In the evening, Li Shaoting came home from get off work and was very happy to see his brother back. "Did your trip go well this time?"

Li Shaozhong nodded. "It went pretty smoothly. This trip really broadened my horizons. We are indeed far behind."

Li Shaoting said, "Xiao Ning told you about the Haizhou Automobile Factory, right? What do you think?"

Li Shaozhong said, "Xiao Ning told me that I could stay at the Haizhou Automobile Factory for a while, mainly to understand the factory's situation and prepare for future negotiations, but I will definitely not participate in the work of the new factory after the joint venture. I want to engage in the research and development and production of automobile engines and other parts in the future. Then, we can gradually replace imported auto parts with our own domestic ones.

When our domestic auto parts industry reaches a certain level and the time is ripe, we will plan to build our own auto factory."

Li Shaoting looked at his brother and said, "Do you want to use this future joint venture car factory as a whetstone?"

Li Shaozhong smiled and said, "That's a bit of the point."

Li Shaoting shook his head and nodded at his brother. "You're quite bold. But your idea is indeed very tempting. Sooner or later, our country will have to embark on the path of independent innovation. But how can we make our development faster? We can only move forward by exploring."

As you said, if our country's auto parts industry improves, building our own auto factory won't be far behind. Perhaps by then, a flourishing economy will emerge. I'm really looking forward to it.

Go back and tell your dad about this idea and see what he thinks. I think your idea is great and I support you."

Li Shaozhong was delighted to hear his elder brother's support. "Don't worry, elder brother. I'm confident in what I've said. Even in negotiations, we won't be passive. Maybe the other party will be eager to cooperate with us."

When Li Shaoting heard what his brother meant, he knew that his brother must have a trump card in his hand, so he felt relieved.

That evening, Li Shaozhong called his father and told him what he wanted to do. Li Jianye also supported his younger son's idea and said, "I'll tell the higher-ups about your idea and see what they decide."

When Li Shaozhong came back, he went to take a look at the garment factory, and then focused his main energy on the chemical fiber factory, leaving the garment factory to Zhao Qing and a few others.

Li Shaozhong also took Li Shutian and several others to the chemical fiber factory, and from then on Li Shutian and others would start to get involved in the work of the chemical fiber factory.

Two days later, Li Jianye called Li Shaozhong and said, "Come to Kyoto in a couple of days. Take a plane, and hurry up. The higher-ups want to talk to you in person. Don't you have some advanced technologies? Prepare them."

When Li Shaozhong heard that the higher-ups took it very seriously, he prepared some materials with Ye Shuning and her husband in the evening and compiled some information.

Li Shaozhong sat next to his wife, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "What if the higher-ups ask me to hand over these technologies?"

Ye Shuning pondered for a moment and said, "That's nothing. You can also take this opportunity to make some requests. It can lay the foundation for your engine factory or future car factory."

Li Shaozhong pinched his wife's cheek and said with a smile: "What a good little wife."

Two days later, Li Shaozhong boarded a plane to Kyoto.

Ye Shuning received a batch of experimental instruments and equipment in Shenzhou and moved them all into her own laboratory.

The same goes for the equipment in Li Shaozhong's laboratory, but some things will have to wait until he returns to arrange them.

Li Shaozhong went straight home when he arrived in Kyoto. Yang Jinping was delighted to see her youngest son back. She pulled him up and looked him over, "You've been away for so long this time. You've lost so much weight."

Li Shaozhong smiled and said, "Xiao Ning said the same thing. She's been cooking for me every day these past few days and giving me supplements. A young man like me doesn't need any supplements."

Yang Jinping patted her son and said, "You're already thirty years old, you should be more careful. Xiao Ning is worried about you, you have to listen to her."

Li Shaozhong said, "I have to listen to her. My eldest brother has also been taking supplements these days and exercising for an extra half an hour every day to avoid gaining weight."

Yang Jinping burst out laughing. "You two really don't know how to appreciate your good fortune. You could do some more exercise to stay stronger. Hey, your eldest brother doesn't know any lesbians over there, does he?"

Li Shaozhong shook his head. "My eldest brother is busy with work every day. He goes home after get off work and plays with Jingyu and Jingyi. He cares about the children more than I do. But I think my eldest brother is quite happy every day. You don't have to worry about him remarrying.

If he meets a girl he's destined to be with in the future, he'll take action naturally without us having to intervene. We shouldn't force him if he doesn't want to."

Li Shaozhong put his luggage back in his room and went downstairs to chat with his mother.

Yang Jinping asked several grandchildren one by one, and Li Shaozhong told them all, and also told many interesting stories about the children, which made Yang Jinping laugh.

Li Shaozhong was always thinking about Yan Jingwen and asked, "Mom, how is Jingwen now? We talked on the phone a while ago. I've been abroad recently and we haven't been in touch. Besides, it's hard to explain over the phone."

When Yang Jinping heard her youngest son asking about Yan Jingwen, she sighed, "The Yan family was really bustling a few days ago, with all sorts of chaos. When Jingwen got married, that Xue Lili even caused a scene. It was really bizarre, and it became a joke in the whole compound."

Jingwen was unlucky to have a mother like Li Shuxian. She forced Jingwen to marry Zhao Huixin, and then forced Jingwen to give her a grandson.

You said you didn't force your son to have children. Hearing that you and Xiao Ning had twins, a boy and a girl, only made her even more obsessed. Jingwen was forced to leave Kyoto by her, and no one knows where he went. Now that Jingwen is gone, the Yan family has calmed down.

Now Zhao Huixin is in the Yan family, and Li Shuxian also dislikes her. It is said that she complains all day long that she can't keep Jingwen's heart, and she doesn't even know where he has gone. She can't even find him, let alone give her a grandson. Zhao Huixin often returns to her parents' home because she can't stand being scolded.

Li Shuxian, when she has no one to vent her anger on, picks on her eldest daughter-in-law. Every few days, there's a fight. She's not ashamed of it. I heard people say Yan Hongjiang doesn't even want to go home anymore because of Li Shuxian's annoyance. What's the point of having a family like this?

Li Shaozhong listened to the Yan family affairs and shook his head and sighed, "Jingwen should leave Kyoto. He will be annoyed to death by his mother at home."

Yang Jinping said, "Zhao Huixin had planned to marry Jingwen from the beginning. How could she possibly live happily if she wasn't loved by her husband? And she's constantly being criticized by her mother-in-law. She must be regretting it now."

Li Shaozhong snorted and curled his lips, "That's what she asked for. If she hadn't schemed against Jingwen and insisted on marrying him, would she be in this situation now? You have to bear the consequences of your own actions."

Yang Jinping said, "I think the Zhao family is just trying to rely on the Yan family now, and they have no intention of standing up for Zhao Huixin. Zhao Huixin is really reaping the consequences of her own actions."
