Chapter 215 I Only Want You
She quickly took the drawing, looked down, and saw a string of unfamiliar symbols.
"Director Guo, did the other party send you a sample garment?"
Guo Yanlong rubbed his hands together and shook his head.
"We gave it to them, but our people can't understand a single word of it, it's like gibberish!"
Is it in English?
Zhou Shufen pressed for an answer.
"Nobody in the trading company knows how to do this?"
"No, no."
Guo Yanlong was so anxious that he slapped his thigh repeatedly, raising his voice several decibels.
"It's that foreign manager; he wants to come to our factory in person to take a look!"
He has never even looked closely at what a foreigner looks like in his entire life.
Just hearing that the other party was coming made me so nervous that I couldn't sleep at night.
When are you coming?
Zhou Shufen asked calmly.
"Two weeks later."
Guo Yanlong answered.
"They said they would come to Yuxin first for an inspection, and then discuss the contract."
"My two kids are studying in Beijing, and they'll be back for vacation in about two weeks."
Zhou Shufen said softly.
What a coincidence!
Guo Yanlong raised an eyebrow.
"The foreign manager will arrive in Yuxin in half a month."
He paused, his voice lowering slightly.
"They said they just wanted to see how accurate our factory could be. After all, it's not easy to travel back and forth to Gangcheng."
It turned out that the foreign manager was intentionally testing the factory's actual translation and comprehension abilities.
"become!"
Zhou Shufen readily agreed, her eyes resolute.
"I'll call Lijuan and Changyu right now and tell them not to delay their holiday and to come back as soon as possible!"
Lijuan's foreign language skills are sufficient.
She studied at the School of Foreign Languages.
She has no problem with listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and daily communication is a piece of cake.
Changyu, on the other hand, is at the top level in the entire province.
She scored full marks in the college entrance examination in English and also won the national college English speech championship during her university years.
Zhou Shufen stayed at the garment factory all day and didn't go out again.
She only does one thing.
To draw.
She grew up in a Western-style school, and her talent for drawing was already ingrained in her bones.
She excels at watercolor, sketching, and quick sketching.
In her past life, she married Zhou Dajun and was preoccupied with household chores every day. How could she have the mind to think about these things?
Those paintbrushes and paints had long been locked away in the deepest part of the cabinet.
She is free for the rest of her life; she no longer has to be subservient to others.
She can do things according to her own wishes and gradually unleash her talents.
As soon as she finished drawing the first picture, she immediately pulled the pattern maker along.
The two of them plunged into the workshop and worked around the clock to produce sample garments.
She didn't rest for a single day during her entire week back in Yuxin.
During the day, I visit factories; at night, I check the accounts.
Sometimes I would stay up late at night revising design drafts at my desk.
Her eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night, but she didn't utter a sound.
Zhou Shufen is that kind of person.
Once you've set your sights on a goal, you'll never give up until you achieve it.
If Guo Zhenyi hadn't called, she would have almost forgotten about Ningcheng.
"Shufen, it's been so long, and you haven't even sent a telegram?"
Guo Zhenyi sounded somewhat aggrieved on the other end of the phone.
"Oh, Zhenyi, I've been so busy, I forgot as soon as I turned my head! You know how I am when I'm busy I can't think of anything else."
Her tone softened.
"Be magnanimous and forgive me this time, okay? In a few days, I'll personally go to Ningcheng and bring you authentic rice noodle rolls, shrimp dumplings, and roast goose to make it up to you!"
"I don't eat those."
Guo Zhenyi's voice was low.
"I only want you."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shufen's heart skipped a beat.
She quickly covered the microphone and looked around.
The office was empty, and the corridor was deserted.
He then lowered his voice.
"Zhenyi, I do miss you a little."
"Just 'a little'?"
His voice was tinged with laughter.
Do you even believe what you're saying?
"I think about it whenever I have free time, which is why I dare not be idle."
Her voice grew softer and softer, and her cheeks burned.
"Whenever I have a moment to myself, all I can think about is you... so I can only work like crazy."
"Shufen, no matter how busy you are, you have to think of me."
His tone became more serious, with a hint of coquetry.
"Otherwise, I really will go back to find you. Don't think I'm a nuisance then."
Aren't you busy?
She couldn't help but ask, her voice tinged with heartache.
"Busy."
He sighed, then smiled.
"Even if you're busy, does that mean you'll forget about your wife?"
"You... I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to get to work!"
She was flustered by his words and hurriedly made an excuse to hang up.
Just kidding.
He chuckled softly, his tone softening.
"By the way, Yu Fan is getting married. Can you not go back? Yu Jie and I are going back to Yu Xin together in a few days. We can get our marriage certificate while we're there."
"So fast?"
She froze for a moment, her heart racing even faster.
"What's wrong?"
He countered with a question tinged with feigned anger.
"What have I done to displease you? Don't you want to be my wife sooner?"
"No, no, really no..."
She quickly waved her hand.
"It's just that I'm too busy with my business here, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the family and will be a burden to you..."
"Shufen, how many times have I told you?"
His tone became serious.
"I love you, but that doesn't mean I'll keep you locked up at home like a pretty vase. You are still you, do whatever you want, and I'll support you to the end. Don't feel like you owe anyone anything, and don't wrong yourself for my sake."
Guo Zhenyi believes that if two people are truly in love, they don't necessarily have to be together every day.
He runs a trade business in Ningcheng, while she runs a factory in Yuxin.
They each have their own careers and their own worlds.
He would return to Yuxin whenever he had free time, and if he didn't, he would make a phone call or write a letter.
Even just hearing her voice brings me peace of mind.
He was used to this kind of life.
"Okay! Once my second brother's business is finished, we'll go get our marriage certificate!"
Zhou Shufen bit her lip, her tone crisp and decisive.
She put down the microphone, and her whole demeanor lightened.
She rushed to the daily necessities factory as soon as the garment factory finished its work.
This factory belongs to the Zhou family.
It used to be an old factory that made soap and toothpaste.
After she took over, she gradually introduced new equipment and developed new products.
Now there are multiple product lines, including toothbrushes, shampoos, and soaps.
Zhou Yufan and Li Huachen both work at the factory.
Zhou Yufan checks the production progress of a new batch of soap in the workshop.
Li Huachen was in the quality inspection area.
He was looking down at the standard manual, making notes stroke by stroke.
Zhou Yufan originally wanted her to stay home and enjoy her retirement.
But after wandering around Yu Xincheng for two days, she felt incredibly bored.
He then insisted on going to work.
She knew in her heart that Zhou Yufan treated her well and was willing to support her for the rest of her life.
But she also needs to have her own backbone.
Zhou Yufan knew what she was thinking and tried to persuade her for two whole days.
No matter how sincere he was, Li Huachen just wouldn't budge.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Shufen thought for a moment and decided to let her learn to manage accounts and warehouses.
The family business gradually got on track, and the account books kept increasing.
The warehouse also needs someone to look after it, and we happen to be short-handed.
Letting Li Huachen take charge will not only help her, but also make her feel like she has something to do.
Li Huachen's eyes lit up when she heard this.
She has been good with numbers since she was a child, and she is particularly good at writing and calculating.
Now that she has the opportunity to manage the accounts and learn new things, how could she not be happy?
On an auspicious day, Zhou Yufan got up as soon as it was light.
He specially changed into a freshly washed white shirt and put on a navy blue Zhongshan suit over it.
Holding Li Huachen's hand, we walked towards the subdistrict office.
The procedures went very smoothly.
When the marriage certificate was handed to them, they both looked down at it for a long time.
