"Hehe, I was just a cowherd, I never really took care of him. It was his own hard work and dedication that made him successful."
Actually, I'm not a very good father, but we're lucky that we've made it this far together, relying on each other.
"Xinyi, you don't know, there are many Chinese people here, around the same age as me. They are more ambitious and more accomplished than me, but none of their children can compare to Haozheng. That's my confidence."
"Hehe, the pride of being a father."
The family of three had finished discussing the matter when Zhang Hongmei woke up.
I haven't read a book in over two weeks, so I should catch up. If I don't seize this opportunity, it will be very difficult next time.
I don't want to stay here. People say that you shouldn't go to your own humble abode, and that's really true.
Even if your own home is poor or dilapidated, it is still your own home.
The next morning, after Zhang Hongmei finished practicing Tai Chi, everyone else got up as well.
Zhao Hao was at the dining table. "Zhang Hongmei, I'm very willing to be your housekeeper. Don't worry, I will take good care of all your businesses."
"Hehe. Then I'll leave it to you. Shouldn't you start taking over the past from now on?"
Looking at Zhang Hongmei's smiling face, Zhao Hao felt like he'd fallen into a trap. He shook his head, thinking that wasn't the case.
"OK."
"That's great! Come to my study in a bit, and I'll tell you everything." Finally, the blame has been cleared. Isn't that wonderful?
Zhao Yuetong and Miao Xinyue both felt a little sorry for Zhao Haozheng. This guy already had a lot of things to do at the company, and now he's taken over Zhang Hongmei's work. Let's see if he still has time to play.
After lunch, Zhang Hongmei didn't go to the research group. Instead, she spent the whole morning handing over all the companies she was in charge of to Zhao Haozheng. This guy was quite dedicated, making detailed records for each one.
Finally, he took out 50,000 yuan in cash. "I'm not comfortable depositing it in a bank. I'll keep this as working capital. You can put it wherever you want, I don't care. Just put it in the bank and I'll pay the safekeeping fee."
"And you haven't asked about your salary yet, we should clarify that; we need to come up with an agreement later."
Zhao Hao is now thinking that Zhang Hongmei is really capable. He had some idea about her investments before, but he was shocked when he learned the details.
"Okay, I still think it's safer to keep the money in the bank. Also, they'll be giving you cash later, so you can keep that for yourself. I'll come to you when I run out of working capital."
"Okay, so what are your requirements for compensation?"
Zhao Hao shook his head, indicating that he really hadn't thought about how much he wanted.
"How about this, I'll give you one percent of the income from all my businesses each year?"
"Hehe, that's very kind of you. This is no small amount."
"Not much, not much, don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. In the future, I will definitely include you in any projects that can absorb shares. Moreover, you can also develop your own business, as long as it does not conflict with mine."
"Haha, I knew you wouldn't restrict my development outside."
"Of course, and I will support you, but you must guarantee that there won't be any problems on my end."
"I guarantee that."
After reaching an agreement, the two wrote one and signed it. Just like that, Zhao Haozheng was on Zhang Hongmei's shilling. Later, whenever he didn't even have time to sleep, he regretted it more than once, realizing how naive he had been.
Zhang Hongmei felt more relaxed than ever before. With someone taking care of things for her, she arrived at the research group in a cheerful mood and happily greeted everyone.
It was Friday night again, and Wyatt and Carlos both came.
"Hongmei, go check out the game district tomorrow. It'll be more popular than you can imagine."
"Sure, I'll drive there myself tomorrow."
“How can that be? I’ll come pick you up tomorrow.” Carlos refused to let Zhang Hongmei go out alone.
"No need, I won't show up. It's impossible to have any peace and quiet with you all around. Zeng Zhongkang will be with me, so don't worry."
They both agreed. After dinner, they went to the arcade again.
Early Saturday morning, Zhang Hongmei finished her Tai Chi practice, and Zeng Zhongkang returned from his run. The two quickly washed up, ate breakfast, and drove away.
The store is scheduled to open at 8:00 AM, but it's only 7:10 AM now. There are already dozens of people at the entrance.
"Zeng Zhongkang, let's not get any closer. I feel a little scared!"
"Huh? What's so scary about it?"
"Don't you think it's scary that so many people will rush in when the door opens?"
Let's just sit in the car and watch. And do you think we can squeeze in?
Zeng Zhongkang fell silent, thinking to himself, "Then what are you doing here?" Luckily, he had brought his books with him, so he parked the car in a corner and started reading.
Zhang Hongmei kept staring at the arcade across the street. The entrance was well-designed; it must look quite beautiful at night. The entrance was also large. The person who designed the arcade was quite capable.
At eight o'clock, the door was opened, and surprisingly, there was no rush. There were four young and strong security guards at the entrance. Everyone walked in quite peacefully.
Zhang Hongmei felt she should go in and take a look, but after thinking about it, she decided to go home instead. She already knew that the business was booming, and that was enough.
"Zeng Zhongkang, let's go home."
"Are you really not going in to take a look?"
"No, as long as there's money to be made, that's fine. This isn't my responsibility."
"Hehe, what you're saying is really childish."
"So what if I'm childish? I'll just do whatever makes things easier for me now."
So, the two sat in the car for an hour and then went home, without ever going inside to see the passionate scene.
When they arrived home, Zhao Tiancheng and his family of three were having dinner. "Hongmei, why are you back so soon?" Zhao Hao asked, looking at Zhang Hongmei as she entered, puzzled.
"What's so interesting about it? As long as I know I've succeeded, that's enough. There are too many people inside, all jostling and pushing. I don't like that."
"Heh, you're quite arrogant."
"It's not arrogance, it's confidence. Shall we make a bet that today's turnover can reach 50,000?"
Zhao Hao would never be foolish enough to make a bet with her on something like this.
"No, 100,000 would be better. I'm going to the farm and ranch today to inspect the warehouse. Do you want to come along?"
"Okay, let's go take a look. Have you planned what to plant yet?"
"Well, I asked around and they think this farm is the best fit for cotton, so I plan to plant 80% cotton and the rest wheat and potatoes."
