Feng Haidong still rode his bicycle, taking his two children back to his restaurant.
Before I even entered the door, I heard a familiar voice.
"Haidong, your business is so good now, you should be considered a big boss, why do you still ride that old bicycle every day?"
Upon hearing the voice, Feng Haidong knew without looking that it came from Mei Yaqin.
Sure enough, when I turned my head, I saw Mei Yaqin, her brother-in-law Lu Yaorong, and their usual group of stock investors walking towards me.
Lu Yaorong added, "Brother-in-law, you really should get a change. If you can't get a four-wheeled vehicle right now, you should at least get a motorcycle, right?"
Feng Haidong responded with a smile: "The key is that I can't ride either a car or a motorcycle, and I don't have a driver's license either, so I'll continue riding my bicycle for now. I'll learn to ride in a few years and get a driver's license before considering switching."
As Feng Haidong spoke, he carried his son and Yang Xiaoxi down from the ground.
The two children greeted Mei Yaqin and Lu Yaorong, and then ran into the restaurant together.
Mei Yaqin told the others in her group to go ahead and choose their fish and find seats in the restaurant.
She and Lu Yaorong walked up to Feng Haidong.
Mei Yaqin asked in a low voice, "Haidong, I heard you're planning to open a branch in the provincial capital?"
Feng Haidong looked at his brother-in-law, Lu Yaorong. Needless to say, Lu Yaorong must have spread the word.
Seeing his brother-in-law looking at him, Lu Yaorong said decisively, "Brother-in-law, Sister Mei isn't an outsider. I think maybe she can help you?"
Feng Haidong smiled and then said to Mei Yaqin, "Yes, I'm planning to open a branch in the provincial capital. The main reason is that my older cousin and brother-in-law in the provincial capital have been laid off. Now my older cousin is running a food stall in the suburbs of the provincial capital, which I think is quite hard, so I simply pulled my older cousin along to open a branch on the pedestrian street in the provincial capital."
Since Mei Yaqin already knew, Feng Haidong decided not to hide it anymore and gave her a general account of what had happened.
Mei Yaqin was somewhat surprised: "Haidong, you've really taken a big step. I was just telling your brother-in-law the other day that I felt your one restaurant wasn't enough and that you should probably open a branch next year. I didn't expect you to open a branch right in the provincial capital."
Feng Haidong said, "I was just lucky. When I was a child, I lived in the provincial capital with my parents for a while, and I was very close to my three older cousins there."
Mei Yaqin nodded and said, "So that's how it is. The old man actually worked in the provincial capital?"
Feng Haidong smiled and said, "My father used to travel all over the country."
Mei Yaqin thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Haidong, if you need money, you can tell your older sister. Your brother-in-law and I can invest in your company. Your older sister has made some money from stock trading and can invest in your company."
Feng Haidong said, "Thank you, Sister Mei. I will definitely not hesitate to ask for your help if needed."
Mei Yaqin then asked, "By the way, you went to the provincial capital to open a branch store, what about your Wanling? Is she coming back soon?"
Feng Haidong nodded and said, "Yes, she'll be back soon. She's actually in the provincial capital right now."
Mei Yaqin hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Haidong, tell your older sister the truth, is your Wanling planning to change jobs? To find a better place in the provincial capital?"

When Mei Yaqin asked him this question, Feng Haidong was a little unsure how to answer.
Feng Haidong thought for a moment, then exchanged a glance with his brother-in-law.
Then he said, "Sister Mei, to be honest, Wanling does have that idea, and she is currently contacting several companies in the provincial capital. Some companies in the provincial capital need experienced accountants like her."
Mei Yaqin suddenly realized and said, "I guessed it. Your Wanling hasn't come back for so long, I felt that she must have found a good place to go."
Feng Haidong asked in a low voice, "Sister Mei, do you have any ideas? How about I go to the provincial capital this weekend, see Wanling, and tell her? Ask her to introduce you to someone?"
Mei Yaqin was indeed somewhat tempted, but she immediately shook her head and refused.
"Forget it, if I leave, I'm worried about your brother-in-law taking care of the child alone at home. After all, our daughter is already grown up, and it's inconvenient for her to stay with her father."
Feng Haidong nodded and said, "Yes, Tingting will be taking the high school entrance exam soon, right?"
Mei Yaqin said, "Yes, she will be in her final year of junior high school next year, and the high school entrance exam is still quite crucial, so I just need to stay at home with her."
Feng Haidong said, "It's good for Sister Mei to stay at home. You should be able to become the head of the finance department next year. With the money you made from stock trading and your husband's stable salary, you really won't need to go out."
Mei Yaqin felt a little embarrassed when she heard Feng Haidong say that.
"Actually, if it weren't for your Wanling leaving, she would have had a better chance."
Feng Haidong said with a smile, "Sister Mei, you're joking. Wanling is not as capable, old, or experienced as you. How could she possibly bypass you and be made the head of the finance department?"
Mei Yaqin smiled upon hearing this, but she remained calm, though a look of regret quickly appeared on her face.
“If it weren’t for our Tingting, I really would like to go out and see the world like your Wanling. Now your brother-in-law and I are stuck at home and can’t go out and explore like you two.”
Feng Haidong said, "If you have a stable job at home, who would want to go out and make a living?"
Mei Yaqin looked at Feng Haidong and said, "Haidong, I can tell that you are definitely someone who can accomplish great things. In the future, your family will definitely be better than my family."
Feng Haidong said, "Thank you for your kind words, elder sister. Our family is just trying our best in Hukou."
Without continuing the conversation with Mei Yaqin, Feng Haidong asked her and her brother-in-law to go in and sit down first.
Feng Haidong went into the kitchen again and gave Yang Chengjian and Chen Zhiyong some instructions.
After giving some final instructions to his sister-in-law at the cashier, Feng Haidong took his son and said goodbye to everyone before leaving.
When Mei Yaqin saw Feng Haidong leave with his son, she asked curiously, "Yaorong, where is your brother-in-law taking Fanfan?"
Lu Yaorong said, "Oh, my brother-in-law is taking Fanfan to the provincial capital. It's the weekend, so he's taking Fanfan to the provincial capital for some fun. It just so happens that my older sister is also in the provincial capital."
The others at the table were immediately filled with envy.
"Yaorong, your brother-in-law is really amazing. Now that his business is thriving, he even has time to take his son on trips."
"That's true. Unlike us, we've made some money in the stock market, but we don't dare to take it out much."
"Besides, we can't play like other people, always thinking about the market opening on Monday."
Mei Yaqin also said, "That's right. Ever since I entered the stock market, my mind is completely occupied with stocks. I think about the stock market every day, and I even analyze it on weekends and wonder if it will rise when the market opens next Monday."
His classmates' comments made Lu Yaorong start to have some ideas.
