As Zhao Hao sat down, he continued, "Don't think that we're doing this for you. There are at least 800 to 1,000 Chinese people here. How can we possibly take care of them all?"
Maybe you still think that we are all Chinese, yes, we are from the same hometown, but does that mean we have an obligation to clean up your messes?
The boss contacted my dad and gave each of you a living allowance. Ha, you think this is all you're entitled to? Which Chinese person who comes here didn't struggle for their own food? This is just a gesture of goodwill, but please don't take it for granted. We don't owe you anything.
Zhao Haozheng's words were very impolite. After he finished speaking, everyone's faces turned red, whether from anger or shame, it was hard to tell.
Zhao Tiancheng came in and said, "Haozheng, you're exaggerating. They're still young."
"Dad, you can take care of them because they're young, but here in society, who cares about their age?"
"Alright, the leaders entrusted them to me, so I have to take care of them."
I hope that after this incident, you will understand that not everyone is kind, and their malice can be far more barbaric. You should have learned your lesson from this experience.
"Alright, that's all over now. There's not enough room here, so I'll take you back."
"Mr. Zhao, let's just make do in the living room. You should go and rest. It's not too cold to go without a blanket," Han Guangtai said politely to Zhao Tiancheng, since it might be too late to go to the school at this hour.
"Xinyi, bring them all the bedding we have."
"Okay, I understand. Go upstairs and check on Hongmei. She needs to talk to you."
"Aunt Wang, let them squeeze in with us." Cheng Guangxu still couldn't bear to see these people in the living room while he had a room all to himself.
"Thank you, Cheng Guangxu." The group thanked him, though they didn't really want to trouble him, but it was his kindness.
Zeng Zhongkang also stood up, "I'll go too." He and Zhao Tiancheng went upstairs together.
Zhang Hongmei was reading when she heard a knock on the door. "Come in."
The three sat down, and Zeng Zhongkang got straight to the point, saying, "Zhang Hongmei, your classmate is no ordinary person. You should stay away from him."
"Yes, I know, I haven't thought about making friends."
"Classmate? What classmate?"
Zeng Zhongkang told Zhao Tiancheng what had happened that day, focusing on Roy's situation.
"Oh? Hongmei, what's that person's name?"
Wyattroy.
"That's a really big shot. Their family has influence in both the legitimate and underworld circles. They're among the top three families in the US."
Zeng Zhongkang's expression darkened further upon hearing this news; this was a troublesome character.
"Heh, no matter how powerful they are, I'll be fine as long as I don't provoke them."
“Hongmei, you did the right thing. There’s no need to have any contact with them. Just keep them as classmates.” Zhao Tiancheng also felt that things were not easy to handle. This family was notoriously lecherous and difficult to deal with.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Zeng Zhongkang knew they had something to talk about, so he stood up and left without saying a word.
“Mr. Zhao, I want all kinds of agricultural machinery. I have a way to get them, but I need you to help me purchase them and put them on your farm. This isn't urgent; it can be done after the autumn harvest. But before that, could you help me contact the machinery manufacturers? If so, I'd like to talk to them about cooperation.”
Zhao Tiancheng smiled and said, "No problem, I can handle both of these matters for you. The question is, can you make the decision about the cooperation?"
"I can do it, so you can rest assured. This is a great thing that benefits the country and its people. It just depends on whether the businessmen from the United States dare to go."
"I've always had this idea. I didn't even have a chance to say it when the leader sent me the message last time. If all the machinery, including diesel engines, could really be produced domestically, then our economy would develop rapidly."
"Then you'll have to go and contact the manufacturer. I'll wait for your good news."
"Okay, is there anything else?"
"That's all. You should go and rest too; it's getting late."
After seeing Zhao Tiancheng off, Zhang Hongmei felt that things had gone a little too smoothly. However, she preferred to believe that it was just good luck.
Back in the bedroom, I went into my online space to write a letter to Zhang Shouyi, dividing today's events into two separate letters.
Especially regarding the machinery manufacturer, if we can really reach an agreement, it will save us a lot of trouble. Even if the machinery is brought back and the books are translated, we still need time to study them.
If a manufacturer could directly enter the market, it would be beneficial for both parties. Looking at Zhao Tiancheng's expression, it seemed this matter could be partially resolved.
That would be ideal. However, I think we should still bring the machinery back and have our own people study it first. If it works out, we'll have the upper hand in the negotiations.
The second letter recounted the events of the day, including the Wyattray incident, mainly because there might be a conflict of interest involved. It also included evaluations of the ten men, filling two entire pages.
Zhang Shouyi read Zhang Hongmei's letter immediately. He agreed with Zhang Hongmei's views in the first letter, but the second letter made Zhang Shouyi frown. He knew about the Roy family, but had never had any contact with them. In his previous life, they had wanted to come here to develop, but because the head of the family suddenly passed away, the newly appointed head of the family wanted to consolidate his position, so the trip did not happen.
It seems the new head of the Roy family is named Wyatt. He's a difficult character to deal with; among his many brothers, anyone who has managed to become the head of the family is no ordinary person.
He picked up his pen and handed over all the responsibilities of the machinery factory to Zhang Hongmei, letting her take charge.
Regarding the Roy family, he advised Zhang Hongmei to avoid antagonizing them, but not to worry about any inappropriate actions by Roy. He also hinted that Wyatt Roy would be the future head of the family, and that the man was too cunning to be trusted.
As Zhang Shouyi wrote this, he felt particularly uneasy. Why was his wife so attractive? Why did she still have so many suitors even abroad? She was such a worry.
It's too far away, and I can't reach it that far. Sometimes I feel like I have the will but not the strength.
The only consolation is that this girl will definitely not stay abroad. There are too many things holding her back.
I think the best thing I ever did was to marry this girl. She's a traditional person, and I believe she would never betray me.
After finishing the letter, I felt something was off. It turned out that the girl hadn't mentioned the situation of those people; she had only complained about them. Given the girl's soft-hearted nature, she definitely wouldn't abandon them. I still had faith in her.
