Listening to Lu Fan's current marketing methods, even Wang Mingtang gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
After Lu Fan saw Wang Mingtang off, Jiang Manyue drove to pick him up.
"Let's go. We've arranged to go to my mother-in-law's place first. All the relatives are waiting."
The relatives mentioned were Lu Fan's aunt's family, and his third uncle who arrived later.
Lu Fan looked left and right, then scanned the area, but couldn't find Zhang Fan or his car. He asked curiously:
"Where's Zhang Fan? He left his boss here and went out to have some fun?"
As his bodyguard and part-time driver, Zhang Fan was always reliable, so Lu Fan's comment was just a joke.
As a result, he received a glare from Jiang Manyue, who scolded him:
"I see you've been so busy with work lately that you've forgotten everything else?!"
Lu Fan shrugged innocently, unable to recall what he had forgotten.
Fortunately, Jiang Manyue didn't hold it against him. She got out of the car and sorted out the gifts in the passenger seat and the trunk.
Then she told Lu Fan to get in the car quickly, and while driving, she explained to her husband:
"I sent Zhang Fan out to pick up Li Tian and the others."
Only after hearing this did Lu Fan suddenly realize and remember.
He and Jiang Manyue were the first to move, transferring their children to schools and settling in Nanshan City.
Lu Fan is busy with the acquisition plan in Nanshan City.
Jiang Manyue was in charge of arranging business in Jinghai City.
Li Tian stayed even later, remaining in Jinghai City to clean up the mess Lu Fan was making that couldn't be brought to light.
The reason this cannot be exposed to the light of day is not because it violates any laws, but because it prevents Elder Huang or other forces from discovering some of their clandestine plans.
Now that things have been sorted out, Li Tian didn't linger in Jinghai City any longer. Instead, he and his men quietly arrived in Nanshan to continue working as Lu Fan's assistants.
Hearing that Jiang Manyue had arranged for Zhang Fan to take people to pick up Li Tian, Lu Fan nodded in relief.
"Zhang Fan has his own connections, so there shouldn't be any problem with him providing support to Li Tian."
Having talked about Li Tian, we have to mention their business in Nanshan.
Lu Fan revealed Wang Mingtang's intentions to Jiang Manyue.
Jiang Manyue breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally over. Once the machine starts running, you can expect to make a fortune every day."
Her teasing and joking made Lu Fan feel relaxed.
Upon arriving at Lu's mother's current residence and knocking on the door, Lu's mother's first words were surprisingly similar to Jiang Manyue's:
"We've finally started work! We were so anxious these past few days." It turns out that the printing factory's problems weren't a huge issue, but they weren't insignificant either.
It's considered a big deal because the fact that the factory director absconded with the money with the accountant was exposed by the media.
On a smaller scale, it was because someone above them was keeping things in check that Wang Mingtang and his group of municipal officials weren't humiliated and left with no way to explain themselves to their superiors.
The incident only caused a minor stir in Nanshan City.
Just then, Zhang's relatives came over, and Lu's mother overheard some rumors during their conversation.
When she found out that Lu Fan had taken over the printing factory, she was so worried that her teeth started to ache.
After much hesitation, he finally couldn't resist calling Jiang Manyue to inquire about the acquisition.
When Jiang Manyue and Lu Fan entered the house with the tonics and gifts they had bought for their relatives.
Madam Lu couldn't care less about anything else; she quickly grabbed Lu Fan's hand and asked:
“I was confused by what Manyue said on the phone before, but now that you’re back, you can explain it to Mom properly.”
Lu Fan smiled helplessly at Jiang Manyue, thankfully Jiang Manyue didn't hold it against her mother-in-law.
She greeted everyone as soon as she entered, carrying gifts, and was very polite and attentive.
Lu Fan followed her, supporting his mother's arm as they first escorted her into the house.
"Come in quickly, it's not hot standing by the door."
Nanshan City is not as cool and pleasant as Jinghai City. It's only a few months old, and it's already so hot that we need to turn on the air conditioner.
When Lu's mother lived alone with her housekeeper, she was always reluctant to let her go.
Now that relatives have come, it's lively with so many people, and we don't hesitate to turn on the air conditioning anymore.
As soon as I entered the gate, I felt refreshed.
My aunt's family and my third uncle's family also came out to greet us warmly.
Upon seeing Lu Fan and his wife, they exchanged pleasantries, asking how the couple had been lately and how the children were doing.
Jiang Manyue greeted her relatives with a smile, holding her aunt's hand and saying, "Everything is fine, thank you for your concern, Auntie. Where is my older sister's little orchid? I haven't seen her."
Xiao Lanhua is the eldest sister's daughter, whom she brought home after her divorce. She is eleven years old and was originally in the fifth grade.
She was taken back to her parents' home by her older sister, and then brought to Nanshan City, where she is waiting to transfer schools.
The aunt was all smiles, showing none of the awkwardness and frustration one might expect from a daughter's divorce; she was clearly in a much better mood than before she came.
"It's all thanks to you and Lu Fan. With your arrangements, Xiao Lan Hua's name has been changed, and her school registration has been transferred."
The eldest sister, Li Ling, was married into a family that favored sons over daughters, believing that having a daughter was equivalent to not having a child at all.
Now that they're divorced, my older cousin has taken Xiaolan's surname and changed her name to Li Lan.
