"Hongmei, I love the way you roast people." Wang Ying was practically worshipping Zhang Hongmei.
"Of course, are you suggesting that if you feel disgusted, you should still put on a smiling face?"
"You two are too much. Girls should act like this."
"Aunt Wang, don't you think Hongmei is amazing?"
"It's impressive, but it can't always be like this. Girls shouldn't be too sharp."
With her car parked to the side, Zhang Hongmei looked at the crowd in the grocery store and felt intimidated. There were just too many people!
He got into the car listlessly. He started the car and slowly drove out of the city.
It's no use rushing. We still have to wait for Zhou Yuanqing.
As for Zhou Yuanqing, watching Zhang Hongmei drive away arrogantly, he felt extremely resentful. This was a blatant disrespect for him.
Chengzi, who was inside the door, ran off to tell Gu Chuanming with a grin. It was so satisfying.
Gu Chuanming laughed heartily after hearing this. That's how it should be. No one dares to really offend Zhang Hongmei, at least not in Beijing.
"Sir, do you think Zhou Yuanqing would dare to come knocking on the door?"
"Heh, if he had that guts, I'd look at him with new respect."
"Hehe, I don't think so. I think there's something wrong with Zhou Yuanqing." Chengzi pointed to his head.
“He won’t even answer the door when I knock. He’s been too kind. Go and drive a car over this afternoon, pick a nice one, and bring it back for Hongmei to drive.”
"I understand. I heard that a batch of new cars and trunks have arrived. They're perfect for Hongmei."
"Then go and choose the better one. This girl is too sentimental."
Chengzi scratched his head. These words weren't meant for him; they were just the old commander's sigh.
When Li Guoliang drove back, he saw Zhou Yuanqing squatting alone on the ground. He was secretly laughing; it felt so satisfying.
He stopped the car and hurriedly got out. "Young Master Zhou, please get in the car. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"Damn it, you know you've kept me waiting, so hurry up. That bitch actually abandoned me and left first. Just wait, I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget."
Li Guoliang: Daydreaming is not a good thing.
Another driver came over and bowed to Zhou Yuanqing.
The three got into the car, driven by a borrowed driver. "Young Master Zhou, shall we go by ourselves?"
"That bitch said she went to the store to buy things. A poor person is a poor person, a country bumpkin, never seen the world. She said she's waiting for us on the highway."
"Young Master Zhou, this is Qian Xiuchen, the Chairman's driver for Shift B. He's on duty today. What do you think of his driving skills?"
"It's alright, I'm going to take a nap. That old hag drained me dry last night." After saying that, she lay down in the back seat to rest.
Li Guoliang and Qian Xiuchen exchanged a glance, inwardly filled with contempt for Zhou Yuanqing. He had absolutely no sense of propriety or shame; he didn't even know what it meant to be shabby.
As soon as they got on the highway, they saw Zhang Hongmei's car. The driver honked the horn at the other car, and the two cars drove one after the other on the highway.
"Young Master Zhou, Young Master Zhou?" Li Guoliang called out twice but received no response. He thought to himself, "Idiot, only you have the mood to play with women and sleep soundly."
Qian Xiuchen tapped the steering wheel with his finger, and Li Guoliang nodded before concentrating on following the car in front.
Zhang Shouyi also heard the report and learned that Zhang Hongmei had intimidated Zhou Yuanqing. He laughed heartily, realizing that the girl always managed to get things done by accident, and that her behavior reassured Zhou Shixiong.
Zhang Hongmei took out some dried sweet potatoes from her bag and chewed them slowly while driving. "Wang Ying, Aunt Wang, would you two like some dried sweet potatoes? They're delicious. I kept them very well; there are no bugs."
"Red plum, I want to eat it, just to grind my teeth."
"I'll have one too. I can chew it slowly and kill time."
"That's right, even if we work non-stop, it will take us three days and three nights. We're going to have a tough time."
Aunt Wang, why don't you teach us a foreign language? That way, time will pass faster.
Wang Ying's face fell. She really didn't know anything about this foreign language. Even if she understood it, she just couldn't open her mouth. Unlike Hongmei, who could speak fluently, and whose words sounded just like Aunt Wang's, it was really discouraging.
Wang Ying quickly composed herself. Even if she couldn't explain it, she should at least be able to understand it, right? She should study seriously, otherwise she would fall too far behind.
Both cars arrived in L City at 1 PM. Zhou Yuanqing woke up hungry, and Zhang Hongmei and the other two discussed going to a restaurant for lunch, otherwise they didn't know where they would go that night. They also needed to refuel. Although they had two cans of gas in the car, it was better to fill them up in the city. They wanted to avoid using spare gas if possible.
Wang Ying got out of the car carrying a bag of mahjong-shaped sesame seed cakes. At this time, the restaurant didn't have much food left, only vegetable buns made with three kinds of flour, and they were filled with dried cabbage with no oil at all.
Zhou Yuanqing took a bite and spat it out, "What is this thing?" His face was full of disgust.
"Young Master Zhou, there are some snacks in the car. Shall I bring them to you?" Li Guoliang felt utterly disgusted by Zhou Yuanqing's spoiled and arrogant demeanor. He should just bear with it; it should be over soon.
How many were in the car?
"Just one pack weighs two pounds." How come it's so little? I was hoping to use it to please the girl, but this little isn't even enough for me. I really can't be generous. I guess this girl is just destined to be poor.
"You guys eat, I'm going to sleep in the car." He even knew to cover up for himself in front of Zhang Hongmei.
After Zhou Yuanqing left, Zhang Hongmei had Wang Ying open the sesame seed cakes and give two to each of Li Guoliang and his companion.
The three women each received two buns, and they even gave the buns they ordered to the two women as well.
Wang Xinyi glared at Zhang Hongmei. This girl's actions were so obvious and showed no respect for others.
Zhang Hongmei didn't care. She had no appetite with Zhou Yuanqing around, so it was better that he left; even the air felt fresher.
Li Guoliang and his companion ate the sesame seed cakes first, then each ate three steamed buns before hurriedly getting into the car. Otherwise, that mentally unstable and suspicious person would start overthinking things again.
There were only three women left. Wang Xinyi was particular about eating and sleeping without talking and eating slowly. Although they would chat at the dinner table now, eating slowly was something that the two girls insisted on.
I asked the service station for three more bowls of hot water before getting on the bus.
"Wang Ying, you're driving tonight, go sleep in the back and let Aunt Wang sit in the front."
Zhou Yuanqing was getting impatient when he finally saw Zhang Hongmei and the other two come out, and he was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.
The rest of the time will be spent teaching.
"Hongmei, your basic spoken English is fine now. As for writing, we'll learn that later. I brought you a foreign language book. Read it whenever you have time. I'll read it to you first, and slowly, just like with Chinese characters, you'll be able to learn it."
"Okay, I know we can't rush this. Let's try to communicate in a foreign language as much as possible in the future so you can point out my shortcomings."
"Okay, that's how it should be."
