In the evening, the sun converged its dazzling light and lost its majesty at noon; it turned into a golden disc. The cloudless sky was blue and high, like a clear sky lake, and gradually became thicker and thicker.

Like a lake that keeps getting deeper.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, the sky above Jiangcheng City seems to be painted with a layer of golden color, making it look particularly magnificent.

Zhang Wanru admired everything here. The sun was still the same sun, and she was still the same self, but at this moment she was firmly standing on the land of the motherland.

The group of them arrived at the rose private room of the hotel at the vegetable processing factory. Wang Zhiyong told Manager Wang Tao to prepare a table of specialty dishes and serve them as soon as possible.

Ji Yuqing looked at Zhang Wanru and said with a smile: "Hey! Why do I feel like you are tanned? Aren't you there to spend time with your family?"

Wang Zhiyong refilled tea for everyone and said with a smile: "Our eldest lady is not a quiet person. She must be inspecting the farms there. Otherwise, how could she buy so much food?"

Zhang Wanru looked at the two of them, smiled at Su Mei, and then told her about the entire process of harvesting wheat using a harvester on the farm, as well as using a multifunctional rotary cultivator, a large four-wheel cultivator, and a seeder.

Finally, he said with a proud smile: "I have invited Yang Kuan, the farmer's son, to come over. When the farm machinery I bought arrives, Yang Kuan will teach some people how to use it. Haha, if you see it with your own eyes, you can experience it."

, it’s very meaningful for me to be busy during this time.”

Wang Zhiyong said with a smile: "I have seen large harvesters that can harvest, thresh, and bag in one go. They can also crush straw and spread it into the ground to make fertilizer."

When the second brother and Vice Mayor Tang arrived, the dishes were gradually served on the table.

After everyone sat down and chatted, Ji Yuqing said with a smile: "Today, we are here to honor our great hero. Haha, Wanru can bring us surprises wherever she goes. Second brother, we will all be feasting on this year's wheat harvest."

Already."

The second brother glanced at his sister and said with a smile: "We are also looking forward to it. Wanru, how do you use the agricultural machinery you bought after it was shipped? We in the municipal party committee want to hear your thoughts first."

Wanru smiled calmly and said: "Logically speaking, we are businessmen, and it would be abnormal if we don't talk about money. After buying the machine, we must first let it play its due value. These agricultural machines are donated by our three classmates.

A gift to the farmers in Jiangcheng City. After it is shipped, you have the final say from use to management. The master who comes here is called Yang Kuan. He will call his second brother when he comes, and you will arrange his food and accommodation.

I have already given him 10,000 US dollars for travel expenses, and I have also negotiated with him to give him a commission of 2,000 US dollars every month. Once he teaches us how to use it, the task will be completed."

After hearing this, Vice Mayor Tang was shocked by her generosity. She was really willing to spend money to help her second brother.

He hurriedly smiled and said: "Thank you bosses for donating. We have also discussed it. Our province has a policy that companies that attract investment will be tax-free for three years and the land will also be given discounts. The land for your current Xiangdu Garden has been calculated.

You can go to the city to pay at any time."

Everyone had a great time eating and drinking while drinking and drinking, especially the second brother and Deputy Mayor Tang, who were in a particularly good mood today.

The next day, Zhang Wanru and Ji Yuqing went to the city to pay off the land they purchased, and also handed the invoice for the farm machinery to Deputy Mayor Tang.

On the way back to the construction site, Ji Yuqing said happily: "Haha, just like your uncle said, every time you make a move, it's a hindsight. If you had said earlier that you would donate agricultural machinery to the city, I would have asked for more land.

.I always feel like I’m at a disadvantage.”

Zhang Wanru glanced at her with contempt, raised the left corner of her mouth slightly, and smiled playfully.

He said: "Brother, just be content. This will save us a lot of money, and the vegetable processing factory will be tax-free for three years. After calculation, we will benefit from it, okay? This is called giving up. Only by giving up can we gain.

.The most important thing is that everyone can be happy, right?"

Ji Yuqing felt that this was also the case. No matter how he calculated it, it was this little fox who benefited the most from these two words. She had six shares in the processing plant, and she earned back the ones she gave away very quickly, and she also received donations.

reputation.

When they arrived at the construction site, Ji Yuqing said to Zhang Wanru: "I met Tian Kun during the Spring Festival. After telling him about the development of your company, he also wanted to come and join us. He quit his previous job and worked with his father for three years.

The construction company feels that it would be unpopular to build high-rise buildings without us. What do you think?"

"Haha, sure. The stronger our team is, the more energetic it will be. If he can come over, he will be a good helper for you."

"How will the shares be distributed after he joins the partnership?"

Zhang Wanru thought to herself that she had to go to Country A. It was still unknown how long she would go and whether she would be able to come back. She said: "We don't need to pay for the construction of the office building. We will give him 20% or 30%. We need to pay for it ourselves."

For the projects being built, shares will be allocated according to the amount of funds invested. Specific problems can be solved in detail."

"Okay, that's what I think too. You can supervise the construction site here. I have to go back to the construction site in the provincial capital."

Zhang Wanru thought to herself that her trip this time was considered a secret among secrets and she had to hide it from everyone. She smiled and said sheepishly: "I still have to go back to the United States. Some things there have not been settled yet. I am in a hurry to come back."

To deliver farm machinery.”

Ji Yuqing frowned, and then said: "That's it. I will call Tian Kun over as soon as possible."

Zhang Wanru went to the small commodity wholesale market in Jiangcheng City and bought a larger bird cage. She went to a chicken farm and asked for two chickens and some feed to put in it.

Returning to her second brother's villa, she went to the kitchen to find cans and bottles, filled them with water from the faucet, fixed them in the bird cage, and then put them into the space. She wanted to test whether the air in the space could keep living things alive? Can it?

How many days to survive?

I am still complaining in my heart that such a magical space is a "three-no" product. It would be nice if there were instructions for use.

Zhang Wanru drove towards Fengcheng City. She wanted to go to the resort to meet Shangguan Mingzhu in person. Although she was embarrassed, she couldn't hide, let alone being a landlord.

She first came to the courtyard where the river sand was stored. She saw that the warehouse of more than 600 square meters was empty and had not been used for so many years. It finally came in use today.

She took the bird cage out of the space and put it aside, and then, like magic, an extra warehouse of food appeared in the warehouse in an orderly manner.

She walked to the office, where the dust was too thick. She took out pen and paper from the desk drawer, went to the car, and calculated the prices of various grains. Then she made three copies and pressed them with a stone.

After stacking the above items, he put the bird cage back into space, locked the door of the warehouse, and drove to the resort.

The car gradually slowed down as we drove to the resort. In the flowerbeds on both sides of the steps leading to the square, roses of various colors were blooming. The refreshing fragrance of flowers wafted in the surrounding air, and you could also hear the fragrance coming from the woods on the hillside.

Come to the clear and melodious chirping of birds.

The pomegranate trees on the left and right sides of the square are full of bright red flowers, like burning flames. Set against the slender and shiny green leaves, they are more beautiful and enchanting, giving people a sense of warmth. The trees on the mountain have long leaves.

It's done, the whole mountain is covered in green, making it look full of vitality.

The sun hangs high over the resort, not too hot. From time to time, clouds cover it, like a shy beauty, shyly peeping at the people in the resort.

The spring breeze is blowing gently, and the microwave is swaying on the lake, which makes people feel refreshed. There are many people fishing by the lake. Today is the weekend, and some families come to the resort for fishing and leisure.

Under a pomegranate tree in the square, there was a woman sitting in a wheelchair, who seemed to be in good spirits. She was looking up at the flowers on the pomegranate tree.

Zhang Wanru has already recognized her as Shangguan Mingzhu. I wonder what she thought after seeing the flowers, and whether her eyes were full of spring.

There are three women around her, who must be escorts, and two strong men not far away, who are bodyguards.

Wanru took out her mobile phone and took a picture of this scene. She thought it could be used as a souvenir in the future.

Zhang Xuemei came from the direction of the nursing home and was delighted when she saw Zhang Wanru's car. She hurriedly walked forward and shouted: "Auntie, are you back?"

Zhang Wanru smiled at her and nodded, motioned to the woman sitting in the wheel, and asked, "When they came, who came to send them off?"

"Her husband stayed here for two days. He also said that this is a good place to recuperate."

Zhang Wanru drove the car to the square, got out of the car, and walked to the wheelchair with Xuemei.

Xuemei smiled and introduced to Shangguan: "Auntie, this is our boss, Zhang Wanru."

After hearing this, Shangguan looked Zhang Wanru up and down.

Wanru quickly reached out to her and said with a smile: "Hello, eldest sister. Welcome to the resort."

"Oh, Boss Zhang, I didn't expect you to be so young and beautiful. The old people at home said this place is a paradise when they go back. I want to come and see it with my own eyes. After I came here, I also agreed very much. Your service is very considerate."

She shook hands with Wanru politely and said with a smile. Her voice was gentle and her smile was sweet.

Zhang Wanru felt that she seemed to be in good spirits now, but she was much thinner than the last time she saw her in the hospital.

Wanru in front of her is 1.75 meters tall with a slender body. She is wearing a pair of blue jeans, a blue suit on her upper body, and a white shirt tucked into the jeans. She looks like an innocent person.

The image of a beautiful girl is full of vitality.

Zhang Wanru saw that the sun was a little hot, so she pushed her wheelchair to the foot of the pavilion and sat on the stone pier. She then said to Xuemei, "Go and make tea."

"Sister, can you have tea?" Wanru asked.

"Yes. My name is Shangguan Mingzhu, so you can call me Sister Shangguan. I'll call you Wanru. I don't know why? You don't give me the impression of a big boss, but like the little girl next door."

Zhang Wanru's previous nervousness and fear gradually dissipated. She was very talkative and easy to get along with.

Zhang Wanru said cautiously: "Haha, I also feel that when I see Sister Shangguan, I feel a sense of intimacy. I am not a big boss, and I have several small industries. I just do it to support my family."

Just as he was talking, Xuemei and the waiter brought tea.

Zhang Wanru personally poured tea for Shangguan and also poured a cup for herself. She listened to Shangguan talk about how she had gone to see the fruit trees blooming in the west of the village since she came here.

Zhang Wanru said with a smile: "Then stay here for a while. In two months, the fruits will be ripe. By then, you and I will go over and pick some ourselves. The apricots here are very delicious, and then

Dashou Tao."

"Hey, Xuemei went there with me, and she also introduced it to me. I will definitely wait until the fruit is ripe and taste it to satisfy my taste."

Near noon, the nurse pushed Shangguan back to the villa in a wheelchair.

Zhang Wanru went to the kitchen and discussed with Cao Liang to cook four plates of side dishes and delivered them to the villa herself. She liked them very much and ate them very deliciously. She also drank a bowl of millet porridge.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the lake, emitting golden light, the air is fresh, and the entire resort is quiet and peaceful. Shangguan Mingzhu is in a wheelchair, and Wanru slowly pushes her for a walk by the lake.

She said kindly: "Wanru, tell me your story?"

Wanru thought to herself that the pain in her body was indescribable, and it might be better to distract her by telling her about herself.

She started from when she got married, and then talked about the difficult life of a family of four. She had no choice but to quit her job and go to work. She started from selling clothes, until now, she owns the industry.

She just listened silently. In her mind, Wanru's narration was like playing a movie, with scenes appearing one after another. She also sympathized with this woman who had been widowed in her twenties. Just as she said, 'In

Fighting against fate, she is a woman who refuses to admit defeat.'

It is indeed admirable that she stubbornly shouldered the burden of life for a family of four. She must have encountered many ups and downs along the way, but she still succeeded and asked pityingly: "Aren't you lonely?"

Zhang Wanru felt a little hesitant when she heard such a sensitive question. She didn't know how to answer it. After pondering for a while, she made up her mind. There was no need to avoid anything other than the goodwill to conceal it.

He smiled calmly and said: "I am very busy every day and I am exhausted. Sometimes, I wonder what I will do tomorrow? How can I do it well? I don't have much time to be alone."

After hearing this, Shangguan felt very sympathetic to her experience and was amazed by her wisdom.

Alas! Everyone is wallowing in this mortal world, and it is not easy to deal with all kinds of people. If you want to do something, it will never be smooth sailing. Aren't you all in trouble, choosing your own life, and then gritting your teeth and persevering?

?

"Wanru, it's really not easy for you. You are so beautiful, why didn't you start a family in the first place?"

When Wanru heard that this sensitive topic had returned, it was really hard for her to answer. It was as if she had to take off her disguise and take a quick look.

He smiled reluctantly and said: "Before I went to the sea, some people introduced me to them, and some of them were very good. When I heard that I not only had to take care of my two children, but also my mother-in-law,

I scared them all away. Now that I have achieved some success in my career, even more ridiculous phenomena have appeared."

The morning dawn at the resort was very beautiful. Before the fog over the resort had cleared, Wanru had already climbed to the top of the mountain in the south. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, layers of mist surrounded the treetops.

Like a graceful fairy peeping at the world from the top of the mountain.

The sound of cocks crowing and dogs barking could be heard in the village, and soon smoke curled up from the chimneys of each house. This was Zhang Wanru's favorite breath of life.

Zhang Wanru took out the bird cage from the space and saw that the two chickens were living very well. This meant that there was no problem with the air inside. She put the bird cage back into the space again and had to continue testing for a while.

Today we have to get some things about Shangguan Liang out of Shangguan's mouth. If we don't understand at all, they won't trust us during the rescue.

You also have to buy the necessary common medicines, gauze for dressing, Yunnan Baiyao, etc. The second step is to buy clothes and food. Remember Lao Shi said, try not to eat other people's food casually, otherwise you will fall into trouble if you are not careful.

When Zhang Wanru returned to the square, Shangguan and others had already arrived at the door of the dining room. She was sweating profusely and walked up to Shangguan to say hello. She hurried back to the room to wash herself off, put on casual sportswear and went to the dining room.

She sat next to Shangguan and saw a bowl of millet porridge and a few pickles on the dining table in front of her.

Cao Liang also brought her a bowl of millet porridge, as well as fried dough sticks and steamed buns.

Zhang Wanru looked at Shangguan Mingzhu, sipping rice porridge by the spoonful like a lady, and only ate two small steamed buns. She smiled and said, "Sister, you should also find a way to exercise, so that you can have an appetite."

Shangguan Mingzhu watched her eat a small steamed bun in two bites, and soon she ate five or six. She smiled and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke. Haha, you have a really good appetite."

Zhang Wanru grinned and said: Isn't it? Compared with you, I am like a greedy little pig. When I was young, my mother took me and my two brothers to school every day, and I always ate the slowest.

Mom said, if you eat quickly like your brothers, let them carry the schoolbag for you. Haha, in order not to carry the schoolbag, I developed a good habit of gobbling it down.

But later when I grew up, my mother felt that I didn’t have the reserve of a girl, so she started to make me learn to chew slowly. Haha, once a habit is formed, it is not so easy to change. So she had to support me as a tomboy.

.

Shangguan Mingzhu felt envious when she heard it, especially to have two older brothers.

He smiled and said: "You must have been cared for when you were young. Haha, I am the eldest in the family, and I have a younger brother and a younger sister. I have been the one to take care of them since childhood."

Zhang Wanru immediately continued: "This is what happens when you are the boss. My eldest brother has always taken care of me and my second brother."

Shangguan smiled and said: "Yes. Especially my younger brother. He has been very naughty since he was a child. He climbed up the walls and climbed the house when there was no safety. My mother and I nicknamed him the Monkey King. At first, he was very naughty.

I thought the name was very cool, and when I grew up, I realized that we said he was a monkey, so we stopped calling him."

Zhang Wanru was overjoyed. With the title of Monkey King, Shangguan Liang could almost believe me. She continued: "Actually, boys are naughty when they are young, and they will definitely be promising when they grow up. Not all naughty boys are said to be naughty.

Are children the smartest?”

Shangguan immediately pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Isn't it? When my brother grew up, he joined the army and developed a lot of skills. He was not only brave but also very sensible. Look at this watch of mine. It was that time when he was awarded the second class

I used my bonus to buy three pieces, one piece for each of us siblings."

As he spoke, he took off the watch, turned it to the back, pointed at the numbers on it, and said, "Look, our respective birthdays are engraved on it. I was born on October 5th, and my brother, who is three years younger than me, was born on May 10th.

"

Zhang Wanru was overjoyed again, this was another good piece of information. She also thought that it would be more convincing if she could get this watch. However, she just asked someone for such a commemorative item when they met, and she really couldn’t open her mouth.

.

After dinner, Zhang Wanru drove to the supermarket in the city and purchased a batch one by one according to the list of items. She asked Li Hu to send someone to the hotel office. Then he put them into the space one by one, and also took four items from the hotel.

Bed bedding.

After leaving the hotel, I went to the largest pharmacy and bought a set of medical equipment for bandaging, as well as the necessary medicines, penicillin injections and liquid for infusion. For safety reasons, I also bought ten oxygen bags to prevent space.

There is lack of oxygen.

That afternoon, Ji Yuqing, Wang Zhiyong, and Tian Kun came to the resort. Zhang Wanru went to go with them first and went through the transfer procedures for the apartment she bought. In case her life was not guaranteed this time, her wish was fulfilled.

Back at the resort, Zhang Wanru wanted to have a drink with them before leaving. If something unexpected happened to her this time, it would be considered as saying goodbye to everyone, and it would be the best memory.

Zhang Wanru also called her eldest brother over to get to know each other with Ji Yuqing. We had a great time at the barbecue, drank a lot of beer, and talked happily with each other.

Even Shangguan and the few people who came with him were filled with envy as they watched everyone chatting and laughing. They also had barbecue at their table, and Shangguan also had a few skewers of mutton skewers and tripe-shabu-shabu.

The next day, after breakfast, Zhang Wanru took the three of them to the warehouse where the grain was stored.

When Wang Zhiyong saw the full warehouse, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.

Ji Yuqing took Zhang Wanru and handed him a price list of three types of grains. After reading it, he smiled and said: "Haha, this is a golden mountain. No wonder you are so generous, donating so many farm machines and giving away so much grain

If you sell it, it will be a huge fortune."

They discussed how to sell the goods, and then Zhang Wanru handed the key to the warehouse to Wang Zhiyong and said with a smile: "I used to use the truck that delivers sand, like ants moving, to carry it back to the hotel built with hollow bricks. From now on,

Just ask the truck that came to Fengcheng to deliver vegetables to bring the food back when it returns to Jiangcheng."

Ji Yuqing smiled and said: "Well, this method is good. Anyway, the warehouse of the processing factory is very big."

After Zhang Wanru saw Ji Yuqing off and left.

A customized one: the iron house that is three meters long, two meters high and one and eight meters wide has been completed and sent to her villa. She made some arrangements inside so that she can rest inside and put daily necessities inside.

Part of them also purchased ten barrels of mineral water and thirty boxes of bottled mineral water, all of which were stored in the space.

On this day, she planned a route to country a, and her first stop was to Hong Kong City.

In the evening, Zhang Wanru and Shangguan were drinking tea and chatting on the deck chairs in the square. Zhang Wanru gradually brought the topic to Shangguan Liang.

Shangguan Mingzhu said sadly: "Oh! My brother has left us. I am really useless. If only I had joined the army back then. Wanru, in this life, everything will go as planned without facts. To tell you the truth,

There is no cure for the disease I have, and my parents have already experienced a white-haired person giving birth to a black-haired person. I am really worried about whether they will be able to survive if I leave one day."

Zhang Wanru didn't answer. She thought Zhang Wanru didn't understand, so she added: "My brother has passed away."

Then tears streaked down her thin cheeks, and she began to cry sadly.

Zhang Wanru held her hand and comforted her: "Sister, many things may turn around. It is said that good people are rewarded. Maybe you will see a surprise soon."

Shangguan wiped some tears, smiled bitterly, and said, "Surprise? It's best not to be frightened."

Zhang Wanru opened her mouth, really wanting to say what was in her heart, but she must not make random wishes before seeing Shangguan Liang.

Finally, I was still embarrassed and said: "Sister, I want to borrow something from you and I will return it to you after a while, is that okay?"

"What do I have? Something that can make your heart flutter."

Zhang Wanru whispered: "Let's play a game with your watch. In the near future, you will see this watch come back to you. But, no matter what you know? You can't tell anyone. Just

If you know it, I know it, and heaven knows it and earth knows it.”

Shangguan laughed heartily and said, "Isn't it just a watch? And it's made so mysterious."

After saying that, he took the watch off his wrist and handed it to Zhang Wanru.

He smiled and said: "I will play this game with you. I promise not to tell anyone about this."

A week later, Zhang Wanru arrived in this country that had been baptized by the smoke of gunfire many times. She arrived at the city from the airport and checked into a luxury hotel.

The hotel rooms were almost full. After asking the waiter, I learned that there would be a grand stone gambling event on the 25th of this month. Many jade merchants came in advance to select jade raw materials.

Zhang Wanru was in the hotel. After dinner, she gave a tip of twenty dollars to an off-duty waiter, bought him a cup of coffee, and asked him about the city.

After some exchanges, I found out that the Paradise Hotel that Lao Shi mentioned was in the west of the city. There was a large material exchange market in that area, and it was also the place where jade raw materials were most concentrated.

Even some country people will go to the rivers in the western mountains to look for jade raw materials. There are many people in that river who pick up a lot of valuable jade raw materials. And along the mountain road not far from the river, there are also several jade stones.

The only road open to traffic in and out of the mine.

Zhang Wanru asked about the date of the day again. There was still a week left before the jade mine came to the city to select women. Not only did she have to use this week to find a way to sneak into the Paradise Hotel, she also had to make some preparations and find a suitable escape route.

.

Zhang Wanru returned to the room and took a comfortable hot bath, then went to bed to rest.

The next morning, Zhang Wanru was having breakfast in the hotel. She felt a little strange when she saw people from all over the world. They were talking in different languages, chattering and even gesticulating. Zhang Wanru could not understand a word.

However, the vast majority of people still communicate in English. From the few words they hear, you can get a general idea.

They took advantage of the merchants selling jade raw materials to attend the stone gambling conference and tried their best to choose the jade raw materials they needed.

Zhang Wanru had no interest in jade at all. After checking out, she took a taxi to the downtown area in the west of the city. While looking for the Paradise Hotel, she also followed the flow of people and walked into some yards selling jade raw materials to have a look.

Sometimes I would listen quietly to the explanations of professionals. An old man pointed to a piece of jade raw material in front of him and introduced in English:

This kind of jade is wrapped with a thick or thin layer, and the technical term is called surrounding rock. In fact, it is more accurately called stone-covered jade. The gambling properties of stone-covered jade are very magical, and it looks very attractive from the outside, but when you put it

When the seeds are cut open, it may be an angel or a devil. This is the charm of gambling on stones.

Once stone-covered jade is cut out, the quality of the jade is often very delicate and very oily. It is the best mutton-fat white jade. Therefore, stone-covered jade is the most popular when gambling on stones. If you win the cut, the price will increase.

Hundreds of times growth is very tempting.

But stone-covered jade is also very risky. It is easy to be tainted with sugar, black, blue and white. After cutting, some will have almost no jade, and some will have very little jade. This depends on your gambling luck?

Zhang Wanru seemed to understand that this was the lottery winning scene in the stone gambling competition.

She left this place like a tourist, carrying a backpack, walking among the crowd, watching. When she saw a clothing store, she would also go into the store and buy a burqa like the one worn by local women. The salesperson was enthusiastic

Learn how to wear such a burqa under the service of

Wearing this kind of burqa immediately gives you a sense of mystery, because not only the whole person is wrapped tightly from shoulders to feet, but also a headscarf is put on, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. Wearing such clothes can be very effective in critical moments.

Cover yourself up.

She was inspired when she saw some women wearing heavy makeup. If she wanted to deceive others and not reveal her identity in front of Shangguan Liang and the others, makeup was indeed the best way.

She saw a store selling cosmetics, consulted the salesperson, bought a set of high-end cosmetics, and gave the salesperson twenty dollars to teach her how to apply the heavy makeup of local women.

Zhang Wanru looked in the mirror very patiently, watching the salesperson make makeup on her face, and secretly remembered every step in her heart. After nearly an hour, Zhang Wanru looked at herself in the mirror after makeup, and couldn't help but sigh.

.

Not only did her eyebrows become thicker, but after applying eye shadow, her eyelids were also painted red and white. In addition, she wore long eyelashes. Not only did her eyes look a bit bigger, but she also felt particularly spiritual under the movement of her dark eyeballs.

.

After applying makeup, the bridge of the nose also looks particularly straight. After applying lipstick and lip liner to the mouth, it looks sexier and larger than before.
Chapter completed!
