Wang Ying drove, and she and Zhao Tiancheng chatted along the way.
"Wang Ying, let's go to Q City to see my friends first. We'll have to stay there for a day."
"Great. Uncle, you have quite a few friends."
"I've lived there for over twenty years, how could I not have a few friends? We can't say we share the same ideals, but we get along well in terms of temperament and personality."
"You're such a nice guy."
Zhao Tiancheng just smiled. It's a matter of personality.
"Wang Ying, you've really worked hard this time. If you're tired, I'll drive."
"No need, the road to Q City isn't far, I'm perfectly fine."
The two arrived around 4 p.m.
Wang Ying drove directly to Harry's engine factory. It's currently undergoing expansion and looks quite large.
The two old friends met, and there was an indescribable warmth between them.
"Uncle, I'm going back to the car to rest. Just let me know if you need anything." Wang Ying declined Harry's offer to stay in the rest room and instead read a book in the car.
"Zhao, what brings you here?"
"I just came back with my wife and kids to visit, and we'll go back in two or three months."
"Heh, I knew it. Your company doesn't need to worry at all."
"Yes, how is it? With such a large expansion area, it must be a great success!"
"Yes, it's been developing here for more than three years, and it's much easier to make money here than in China, with a larger profit margin."
"Then you won't be left here alone for nothing."
"Hehe, I have children at home. Otherwise, I was planning to hand over the factory to him. It's fine as it is now. I'm not too old to do anything. I'm keeping going here, and I feel healthier than before."
"That's fine too. This is what your family brought for you. There's no food, just clothes and a letter."
I won't bother you anymore, I'll go check on Bill.
"Hmm, let's have dinner here tonight. Or we can have them all gather here?"
"No, I'll just go around to each one."
"Then I'll go and call someone to prepare. You all come and eat."
"Okay, no problem. I'll let them know."
Zhao Tiancheng met Bill again; the place was also undergoing expansion. Seeing his old friends all looking so energetic, he thought that perhaps they had found that sense of accomplishment here.
The third place they visited was Zhou Changrong's textile factory. Hao Zheng had only mentioned his situation briefly, and as a friend, it wasn't something Hao Zheng could concern himself with the details.
Although Zhou Changrong's character was questionable, his business was very successful.
There are six workshops, and they look very lively.
Zhou Changrong was very excited because he did not expect Zhao Tiancheng to come.
Wang Ying remained in the car. The two people from before were foreigners who spoke a foreign language that she couldn't understand. These two spoke entirely in Mandarin, and with her there, they couldn't even have private conversations. So she decided to stay obediently in the car.
"Tiancheng, what brings you here?"
"I'm taking my wife and kids home to visit. I came here to pay respects at my father-in-law's grave, but I also need to go back and see my parents."
"Yes, I haven't been back to my hometown yet."
"Hehe, those are just formalities," Zhao Tiancheng said with a smile.
Just then, Yang Xue came in carrying the child.
"Tiancheng, this is my wife Yang Xue. I have another daughter now."
"Congratulations, your wish has come true."
“Yes, I have a daughter now.” Zhou Changrong took the child from Yang Xue’s arms.
How old is this child?
"It's been three months, Tiancheng, look at him, isn't he adorable?"
"Yeah, you're just trying to seduce me. You know I don't have a daughter, but you're still showing off in front of me."
"Hehe, you're not as lucky as me, you have a daughter."
The two chatted and laughed, and Zhao Tiancheng played with the three-month-old baby. He felt a warm glow in his heart.
The little girl smiled at Zhao Tiancheng with her eyes wide open. She wasn't particularly beautiful, but she was very cute.
Yang Xue sat to the side, unable to get a word in edgewise, and made herself a cup of malted milk powder.
It was already dark when Zhao Tiancheng handed two letters from his bag to Zhou Changrong. "These are your letters. Harry wants us to come over for dinner. Shall we go together?"
"Okay, I'll ride in your car."
"You don't have a car?"
"I didn't buy it because I don't have enough funds. I'm planning to expand my textile factory as well."
"Evergreen. I'm going too."
“No need, you stay home and take care of the child.” Zhou Changrong’s attitude towards Yang Xue was not good.
"My mom can take care of the child."
"We're all men, what are you doing?"
Zhao Tiancheng felt a little awkward and didn't say anything before turning and leaving. He remembered what Haozheng had told him and was truly speechless at his old friend's gaze.
In the end, only Zhou Changrong got on the bus. He knew Wang Ying; she was the young woman who helped Haozheng build the textile factory, so he nodded.
Wang Ying had no feelings for Zhou Changrong, so she simply nodded, and neither of them spoke.
"Wang Ying, let's go back to the engine factory and have lunch there today."
"Um, Uncle, shall we stay here tonight, or set off tonight?"
I'm worried about you driving alone, let's leave tomorrow.
"I have no problem, don't consider my factors."
"Hehe, no matter how anxious I am, I can't let you get tired, otherwise your Aunt Wang and Zeng Zhongkang will complain about me."
Harry also summoned the Roy family's representatives this time, but Wang Ying did not stay.
"Uncle, I'm going to meet with the person in charge here. I'll be there tonight. What time do we leave tomorrow morning?"
"Is four o'clock okay?"
"No problem, I'll wait for you at the factory gate at four o'clock."
After the two had discussed it, Wang Ying drove to the car factory.
But Sang Hongxiu wasn't here. She was at the steel factory.
Upon receiving the call and learning that Wang Ying was coming, she immediately drove back.
The two weren't particularly familiar with each other, but they were both Gu Chuanming's subordinates and had met at Zhang Hongmei's place, so they weren't exactly strangers.
After Wang Ying left, it became much easier for Zhao Tiancheng and the others to talk.
They were all men of the same age group. Of course, women were also a topic of conversation.
"Zhao, why didn't your wife come with you?"
“Her family is from the capital, and she lives there with her child, looking around.”
"Zhao, you are so lucky."
Zhao Tiancheng just smiled, knowing he was very lucky. He didn't have to worry about his son, had a happy family, and his career was thriving.
The group drank heartily, and the initial awkwardness disappeared.
Actually, both Harry and Jordin had women here, but neither of them made it public like Zhou Changrong.
Men understand this; after all, it's not a short-term stay. The family businesses have been left to the children. Their wives don't want to come and suffer. They'd be all alone. A short time is fine, but for a long time, they can't possibly make themselves suffer.
Zhou Changrong knew very well that they were so close, how could they not hear the whispers?
