Chapter 648: Who’s Here?

Fu Mingxue sat down quickly. "Director Liu, you just said the order volume was huge?"

Director Liu immediately grew excited. "That’s right. This many—"

He made a gesture with his hand.

He added excitedly, "The foreign exchange from this order is going to be substantial. I honestly didn’t expect it. Which reminds me, we really have you to thank!"

"Our factory, too. We received a ton of orders for the modified mountain bikes. It’s enough to keep us comfortable for the next two years."

"We’re also incredibly grateful to you, Ms. Fu. And what’s more, we received plenty of domestic orders for that tricycle you designed."

All in all, the Canton Fair was a massive success.

Most importantly, the price foreign buyers were offering for the mountain bikes was extremely high.

If these orders are fulfilled, the profits will be truly substantial.

It would bring a significant amount of foreign exchange into the country.

Hearing this, Fu Mingxue was happy for them.

Director Liu took out the gift he had brought.

"I bought this at the trade fair. I’m sure you’ll love it."

Fu Mingxue curiously opened the bag.

She discovered it was a personal stereo.

It was much smaller than the ones sold in stores.

"It’s the latest model. I hear it has excellent reception. And it doesn’t just work as a radio to pick up stations, it can also play songs—anyway, it’s packed with features."

"Plus, it’s so small you can actually carry it around in your pocket."

"Thank you, I love it. But I have to pay you for this—"

"Oh, Ms. Fu, what are you doing? You’ve helped us so much. What’s the big deal about us giving you a personal stereo?"

"Let’s keep things separate. Besides, I already received a bonus for my work."

Fu Mingxue insisted on paying, and a reluctant Director Liu had no choice but to tell her the price.

After paying for it, Fu Mingxue was very happy.

The group chatted for a little while longer before Director Liu and Director Zhang left together.

The next day, Fu Mingxue left by train with Director Zheng and the others.

However, they were heading to different destinations.

Director Zheng and his group were returning to Beijing City.

Fu Mingxue, on the other hand, was heading to the base.

So, they weren’t on the same train.

After returning to the base, she threw herself even more deeply into her work.

In June, she returned to Beijing City once again.

When Mrs. Fu saw her, she was overjoyed. "I had a feeling you’d be back around now."

"Mom, I missed you so much."

Fu Mingxue put down her luggage and gave her a hug.

Mrs. Fu was still a bit unaccustomed to such displays.

"—Oh, you’re all sweaty! Hurry up and go wash. By the way, what do you want to eat? I’ll go make it for you."

"Anything is fine—"

As soon as Fu Mingxue said this, the twins came running out of a room.

"Mama!"

"Mama!"

The two little ones were overjoyed to see their mother was back.

Fu Mingxue was just as happy to see them.

"You’ve gotten so much taller!"

Mrs. Fu, who saw them every day, didn’t really notice, but since Fu Mingxue hadn’t seen her children in a while, she could tell at a glance how much they had changed.

The two little ones didn’t mind their mother’s sweaty smell at all.

After hugging them, Fu Mingxue herself couldn’t stand the smell anymore.

"Hold on, Mama’s going to take a quick shower first."

The two little ones immediately backed away.

Half an hour later, Fu Mingxue emerged, feeling completely refreshed.

She picked up her little girl. "You feel a bit heavier, and you’ve gotten much taller too."

Just as she said this, Mrs. Fu came out carrying a bowl of noodles.

The corner of her mouth twitched.

’It’s only been a month or two. Such an exaggeration.’

’Even if she did get taller, it was just a tiny bit.’

"Hurry and eat your noodles."

"Alright. I’m starving, actually." Fu Mingxue put her daughter down, walked over to the table, and sat down to eat.

The two little ones had eaten lunch not long ago, so of course they weren’t hungry. They just waited obediently by the side.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.
