My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 624 Raise that lamp to illuminate more paths forward

Secretary Yu still did her job well.

Since she had received instructions from her superiors, she kept a close eye on whether Zhenhua had been contacted, whether a contract had been proposed, and whether there had been a response.

She herself said that she grew up on film sets and was used to seeing assistant directors and director assistants closely monitoring the work of lighting, photography, sound recording, and other aspects. On set, every aspect had to be responded to, every matter had to be settled, and responsibility had to be assigned to a person. If a problem occurred, the person responsible had to be identified.

Otherwise, the director will scold the assistant in front of the whole crew.

Her aunt was in Pyeongkol keeping an eye on various affairs.

Even though Wei Dong had taken his daughter swimming in the sea, Yu Xiaoqiu still managed to get the contact information and quotes faxed to Zhenhua from everyone in the office.

She has a sweet tongue and an even sweeter personality, always addressing people as "uncle" and "aunt," making it impossible for anyone to argue with her.

Even seasoned veterans could only smile helplessly as they processed the paperwork.

So Zhenhua's people took the train overnight from Shanghai to meet the big client.

Wei Dong left that very night.

There's no other reason than that since Lin Wangfu is completely convinced, we should leave quickly, otherwise we'll expose our secret.

The wafer fab equipment will arrive in a couple of days. It's all about professional matters, including port and container affairs, which are things that Wei Dong doesn't understand.

Go now!
Moreover, entrusting the task of building the wafer fab to Po-tsai was both a test and a sign of trust, and also a way to hone the skills of this small repair shop owner.

Wei Dong felt that the person who could invent a sound card must be very capable.

Moreover, compared to the engineers and technicians who arrived later at the Malaysian wafer fab, the university students who were previously concentrated at the construction site are the most worthy of training. Lin Wangfu can choose any of them, and Chi Shiming can provide some assistance.

Wei Dong was instructed to quickly mobilize people from the Xishan Computer Industry Cluster, Jinling Factory, Xizhou Factory, and Vacuum Electronics to participate.

So, we'll leave Chi Shih-ming behind to receive Zhenhua's people, and then we'll go back to Shanghai to hand him over to Lao Zhang and Wu Shengyun, so that Hong Kong boy can go back and get involved with Jenny's second brother. He's starting to get involved in the port and dock business now, so we can relax our guard.

The father and daughter swam in the sea and were then driven to Pengzhen Railway Station to catch their evening flight to Guangzhou.

Secretary Yu followed them to the train station and decided to finish the remaining work in the industrial zone before returning to Pyeongjing at the end of the summer vacation.

Wei Dong didn't discuss salary with her either; if she wanted to work hard, she shouldn't think of herself as just an employee.

He Yuemei is a role model. She skillfully booked the plane tickets and even bought a box of Cantonese pastries for the shop owner to take back.

This reminded Wei Dong to buy some gifts at Guangzhou Airport.

But feeling sorry for her, she divided the black pearls into several sets and gave them to He Yuemei, asking her to find relevant professionals in Yuezhou to figure out how to replicate them.

Chen Wenliang gave Wei Dong four sets, and kept one set in Lao Fang's office. Lin Wangfu knew the quality of the items. Chi Shiming even said that he would find someone to bring ten sets from Hong Kong for use on the construction site.

Now that Wei Dong has only taken two sets back, it will be up to the Xishan Computer and Electronics Industrial Cluster to crack and replicate them.

Wei Dong felt this was a big business opportunity.

On the way, they were thinking about it. Xiaodie leaned comfortably in her father's arms. The quiet father and daughter received a lot of care from the flight attendant. In the end, it was only when Zhuoma moved to Rang Weidong's side that the overflowing maternal love was stopped.

But when they arrived in Jiangzhou, it turned out that Shen Cuiyue had the audacity to drive to the airport with a woman who was almost nine months pregnant. Shi Tou followed along helplessly, and Ramu naturally took care of the pregnant woman step by step.

Wei Dong was furious when he saw this: "Is this something a human being would do? You've only practiced driving in the factory area for a few days and you dare to drive to the airport?"

This dual-use military and civilian airport was quite remote, unlike later airports which were mostly connected by highways and expressways. It had a winding mountain road and tunnels for twenty or thirty kilometers, and the road conditions were very complicated.

Shen Cuiyue was the kind of person who deliberately provoked scolding while nonchalantly humming and rummaging through her bag to see what she had brought, which earned her a burst of angry shouts from Xiaodie.

This also gave Wei Dong some space to face the pregnant woman.

Although he didn't think he had cheated, and even though he didn't feel any romantic love for his former sister-in-law, but rather familial care, he still felt a little guilty.

Moreover, Dong Xueqing burst into tears upon seeing him; it was the kind of uncontrollable tears of joy.

It's been like this for the past two or three years; whenever we meet again after a break, I feel like crying.

In the end, Mao sighed and drove off.

While driving, she vividly described the thrilling scenes of the Feilubin incident to her younger brother and third sister, while Lamu and Zhuoma enthusiastically participated, holding Xiaodie in their arms.

They made the atmosphere very lively.

It also allowed Wei Dong to have a private chat in the back of the car.

It was obvious that news of the marriage had already reached Shen Laosan, but Fengchu was unaware. In fact, even He Yuemei and the others were unaware; Chi Shiming only went to participate after receiving news from Uncle De's family.

Wei Dong still felt like a weird uncle who had tricked someone into marriage.

It was rare for me to hold Fengtou so tenderly, to prevent her from swaying and bumping herself on the rugged and winding mountain road.

In fact, Dong Xueqing had already turned into a cheerful chatterbox. What's been going on these days? What did the doctor say? Anyway, there's nothing to suffer about. Work and pregnancy are both going very well. What about you? What about you?
Wei Dong was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear: "I...I got a marriage certificate with Miss Qin in Hong Kong..."

That's how straight men do things.

Fengchu's expression froze instantly.

The people in front of the car all rolled their eyes, even Xiaodie did.

They were so noisy, their ears were all perked up.

Shen Cuiyue added, penetrating the several-meter-long interior space: "It's to get Hong Kong residency, to protect our family from being purged... Yes, I said this was the best way when we went to Hong Kong the year before last!"

Dong Xueqing immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at Rang Weidong.

Even in the dim light of the streetlights, Wei Dong could still see the sparkling eyes in her eyes, and he nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, there's nothing between me and her..."

Even I don't think it's very convincing.

But Dong Xueqing believed her: "Yes, then we should take it. What's going on?"

It wasn't an interrogation; it was mainly out of curiosity.

Let Wei Dong explain from the beginning. Lao Fang took him to inspect the industrial zone first. It was indeed necessary to build such a factory area at the forefront of reform and opening up. He originally thought it was to support Lao Fang's work.

As it turned out, the shrewd person turned the tables and, having a clearer understanding of the tens of millions of US dollars flowing in Hong Kong, asked for twenty million US dollars to become the major shareholder of the port and container company.

Just hearing the title of that state-owned container company made Dong Xueqing nervous: "It's dangerous. It's really dangerous for our family to have that title."

This made Wei Dong relax a bit, and he still hugged Erwa's mother and squeezed into the last row: "Yes, in my opinion... our business scale is most secure if we can make a few hundred million or tens of millions a year. Even if we make a lot of sanitary napkins, we won't care if others imitate us. We can quietly collect the money and make cameras and some snacks in a steady stream. We won't touch other businesses. We can slowly and leisurely build up our business in twenty or thirty years and we will definitely be carefree."

The carriage fell silent. Shen Cuiyue quietly mimicked Wei Dong's lip movements to tease Xiao Die, but the little girl struggled to move over Zhuoma and Lamu's knees to snuggle into her father's arms. However, Wei Dong, unusually, reached out to stop her from pushing past the pregnant woman.

“But from the moment your sister dragged me to transport tangerines and we started moving sand and gravel, I realized that since we have come into this world with abilities that ordinary people don’t have, we have a responsibility to help those around us.”

Dong Xueqing, who had been leaning on his shoulder, had lost her nervousness and was now looking up at him with admiration: "Yes! I will remember that scene for the rest of my life when my sister took me to the garbage dump to call for help. We helped so many people, and that is what I am most proud of."

Rang Weidong said, “Originally, we just wanted to get Lao You out, but things changed a lot step by step in Shangzhou, and it was the same in Jiangzhou. We were the only ones secretly happy, but what about the villagers and the people in the factory? We lost the sanitary napkin factory, and so many people became urban poor again. The Xishan factory went bankrupt and couldn't continue operating in the mountains. And Lao Geng and the others... Maybe they would have survived even without us. We are not that great, but we can still change something.”

He didn't mention the college students he had never spoken to anyone: "At Pengzhen West District Wharf, most people only take risks because they are so poor that they have no other choice. And this time, you say it was that guy who was greedy, or was there some unfair handling somewhere? I think we can't let these special departments do business. If we can do business well and stand there impeccably, we can stop the spread of mistakes."

Actually, several members of this family were secretly making funny faces.

Only Fengchu listened: "Even if there are thousands of people against me, I will go. Even if many people disagree, I will resolutely do what is right. Brother, I understand!"

Those seven words alone made Wei Dong nod in satisfaction: "Hmm, you're well-educated and understand better. That's the idea. I'm not so pure either; I have my own plans. But the greater good can't be wrong. So we need to make that dock a success, a dock without illegal immigrants, the best container company, bringing jobs and a good life to millions of people. This is actually exactly the same thing we did at the Shangzhou dock back then."

Dong Xueqing clenched her little fist and said okay.

Then, turning his head, he noticed that Xiaodie was also listening intently, and he chuckled, "Did you understand what Daddy said?"

Xiaodie only grimaced at the sound of the clip; she was a witness to many of these situations.

Fortunately, she wasn't talkative and didn't use the wedding as an excuse to upset her aunt.

Shen Laosan, who was completely unyielding, just made faces in front of his younger siblings, silently conveying to them that the master had passed the test.

This earned him silent disdain from his younger brothers: "Look at you, you've been following your older brother for years, and you still haven't got any balls!"

The younger girls didn't dare to mess with her, but their little expressions were very lively.

So after letting Weidong go home to take care of the pregnant woman and rest, he sent her to work at Bailou as usual the next day. He was busy with a meeting at Xishan Electronics Building until the afternoon, when he picked up the pregnant woman and took her home for dinner. Finally, amidst the cheers and laughter everywhere, he ran up to the second floor to play basketball.

Under the guise of inspecting the food street, Shen Cuiyue casually told Wei Dong as he took the elevator home that she finally revealed her true colors: "You're getting your marriage certificate in the East Palace and having a baby in the West Palace, you're already juggling both. Shouldn't you take a concubine?"

Wei Dong grabbed her ear and scolded her: "No way! I really just wanted to get an identity card, I didn't do anything!"

Shen Laosan grinned and said, "Oh, so they haven't consummated their marriage yet. Your Majesty, I will continue to encourage and match them up."
