Chapter 1201 Heart-to-Heart Talk
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Congratulations! Your aunt and uncle have succeeded in their first business venture."
Linghua said modestly, "Cousin, please don't praise them. Actually, it's all thanks to Liang Cheng's help and your good advice. My parents never expected that they could have a second career at such an old age. Although it's a bit tiring, they are full of energy every day."
Liu Meilan chuckled, "Your aunt and uncle used to worry about you, so after they retired, they came to stay with you. Seeing how sensible and self-disciplined you are, and how well you can take care of yourself in the future, they feel at ease staying in a familiar place and living a more comfortable life."
Linghua wholeheartedly agreed, “Yes, the environment here in Shenzhen is indeed very good. It’s nice to come here for the winter when it’s cold, but they’re not happy to stay here long-term. Now that they have something to do, I can rest assured. When I have time, I’ll fly back to see them.”
After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Meilan asked, "Linghua, tell me, what's on your mind?"
Linghua's voice was a little shy as she whispered, "Cousin, I...I accepted Liang Cheng's confession today."
Liu Meilan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "Congratulations! You're a smart girl. You must have thought this through carefully. I'm happy for you."
She was certain that Liang Cheng was a decent person; as for the rest, she didn't care.
Linghua smiled and said, "Cousin, aren't you going to tell me?"
Liu Meilan smiled. "You're an adult. We've already said everything we needed to in the past to educate and guide you. If you remember it, you'll make the right judgment. If you don't, you might not be able to accept what we say now. The adult world is more complicated, but it's also very fascinating."
"I don't have much experience, but I just want to tell you: before doing anything, think about whether you can accept the consequences of this action, and then decide whether you can do it, rather than whether you want to do it."
Linghua's voice was slightly melancholy, "Cousin, I'm actually very happy now, but I'm worried it won't last. Even if we get married, we won't be able to grow old together. If we get divorced, it will hurt the children."
Liu Meilan chuckled, “Every girl goes through this phase, but hesitation and uncertainty shouldn’t stop us from moving forward. First, accept your choices, and then be sincere in your relationships. Second, be brave; we can love and let go, and be in control of our own lives.”
Linghua pondered seriously, "Weren't you worried about that when you got married?"
Liu Meilan laughed heartily, "Worried? How could I not be worried? But I'm sure Fu Chen is a very good person, someone I love, and my family approves, so I won't hesitate. As for whether we can stay together forever and grow old together, I'm not sure."
"Plans can't keep up with changes. Some things can change in an instant, let alone people. Just because it's uncertain, does that mean we should stop moving forward? Of course not. Even if Fu Chen changes in the future, or we stop loving each other, we can live in peace, we can go our separate ways, but we will never regret our decision."
Linghua pondered for a moment, "Cousin, I understand. Eternity is too elusive; what we can grasp is the present. We can't control other people's future, but we can control our own."
“Yes!” Liu Meilan agreed. “So don’t carry such a heavy burden. Feel it with your heart, enjoy this relationship and its sincerity, and you will gain even more.”
"Thank you. I feel much more at ease after you told me," Linghua said with a smile. "Goodnight, cousin."
"Good night!" Liu Meilan hung up the phone, a smile playing on her lips. Her cousin had grown up; she wished her happiness.
The next day, Liang Cheng and Linghua discussed going back to their hometown together. Linghua agreed, saying that she would talk to her parents about it in person.
Xu Feng, on the other hand, brought local specialties to visit Liu Meilan, Liu Yiwen, and Ye Qiang.
Upon arriving at the office, Liu Meilan pointed to a chair not far away. "Please sit down. After I finish reading this document, please wait for me for five minutes. There are cups, tea leaves, and hot water over there. Please make yourself some tea."
Xu Feng smiled and said, "You go ahead and get busy."
Xu Feng had visited several times and become familiar with Liu Meilan, skillfully preparing tea leaves. He would drink tea while reading newspapers and magazines.
Three minutes later, Liu Meilan finished reading the document, looked up at Xu Feng, and asked, "Leader Xu, what brings you here?"
Xu Feng chuckled, "You're the kind of person who would laugh at me!"
Liu Meilan shook her head, "I wouldn't dare. My third brother is at home, and sometimes I call him 'Leader Liu'."
Xu Feng put down his teacup. "I came here today to ask if our electric vehicle factory can start production ahead of schedule?"
Liu Meilan replied, "No! We must debug according to the procedure. This will not only improve accuracy, but also increase efficiency and reduce mechanical wear when it's actually put into production. Actually, what difference would it make if we expedited it by half a month? Don't rush! By the way, what about the electric tricycle factory?"
Xu Feng replied, "The modification is almost complete and it's currently undergoing acceptance testing. If all goes well, it will be ready for production in another month, which is half a month slower than electric vehicles."
Liu Meilan smiled, "That's great! Doing these two things step by step is your greatest achievement."
"Yes, the leaders think highly of it and value it greatly," Xu Feng replied. "By the way, Meilan, we have many duck and goose farmers in our area, and a lot of duck and goose down. Can we make down jackets from that?"
"You want to open a down jacket factory locally?" Liu Meilan asked.
Xu Feng nodded, "Yes, it can increase employment. Different parts of the duck can also be sold at good prices, maximizing profits."
Liu Meilan took out a business card holder from the drawer, then took out two business cards and handed them to Xu Feng. "These two are relatively strong winter clothing processing and manufacturing companies in the area. You can ask them if they are willing to invest. If not, you can do some basic processing of duck and goose down over there and sell it here, which can also increase your profits."
When Xu Feng heard Liu Meilan's words, he probably knew it wouldn't work, but at least he could sell duck and goose down.
Undeterred, Xu Feng took out another document from his briefcase and handed it to Liu Meilan, saying, "Take a look, is your company interested in this?"
Liu Meilan picked it up and blinked, "Making cars?"
Xu Feng smiled and said, "We have a car factory over there... with some technological accumulation. We can't compete with foreign or joint venture manufacturers in the gasoline car market, so could we develop electric cars?"
Liu Meilan blinked. "Xu Feng, besides the work requirements for attracting investment, do you have any other ideas about electric vehicles?"
Xu Feng replied, “Last month, I went home. An old scientist friend of my grandfather's came to our house for dinner. When he learned that we were making electric bicycles and tricycles, he shared some insights. He said that electricity will become the mainstream in the future, and new energy will be the future direction. He also said that if we do a good job with electric vehicles, we can overtake others by taking a shortcut.”
