"Director Gao, it's a pleasure to meet you. Your car is nice. Quite impressive."
Xiao Weiguo was still resentful about what had just happened and made a sarcastic remark in private.
Gao Shaoxiong seemed not to understand the meaning behind his words, and kicked the tire twice, saying, "It's a piece of junk that my brother-in-law discarded, not worth mentioning."
Then, he shrugged his shoulders, pulled his trench coat up a bit, and walked towards Xiao Weiguo.
"What wind blew Chairman Xiao to this wretched place of mine?"
Xiao Weiguo smiled and said, "I ate too much and felt a bit bloated, so I came out for a walk."
"Haha, Chairman, you're just telling the truth. The trucks that come to pick up goods from you are almost lined up at my factory gate. Of course we're full."
Gao Shaoxiong replied sarcastically, then added, "Your business is so good, are you planning to expand production because you don't have enough space?"
Xiao Weiguo was startled and couldn't help but glance at him.
"If I'm not mistaken, the reason the chairman is standing here and not leaving is because he has his eye on this place of mine, right?"
Xiao Weiguo remained noncommittal and did not answer his question, but he had already become more vigilant.
Expanding production and adding production lines was a problem that had just been raised internally, and only he, Wang Xiuhong, and Feng Yukun knew about it.
There was absolutely no way it could have been leaked, but this guy immediately guessed his purpose.
Therefore, it seems that the seemingly arrogant factory director is not as simple as he appears on the surface.
"Oh? Director Gao means you're willing to sell this piece of land? If so, I might consider it."
Xiao Weiguo deliberately asked him a question to see how he would respond.
"Tch, give it up?"
Gao Shaoxiong chuckled.
"Xiao Weiguo, are you dreaming? Putting aside the size of my factory and whether you can even handle it, do you think you can just lay a finger on its background?"
"Since Director Gao has no intention of transferring the business, I won't delay your work any longer."
After saying that, Xiao Weiguo turned and left, ignoring the guy.
Gao Shaoxiong's attitude is now very clear: he won't give up easily. There's no point in continuing to argue with him.
Everything depends on strength. Only when we completely take over this land will he be truly convinced. There's no point in saying anything more now.
Watching Xiao Weiguo walk away slowly with his hands in his pockets, Gao Shaoxiong spat out a curse behind his back.
"They've made a few dirty bucks and now they think they're all that."
After saying that, he got into his car and drove away.
Since he was going to the provincial capital to see Feng Wanlin the next day, Xiao Weiguo rode his bicycle to the state-run department store after get off work to see if he could pick out some local specialties for her.
You can't just show up empty-handed when you need someone's help.
As he was crossing a road, Xiao Weiguo suddenly saw a person wearing a hat walking hurriedly with their head down.
The figure looked somewhat familiar, and upon closer inspection, it was He Shuang, who had been arrested not long ago. Just as Xiao Weiguo was about to confirm again, He Shuang turned a corner and disappeared into an alley.
How did this guy get out so quickly? I think I heard Liu Ye say that he was sentenced to three years, and it's only been two or three months. Why is he here?
Could it be that he had mistaken someone for someone else? Xiao Weiguo began to have doubts.
After wandering around the mall, Xiao Weiguo felt uneasy, with He Shuang's image constantly flashing before his eyes.
After wandering around for a long time without finding anything suitable, Xiao Weiguo had no choice but to give up. Their small place didn't have any famous local specialties.
Given Feng Wanlin's status, it wouldn't be appropriate to give her an expensive gift, so I decided not to buy anything at all. I'll just find a nice restaurant in the provincial capital and treat her to a meal there.
At dinner time, the family gathered at the table to eat.
Grandma has never gone back since she moved here. She's long considered this place her home.
Liu Changhe and his wife often came to visit him, but no matter what, she just refused to go back with them.
After several unsuccessful attempts to call her, they stopped. They were doing quite well there anyway; Xiao Weiguo, her younger siblings, and Liu Ye all treated her like their own grandmother. They made her incredibly happy every day.
The old lady picks up and drops off Xiao Jiang and Xiao Yue from school every day. When Xiao Weiguo is busy, he cooks for them. He is so happy every day, and he seems to have become much younger.
Liu Changhe and his wife saw this and had no worries.
Now, the two families are almost like one.
For Xiao Weiguo, having the old lady help him take care of the family has saved him a lot of trouble.
No wonder people say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.
For example, when it comes to social etiquette or other matters, the old lady can think of things that the younger children wouldn't. She's the one who takes care of everything, big or small, in the family.
This put Xiao Weiguo, who was away from home every day, at ease. He no longer had to worry so much about his younger siblings' food, drink, and daily needs.
At the dinner table, Xiao Jiang and Xiao Yue sat together, chatting excitedly about their school.
The old lady kept serving them food and rice, her eyes full of doting affection as she looked at the two little ones.
Liu Ye and Shan Shan were eating while chatting in hushed tones.
Only Xiao Weiguo was there, holding his rice bowl, slurping food half-heartedly, looking completely distracted.
It was Liu Ye who first noticed something was wrong with him. She nudged Xiao Shanshan with her elbow.
