"You know that too!"
"Is there even a question? That's just how it is."
"Why don't you stay for a couple more days? Aren't you going to see all these acquaintances?"
"No, we're not that familiar with each other. The three of us are a bit rushed on this trip. We'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. I'll be staying in the capital from now on anyway."
"Hmm, that's true. I'll find someone to buy houses for the three of you. Do you have any requirements? How about a courtyard house?"
"Alright, I have no objection. I trust your judgment."
Cai Peilin and Zeng Zhongkang nodded in agreement. They would do whatever Zhang Hongmei said.
"In that case, remember to come back this afternoon to buy train tickets."
"Let's go buy the train tickets first. It's okay if we go to see my dad later."
Cai Peilin stood up. "Hongmei, you rest. The three of us are going to buy tickets."
After seeing the three off, Zhang Hongmei went to find Uncle Li and Aunt Li.
"Yes, Uncle Li, could you ask around and see if you can buy a house for Zeng Zhongkang and the other two? The size of one in Shuren Hutong will do. If you have extra, you can buy one for Li Guoliang too. Houses in the capital will be worth a fortune in the future, so don't worry. If you don't have enough money, I have some here."
"Any bigger houses are fine too, as long as they're for sale, we'll go take a look."
“I’ll ask the Feng family girl in Shuren Hutong; she can help with that.”
"Okay, I'm going to rest now. Just take anyone who comes over to me later."
Shan Mianzhi also came over in the afternoon. I wonder why this guy is still in the capital. Doesn't he need to go to the local areas to build up his political achievements? Well, he does come from a wealthy and influential family.
Back in his room, he found some clothes, took a shower, and then sat down in his study to work on his script. He already had five scripts in hand. He would write them whenever he had free time, and if he couldn't, he would give Roger or Peter a break so they could go back home and he could keep an eye on things for them.
The computer should be ready in a few days, and I'll need to design a few games.
I won't get involved in the management, but I can't just wait to get a share of the profits; I should put in some effort.
Zhang Hongmei was immersed in the script, and her hands moved very quickly. By three o'clock, the basic framework was already in place. She stood up and stretched a bit, and then added dialogue and scenes later. She estimated that it would be finished tonight.
Hearing footsteps in the courtyard, Zhang Hongmei put away her script. It should be Shan Mianzhi coming over by now.
Zhang Hongmei went out to greet him, and sure enough, it really was him.
Dan Mianzhi is increasingly developing that refined and scholarly air.
"Welcome to my home, Senior Shan. Please come in."
Dan Mianzhi stared at the beautiful girl opposite him; she was truly captivating. Now a grown woman, she had grown taller, and her once slightly chubby face had become a pointed chin. Her features were still exquisite; in her presence, all other women paled in comparison.
"Hongmei, welcome back home."
"Hehe. Thank you, Senior Shan."
The two entered the study, and Zhang Hongmei poured him a cup of tea. They sat down on chairs under the window.
"Hongmei, when did you get back? I didn't have a chance to chat much with Cheng Guangxu this morning."
"Hehe, we got home late last night, and we haven't had a chance to see our classmates and friends yet."
"I'm really lucky today. It's rare for me to come back, and I actually ran into this."
"Hehe, I was just wondering today, did Senior Shan not find a job after graduation?"
"No, I stayed in the capital and am now at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
"Hehe, that's a really good job."
"It's alright, a bit easier than going to the countryside, but the achievements aren't as quick to accumulate as there."
"Every advantage has its disadvantage. It's already quite difficult to stay in the capital and with family."
“My family thinks the same way, but I don’t care. It’s the same wherever I am.” Shan Mianzhi was very shocked. In the three years that Zhang Hongmei had been away, she had not only grown up, but also become much more worldly and sophisticated.
At this moment, Aunt Li brought out a watermelon. "This is what your Uncle Li left in the cellar. Try it, it hasn't changed at all."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.
"Hongmei, what job are you planning to do after you come back? Your foreign language skills are so good, aren't you going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
"Hehe, Senior Shan, I really haven't thought that much about it. I have at least six months to do nothing. I want to go back to my hometown and take a look."
"Hehe, you should go back and take a look. You don't know, your village was even in the newspaper. You're quite generous, although the newspaper didn't mention that you funded the construction of the small house, but I just know it must have been you."
"Hehe, thank you for valuing me so much, Senior Shan." Zhang Hongmei didn't say anything more, after all, their relationship wasn't that close.
"Have you not considered where you would like to work?"
"Not yet, maybe I'll go into teaching?"
"Hehe, if that's the case, our Principal Zheng Chongyu will be overjoyed."
"Senior Shan, you're exaggerating. I just don't like the backstabbing and scheming around at school. The school is relatively peaceful."
"Hongmei, look who's here!"
Hearing Wang Ying's loud and boisterous voice, Zhang Hongmei shook her head, thinking that she had become more composed!
Just as she stood up, Wang Ying rushed in, followed by two other people.
"Welcome back, Hongmei!" Yu Hongxia reached out and hugged her.
"Thank you, Senior Yu. And I'm back!"
"Hongmei, I'm here too." Hao Dan became anxious as she saw the two clinging to each other.
The two shared a big hug. "Hongmei, you're finally back! I've been thinking about you all day long. What if you hadn't come back? Should I have gone abroad and dragged you back?"
"Hehe, Hao Dan, your worries are unnecessary. Look, I'm back."
"Most of those who went together didn't come back, right?"
"Well, we're not from the same school. Besides, I paid a price for coming back early."
"Hehe, you can definitely do it. I have a lot of confidence in you."
The three girls finally had enough of their excitement and then remembered to greet Shan Mianzhi.
We used to work in the student union, so we're quite familiar with each other.
"Senior Shan, you're still very well-informed."
"Hehe, I only found out this morning when I ran into Cheng Guangxu."
"Hongmei, where did that math genius go? Has anything changed?"
"Hehe, I don't know. We're always together, so why don't we feel anything?"
"Hehe, that talented man is finally satisfied. He can follow behind you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Cheng Guangxu is extremely talented."
"Hahaha, Hongmei, you don't know, those of us who saw Cheng Guangxu's words during the student council president election will probably never forget them for the rest of our lives."
