"Our teacher also said that it was the latest model, and that the factory manager was involved in the design. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been his turn."
"That machine... is it very powerful?" Zhang San hesitated for a moment before asking.
"That's really impressive. If you ask me, Dad, you should be secretly laughing at such a powerful factory manager."
Zhang San's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
"It's impressive, but hopefully they'll pay more wages. If not, some food would be fine too," Zhang San's wife muttered to herself, expressing her desire for the supplies.
They lived in a dormitory-style building that the factory had built many years ago.
The location isn't great; every time I need to buy grain, I have to walk quite a distance, and it's noisy upstairs and downstairs. The only advantage is that it's close to the factory.
After finishing his meal, Zhang San picked up his teacup and headed outside.
"Dad, where are you going?"
"Go and find out some information."
Old Zhang strolled leisurely to his neighbor's house.
Old Li from next door was eating when he saw Old Zhang coming over and greeted him, "Hey, Old Zhang, have you eaten yet? Want something to grab a bite?"
"No, no, you all eat, I've already eaten. I came over just to ask you something," Old Zhang waved his hand. They've been neighbors for years, so there's no need for formalities.
"Okay, go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."
"What are your plans for the new factory manager?"
"The new factory manager?" Old Li looked at Old Zhang with suspicion. "What else can we do? We'll just do whatever he says."
"Okay, okay, don't try to fool me. With your bunch of cunning minds, do you think you'd listen to me?"
"Hey." Old Li chuckled, looking Old Zhang up and down. "What's up? Planning to make another push? If you ask me, don't bother with all that stuff. If you ask me, this factory won't be popular for long. Just watch it."
"How can you be so sure?" Old Zhang didn't understand where Old Li's confidence came from.
"That new factory manager looks to be only in his early twenties. What can he do? He just keeps bringing machines into the factory, and they'll all end up being scrapped anyway. You'll see if you don't believe me."
When Lao Zhang heard Lao Li say that, he didn't say anything, but just took the teacup and left.
There's no need to linger too long while people are eating.
Courtyard
The three little ones were taken out to play by Qin Jingru, leaving only a moth and a Wang Shouren at home.
The two of them were playing a childish game at home, taking turns hitting each other.
"What were you thinking, coming all this way just to take your son out to play?" Wang Shouren said helplessly. This moth had been here for over a month and hadn't done anything, just taking these little rascals out to play all day. Now, the rascals had completely fallen for their mother.
This woman is the complete opposite of Qin Jingru.
Qin Jingru was absolutely guessing, while she was absolutely generous.
This morning, the two of them were staring at each other when Ms. Lou pulled out a wad of US dollars and handed it to Qin Jingru. Qin Jingru then threw her principles to the wind and happily took the children out to play.
Even the youngest, Wang Xirou, has an imposing presence when arguing.
It's almost as if he's about to shout something like, "I have three mothers, do you?"
As for Wang Ruiming, he's been looking at Wang Shouren with a strange gaze lately. However, this kid has been smart since he was little, so he probably knows that normal people don't have three mothers.
These complicated family matters were giving Mr. Wang a headache.
"That depends on you." Lou Xiao'e blinked. "Didn't you ask me to come back?"
"Okay, stop pinching."
"I've been holding back for over ten years, and now you won't even let me pinch you?" Ms. Lou blinked her eyes pitifully.
Wang Shouren: ...
Okay, you're the most important person here.
"Just kidding. We're going back in September, and Si Ren has to go to school too. I brought him here during summer vacation. But don't keep me waiting too long, okay?"
"Do you know what I want to do?" Wang Shouren looked at Lou Xiao'e in surprise.
"Isn't it just about earning foreign exchange? Isn't that what everyone thinks these days?"
"You're over there..." Wang Shouren stopped there.
To be honest, he felt sorry for Lou Xiao'e. He couldn't imagine what kind of trouble a woman would suffer in a chaotic place like Hong Kong.
"Don't think I'm exhausted over there." Lou Xiao'e smiled, seemingly understanding what he was thinking. "My father, your father-in-law, is doing quite well. Although he can't compare to those real big shots, he can still protect me without any problem. My brothers have also developed some businesses. Our family in Hong Kong, while not in the top ten, is definitely in the top one hundred."
"So how have you been all these years?"
Since Lou Xiao'e returned, Wang Shouren has hardly had a chance to chat with her.
"You're only asking now!" Lou Xiao'e pouted, got up from his arms, and looked at him with a fierce yet cute expression.
"Cough cough..." Wang Shouren coughed twice and turned his gaze away.
Lou Xiao'e reached out and turned Wang Shouren's head back to meet her gaze. Wang Shouren tried to turn away, but Lou Xiao'e stretched her neck and pressed her lips to his.
"He's cured?" Lou Xiao'e looked at Wang Shouren teasingly.
"Uh-huh……"
To be honest, this woman is truly a vixen.
"Ah?" Lou Xiao'e exclaimed in surprise, feeling some movement beneath her. Looking at Wang Shouren again, the shameless man no longer felt any remorse.
"How about we talk?"
"Okay, what would you like to talk about?"
"For example, how are you doing over there?"
Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, and an ominous feeling welled up in her heart.
"You wouldn't, would you?"
"This is to ensure you don't lie," Wang said seriously. "People are unlikely to lie when they are extremely happy. A teacher told me this, and I don't know if it's true or not. So I want to try it."
"Hey...hey...what are you doing..."
Qin Jingru returned with her three children, full of excitement. Today, Ms. Lou had given them plenty of money, and the little ones had a wonderful time playing outside and enjoying a delicious meal.
For the sake of money, Qin Jingru decided to give Ms. Lou a place in the family. Although Ms. Lou had moved in with all her belongings even before Qin Jingru agreed, she was still the legitimate wife, that's for sure!
When the Empress returned, she saw Wang Shouren sitting in the living room drinking water with a serious expression.
She asked curiously, "Where is Sister E?"
"I'm a little tired, I'm going to sleep."
Qin Jingru looked him up and down, then sniffed and rolled her eyes.
