Chapter 258 Fang Yi's Phone Call.
Shen Li drove back to the villa.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Shen Li knew that her mother had arrived, and she went straight to her grandmother's courtyard.
Lu Zhou was sitting in the main hall. When he saw Shen Li return, he was about to get up when he saw Shen Li turn and walk to the other side.
This was the first time Lu Zhou had suddenly disliked such a large courtyard. Now the courtyard was so big that unless they were eating together, they rarely saw each other, unlike before when they would see each other all the time; now, even a fleeting glance was difficult. He silently gazed at Shen Li's figure ahead until she stopped.
Shen Li entered Grandma Shen's courtyard and saw the three of them sitting inside drinking tea. Shen Li had a large tree planted in each courtyard, but they hadn't grown yet. It was a cloudy day, otherwise everyone would have been sitting outside.
When Nuannuan saw Shen Li return, she ran up to her and said, "Auntie."
"Sigh..." Shen Li picked her up. "Mom, what brings you here today?"
"I missed you, so I came to visit!" Mrs. Shen said with a smile.
"It's my fault. Why didn't you call me before you came? I wouldn't be going out today," Shen Li said.
Mother Shen waved her hand: "It's alright, just go about your business. Whether you're a man or a woman, career is very important."
Grandma Shen, listening nearby, asked, "You've been leaving early and coming home late every day lately, what new ideas do you have?"
Shen Li smiled and said, "I suddenly have an idea to acquire a machinery factory and make electronic products."
Grandma Shen was a little puzzled: "Electronic products? Then you'll need to recruit some talented people from the university to do research."
Shen Li was quite surprised. Although her grandmother stayed at home every day, her ideas were not outdated at all. "Yes, but I'm still contacting factories. I don't want to rebuild from scratch. It would be best to acquire a second-hand one, which would save me a lot of trouble."
Grandma Shen pondered for a moment: "Hmm, do you really have that much energy? With such a big business, how will you manage your studies?"
Shen Li knew that her grandmother was concerned about her, so she quickly said, "Grandma, don't worry! Lu Cheng's mother is taking care of things at the beauty salon, so I don't usually need to go there; as for the machinery factory, I only need to do things myself in the early stages, but I won't have to do everything myself after that."
Shen's mother chimed in, "It's good that you know what's going on. Don't overwork yourself."
Shen Li nodded: "I know. Since Mom is here, why don't you stay for a couple of days?"
After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Shen said, "Okay!"
"So, Mom, are you planning to stay in this courtyard, or at my place?"
"Stay at your place, Nuannuan and I will stay together," said Shen's mother.
Shen Li replied, "Okay!"
Nuannuan moved closer to Shen's mother, snuggled up to her, and said, "Grandma, I missed you too."
Mother Shen smiled and gently pinched her little nose: "I can tell you don't miss your grandma at all, otherwise you wouldn't have come home to visit for so long."
Nuannuan immediately defended herself: "I was thinking that Grandma works hard taking care of me, so this is a good opportunity for her to relax."
Shen Li pulled her into his arms, pretending to be angry: "Hey, Grandma has it hard taking care of you, but your aunt doesn't?"
Nuannuan quickly hugged Shen Li's arm: "No, Auntie works hard too. She helps me wash clothes and take a bath every day."
Shen Li gently stroked her little nose, his eyes full of doting affection.
Seeing this, Shen's mother smiled and said, "Even if you had a child yourself, you probably wouldn't be able to give birth to such a thoughtful daughter."
Shen Li looked down at Nuan Nuan and said softly, "Yes."
Grandma Shen said, "If you really like children, have one after you graduate. There will be someone at home to take care of it. After you have the baby, you can focus on your career later."
Shen Li nodded: "Yes, that's what I think too. I want to have a child first after graduation so that I can focus on developing my career later."
Shen Li stayed in Grandma Shen's courtyard until dinner time before going to the front yard with everyone else.
The whole family was present at dinner that evening.
When Lu's mother saw that Shen's mother was also there, she was quite surprised and quickly offered her some polite words.
Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "I'll be bothering you for the next few days."
Mother Lu quickly replied, "We'd love for you to stay longer. It's fine if you stay; it'll make the house more lively."
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen felt even more at ease. Shen Li had previously said that the Lu family was good, and now that she had experienced it firsthand, it was indeed true. It made sense; if the Lu family weren't good, Grandma Shen wouldn't be able to stay here so comfortably.
For the next two days, Shen Li stayed at home and waited for news from Fang Yi. Shen's mother also stayed at the villa, and Shen Li kept her and her grandmother company.
Shen's mother found everything in Shen Li's home novel, and Shen Li explained that it was sent from abroad by a friend. Upon hearing that it was foreign goods, Shen's mother couldn't help but worry, but Shen Li quickly reassured her that it was alright. Seeing a set of bathroom fixtures, Shen Li suggested installing one for the Shen family as well, but Shen's mother shook her head, saying that she felt more at ease with traditional ones.
Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, the phone rang in Shen Li's courtyard.
She answered the phone: "Hello!"
A steady voice came through the microphone: "Hello, Comrade Shen, this is Fang Yi."
Shen Li's lips curled up slightly: "Director Fang, I thought you had stood me up."
"How could that be? I always keep my word." Fang Yi smiled. "I've already inquired about the matter. Director Feng of the Industry Bureau happens to be free this afternoon and can meet with you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Li immediately said, "That's wonderful! Could you please introduce me, Director Fang? I don't know the way very well, perhaps we could go together?"
"Okay," Fang Yi readily agreed.
"What time do you think would be appropriate, Director Fang?"
"I think 2:30 would be a good time."
"Where is it located?" Shen Li confirmed the address so she could calculate the time.
Fang Yi gave the address, and Shen Li did some calculations: "How about this, I'll pick you up at the factory at two o'clock, and then we'll go to the Industry Bureau together."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Li immediately went to the study next door.
The study was filled with many things, including fine tea, good wine, and good cigarettes.
Shen Li took a little of everything, intending to put it in the trunk later—for a businessman, it's always a good idea to keep these things in the trunk.
After washing up, Shen Li went to the front yard to have breakfast.
Shen's mother looked at Shen Li and said, "Li, I'm going back now." Then she looked at Nuan Nuan beside her and asked, "Nuan Nuan, are you going back with Grandma?"
Nuannuan shook her head: "Grandma, can I come back after school starts?"
Mother Shen: "Little girl, you don't want to leave after playing."
Nuannuan: "No, I'm here to keep my great-grandmother company."
Grandma Shen laughed: "Little girl, if you don't want to leave, don't use me as a shield."
Nuannuan looked aggrieved: "Grandma, you don't love me anymore."
Everyone laughed.
Looking at Grandma Shen, Mrs. Shen asked, "Mom, would you like to come back with me for a few days?"
Grandpa Yu, who was standing nearby, heard this.
Their ears perked up.
Grandma Shen replied, "No, it's more comfortable staying here at Lili's place. I don't want to go anywhere else. Besides, I've been staying here for so long, and I should go back to my own courtyard in a few more days, so I won't go to your place."
