Liu Hong sighed.
He Wei was angry, couldn’t she see that?
But being angry didn’t mean she had to compromise, they were different.
She hadn’t been to the garment processing factory, where the factory director and the workshop director managed everything. In fact, her factory had already adopted a scientific management model, this set of management experience and methods came from He Wei, who learned it in the southern cities. She could say she was basking in He Wei’s light.
Now, she was no longer just a seamstress, but the owner of a clothing factory with fifty employees. The clothes she produced led the fashion trends of the provincial capital; it was truly a case of "out with the old, in with the new."
All of this was thanks to He Wei as well. He instilled in her advanced experience and concepts and took her to the south to visit those factories and exchange experiences with the bosses there. He was her guide.
Even the factory director and the pattern master in her factory were found by He Wei. To be honest, He Wei had invested more in her factory than she had.
She had let He Wei down.
This conviction strengthened her resolve not to harm He Wei.
When she got home, Liu Baoguo and Li Chunmei had already tidied up the house. Coming to their daughter’s place, everything seemed new and curious to them.
The two of them didn’t idle away, cleaning their daughter’s home from top to bottom, even the windows were sparkling clean, giving the whole house a renewed look.
Now they knew their daughter was capable, just the number of people she employed in the factory was over fifty. In their village, that was something to be in awe of; she could be considered a model worker.
Seeing where their daughter lived, it was evident she was very busy. Knowing she wasn’t the type to care for herself, the sight of dirty clothes strewn about and used dishes on the table in her home revealed just how busy Liu Hong must be.
They felt a deep pang of heartache.
"You’re back? You deadbeat girl, leaving me and your dad here while you ran off, you’re really something. Coming back just in time to take me shopping. Look at the life you’re living, there’s nothing in the kitchen but dried noodles. What do you even eat? Aren’t you afraid of getting a stomach problem?" Li Chunmei scolded her daughter.
Liu Hong perked up, "Let’s go, Mom. I normally eat in the canteen. The factory has one, they provide meals, so I rarely cook at home. I don’t have time to cook." What Liu Hong said was true.
Taking her purse, she and Li Chunmei went out with their shopping baskets in hand. Nowadays, there were no plastic bags, so when going out to buy things, they had to bring their own baskets; otherwise, they’d have to carry their purchases home in their arms.
It was an era that could be considered environmentally friendly.
"Hong, let me tell you, this time your dad and I came over, but after the New Year, you’ll go back with us. You’re getting on in years, and if you don’t get married soon, you’ll become an old maid, and then the villagers will laugh at you," Li Chunmei scolded her daughter.
Now, the daughter’s business was expanding, and Li Chunmei wasn’t unhappy about it. But in the eyes of her parents, Liu Hong should still have a home, a man to take care of her. After all, for a woman, a home is most important. She couldn’t spend her whole life struggling on her own without someone to care for her, feel for her. Her old parents wouldn’t stand for it.
They thought they were going to face opposition from Liu Hong, who always showed a hundred kinds of unwillingness whenever this topic was brought up. Yet this time, after a moment of silence, Liu Hong surprisingly nodded in agreement.
"Okay! After the New Year, I’ll go back with you for a blind date."
The decisive response made Li Chunmei wonder, what had gotten into the girl?
