Lying in bed alone at night, I'm really not used to it. I didn't sleep all afternoon, and although I'm quite sleepy now, I just can't fall asleep.

There's no other way but to keep writing the script.

Zhang Shouyi got home at ten o'clock, assuming his wife would have been asleep long ago, but the study light was still on.

"Brother Zhang, you're finally back. I'll go cook for you."

"No need, I've already eaten, honey. Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I'm the only one who can't sleep."

"Hehe, I'm really honored. Honey, I'm going to take a shower first, and I'll warm your bed when I get back."

The next day, Zhang Shouyi went to work at seven o'clock in the morning. Zhang Hongmei was still sleeping, and no one disturbed her.

Aunt Li also knew that Zhang Hongmei was pregnant, and immediately did everything she could to help Zhang Hongmei get proper nourishment.

However, at noon, Xiao Li brought back two women who looked to be around fifty years old.

She was a very capable midwife, and she was very good at taking care of pregnant women.

After arranging their accommodations, Aunt Li immediately started chatting with them.

Having given birth myself, I have some understanding of pregnant women.

Listening to what others had to say, I realized there were many things I hadn't said correctly, and I felt a little scared. Luckily, I hadn't tried to do everything myself and had listened to the professionals. I just took on the role of an assistant.

The two were quite efficient; perhaps because they had worked together before, one was in charge of Zhang Hongmei's meals, and the other was in charge of her nourishing soups.

Zhang Hongmei didn't mind the soups and broths; she readily picked up the bowl and drank them.

This put both of them at ease. The worst thing is when someone doesn't cooperate; otherwise, all your skills will be wasted.

Two days later, everyone recovered and was in high spirits. Han Mei has no work assigned to her, so she has been staying at home.

"Han Mei, you and Uncle Li go take a look at the newly bought house and find someone to renovate it. Also, tell Wang Ying to go with you and let her choose first."

With all these arrangements made, Zhang Hongmei felt completely at ease. Everything else was taken care of, so she could focus on her pregnancy and, if she had the energy, write scripts and design games.

Wang Ying came over the next day. "Hongmei, I chose the smaller one. I think it's closer to you."

"Okay, whatever you like is fine."

"Hongmei, why are you back so soon?"

"I'm pregnant, and it's not convenient for me to be anywhere. I'd better come back!"

"Pregnant? That's wonderful. The old commander must be extremely happy."

"Yes, Grandpa is very happy."

Has Zeng Zhongkang returned?

"No, I live alone. I'm moving back today."

"Sure, there's a room for you here too. You don't need to tell me that."

"Hehe, I didn't mean that, okay? I just said it casually."

"Hongmei, I've already set up the service company. Following your advice, I've hired mostly middle-aged women."

"Don't rush that. Right now, we can focus on finding houses for sale and rent, as well as job opportunities."

"I understand. I will pay more attention to these things and contact the factory as well."

"Yes, our underwear factory can register for jobs there."

"Understood, we shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders."

Zhang Hongmei burst into laughter after hearing this. It really was true.

Cheng Guangxu and Cai Peilin returned, only to greet Zhang Hongmei before rushing off to the research institute to report for duty. Zhang Hongmei didn't even have time to introduce them to Er Ya.

Time flies. When Zhang Hongmei received Liu Aimin's call, she was still in a daze; a month had already passed. It felt like only a few days had gone by.

Zhang Hongmei is now more than two months pregnant. Thanks to the care of professionals, she looks rosy and healthy.

Zhang Shouyi was very satisfied. Now he comes home promptly at eight o'clock every night, never working overtime. Even if he has important documents, he brings them home. At least this way he can spend more time with his wife.

Liu Jingze would come over to stay every Saturday and Sunday without any hesitation, and he would always bring back some delicious food and fun things for Zhang Hongmei. Of course, the food ended up in Liu Jingsong's mouth.

December is almost here, and Zhang Hongmei is looking forward to it. Although she can't personally prepare the New Year's goods, she still thinks the New Year is great.

"Heh, that's because you're young. If you were our age, you'd be afraid of getting a year older by the New Year." Zhang Hongmei laughed heartily after hearing Aunt Li's words. Every woman cares about her age.

Zhang Shouyi has been busy again lately. It's mostly summary meetings, and although many of them aren't entirely satisfactory, he never brings work-related emotions home once he gets there.

Even if Zhang Hongmei knew, she wouldn't ask. She couldn't help anyway, and asking would be pointless. She would just tell Zhang Shouyi that if he needed money, there was plenty in the ring.

The only thing that made Zhang Shouyi happy was that these foreign factories all paid taxes, and the amounts were not small.

The people below also realized this, so they all began to pay attention to it.

Zhang Hongmei's situation is also quite good; she bought three houses, and her service company is increasingly gaining recognition from everyone.

The underwear factory was still making money, and the Southern Underwear Factory was almost completed. Liang Dan had called several times to report on the progress.

Lu Xing was the busiest, as she was in charge of all the project accounts, and the young girl did a very good job.

On the day of Laba Festival, after Zhang Hongmei finished breakfast and strolled around the yard, she had just returned to her study when Uncle Li came over.

"Hongmei, we have three guests at home, all of them foreigners."

Zhang Hongmei wondered if Peter had come over. Judging by the time, Roger should have returned by now.

"Please let them in."

Zhang Hongmei is still working on games on the computer. She's finished two now. This one will be finished soon too.

Uncle Li knocked and came in. Zhang Hongmei glanced up casually, paused for a moment when she saw the person outside, then immediately stood up. "Welcome, welcome!"

"Zhang Hongmei, I've come to your country this time."

"That's great, maybe you'll even fall in love with this place, Wyattroy."

Zhang Hongmei walked up to them, and Carlos looked greedily at the girl in front of him; she was getting more and more beautiful.

"Welcome, Carlos."

"Hongmei, I'm here."

"Please have a seat. Uncle Li, go make some tea."

"Miss, there are many things in the car for you. I'll go and move them." Roger was very perceptive. The three big shots had something to discuss, and it was very inappropriate for him, an outsider and subordinate, to be there.

"Uncle Li asked Aunt Li to cook her specialty dish today, because I need to entertain the guests."

"Zhang Hongmei, your house is really beautiful."

"Right, you two are staying here for a few days. As the host, I have to do my best to be a good host."

"That's right, I came here specifically for the food."

"Wyatt, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
