worry, this mother will definitely not go back on her word."

Zeng Zhongkang finished his meal. He was still responsible for driving. When they arrived at the McCann family's house, he got out of the car, not wanting others to think he was impolite.

At that time, the family of three was having dinner. Once they learned that the mother and daughter had finished eating, they stopped paying attention.

Zhang Hongmei had agreed to help Carlos McCann set the password for his computer today, so she and Annie sat in the small living room waiting.

"Mom, can we watch some cartoons?"

"Of course, but it can't be for too long."

Zhang Hongmei watched Bugs Bunny with Annie. The cartoon was hilarious; Zhang Hongmei had seen it before and had to admit it was really well-made.

Neither of them checked the time. It was only after Zeng Zhongkang reminded them that Zhang Hongmei took Annie's hand and went to find the three important figures.

"Godfather and Godmother, I won't be staying here tonight. I have an idea that I need to sort out. But I'll come over early tomorrow morning for breakfast and to take Annie to school."

Beth McKen asked, “What ideas? Are they business-related? If so, maybe I can give you some advice that’s much better than what you want on your own.”

"Godfather, I want to release plush toys of the game characters right after the game is released. Actually, I mainly want to start a professional toy company."

"Oh? Why do you have this idea?"

"Initially, I just wanted to give Annie more toys, and this idea suddenly came to me."

"Okay, go and write a business plan. I think it's feasible." Beth was extremely satisfied. This goddaughter of hers had a good business sense and didn't have the guarded attitude that others had. She felt very comfortable with this.

"Hongmei, what happened to the password you promised me?"

"I've been waiting for you, haven't I? It won't be long."

“Then let’s go to my study,” Carlos said happily.

"Annie, would you like to play video games with Grandpa?"

"But this can't be played by two people at the same time."

"I'll watch you play and be your strategist."

"Mom, can you design some games for two people in the future?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll definitely design one for my Annie," Zhang Hongmei promised the little girl with a smile.

Huang Meihua stood up and took Zeng Zhongkang's hand, saying, "They're busy, you stay and chat with Auntie for a while."

Zeng Zhongkang had no choice but to go with Zhang Hongmei, since Huang Meihua was holding his hand and he couldn't shake her off.

Zhang Hongmei followed Carlos into his study. The room was very elegant; the style was likely designed by Huang Meihua.

"Hongmei, is your toy company planning to sell or produce toys?" Carlos poured Zhang Hongmei a cup of tea and handed it to her.

"It's a complete production line, mainly producing plush toys and plastic toys, but now we can also make cartoon characters." Zhang Hongmei took the teacup, placed it on the table, and didn't drink it, as she had already drunk a lot of water.

"Is it still Wyatt Roy with you?"

"Well, it's better to cooperate. I'd better set a password quickly, and we can talk about the rest after I've made a plan."

"OK."

"This password isn't foolproof; it's risky. I mean you'd better change it every now and then."

"Is this really necessary?"

"Of course, if you set a password because you have secrets on the computer that you don't want others to know, it's best to change it frequently."

"I understand, I will listen to your opinion."

Zhang Hongmei took ten minutes. "You can figure out the password yourself. It's six digits." She stood up and offered her seat to Carlos.

After he finished typing, Zhang Hongmei confirmed it, then shut down and restarted the computer.

"Alright, it's ready to use now. It's getting late, I need to go back."

Carlos really wanted to stay with Zhang Hongmei a little longer, but since she wanted to leave, he had no reason to stop her.

"Hongmei, if you come up with your plan, shall we invite Wyatt to your house and discuss it together?"

"But Godfather is still waiting to see the plan."

"Why don't we all go to your house together?"

"Okay, I've finished making it. I'll give you a call."

The two talked as they walked out of the study.

"Annie, Mom is going home. If you miss me, you can call me after seven o'clock. Also, I promise I won't be late tomorrow, so don't worry, just wait for me at home."

"Okay, Mom. Can I call you every day?"

"Of course." After saying goodbye to Huang Meihua and her husband, Zhang Hongmei left with Zeng Zhongkang.

Carlos saw Zhang Hongmei off to her car and watched her leave before reluctantly returning to the living room.
