After Mei Wangshu and Tan Guoli finished their conversation, Mei Wangshu hesitated for a moment: "My father may be a bit old-fashioned, so you don't need to take some of his words to heart."
Just pretend to listen...
His words made Tan Guoli burst out laughing.
I've never seen anyone say that about their father before!
Mei Wangshu was somewhat embarrassed: "I'll go back and talk to my father today, and we'll be going to propose marriage within three days at the latest!"
Tan Guoli touched her lower abdomen and nodded gently: "Okay, thank you!"
This thank you came from the bottom of Tan Guoli's heart.
Whatever their initial intentions for collaborating, at least she won't have to endure being pointed at and criticized for the rest of her life.
When Mr. Mei learned of this news, he accidentally broke a teacup!
His eyes were full of inquiry as he stared directly at Mei Wangshu: "How did you suddenly come to your senses?"
In the past, his feelings for this son were complicated. Watching him become more and more like that woman day after day, his rare fatherly love was mixed with a bit of hatred!
Mei Wangshu's mother came to China with an international medical team to provide support, and by chance, she met Mei's father.
The two gradually came together, and with the witness of relatives and friends, they got married and had Mei Wangshu.
But later, the woman left a letter without saying a word and returned to her country!
He never came back after that!
Mei's father raised his child alone, and the hardships he endured are beyond words!
What bothered him even more was the whispering and pointing fingers from those around him!
Especially since he had been a teacher all his life, what he cared about most was his reputation. Because of this incident, people looked at him with mockery in their eyes!
Over time, he became extremely stubborn and controlling!
Mei Wangshu tried to resist several times, but was suppressed by his father with violence.
Over time, he accepted the outcome!
Later, seeing that Mei's father was about to graduate, he was afraid that Mei would follow in his footsteps and get involved with others, which would make him a laughing stock in the end. So he decided to introduce him to a potential partner!
Mei Wangshu reacted strongly, and from his unusual attitude, Mei's father also sensed that something was wrong.
But before he could even investigate, his son actually said he was willing to get married?!
Mei's father calmly picked up the handkerchief on the table and slowly wiped the water stains off his hands: "I suddenly realized something, which is a good thing. I wonder whose daughter she is?"
Is it from our school?
Mei Wangshu took a deep breath: "She's not from our school, but her brother used to study there."
I've met them once or twice, and since Wen happened to know their family, I asked her to help me set them up.
Mei's father paused, his hand holding the handkerchief still: "Is this Teacher Meng's child???"
He suddenly mentioned Teacher Meng, and Mei Wangshu hadn't even reacted yet!
After thinking about it, he realized it was true and nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"
"Well, tell me about the woman's family situation."
First of all, uncultured intellectuals are not allowed into our home!
Secondly, while my family may not be extremely wealthy, I am a respectable person, and I hope you will find someone of equal social standing!
Instead of finding someone from the countryside to fob me off!
Mei Wangshu smiled and said, "This concerns my lifelong happiness, so I definitely won't do that!"
Recently, the Louis family has caused chaos among several major textile factories in Lincheng due to procurement issues at the Second Textile Factory!
Their affair caused quite a stir, and the Lincheng No. 2 Textile Factory was the first to be affected.
Comrade Tan Guoli's father was the director of the Second Textile Factory.
This single condition was enough to make Mr. Mei nod in satisfaction.
The education received by the children of factory workers is barely adequate!
Most importantly, it's stable and won't wander off...
As if lost in thought, Mei's father's eyes darted around.
After a long while, he stood up and straightened his robe: "I happen to have no classes these few days, so I'll go with you to Lincheng."
I also know people at the Beijing No. 1 Textile Factory.
They all have private connections among their various textile factories, so I asked someone to visit them in person!
Seeing how much Mei's father valued this, Mei Wangshu felt a rare sense of unease and guilt.
"Wouldn't this be too much of a fuss?"
"You don't need to worry about the rest!"
Once we've set a time, you can give the woman a call!
Mei's father said firmly, giving Mei Wangshu no room to resist.
Feeling guilty, Mei Wangshu did not refute his father's words again!
Seeing that things were gradually settling down, Wen Sihe and Lu Zhiye both breathed a sigh of relief!
On the very day that Mei's father organized the betrothal ceremony, Lu Zhiye learned of something else. Looking at the letter in his hand, his expression grew even colder!
As soon as Wen Sihe returned home, she saw Lu Zhiye radiating coldness and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Who upset you?"
Lu Zhiye pushed the letter over: "Our previous guess was right. It hasn't even been a week since Louis left, and people from abroad have already arrived!"
I heard he's been wandering around several major factories lately.
I was afraid they'd find out Louis had dated Tan Guoli, so I had someone cover it up!
Wen Sihe: "The Mei family went to present the betrothal gifts today, so this matter should be considered covered up!"
But why is Louis surrounded by such a dense, leaky environment?
They sent people over as soon as he left. Didn't he have the ability to stop them?
Lu Zhiye scoffed, which was precisely what angered him: "It's not that he lacks ability; he just wants to test our abilities!"
"If it weren't for the profit, I wouldn't bother with this mess!"
Amused by his angry words, she realized that Lu Zhiye was always mature and composed in front of her.
This may be related to his rebirth; he subconsciously carried over his actions from his previous life into this one!
Aside from when he's in front of his children, it's rare to see Lu Zhiye acting so childishly.
"Hey, by the way, how's the cosmetics factory? Didn't you say you wanted to confirm the origin of the raw materials?"
Have you finalized everything? Although I have inventory in my online space, I'm often away from it. A large quantity of goods suddenly appearing in the warehouse would definitely arouse suspicion!
There are many people watching the cosmetics factory right now; every item that comes in and goes out is reported.
Therefore, obtaining goods from the space is not practical!
Wen Sihe nodded slightly: "I recently went to see a few places with Jinian, and we collected the villagers' stockpiled goods."
We don't have a place for large-scale production. We were thinking of acquiring a piece of land specifically to serve as our production base!
However, the initial investment was quite large, and I'm not the only owner now, so I was thinking, why don't we get the villagers involved in the planting?"
