Chapter 214 Chapter 214 [VIP]
For Megan, her entire winter vacation was like a social practice that was not just playing house. After buying the land, she still needed machines. At this time, Arthur took her along and asked her what kind of products she wanted to make. This question had to be determined first, and then the factory could be built in a targeted manner to avoid pitfalls and repeated modifications to the factory layout.
Factories must produce products to make a profit, otherwise they will just be constantly filling a huge hole in funds. Will they be like people who have money and free time but no motivation to take action?
—Buy a piece of land and abandon it halfway through?
They definitely weren't like that! Arthur was incredibly proactive. He said he wanted to help Megan fulfill her wish, so he went right to the task. Besides the changes he'd been laying the groundwork for beforehand, which took time, he hadn't hesitated since Christmas. Every step he took was swift and steady. His actions proved his determination, and also proved something else.
Arthur didn't think this was just his career, but in the eyes of others, he wanted Megan to broaden her horizons. Or maybe he just wanted her to participate in the process of building a company and a factory from scratch after finally quitting her busy job to start her own business. This was definitely a rare experience for her when she grew up.
So Megan followed him, and together they went to research the market. Ultimately, it was up to her to decide what product she wanted to make. "I want to make toys that have something to do with mechanics and electronics," she said.
In fact, making some small tools would be fine, but Megan was not very interested, and there were too many things like that in Gotham. Gotham was a port city with developed trade, which meant that some things were very cheap. Even if they were shipped out of the port, how could a small factory like theirs, which had just started, be competitive?
Arthur lowered his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Oh my God, my child, are you really talented in business?" He couldn't help but pry open the child's jaw and carefully looked at the expression between her eyebrows, but he also knew that Megan did not ask anyone for help for these decisions, including the little bird.
There was an indescribable meaning in his strange green eyes. After a long time, he let go of her hand and patted Megan's fluffy head. "You almost made me look at you in a new light. I didn't know you were like this before."
Megan looked up at her father. She stood on tiptoe curiously, pulled the clown's arm hard, and asked him, "Like this? What's this?" She was right. She held her head high and continued his words confidently.
"You have to think, wow, my child is so different, she's the best."
Her childish words made Arthur laugh, and he couldn't help laughing, but he pretended to agree and said in a complaining tone: "Yes, I never thought you would cause me so much trouble. You are a sweet trap."
His last words were incomprehensible, and Megan immediately narrowed her eyes. It was obvious that she was wrinkling her nose at such a young age, revealing an unhappy expression. "You said I was a sunk cost last time, what an unpleasant thing to say." So she has been petty-minded and remembers it until now.
Arthur pondered, then asked, "Maybe it's not me?"
The angry little bear yelled, "It's you!" She headbutted with absolute certainty and great anger.
…
Because Megan wanted to make toys, so they made toys, so she followed as a pendant and watched Arthur negotiate with sellers and manufacturers. They did not just buy some machines to make up the number, but carefully visited several large factories and contacted the heads of small factories.
You have to know that under normal circumstances, industry secrets and details known only to insiders will not be disclosed to outsiders, but Arthur seems to have truly transformed from the quagmire. He indeed has little education, but when he was still in the previous company, he began to learn knowledge on his own. After he got rid of his previous predicament and no longer felt inferior, he spoke frankly and generously, and it was easy for him to get close to others, and naturally he could get some important information from others.
He took Megan to see the machines and buy them, and eventually got the assembly line together at a price close to the cost, and paid in installments. The layout of the factory was almost finalized, so what else was there to do next?
——They have these basics, but they still have to register the company with the state government!
So when the factory started construction, Arthur had to go and handle these matters, and Amy was kidnapped by him to watch the construction progress for him, and he said to Megan: "If you follow Amy, you can come to the East District." Compared with Arthur's fake identity, Amy is also a good person. He doesn't have so many worries and is more suitable to take care of children.
Before Megan could ask anything else, Arthur anticipated it and said in a playful tone, "Yes, it's OK to follow your special friends. You can have fun as you please, but if you're alone..."
Arthur pointed his finger at Megan's head, and his smile gradually became more dangerous. "You know I care about my property and must not cause any damage, right?" This is the important matter.
After seeing Arthur off, Megan followed Amy to take a look at the construction site and didn't care much about it. She didn't like going to noisy and harsh places alone, so she made an appointment with Jason to go out and play.
This winter vacation lasts for twenty days, and there are only a few days left now. They have to prepare for the new semester, but their two children still want to play, so it is clear where to play - the first safe house he set up. They came here often last year to play together, reading, doing homework, practicing musical instruments and playing games.
From the first time they met after the New Year, Jason noticed that Megan was in a particularly good mood. He looked at her curiously, and her emotions were very obvious. Because Megan used to have weak perception, Jason deliberately amplified his emotional expression when he was with her so that she could understand, and later it became a deliberate play between them.
When someone deliberately shows off, the other person must not ignore it and must cooperate.
Now Megan was like that. She strode in front of Jason, blocking his way, tilted her head and asked, "What are you thinking about? Tell me." But they were still walking on the sidewalk. When Megan turned around, she didn't see anyone coming this way, and she was still unconsciously backing away, so Jason reached out, grabbed the ears of her hat hanging on both sides of her cheeks and gently pulled -
Megan had no professional training, so she just lifted one foot and was pulled towards him. She just managed to avoid the person coming from behind, and the other person's arm almost brushed past her head. She felt something furry on her head, as if brushed by something. As soon as she looked up, she saw someone walking very close to her. The person was originally looking at something in his hand, but at this time he also noticed what happened and apologized repeatedly.
Megan only looked at Jason. Their faces were close, but there was no sense of innocence or ambiguity that is typical of teenagers. After a few seconds, she said, "Humph! He's not looking where he's going. He's bad."
This made Jason laugh, and he curved his gentle and bright blue eyes and responded, "Yes, he is bad, but what about me?" Because Megan was almost hit by someone who was not looking at the road, they walked side by side, but they also paid attention to the width of the road. The two children walked together so as not to block the road.
Megan couldn't help laughing before she spoke. This little bear couldn't hold back her bad intentions and would always show signs first, but her friends were very cooperative, and Jason was no exception. The only difference was that the situation was reversed from the beginning. It was Jason who asked the questions, and she spoke softly.
"Jason is the best Jason."
Unlike Jason's expectation of mischief or joke, Megan's words were serious and sincere. When she turned her head to look at him, she showed a triumphant expression. Jason's eyes widened slightly, and he let out a "wow", and immediately burst into laughter with Megan. Perhaps he was trying to cover up something, he raised his hand to rub his ears and pulled down the scarf that was wrapped a little tightly.
When they passed by the food truck, they bought a lot of snacks. Megan saw a balloon stall on the road, so she bought several for herself, tied them all around her wrists, and played with the balloons by pulling them up and down.
On the way, they also bought some ingredients because Jason decided to show off his cooking skills. You know, there is a kitchen in his safe house, and he didn't intend to be vague from the beginning. The kitchen utensils are the best recommended by Alfred, and the old butler funded him. Sometimes they even discussed dishes and cooked together in the manor kitchen.
No one in the Wayne family can't cook. Bruce also has a few specialties. Although Dick likes fast food, he has no problem entering the kitchen. Jason is even better at cooking.
The two children arrived at the safe house together. Due to the delay on the road, it was almost eleven o'clock and they had to prepare lunch. He carried the ingredients into the kitchen and peeked to see Megan thinking about where to hang the balloons at the door. However, the layout was different from when she first came. There were obvious "accidental branches" in some corners of the safe house, which could be used to tie balloons.
Every time Megan saw beautiful balloons on the street, she couldn't leave. Since she had plenty of pocket money, she would always buy them, take them to Jason's safe house, tie them anywhere, and then forget about them.
This was just a fluffy little hobby, and no one would stop him. Jason would always put away the balloons that Megan brought, so that he would have new balloons to decorate the room with when she came next time.
He started to clean up the ingredients in the kitchen. When he turned around, he saw Megan looking at him with bright eyes. Of course, he could hear the sound of the little bear sneaking up on him, but he pretended to be frightened. After a burst of laughter, Megan said she wanted to help. Jason tilted his head and said in a light and arrogant tone: "No, Mei, this is what I want to make. You can't steal it from me."
Jason didn't think Xiaomei needed help with such a small thing in the kitchen, so he brought a small stool for her and a game console. When he was operating it, he occasionally glanced and saw Megan sitting next to him playing games. Her drooping hair covered her eyebrows, but she looked so well-behaved.
Megan suddenly looked up and asked, “What were you thinking at that time, why don’t you tell me now?”
Jason was busy with the work at hand, and suddenly he smiled brightly.
"I want to say, something happy must have happened to you, right?"
The author has something to say:
The reason for the recent late update is that I haven’t caught any fish at work (is this something I can say) and the company is always experiencing power outages and internet disconnection—
For example, today the power went out three times, and the internet didn’t work until 4pm. I only wrote a few hundred words during the day, and then went home to code (collapsed).
The company will be established tomorrow!
