Chapter 68

Song Shu returned to the office holding the cactus, looked around the office, and placed the cactus in the empty space in the upper left corner of the desk so that she could see it when she looked up.

As I looked at it, I wanted to pick up the cup and water it with some water. But when I thought that the cactus didn't need so much water, I suddenly felt a little stupid and could only put the cup back.

Sitting on the chair, Song Shu picked up the document on the table and started reading it. After just a while, she couldn't help but look up at the ordinary cactus. After a few hours, Song Shu couldn't help but look at the cactus from time to time. She almost found her behavior funny. It turned out that people in love would really do some stupid things.

Sitting in Chen Zonghao's car after get off work that night, Song Shu asked unexpectedly, "How many times did you water the cactus I gave you every day?"

"Three times." Chen Zonghao answered without hesitation.

Song Shu couldn't help laughing when she heard it. She wanted to say, "How can you be so stupid? How can you grow a cactus like this?" But when she thought about her behavior at noon, she felt that she and her elder brother didn't say anything about the second brother. "If you keep watering like this, won't the cactus die?"

Chen Zonghao touched his nose after hearing this and said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't do that later."

After he snatched the cactus she gave him, the first thing Chen Zhonghao did every day when he went to work was to water it. Although he knew that cacti were the plants that least needed water and could survive for several months without watering, and that watering the love tree every day would kill it, he could not help but water it every day when he looked up and saw it.

Later, Shitou came into the office and took a look at the cactus. He yelled, "Brother Hao, you are killing the cactus."

Chen Zonghao then realized that he had watered the cactus several times a day, and it looked wilted as if he was about to kill it. In the end, Chen Zonghao had to hold back his hand from watering it.

Shitou joked with Awen and the others, saying that Brother Hao was not raising cacti at all. If you didn't know him, you would think he was raising a daughter from his meticulous look.

So when Chen Zonghao heard Song Shu's question, he felt a little uncomfortable. Song Shu knew from his expression that he must have done the same stupid thing as her. Well, it seems that she is not the only one who is stupid when falling in love.

After get off work, the two went to pick up Jiahui first, and when they arrived at the door, they happened to meet Sister Liu Ying.

Liu Ying saw Song Shu coming over and asked, "Are you back from Shenzhen? I haven't seen you guys for a long time?"

Song Shu nodded and handed a portion of specialty products she had taken from the car to Liu Ying before getting off. "Sister Ying, these are some small specialties I brought back from Shenzhen."

She put this special product in the car when she went out today, thinking that if she met Liu Ying in the kindergarten, she would give it to her. She just happened to meet her today.

Liu Ying waved her hands and said, "How can I accept this?"

Song Shu smiled and said, "Sister Ying's products are just specialties and not worth much. I bought quite a few of them, and gave the rest to friends."

Liu Ying knew from what she said that she bought this specialty to give to her friend, so she took it without refusing: "Thank you, I'll take it."

"You're welcome." Song Shu waved her hand.

Chen Zonghao parked the car and walked over to hand her his coat. She had taken it off when she got in the car because she felt hot, but forgot to pick it up when she got out, so it remained in the car. Unexpectedly, the man took it down for her. Song Shu naturally took the coat and put it on.

Liu Ying stood aside and watched their silent and tacit actions, thinking that every time she saw these two people, she would sigh that they have such a good relationship.

The three of them didn't have to wait long before the kindergarten was over. Liu Ying looked at the children coming out one by one and said, "Wait, Zhuzhu hasn't seen Jiahui for so many days, she will definitely talk to your Jiahui."

As expected, after Song Shu finished speaking, they saw Zhuzhu and Jiahui lined up in a group of children and walked out. The others lined up one after another, but Zhuzhu held Jiahui's hand and stood beside her. The two of them lined up together and talked non-stop. While talking, she would kiss Jiahui's face. She looked very enthusiastic.

As they approached, they heard her sticky voice, "Sister Jiahui, do you know that I missed you so much when you were not in kindergarten these few days? I couldn't even enjoy my meals..."

Even eating doesn’t enjoy the appetite, which is Zhuzhu’s top priority in life right now. Now she doesn’t even have the mood to eat. It’s obvious that Zhuzhu really misses her little sisters.

Jiahui reached out her hand and touched her face to comfort her, "Sister Zhuzhu, I miss you too."

Zhuzhu was so happy that her two front teeth were exposed. She asked, "Sister Jiahui, can I come to your house to play with you this Saturday?"

"You should ask Sister Shu about this," Jiahui said.

As they spoke, the two little people looked up at Song Shu eagerly, and Zhuzhu even said coquettishly, "Sister Shu, can I go to Jiahui's house to play on Saturday?"

Song Shu was looked at expectantly by two pairs of bright eyes, and her heart softened. She bent down and reached out to touch the heads of the two men, and said with a smile, "Of course you can."

"Wow, that's great." Zhuzhu cheered happily.

Liu Ying found her expression a little funny and joked, "Why did you forget about your mother? What will you do if she doesn't agree?"

Zhuzhu rushed over and hugged her mother's legs, raised her head and said coquettishly: "Mom, you will definitely agree, right? I am your beloved baby daughter."

Seeing Zhuzhu's funny look, everyone laughed. Liu Ying pretended to frown and looked like she disagreed. It was not until Zhuzhu got anxious that she reluctantly said, "Okay, I agree, but you have to promise to listen to your sister Shu and be polite when you go to Jiahui's house."

Zhuzhu nodded quickly, patted her chest and said, "I will definitely be obedient."

＊

On Saturday, in addition to Liu Ying bringing Zhuzhu over, Fang Yun and Feng Zhen, who had not been seen for a while, also came over with Mingzai and Baoer respectively.

As soon as Ming Tsai Bao Er got off the car, he ran to the back room as if he knew the way there well, calling out enthusiastically as he ran, "Sister Jia Hui, I'm here to find you."

Fang Yun said to Song Shu who came out to greet her, a little embarrassedly: "Mingzai and Baoer insisted on coming to see Jiahui as soon as they had their day off, and we couldn't stop them."

Song Shu took them to the back room while listening to her words, "Jia Hui missed them too, you came at the perfect time."

However, when Song Shu and the other two walked to the back room, they found Mingzai and Baoer, who had come in earlier, standing on one side with gifts in their hands, and opposite them was Zhuzhu, who was standing with Jiahui.

Seeing Zhu Zhu holding Jia Hui's hand intimately, Du Baoer was a little jealous: "Who are you? Why are you holding Jia Hui's hand?"

Although Mingzai didn't say anything, he nodded in agreement with Du Baoer.

Zhuzhu raised her chin and said proudly, "Who are you then? I'm the one who called you Sister Jiahui."

"Huh, who said that? I'm going to call Jiahui sister." Du Baoer said unconvinced.

"Yes, I also want to call Jiahui sister." Mingzai also responded.

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Jiahui, who was in the middle, quickly spoke up: "Okay, you are all my good friends. This is Sister Zhuzhu. We went to the same kindergarten. Sister Zhuzhu, that is Sister Baoer and Brother Mingming. They are all my good friends."

After hearing what Jiahui said, the three stopped arguing. Zhuzhu took the lead and said generously, "So you are all good friends of Jiahui. Then you are also good friends of me, Zhuzhu, from now on. Let's play together."

Du Baoer and the others were no longer angry. "Hello, Sister Zhuzhu. You can call me Sister Baoer. This is Xiao Ming. Sorry, we only brought gifts for Sister Jiahui this time."

Zhuzhu waved her hands, her eyes rolling, "No need for gifts, you can bring me delicious food in the future, I like food the most."

After Zhuzhu finished speaking, Baoer, Mingzai and the others all laughed and said, "Okay, I will definitely bring you something delicious next time."

After that, the four children sat on the carpet at one side of the living room and started playing happily.

Song Shu and the others watched the kids playing without even starting a fight, and ignored them.

The three of them sat on the sofa. Song Shu poured a cup of tea for Fang Yun and Feng Zhen respectively, and the two of them took it and started drinking.

Fang Yun took a sip of tea and asked, "Do you think it's fun to go to Shenzhen this time?"

Song Shu rubbed the teacup in her hand and nodded, "It's OK, but I didn't have fun like this this time. I was busy opening a clothing factory."

Fang Yun and Feng Zhen were surprised and happy for her. "Great, Ah Shu, I didn't expect your factory to open in mainland China. That's amazing."

Feng Zhen was even more impressed. She had gradually become acquainted with Song Shu through Fang Yun and knew that she was a great designer. She had never expected that she would open her own T-shirt factory soon. She was really amazing.

"In fact, I have had this plan for a long time, and now there are preferential policies for opening a factory in mainland China, so it is not difficult." Song Shu explained.

Fang Yun and the others nodded after hearing this. This was the truth. With the reform and opening up of the mainland, more and more factories in Hong Kong were moved to the mainland.

After all, there is not much land in Hong Kong and the labor cost is not low, so opening a factory in mainland China is a good choice.

Fang Yun thought of something and continued, "Ah Shu, you haven't been in Hong Kong for a while, so you didn't know that the cheongsams you designed for those ladies have become popular. Now many people wear cheongsams as formal dresses at banquets. Many ladies have come to me to make an appointment with you to design cheongsams, even foreign ladies have come to make an appointment."

Feng Zhen nodded in agreement and added, "Nowadays, if you hold a banquet, it would be embarrassing if the host doesn't have a cheongsam."

This is not an exaggeration. Sometimes when something becomes popular in high society, it is originally brought about by other people of status.

For example, the promotion of luxury goods is to link luxury goods with high society, money, and status, which makes people think that it is a luxury.

At Grandma Xu's birthday party, she and her daughter-in-law both wore cheongsams. For people of their status, in addition to their words and actions, their attire is also a major point of attention on such important occasions. Otherwise, how can we say "clothes make the man"?

Moreover, the cheongsams they wore at the banquet perfectly suited their temperament and figure. Wearing them really gave people a sense of enhancement. This is also the reason why those rich ladies and girls are so fond of them. If the clothes were not good-looking, they would not buy them.

Song Shu was surprised to hear such a good response. She was very happy that her cheongsam was loved by them. She took out a postcard of her new studio and handed it to Fang Yun and the others. "Thank you so much. If anyone contacts you in the future, you can ask them to come to this studio to make an appointment."

Fang Yun and the others took the postcard and read it, then said, "Ah Shu, you should open a studio. It will be more convenient for customers to come to your door. It doesn't matter if it's a trouble or not. We will tell them the address. It's a piece of cake."

"I still have to thank you. By the way, these are some specialties I brought back from Shenzhen. I was originally planning to give them to you, but since you just happened to be here today, you don't have to trouble me to make a trip." Song Shu stood up, picked up two bags of specialties from the living room and handed them to Fang Yun and Feng Zhen.

Fang Yun and Feng Zhen did not refuse and came over, saying happily: "I didn't expect that you, Shu, brought us some special products from Shenzhen. Thank you."

Song Shu smiled and said, "They are just some small gifts, as long as you like them."

They chatted for a while and talked about the recent popularity of DVD players. Even Fang Yun exclaimed: "You and your husband are really capable people. The DVD players your husband made are now sold out in many countries. In Hong Kong, almost every family with a little spare money has one."

It was from Fang Yun that Feng Zhen learned that the DVD player was manufactured by Song Shu's husband Chen Zonghao. He was extremely impressed by the couple. "Just like Sister Yun said, I bought one when Xiang Jiang was first sold. This DVD player is really convenient for watching movies and TV at home, and the experience is good. The picture quality is clear enough. There is a reason why it can be sold so well."

"But." Fang Yun took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that there was a big company in the island country that was originally developing this kind of electronic product, but it didn't succeed because we made it first. They were not satisfied and wanted to find something to do with it. But my husband Xu said that fortunately your Mr. Chen was smart and applied for copyright patents in various countries, so those foreign businessmen couldn't do anything about it for a while."

Song Shu had not thought of this, but she understood it after thinking about it. With such a highly profitable product and a huge market all over the world, it is not impossible for other companies to want to get a piece of the pie, or even go so far as to snatch it away and claim it as their own.
