Zhao Tiancheng didn't return until 5:30. Seeing that Zhang Hongmei had already compiled half of last year's account books, he truly admired this young woman.
"Hongmei, let's go home."
"Uncle Zhao, you should take the account books back. I can help you organize them tomorrow morning."
"You've been calculating all day, you should rest tonight."
"It's okay. Go find some cardboard boxes, we'll pack them separately."
The two large cardboard boxes of account books were loaded onto the car, and the other seven people had already taken the bus home after showering. They figured they'd all arrive together.
Wang Xinyi prepared a lavish dinner tonight, buying 20 jin of lamb for stew, a roast goose, and tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and rice, which were delivered by Wyattroy today.
They didn't call the three girls in the living room, but they still went to the kitchen to help, otherwise they would have felt too embarrassed to sit down and eat.
When Zhao Tiancheng and the others arrived home, the seven people who had taken the bus also entered the house.
Zeng Zhongkang put down the motherboard in his hand and said, "Let's go down too, everyone's back."
The three of them went downstairs, just as Zhang Hongmei and the others entered the living room.
Zeng Zhongkang took the cardboard box from Zhang Hongmei, and Cai Peilin took the one from Zhao Tiancheng.
"Please take this to the study, both of you. Thank you."
Wang Xinyi wanted to prepare hot water, but Zhao Tiancheng stopped her. "Sit down quickly, how are you feeling today?"
"Hehe, no problem, it just feels like he can move."
The couple sat down and began to show their affection, oblivious to everyone else around them.
"Everyone, please sit down. I'll go upstairs to wash up." She went into the space from the bathroom, took a shower, and drank some water. She just came out. Her hair was still wet, so she had no choice but to slowly dry it.
This long hair is such a hassle, I need to go to the hair salon sometime.
It took half an hour for Zhang Hongmei to come down. Miao Xinyue and Zhao Yuetong also returned by then. They had received training at the company today and learned a lot, so they were very excited. As soon as they got home, they looked for Zhang Hongmei, eager to share their experiences with her.
Miao Xinyue saw Zhang Hongmei coming downstairs and immediately went to greet her, "Hongmei, I really learned something today. It turns out that what is taught in textbooks is simply not enough."
"Hehe, it's good that you've made some progress. Go wash up, it's time to eat."
The people in the living room were all envious of Miao Xinyue's words, especially Kong Yushun, who had also come here to study economics, but how did he end up doing manual labor?
“Hongmei, did your Uncle Zhao take advantage of you today? He even had the nerve to say that he only has three years' worth of account books. There’s no way to describe him. He’s so clueless about his own business.”
"Hehe, honey, you've wronged me. I know very well how much money I make in a year. Once the baby is born, I'll hand over the accounts and money to you. I really find that a headache."
"You should find an accountant or something. As for me, I'll have Hongmei come up with a long-term business for the baby in the future, and I'll manage it for the child for now. But I don't have time to be your slave."
"Hehe, then I'm really going to find an accountant."
Zhang Hongmei smiled as she watched the loving couple. This was fate.
Zhang Hongmei drank an extra bowl of mutton soup for dinner, and felt warm from her feet to her heart; it was so comforting.
After dinner, he said goodbye and went upstairs without noticing Dong Yuping's gaze.
Seeing the row of computers in the study, I figured these three must be quite busy. Tomorrow, I'll have Miao Xinyue and the others contact someone from the company to come and take them away; they're taking up too much space here. These aren't the lightweight laptops of later generations.
Since everyone is still here and I can't access the space myself, I should get all the account books organized first.
Just as she was getting into the zone, she heard a knock on the door. Zhang Hongmei frowned; no one in her family would come to disturb her.
"Please come in."
It turned out to be Dong Yuping. We led her to the sofa by the window.
"I was so busy I forgot. How was your day?"
"In the morning, we each earned eight yuan. But I'm not going to continue."
"Why? The profit margin is very high!"
Dong Yuping then told Zhang Hongmei everything that had happened that day. "I don't mind doing more work, but I felt disheartened when neither of them helped me while I was busy selling steamed buns. They would say they couldn't speak up, that they were too embarrassed, but I'm a girl too. Am I just born to be a street vendor? So I think I'll go do temporary work instead."
After listening to Dong Yuping's words, Zhang Hongmei frowned and said, "Dong Yuping, this won't do. I saw the condition of several male comrades today; they must have been working beyond their capacity. You simply can't handle it."
"But I really don't want to be with them anymore. I'll apply for a dorm when school starts and move out to live on my own. Although I'm a little scared, I'll be happier than living with them."
"I really don't know what to say, but could you talk to one of the men and ask him to stop doing temporary work too? You could all work together, so the man can feel more comfortable selling steamed buns on his own. You can make more steamed buns. But you'll have to rent your own kitchen, since I have several people eating here."
Dong Yuping paused for a moment after hearing Zhang Hongmei's words, then nodded. "I understand. I'll go ask Kong Yushun. He's more reliable than the others, but I don't know if he's willing. Also, we'll need Mr. Zhao's help with renting a place."
"Hehe, you can decide for yourself. I'm really in a hurry, so I won't chat with you anymore." After seeing Dong Yuping off, Zhang Hongmei stopped paying attention to the matter, as she still had too much work to do.
But before he could finish calculating one page, someone knocked on the door again. Suppressing his anger, he welcomed Wang Minxia and Jiang Mingyan in and sat them on the same sofa as before.
"Hongmei, Dong Yuping already told you everything when she came upstairs, right? I won't explain further. It was definitely my fault. But I still want to do this job. I was wondering if I could use your kitchen?"
"I'm sorry, it's not possible now. Dong Yuping just decided to continue, so I can't lend this kitchen to anyone. If you want to continue, you'll have to rent a place yourself."
Jiang Mingyan kept her head down and didn't say a word. She was intimidated by Zhang Hongmei; she could still recall Zhang Hongmei's aggressive words from last time, and even looking at her made her feel uneasy.
“That would increase the cost,” Wang Minxia said, frowning.
"Hehe, if the cost is low, then you're using it for free here. You studied economics, don't you understand this?" Wang Mingxia knew she had let something slip as soon as she finished speaking, and Zhang Hongmei's words made her feel even more embarrassed.
"Okay, I got it. I'll go look at houses tomorrow. Although I feel a little uncomfortable being a street vendor, the profit margin is high, so I'll head back now."
"Okay, take care. I won't see you off. I have too much work to do. Sorry."
After a few more pleasantries, they were seen downstairs.
