After seeing off Xu Hengkai and Meng Zhehan, Director Shen also went to work. Shen Yu asked Meng Tao to go with him. He would be busy in the morning and had to attend meetings in two units respectively. He would have time in the afternoon and could take her to pick up Xiao Wangcai.

Meng Tao wanted to go with him, but when she saw the half-finished flower bed and several flower pots in the yard were so messy, she asked Shen Yu to go to work first, and when she finished her work, she would take a bus to the city to find him.

Shen Yu gave a few instructions and drove away.

Meng Tao closed the iron gate and began to tend to the small flowerbed while the sunlight was not too strong. She transplanted a few red and yellow roses from the space, refilled the four flowerpots with soil, planted sunflowers in all of them, and sprinkled some space spring water on them. In a few days, they were guaranteed to bloom in abundance.

After finishing the small flower garden, I returned to the house and continued yesterday's work, cleaning and dusting. After finishing the second floor, I went down to the first floor. Except for Director Shen's bedroom, every corner of the building was finally cleaned.

I was exhausted, but felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Time passed quickly while she was busy at work. Shen Yu called and Meng Tao looked at the clock and it was already 11:50.

Shen Yu said that after the meeting everyone would have a working lunch outside and would not be back at noon. Director Shen would not be back either, so Meng Tao had to cook for herself and wait until three o'clock in the afternoon when Ding Hao would drive over to pick her up.

After hanging up the phone, Meng Tao thought that lunch for one was not simple. The sauces and side dishes were all ready. She could just make a bowl of spicy noodles, which would fill her up and satisfy her craving. After eating, she would go into the space for a while and come out at three o'clock.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ding Hao came to pick up Meng Tao on time and sent her to Shen Yu's office, waiting for him to finish processing a few documents, and then the two of them went to pick up Xiao Wangcai.

Seeing Xiao Wangcai again after a month of separation, Meng Tao was so excited and happy to see it running towards them from the training ground that she almost cried.

Xiao Wangcai has grown a lot and seems to be more sensible after receiving training. In the past, he would have jumped into Meng Tao's arms without caring about anything and licked her, but now he can control himself, turn a corner and circle around the two of them, stop his momentum, and then stop in front of Meng Tao.

Meng Tao squatted down and hugged Xiao Wangcai, stroking its fur non-stop, and said lovingly: "I'm sorry, Xiao Wangcai, it took me so long to pick you up. I really missed you, but I have to let you learn some skills. This is the only way. Don't be angry!"

Xiao Wangcai felt the love and care from his owner and knew that his owner still loved him. He immediately felt aggrieved and whimpered softly, licked and sniffed his owner eagerly, and arched his arm around her for a hug. But before he could get a hug, he was dragged out by the "bad guy" next to him.

Shen Yu stroked the dog's head and said, "Xiao Wangcai, have you forgotten what I told you last time? Your memory is so bad, which means you haven't learned anything. So don't go back yet, stay here and continue studying!"

Xiao Wangcai: “…”

You bad old man, you are so bad!

Although it was angry, it still squatted very well and did not bother Meng Tao anymore. It looked well-behaved and honest. It was obvious that without Meng Tao's knowledge, it had been severely reprimanded by Shen Yu in private.

When he got home, Director Shen was able to get off work on time today and had already prepared dinner. Of course, he didn't cook it. He bought some vegetables and asked Chef Jiang to come over to cook. There were chicken, shrimps and pork ribs. Little Wangcai was lucky enough to have bones to chew on as soon as he got home.

Director Shen knew Xiao Wangcai. When he saw his son and daughter-in-law brought it back, he liked it very much. He played with it and asked it to follow him wherever they went. It was like there was a new child in the house, and it was very lively.

At night, the couple brought Xiao Wangcai into the space. Seeing Xiao Wangcai patrolling around the space calmly without any surprise, Shen Yu thought Meng Tao had brought it in before.

Shen Yu stroked Xiao Wangcai and said, "You are a dog with a secret, don't tell others about it, okay?"

Xiao Wangcai raised his head and whimpered, as if answering "I understand" seriously, and both of them couldn't help laughing.

Shen Yu began to teach Meng Tao how to practice mental skills.

Shen Yu was a top student with extraordinary talent and was born to practice. He had broken through the first floor of the library and reached the second floor. He had planned to work harder and choose a more advanced technique for his young wife when he reached the third floor, but that would take time, and right now they had to be wary of the gangster Murong Shengjie, so they could only practice first.

Fortunately, any martial arts technique collected by the seniors in the library is extraordinary. As long as my wife practices it with concentration, it will be of great benefit to her.

The first few days were very important. To prevent interference, Meng Tao basically stayed at home and stayed in the space most of the time. It happened that Director Shen went to the branch factory to inspect the work and would be away from home for a week. Shen Yu used the excuse of feeling a little unwell to work from home and asked Ding Hao to run around if there was anything.

Although Meng Tao's aptitude was not as amazing as Shen Yu's, it was not bad either. She successfully got started in three days.

After mastering the trick, all you need to do next is practice every day according to the routine. Your martial arts value will naturally increase step by step, and you will have strong enough self-protection ability. In case of an emergency, such as the time in Province Y where you suddenly couldn't enter the space, you will be able to deal with the enemy without panicking.

Shen Yu praised his little wife for her intelligence and said with a smile, "We must give her a prize as an encouragement."

Who wouldn't want a reward? Meng Tao took Xiao Wangcai and got into Shen Yu's car to the city where they had "wholesale" space goods last time.

I thought Shen Yu brought her here to buy something good, but that was not the case. The car circled the street twice and stopped in front of a building. Shen Yu asked Meng Tao to wait in the car, and he took Xiao Wangcai out for a walk. Soon, someone carried two suitcases to their car, put them down and left.

Shen Yu directly picked up the suitcase and put it in the car, then he followed in and opened the boxes. Meng Tao's eyes widened: the two boxes were full of bundles of big unity, neatly arranged. According to preliminary estimates, there must be hundreds of thousands of yuan!

It's not that she had never seen piles of money before. They were the pink hundred-dollar bills of later times. She had gotten used to them and had become accustomed to them. However, these boxes of solemn and age-old bills were quite shocking. She didn't know why, but she felt that they were very valuable and her heart was inexplicably excited.

“Is this real money?”

"Of course it's real. Where can you find so much fake money?"

Shen Yu was amused by his wife's silly and cute look and pinched her face: "This is the payment for the goods last time, 500,000 for the whole group, 250,000 for each box, keep it. There is also 3 million US dollars, which has been deposited into your foreign account."

"Wow! The last time it was only 100,000 great unity, 400,000 US dollars! Did we suddenly raise the price?"

"It's going to keep rising. I have to make enough small change, and then you'll stop making trouble."
