Chapter 368
Ji Wanmei began planning this whole scheme two years ago.
She's finally waited for this day; it's time to put away the pieces in this game.
Ji Wanmei called Lei Tingjun and told him that she would be returning to Pingquan in a couple of days to help her father with some factory matters.
For the past six months, Lei Tingjun has focused his work on commercial promotion in the development zone.
Thanks to the strong support and cooperation of the municipal government, the publicity and promotion efforts have been quite effective. Driven by the economic popularity of the wholesale market, several surrounding commercial streets are also gradually taking shape.
The influx of visitors from the north and south, along with local merchants, has boosted the local economy, leading to a surge in demand for food and accommodation. The soon-to-be-completed residential area has now become the most sought-after property in Xikai District.
When this residential area was first developed, Lei Tingjun reserved a piece of land for himself.
This plot of land is located on the east side of the residential area, bordering the forest park behind it. The location is both quiet and convenient, and he designed a detached house here.
A front yard and a back garden, a two-story building, a traditional Chinese courtyard, a quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle—this is the home Lei Tingjun designed for him and Ji Wanmei's future.
This is the first time in a long time that the Thunder team has used the boss's influence to plan for themselves.
Just like A-Qiang built a house in Pingquan County a long time ago and got married to Zhu Shuangyan more than a year ago.
Ah Qiang was arguably the first among his group of brothers to get married.
The couple held their wedding banquet in their hometown of Pingquan County.
It was quite a lively affair; Lei Tingjun even went back for the wedding banquet on A-Qiang's wedding day.
Many of his good friends from the company went that day, and the scene was very lively.
As the bride Zhu Shuangyan's direct superior, Ji Xingguo was naturally a guest of honor at the wedding. Ji Wanmei was also invited back to attend and served as Zhu Shuangyan's bridesmaid.
That day marked the first meeting between Ji Xingguo and Lei Tingjun since their last encounter at the Pingdong City Railway Station.
Everyone got along very peacefully, without any sullen faces, but also without being overly affectionate. They were just like neighbors, eating and drinking as usual at the banquet.
However, later that day, Ji Xingguo was in a good mood and was offered a few more drinks. When Lei Tingjun went over to toast him with his glass, Ji Xingguo also drank.
Ji Wanmei was sitting next to Lei Tingjun at the time, and she secretly winked at him.
In fact, the romantic relationship between Ji Wanmei and Lei Tingjun had long been an open secret in the eyes of these insiders.
Everyone knew the truth, but Director Ji just wouldn't admit it.
In the blink of an eye, it's been almost a year since A-Qiang got married. Last time I heard A-Qiang say that his wife is pregnant and will probably give birth next year.
Lei Tingjun has also built his and Ji Wanmei's future home. He has been waiting for more than two years, and this day is finally coming.
On the weekend, Ji Wanmei drove back to Pingquan by herself.
Why do we say she drove herself?
This car was a birthday gift from Lei Tingjun to her this year.
A silver Santana, the total price of which was ordered was 135,000.
Initially, Ji Wanmei did not approve of buying it. She felt that their careers were still on the rise, and it was unnecessary to spend tens of thousands of yuan on a car.
Besides, she felt that she didn't need to use the car much.
But the Thunder were adamant about buying it no matter what.
Now that Ji Wanmei has started a clothing factory, she has to travel between the clothing processing factory and the two directly operated stores in the city center every few days, which makes it very inconvenient to take a taxi.
Moreover, she sometimes has to go back to her hometown of Pingquan or go to other places to purchase raw fabrics and bring them back.
She travels to many places and often needs to make purchases. Whether she's alone or with an assistant, Lei Tingjun is not comfortable letting her travel outside. However, he can't be by her side all the time, so the only solution is to buy her a car so she can drive it herself, which is both convenient and safe.
Besides, Ji Wanmei is about to graduate, and her current schedule is practically no different from starting work. She will only need a car more and more in the future, so she might as well buy a car sooner rather than later.
Ji Wanmei didn't insist any further, and the two of them went to choose the car together.
Now it's my final year of university, and there are hardly any courses left. It's basically just doing some final presentations and writing one or two papers.
Ji Wanmei spends very little time at school now, and lives off-campus more often.
In fact, starting from the six months of preparing for the clothing brand, Ji Wanmei basically moved to live in the attic.
Because Lei Tingjun rarely comes back to stay now, this small attic has become Ji Wanmei's usual place to live.
Later, she hired two students from the school who shared her passion for design to join her team, and Ji Wanmei simply turned the small attic into a studio that served as both a rest and a workspace.
Ji Wanmei also brought Zhou Min into her startup team. Zhou Min's work style is just like her name: cautious, sharp, and steady. She is good at financial management, which is also her major.
In the early stages of the clothing brand's preparation, Ji Wanmei asked her to be the 'financial director' of her small team, as a way to give her experience for future work.
Zhou Min, of course, felt it was her duty to do so.
After Ji Wanmei set this precedent, everyone jokingly called Zhou Min "Director Zhou" when they saw her.
At these times, Zhou Min would solemnly adjust her glasses and say, "Everyone, get back to work."
Then the people in the studio burst into laughter, saying that Zhou Min, at such a young age, had perfectly captured the aura of a director.
Ji Wanmei drove back home on the weekend, leaving the studio's affairs to Zhou Min and the others.
