Chapter 1126 We'll Do It Even If It Loses Money
Xu Feng noticed Liang Cheng's strange behavior and came over to take a look.
Liang Cheng quickly put his phone away, and Xu Feng immediately guessed that he was texting Linghua. But what about himself... Oh right, he also had Linghua's phone number, which he had asked his aunt about last night.
So Xu Feng also sent a text message to Linghua.
Linghua's phone message notification was set to vibrate mode.
When Linghua heard the vibration, she picked up her phone and opened it. It turned out to be a message from Liang Cheng, and there was another one... from Xu Feng.
These two text messages further confirmed what her cousin had said—that both Liang Cheng and Xu Feng were pursuing her.
This... is a bit too sudden!
Since she couldn't make up her mind, she decided not to reply for the time being.
Linghua immediately put her phone on silent and then focused intently on reading.
Neither Liang Cheng nor Xu Feng received a reply from Linghua, nor did they see her come downstairs, so they left one after the other.
The snow was falling heavily in the north. Linghua received a notice that flights from Beijing to her hometown in the province were canceled, so she rebooked a flight to Shenzhen.
Luckily, there were tickets available, and the flight was scheduled to take off as planned.
The next morning, Liu Meilan and Fu Chen took Linghua to the airport.
Liu Meilan hugged Linghua: "Safe journey!"
"Mmm!" Linghua hugged Liu Meilan. "Cousin, I know. You've had a hard time this New Year. It's rare for you to come to Beijing. I wish you all the best in the new year."
Liu Meilan nodded: "Yes!"
After Linghua left, Liu Meilan and Fu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. "We originally wanted Linghua to stay here and have a good New Year, but we didn't expect something like this to happen."
Liu Meilan sighed, "A beautiful lady is sought after by gentlemen. Now that Linghua is gone and not around, perhaps it won't be so awkward. As for the future, that depends on Liang Cheng and Xu Feng's abilities."
When Liu Meilan and Fu Chen returned home, Liang Cheng was helping Fu Ying and Fu Hai build a snowman.
Liang Cheng looked behind Liu Meilan and asked, "Where's Linghua?"
Liu Meilan replied, "Something came up at the company, so she went home early."
Liang Cheng was taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "Is it because Xu Feng and I are too annoying?"
Liu Meilan pretended not to hear and turned around to build a snowman with the children.
Fu Chen patted Liang Cheng on the shoulder: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades must continue to work hard!"
Liang Cheng smiled and said, "I won't give up."
Xu Feng had intended to come today, but he had a family engagement and had to attend with his elders.
Even Liang Cheng, after staying there for a while and helping to build the snowman, left.
I only come back for a few days all year round, and I have a lot of social engagements.
Liu Meilan held the materials she had bought from the consulting firm, looking at information about foreign semiconductor companies that were preparing to build factories in China.
In addition, some of the technologies she has developed in collaboration with schools are already mature, while others have not yet yielded results.
When Madam Fu saw her grandson taking care of the child, she asked, "Where's Meilan? She went upstairs after dinner and hasn't come down since."
Fu Chen replied, "I'm looking at some information. Several high-tech factories are confirmed to start production this year, so she needs to be cautious."
Madam Fu asked, "What high-tech stuff?"
“Semiconductors and chips,” Fu Chen replied. “They require large investments, long cycles, and a lot of technical support.”
Madam Fu smiled: "Meilan, you're such a modern woman, always on the go. Does she still go out to sea to fish?"
Fu Chen paused for a moment, then shook his head: "She gave up her favorite deep-sea fishing because of the child. But sometimes, she will go sea fishing in her yacht."
Madam Fu sighed, “That’s just how women are. The new era has given women more opportunities, but also more responsibilities. They not only have to pursue their careers, but also shoulder the heavy responsibility of giving birth and raising children. When you come home on your leave, you must help Meilan share some of the family responsibilities.”
Fu Chen nodded: "Grandma, I know. I never let Meilan worry about the children at home, and I even encourage her to go sea fishing and do what she likes."
Madam Fu's eyes showed approval: "Now everyone gives Meilan a thumbs up. This girl is decisive and has a long-term vision. No wonder the Liu family made her the head of the family."
Fu Chen laughed: "Yes, many people didn't believe it at first, but after they really understood, they realized how amazing Meilan is."
"What a pity, the Fu family..." Old Madam Fu actually hoped that Liu Meilan could take charge of the Fu family.
Fu Chen quickly said, "Grandma, my brothers are all good. Please don't add to my burden!"
Madam Fu laughed and scolded, "I was just thinking about it. No way. Respect for elders is the proper order. Brothers fighting among themselves is a sign of a broken family."
Fu Chen smiled: "Yes, Grandma! Although not all of my brothers are outstanding, half of them are doing very well in their careers. Our Fu family will only get better and better. As for Meilan and me, we will also provide the Fu family with the necessary assistance."
Madam Fu smiled: "Xiao Chen, you're just too clear-headed. You went to the navy all by yourself without using any of your family's connections, and you suffered so much, but you finally made it. What's even more gratifying is that you found such a good wife. Now, your grandfather, your parents, and I are the least worried about you."
Fu Chen laughed: "It's good that you don't need to worry! This proves I'm doing well!"
"Yes!" Old Madam Fu smiled, chatting with her grandson, her eyes full of affection for Fu Chen.
Seeing how well-behaved her children were, Old Madam Fu was especially happy. When Fu Chen was looking for a daughter-in-law, she paid special attention to this—even if she wasn't a great beauty, she had to be above average in appearance, so that the children she gave birth to would be good-looking.
Fu Chen and Liu Meilan are both very good-looking, while Fu Ying and Fu Hai are clearly the most outstanding among the younger generation, and they are also particularly intelligent.
After thoroughly understanding the materials, Liu Meilan wrote down some key points in her notebook. Then, with Professor Xu's introduction, she visited university teachers and various experts.
She actively discussed with her teachers and experts, hoping they would continue their efforts in the new year's research.
She visits people who insist on independent scientific research and development, and she is willing to spend money on it.
Seeing Liu Meilan working so hard, Fu Chen asked softly, "There's also an expert named Wang who's quite skilled. Why don't you go and visit him?"
Liu Meilan shook her head: "No matter how capable that person is, it's useless. He has changed his attitude now, saying that it's better to buy than to make. Even if we make it, it will be inferior to foreign products, and the cost will be higher, so it won't be cost-effective. But we can't think of it that way—we can be behind, but we can't be without it."
Fu Chen replied, "Yes, it's like a positioning system. Once someone turns it off, our ships become blind at sea, and our missiles can't find their targets at all. What's the use of building more ships and more missiles then?"
Liu Meilan wholeheartedly agreed: "That's why many scientists and experts believe we can't give up, and I'm willing to contribute money to support them!"
Fu Chen smiled and said, "We will definitely succeed."
Liu Meilan nodded: "So while I am actively introducing foreign technology and equipment, I am also promoting independent research and development. One day I will succeed."
Fu Chen hugged Liu Meilan: "I believe you."
