My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 472 Hard Work or Not

Alternatively, consider someone more cunning, such as a member of a honey trap scam.

At this point, at least she can act a delicate and vulnerable side, seemingly unable to withstand criticism.

Dong Xueqing doesn't.

I really don't know how.

Wei Dong quickly found some clothes to put on and went to the kitchen. He saw his sister-in-law with disheveled hair, busy holding the baby and occasionally scratching her lower back.

He simply lacked cultural background and couldn't utter the elegant phrases like "his hair was loosely tied up, and he was lightly made up."

But having finished high school, I still yearn for the gentleness of a virtuous wife and loving daughter.

It's a pity she's my sister-in-law!

He was quite peculiar; during those days with Zhang Lanzhi, he would chisel away whenever he had a spare moment. He later reflected that he might have chiseled her away, like a teddy bear.

Having been married to Dong Xueying for just over a year, their needs are definitely quite high.

However, he would never be lustful towards others.

Including now.

Xiaodie perched on her aunt's shoulder, and upon seeing her father, she immediately urged him to greet him and told Weidong to hurry over and take her away.

Dong Xueqing turned around, blushing. Her shyness was hidden in the curve of her hair, the movement of her eyes, and the folds of her clothes.

Her youthful and delicate beauty defied description, leaving Wei Dong speechless.

Fengchu quickly lowered her head and shook the milk bottle: "It's only seven o'clock, go back and take a nap... I'll be right there..."

As she spoke, she subtly tugged at her nightgown, as if preparing to peel off the skin herself for breakfast.

"What are you coming for?" Wei Dong shook his head vigorously, pulling himself out!

"No, no, I, I'll go to the factory right away. You rest for a while, I'll take the child over to Lamu."

He tried to run away as soon as he said that.

Unfortunately, the child wouldn't comply, slurping and reaching out for breakfast.

I almost fell.

Dong Xueqing quickly caught the baby and put the bottle back in.

She nestled herself into his broad, sturdy chest: "Now that my sister is gone, we are a family of three. We have always been that way, and that has never changed in my heart."

Smelling the alluring fragrance, Wei Dong wanted to back away, but he also had to hold the child: "Don't talk nonsense. No matter where your sister goes in the future, the company has your assets. You can go wherever you want to get married or study abroad."

Fengchu shook his head vigorously: "I won't leave! I'll never leave, I want to stay with you for the rest of my life!"

Wei Dong's heart still warmed slightly.

Besides his parents who never abandoned him, this is the second person who said they would stay with him.

This life is different now; I'm not a lost soul anymore.

“You’ll always have a place in this family, but you’re my sister-in-law, so we still need to be mindful of our boundaries…”

As he spoke, he moved back to avoid it.

Dong Xueqing took the opportunity to pull open her collar and stomp her foot: "Even after all this, what sense of propriety do you have!"

Looking at the clear handprint, Wei Dong realized how long it must have been gripped so tightly, and was immediately speechless with embarrassment.

Little Butterfly, holding her baby bottle, sat on her father's shoulders, making loud smacking noises, and watched intently.

They even peeked out and commented that the breakfast shop was a bit small.

Only then did the lovesick men and women realize there were audience members present.

Let's leave quickly.

Wei Dong insisted on immediately getting to work.

Clearly, this is the only way to avoid going to bed.

Helpless, the sister-in-law quickly washed up and changed into a work suit, with a winter coat over it: "I won't force you, but Xiaodie and I will live in your home. If you're not home, I'll sleep in the office every day. I'll see when I die from exhaustion."

She seems to have lost some weight.

Wei Dong felt guilty and ashamed: "I brought some college students back this time. If you don't pick some to help, you won't be able to finish the work... Your sister is probably under too much work pressure."

Dong Xueqing interrupted immediately: "No, it's that she wants to give me the best of you, but I can't bear to put you in a difficult position, and I'm even more afraid that you'll get tired..."

She blushed again.

Wei Dong was too lazy to bother with persuasion. He was a complete bachelor who had never been in a relationship, so he had no experience with such complicated issues. He shut up and focused on driving.

Fengchu, who was sitting in the back, also fell silent. She had never been in a relationship before, and her eyes and heart were only for her brother-in-law.

Xiaodie immediately copied her aunt's pouty lips, which made her laugh again, but a hint of worry still lingered between her brows.

Yes, when they saw a breakfast stall on the road, Wei Dong stopped the car and the three of them sat on a dilapidated bench eating spicy noodles, which attracted the attention of passersby.

The husband is as strong as a mountain, the wife is as gentle as water, and the children are like porcelain dolls—all beautiful and elegant.

Seeing her looking so enviable makes me feel a little sour inside.

After enjoying the hot and flavorful noodle soup, the chill was dispelled and his positive energy prevailed, allowing Wei Dong to begin discussing work, even though Dong Xueqing had been making long-distance calls from the office almost every night for the past month. However, the content was simply too much, and Wei Dong was afraid of overwhelming his sister-in-law on the phone, so he asked her to simplify things considerably.

This has indeed surprised Dong Xueqing.

But she wouldn't have the same kind of lamentation as her sister, like "Oh my god, how can this ever end?"

Instead, they immediately thought: "Cosmetic factories... there are cosmetic factories in the industrial list that the city previously submitted. We can take over this ready-made business. This is definitely much faster than starting from scratch. After all, our core business is SOD addition. The key is that they should have the qualifications, which is the most important thing."

That was during the period when the factories had just settled in the Economic Development Zone last year. The city did indeed present Weidong with a bunch of factories that urgently needed to be transformed, to see which ones were worth developing.

Wei Dong didn't have time to look through it carefully. It was only because he had been living in the office these past few days that Feng Chu had been able to systematically review all the information and memorize it.

He was overjoyed: "That's right! You should contact them about this matter later and try to get in touch with Miss Qin about the process flow, product fragrance, and so on."

Fengchu, beaming with joy, opened his mouth, but still didn't inquire about anything else while he was happy.

Wei Dong was instructed to take advantage of the early morning traffic to quickly reach the zoo, which opens at 7:00 AM to allow free entry and exit for citizens who are doing their morning exercise.

I deliberately went around from the back and saw that the two residential buildings were already bustling with the daily life of every household opening their windows to dry their laundry.

The commercial and residential buildings in other animal villages are still under construction at a rapid pace.

There's no need to let Weidong waste his breath.

Speaking of Lao Geng's militarized management team, it is true that things are the same whether he is there or not. The political commissar was promoted to secretary, and the battalion commander and company commander have branch secretaries to assist in management.

Wei Dong then asked his sister-in-law about the management situation over the past month.

Dong Xueqing admitted: "Intellectuals who do research are the most reasonable, and they trust and admire you, so it's the easiest to communicate with them. Xiao Wu in the office can help out, and the key is that the Hong Kong representatives have a lot of help. Although Ms. Qin's team only has a few Hong Kong people, it's good that they brought their model over. Then, the factory is supposedly the most difficult, so I have to say that you have a good political commissar like Xiao Yuemei."

I couldn't help but tease her, but I used to have my older sister's support, and now that I'm saying it out loud, I feel a bit powerless.

Wei Dong, oblivious to such sentiments, retorted, "Don't talk nonsense. She's still putting in the effort, and she handled the Shanghai situation quite well this time..."

Taking advantage of the morning when vehicles carrying feed and garbage were open, Wei Dong simply drove the car in, and was greeted by a series of greetings from the sanitation workers, such as "Hello, General Manager Dong."

This was Dong Xueqing's earliest territory, a place she was familiar with and fond of. A quick glance revealed problems everywhere: "I've never been this early before. The cleaning needs to be sped up; the smell is off..."

For more than a month, she has been traveling between the company headquarters, the factory area, and the zoo. The intensity of her work is so high that she is truly working like a dog.

Wei Dong also lowered his voice and said, "You should hire some more college students as assistants so that your workload won't be so heavy. I experienced this firsthand in Beijing."

Dong Xueqing, however, was considering adjusting the work model: "I don't think it should be that you are in charge of external affairs while I stay at home. I need to cultivate the management teams of each department to report to our general manager's office, and then I should be by your side at all times, so that I can work anytime you go."

Wei Dong almost blurted out "yes," but then he felt that this was no different from a husband and wife being inseparable.

He even felt a pang of sadness, wondering if Dong Xueying would have stayed if he had done this sooner.

Quickly suppress your emotions and get back to work.

Mao'er has indeed been dedicated to his work, communicating with the clouded leopard, monkey mountain, dog kennel, and bird forest. He even ran with the ostrich early in the morning!

They say this is even considered a bird, let's see if it can teach us anything.

He seemed quite at ease.

Wei Dong could only whisper instructions, but his presence at the zoo meant he had complete control over the situation.

There's no need for family members to speak up; simply relaying the information back to management for adjustments is sufficient.

Then, deliberately, before some employees start their shifts, he'll casually pop in so they can see him, signaling that the boss is back and everyone should get ready to get back into work mode.

In fact, they had already driven back to the Economic Development Zone.

It was only a little past eight o'clock when we arrived here, and it immediately became lively and bustling.

Minibuses shuttle back and forth, transporting workers to and from work.

Freight companies, construction companies, auto repair shops—everyone was bustling with people coming and going, with shifts changing at 8 a.m.

They waved and greeted Rang Weidong's black minivan everywhere.

Just like Zhou Bapi, Shen Cuiyue started urging the food street to cheer up early on.

Seeing the family of three approaching, they immediately recognized that Wei Dong hadn't been overworked and, with satisfaction, pointed out some flaws in Feng Chu's management to tease him.

Dong Xueqing had gotten used to bickering with her: "If you're good at it, you can do it. From now on, I'll go out with my brother, and you can stay home!"

He added, "Did you manage to resolve any major issues during your expedition? Tell me about it so I can learn from you."

Shen Cuiyue snorted: "Is catching a murderer impressive? After seeing the faces and expressions of some young masters, I can help much more than some bookworms."

Dong Xueqing couldn't help but start jumping up and down: "You're the bookworm..."

Wei Dong listened with great interest, imagining that if these two really didn't leave each other in twenty or thirty years, and could still listen to each other bickering every day, it would be a kind of fate.

After all that rambling, a number of college students appeared in the cafeteria, and upon seeing the leader, they quickly came over to report.

But I've started to be afraid of Assistant Shen, mainly because this guy's often fake smile and insincere expression clearly indicate that he's scheming.

They informed their colleagues, and also the leaders and experts from the electronics factory who had breakfast.

Wei Dong then led them on a tour of the adjacent office area, jeans factory, sanitary napkin factory, and computer workshop to formally discuss the possibility of opening up the facilities to the factories for joint production, with Dong Sheng Trading taking full responsibility for sales.

This would allow state-owned factories to return to their accustomed system of centralized purchasing and sales, freeing them from the hassle of sales and making things much more comfortable.

The factories that were initially dismissive of the scale of this electronics workshop suddenly became interested.
