Qin Wenying pouted.

"Auntie, I was just kidding. Thank you for coming to see me."

Mrs. Fu was actually very fond of Qin Wenying.

But she also knew it was impossible for Qin Wenying to come and stay with her for the next few days.

Her family certainly wouldn’t agree.

"You can come over anytime you want."

Qin Wenying replied, "Okay!"

Then she beckoned to the two children.

The two children, who had just been lifted out of the three-wheeled cart, immediately trotted over to Qin Wenying.

They tilted their heads up and shouted in unison, "Auntie!"

"Good!"

"Auntie, does it hurt? Keke will blow on it for you!"

Qin Wenying: ...?

’Blow on what?’

Before she could react, the little girl grabbed her hand and blew hard—

Spit landed all over her hand.

Qin Wenying stiffened.

"—Keke, it doesn’t hurt anymore."

"Oh, it’s all better already?"

"Yes, yes—" Qin Wenying pulled her hand back, smiling as she gently pinched the girl’s rosy cheek. "Auntie is so grateful to our dear Keke."

’Sure enough, a sweet-smelling, adorable little girl really was very cute.’

’Of course, if I had to raise one myself—no way.’

’I’m terrible at raising children.’

While Mrs. Qin watched the two children crowd around Qin Wenying, she and Mrs. Fu carried the items from the three-wheeled cart into the house.

"You shouldn’t have brought all this."

Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "They’re for Wen Ying, to help her build up her strength."

"That’s so thoughtful of you. Oh, and you must stay for lunch."

This time, Mrs. Fu didn’t refuse. She agreed cheerfully.

"Alright!"

Then she greeted Granny Qin, who had just come out.

Meanwhile, Fu Mingxue had been at the Canton Fair for several days.

The experience had truly been an eye-opener.

However, the most important part of her trip was attending a three-day academic conference.

Once it was over, she planned to head back.

This time, instead of returning to Beijing City, she was heading directly back to the base.

Her train ticket was for 8:30 the next morning.

She had planned to go out and buy a few things, but by the time she was done with her work, it was already seven in the evening.

So she decided against going out.

Just as she was preparing to write a report on the conference in her room, there was a knock on the door.

Fu Mingxue went to open the door. She was a little surprised to see Director Liu and Director Zhang from the bicycle factory standing there.

"Mr. Fu, we heard you’re leaving tomorrow, so we came to see you. We also brought you a few things."

Director Liu smiled and handed her the items he was holding.

"Director Liu, what is this for?"

"These are just some small trinkets we bought at the exhibition. They’re not worth much. By the way, we received a lot of orders this time, and it’s all thanks to you. That engine you designed—can you guess how many orders we got from the foreigners for it?"

The doorway was no place to talk, and her own room wasn’t suitable either. Just then, Director Zheng from next door opened his door.

An idea struck Fu Mingxue, and she quickly said, "Director Zheng, would it be alright if we came and sat in your room for a bit?"

Director Zheng nodded without hesitation. "Of course. Come on in."

This was exactly what Director Liu and Director Zhang had hoped for.

They immediately followed Fu Mingxue into Director Zheng’s room.

Fortunately, this room was quite large, with a table and a few stools for guests.

Director Zheng said to the three of them, "Please, have a seat. Would you like some tea?"

Director Liu and Director Zhang quickly waved their hands in refusal. "No need, we’re not thirsty."

Although the two of them were also factory directors.

But they also knew Director Zheng was a high-ranking official. They couldn’t possibly let him pour water for them.
