When Zhang Yu saw that the two Hong Kong businessmen had arrived, he suggested that they stay at the guesthouse as well and follow the group.
However, Zhao Qinglan did not agree, so they continued to stay at Zhao Qinglan's house.
When Li Huai got home from get off work and they were having dinner, he heard them talking about the current situation of various state-owned factories in the province, and he sighed a lot.
His wife and friends couldn't offer much help, so there was even less he could do. All he could do was diligently perform his duties, which he considered his contribution to the people and the country.
Because Wang Dazhi and his group arrived quite late and the time hadn't been clearly stated beforehand, no staff members came to pick them up, and they had to find the guesthouse themselves.
However, upon learning their identities, the guesthouse contacted relevant leaders and arranged for them to stay at the guesthouse.
Wang Dazhi arrived at his daughter's room soon after.
As soon as he sat down, he said, "Xiao Yan, the reason I'm here this time isn't just to let you learn something from me, but we also need to meet someone."
Wang Xiaoyan had already guessed it, but she still pretended to be clueless and asked, "Who are you seeing?"
Wang Dazhi sneered. "Your good stepmother, my ex-wife Zhao Qinglan."
Wang Xiaoyan bit her lip. "Dad, what do I need to do?"
"If it weren't for her, how could I have left my hometown for so many years? And you, how could I have suffered so much?" He gritted his teeth whenever he thought of these things.
Do you hate Zhao Qinglan? Of course Wang Xiaoyan does, and she chimed in with her own hatred, "Dad, if you need anything, I can help."
"That's what Dad means by telling you now."
The father and daughter also talked a lot because of Zhao Qinglan.
Although Zhao Qinglan didn't do any heavy work today, she was still quite tired from accompanying the Hong Kong businessmen around. Not knowing how many days until the two businessmen left, she went to rest early.
Seeing that his wife had fallen asleep quickly, Li Huai kissed her forehead affectionately before covering her with the blanket and going to sleep himself.
In the morning, Song Yi and Zhang Yu had just gotten up when they smelled the aroma of food.
"Qinglan, you need to cook three meals a day properly. Li Huai is really lucky to have such good food." Zhang Yu sat down directly at the table.
Li Huai had already left home for work, so he didn't hear any of the useful jokes.
The children still have a few days before school starts. After breakfast, Zhao Qinglan and Zhang Yu went out, while Song Yi, Xiao Duo, and their twins stayed at home. The older two children went out to play with Cheng Tao.
Because their home was not far from the guesthouse, Zhao Qinglan and Zhang Yu walked there.
“I’m telling you, you really should get a car. What’s the point of saving all that money if you don’t spend it?” Zhang Yu said.
Fortunately, he was dressed warmly enough that he wouldn't get cold even after walking for ten minutes.
“I want to do it too. When you get back to Shenzhen, please keep an eye out for me and see if there are any ways to get it done as soon as possible.”
"Alright, leave it to me. If it doesn't work out in Shenzhen, I'll use my connections in Beijing to get you a car."
Actually, Zhao Qinglan had considered her aunt, but her aunt had only recently been recognized as a relative, and she was worried that if she asked her aunt to help her get a car, her aunt might just wave her off and not even want the money back. Even if her aunt was rich, she didn't want to take advantage of her for nothing.
I wonder when my uncle and aunt will be back.
The two chatted casually until they arrived at the guesthouse.
Mr. Cheng was already waiting there, and greeted them when he saw them.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I ate it, I ate it."
"By the way, two more Hong Kong businessmen came last night."
"Two? Wasn't there only one left?" Zhao Qinglan asked in surprise.
"I asked too, and it seems the extra one is a friend of the Hong Kong businessman who just arrived. But the more the merrier, we'd welcome a few more if they come," Mr. Cheng said with a smile.
“That’s true,” Zhao Qinglan agreed.
They talked for a while at the entrance of the guesthouse, and then several Hong Kong businessmen and their entourage came in one after another.
Breakfast was delivered by the staff, and although they tried their best, some people were still not satisfied.
"Is everyone here?" a leader asked.
Mr. Cheng looked carefully and said in a low voice, "We're still missing one person, the extra Hong Kong businessman who just arrived last night."
The leader glanced at his watch before saying, "Then let's wait a bit longer. Send someone over to check, just in case they don't know."
After waiting a few more minutes, those who hadn't arrived finally came.
"I'm sorry to have kept everyone waiting. I, Wang, would like to apologize to everyone." Wang Dazhi, wearing a coat and a hat, approached with a smile, accompanied by his well-dressed daughter, Wang Xiaoyan.
Everyone looked towards the speaker, and when they saw who it was, Zhao Qinglan's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Wang Dazhi," she called out.
Wang Dazhi smiled and looked over. "What did you say, lady? Have you mistaken me for someone else? My name is Wang Zhicheng."
After saying that, he introduced the person next to him to everyone. "This is the little queen, Anne."
Wang Xiaoyan gave everyone a gentle smile.
How could I forget what Wang Zhicheng and Wang Anni looked like?
No one else knew what was going on, but Zhang Yu was also extremely shocked.
Seeing Zhao Qinglan's flustered state, Cheng's father walked over and asked in a low voice, "Comrade Qinglan, what's wrong?"
Zhao Qinglan took a deep breath to calm herself down a bit. "I have some grudges with this person. We'll talk about it in detail later."
Mr. Cheng also raised his eyebrows in surprise, but with so many leaders and other Hong Kong businessmen present, he knew that the overall situation was more important, so he went back.
When Zhao Qinglan looked over again, she saw her ex-husband, who had just denied it, revealing a provocative smile.
This time, she remained composed and responded with a disdainful smile.
Come on, who's afraid of who? She's not the weak and helpless Zhao Qinglan she used to be, the one who could be bullied by the Wang family.
