Chapter 1296 Good Place
On the plane, Liu Meilan saw Chen's wife beaming with joy and couldn't help but ask, "Chen's wife, what's the good news?"
Sister-in-law Chen replied, "Of course I'm happy to see Shuhua! This girl has graduated and got a job, which is respectable and honorable, so I'm relieved."
Tang Xiaoyu, sitting on the other side, asked again, "Shuhua's job needs to be kept confidential, so traveling might be a bit inconvenient! Besides, Shuhua has graduated, it's time to think about her personal life! Sister-in-law Chen, do you have any thoughts?"
Sister Chen smiled and said, "Shuhua is probably looking for a partner through her workplace. She can't leave for a year or two because she's doing research and development there, and everything has to be kept secret. When I visited her this time, she told me that she had a crush on a young man named Cheng Jin at her workplace. I met him this time, and he's a very handsome and capable young man! Most importantly, they both do scientific research, so they can understand each other, which is why I think highly of them."
Only those with similar work backgrounds can understand each other's hardships.
Different professions are like different worlds; a lack of understanding can lead to many misunderstandings and arguments, which is detrimental to a happy and fulfilling marriage.
"Where are you from, young man?" Liu Meilan asked. "Who's in your family?"
Sister-in-law Chen replied, "Cheng Jin is from Shanghai. Both his parents are university teachers, and he has a younger sister!"
Liu Meilan thought for a moment, "Should we help him find out about the temperaments of his family members?"
Sister Chen waved her hand, "The basic information of such experts is kept confidential. Meilan, you don't need to investigate, so as not to cause trouble! If fate allows and the relationship is established, Cheng Jin will also take action. We'll see then!"
Tang Xiaoyu was slightly worried, "What if the family members have difficult personalities?"
Sister-in-law Chen smiled and said, "That's not a big problem. His parents are used to life in Shanghai, and they probably wouldn't leave their hometown. Besides, they have a younger daughter. Given that their eldest son's job is demanding and he can't take care of the family, they'll naturally have a better relationship with their younger daughter. So, the situation of his future in-laws won't really have a big impact on them!"
Ever since she learned that her daughter liked Cheng Jin, Sister Chen had already mentally rehearsed all the things her daughter would encounter in the future.
Liu Meilan nodded, "That's true! Ultimately, it's about two people; mutual understanding and affection are the most important things!"
"Let's not talk about Shuhua anymore. How did you get here this time?" Sister Chen asked.
Liu Meilan replied, "The Run Pearl factory here has a solid foundation, and its management personnel have a clear direction, making it a worthwhile investment! We have finalized the framework; the rest requires Run Pearl and the local government to sit down and discuss in detail!"
"However, I have something to attend to and cannot stay here any longer. I will have to trouble them to come to Shenzhen to talk to us! We need to get these things settled as soon as possible so that more pearls can be farmed in Hainan Province and Run Pearl Skincare Factory can produce more skincare products!"
Mentioning cultured pearls, Sister Chen's eyes lit up. "Meilan, we found a fantastic island while fishing in the South China Sea! Sometimes it surfaces, but most of the time it's submerged! I think you should just bring your pearl oysters there and scatter them there for wild cultivation!"
Tang Xiaoyu asked in surprise, "The ocean is so vast. If you scatter pearl oysters directly on the reefs, with such big waves, wouldn't all the pearl oysters be swept away?"
Sister Chen replied, "We were sheltering from the storm nearby when the sea calmed down, and the reefs were exposed! We collected a lot of sea cucumbers there and discovered that it was a large circle formed by a series of islands and reefs. Although there were gaps in some places, it was mostly enclosed! The resources in the middle were very abundant!"
"Throw some pearl oysters in there. Even if some are washed away, most will survive! The seafood there is excellent, so they should be able to cultivate very good pearls!"
Liu Meilan's eyes lit up. "Is there really such a wonderful place?"
Sister Chen nodded and replied, "Of course! And it's a tropical area with abundant aquatic plants, small fish, shrimp, and various plankton, which grow very quickly! Scallops and other edible shellfish grow very well! Pearl cultivation should be no problem either! Most of the plants are hidden underwater, so there's no need for anyone to guard them."
Liu Meilan laughed, "I'll ask Captain Xu for the exact coordinates and go there myself! By the way, how far is it?"
Sister Chen nodded and replied, "Our fishing boat is a bit slower; it will take us three days and four nights to get there! Your yacht is faster; it should only take two days! However, we don't recommend you take the yacht, since that's the deep sea, and fishing boats are safer! Why don't you come with us this time?"
Liu Meilan opened her notebook and frowned slightly. "Everything is arranged, and there's no extra time to go to sea! How about this, after I finish attending the congress, I'll go to sea with you when you come back next time!"
"Great!" Sister Chen beamed. "We can go fishing together again!"
Hearing this, Liu Meilan was eager to try, "Sister-in-law, I can't wait!"
Liu Meilan hasn't been deep-sea fishing for a long time, and she really misses that kind of life.
To outsiders, fishing at sea, especially in the open ocean, involves spending a long time on the ship and is a very arduous job.
But for Liu Meilan, who loves the sea, it felt like returning to her cradle—comfortable and blissful.
Now that the child is older, he has many friends and relatives to help take care of him. Yes, his mother often goes on business trips for three to five days or even longer, and she has gradually gotten used to it.
That's why Liu Meilan spends half her time at work and the other half with her family and elders whenever she comes back.
Now Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu have come over too, and they can help take care of the children.
After all, they used to help their other two sons take care of their children and grandchildren, so they were very good at this kind of work.
After returning home, Liu Meilan brought local specialties from Hai Province to visit Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu.
Fu Ying and Fu Hai are playing football on the grass with other children over here.
The children's jumping and hopping brought a touch of vitality to the quiet nursing home.
"Grandpa, as a well-known entrepreneur in the city, I have been selected as a representative to attend the meeting in a few days. What aspects should I propose that I can do something practical? My expertise lies in business. In what ways can I do something truly feasible for the local people?"
Grandpa Fu was slightly taken aback. "Meilan, you're quite good! I didn't expect you'd have the chance to become a representative!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't think about it, but others nominated me! I thought to myself that since I was nominated, we can't just occupy the position and not do anything!"
