Pick up Huang Meihua's letter; the entire letter is about Daniel and Annie's situation.

Now that the McCann family finally has an heir, Huang Meihua is focusing all her attention on her child.

Watching my child grow up after I left is truly fascinating.

Beth's letter was about the investment, mainly telling Zhang Hongmei not to let emotions cloud her judgment and to handle things strictly by business.

His intention was to enter the electronics industry. Two electrical engineers accompanied Carlos this time, bringing with them mature design drawings for washing machines and televisions.

Zhang Hongmei understood what Bass meant. This was something she could handle herself. She would definitely give her full support if Bass wanted to build an electronics factory.

This needs to be a joint venture with the state; I'll talk to Carlos about it separately when I have time.

Zhao Tiancheng's letter was much simpler; it simply told Zhang Hongmei that she was in full charge of the textile factory here.

This attempt to shift blame is even more thorough than taking it personally.

I picked up Zhao Haozheng's letter, the thickest one. It was also in an envelope the size of a document; I guessed it was a financial report for the recent period.

I read the letter first. It described the situation of each company over this period, and everything was going very well. It also mentioned that he had kept his own share of the profits and gave his subordinates a year-end bonus of two months' salary.

Zhang Hongmei was quite satisfied with Zhao Hao's actions. If you want people to work hard for you, then you have to show your sincerity. Two months' salary sounds like a lot, but compared to the value they create, it's just a drop in the ocean. It's nothing at all.

Upon hearing the knock on the door, it turned out to be Uncle Li bringing Roger over.

"Miss, this is your bag. Zhao Hao is giving it to you."

"Thank you very much. Uncle Li has already arranged a room for you. Go and rest. We'll let you know when it's time to eat."

Zhang Hongmei knew that this was her share of the profits for the past six months.

I picked up the last letter, written by Kong Yushun. It was about their lives and studies, but it wasn't very detailed, and there wasn't much useful information in it.

Since it was Carlos and his group who were going back, they felt embarrassed to ask them to take the message home.

After reading everyone's letters, Zhang Hongmei felt a little hungry, and at that moment, a nourishing soup was brought over.

Put away everything you consider important. I feel like I should go check on the kitchen.

The snow in the yard has been shoveled away, so there's no worry about the road being slippery.

The kitchen was steaming, and Aunt Li and two others were busy at work. Seeing Zhang Hongmei enter, Aunt Li immediately put down what she was doing.

"Everything is ready. The three of us will make sixteen dishes. There are only four people here, so it will definitely be enough."

"Okay, you can decide what to prepare. I'll ask Uncle Li to check what good dishes are available this afternoon. There will probably be a lot of people at home this morning."

Zhang Hongmei's idea was to call Liu Jingze over. Firstly, she could trust him; secondly, his foreign language skills were quite good; and thirdly, he had experience cooperating with foreign businessmen.

Let him stay with Carlos and Wyatt so you can rest assured; some things can be said clearly.

If it were someone else, they really couldn't talk about things that happened in private.

"Aunt Li, what time do we eat?"

"How about 11:30?"

"Okay, then you go ahead with your work."

Zhang Hongmei went to see Gu Chuanming again. The old man has now taken to writing calligraphy, as he comes from a scholarly family. Although he hadn't had the opportunity to practice calligraphy for many years due to his travels, he now spends several hours a day in his study.

"Grandpa, our friends from the US are here. Let's have lunch together in a bit."

"They came, but I couldn't understand what they were saying."

"Hehe, I'll be your translator."

Zhang Hongmei then went to inform Zhang Xingguo. The old man now plays chess by himself; there's simply no one to play with him. Only Liu Jingsong has a chess partner after school each day. She returned to her study and called Zhang Shouyi.

This was a private line, so Zhang Shouyi answered it without hesitation.

"Wife, what's wrong?" Zhang Hongmei rarely called him, so he was a little anxious.

"Brother Zhang, it's alright. It's just that Carlos and Wyatt have come over. They're at our house now."

"I'm going home for lunch."

"Brother Zhang, if you're busy, you don't need to come back."

By the way, these people who came here are planning to build a factory. Is Liu Jingze in charge again this time?

"Sure, he's very skilled at it."

"Then I'll call him and ask him to come over at noon."

"Sure. I'll leave at eleven." What a joke! These are all former rivals in love; now that three of them are here, how can I not show up?

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home."

Zhang Hongmei dialed the number Liu Jingze had left behind, and a girl answered.

"Comrade, please help me get Liu Jingze to answer the phone."

Who are you?

"I am Zhang Hongmei."

"Hold on!"

"Hongmei, what's wrong?"

"Jingze, please take the afternoon off and come home for lunch. Something's come up!"

"Okay, I'll go now."

Zhang Hongmei called Wang Ying again, saying that Zeng Zhongkang and the other two couldn't come out. She wondered if they would be able to see their friends.

Back in the study, I continued working on the game's ending. This time, Wyatt came in person, so it would be safer to take these back with me.

I doubt they'll stay for long. I'd better hurry up and finish preparing the script and the game.

It was finished at 11:00 AM. After saving it, I shut down the computer.

Liu Jingze arrived very quickly.

“Brother Jingze, I’ll take you to meet two friends. They are my business partners abroad.”

"Hongmei, you'd better not move. You'll see her soon enough."

After thinking about it, Zhang Hongmei decided to take this opportunity to explain things to Liu Jingze.

"Brother Jingze, it's like this. The three of us are also planning to build factories back in China. We'll be making computers. The McCann family wants to make home appliances. As for the Roy family, I'm not sure what they're thinking yet."

I called you here today because this project still needs to be entrusted to you. I don't trust anyone else.

"Understood. I'll arrange it. Where is the factory located? Is Haishi suitable?"

"That's what I was thinking too. Let's go to Haishi. Come on, let's pick them up and take them to the dining room, dinner is about to start."

Liu Jingze wanted to spend more time alone with Zhang Hongmei. But the girl had already walked over. The two walked side by side towards the back.

Liu Jingze was very careful, afraid that something might happen, and kept watching his step.

Carlos and Wyatt had already gotten ready, changed their clothes, and were lying in bed.

It was really comfortable, and the two of them were starting to feel sleepy. But it was time for dinner soon. With no other option, they pulled out their plans together; it was better than being woken up right after falling asleep.

Zhang Hongmei knocked on Wyatt's door. "Young Master Roy, dinner will be served soon, let's go to the front."
