The items on the drawing were very simple, mostly pretty hair clips, hair flowers, straw hats, gloves, scarves, and the like.
Simple and exquisite, they can all be made by hand. The hair clips have bows and pearls on them, and the straw hats are the same. She drew several different designs, and they can be woven by hand.
Gu Tingzhi glanced at it and nodded, "It can be done. It's inconspicuous and not sensitive to higher authorities, but it won't make much money."
Meng Fuyan said, "I know I won't make too much money. My goal is different from yours. Your goal is to make money, and my goal is to save people. At least, the first step is to save people."
"As you said, these things are simple, not sensitive, and won't arouse suspicion. They can be made by hand. The ribbons and bows on this straw hat would be much more upscale if made of silk. There is no shortage of craftsmen in China, but the situation has been sensitive in recent years, and many veteran craftsmen dare not make these things anymore. If we can get a large number of orders, we won't have to worry about a lack of customers."
Gu Tingzhi understood. "You want to open a factory and have the Xu family come back to manage it?"
To open a factory, you need to ensure a steady stream of orders. Once the factory is open, it will naturally need someone to manage it. If the Meng family were to step in, the government might be willing to give face and allow those people to return, since the orders are simple yet stable.
Meng Fuyan nodded, "That's right! The factory needs someone to manage it! If we plead, we should be able to get the Xu family to come back. Even if they can't come back at first, we should at least be able to make their lives a little better. Once the orders keep coming in, there won't be any problems."
"These are all very simple things, and they don't involve any sensitive information. The Xu family should be able to handle them, right?"
Gu Tingzhi smiled and said, "No problem, Changning City is the location?"
Meng Fuyan replied confidently, "Of course, the Meng family's ancestral home is in Changning City, so of course we have to go back to our hometown."
Gu Tingzhi smiled and patted her hair. "These things are too simple. They can be made in some small factories. You might not succeed at first! You'll have to be patient."
Meng Fuyan said helplessly, "I can do complicated things too, but I'm afraid to do them! I'm just afraid of causing trouble."
It's only been 71 years, and trade has just begun. It will increase significantly next year. She'll start with a small, simple trial this year to give people a taste of success. Next year, she'll find an opportunity to do a large-scale operation. That way, by next year at the latest, everyone in the Meng family will be able to return.
"Let's test the waters first. If it works, I'll try to get more other orders next time! Considering how hard I've worked, the higher-ups will definitely show leniency to the Meng family."
Gu Tingzhi nodded, "That's true. Don't worry, I had someone take care of those people before I went abroad. They're not in any danger for now, so you don't need to worry too much about them."
Meng Fuyan kissed him. "Thank you. That puts my mind at ease. Well... let's go with this one. You have connections back home, right? Mom said that if the Su family can't find the person, they'll eventually contact the Meng family. We'll talk to the Meng family about these things before the Su family goes to them. Will you help bring the person over then?"
“That’s easy. I also need to send things back to China. I’ll help make the connection, and the rest can be handled by the Meng family and the people on the mainland.”
How could someone who cares about the country's development have gone abroad for several months without bringing back anything of value?
When he went to pick up Meng Fuyan last time, he took a batch of very important documents and had them sent back to China. However, those were all classified information, so Meng Fuyan didn't know about them.
After Meng Fuyan finished speaking, she prepared to get up and leave. "Then it's settled. I won't disturb your work any longer."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Gu Tingzhi pulled her back and sat her down. "You're leaving already?"
Meng Fuyan blinked. "Otherwise what?"
Gu Tingzhi gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I've been busy these days and haven't been home as much. What about you? You've been busy with your work too, and you don't even come to see me when there's nothing wrong, right? You're leaving right after saying that. Do you even care about me as your boyfriend anymore?"
Meng Fuyan: "..."
She thought for a moment, "Don't we see each other every day?"
Gu Tingzhi felt that the girl in front of him was really strange. She was completely different from the image of a girl in his mind. Don't normal couples like to stick together, go shopping, eat out and watch movies together?
Gotham City is much freer and more relaxed than China. Yan Yan has just arrived, so she should be excited about everything. Her mother has been found and is gradually recovering. Logically, this girl should be thinking about dating him, right?
Why didn't I pester him to go shopping together?
He makes so much money, how can he not buy his girlfriend all sorts of things?
"Aren't you... curious about this place? Don't you want me to go out and explore with you?"
Meng Fuyan: "..."
By the way, this is her first time in Gotham City. It's so much more developed than back home, so she should be amazed.
"Well... of course I wanted to! Before, it was because Mom had just been found and her health wasn't good, and I was worried about her health, so I didn't have time. Besides, you're so busy, and I was afraid of interfering with your work. You're currently in the process of getting promoted in China, and if you suddenly come abroad to do these things, I'm worried that if you can't produce results in a short time, your mentality will collapse!"
Gu Tingzhi looked at her. "Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
Gu Tingzhi looked at her and felt that something was not quite right. This girl must be hiding something from him.
But he didn't mind. She's a little girl; it's normal for her to have her own little thoughts and secrets.
"Well... I'll come back to pick you up after get off work tomorrow at noon. You don't need to eat lunch. I'll take you out to eat. If we have time in the afternoon, I'll take you shopping or to see a movie. We can watch a movie after dinner and then come back."
Meng Fuyan nodded, "Okay, I'll go tell my mom."
She got up to leave again, but Gu Tingzhi pressed her back down, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Meng Fuyan: "..."
She glanced at the thick stack of documents on his desk. "Don't you have anything to do?"
Gu Tingzhi: "..."
He's so angry!
He immediately put on a stern face, looking unhappy, and said something like, "Come and coax me!"
Meng Fuyan was taken aback. Seeing that he was unhappy, she glanced at the documents on the table and tried to recall her recent behavior. It seemed that she had indeed neglected him a bit.
There's nothing I can do; it's my boyfriend, so I have to comfort him myself.
She leaned in, cupped his face, and kissed him. "Don't be angry! I'm worried about your career. How about I take you out tomorrow? We can go wherever you want, do whatever we want, okay?"
Gu Tingzhi: "..."
Why does this sound like something many men would say to coax a girl?
"I'm sorry! I was wrong, okay? I promise I won't do it again. Tell me, what do you want? I'll do whatever you say!"
Gu Tingzhi's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he raised an eyebrow, saying, "Really?"
