Zhang Lili thought for a while and smiled: "Yes, you have two children and you also want to be the principal. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to think about it. But if you feel too tired, just slow down. Comrade Li Wenjun will make money anyway, and so will you
You don’t have to work so hard.”
Gu Zhanyan smiled: "Yeah." In fact, Li Wenjun didn't force her much before. She wanted to be strong. She was afraid that others would say that she was promoted because of Li Wenjun, and she was even more afraid that if she didn't do well, she would be said to be unworthy of Li Wenjun, so
Just push yourself harder.
Before, I could say that I didn’t want to work anymore because I wanted to take care of my family.
What now?
There is no reason, so don’t waste your youth.
Zhang Lili bought a skirt and said, "Let's go back. You should have something to do in the afternoon."
Gu Zhanyan looked at his watch: "Well, it's good to go back."
In fact, their appointment with Jiang Changhang was for tomorrow, but she was afraid that if she continued chatting with Zhang Lili, her embarrassment and regret would be completely seen through by Zhang Lili.
Seeing from a distance that she was approaching home, Zhang Lili suddenly turned around and said: "Teacher Gu, actually I know your hard work. The food factory will soon be unable to open, and you are helping me find a way to survive. I didn't know it was so big before.
State-owned factories will also collapse one day. Although I am carefree and cheerful every day, in fact I am also very scared. If the food factory collapses, the house we live in will definitely be taken away. When I see you this time, I will
Don’t be afraid anymore. These things are really out of your control. It’s like being thrown into a river. Rather than being washed away and drowned, you might as well swim hard and you’ll definitely be able to reach the shore.”
Gu Zhanyan grabbed her hand and sighed: "No. You see, the pyrite mine is going to die. If Li Wenjun hadn't jumped out in advance and found a way to survive on his own, we would really be in trouble right now."
------
When Li Wenjun and Gu Zhanyan came out of Factory Manager Cai's house, Zhang Lili stood downstairs holding Factory Manager Cai's arm and watched them get into the car.
In this era, most people rarely get so intimate with their loved ones even when they are outside.
But seeing Zhang Lili and Director Cai standing like this, Gu Zhanyan didn't feel inappropriate at all.
Probably because Zhang Lili smiled so happily and Director Cai looked resigned.
Li Wenjun looked at them in the rearview mirror and laughed out loud: "Lao Cai's expression is really... He obviously enjoys it, but he has to be so twisted."
Gu Zhanyan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly: "Maybe I'm afraid of being laughed at by you."
------
Li Wenjun and Gu Zhanyan went directly to the city hotel from Factory Manager Cai's house.
Everyone at the front desk of the city hotel knew Li Wenjun and greeted them warmly: "Comrade Li Wenjun, long time no see."
Li Wenjun saw them put on new uniforms, nodded and smiled: "The new uniforms are quite effective."
The beauties all smiled like flowers: "That's right. The clothes designed by Comrade Li Wenjun are said to be beautiful by everyone."
"Every guest who comes to the hotel asks where our uniforms are made."
Gu Zhanyan followed Li Wenjun from a distance, turned around and looked around, but did not get closer.
The beauties were afraid that Gu Zhanyan would be unhappy, so they restrained themselves a little.
One of them asked Li Wenjun: "Can I get a room?"
Li Wenjun: "Yes."
The beautiful woman said: "Comrade Li Wenjun, I'm sorry, but you know our rules. Even though we are old acquaintances, men and women living together need to show a marriage certificate."
Li Wenjun was stunned: "Oh, I forgot to bring it."
Another beauty said: "They showed their marriage certificate last time they came here."
The beautiful woman remained silent.
Li Wenjun said: "Hey, it's okay, don't be so embarrassed, just open two rooms."
The beautiful woman said: "Comrade Li Wenjun is really reasonable."
In fact, even if two rooms are opened, if they have to live in one room, no one else can care about it, they just have to spend more money.
Another laughed: "If others are definitely going to make trouble, Comrade Li Wenjun is more generous and will not make things difficult for us."
In fact, Li Wenjun and Gu Zhanyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This is better and saves you the trouble.
Each took a key and went up.
Li Wenjun said to Gu Zhanyan: "I will drive to the provincial capital tomorrow morning to visit the wholesale market. You can have breakfast by yourself without waiting for me. I will rush back at noon to attend the afternoon meeting with Comrade Jiang Changhang."
The wholesale market is the busiest in the morning, because customers from out of town come here at that time. After buying something, they take the earliest bus or train home so that they can get the new goods before others.
Popular styles are easy to sell in the first one or two months, but they can only recoup the cost later, so time is money. If you can sell it sooner, sell it sooner.
Gu Zhanyan said without thinking: "I'll go with you. I just want to go and see it."
After saying that, she felt a little regretful. In fact, she was worried that it would be unsafe for Li Wenjun to drive alone so early.
So, she added: "If it's too much trouble, forget it."
Li Wenjun smiled: "No trouble. I just have to get up at about four o'clock."
Gu Zhanyan: "It's okay. If you can get up, so can I."
Li Wenjun nodded: "Okay, then go to bed early today and I'll call you when I get up. We'll go to the provincial capital for breakfast."
Gu Zhanyan didn't know if she had noticed her little thoughts, so she blushed and lowered her head to open the door and go in.
Gu Zhanyan set her own alarm clock, washed herself up early in the morning, and came out as soon as Li Wenjun called her.
Even in early summer, there was almost no one on the road after four o'clock, and they were the only car on the highway.
In fact, Li Wenjun often drove out to do errands before dawn alone.
Others thought he had amassed this incredible wealth with just a few clicks, but she was the only one who understood his hard work best.
It wasn't that she was inconsiderate before, but she didn't understand. If it was so hard, why did she have to continue?
After the children's school was merged, and when she said those words to Zhang Lili again, she suddenly understood what Li Wenjun said before: if he stops, everything he has now may be reduced to zero.
If it hadn't been for Li Wenjun's guidance, the downsized employees of the Children's School would not even have a place to live.
Gu Zhanyan suddenly turned to Li Wenjun beside him and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Li Wenjun glanced at her and said calmly: "Fortunately, with you and the children, it doesn't feel very hard."
Before, he was like a lone wolf killing in the wilderness. When he was injured, he had to heal himself. When he caught prey, he had no one to share with him, which was hard work.
Drive along the highway for an hour and you will arrive at the wholesale market.
Gu Zhanyan was mentally prepared, but he was still surprised by the excitement of the wholesale market.
There were so many people coming and going in the huge square that it was hard to tell that it was five o'clock in the morning. The aisles of the wholesale market were also densely packed with people.
Small trucks came and went, unloading their goods in a lively manner and then hurried away like the wind.
"Move out of the way. Get out of the way." The person who was dragging the cart to help deliver the goods shouted and ran forward, and the customers trotted behind.
Every shop was crowded with merchants bargaining and selecting goods, and they had to speak at the top of their lungs in order to be heard clearly.
Each store owner carried a small bag and was sweating from the business, collecting money, issuing invoices, and then ordering and shipping the goods.
A business worth several hundred yuan was completed within a few minutes.
