Chapter 308 Ah Ling Wants to Stockpile Some Gold
When I got back to the factory, the sun was already setting, and it was time to get off work.
The water dispenser project is progressing very smoothly and has now entered the mass production stage.
Inside the workshop, the roar of machines rose and fell, and the workers busied themselves in an orderly manner, as boxes of brand-new water dispensers gradually took shape on the assembly line.
Once enough inventory has been accumulated, these products, which embody everyone's hard work, will officially enter the market and be tested by the market.
The three of them went into the office, and Zhuang Chaoying told Director An and Lin Wufeng about her novel being made into a movie.
Moreover, there is a highly attractive opportunity to sponsor the end credits of a movie, which is an excellent chance to boost the factory's brand awareness.
Upon hearing this, Director An's eyes widened instantly with excitement. He had been leisurely leaning on the sofa, but now he suddenly stood up, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"Professor Zhuang, what did you say? Your novel is going to be made into a movie? I've never heard Engineer Lin mention that you write novels before. You've been keeping this a secret for a long time! What's the deal with this sponsorship?"
Engineer Lin is very tight-lipped; he didn't tell Factory Director An anything about his affairs. It's so good to have a friend like that.
Zhuang Chaoying explained to the two of them for quite a while.
Factory Director An quickly made the decision. "What are we waiting for? Leave your address right away, and I'll donate fifty electric kettles to the Shanghai film production team. Make sure they have a big logo printed on them."
The matter has been settled.
Afterwards, Zhuang Chaoying and Lin Wufeng rode their motorcycles side by side home.
On their way back, they passed by the vegetable market.
Tomorrow is Sunday. The children have been studying hard, so we need to make some nutritious food to help Xiaoting and Pengfei develop their brains.
So they each bought a Wuchang fish, six spare ribs, and two pig trotters.
When they arrived at their doorstep, the two stopped their motorcycles and turned to look at each other simultaneously.
Zhuang Chaoying smiled. "Engineer Lin, then I'll head back."
Lin Wufeng responded with a smile. "See you tomorrow, Teacher Zhuang. We've agreed to have lunch together tomorrow."
"it is good."
Zhuang Chaoying pushed the motorcycle into the yard, parked it at the edge of the yard, and took out the food she had bought, wrapped in paper, from the box on the back of the motorcycle.
"Ah Ling, I'm back. Look what I bought."
As he spoke, he carried the ingredients and strode into the kitchen on the right-hand side as soon as he entered the room.
Huang Ling was cooking in the kitchen, holding a spatula in her hand. When she heard the sound, she turned around and looked at what Chao Ying was carrying.
"Chaoying, why did you buy so much? Weren't you supposed to be studying today? Why are you back so early?"
Zhuang Chaoying put the pig's trotters and ribs into the enamel basin, explaining as she did so.
"The teacher suddenly fainted today, so no one taught the class and it ended early. I also went to the factory this afternoon and came back with Engineer Lin. I was thinking that tomorrow is Sunday and the children will be tired from studying, so I should make some good food for Xiaoting and Pengfei to help them brainstorm. I bought this pig's trotter especially for you. I heard that pig's trotters are good for beauty and are very good for women."
Huang Ling added a spoonful of salt to the dish. "Chao Ying, bring me a plate."
Zhuang Chaoying quickly took a plate from the cupboard, rinsed it under the tap, and handed it over. Then she took the spatula from A-Ling and put the stir-fried edamame and pickled mustard greens into the plate.
Huang Ling carried the dishes and placed them on the table inside the house.
At this moment, Zhuang Chaoying said, "Ah Ling, you sit down, I'll just make some egg drop soup."
Huang Ling took off her apron, walked into the kitchen, and reached out to help Chao Ying tie it on. "Chao Ying, you went to the factory today? How's that water heater we talked about last time?"
Zhuang Chaoying cracked the eggs with one hand while quickly stirring them with chopsticks in the other. "Ah Ling, I have good news for you. The authorities have approved another twenty acres of land at a low price for the factory, and we'll be adding more production lines soon."
Huang Ling, who was helping him chop tomatoes, turned to look at him with surprise upon hearing this. "Chao Ying, does the factory have that much money?"
Once the water in the pot boiled, Zhuang Chaoying slowly poured the eggs in in a circular motion, then added the chopped tomatoes, some salt and MSG, then covered the pot with the lid and turned away.
“Ah Ling, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The higher-ups are giving us some three-year interest-free loans.”
Huang Ling's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "An interest-free loan, no interest, three years free?"
Zhuang Chaoying nodded. "That's right, it's practically free, which is a rare development opportunity for the factory."
"That's great, Super Hero!"
Huang Ling's eyes lit up, and she gripped Zhuang Chaoying's arm tightly with both hands.
"Will this year's dividends be even higher? Chaoying, Song Ying and I thought about it carefully for a long time the other day, and we both think that buying some gold is a really good idea. Just think about it, how amazing has the price of gold risen in the past few years? In 1983 it was only a little over ten yuan a gram, who would have thought it would rise to fifty-four yuan a gram now? This speed of price increase is really a little scary!"
Zhuang Chaoying stood beside A-Ling and gently patted her hand.
"Sure, gold is a hard currency, so it's a good idea to buy some and keep it. We can save these for Tu Nan and Xiao Ting, and they can each have a share when they get married."
"Let's go tomorrow then. I'm really afraid the price will go up again tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll take you there by bike tomorrow."
Zhuang Chaoying agreed, then looked at A-Ling's neck and asked, "Why aren't you wearing the gold necklace I bought you before?"
Huang Ling subconsciously touched her bare neck. "It's too hot in the workshop. I need to take a shower after get off work, and I'm afraid I'll lose it."
Just then, the courtyard gate creaked open, and Xiaoting and Pengfei pushed their bicycles in from outside.
Lin Dongzhe, pushing his bicycle behind them, watched them longingly. At that moment, he truly missed the old alley and the days when he and Xiaoting lived in the same courtyard.
"Xiaoting, come to my house with Pengfei to do your homework later."
Zhuang Xiaoting turned around, a sweet smile on her face. "Okay."
Pengfei followed behind Xiaoting. "Okay, we'll go after we finish eating."
Seeing Pengfei wink at him, and then the gate to the opposite courtyard closing tightly, Lin Dongzhe shook his head and walked into his own yard.
Zhuang Chaoying, carrying a bowl of tomato and egg soup, called out loudly, "Xiaoting, Pengfei, wash your hands and eat!"
The family sat around the table and finished their dinner.
After dinner, Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling went out for a walk, while Xiaoting and Pengfei went to find Dongzhe to do their homework.
With Pengfei by Huang Ling's side, there's nothing to worry about. The only concern is that the two children might be alone together, but everything has to give way to the senior year of high school.
Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling strolled leisurely toward Suzhou Grand Park.
Taking a walk after a meal has long been a part of their daily lives.
Taking a stroll can help digest food and relax the mind and body. As the saying goes, "Walk a hundred steps after a meal and you'll live to ninety-nine." Zhuang Chaoying's biggest wish now is to stay with A-Ling in this world and walk through the years together.
They lived not far from the big park, less than a 20-minute walk away.
The park was crowded in the evening, and the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, making it a perfect time for a stroll.
Many people were sitting by the lake fishing, their eyes fixed on the floats on the water, waiting for a fish to bite.
