I'll be updating with a whopping 70,000 words tomorrow!
After Harry finished his call, he sat down opposite Zhang Hongmei.
"Zhang, did you graduate a year early? That's amazing!"
"Hehe, I just miss home."
At this point, Harry greeted Zeng Zhongkang and the others again. They had only met once before, but the three of them were still quite enthusiastic when they arrived in their own country.
"Mr. Harry, how are you doing here?"
"Life is a bit tough, but everything else is fine. What I'm most satisfied with is my sales performance; I really made the right choice coming here."
"That's great. I'm relieved that you have no regrets or disappointment."
"How could that be? I don't lie to anyone. Sales here are twice as high as in China. Even if it means leaving my homeland, I'm willing to do it. And sales are increasing every month."
"That's good. Mr. Harry. I have a small suggestion: don't stick to the old ways. You should still do research and try to reduce the engine's fuel consumption and increase its utilization rate. That way, you can capture the market sooner."
"Hehe, as expected of Zhang, you hit the nail on the head. My son will be coming over this month with his new research findings, and we can start improving things here right away."
"Congratulations, Mr. Harry."
"Xiao Li, please give Mr. Harry our home phone number. Call me if you need anything; I'll definitely help if I can. I won't refuse."
"Thank you so much. I'll definitely need your help in the future."
"It's okay. I hope you can do well here, so that it's a win-win situation for both of us."
Just then, someone came in; it was Roger McCann.
Zhang Hongmei stood up, and the two shook hands. "Miss."
Roger, are you settling in well here?
“Of course, I found my value here.”
"Congratulations. I only arrived this morning. I'll be very busy for a while, so please call me if you need anything."
Xiao Li also handed over his phone number.
"Okay. Take a look at our company's accounts when you have time. From now on, you will be in charge of managing this place."
Zhang Hongmei shook her head, "I don't have time."
"Young Miss, this is what the head of the family instructed before he came. I will not leave; I will continue to manage this place directly. You will be responsible for auditing the accounts and making decisions."
"Carlos didn't give any instructions. But I won't stand idly by." Indeed, she was, after all, the eldest daughter of the McCann family. She really couldn't ignore it.
Bill also came in; this short foreigner looked ruddy-faced.
"Zhang, welcome back."
“Mr. Bill, you seem very comfortable here; it’s obvious from your appearance.”
"Right? Coming here was the wisest choice for me."
"It's great that you think that way. I wish you even greater success in the future."
Xiao Li also handed over the phone number and wrote down all three numbers.
Peter Behrens had met Zhang Hongmei before, but they were just acquaintances; they shook hands.
Hello, Ms. Zhang.
"How are you feeling about our country?"
Peter smiled and said, "Aside from the exciting aspects of my career, I haven't adjusted to the lifestyle yet. But I can overcome it."
"Heh, so you're saying that as long as there's money to be made, everything else can be ignored?"
“Yes, that’s right. Wyatt told me to come to you if I needed anything. Now that you’re finally back, I have a lot of things I need your advice on.”
"I'm so sorry. I just got back today and I won't be free for at least a while. Also, the old folks are waiting for me right now, so I'll have to sacrifice your time tonight to call me and we can talk on the phone. Or you could come to my house, but that would probably be in the evening too, as I have a lot of friends to meet during the day."
"Okay. I'll call you tonight to confirm the time, and I'll drive over myself."
"That would be best. You all can do the same, but I really don't know anything about machinery, so I can't help with that."
Xiao Li wrote down Peter Behrens's phone number. Listening to their conversation, he was shocked. He knew the lady was capable, but he hadn't expected her to be this capable.
During the three years that his wife was away, his superiors made him learn a foreign language. He could only understand more than half of their conversations, but his admiration for Zhang Hongmei was boundless.
It's been an hour and a half now, why hasn't Zhou Changrong come over yet?
Zhang Hongmei was getting a little anxious. It would take more than half an hour to get back to the retirement home. The old man must be getting impatient.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, something came up and I was delayed. I apologize for being late." A woman dressed somewhat extravagantly followed behind her.
Zhang Hongmei didn't show her displeasure at his lateness. Zeng Zhongkang and the others greeted Zhou Changrong.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm in a hurry. This is my phone number. Please contact me if you need anything."
"Okay. When you're done with your work, I'd like to know about things at home."
"Okay. I'll be back in a few days when I'm done with my work, then we can talk again."
"Hey! You're just here and leaving?"
Zhang Hongmei didn't even look at the woman who spoke in a sarcastic tone. However, Xiao Li stood up.
"Alright, I've taken up everyone's time today. I'll head back now. Roger, if you have any urgent business, you can come to my house to find me."
"Xiao Li, give the address to Roger."
After Zhang Hongmei finished speaking, she shook hands with several people. When it was Zhou Changrong's turn, she shook hands with him and smiled.
Zhou Changrong also felt extremely embarrassed by this clueless person.
Zhang Hongmei thought to herself, "Zhou Changrong really is just as blind."
The five people got into the car and left. The remaining few exchanged pleasantries for a while before also leaving.
Harry and his friends understood why Roger and Peter were only given their addresses. What kind of relationship did they have? One was family, and the other was a business partner. They were definitely better off than outsiders like themselves.
However, Zhou Changrong felt somewhat displeased. But reason prevailed. This wasn't something he should be bothered with.
Both are textile factories, but Zhao Tiancheng's company has support and assistance; even without his direct involvement, it's far better than my own. Thinking about this made me feel disheartened.
"Evergreen, they really don't respect you at all."
Zhou Changrong didn't speak, but walked ahead silently with his head down.
Yang Xue, standing behind her, stomped her foot in anger. She was a beautiful young woman, yet she was with a man older than her father. Not only did he not let her give him money, but he also didn't try to appease her. She had really miscalculated.
She followed Zhou Changrong resentfully. She had no choice; she was already following him, and aside from not giving her money, he was quite generous with her when it came to buying her clothes.
Zhou Changrong got into the car, and after Yang Xue got in, he drove away without saying a word. He felt resentful.
