Chapter 203 Peng Shao wants Lu Ming to go with him
Since preparing to teach, Wang's wife and Liu Xiaoyu have been working on their preparations.
Feng Yumei watched from the side, her envy reaching its peak.
She now regrets it; if she had followed Wenrou's guidance and studied hard back then, she would be earning a share of the profits now.
However, seeing that everyone else was spending money to buy courses, she certainly couldn't fall behind.
So after returning home, she gritted her teeth, took out all the savings she had accumulated over the years, and enrolled in the course.
Since she didn't become the person in charge, she had no choice but to honestly learn the technical skills.
Now everyone in the compound is focused on learning skills from Sister Wang and no longer pays attention to her as the women's director.
Feng Yumei was originally elected by everyone, but now everyone feels that the position is no longer important, so naturally she has little say in the matter.
Wenrou no longer cares about the fields; she's left everything to Sister Wang and the others, which saves her a lot of trouble.
Fang Yuru and her daughter did not stay in the family compound for long before they started pestering Commander Tan to let them return to Beijing.
Although they don't have to worry about anything living here, with housework and meals provided by a nanny, the environment here is very harsh for them, and they can't stand staying here for even a day longer.
In the end, Commander Tan had no choice but to find someone to send the mother and daughter back to Beijing.
Before leaving, Tan Xinyou insisted on giving Jiang Yan a letter, telling him that he must come to Beijing to find her in the future.
Since she arrived here, everyone has fawned over her and tried to please her, except for Jiang Yan, who doesn't take her seriously.
It was the same back in the military compound; all the little boys would fawn over her, which is why Tan Xinyou felt that Jiang Yan was different from them.
She was afraid that she would never see Jiang Yan again after returning to Beijing, so she thought about asking him to come to Beijing to find her in the future.
When Fang Yuru saw her daughter slip an envelope to Jiang Yan, her expression changed instantly, and she immediately pulled her daughter away.
Tan Xinyou didn't forget to shout loudly at Jiang Yan, "Jiang Yan, you must remember to come to Beijing to find me in the future. I live in the military compound. My name is Tan Xinyou. Don't forget."
Fang Yuru never thought highly of Wenrou, and naturally she also disliked the children Wenrou raised.
To her, what future could Jiang Yan, a poor boy who grew up in the Gobi Desert, possibly have?
"Alright, let's go, the car's here." Fang Yuru pulled her daughter along, got into the car without looking back, and drove away.
Before leaving, she glanced at Wenrou with disdain.
Anyway, they won't see each other again. A woman like Wenrou, who comes from the countryside, probably won't even have the chance to go to a big city in her lifetime.
Wenrou hadn't taken Fang Yuru seriously to begin with. When she turned her head, she saw Jiang Yan throw the letter in his hand into the trash can without even looking at it.
Wen Jinian and his group were gone for several months, and they didn't return until the Chinese New Year.
Wenrou was initially worried, but Wen Jinian called her and said that everything was fine and that she and her family shouldn't worry.
During the Chinese New Year, Wenrou also brought Wen Jianshe over. Except for Wen Jinian, the whole family happily prepared for the New Year.
After earning money, Wen Jiguang spent eighty yuan to buy a house in town. The house had three rooms, which was enough for his family to live in.
The house had just been renovated for the Lunar New Year, so the family spent New Year's Eve in the new house and had a reunion dinner.
Wenrou bought new clothes for all the children and dressed them up on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Wen Jinian returned with his men in March, after the New Year.
To Wenrou's surprise, Peng Shao also returned with them.
"Why are you back?" Wenrou was also surprised to see Peng Shao.
Peng Shao smiled at her and greeted her warmly, "Long time no see."
Peng Shao looked quite different this time. He was still wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses, and his demeanor was even more refined.
Seeing his demeanor, Wenrou knew he was doing quite well outside, so she teased, "What brings the big boss back this time?"
"Stop making fun of me. I won't hide it from you anymore. I've come here to ask you for a favor."
Although Peng Shao was away from home, he knew a thing or two about gentle matters.
Of course, they also knew that she had made a lot of money by growing mushrooms and running a transport team, and even an electrical genius like Lu Ming was willing to follow her wholeheartedly.
This also shows that he didn't misjudge him; what he liked was his gentle yet determined spirit.
"Beg me?" Wenrou was taken aback when she heard Peng Shao's words.
The fact that a future electronics tycoon and the richest man in the world would come to her for help made Wenrou feel flattered.
"Yes, I want one of your people. In exchange, I'll introduce your transport team to a business deal worth no less than 100,000, guaranteeing you won't lose money."
"One hundred thousand?" Wenrou looked at Peng Shao in front of her. Of course she believed his words and believed that he would not cheat her. However, she had never done such a big order before.
As expected of a big shot, he made a business deal worth 100,000 in one go.
It was only the early 1980s, and with the average annual salary in the country being less than 800 yuan, 100,000 yuan was equivalent to more than 10 million yuan in later years. No wonder Wenrou was so shocked.
However, she quickly realized what Peng Shao meant.
"You want Lu Ming from me?"
Wenrou knew Lu Ming's abilities; his future could only truly shine in the electronics industry. Following her wouldn't earn him much money, nor would it allow him to unleash his full potential.
Besides, in his previous life, Lu Ming was Peng Shao's capable subordinate, his right-hand man, but in this life, he was the one who got there first.
Hearing that Peng Shao was willing to exchange such a large business deal for Lu Ming, Wenrou felt quite embarrassed, as she had gotten a great deal for no reason.
"Let's put business aside for now. Lu Ming isn't one of my people. Her own wishes are the most important. We're friends, and I'll support her wherever she wants to go."
Wenrou isn't the type to take advantage of others. Besides, Lu Ming is capable and strong; he won't have a bad future wherever he goes.
However, if he can follow Peng Shao, his future development will only be better.
Soon, Wenrou called Lu Ming over and asked for his opinion.
Lu Ming was certainly willing to follow Peng Shao to develop in Guangdong Province, but he was too embarrassed to tell Wenrou.
Wenrou noticed his hesitation and said, "Go wherever you want, don't worry about me. We're friends. I'll be happy if you do well in the future, but don't forget about me."
Her last sentence was also a joke, which made the atmosphere less heavy.
Hearing her say that, Lu Ming felt less pressured.
Although that's what Wenrou said, Peng Shao always has his own principles. He won't go back on his word if he says he'll introduce business to Wenrou.
"I'll have someone contact you then. Don't worry about the business; with my guarantee, you definitely won't suffer any losses," Peng Shao said earnestly, his words leaving no room for gentle refusal.
In the end, Wenrou had no choice but to agree and accept this huge order of 100,000.
Huo Yanchuan, upon learning that Peng Shao had returned with them, came over directly after training.
"Cousin, it's been a long time." Peng Shao smiled at Huo Yanchuan when he saw him.
Huo Yanchuan frowned, then his expression returned to normal, and he called out to Peng Shao, "It has indeed been a long time, cousin."
After he finished speaking, he walked over to Wenrou, stood beside her, and looked up at Peng Shao, as if to assert his dominance.
Peng Shao smiled upon seeing this. After so long, his cousin was still the same, unchanged.
He then looked at Wenrou and said with a smile, "Since you agreed to what I just said, you can't go back on your word. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Peng Shao's words were indeed easy to misunderstand, and sure enough, Huo Yanchuan's expression changed slightly upon hearing them.
After Peng Shao left, everyone else went about their business.
Wenrou noticed that Huo Yanchuan's expression wasn't very pleasant, and knew that this man was definitely overthinking things again.
She didn't know why Huo Yanchuan would get jealous every time he encountered Peng Shao. She wasn't going to run away with Peng Shao, so what was he worried about?
"Everything's alright here, let's go home," Wenrou said to Huo Yanchuan.
Seeing that he had made this special trip just to show off to Peng Shao, Wenrou looked helpless.
"Why did you make this wasted trip?"
As Wenrou arrived at the door, she realized that Huo Yanchuan had run all the way here. She admired him for running so fast without even breaking a sweat.
So the two of them could only return by bicycle.
Huo Yanchuan stepped forward, reached out to hold the bicycle, put his long legs on the pedals, and then gently sat on the back, naturally wrapping his arms around Huo Yanchuan's waist.
Knowing that the man was still feeling conflicted, she gently reached out and took the opportunity to touch his abdominal muscles twice.
"Peng Shao was talking about business, don't overthink it. I have nothing to do with him, don't be petty," Wenrou explained to him from behind.
Although Huo Yanchuan knew that Wenrou would definitely not have anything to do with Peng Shao, he didn't trust that guy Peng Shao.
His words just now were clearly provocative; they were intentional.
He also acknowledged Peng Shao's excellence in all aspects, which is why he was worried.
Whenever Peng Shao is involved, he can't help but get jealous.
"I know, I believe you, but I don't believe him," Huo Yanchuan said coldly.
Despite his ever-smiling face, Peng Shao is a man of deep thoughts. He always has a feeling that if he wants to compete, no one can beat him.
This is why he loses his composure whenever he encounters Peng Shao, and why he rushed over as soon as he heard that Peng Shao had returned.
"So even the fearless Huo Tuan has something he's afraid of?" Wenrou said with a teasing laugh as she sat on the back of the bicycle.
Huo Yanchuan followed her words and said, "I'm not afraid of anything else, the thing I fear most in this life is losing you."
He was just expressing his thoughts. He and Wenrou had been through so much to get together, and he cherished every day of their happy life together.
He was a soldier. Although his life could not belong entirely to Wenrou, the heart beating in his chest would always belong to her alone.
He knew he had a mission to fulfill, which is why he cherished and was gentle with his two children every day.
I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to be with them anymore.
"Wife, if something happens to me someday, you can take the children and find someone who will treat you well, even if it's Peng Shao," Huo Yanchuan said after thinking for a moment.
Upon hearing his words, Wenrou reached out and pinched his waist hard.
"What are you saying? Pui, pui, pui! You're my husband, the father of my two children, how could you not be here? We're going to spend the rest of our lives together."
Wenrou was ruthless this time, pinching Huo Yanchuan's back until the skin was bruised.
Huo Yanchuan didn't even flinch; the pain was like a tickle to him.
He could clearly sense that his wife was angry. When the car arrived at the entrance of the family compound, before he could even stop, Wenrou jumped off the back of the bicycle and strode inside.
Huo Yanchuan pushed his bicycle and hurriedly followed behind her, his face full of apology.
"Wife..." he called after Wenrou.
Wenrou pretended not to hear, went straight into the house, and closed the door.
Huo Yanchuan stopped the car, walked to the door, and knocked.
"Honey, please open the door. I was wrong about what happened earlier. I shouldn't have said those things and made you angry." Huo Yanchuan couldn't get in, so he could only stand at the door and apologize to Wenrou.
When the others in the compound and the two guards at the gate saw this, they all looked on in disbelief.
Although they already knew that Huo Tuan was afraid of his wife, this was the first time they had ever seen Huo Yanchuan so humble.
Soon, the news reached the military.
When Huo Yanchuan's men heard about this, they were not surprised at all. They were not worried about what would happen to Huo Yanchuan's group; they were more worried about themselves.
Every time the regimental commander was turned away by his wife, it was the other way around that they suffered.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Huo Yanchuan led the new recruits of the army on a cross-country run.
In the Gobi Desert, such weather conditions make trail running a huge challenge for them.
Only after they were all exhausted and collapsed did Huo Yanchuan finally let them go.
Luckily, Li Xiuying was there that evening and opened the door for him; otherwise, he still wouldn't have been able to get into the house.
Wenrou had just finished showering and was drying her hair when Huo Yanchuan walked in, took the towel from her hand, and started drying her hair.
Then, he pressed his body tightly against her back, resting his chin on her shoulder, and gently coaxed his wife, "What I said today was thoughtless and reckless. I was wrong. I will never say such things again. Don't be angry, honey."
