Chapter 1159 Thank her for me
While they were out enjoying themselves today, Cao Yuanyuan went boating and got a little hot, so she took off her jacket. Qin Zheng inadvertently noticed the size label on Cao Yuanyuan's jacket.
So Qin Zheng, using his male perspective and considering Cao Yuanyuan's work environment and requirements, and with the recommendation of the staff, ordered four sets of professional attire and shoes for Cao Yuanyuan.
All clothes and shoes can be exchanged unconditionally if they don't fit.
However, he placed the order first and didn't send it over right away! Qin Zheng knew that Cao Yuanyuan had a strong sense of self-respect, and that he and Cao Yuanyuan were just classmates. If he gave her these gifts in person, Cao Yuanyuan would not accept them at all.
When he returns, he will have these things delivered to Cao Yuanyuan as a token of his goodwill.
Qin Zheng returned to his room, lay on the bed, and received a call from Liu Meilan. "Meilan, why are you calling me so late?"
Liu Meilan smiled and asked, "You didn't discover this, did you?"
Qin Zheng didn't have any connections in the US. Liu Meilan thought of Cao Yuanyuan.
Qin Zheng replied, "It's definitely not what I discovered! Professor Wu is Cao Yuanyuan's teacher this semester. After she saw Professor Wu, she thought he looked a lot like Professor Xie. She was too embarrassed to tell Liu Yibang, so she told me! After seeing the pictures in the email, I took the opportunity of traveling here to visit Professor Wu. After learning some things here, I felt it was very likely that he was a relative of yours, so I contacted you!"
Liu Meilan smiled, "Please thank Cao Yuanyuan for me, and I'll treat her to a meal when she returns to China!"
Qin Zheng was slightly taken aback by these words. "You really don't care about the past anymore?"
Liu Meilan explained with a smile, "Actually, what we care about is that my third brother's relationship with her is over, so they should part ways gracefully and wish each other well. They parted ways because they had different pursuits, not because they fell in love with someone else, and certainly not because they had any deep hatred. Now Cao Yuanyuan has moved on from that experience, proving that she can also face the past with dignity. Why can't I?"
“Just like you said, she was embarrassed to approach my third brother for fear of causing misunderstandings. So she came to you. There’s no unresolved issue between us. I’m grateful to her for helping us resolve this important family matter, and deep down, I also hope that she will get better and better.”
Qin Zheng laughed, "You have a truly broad mind; many people can't do that!"
Liu Meilan smiled. "Whether others can do it or not is none of my business, but I can! To some extent, the fact that Cao Yuanyuan is getting better and better proves that my third brother had excellent judgment back then, liking someone who is truly outstanding! On the other hand, if Cao Yuanyuan gets worse and worse, or even falls into a slump, then it also proves that my third brother's judgment was flawed back then. Of course, this is just my opinion!"
"When you're young, of course you have a lot of experiences! There are many crossroads in life. In reality, if you take a wrong turn while walking, you can turn back. But time and life don't. Since you've chosen the path with its beautiful flowers, don't envy the tranquility of another path!"
Qin Zheng wholeheartedly agreed, "That's what I think too! By the way, Professor Xie said he'd send someone over, will you come?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Meilan shook her head. "My mom won't let me go! But we've now agreed that my second brother will go instead!"
The whole family is quite sensitive, except for the second brother, who is a pure businessman, so going abroad shouldn't be a problem.
Qin Zheng laughed, "I guessed so. Okay, I'm on a trip anyway, so I'll have your second brother come over. I can even help run errands."
Liu Meilan thanked her, saying, "Thank you."
"By the way, I guess the two elders want to return to their roots this time. Are they going to Shanghai?" Qin Zheng asked. "The house you asked me to renovate has been finished for half a year. It's fully equipped and ready to move in anytime."
Liu Meilan thought carefully, "Let's go to Shanghai. Although they are relatives, I can't let them come to Sifang Island. The scrutiny they would face would be too strict, and I can't let them feel like strangers. Shanghai is my maternal grandmother's hometown, and the three siblings would probably prefer the place where they lived back then and have more memories there."
Qin Zheng wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes, that's better. When handling the relevant procedures, we'll go to Shanghai. I'm more familiar with that area, so many procedures will be easier for me."
"Thank you so much," Liu Meilan said gratefully, feeling that Qin Zhengren was too kind.
Just as Liu Meilan was about to hang up, Qin Zheng said again, "Meilan, I just checked and found that your great-uncle's family is in the semiconductor industry. I heard that this field will become a high-profit industry in China in the future. It's just that the technology is relatively backward now. If we can cooperate with your great-uncle's family, there may be more opportunities."
Liu Meilan's eyes lit up. "Semiconductors? That's great. Let's not talk about that yet. Let's get to know each other first. Once they see the policies and achievements of our reform and opening up here, they might be able to invest. Whether they invest in Shenzhen or Shanghai, I'll get you involved."
Qin Zheng smiled, "That's exactly what I've been waiting for you to say."
Having made a considerable amount of money following Liu Meilan's lead, Qin Zheng had too much cash on hand. He was looking for investment projects, but he wasn't interested in those with low technological content. Semiconductors, however, were a field Qin Zheng believed had a very promising future.
After Professor Wu saw Qin Zheng and Cao Yuanyuan off, he immediately drove to the sanatorium.
Inside the sanatorium, Wu Meihua and Wu Zhenhua were having dinner. Their meal wasn't Western food, but proper Chinese cuisine. This sanatorium was very high-end; they had invested in it and hired a Chinese chef.
Wu Meihua divorced her husband years ago, and he passed away. As for Wu Zhenhua, his wife also passed away ten years ago. He divided his business among his two sons, and after retiring, he handed over the family business to them and stopped caring about it. His sister built this nursing home, so he moved in.
Living with older people every day—reading newspapers, drinking tea, and taking walks—is much better than living alone.
As the de facto manager of the sanatorium, Professor Wu came in directly.
When Wu Zhenhua saw his niece, he smiled and asked, "Sisi, what brings you here? Where are your husband and children?"
Professor Wu had already called the medical staff over, and then answered seriously, "They haven't finished their shift yet. I have something to tell you, so please don't get agitated!"
Wu Zhenhua and Wu Meihua, whose expressions had been calm, were stunned upon hearing this. "Sisi, what exactly happened?"
Professor Wu quickly said, "Uncle, Mom, don't worry, it's good news. I... I have news about my aunt."
"How is Songhua now?" Wu Zhenhua asked anxiously. "Is he still alive?"
