Chapter 125 Feigning Weakness
Kenneth Fok really couldn't understand why his mother had to leave Hong Kong and go to the fishing village. Wasn't this just making a living without any real hardship?
"I'm working, what do you need?" Fang Lanxin's tone was somewhat impatient.
She didn't understand what was wrong with the child, or why he was talking to her like that.
Huo Qibang then realized that his attitude was a bit off and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mom, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that I... Tianle, Tianle misses you so much!"
"Okay, I'll bring him a gift back. I'm busy, I'll hang up now." Fang Lanxin replied casually and hung up the phone.
The Huo family mansion.
Huo Qibang felt extremely uncomfortable looking at the phone that had been hung up. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he looked at Lin Meiling beside him with a wronged expression.
Lin Meiling originally wanted to say a few more words to Fang Lanxin, but now that the phone had been hung up, her face turned ugly. She said irritably, "What kind of attitude is that? You finally managed to call your mother, and you didn't even ask how she was eating or sleeping over there. I heard the conditions there are very harsh. Your mother has never suffered. You don't even care about her!"
Huo Qibang originally wanted to show some concern for his mother, but he never expected things to turn out this way. In fact, he was going to ask her about it anyway, but he didn't get the chance!
Seeing Lin Meiling looking at him with reproach, Huo Qibang felt very aggrieved and said sullenly, "You saw my mother's attitude. I didn't have time at all!"
"I didn't see my mother's attitude, but I did see yours. Your attitude towards my mother was not good." Lin Meiling didn't say anything more. After saying this, she took Tianle's little hand and walked upstairs.
Tianle was also a little sulky: "Dad is so strange, I didn't even have a chance to talk to Grandma!"
"Grandma said she'll be back for New Year's Eve dinner, so don't worry, you'll see her soon, and you can say whatever you want to her then."
Lin Meiling smiled gently and soothed her son.
Three days passed quickly, and Fang Lanxin finally received definite news that Village Chief Lin was willing to cooperate with her.
Soon, Fang Lanxin swiftly purchased all the necessary equipment and transported it to Liucun.
Village Chief Lin was initially a little apprehensive about this collaboration, fearing that Fang Lanxin, a woman, wouldn't be able to handle so many troublesome matters. However, he never expected Fang Lanxin to be so efficient!
As he watched the equipment being transported in, he even felt as if he could already see the bright future of Liucun.
"Mr. Fang, don't worry, I will definitely work hard!"
Village Chief Lin immediately looked at Fang Lanxin with a smile, as if the person who had previously looked down on her for being a woman was not him at all.
Lin Hu smiled sheepishly at Fang Lanxin, "President Fang, you are truly amazing!"
"I'll leave this part to you, Sixth Village."
"Village Chief Lin, I believe in you, you can definitely do it well."
Fang Lanxin smiled, then looked at Lin Hu.
"The New Year is just around the corner. You can stay here and take the construction team back after the New Year."
"If you do well, you'll get a promotion and a raise."
Fang Lanxin is never stingy, especially towards people with strong work abilities; she is very generous to them.
As she spoke, Fang Lanxin handed Lin Hu a large red envelope, saying, "Happy New Year in advance, this is your year-end bonus."
"No, no, Mr. Fang, this is far too valuable."
"I cannot accept it."
Lin Hu felt flattered and even felt that if he really accepted the money, he would be immoral.
"You don't need to feel too much pressure. Don't worry, everyone gets this. When the architecture students left, they also received big red envelopes."
Fang Lanxin suddenly laughed out loud. This child is really honest.
After hearing this, Lin Hu accepted the red envelope with embarrassment: "Thank you, Mr. Fang. I also wish you a happy new year and great fortune!"
"Um."
Fang Lanxin nodded, patted Lin Hu on the shoulder, turned around and strode away.
The New Year is just around the corner, and the whole fishing village is filled with a strong festive atmosphere. Everywhere is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and some villages are even holding sacrificial ceremonies.
Fang Lanxin really couldn't stay this year, otherwise she really wanted to experience the New Year celebrations in the fishing village.
After returning home, Fang Lanxin looked at Cheng Yan and asked, "The company has already started its holiday break. What are your plans?"
"I don't want to go home, I want to go back to school." After thinking about it, Cheng Yan still felt that staying was probably not a good idea, and that she should go back to school.
Hearing this, Fang Lanxin looked at her helplessly: "Silly girl, the school is not open during the New Year. If you don't mind, come home with me. Our Huo family is big and wealthy and won't miss you!"
"May I?"
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"
Cheng Yan looked at Fang Lanxin somewhat awkwardly.
"It won't be a problem, it's fine."
"Pack your things, it's time to go back."
Fang Lanxin smiled and began packing her things.
"Alan, you're too heartless! Are you going to leave me all alone?" Guan Yu walked in, looking travel-worn, and immediately hugged Fang Lanxin from behind after seeing her start packing her things: "I don't care, take me back with you!"
Fang Lanxin glanced at him, sighed helplessly, and then said, "Ahem, you go back to your home, you can't come home with me!"
"Why?" Guan Yu was getting anxious. "My family is thinking about how to beat me up every day. I'm not going back!"
Fang Lanxin rolled her eyes at him. Has this guy become addicted to faking illness and playing the victim lately?
She looked at Guan Yu with disdain: "My dear Guan Yu, can you please not be so weak?"
"Alan, I don't want to be separated from you, I can't bear to part with you." Guan Erye didn't deny that he was pretending to be weak. He looked at Fang Lanxin with pleading eyes, kissed her, and said softly, "Will you come back for a business trip after the New Year?"
"It should take about three months for things to get back to normal here, so I'll be coming over after the New Year." Fang Lanxin looked at Guan Erye and smiled slightly: "And you, how's the dock situation going?"
Fang Lanxin has invested in this dock, so we should definitely inquire about its progress.
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu rolled his eyes at Fang Lanxin and muttered, "You only care about financial statements, don't you?"
