Chapter 59 Diligent
When she got home, Grandma Pei started to think about it.
Although she had not met Zhang Yumei, she had a new idea. Instead of letting her son and Zhang Yumei reconcile, it would be better to match her grandson with Zhang Ruojin.
In this way, wouldn't the two families become relatives? Wouldn't it be legitimate to ask the Zhang family for help then?
Thinking of this, Grandma Pei immediately called her eldest son: "Come home early today, I have something important to tell you."
In the evening, Pei's father returned home with full of doubts.
"Mom, what's the hurry?"
"I went to find Zhang Yumei." Grandma Pei went straight to the point.
Father Pei's expression was stern: "Why did you mention her again?"
"I met her daughter." Grandma Pei said, "That child is really nice, about the same age as Songsong."
Father Pei immediately understood what his mother meant: "Mom, you are not..."
"Mom is also thinking about this family." Grandma Pei sighed, "Look at you, you are not at home every day after the divorce. Songsong is the same, he is not young anymore, it's time for him to get married."
"Mom," Pei's father's voice turned cold, "You can't force feelings. That's how you were back then..."
"Isn't that for your own good?" Grandma Pei interrupted him, "Besides, your brother is still in prison. If the Zhang family can help..."
"That's enough!" Father Pei stood up, "Are you trying to trade the child's marriage?"
"What's the deal?" Grandma Pei said anxiously. "Isn't it normal for two young people to be together?"
Father Pei didn't want to talk about this topic anymore: "Anyway, don't worry about Songsong's affairs."
Seeing her son's firm attitude, Grandma Pei didn't know what to say, but she had already made up her mind.
A few days later, Zhang Ruojin came as agreed. She brought precious tea and some supplements.
"These are all brought back from Country Y. Please try them." Zhang Ruojin gently poured tea for Grandma Pei.
Mr. Pei happened to come back from the company to get some documents. When he saw Zhang Ruojin, he paused slightly.
Zhang Ruojin looked up and saw him, with a barely perceptible light flashing in his eyes.
The corners of her mouth curved slightly, and she stood up and greeted, "Uncle Pei."
Father Pei nodded and went upstairs to the study.
Zhang Ruojin poured some more tea for Grandma Pei, and said very gently, "Drink this tea while it's hot."
Grandma Pei felt very comfortable being taken care of by her and kept praising her for her thoughtfulness.
Grandma Pei casually mentioned that her knees hurt, and the next day Zhang Ruojin brought an imported heating pad.
She squatted at Grandma Pei's feet and carefully demonstrated how to use it: "This one adjusts the temperature, that one sets the timer, and it will automatically shut off after use. It's very safe."
She also installed an induction lamp next to the sofa where Grandma Pei often sat, saying that she was worried that it would be inconvenient for the elderly to get up at night.
Grandma Pei was deeply touched by this thoughtfulness and felt that she was an ideal candidate for granddaughter-in-law.
She began to frequently talk about the Zhang family in front of her son, saying how thoughtful and sensible Zhang Ruojin was.
Father Pei just shook his head: "Mom, don't think about Songsong."
Grandma Pei disagreed. In her opinion, such a good girl, not only was she well-matched with him, but she was also very caring. She must not be missed.
…
July in Singapore is hot and humid, with an unpleasant sticky feeling.
In the demonstration unit of the "Elderly Apartment", the cool air from the air conditioner made Pei Song feel a little more comfortable.
Together with the inspection team, he listened to the shopping guide's detailed introduction to the intelligent supporting system, and from time to time he lowered his head to write down the key points in his notebook.
"The biggest highlight of this system is that the data is connected throughout the process," the salesgirl said, turning on the large screen to display the system interface, "from home monitoring to medical warnings to emergency rescue, forming a complete closed loop."
"This is very good." Zhou Feng glanced at Pei Song who was recording, "It is very close to the direction of our plan."
Pei Song nodded: "Indeed, especially when they connect medical resources directly to the system, it can greatly improve emergency response efficiency."
"Do you think it's difficult to land here?" Zhou Feng asked.
"Technically, there aren't many problems," Pei Song flipped through his notes. "The main problem is that the connection of medical resources requires coordination with multiple local institutions. But if we can refer to their experience, we should be able to avoid a lot of detours."
After the morning visit, the delegation went to the hotel restaurant for lunch, and the topic at the table naturally turned to the project.
"Pei Song," Zhou Feng reminded, "We must sort out the inspection report as soon as possible when we return. The headquarters attaches great importance to this project."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I will sort it out as soon as possible." Pei Song replied.
A Singaporean-style steamed grouper was served. Zhou Feng noticed that the dish was a little far from Pei Song, so he naturally pushed the fish in front of him: "Try it, it's one of Singapore's most famous dishes."
Pei Song thanked him politely but did not pick up his chopsticks.
This vague concern made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything.
The afternoon inspection schedule was more compact.
Pei Song followed the project manager to carefully understand every detail, from the functional zoning of the health care center to the planning and layout of the leisure venue, recording everything in detail.
"This rehabilitation training area is designed to be very user-friendly," the project manager said, "and each device is equipped with an intelligent monitoring system."
Pei Song looked at the smart terminal on the wall carefully, thinking about how to apply these advanced concepts to his own project.
"Manager Pei is very professional.
" exclaimed the fellow investigators.
"Yes, you are young enough to take on such an important task.
"Someone agreed,"No wonder Mr. Zhou thinks so highly of him.
Pei Song turned a deaf ear to it,
Throughout the afternoon, he shuttled back and forth between various places, not missing any detail that deserved attention.
The next morning, the delegation arrived at the medical care center.
The advanced equipment and perfect processes dazzled everyone.
"This remote consultation system is very good.
"Zhou Feng walked to Pei Song,"He can be our key reference.
Pei Song nodded, his eyes always fixed on the monitoring screen in front of him: "Yes, especially this data analysis module, which is very helpful in discovering abnormalities in a timely manner."
"You look very carefully.
"Zhou Feng smiled,"Such a rigorous attitude is rare.
Pei Song looked up at him, smiled politely, and then lowered his head to continue recording.
This kind of ambiguous attitude made Zhou Feng's eyes flash with a hint of loss.
At lunch time, Zhou Feng deliberately chose a seat by the window.
"The laksa in this restaurant is good," he recommended, "would you like to try it?"
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou.
Pei Song nodded slightly, but his eyes fell on his notebook, continuing to copy the morning's records.
"We have to go to the smart nursing home this afternoon," Zhou Feng said, "I'll go with you."
"No thanks, Mr. Zhou.
"Pei Song raised his head and said calmly," If you have other plans, you can go first. I can go by myself. ”
Zhou Feng wanted to say something, but looking at Pei Song's polite and distant expression, he ended up saying nothing.
