Hearing this, Xie Huixian exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, really? These kids are so considerate. They know their mother is having a hard time during pregnancy, so they're all being well-behaved and not making a fuss."
"It's good that they don't make a fuss; it makes things easier for the adults too."
As she spoke, Mrs. Zhou recalled her pregnancy back then, "When I was pregnant with Weiguo, I had severe morning sickness. The environment was already bad, and he was also a troublemaker."
"I suffered a lot during my ten months of pregnancy."
Just as the old lady finished speaking, Zhou Weiguo's voice came from outside.
"Looks like I came back at the wrong time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Weiguo walked into the house with a smile. He looked up at Old Mrs. Zhou and said with a smile, "Mom, why are you bringing up this old story again?"
“I’ve heard you mention this a lot over the years. Your son is already forty-five years old, and you still have to nag him about it.”
"Am I not allowed to mention it?" Old Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows.
"I can recite it, I can recite it."
Zhou Weiguo nodded quickly, handed the briefcase to the nanny, and then looked at Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao.
"Uncle Zhou."
The couple shouted at the same time.
Zhou Weiguo nodded and asked with a smile, "When did you arrive? I'm not late, am I?"
Feng Zhiyi smiled and replied, "No, it's not late. We just arrived. Look, we haven't even finished our cup of tea yet."
As she spoke, she pointed to the hot tea on the coffee table.
Zhou Weiguo glanced at the coffee table and saw that the tea in the cups was still more than half full. He then sat down on another single sofa.
Then they got straight to the point.
"Zhiyi, you called my office yesterday saying you had something to discuss with me. What good plans do you have this time?"
Feng Zhiyi smiled and said, "There are no new investment plans at the moment. However, I came to see Uncle Zhou today to talk to you about the donation."
"Donate money?" Zhou Weiguo asked, puzzled.
"Yes, donations."
Feng Zhiyi nodded slightly. Just then, Lu Lingxiao took the file folder out of her bag and handed it to her. Feng Zhiyi took it and then passed it to Zhou Weiguo.
"Uncle Zhou, this is the plan I wrote. Please take a look."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo took the file bag, pulled out the plan document, and began to read it page by page.
For a moment, the living room was filled with the sound of turning over papers.
About ten minutes later.
Zhou Weiguo suddenly looked up at Feng Zhiyi with a surprised expression, his voice filled with delight and excitement, "Zhiyi, are you kidding your Uncle Zhou?"
"Are you really going to donate $3 million to invest in schools and welfare institutions in Jincheng?"
They also plan to donate $10 million to build roads.
Keep in mind that this is US dollars!
A whopping $13 million, how much is that in RMB?
How many more ordinary people and children will benefit?
Do I look like I'm lying?
Feng Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Zhou, this $13 million is only the first batch of donations. After the first batch of donations is put into practice, I will donate another batch of money to Jincheng."
"However, every penny of this money must be spent effectively and used to help those who truly need it."
"If I discover that anyone has falsified the donations and pocketed them, I will immediately terminate all investments and donations to Jincheng and pursue legal action against them!"
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'll have your Brother Zhou follow up on this matter and make sure every penny is used where it's needed."
Zhou Weiguo said earnestly and seriously.
$13 million is no small sum. If we don't follow up personally, someone might actually try to falsify information and deceive the government.
After all, even a small amount of this money could easily fill their pockets.
Feng Zhiyi thought for a moment and then said, "Uncle Zhou, to be honest, I only thought of donating so much money to Jincheng because I see you as a fair and just mayor, and a good official who truly cares about the people."
“If it weren’t for our good relationship, I wouldn’t have been able to donate so much.”
"Don't laugh at me, but when I went back to my hometown in Jiangnan at the beginning of the year to pay respects to my ancestors, I only donated 3 million US dollars to our hometown. Compared with this 13 million, it's really a huge difference."
"Therefore, I don't want to see anything disheartening happen."
If anyone really tries to take advantage of this money, don't blame her for being ruthless.
Zhou Weiguo naturally understood the meaning behind Feng Zhiyi's words, and he immediately said to Feng Zhiyi with a serious expression.
"Zhiyi, don't worry, I'll take care of building Hope Primary and Secondary Schools and Welfare Homes, as well as road construction. I'll keep a close eye on everything."
Hearing Zhou Weiguo say this, Feng Zhiyi smiled and nodded, "Then I'll have someone deliver the money to you in a couple of days, and then register it. I'll leave the rest to you, Uncle Zhou."
“Okay, no problem.” Zhou Weiguo nodded in agreement.
After they finished discussing business, Zhou Weiguo changed the subject and started chatting about everyday things.
"What time are you leaving on the 10th? Our family will come to see you off. After you leave Jincheng this time, the next time we'll probably see each other will be when Zhiyi gives birth, right?"
“Around 8 a.m.,” Lu Lingxiao replied.
After Lu Lingxiao finished speaking, Feng Zhiyi continued, "Uncle Zhou, don't worry. There are so many factories in Jincheng, and a company building under construction. I will definitely come here often."
After all, the Feng Group has so many businesses here.
Although she has already placed several intelligent robots in Jincheng's factories to monitor the operation of each factory at any time, necessary inspections are still indispensable.
Grandma Zhou said with a smile, "Zhiyi, you must give us a call when you're about to give birth. Your aunt and I will come to see you and also check on our triplets."
"I've lived for over sixty years and I've never seen triplets before."
Xie Huixian chimed in, "I haven't seen it either. When Zhiyi gives birth this time, I'm determined to go and see her."
Seeing the expectant looks on Grandma Zhou's and Aunt's faces, Feng Zhiyi nodded and smiled in response.
"Okay, I'll call you when my due date is approaching."
Upon hearing this, the two nodded happily, "Great, great..."
We ate lunch at the Zhou family's house.
After finishing their meal, Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao said their goodbyes and left.
Seeing that Feng Zhiyi was seated in the passenger seat, Lu Lingxiao drove straight towards the factory in the western suburbs.
When passing by her own construction site, Feng Zhiyi took a special look. The progress of the project was acceptable, but there were still not enough people. She would have to ask the foreman to add another batch of workers.
Otherwise, the progress would be too slow.
She requested that the building be topped out by the end of September this year, but at the current pace, that seems a bit risky!
