After stepping through the imposing main gate, Mo Yuan turned around and said sincerely to Li Wenjie, "Secretary Li, thank you so much this time." Inside, Mo Yuan had already expressed his gratitude to Hao Fengshan, but now, he not only wanted to thank Hao Fengshan, but also Li Wenjie. After all, the entire operation relied on Li Wenjie's efforts!
Li Wenjie still wore that kind and friendly smile, waved his hand and said, "Hey, we don't need to be so polite in private now. I'm a few years older than you, just call me Brother Li, don't be so formal!" As he spoke, the two of them laughed.
As they were about to part, Li Wenjie patted Mo Yuan on the shoulder with great enthusiasm and assured him, "Brother Mo Yuan, don't worry, I will definitely inquire about this matter as soon as possible. In my opinion, it won't be long before I get a definite answer. When that time comes, I will definitely let you know the news immediately!"
Having noticed Hao Fengshan's unusual attitude towards Mo Yuan, Li Wenjie naturally knew how he should interact with Mo Yuan in the most appropriate way.
Mo Yuan was well aware of the intricacies of the matter. He smiled and waved to Li Wenjie, replying, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Li. In a few days, I will definitely host a banquet to treat you to a good meal, to express my gratitude for your tireless efforts and travels!"
After they finished speaking, the two said their goodbyes. Mo Yuan looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was still high and it was still early. So, he strolled leisurely along the way, looking around and enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
Unlike smaller county towns like Xiangcheng County, Shanghai today, though not yet the dazzling and highly developed metropolis it would later be known as the "Magic City," is already one of the most prominent metropolises in China.
Leaving aside other aspects, the bustling streets and vibrant cityscape alone far surpass those of Xiangcheng County. The economy here is also more advanced and prosperous than that of Xiangcheng County, with a dazzling array of shops lining the streets, and merchants constantly hawking various goods.
Moreover, almost every street has unique food stalls or restaurants, with fragrant aromas that attract passersby to stop and linger.
To better experience the unique local atmosphere, Mo Yuan specifically chose to explore small shops located in remote corners.
He strolled around, his keen eyes spotting many items that caught his eye, and he bought them without hesitation whenever he saw something he liked.
Not only that, he also thoughtfully bought a set of scarves for Lin Xue and her mother-in-law.
Although these scarves are not priceless, the salesperson explained that they are made of brand-new fabric that came from the distant Guangdong region.
After examining it carefully, Mo Yuan found that it was indeed as he had said. This novel fabric was rare in the current environment. He couldn't help but think to himself: After experiencing the impact of the reform and opening up, the South has indeed taken the lead in embarking on the road of rapid development.
Not only have remarkable achievements been made in the economic field, but people's livelihoods have also undergone tremendous changes.
They've moved beyond just material possessions and are now pursuing a more refined lifestyle!
If one were in Xiangcheng County, such a novel thing would be unimaginable. Before they knew it, it was noon, and Mo Yuan casually found a place to have a simple lunch.
After lunch, I strolled leisurely along the street for a while longer.
After about an hour or two, I felt it was about time, so I decided to head home.
Following the route he remembered, Mo Yuan first walked to a nearby bus stop and then transferred to two buses on different routes. Along the way, he admired the beautiful scenery of the city gradually being enveloped by night through the bus window, feeling a mix of emotions.
After a long and winding journey, Mo Yuan finally arrived home as dusk was falling. Suddenly, he noticed a familiar figure standing at the door. The figure seemed anxious, pacing back and forth. As Mo Yuan approached and took a closer look, he realized it was Lin Xue waiting for his return.
The moment Mo Yuan saw Lin Xue, a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He noticed that Lin Xue looked slightly tired, but her eyes revealed deep concern for him.
Mo Yuan quickly stepped forward, took Lin Xue's hand tightly, and asked in an exceptionally gentle tone, "Darling, I'm back. Did I keep you waiting? I'm so sorry. Actually, I had already taken care of everything today, but then I thought I had some free time, so I just wandered around the streets for a while. If I had known you were waiting for me at home, I definitely would have come back sooner..."
However, before Mo Yuan could finish speaking, Lin Xue interrupted him with a smile: "It's alright, it's good that you're back safe and sound. I just came out myself, let's not linger here, let's go inside!"
"With that, Lin Xue gently took Mo Yuan's arm, the two smiled at each other, and walked into the house together.
