As dusk fell, the phone rang at home. Gong Wantang, who was preparing dinner, immediately put down her spatula and answered the call. "Hello, who is this?"

"Wantang, have you eaten yet?"

Cui Zhiyuan's voice came from the other end of the phone. Gong Wantang was stunned for a moment and replied, "Not yet. They haven't come back yet."

"Did Linglong go to the factory today?"

"They didn't go this afternoon. They took their three children to Zhou's house." Gong Wantang calmed down and asked him, "What do you want to talk to Linglong about?"

"Yes, I have something to ask her and want to ask her for help." Cui Zhiyuan said with a smile in his voice.

"She hasn't come back yet, but she will be back for dinner. Call back half an hour later."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work."

Cui Zhiyuan actually wanted to talk to her more, but he didn't know how to start.

Gong Wantang hung up the phone first. Seeing that her son was playing happily alone on the carpet, she immediately hurried to the kitchen to stir the food in the wok.

After paying the phone bill, Cui Zhiyuan went upstairs to his room and did not see Liang Yongwen and her daughter standing in the corner with gloomy faces.

He had only said a few simple words on the phone just now, but they all heard clearly that he was calling the mother and daughter. The person who answered the phone was his ex-wife. She had a smile on her face and a light in her eyes during the conversation, which was something Leung Wing-man had never seen before.

As expected, there were only his ex-wife and daughter in his heart.

Liang Yongwen has bought the plane ticket today. The earliest flight is at noon the day after tomorrow, flying from Kyoto to Guangzhou, and then to Hong Kong City for a transfer back to Country M.

Cui Zhiyuan was not idle after returning from prison in the afternoon. He asked He Huaimin for the contact information of several classmates. He made a round of phone calls this afternoon and contacted four or five classmates. They have made an appointment to meet on Saturday.

Although there was an unpleasantness with the Cui family, other matters were handled smoothly, especially on his daughter's side, which was particularly smooth and comfortable. Cui Zhiyuan was quite happy and joyful.

He took a shower upstairs, washed and hung the father and son's clothes, and went downstairs on time half an hour later to make a phone call.

This time it was Gong Linglong who answered the phone. Cui Zhiyuan asked first, "Linglong, have you eaten yet?"

"I was just about to eat. I heard from my mother that you had something to ask me. What can I do for you?"

"Linglong, this is what I mean. I'm planning to donate some money to help with national development when I return to China. I'd like to meet with the leaders above to discuss this in detail. Could you introduce me to them?"

Cui Zhiyuan could have asked his classmates for help, but he thought it would be best to ask his daughter for help. First, it would deepen his relationship with her, and second, it would help her increase her influence, which would be beneficial to her future career prospects.

He didn't say this explicitly, but Gong Linglong guessed it.

The country's economy is currently lagging behind, and scientific research funding is tight. Donations from overseas Chinese like them can indeed help development. Gong Linglong agreed without much hesitation: "Okay, I'll contact the higher-ups first and make an appointment with them. I'll call you later."

"Okay." Cui Zhiyuan smiled and said nothing more: "Go eat quickly, we'll talk later."

After hanging up the phone, Gong Linglong told the rest of the family what he had said. No one said anything and started eating as soon as the food was served.

Gong Linglong quickly finished her meal and called Grandpa Lu first, asking him to help contact Elder D and other leaders. After making an appointment, she called back, "The day after tomorrow morning, I'll pick you up at the hotel entrance at 7:30."

Thinking that his donation discussion would take at least half a day, Gong Linglong went to the factory early the next day to deal with all the matters she had to deal with in the next two days in advance.

"Mom, please take us with you tomorrow. We have agreed with Dad to donate all the money we earned from setting up the stall this month."

The triplets discussed this with her, and Gong Linglong raised an eyebrow: "You guys made quite a bit this month, probably around 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. Did you really donate it all?"

"Adding what I earned in Guangzhou, it's exactly 30,000 yuan."

Lu Chuming had already calculated the accounts and sorted out the 30,000 yuan. He now put the money in a large cloth bag and arranged it: "My uncle donated to build a Hope Primary School in my mother's name, and we will also donate in her name. The 30,000 yuan will be used as funds for weapons research and development."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Mom will take you there tomorrow. You give the money to the leader, Grandpa."

Lu Jingchuan had just finished washing and hanging out the clothes when he entered the room to see the mother and her two children lying on the bed, talking. He glanced at his watch and said, "It's getting late, go to bed."

"Come on, I'll take you inside to sleep."

Gong Linglong turned over and got up, hugged the three children, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lu Jingchuan lay on the bed and waited for several minutes, but she didn't come out. He shouted to the air, "Linglong, come out and sleep."

Gong Linglong had wanted to sleep inside with her sons, but when she heard him shouting, she had no choice but to come out and pounce on him like a goblin, with a face full of resentment: "Captain Lu, can't you just let me rest for a night?"

"cannot."

Lu Jingchuan rolled over and pinned the man down. The young man was full of vigor and energy, and he didn't want to stop for even a day. His eyes were dim, "School will start soon, I need to eat before going to school."

"Take a rest tonight."

Gong Linglong was really tired and acted coquettishly, "My legs are so sore. I've been weak and sore all day. It hurts even to walk."

He was really cruel last night, almost tormenting her to the point of fainting. Thinking of her exhausted appearance last night, Lu Jingchuan's eyes were deep. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Okay, rest tonight, I'll massage you."

He kept his word and didn't make any trouble tonight. He massaged her for half an hour with just the right amount of strength, and then held her to sleep.

After breakfast at home in the morning, Gong Linglong wore a dress with high heels, and changed the three children into white short-sleeved shirts and shorts. Lu Jingchuan also wore formal military uniform when he went to meet the leader today. The family of five carefully prepared and dressed up before going out.

Cui Zhiyuan and his son were also dressed formally. He wore a white shirt, black trousers and leather shoes, a standard business style. Cui Siwei was dressed a little more casually, with a bit of the aristocratic young master's style.

Liang Yongwen knew that he was meeting his daughter again today. She wanted to see his daughter who was the apple of his eye. So the mother and daughter got up early and were standing at the door of the hotel, but not with the father and son.

Cui Zhiyuan did not stop them. He had not spoken to them since the quarrel and divorce that night. He also knew that they were leaving this afternoon. He just called his assistant in Yangcheng and asked them to accompany the mother and daughter back. He also gave the assistant some instructions.

He still has some things to deal with here, so he will have to stay for at least a week. His son will stay here with him, and after they finish their business, the father and son will return to Country M together.
