After Zhang Shouyi left, Zeng Zhongkang sat there in a daze.
He knew about the relationship between his boss and Zhang Hongmei from the beginning, but he still got involved. He laughed self-deprecatingly.
That's not something you can just dream of. In life, there's something to do and nothing you shouldn't do. The blisters on your feet are from your own walking; if you know it's impossible but still indulge yourself, that's a problem with yourself.
Being alone was too depressing, so she sought out Cheng Guangxu.
“Zeng Zhongkang, do you want to come back to our hometown with me? We’ve finally returned to China, don’t go to the research institute so early.”
Zeng Zhongkang shook his head. If he wasn't going home for work, it would be understandable, but if he was going out, his father would probably get sick from anger.
"You're so boring. Hongmei should ask you what kind of wife you're looking for first."
"Oh? What kind are you looking for?"
"Someone who shares my interests, is kind and polite, and of course, has to be presentable and able to understand my work."
"These are hard to find. Do you have a target in mind?"
"Where do I have a target? Do you have a suitable place to introduce me to?"
Zeng Zhongkang shook his head. "We don't usually come into contact with women at all. Where am I supposed to introduce you to someone? Aren't any of your classmates suitable?"
"I almost forgot, they graduated this year too, and we haven't kept in touch."
Cai Peilin came in from outside. "What's going on with you two?"
Zeng Zhongkang made a rare joke, saying, "I'm looking for a wife for Cheng Guangxu."
"You have a goal?"
Cheng Guangxu rolled his eyes at the two of them. "What target? I only remembered this because Hongmei asked me! Alright. You two don't need to talk to me. We're all the same age. I should be getting married, and so should you."
By the way, Hongmei just mentioned our profit-sharing arrangement. The three of us agreed not to take her money. I told her we each get about 60,000. Hongmei said we should just deposit it when we get back, haha, saying even if we don't do anything, the interest will be enough for us to live on.
"So much?" Zeng Zhongkang knew that the dividends from the trading company alone were only a little over 20,000, so how could it be 60,000?
"Hongmei said the rest are the rewards for designing the game."
Cai Peilin poured himself a glass of water. "I never imagined that we would go abroad penniless and bring back so much money."
"Yes, Hongmei originally wanted to give each of us three 100,000 yuan."
After Cheng Guangxu finished speaking, both of them fell silent. One percent is forty thousand, and what about her continued investment? Zhang Hongmei has earned ten million in the past two years? What does that even mean?
"I've already made up my mind. From now on, I'll stick with Hongmei. Ever since I met her at the beginning of the semester, I've known that following her would be the right thing to do."
Cheng Guangxu remembered that he had asked Zhang Hongmei to go to the mathematics department, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
“Me too, I follow her orders and do whatever she tells me to do,” Cai Peilin said, expressing her thoughts.
“Hongmei will definitely make sure we get married when she comes back this time. You should start thinking about what kind of person to find now.”
Cai Peilin was stunned. What kind of wife he wanted was a really hard question. To be honest, he had never really thought about getting married and having children.
"So? Any ideas?"
Cai Peilin shook his head. "I don't know. I've never thought about it, and I don't plan to get married. It's too much trouble."
Zeng Zhongkang nodded, but he knew that this idea was simply not going to work and would not pass his father's approval.
"Your ideas are too naive. Look, even Aunt Wang has started a family. I think people get lonely when they get older. Let's just take things one step at a time."
You two really need to think about this quickly, otherwise, if it comes along and you miss it, you'll regret it.
Cai Peilin rolled her eyes at Cheng Guangxu. "Do you think this is buying cabbages? Conditions? Missing out?"
"Believe it or not, I've told Hongmei my conditions and asked her to help me find someone. If we really hit it off, I'll get married. I don't want to be lonely when I'm old."
Both of them decided to ignore Cheng Guangxu. They simply couldn't connect with him.
"Zeng Zhongkang, have you ever been to a military research institute?"
"No. Ordinary people can't go in."
"That would be like going to jail. I don't think they'll let us out easily."
“You should have a holiday,” Zeng Zhongkang reassured the two.
"Zeng Zhongkang, do you know the approximate address?"
"It's located deep in the mountains on the outskirts of the capital."
"Sigh! I can only leave my wife-finding to Zhang Hongmei. We're not allowed any free time. Where am I supposed to find a wife? Are there any women in the research institute?"
How would I know that?
"Sigh! Even if there are female comrades, they can't be together. Both of them are so busy, how will they have children in the future? How will they take care of the children?"
The two stared speechlessly at this oddball, thinking at the same time: You're overthinking it.
Cheng Guangxu didn't care what others thought. "You two, can I go to the leaders now and say I'm not going to the research institute anymore? I'll follow Hongmei and work on Zhao Haozheng."
"Come on, Hongmei has someone back home looking after her, her former bodyguard." Zeng Zhongkang was utterly speechless at this guy.
"Sigh! What else can I do? How about having Hongmei open a computer company in China? That's something I'm good at."
"You don't want to be a soldier anymore?"
"But you can't join the army just by going to a research institute, can you?"
"Cheng Guangxu, are you an idiot? That's a military research institute. Besides, if you went to be a regular soldier now, you probably wouldn't even last a day. At your running speed every day, the squad leader would be whipping you with a stick."
Besides, we've already been admitted to the research institute with military ranks. Don't you even have that much common sense?
"Is that so? Fine, I'll just stay here at the research institute then. When will I have a wife and a child?"
Both of them rubbed their foreheads in dismay. This guy must be missing his wife terribly! This kid's been through a traumatic experience.
"No, I have to go ask Hongmei. No matter what, I have to let her find me a wife." After saying that, Cheng Guangxi quickly left the room to find Zhang Hongmei.
"What's wrong with him?" Cai Peilin asked Zeng Zhongkang, watching him leave.
"I don't know. The first thing I did when I came in was talk about finding a wife."
"It's possible that Hongmei told him about it. He always treated Hongmei's words as gospel."
Cheng Guangxu arrived at Zhang Hongmei's door and knocked loudly.
"Hongmei, it's me. I need to talk to you."
Zhang Shouyi came out from inside. "Hongmei hasn't returned yet. Didn't she come looking for you?"
“She went, but she’s been out for a while now.”
"Cheng Guangxu, what do you want to see me about?" Zhang Hongmei walked over and stood next to him, asking.
