"Big sister, your improved proposal is really amazing. I don't know the current situation of this factory, but I find that you have handled all the intricacies very meticulously. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have thought of these things."
Hearing this series of praises and affirmations, Zhao Nianmeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a faint smile on her face.
"That's good!"
After saying that, she personally poured Jiang Sheng a bowl of soup: "I don't usually cook, but I made old hen soup today. Drink more to nourish your body. You've been so busy lately."
"Thank you, big sister."
Jiang Sheng readily accepted the chicken soup and continued chatting and laughing with his older sister.
As for Zhao Defu, he also woke up at this time.
When he opened the door, he smelled the aroma of chicken soup. Looking up, he saw that Zhao Nianmeng and Jiang Sheng were already sitting at the dining table eating.
"Defu, get up! Hurry up and get ready for dinner!"
Seeing Zhao Defu get up, Zhao Nianmeng greeted him with a smile.
Zhao Defu quickly put on a smile, then glanced at Jiang Sheng with a somewhat distant look.
"Brother Sheng, you got up so early without even waking me up so I could have gotten up early to help with the cooking!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but glare at Zhao Defu with a smile, and retorted mercilessly, "Who doesn't know that you're staying at our house just to eat Second Sister's cooking? And you even help with the cooking? Come on."
Zhao Defu's expression became even more mournful. Just as he was about to say something, Zhao Nianmeng couldn't help but laugh and speak up from the side.
"Xiaosheng is just joking with you. He was thinking that you had a head injury, so he wanted you to sleep a little longer and didn't wake you up."
Zhao Defu quickly chuckled and said, "Brother Sheng still cares about me the most!"
As they were talking, Zhao Defu had already arrived at the restroom. After quickly tidying himself up, brushing his teeth and washing his face, he sat down next to Jiang Sheng.
"By the way, why haven't I seen my second sister?"
Zhao Defu was unaware that Zhao Xuehui had worked overtime the previous night, so he couldn't help but feel curious when he saw her absent from the dinner table.
So Jiang Sheng gave a brief explanation, and Zhao Defu responded with an "oh," while also marveling at the food on the table.
"Although I can't eat my second sister's cooking anymore, my eldest sister's cooking is just as delicious. I'm going to dig in!"
The three were chatting and laughing when the phone in the room suddenly rang.
Jiang Sheng was closest to the phone, so he put down his chopsticks and stood up.
"You guys eat first, I'm going to take this call."
After saying that, Jiang Sheng had already walked to the phone. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar landline number, he frowned slightly, picked up the receiver, and answered the call.
"Hello, who is this?"
As soon as Jiang Sheng finished speaking, a slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding somewhat familiar.
"I'm Sun Daqiang," the other person said, their voice tinged with trepidation. "Are you a friend of Brother Defu?"
Sun Daqiang?
Upon hearing this name, Jiang Sheng subconsciously recalled the person Zhao Defu had mentioned to him a couple of days ago who came looking for a job.
Isn't that person's name?
Jiang Sheng was somewhat surprised, not expecting the other party to call today.
"That's right, I'm Jiang Sheng. Defu is eating right now. Do you want to talk to him?"
Jiang Sheng assumed the other party was looking for Zhao Defu, and blurted out those words without thinking.
"No, it's not necessary..."
The other person's voice still carried a hint of shyness and embarrassment: "I... I wanted to say that I've already arrived in Yanjing City. I wonder where your home is, brother..."
Have you arrived in Yanjing City so quickly?
While Jiang Sheng was still in shock, Zhao Defu, who had heard Jiang Sheng's voice, came over.
"Are you looking for me?"
Zhao Defu silently opened his mouth and made a mouth movement, and Jiang Sheng nodded and immediately turned on the speakerphone.
"Then wait a moment, don't move around at the station, Defu and I will come to pick you up now."
"Okay, okay, thank you, brother."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Zhao Defu became excited. Just as he was about to say something, Jiang Sheng hung up the phone.
"Was that a call from Sun Daqiang?"
Zhao Defu quickly moved closer to Jiang Sheng from behind, asking him questions from all sides.
Seeing Jiang Sheng nod, Zhao Defu couldn't help but smile.
"He's arrived in Yanjing City so quickly! Let's hurry and go pick him up!"
Seeing that Zhao Defu was even happier than he was, Jiang Sheng patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't rush, we're not that far from the station. Finish your soup first, then we'll go."
Zhao Defu hadn't even touched the steamed buns in front of him, and he'd only taken two or three sips of soup.
At this moment, Sun Daqiang called, and Zhao Defu couldn't wait to pick him up. It's clear that Zhao Defu was quite sympathetic to Sun Daqiang's plight.
Who called? Was it your friend?
Zhao Nianmeng, unaware of the reason for the visit, asked curiously upon seeing Zhao Defu's joy, "Defu, did your friend come to Yanjing to see you?"
"More or less," Zhao Defu nodded haphazardly. "He came to Yanjing City to seek refuge with us. We'll go and pick him up, and let him find a job in the factory."
Zhao Nianmeng then understood: "Then you should hurry up and go, don't keep them waiting. Since they came to you for help, they must trust you, so treat them well."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng didn't explain much to Zhao Nianmeng. He simply nodded, said "I understand," and left with Zhao Defu. The two of them each rode a bicycle and sped off towards the station.
"Brother Sheng, I think we've made quite a bit of money anyway, why don't we find some time to buy a car?"
While Zhao Defu was happy, he couldn't help but suggest, "We are, after all, factory managers who ride bicycles every day. If something like this happens today, we can't possibly ride bicycles to the station to pick people up, can we?"
Jiang Sheng thought it made sense, but he still shook his head.
"This car isn't as easy to buy as you think. Cars are very expensive in Yanjing. We can put buying a car on the agenda, but we'll have to wait until our cash flow is stable."
"Okay, okay."
Zhao Defu nodded as if he understood, and the two soon arrived at the station.
The station was packed with people. After the two parked their car, they saw a boy standing not far away.
