Zhang Hongmei decided to ignore him at this point. She closed her eyes, shifted around, found a comfortable position, and soon fell asleep.
Zhang Shouyi looked at his wife in his arms with a face full of affection. He felt that he could never love her enough. He really wanted to keep her by his side at all times.
He tightened his arms around her, leaned his head back, and closed his eyes.
Lu Jing doesn't understand Zhang Shouyi now, but Xiao Li has followed Zhang Shouyi for so many years, how could he not see the leader's affection for his wife?
When Zhang Hongmei woke up, it was already getting light outside. She checked the time and it was almost seven o'clock.
"Wife, we'll be there soon."
"Hmm, is your arm numb?" Zhang Hongmei said, then helped him massage it.
"Hehe, with a wife to take care of me, I'd be willing to go even if I'm numb."
At 7:10, we arrived at the McCann family's car manufacturing plant.
The car didn't go in; Roger had been waiting for a while. He received a call from the young lady last night, calculated the time, and figured they would arrive around eight o'clock. Worried about being late, he got up early this morning.
Unexpectedly, the young lady arrived as soon as I came out.
"Brother Zhang, don't get out of the car. I'll get out myself, hand the things over to him, say a few words, and then leave."
"I'll go down with you, let's both get some exercise."
Zhang Shouyi got off the car first, followed by Zhang Hongmei.
"Miss, why don't you go inside and have breakfast? I've already made all the arrangements."
Zhang Hongmei glanced at Zhang Shouyi, who nodded. "Okay, let's drive the car in."
Breakfast was indeed prepared. Su Chen and Lu Jing took a look at it, and only then did the important figures sit down.
Roger had been secretly observing Zhang Shouyi all along. This is leadership! It's unbelievable how young he is. He's far superior to Carlos; the young lady has excellent judgment.
Neither of the elderly people had much of an appetite; they each ate a bowl of porridge and an egg, but didn't eat any fried dough sticks.
While they were eating, Zhang Hongmei and Zhang Shouyi followed Roger into his office.
"Roger, this is for Carlos. Make sure to deliver it to him in person. Here are some games and a letter from me to Carlos."
Some of the gifts were for Anne and Daniel, and some were letters for their adoptive parents.
"Yes, Miss, I guarantee I will personally deliver it to the head of the family."
"Also, prepare a car and a truck for me. The factory needs them. You can prepare them first, and someone will come to pick them up."
"Yes, anytime is fine. Is a mid-range sedan acceptable?"
"Sure! You can arrange it as you see fit. We have other things to do, so we'll be leaving now. If there are any problems, come to my house and find a girl named Lu Xing; she'll take care of it."
"Understood. I've decided to take the train to G City on the 20th."
"I think you should just hire a driver to take you there. It's more convenient and safer that way."
"Okay, then I'll make the arrangements in advance."
Zhang Shouyi remained silent. It was only because his wife was able to send messages abroad through foreigners that he needed to find a way to prevent this from happening again. This was really unsafe, and the National Security Bureau needed to take this seriously.
There were many spies in my past life; we can't let them take advantage of any loopholes.
After Zhang Hongmei explained everything, the two of them drank porridge and ate eggs. In fact, Aunt Li made quite a few pancakes, but they just didn't have an appetite.
Zhang Hongmei introduced Wang Ying and Luo Jie, and the two agreed to come and pick up the car in ten days.
Continuing on their way, Zhang Hongmei perked up this time. "Brother Zhang, can you help me think of something we can do in Liujiatun? Farming isn't impossible, but development is too slow. I think we should focus on industry."
"Even my wife can't figure it out, and I don't know either. That place is too isolated."
"Yes, it's not that I can't set up a factory, but I don't want to damage the local environment."
Something suddenly occurred to Zhang Hongmei, but it was fleeting and she couldn't grasp it.
"Light industry is the best, because it won't cause pollution."
"Honey, I really can't help you with this. You'll have to figure it out yourself."
However, I think you should focus your efforts on manufacturing, specifically on those scarce components or something.
"Hehe, I do have that in mind, but it won't work here. I'm planning to go to H City, where there are convenient transportation routes. I want to make an export."
"Hehe, great! I'll support whatever you do, even if you want to take over the top leadership position tomorrow, I'm willing."
"I'm not stupid, why would I be so foolish?"
The two people in front of them were startled by their conversation. Good heavens, this boss has no limits when it comes to spoiling his wife.
"If all else fails, how about we try something with planting? How about growing ginseng?"
Zhang Shouyi was speechless looking at his wife's wildly imaginative ideas.
"Honey, from a planting perspective, it's feasible, but planting ginseng? That doesn't seem like a good idea, does it?"
"I'll go back and ask my third uncle. I'm not very good at farming either. Brother Zhang, does the Ministry of Agriculture have any good projects?"
"Even if there are good projects, it won't work because the temperature here is limiting."
"Yeah, nothing works!"
"Don't bother, go back and talk to the elders first."
It wasn't until after 1 p.m. that they finally came across a small county town. The group drove straight in and found a restaurant.
Their arrival drew everyone's attention. It's rare to see cars in such a small county, especially five of them.
The bodyguard and Su Chen got out of the car, looked around the restaurant, and finally ordered hot soup and flatbread that they had brought with them.
Zhang Hongmei had a great appetite and ate a piece of bread but still felt it wasn't enough, so Zhang Shouyi stopped her.
"Honey, you ate too much and you're not feeling well on the way."
There was no other way but to put it down, though I felt I could still eat another dime.
It wasn't until 8 PM that they finally crossed into the northeastern border. This time, Wang Ying was leading the way.
Half an hour later, we finally arrived at the textile factory. I had called ahead, so the manager was waiting for us. They had also arranged a cook and accommodations.
Finally, she could rest. Zhang Hongmei had slept all afternoon and was now surprisingly energetic. She was enjoying a hot meal, and the heated kang beds in her quarters were also warm.
After dinner, the two elderly people soaked their feet and went to sleep. Liu Jingsong stayed with them. The children didn't make a fuss along the way.
Zhang Shouyi lay on the kang with Zhang Hongmei in his arms. Although they couldn't do anything, it didn't stop Zhang Shouyi from taking advantage of her.
He was still wondering why his wife hadn't resisted him today. He looked down and saw—she was asleep again.
Something's not right. My wife doesn't usually sleep this much. This is so unusual! Looking at her sweet sleeping face, I couldn't bear to disturb her.
Let's talk about it tomorrow! Tell her to drink more water so I don't worry.
