“From now on, you can help the kids with their homework,” she said to Jiang Shaozhen.
Jiang Shaozhen, unaware of what she was thinking, readily agreed, "That's for sure."
"Then it's settled. I don't have a high level of education, so I can't teach well. It would be bad if I taught them badly." Shen Mingzhi said, sounding a little guilty.
"Don't worry, honey. If they really can't do well in their studies, we won't worry about it. The most important thing is for the children to grow up healthy. And I believe that with our hard work, they will definitely have more options than just studying in the future." Jiang Shao Chen put his arm around her shoulder, full of confidence.
Shen Mingzhi agreed.
They work hard to create a future for their children.
Who knows, their children might become rich kids in the future.
During her time at home, Shen Mingzhi was not as busy as she was at the factory and had a relatively more leisurely life. Although she would occasionally go to Baoli to check on the sample making, at least she had more time to spend with the children.
They're not as clingy as they used to be.
She has already passed the written part of her driving test.
As for practical application, we'll have to wait until she returns from the Canton Fair.
Four days before heading to the Canton Fair, Shen Mingzhi finalized the products she would bring.
The product packaging has been uniformly changed to a style from Europe and America.
"I've arranged a plane for you this time. You can fly there; it's faster that way," Factory Director Sun said to her as she packed the goods she was going to take to the Canton Fair.
"Okay, sure." Shen Mingzhi packed several boxes. "Do you need to ship these goods?"
“There are too many to ship, let’s put them on a truck. It should take four days to get there,” said Factory Manager Sun.
Shen Mingzhi thought that this was the only way.
"Then I'll go set up our booth first." It wasn't easy to get a booth, and it cost quite a bit of money.
Although Director Sun strongly opposed it, he eventually compromised.
After loading the goods onto a truck in Guangzhou, Shen Mingzhi was about to go home when Shen Xiuzhu rushed over.
"Luckily, I made it in time... My dad agreed to let me go to the Canton Fair with you!" Shen Xiuzhu said with a joyful expression.
“Then you’ll have to take the train. The factory has helped me apply for a plane ticket. But if you want to fly, you can join our Poly as a designer,” Shen Mingzhi said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiuzhu's eyes widened. "Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate? I didn't study traditional Chinese painting; I studied oil painting from abroad... I studied it out of personal interest, so of course I didn't offer any assistance in my work..."
“Oil paintings are fine too. You just need to know about European and American styles. I’ll tell you when we get to the Canton Fair,” Shen Mingzhi said, glancing at her wristwatch. “I don’t have time to talk to you much. I have to go home.”
"Going back so early?" Shen Xiuzhu wanted to chat with her a bit more.
“I have a family, and I’ve been spending time with my children these past few days because I was worried they would miss me if I went to the Canton Fair,” Shen Mingzhi explained to him.
Shen Xiuzhu responded with an "oh".
"Will you join?" Shen Mingzhi asked him.
"Join the company! I need to take a plane!" Shen Xiuzhu answered without hesitation.
"Then go find Director Sun to apply for a job and ask him to help you with the application," Shen Mingzhi said before turning and leaving.
The day before she left for Guangzhou, Shen Mingzhi returned home in the evening, and Jiang Shaozhen and Jiang Qing were packing her luggage.
“It’s already quite hot in Guangzhou, so just bring some summer clothes,” Jiang Shaozhen said to Jiang Qing.
"What do you know? What if the weather changes and it gets colder over there? It's only the end of April, how can it get hot so quickly?" Jiang Qing had spent her whole life in Beijing and had no idea what the weather was like in Guangzhou.
Beijing is in the north, where winters are long, and it can still be quite cold in April.
Jiang Shaozhen took the cotton coat off her hands. "I've been to Guangzhou many times, how could I not know? It's only a little cold there from December to February. It starts to get hot in mid-February, and it's almost like summer now. Why bring a cotton coat? It'll just take up space in your suitcase."
"This suitcase is quite big..." Jiang Qing muttered, "I must say, this leather suitcase is really beautiful, it's similar to the one in 'Romance on Lushan Mountain,' it would definitely look very fashionable to carry it."
Shen Mingzhi smiled unconsciously when she heard the conversation between the mother and son.
Leather trunks only started appearing in the 1980s.
But she didn't have the money to buy it back then. Now that she has the money, Jiang Shaozhen bought it for her privately.
Shen Mingzhi went inside and said to Jiang Qing, "The weather in Guangzhou is indeed quite nice now, so you don't need to bring anything too thick, but you definitely need to bring a cardigan. Also, just bring me two pairs of jeans."
“Look at your wife, she always listens to advice,” Jiang Qing said, as she started picking out pretty knitwear.
"It's my first time going out, and it's such an important occasion like the Canton Fair, so I have to dress nicely so people will think I'm a big boss," Jiang Qing kept repeating.
Shen Mingzhi washed her hands and dried them with a towel. "Yes, so I plan to wear a slim-fit shirt and get up early tomorrow to get my hair done."
“Oh dear, you’re going to Guangzhou anyway, why don’t you go and take a look?” In Jiang Qing’s eyes, Guangzhou is now a city that is developing very well.
“Guangzhou is nice, but it’s not as developed as Beijing. If we’re talking about developed cities, then it has to be the capital,” Shen Mingzhi said with a smile.
The most popular clothes, hairstyles, and products almost always originated in Beijing.
“That’s true.” Jiang Qing felt proud upon hearing her words.
The next morning, Shen Mingzhi took her purse and went to the airport with Jiang Shaochen.
Shen Xiuzhu had already arranged to meet her at the airport.
She had cut her hair short and permed it; under her coat, she wore a shirt and a handkerchief.
Jiang Shao Chen saw that she looked especially beautiful with makeup on, and he couldn't bear to part with her.
"You have to come back as soon as it's over, otherwise the child will get anxious," Jiang Shaozhen said, adding that he also gets anxious.
"Okay, I understand." Shen Mingzhi nodded. "Don't worry, there are a few more people going by truck. They should be almost there by now. Don't worry about my safety."
"It's quite chaotic over there, so it's best to be cautious. If you encounter any danger, be sure to call me." Jiang Shao Chen was particularly worried about her.
"Okay, I understand," Shen Mingzhi said helplessly.
After Shen Xiuzhu arrived, she went into the airport with him.
They arrived in Guangzhou at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Shen Mingzhi put her coat in her hand and came out of the airport with Shen Xiuzhu.
"We need to set up the booth first. Is everything alright on your end?" Shen Mingzhi, like a workaholic, headed straight for the bus stop as soon as she left the airport.
Shen Xiuzhu, carrying a leather suitcase, looked incredibly handsome in his suit. "What problem could I possibly have? Even if I did, I wouldn't dare say it."
“If you’re coming with me, you’d better be alert,” Shen Mingzhi told him, adding that their time was already limited.
The two took a bus and finally arrived at the venue, it was almost five o'clock.
