Chapter 796 - 728: Return to S City (Part 2)

Originally, Han Yi was supposed to go back with her, but he immediately had to undertake a task. It’s uncertain when he will return.

It’s often said that women in their thirties are like tigers, but men in their thirties are also quite fearsome. The next day, Lin Wan was so exhausted she couldn’t get up.

In the mornings, it was Han Yi who took Xingxing to school.

In the blink of an eye, it was the children’s holiday period, and there was a call from S City asking her to return early.

After seeing Han Yi off, Lin Wan packed a few clothes for her and her daughter, and drove towards S City.

"Mom, Bao Bao and Beibei should be walking by now, right?"

"Not only walking, they can talk too. Tomorrow, Mom will take you to your godmother’s factory."

When Lin Wan and Little Star arrived at their home in S City, it was around seven in the evening. The mother and daughter tidied up the room a bit, preparing to spend the night.

This time, she brought a big blanket, planning to buy a mat in the street tomorrow. After all, they’re not staying here for a long time.

"Should we go see Grandpa and Grandma?"

"Of course we should. Tomorrow isn’t a holiday, your Grandpa and Grandma are sure to be at work. We’ll visit them tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay."

Fortunately, before coming, Lin Wan specifically bought some essential oil and mosquito coil to keep in the car, ensuring Little Star could have a good sleep tonight.

The next morning, Lin Wan wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Around 8 o’clock, she took Little Star to the market, bought some rice, flour, household supplies, and a mat.

Then she prepared some gifts to keep in the car. These were for friends, to avoid running around purchasing gifts in these couple of days.

Around nine o’clock, Lin Wan took Little Star to the factory. They happened to catch the auspicious time for setting the beam.

Uncle Liu, who was supervising, did a great job, treating it as if it were his own house, handling every aspect responsibly. Speaking of which, most of the factories in this area were overseen by him.

The Urban Construction Bureau can also accept external projects.

Once this big beam is up, within a month, this side can be completed. The construction of this factory took over a year. It can finally start generating profits.

Lin Wan spent the entire morning at the factory with Little Star, and Uncle Liu showed her some details. Then the two checked the accounts. When she left initially, Uncle Liu had given her a budget.

Lin Wan willingly gave the advance to Uncle Liu, and now it was the right time to review the accounts. Surprisingly, the original budget wasn’t even fully used.

Casually, there was more than two thousand yuan extra. Lin Wan still didn’t know how to thank Uncle Liu since he insisted on returning the money to her.

Helplessly, Lin Wan could only later think of another way to show her gratitude.

At noon, Lin Wan took Little Star to the clothing factory, where Su Ling and Yin Peibai were already waiting for her.

"Is everything settled over there?" Su Ling asked when they arrived, glancing at her watch. It was already past twelve.

"Sister-in-law Zhang specially prepared a table full of dishes for you. Come on, let’s eat while we chat. Little Star must be hungry, let Aunt Su hold you."

Su Ling bent down to hug Little Star; but at five years old, she had learned to be shy. Seeing Su Ling approach, she hurriedly hid behind her mother’s legs.

"Oh dear, are you shy with us now?"

"Hello, Aunt Su." Su Ling had visited Z City last year, so Little Star recognized her. Despite being shy, she politely greeted her.

Lin Wan held her hand and said, "Do you remember your brother Tiger? Look beside your Aunt Su, there’s your brother Tiger, and next to your Aunt Pei there’s Mimi and Little Xin."

Little Star didn’t have much impression of Mimi and Little Xin, but she did have some recollection of Tiger. Though vague, she knew Tiger wasn’t as sturdy or tall as he is now the previous year.

There’s no denying it, Su Ling’s son keeps growing stronger, a real little tiger. At just six years old, his height is already 1.3 meters.

It seems there’s no family member with this gene.

Turns out, Su Ling mentioned Tiger looks like Liu Wei did when he was young. He’ll slim down as he grows taller.

Compared to Yin Peibai’s children, Mili and Little Xin, who are slender and fragile, Tiger stands as the big brother among the group of kids.

"Does Tiger play with Mili and Little Xin?" Lin Wan was genuinely worried Tiger might bully the other kids with his huge stature.

"The kids play well, but Mili and Little Xin are quite young. Tiger doesn’t really enjoy playing with them," laughed Yin Peibai. Her children were indeed skinny compared to Tiger. Sometimes, she’d even asked Su Ling what she was feeding her child as he seemed to be growing uncontrollably.

"Older children don’t usually like playing with younger ones. My Little Star is the same back there."

Lin Wan, Su Ling, and Yin Peibai chatted about the kids, not wanting to keep the restaurant waiting too long. They took the children and left the office.

In the office building, apart from Liu Baicheng and the early hires who knew her, no one knew Lin Wan was a major shareholder of Wanyi Clothing Factory.

As they walked through, the staff saw the bosses coming with the kids and a stranger following along. They assumed she was a friend visiting the factory.

Some seniors recognized Lin Wan and remarked in surprise, "This is our factory’s big boss, more influential than the chief."

"Really? I’ve never seen her before."

"She’s not based in S City. Do you know which city receives the most shipments from us?"

"Z City, everyone here knows."

"Z City is overseen by the big boss. Incredible, she’s influential everywhere."

"That’s how it is."

....

Lin Wan was unaware that the workers were discussing her as they reached the dining area, where quite a few people had already settled for lunch.

From afar, she saw Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Liu busily serving meals, their faces adorned with smiles.

"The sisters have been thrilled since they took over the canteen. Business gets better every day. Just in our factory alone, there are over a hundred employees. Added to the nearby workers, factory staff, they host quite a few guests daily. Huang Yingzhang even mentioned buying them a small car just days ago, worrying their return at night might not be safe," Su Ling commented, watching the sisters serving staff.

"That’s great! At least I didn’t lead them astray, quite the opposite, helped them prosper."

"It’s not just about helping them prosper. Look! The sisters have even hired five or six employees themselves, all sisters from the army. It’s a chain reaction, and life will keep getting better."

"Indeed."

The trio with the kids arrived at a private room on the second floor; Shi Lan already was there with the children.

"Xingxing, let godmother hug you."

"Godmother!" Little Star, upon spotting Shi Lan, immediately jumped from her mother’s arms into Shi Lan’s embrace.

"Look, look, godmother and aunt are quite different." Su Ling pointed laughingly at the close interaction between Shi Lan and Little Star.

"No choice, my goddaughter and I talk almost every other day." Shi Lan raised her eyebrows, eagerly seating Little Star beside her to play along with Bao Bao and Beibei.

The children together paid no mind to eating, gathering and playing rambunctiously inside the room.

Yin Peibai prepared some finger foods for the kids, allowing them to play and eat simultaneously.
