Wu Changfeng grabbed the phone and, in a harsh tone, said:
"Ms. Liu, why aren't you back yet? The factory can't function properly without you!"
Wu Changfeng glanced at Gu Yuanming, who was yawning, out of the corner of his eye.
With him around, you have to be careful about your status when you speak.
Willow's slightly weary voice came through: "I have some things to take care of here, I can't go back for the time being..."
"What's wrong?" Wu Changfeng's heart skipped a beat.
I thought this guy had forgotten the return date.
Is there something else going on now?
Wu Changfeng had no way of guessing.
Willow said, "I can't get away for now, don't worry about it, I'll try to get back as soon as possible."
Wu Changfeng said earnestly, "The factory will start production tomorrow. In a few days, I'll be going to the window city to find sales channels, and I'd like you to guide me."
Willow naturally understood his meaning.
All talk of leading the way is nonsense.
I just wanted to go out and broaden my horizons.
Willow said, "It's a pity, we won't make it this time."
Wu Changfeng frowned: "Are you short of money?"
"I don't need it, you've given me plenty."
"Personal safety?"
"No, no, I'm at home, how could such a thing happen?"
Wu Changfeng remained silent for a long time. Since the willow branch didn't speak up to explain the reason, it wasn't convenient for him to ask.
He then said, "I'm glad you're alright. We'll be waiting for you to come back."
Willow gave a faint "hmm" on the other end of the phone.
"Oh, right," Wu Changfeng said again, "write down my phone number and give me your address. I'll visit you when I'm done with this."
The two sides exchanged information.
Wu Changfeng hung up the phone.
Gu Yuanming squeezed in and asked, "What instructions does Ms. Liu have? Is there some change in the plan, calling at this hour?"
Wu Changfeng put away the note and waved his hand: "Family feuds and endless disputes are common among the wealthy. You should know that large families have a lot of troubles. It won't affect the development of the factory here."
Gu Yuanming breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, you'll have to pay more attention."
Wu Changfeng tightened his coat and walked home.
The streetlights lengthened Wu Changfeng's shadow.
He fell into deep thought.
The willow branch was clearly trapped by its family.
That's true. A young girl running around outside all day, how could the neighbors possibly have anything good to say about her?
It's probably because of rumors that willow branches are involved in some shady, risk-free business.
Wu Changfeng couldn't help but think of his predecessor's hometown, Guanshan Town.
His parents were still alive, and he had many siblings, but his predecessor was the worst off.
If I go back to Guanshan Town, won't those women at the village entrance say that I "just came out"?
Public opinion is a powerful force, and this applies to willow branches as well.
Wu Changfeng shook his head, trying to clear the jumbled thoughts from his mind.
Let's ignore the willow branch for now.
The factory will officially start operations tomorrow. Then I'll hurry up and make a trip to the provincial capital, followed by taking the samples to the window city to participate in the Canton Fair!
This exhibition is an extremely important event for inland foreign trade.
Manufacturers with some strength from all over the country flock here to showcase their products and facilitate transactions with foreign buyers.
Foreigners will also be invited to come and select products that can be sold all over the world and place orders.
This is the key reason why Wu Changfeng dared to make a guarantee to Jiangcheng City in Chishui County.
Back home.
Lin Xiaoru's pretty face was cold, and she snorted, "Finished talking?"
Wu Changfeng was baffled: "Huh? What's over?"
"Ms. Liu!" Lin Xiaoru said, "You're calling so late at night, couldn't hold it in anymore?"
Wu Changfeng chuckled: "The air in this room is a bit stuffy. You should clean it more often."
"What are you talking about? Don't change the subject."
“I mean,” Wu Changfeng reached out and lifted Lin Xiaoru’s chin, “I smell a strong odor of pickled cabbage.”
"Pooh!"
Lin Xiaoru blushed slightly: "I'm not jealous! Wait, answer my question, who is Ms. Liu? If you can't explain, you're sleeping on the sofa tonight!"
Wu Changfeng chuckled, "If I sleep on the sofa, won't your bed be cold?"
"What's so cold about this hot summer day!"
“The cold of emptiness and loneliness.” Wu Changfeng said with a provocative expression.
Lin Xiaoru's ears burned; how could she resist such flirting!
She angrily punched the fist: "Tell me right now!"
Wu Changfeng spoke frankly and without any attempt to conceal his identity: "He is a manager in my factory. Back then, Liu Tiao was in charge of most of the work on the fishbone antenna."
"Why a woman? Why not a man?"
Wu Changfeng said leisurely, "No man is as outstanding as me!"
"What a lame excuse!" Lin Xiaoru was a little displeased, but quickly recovered: "Let me tell you, I'm devoted to you, so don't be fickle!"
Wu Changfeng shoved Lin Xiaoru to the ground and leaned in, saying, "Look at what you're saying. You've taken all my bullets. How can I have the energy to eliminate the enemy?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Xiaoru placed her hands on her chest, her hands trembling slightly.
"If you want to become a soldier, you have to practice shooting a lot."
Wu Changfeng raised his eyebrows: "Come on, let's head to the battlefield."
"No, let me go..." Lin Xiaoru said coyly, her face as red as burning coals.
The moon was high and the stars were few; only the sound of a house could be heard.
An unbelievable conversation was heard:
"Are you convinced?"
"I refuse to accept this!"
"Is it resentment, or submission?"
"Stop asking, hurry up."
"Hurry up with what?"
"I don't know, I give up, I give up!"
"Surrender and you will not be killed!"
"Spare me!"
The next day.
Every time Wu Changfeng finished breakfast, Lin Xiaoru would lean against the wall, slump on the sofa, and doze off with her eyes half-closed.
