She talked to herself, but no one responded. Feeling awkward, she lowered her head and sat there.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the group finally came down. Only Cheng Guangxu bought a pair of shoes and a cashmere coat; the others didn't buy anything.
What's going on here? Was she just accompanying them shopping? I'm speechless.
The dozen or so people walked back, arriving home after four o'clock, where the aroma of food wafted from the house. Wang Xinyi smiled when she saw the large and small bags Zeng Zhongkang was carrying.
"Everyone, please sit down. There's freshly brewed hot tea here. Have a cup to calm your stomachs; it'll be time to eat soon. Hongmei, did you find anything good while shopping this time?"
Everyone greeted her and sat down with smiles.
Zhao Tiancheng poured them tea and chatted with them.
"Yes, I also bought you a wool coat. It's really beautiful. We can each have one, and when we go out, we'll look like sisters."
"You brat, you're making fun of me."
“I’m serious, why don’t you try it on? Let’s both wear them out and let Uncle Zhao give his opinion. Come on, let’s go back to our room and try them on.” After saying that, he pulled Wang Xinyi up, picked up the two bags, and went into Wang Xinyi’s room.
Five minutes later, the two came out, wearing the same clothes. Zhao Tiancheng smiled and walked over to help Wang Xinyi.
"It really is beautiful. Hongmei has a good eye."
"Alright, go back upstairs and change your clothes, dinner will be served soon."
When Zhang Hongmei came downstairs, dinner was already on the table: steamed buns, beef soup with radish, and pickled vegetables.
After dinner, everyone felt warm and sat in the living room chatting.
"Haozheng, you and Zhongkang can drive them back later, it's getting dark," Zhao Tiancheng said. They've already eaten, so there's no need to make a difference if they take them back.
After seeing the group off, Zhang Hongmei ignored Cheng Guangxu's grumbling and went upstairs to read.
It's incredibly rare to get the opportunity to join a research group abroad. Since I've been given this chance, I have to seize it.
I read the book from beginning to end in the space, but I still felt unsure. But at this point, that was all I could do.
Wyattroy is coming tomorrow, so I need to finalize the computer parts with him. If that doesn't work, I'll buy all the parts first and then ask Cheng Guangxi and the other two to try assembling it themselves.
This should be feasible. I wonder if there are any computer or internet tycoons from a past life in this world. If there are, I really want to latch onto their coattails.
I chatted with Zhang Shouyi for a while longer. This guy always reads his letters instantly. I wonder if he's been demoted?
Zhang Shouyi felt heartbroken when he heard his wife's words. Who would want their husband to be demoted?
Listening to Zhang Shouyi's abnormal words, I felt an urge to slap him.
I told him about my pleasant shopping trip to the mall today, and how I bought some clothes and scarves that I liked.
The next day, after dinner, I told Shen Yunfang to buy more beef so we could make dumplings that evening. Then all we needed to do was prepare some cold dishes.
"Hongmei, a cleaner is coming today, do you think she'll be suitable?"
"Uncle Zhao, you can decide for yourself. I have to study today. Our professor gave me a spot in the computer research group, and I can't mess up the exam this time. So please don't bother me. I'll come down by myself when I'm hungry."
"This is wonderful news, congratulations Hongmei."
"Hehe, I also think it's a good thing, so I have to cram at the last minute."
"Hongmei, can I go?"
"I don't know, the professor told me this on Friday."
"Why am I so stupid? Why am I so useless?"
Zhang Hongmei ignored the eccentric Cheng Guangxu and went upstairs to read.
My daily routine included reading letters and writing letters to Zhang Shouyi.
This time, I even received several letters from other people. I looked at them and saw that they were from Song Zigan, Yu Hongxia, and Liu Jingze.
Holding the letter in her hand, she imagined Zhang Shouyi's handsome face, which was prone to jealousy, and couldn't help but smile.
The first one I opened was Yu Hongxia's. It was full of descriptions of how popular the lingerie store was, and that people from all over the country actually wanted to buy their products. Although there are imitation lingerie products on the market, theirs are still the most popular.
She and Wang Ying agreed on the purchase requirements, and they also found out about a new fabric. They preemptively ordered fifty bolts, and the underwear sales are currently booming. Moreover, the profit margin is higher than that of lingerie.
Finally, there was a sales report for this quarter. Zhang Hongmei smiled as she looked at the numbers. It seemed there was still hope for building a villa back in Liujiatun.
He opened Liu Jingze's letter again. It contained only one sheet of paper, expressing his longing for him and mentioning that he had returned to the capital and was learning a foreign language. It also mentioned that Zhang Shouyi had assigned him a female translator, which he had rejected, choosing instead a middle-aged man. The two were now teacher and student, and he could already understand simple sentences.
Also, I want to thank her for getting this opportunity for him.
Zhang Hongmei could tell that Liu Jingze was writing the letter in a rather disjointed manner, as it wasn't written in one go; he was probably struggling with how to write it to her. She even found it a little funny—why was he telling her about Zhang Shouyi arranging a female translator for him? Was he tattling on her?
These two childish fools are hopeless. What's the point of all this? He's relieved about Liu Jingze; this is a time to build up his political achievements, and it seems he's doing a good job.
Finally, there was a letter from Song Zigan, informing her that the workbook had been published and, based on Zhang Hongmei's calculations, was probably on sale now. There was also a message about his life at school. Liu Jingzhang took great care of him, and he was now thriving in the student council.
That puts my mind at ease. I can tell from the letter that he has matured and become much more composed.
Finally, she took out Zhang Shouyi's letter. He was still jealous, but much better than last time. She also told him that Liujiatun had sent her food and smoked meat. She added that she had lost weight and missed him so much she couldn't eat.
Zhang Hongmei laughed. This guy! She quickly replied to him, telling him that if he didn't take good care of himself, she would dump him when she returned and found him old and unattractive.
After finishing writing, I stopped paying attention to it and focused all my energy on studying. I tried to see where my limits were.
In this space, I slept when I was tired, ate when I was hungry, and spent all the rest of my time reading. Regardless of the effectiveness, at least I felt like I was back in the tense and busy life before the college entrance examination.
The next day, Sunday, was the same as usual: after practicing Tai Chi, I ate lunch, and then it was time to study.
Ignoring Cheng Guangxu's resentment—why is this guy becoming increasingly insecure?—I'll just throw him my notes and let him summarize it himself. He needs to adapt; he can't always rely on others.
