"I think it's a good idea!"
Seeing that Zhang Hongmei was very familiar with the two of them, Liu Jingze felt that he should give them more help.
He knew better than anyone that a local official was more powerful than a distant one. He still had considerable authority to provide them with favors.
Carlos seems to have feelings for Hongmei, but Hongmei doesn't show her any special interest. They're both in the same boat.
“Hongmei, Manager Liu gave us some advice. We’ve also discussed it and decided that our family will build an electrical appliance factory in Haishi, while the Roy family will build a home appliance factory. In the north, we will be the home appliance factory, and they will be the electrical appliance factory.”
"Hehe, that's good, you can help each other out."
Liu Jingze continued, "Hongmei, where will the factory in the north be built?"
"How about L City? It's close to the capital and has convenient transportation."
"Okay, I'll find Mayor L tomorrow and have a talk with him."
Carlos and Wyatt had no objections whatsoever; they absolutely trusted Zhang Hongmei, and they were certain that the address she had chosen would not be wrong.
"Let's go to the front living room. Wang Ying should be back soon. She had some problems today, so she didn't come back at noon."
The three of them followed Zhang Hongmei slowly. Su Chen had strictly forbidden Zhang Hongmei from walking fast, so this was the only pace they could manage.
“Brother Jingze, Sister Erya and Brother Zhuzi have also come over.”
"Hehe, then you won't be lonely for the next month."
"Yeah, let Chengzi pick up Song Zigan later. I wonder if that guy is going back to his hometown for the New Year this year? If he is, he can travel with Brother Zhuzi. Brother Jingze, can you help me buy a sleeper ticket?"
"I'm not high enough level right now!" Liu Jingze said with a wry smile, unable to meet the demands of the woman he liked.
“Okay, I think Grandpa and Dad are of the right rank. If Song Zigan goes back too, I’ll have Chengzi buy the tickets tomorrow.”
My first train ride was quite an ordeal.
Liu Jingze also thought of the past, a sweet smile on his face.
Carlos and Wyatt realized that this Mr. Liu, the person in charge, also liked Hongmei. They were in the same boat!
The five of them entered the living room, and Wang Ying had indeed returned. She and Er Ya were very close, so the two sat down to one side and chatted and laughed quietly.
Carlos and Wyatt greeted the two elderly people.
"How are you doing? Are you getting used to it? If there's anything you don't like, just say so, don't be shy."
Liu Jingze explained something to Wyatt, and both of them thanked Gu Chuanming for his concern.
"Wang Ying, do you have any suitable office space available?"
Wang Ying shook her head. "No, but there are two shops that I want to rent. I'm discussing it with Er Ya. I'd like to rent them and set up an underwear shop there too."
Zhang Hongmei nodded, "Sure, we won't lose money no matter what."
Er Ya replied to Zhang Hongmei's words, "Alright, count me in."
"Okay, I'll go prepare it."
Zhang Hongmei didn't know where to find an office for Carlos and his team. Should she build an office building herself? But that would take a year or two.
"Wang Ying, find a house close to us."
“We have one right now. I took some people to see it today. It's a two-courtyard house, and it's all set up today. They don't want to sell it, and the owners aren't even in town, so they entrusted it to us.”
“Okay, I’ll take Carlos and the other two to have a look tomorrow. They’re looking for office space, but we don’t have any suitable places here, so we’ll use a residential house for now. Keep an eye out for that in the future. If you find a suitable place, let them know.”
"good."
Carlos listened to their conversation and knew that the woman was Zeng Zhongkang's wife. She had an ordinary appearance, but she was very neat and efficient.
"Thank you, could you please take us there tomorrow morning?"
“Okay, no problem. We’ll go there tomorrow morning. And the rent isn’t high, only ten dollars a month. But they require that we not damage their building. So we need a deposit of five hundred dollars.”
“No problem.” Carlos and Wyatt each brought a million dollars, which will arrive tomorrow. Besides, there’s Zhang Hongmei, so there’s really no worry about the money.
Er Ya looked at the two foreigners with some curiosity. She thought Hong Mei was really amazing, being able to live in such a country for three years.
It was 6:30 when Zhang Shouyi returned home. Dinner was as plentiful as ever, but there were more vegetarian dishes than meat dishes; the only meat dishes were the slaughtered chicken, roast goose, pig's head meat, and sausage.
She actually steamed shrimp dumplings. Sanya beamed. Erya glared at her, annoyed.
Zhang Shouyi rarely spoke in front of outsiders, and Zhang Hongmei had long been used to it, but she took very good care of him.
Their family was used to their way of getting along, but Carlos and Wyatt were a little surprised.
This high-ranking leader took exceptionally good care of Zhang Hongmei. Even if Zhang Hongmei didn't like a particular dish, he would still serve it to her, but there would never be a second time.
Wyatt already knew how to use chopsticks. He ate steamed dumplings and drank rice porridge, thinking that Chinese people really knew how to eat.
Sanya ate a whole tray of food, which was only eight pieces, but it was still quite a lot. Erya wouldn't let her eat any more, afraid that she would feel unwell that night.
Looking at Sanya's aggrieved expression, Zhang Hongmei said, "Sister Erya, let Sanya eat her fill today. If that's not enough, let her wander around the yard for an hour tonight so she won't get indigestion."
"Sister Hongmei, you're too cruel! I'd rather not eat, I'll just have some porridge."
Stone didn't care anymore and ate three baskets of food. Zhang Shouyi then handed him the food in front of him.
"Brother-in-law, aren't you going to eat?"
"I eat light meals in the evening. I don't like to eat dry rice."
"Hehe, give them all to me."
"Second Uncle, is that enough for you? Can I give you the other two as well?"
"No need, you should eat more. Otherwise, how will you grow taller?"
Gu Chuanming and Zhang Xingguo also gave the steamed dumplings to Shi Tou.
"Second sister, why can second brother eat so much?"
"He can digest stones, how can you compare to him?"
Sanya immediately lost her temper. Yes, her stomach really wasn't as strong as her second brother's.
"Brother Zhu, when are you going back to your hometown?" Zhang Hongmei looked at Zhu, who was silent to the side, afraid that he would feel ignored.
Zhu Zi smiled憨厚ly, "I'll buy the tickets tomorrow, but the time is still uncertain."
"Brother Zhu, Brother Cheng went to see Song Zigan today. He wasn't at school, but he left a message for him. He should come over tomorrow. If he goes home, the two of you can go together and look after each other."
"Grandpa, Dad, can we get sleeper tickets?"
"Sure, Chengzi can go and buy it."
"Grandpa, surely you can buy your qualifications, right?"
Zhang Shouyi looked at his wife, who was acting foolishly, and there was really nothing he could do. Old Gu's seniority was enough to fill a whole train carriage.
"Sure, it's no big deal. Chengzi's qualifications can be bought."
