"Hehe, it's okay, the baby is just saying hello to you!"
Annie nodded, then tentatively placed her hand on her belly again. Miraculously, the baby moved even more vigorously. This made Annie laugh heartily, and she even gently interacted with the baby's movements with her fingers.
"Hongmei, the three of us made the game, and I personally think it's really fun."
"Yes, you guys are really good. This game can also be played by children. Let Annie try it out in a bit."
"Uncle Cheng, what game is it? Is it a new one?"
"Yes, it's homework your mom left us before she went out to play."
"What is that? My mom said it's for kids to play with."
"Yes, it's a shooting game. Come on, Uncle will take you to play."
Cai Peilin also stood up and followed Cheng Guangxu to his room.
"Aunt Wang, I'm going upstairs now. I have some things to discuss with Zeng Zhongkang."
The two went to the study. "Zeng Zhongkang, I'd like to ask, have you ever been involved with weapons?"
"Why do you ask that? You've never asked me anything about myself."
"Why would I pry into your privacy? I just want to ask if you could understand what's going on if I let you tour a weapons manufacturing plant?"
"Heh, I thought you knew."
"I haven't asked. My understanding of you is based solely on our interactions."
"I can do it. I can assemble firearms and remember everything I see."
"Wow, that's amazing! I talked to Beth McKen about this a few days ago. I wanted to buy the blueprints for their weapons. If that's not possible, I'll let you come and visit them."
"They agreed?"
"Not yet. The blueprints are out of the question, but the visit isn't finalized. That's why I'm asking you."
"Heh, you really dare to bring up anything. I don't think there's even a possibility of letting people visit."
"We'll see when the time comes. It would be better if we could go. If we can't, there's no loss."
"Are you really not going to suffer any losses? Aren't you afraid they'll dislike you?"
"I haven't thought about that question. Let them think what they want. Who I am isn't defined by one thing. Besides, I asked openly and honestly; I didn't do anything underhanded."
Zeng Zhongkang shook his head. This woman, you really don't know what she's thinking. Maybe she thinks it's not a big deal?
"Would you teach people your programming?"
"Didn't I bring ten people with me?"
Now there's nothing to refute. But your selflessness doesn't mean everyone thinks the same way.
Alright, there's no point in arguing with her. She doesn't care at all, so there's no use saying anything.
Zeng Zhongkang had indeed guessed Zhang Hongmei's thoughts correctly; she genuinely didn't consider it a big deal. She knew her country was capable of developing advanced weapons. Her current actions were simply a way to expedite the process.
However, since everyone thought it was unfeasible, we decided to abandon the idea.
“Yesterday Wyattroy called you for the third time to ask about you.”
"Okay, I understand. I'll go down and call him right away."
I need to call Carlos again. How's things at the textile factory?
"It's me, Zhang Hongmei. Did you need something?"
"Shall I come to your place tonight?"
"Sure, is there anything you particularly want to eat?"
Anything is fine.
"Okay!" Zhang Hongmei remembered that it was someone bringing her a share of the profits.
I dialed Carlos's number, and his secretary answered. After waiting for a while, I finally heard Carlos's voice.
"I'm Zhang Hongmei, I just wanted to ask about the textile factory."
"I have something urgent to attend to right now, I'll come to your place tonight."
"Okay, Wyatt, come over too."
He hung up the phone and found Shen Yunfang in the kitchen.
"Aunt Chen, we have guests coming to our house tonight."
"I've already prepared the dough, and I want to make flatbread."
"Okay, don't make all sweet dishes, I want something with oil and salt."
"Is this all for dinner? That's too simple. How about hot pot with lamb? I bought ten pounds of lamb this morning, and I want it stewed."
"Okay, let's just eat whatever we have at home."
The message was sent to Shen Yunfang, who went to check on Cheng Guangxu's room. Neither of them were there.
She went into the kitchen again and asked, "Aunt Chen, where are Cheng Guangxu and the others?"
"They went next door, and Annie went with them."
With the two of them keeping Annie company, Zhang Hongmei felt relieved. She went upstairs to take a shower and change her clothes.
When she came downstairs again, Cheng Guangxu and the others had also returned.
"Mom, this game is really fun, but it's black and white. The game console in Grandpa's study is in color."
“This will also be made into a game console. Annie, your dad is coming over for dinner tonight, and Wyatt Roy is coming too.”
"Is Dad done with work?"
"I don't know. I need to talk to him about something."
"Oh, I miss my dad. If he's done with his work, I'll go home with him today."
Zhang Hongmei patted Annie's head with satisfaction. What a thoughtful child.
The two arrived at the same time that evening. The three of them went to the study and discussed some matters concerning the current game company.
Both of them were very satisfied with dinner. Annie sat obediently next to Carlos the whole time; the father and daughter hadn't seen each other for many days and were very affectionate.
After dinner, while drinking tea, Annie nestled in her father's arms. "Daddy, are you done with your work?"
"What's wrong, Annie?"
"If you're done with your work, I'll walk you home. I miss you so much."
"Okay, let's go home. I miss my baby too."
Wyatt watched with great envy. "Annie, be my daughter, and I'll treat you very well."
"Uncle Wyatt, you're even busier than my dad, how can you have time to take care of me?"
"Yes, Uncle is just too busy, so he wants a sweet little angel."
"I am my father's daughter."
Everyone laughed. Carlos glared at Wyattroy. "If you want a daughter, go have one yourself. Trying to steal my daughter away right in front of me? You're asking for it."
"Hehe, how could I have time to have a daughter? I just envy you."
Alright, I can't keep you guys company any longer. I need to go back and arrange things for the new game. I refuse to believe they won't come begging to me this time.
"We left too. I haven't been home for several days."
Everyone saw them off to the car and watched them leave before returning to their own homes.
"Hongmei, I'll go to the textile factory with you tomorrow."
“Okay, let’s go take a look. Uncle Zhao, if you have time, you can come with us too.”
“Okay, I haven’t been to Zhou Changrong’s textile factory for a long time either. But I know he runs it very well.”
Old Zhou is quite decisive; he let go and left without hesitation.
"Hehe, if he can succeed here, he'll be even more successful back home. Don't worry. They should have already set foot on our soil by now."
"This is still the fastest way, it'll be twenty days earlier than us."
