"Hehe, there was nothing wrong at first, but seeing Vice Chairman Zhang here has caused trouble again."
"So what do you want from me?"
"Of course they're concerned about my dividends."
Zhang Hongmei thought that Shan Mianzhi was reliable this time, so she brought Zhou Jianwei in.
“Vice Chairman Zhou can wait. The clothing will arrive at the building soon, and it will officially go on sale on Saturday morning, so I don’t know either.”
“Vice Chairman Zhang, we don’t need to be so formal.”
"Hehe." Zhang Hongmei didn't say anything.
Zhou Jianwei sat on the edge of the table, saw the paper Zhang Hongmei had scribbled on, picked it up and looked at it. "Vice Chairman Zhang is truly multi-talented, no wonder she is a female champion. I wonder if I have the opportunity to invite the champion to dinner?"
"Excuse me, I have an appointment. Vice Chairman Zhou, I need to go back to the classroom. Outsiders are not allowed in the finance department. So, please leave, I need to lock the door."
"Great! I hope Vice Chairman Zhang will do me the honor of hosting another dinner in the future."
Zhang Hongmei just smiled and didn't say anything. Back in the classroom, many students were reading, while a few were resting on their desks.
Zhang Hongmei also lay on the table, resting with her eyes closed.
When school ended in the evening, Zhang Hongmei pushed her bike out of the school gate and saw a bicycle parked at the entrance of Xinyuan in the distance, and Xiao Li was waving at her from not far away.
Xiao Li came over and took Zhang Hongmei's bicycle. "The Party Secretary asked me to pick you up."
The two arrived at the compound, and Xiao Li opened the gate and then left.
Zhang Hongmei went to the kitchen and found it to be quite good. There was rice, flour, oil, sugar, and some prepared chives. There was also a piece of pork covered in a bowl.
After thinking about it, I decided to make dumplings. Zhang Shouyi called me over, and I figured Xiao Li would be coming to pick me up soon, so I should get ready right away.
First, we made the dough, picked the chives, and then chopped the meat filling. Because Zhang Shouyi liked a lot of meat, we added some chives.
When Zhang Hongmei finished packing and they still hadn't returned, she tidied up the kitchen. Sitting in the living room was boring; someone must clean the house regularly, so Zhang Hongmei, having nothing else to do, took out a book.
Zhang Shouyi was held up by an unexpected situation, but his bad mood immediately improved when he saw the lights on at home, knowing that someone was waiting for him.
Hearing the sounds outside, Zhang Hongmei knew that Zhang Shouyi had returned.
Zhang Shouyi strode in and said, "Sorry I'm late."
"It's alright, work is important. I'll go boil some water right now. The dumplings are all wrapped up."
"I'll go with you."
It was already nine o'clock after dinner, and it was really late. After Zhang Hongmei finished washing up, she found Zhang Shouyi waiting for her in the living room.
"Hongmei, your bedroom is all tidied up. Come on, let's take a look. If there's anything you don't like, we can change it."
Zhang Hongmei didn't care about this; it was just a matter of taking a nap. But seeing Zhang Shouyi's rather high level of interest, she couldn't bear to refuse, and the two went upstairs together.
The room arranged for Zhang Hongmei was next to Zhang Shouyi's. When the door opened, Zhang Hongmei smiled. He really treated her like a daughter. The curtains, sheets, and duvet cover were all pink with orchid patterns.
It really is a Simmons mattress from abroad; the headboard has a European style and is somewhat upholstered. There's also a pink floor-length mosquito net with lace trim.
There was also a large stall on the ground. It had a very princess-like feel to it.
Zhang Hongmei glanced at Zhang Shouyi with a smile. "Brother Zhang, this is a room prepared for your future daughter. It's not really appropriate for me to stay here." Seeing Zhang Shouyi's stiff expression, Zhang Hongmei burst into laughter. It was too funny.
Zhang Shouyi, look at Zhang Hongmei who's laughing uncontrollably, and ask, "You really want to be my daughter?"
"Haha, hehe, how could that be? You have a daughter as big as me?"
"But your behavior wasn't like that at all?"
"What did I do? I just think this room is too princess-like. Your future daughter will be a princess, won't she?"
"Do you really think this room is childish and ridiculous?"
Zhang Hongmei straightened her smile. "It's childish, but not funny. It's actually quite good. It shows a father's love for his daughter. I'm laughing because I can't stay here. Don't overthink it."
"But this is what I prepared for you, and it also shows how much I love you."
"Alright, alright, this will be my room from now on." Zhang Hongmei was really intimidated by Zhang Shouyi's serious expression.
It's nice to be able to relive my girlish dreams.
"Is it really not necessary to make any changes?"
"No need, this is fine as it is. I just think I'm too old for this little girl's equipment."
"You've grown up? I didn't realize."
"Seriously, this is so annoying. Can't I say I'm mature? Hurry up and go back, I want to sleep, maybe I can still have a princess dream."
"So early? Shall we wait a bit? Aren't you going to keep me company?"
"Here I am, aren't I? I have to drive tomorrow, so I need to rest early."
"Okay. It was my fault today. I promise I won't be late next time."
"I really don't blame you; your work is important."
"That's how you understand me?"
"Yes, I really understand you."
"Okay, you can rest now."
"Don't work too late. People say staying up late ages you faster," Zhang Hongmei said with a smile as she closed the door.
Zhang Shouyi stood outside the door for a while, thinking that this girl was really clueless. What should he do? He had to talk to Wang Xinyi about this girl.
Zhang Hongmei got up very early the next morning. The dough she had prepared the night before was ready, and she steamed some buns. Eating chives on the train was just too unpleasant; white flour buns were much better. She didn't know what she could get outside. She also made rice porridge and pickled vegetables.
Zhang Shouyi woke up as soon as Zhang Hongmei got up, and lay lazily in bed. In fact, he had only slept for three or four hours.
It feels so good to be able to stay in bed and have my beloved girl cook for me. It would be even better if there were children crawling all over me.
After lingering for a while, I decided to get up and help, not wanting my girl to be too tired.
"Brother Zhang, why are you up so early too?"
Did you sleep well last night?
"It's very comfortable. I love Simmons mattresses."
“I’m glad you like it. It’s a pity that the bed in Xinyuan can’t use this kind of mattress. No problem, I’ll find someone to make you the thickest one, which won’t be as hard as this one.”
Zhang Hongmei kept working, saying, "No need, the bed in Xinyuan is already very comfortable. Dinner will be ready soon, go wash up."
Zhang Shouyi happily went to the bathroom. It was so nice to have someone looking after you. Soon, he'd be able to live like this; he could wait.
Xiao Li didn't dare to come over and disturb him, afraid of being looked at coldly by his boss. It was only in front of this young woman that he showed such a genuine smile.
