"Hehe. I think it will be a trend in the future." Zhang Hongmei said, blushing a little. This was something she had learned from constantly browsing her WeChat Moments and seeing advertisements in her previous life.
"I will find someone to be in charge of this project."
"Brother Zhang, look! The sun is peeking out and it's about to rise!" Zhang Hongmei was a little excited, probably because she had someone by her side.
Facing the rising sun, the two of them, as if by unspoken agreement, thought of a single thought: "Hope!"
Yes, it is hope, rising hope.
The wind was strong on the mountain. After half an hour, both of them were sweating, and Zhang Hongmei felt a bit cold.
Zhang Shouyi took off his coat and draped it over Zhang Hongmei's shoulders. "Let's go back. Will you come with me to work?"
"No, that's confidential. I'm not going to go and bother you. I'm going home to do my homework and study. The exam is in two weeks, and I don't want to do too badly."
The two chatted as they descended the mountain. People say going up a mountain is easy, but coming down is hard, but Zhang Hongmei didn't seem to feel that way. Perhaps it was because her home was near the mountains, and she often went up them.
It was almost eight o'clock when the two arrived home, and Aunt Li hurriedly prepared hot water for them.
After taking a shower, changing his clothes, and drinking a cup of milk powder prepared by Zhang Hongmei, Zhang Shouyi drove away.
Zhang Hongmei returned to her study and focused on her studies, after all, she really couldn't afford to look too bad.
At noon, Xiao Li brought Wang Ying back, and the girl was particularly listless.
What happened to Wang Ying?
"Don't worry, everything's fine, and she's alright."
"Okay, I understand." Zhang Hongmei helped Wang Ying back to her bedroom.
"Wang Ying, do you feel resentful?" Zhang Hongmei felt a little embarrassed, but this involved her safety, so she absolutely could not take it lightly.
Wang Ying sat at the table, took a sip of water, and said, "I have no complaints. Only in this way can I prove my innocence. Besides, in our line of work, we all have similar experiences every now and then, but none of them are as domineering as the deputy leader. Don't worry, I won't have any complaints. This is one of our professional ethics."
Zhang Hongmei felt a little sad, but she could finally relax after this incident, at least she wouldn't have a ticking time bomb next to her.
"Okay, I'm a little embarrassed about this, but doing it this way will save us some trouble in our future interactions."
"And what would you like to eat? I'll ask Aunt Li to make it."
“Hongmei, no need, I don’t have an appetite right now, you don’t need to worry about me.”
"Okay, if you're hungry, just go find Aunt Li. You look really tired, so you should rest."
"Okay. I'll rest for a bit."
After Zhang Hongmei left for a while, Wang Ying rushed to the spittoon, squatted down, and dry heaved. She had been holding it in because she didn't want Zhang Hongmei to worry.
The boss's methods are really ruthless; this medicine is too potent. I need to be more careful with what I say from now on; I don't want to suffer like this again.
I had cold noodles for lunch. There were fewer people eating today, so the meal was much shorter.
After dinner, it was time to talk with Wang Xinyi again. Later, Wang Xinyi would read foreign classics to her and even asked Zhang Hongmei to read them to her.
The two didn't finish until three or four in the afternoon. Wang Xinyi pulled Zhang Hongmei to rest in the garden.
"Hongmei, my supervisor told me that the work needs to be done ahead of schedule. I need to ask for a few days off to go back and prepare."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'm fine here. I'll read this classic every day."
"Yes, I trust you. You'll adapt quickly once we get abroad."
"Hehe, I also hope that the faster I adapt, the sooner I can come back."
"Hehe, I don't have a particularly strong expectation of coming back or not, as long as I'm with you, that's enough."
"Hehe, I really want to go home as soon as possible. I don't even feel safe here, let alone abroad."
Half an hour later, the two returned to the study to continue. Wang Xinyi now had Zhang Hongmei practice writing, since things were different for her than for herself. She had gone to avoid trouble, while Zhang Hongmei had gone to study, so it was better for her to master writing as soon as possible.
Zhang Shouyi returned at six o'clock in the evening. "Hongmei, Old Gu will probably be away for a few days. The car he ordered for you can be delivered tomorrow."
"What kind of car? A sedan?"
"Yes, this time we imported several cars from abroad, and Old Gu asked for one for you."
"I don't want it. How about I get you a truck instead? Brother Zhang, how much does a truck cost?"
"Buy? Individuals can't buy it."
“Then help me borrow a truck. I’ll drive to the border and bring them some supplies.”
Zhang Shouyi understood Zhang Hongmei's meaning and thought it would work.
Do you have that many supplies?
"You don't need to worry about that. Just focus on getting the car ready. Also, I'm not taking anyone with me this time, just me. Do you trust me?"
Zhang Shouyi rubbed Zhang Hongmei's head and said, "You're really brave. I agree, but you have to talk to Old Master Gu yourself."
"Okay, I'll do it myself."
"Isn't it troublesome for you to stay out here? You can just go back after you finish eating. There are several people at home."
"It's alright, I've arranged everything. Hongmei, I've been waiting for you to ask me about Zhou Yuanqing."
"Can I say I don't want to know now? I know that he must be suffering more than if he were dead, and that would be the greatest punishment for him."
"Okay, you can just ask me if you want to know later."
Are you relieved about Wang Ying?
"Hmm, am I being too cruel? Actually, I think if I were in Wang Ying's shoes, I wouldn't be without resentment at all."
"Hehe. That's because you haven't experienced their real lives. This is also their rule. Don't think about it anymore. If you really don't like her, just let her go. I've also prepared another bodyguard for you. Don't rush to refuse. This one is also a girl. Listen to me. You'll be away for several years. I'm really worried about you."
"What's there to worry about? I'm going out to study, not to cause trouble. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's really unnecessary for me to bring so many people with me."
"You should meet this person tomorrow. Besides protecting you, she also went there to learn. Leave everything you can't do to her."
"I'd rather not. It's really inconvenient. I was planning to secretly bring the farm machinery back from abroad, but with so many people around, it's easy to get caught."
"No, that's too dangerous. I'll figure out a way to get the farm machinery."
“I’ll do it. We can bring it back and research and manufacture it ourselves. If you take the main route, you’ll get into trouble.”
"Then I'll send a few more of my own people over there. They won't be with you, but they can provide cover for you. You need people like that. I'll arrange their identities."
