In order to stay a little longer, Li Shaozhong turned off the lights in the room, fearing that it would arouse other people's suspicion. The two of them sat on the bed, leaning against each other, and talked quietly.

Li Shaozhong felt the atmosphere was warm and intimate. He really wished time would stop and daybreak would not come.

Ye Shuning said: "Jingyu is so obedient. It really makes people feel distressed and lovable that such a young child is so sensible. With him by my side, I don't feel lonely anymore.

I might graduate early next year and go on to graduate school. When I save more money, I'll build a textile mill. Maybe a chemical plant in the future. Although making movies is lucrative, I still prefer manufacturing.

When the mainland opens up in the future, I will come back to invest and build a factory. I want to develop products that are more advanced than those abroad."

Ye Shuning leaned in Li Shaozhong's arms and talked about her future plans. Li Shaozhong was also proud of his little fiancée.

Li Shaozhong stroked his young fiancée's silky long hair and said softly, "Do whatever you want. Although I can't support you by your side, I will support you mentally. When you come back, we will work hard together."

The two chatted for a long time, and when it was almost dawn, Li Shaozhong had to leave. He couldn't let a moment of negligence cause trouble for either of them. They still had a long way to go, and there was still a lot of time to come.

As long as he was sure of Ye Shuning's feelings, as long as her heart was still with him, he was not afraid of anything. They had made a hundred-year agreement, and his confidence was doubled. He also had to quickly inform his father-in-law and try to get them to meet.

Ye Shuning packed the things she had prepared into a backpack and asked Li Shaozhong to carry it back, telling him that the backpack contained things she had bought for him and his father.

Li Shaozhong kissed his young fiancée vigorously before reluctantly leaving through the window. Seeing him disappear into the darkness, Ye Shuning closed the window and quickly went to bed to catch some sleep, otherwise it would be dawn soon.

Although she was very excited, she still forced herself to rest. There was still a lot to do when the sun came up.

Li Shaozhong rode his bicycle home in the dark, changed his clothes, which were soiled from climbing up and down, and then lay down on the bed. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all. He felt that God was very kind to him. Not only did he meet Ye Shuning before his father-in-law shortly after arriving here, but the relationship between the two of them also became stronger.

He believed in Ye Shuning's character. As long as she promised herself, she would definitely keep her promise.

Besides, she is so outstanding that she will never be fooled by Qin Zongye.

He wondered if he would have the opportunity to visit Nangang in the future. He worked in the foreign trade department in Zhuzhou and was sure to discuss cooperation with some of the merchants in Nangang, as the mainland imported and exported a lot of goods from Nangang every year.

Could he ask the Ling family for help? Perhaps they could send a representative to Nangang. Li Shaozhong thought more and more that this idea was feasible.

He can contact Ling Xuan in the next few days and maybe ask the Ling family for help. Solutions are thought up by people, so even if there is no opportunity, he has to create one.

Even if he could meet Ye Shuning once a year, it would help ease his homesickness.

The next morning, Li Shaozhong called his father-in-law and said, "Uncle Ye, someone is coming to my house. Can you come over and join us?"

This was the code word that Ye Xingguo and Li Shaozhong had agreed upon beforehand. Ye Xingguo's heartbeat quickened when he heard Li Shaozhong say this on the phone. He asked, "Is everyone in your family okay?"

Li Shaozhong replied, "They are all fine. Please come quickly."

At this time, Ye Xingguo was completely sure that Li Shaozhong had a daughter. This kid was really lucky.

He said briskly on the phone: "I'll be there today."

After hanging up the phone, Li Shaozhong went to work, and Ye Xingguo also took leave to come and see Li Shaozhong.

In the morning, Ling Xuan secretly asked Ye Shuning, "Sister Xiaoning, did Third Brother Li come to see you again after he went back yesterday?"

Ye Shuning nodded and said, "I'm here. We've met privately and explained our situations to each other. At least that puts their minds at ease."

The purpose of this trip was achieved, and Ling Xuan was very happy. "That's great. I didn't expect our trip to the mainland to be so smooth, and we met Brother Li San right away. Now Uncle Ye can also know about you. But you must not have had a good rest last night, do you want to rest in your room today?"

Ye Shuning shook her head and said, "No need for that. Since I'm here as Secretary Li, I have to fulfill my duties as a secretary. It's no problem for me to follow you."

Ye Xingguo drove himself to find Li Shaozhong. They were not far away, so he went directly to Li Shaozhong's workplace to find him.

Meanwhile, Ling's people were also discussing matters at the Foreign Trade Bureau, and Li Shaozhong was naturally involved in the entire process. He also wanted to take the opportunity to see more of Ye Shuning.

There happened to be a comrade-in-arms of Ye Xingguo in the Foreign Trade Bureau. This comrade-in-arms was from Zhuzhou. After he was demobilized, he returned to his hometown to work and now happens to work in the Foreign Trade Bureau.

Since Ye Xingguo couldn't see Li Shaozhong for the time being, he went to find his comrade-in-arms Fang Yi and asked him about it.

Fang Yi also knew that Li Shaozhong was Ye Xingguo's son-in-law, and he was also heartbroken about the disappearance of his old comrade's daughter.

Fang Yi poured Ye Xingguo a cup of tea and said, "Old Ye, you've been like a ghost here. I can't even find you for a drink."

Ye Xingguo shook his head and smiled, "I just arrived here and haven't sorted things out yet, so I'm a bit busy. I came here to see Li Shaozhong today. Does he have anything to do today?"

Fang Yi sat on the sofa nearby and said, "People from Ling's Enterprise in Nangang have arrived. Li Shaozhong wants to participate in the negotiations. They are currently discussing it in the conference room. I guess you'll have to wait a while."

When Ye Xingguo heard that Li Shaozhong was negotiating with the Ling family members who came from Nangang, he felt excited and expectant.

Li Shaozhong had heard in coded language on the phone that his daughter had returned, but he couldn't believe it. Now, hearing that someone from Ling's Enterprise had arrived, he felt a surge of hope. Perhaps his daughter had already established herself in Nangang, had contacted the Ling family, and was being helped back to the mainland by them?

Ye Xingguo calmed himself down and said, "It's said that the Ling family is very influential in Nangang. Are there many people coming this time?"

Fang Yi said, "There are four people in total. The father and son from the Ling family's main branch are here, and it's always the people from the main branch who have been in contact with us. There's also an assistant and a female secretary who came with them."

When Ye Xingguo heard from his comrades that the only person who came to Ling's company this time was a female secretary named Li who was in her thirties, he was a little disappointed. Could this female secretary that his comrades were talking about be his daughter?

No matter what, he had to see the person first. He believed that Li Shaozhong would not pass on false information to him.

Ye Xingguo was waiting for Li Shaozhong at his comrades' place. He told Fang Yi to go ahead and do whatever he wanted and not to worry about him.

Fang Yi also had something to do, so he left Ye Xingguo in his office and went to do his work.
