The man riding the bicycle in front had a gentle smile softening his usually stern features.
Lei Tingjun rode his bicycle with Ji Wanmei to the lake, parked the bike on the lawn, and the two sat down by the lake.
There is a railway not far away across the street.
Occasionally, a green train will rumble by.
Looking up, they saw blue skies and white clouds overhead, a clear lake in front of them, a verdant lawn beneath them, and a train slowly passing by opposite them.
Ji Wanmei rested her head on Lei Tingjun's shoulder and suddenly realized that this man, who always spoke less and did more, actually had a romantic streak deep down.
It was a romance he gave Ji Wanmei all of his own.
It wasn't something built with money, nor was it a collection of beautiful words and phrases deliberately chosen to cater to her tastes.
Instead, he silently did everything he could to give her the best he could offer.
Ji Wanmei will never forget this moment.
He sat facing south to shield her from the glaring sun, because he noticed that Ji Wanmei was delicate and afraid of the sun; her cheeks would turn red after being in the sun for only a short time.
Ji Wanmei placed her hand next to his. In comparison, his skin was dark and shiny, while hers was so white it seemed to glow.
"Lei Tingjun, have you been very tired lately? I see you've gotten a tan again."
"Not tiring. I'm just sitting in the car, it's actually much easier than working in the factory before," Lei Tingjun said. "It's just that I have to get up early in the morning, but it's cooler to get up early in the summer. After I finish driving early, we can have a beer together in the workshop in the evening."
Lei Tingjun took out a receipt from his pocket and handed it to Ji Wanmei: "Last week, A-Qiang and I went to pick up another scrap metal job. After deducting miscellaneous expenses, we still had 12,000 yuan left. I kept 2,000 yuan on me for backup, and here is 10,000 yuan, which I deposited into the account."
Ji Wanmei sat up, took the stub he handed her, and said in surprise, "You've only been back for a week, and you've already earned so much?"
"Could you tell me in detail the procedures for your building materials waste business?" Ji Wanmei asked curiously.
Lei Tingjun didn't hide anything from Ji Wanmei, and explained the whole process and operation to her in detail in just a few words.
After listening, Ji Wanmei felt an indescribable shock, mixed with complex emotions.
What shocked her was Lei Tingjun's keen ability; what touched her was that she had no idea in her previous life that Lei Tingjun had already shown his talent in the transportation team so early on.
What complicated her situation was...
If it weren't for her in his past life, Lei Tingjun would have been successful long ago.
She now realizes that what he sacrificed for her was not just ten years in prison, but also his future and his prospects.
This man, in both his lives, has been like this, silently doing so much for her, yet never letting her know.
As Ji Wanmei thought about it, her eyes reddened again, but this time she didn't cry.
She looked at the receipt for a while, thought for a moment, and said, "Lei Tingjun, take this money back. After you get back, double the size of your transport team. Hire more workers and drivers. Then contact that brick factory in your hometown that you mentioned, and also find a steel rebar factory to cooperate with."
“Initially, you can help Fangyuan Construction Company with building material transportation and waste recycling. But next, you need to set your sights on steel bar factories and government-approved land.”
"In two years, many cities in our country will begin to see large-scale construction, especially in the real estate sector. More and more migrant workers will move to cities, and the demand for housing will increase."
"In the future, housing will no longer be allocated solely by work units and factories; commercial housing built by private construction companies will become the mainstream in cities."
"And you can seize this opportunity and establish your own real estate construction company in the future."
Ji Wanmei carefully placed the stub into Lei Tingjun's hand: "I believe you can do it."
Lei Tingjun listened thoughtfully.
He often heard Zhao Yingda talking on the phone about these businesses, as if real estate companies were starting to emerge in the coastal areas.
Ji Wanmei slowly leaned forward and gently stroked his face.
Lei Tingjun, in your past life, because of me, you sacrificed your career, your life, and your happiness.
In this lifetime, I will return all of these things to you, one by one.
May it help your career flourish, bring you a fulfilling life, and bring happiness to your family.
Her fingers gently touched his lips, her eyelashes trembled, and Lei Tingjun's deep gaze fell on her full, rosy lips.
Finally, unable to resist, he leaned down and kissed her.
