"Wife, of course they want to develop it vigorously. Some of the steel they produce can't even supply these foreign companies."
The remaining companies are also doing very well. With such lucrative profits, none of them would give up.
Zhao Tiancheng's textile factory is also very good. And that guy surnamed Zhou, he's very shrewd; the fabric his factory produces is somewhat similar to the underwear factory you mentioned.”
After listening, Zhang Hongmei began to admire Zhou Changrong. He was a capable man, and a comeback wouldn't be a problem for him.
"Brother Zhang, how is Liu Jingsong?"
"Aunt Li sent him to kindergarten. He's a pretty good kid."
"That's good."
The two chatted for a while longer before Zhang Hongmei put down the recorder and went to sleep.
The next day, after breakfast, Zeng Zhongkang took the two of them home.
"You two so early? Can you eat some more?"
“Godmother, please go eat. We’ve already eaten. I’ll go find the housekeeper and have a swing installed in the backyard.”
"Okay, go ahead."
Zhang Hongmei gave instructions to the housekeeper. Then she handed all the letters to Beth. "Godfather, they're all here. It's just the letters. I didn't choose any gifts for them; it's too much trouble to go back and forth."
"What's the trouble? Alright, I'll have someone send it to him."
Carlos wasn't in a hurry to go to work; he sat in the living room drinking coffee.
"Hongmei, what do you want at the auction?"
"I don't know yet. I only heard from my godfather that there was an auction, but I don't know anything else."
"I have inside information that your country's national treasure will appear."
Zhang Hongmei's eyes widened. "Is the news reliable?"
Carlos nodded.
"Okay, I'll go back and raise the money now."
"No need, my family will cover it for you first, and you can give me the other thing later."
Zhang Hongmei frowned and thought for a moment. "Okay, I understand."
Wyatt said he wanted those plots of land.
"Yes, we discussed this issue in our meeting, and I think it's a good idea."
"Alright, you stay home with Mom. I'm going to work."
Elizabeth came out of the dining room and ran into Carlos. The two simply nodded to each other. Zhang Hongmei found it very puzzling; the way the couple interacted was truly strange.
Annie ran in from the backyard just then, arriving just in time to see her father off.
"Miss, thank you for taking care of Annie."
Zhang Hongmei raised an eyebrow. "Annie is my goddaughter. It's only right that I take care of her!"
"Miss, I didn't mean anything by it, I just want to express my sincere gratitude."
Zhang Hongmei just smiled and didn't say anything, wondering what was bothering her and why she wanted to vent it on her.
Elizabeth also regretted her words. She really hadn't thought much about it, but seeing her husband stay behind to talk to this young lady made her feel a little uncomfortable.
When Huang Meihua came out of the greenhouse, she sensed that the two people in the living room were a little awkward, and when she saw her daughter-in-law looking at her with a somewhat aggrieved expression, she narrowed her eyes.
"Hongmei, I heard the movie is very popular?"
“Hehe, godmother, I almost got scolded to death by Wyatt. I forgot about the movie's screening time, didn't I? He exploited me, making me write five complete scripts in a week.”
"You're so carefree. You've already forgotten? But Wyatt did go a bit too far."
"Right? I think so too." Huang Meihua chatted with him in Mandarin, so he just went along with it; there was no need for this lady to know.
Elizabeth felt extremely embarrassed. She couldn't understand what the two were saying at all, and intuitively felt that they were talking about her, but with Huang Meihua there, she really didn't dare to ask.
She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Why couldn't they use Y language when she was here? But she didn't show it on her face.
But who is Huang Meihua? Elizabeth's thoughts were clear from her eyes. This daughter-in-law is too easily swayed.
Then he chatted with Zhang Hongmei in Mandarin. He now knew the girl's temper; she wouldn't embarrass someone for no reason. He decided to try to make her happy.
Zhang Hongmei didn't care about the matter at all. Annie ran over and said, "Mom, the swing is all set up. Shall we go play together?"
"Okay, Mom will push you from behind."
"Come on, Grandma, let's go take a look. I had some in my yard when I was little. But my mother wouldn't let me play with them."
"Grandma, you play first, I'll push you from behind."
"Hehe, my sweet darling. Grandma is too old to play any exciting games. I'll just watch you two play."
Elizabeth watched the three of them leave with smiles, then stood up and followed behind.
When I saw the shelf in the yard, I didn't understand what it was.
But when Annie sat down and saw the person pushing her from behind, she understood. It seemed quite novel, and she became eager to try it out.
Of course, I wouldn't say it outright, but watching them play, I was still quite envious.
When Beth returned, she was drawn over by the sound of her granddaughter's laughter in the backyard.
"Haha, this is great, Annie likes it very much."
"Yes, Grandpa, Grandma Wang made some for me and Ningning too, and they were really interesting. Mom also asked the housekeeper to make some, so we have some in our house now."
"Hehe, as long as my granddaughter likes it. Okay, you guys play, Grandpa's going to work."
After playing for about an hour, Annie asked, "Mommy, what time is it?"
It's almost ten o'clock.
"Mom, shall I play the piano for you?"
"Okay! We should go inside now. The sun is too strong and you'll get sunburned."
After the two returned, Elizabeth secretly sat on the swing and swayed slowly, finding it particularly interesting.
Anne, whose piano was right below the window, saw what was happening. "Mom, look, she's playing on the swing."
“Annie, it’s okay. This is family, and she’s family too. Of course she can play.”
"Oh." Annie was a little unhappy, but since her mother had said so, she let it go.
Elizabeth swung higher and higher, feeling a little scared, but the swing wasn't going to stop immediately. She let out a sharp scream.
Upon hearing this, two of the maids ran over.
"You two grab the rope!" Zhang Hongmei shouted from upstairs, and the two of them reacted.
The swing stopped, and the two men helped Elizabeth, whose legs were weak, down. "Madam, be careful."
"Mom, I feel a bit disgusted with her."
“Annie, don’t be like that. You can’t be petty. Besides, she probably didn’t play this when she was little, and she’s a little envious watching you play. She wants to try it too. Annie, don’t reject her or feel disgusted by her. You’ll be living together for a long time to come.”
"I understand. Mom, ever since my three aunts came, I feel that you have changed and are not the same as before."
