Chapter 531: Chapter 448: How Do You Plan to Handle This? (First Update)
The next day, the trip to North City could finally begin.
Bai Shasha brought her so many specialties from North City, and this time she instructed to bring back the same for her.
Jiang Fan called Li Si, her boyfriend had arrived in North City, so she could meet him and check him out.
Returning to North City, Li Si also brought many specialties from Beijing, planning to give some to Bai Shasha’s and Jiang Fan’s families, and if Grandma Wang was in North City, she wanted to visit and was craving the old lady’s pickled vegetables.
The house her family received after relocation had been looked after by Grandma Wang, and she was unsure if Grandma Wang was comfortable in the new neighborhood.
There was also the villa left by her father that needed to be properly tidied up.
Even though she didn’t live there, as long as those two houses remained, it felt like her home was still there.
The gravesite for her father had already been selected, chosen by a famous Feng Shui Master that Leng Mochen specifically found. It’s located in a tranquil area, backed by mountains and facing water, with excellent Feng Shui.
Li Si went to see it and found it to be an ideal resting place. It was also conveniently located if she wanted to visit.
The Feng Shui Master would also be arriving in North City for an on-site assessment, considering her father’s birth date and date of death to determine the best time for grave relocation.
She had heard from him that the best time to relocate a grave was during Qingming, but since that period had passed, he would find another suitable date.
Li Si, along with Buding and Leng Mochen’s family, accompanied by Sister Ding, Aunt Zhang, Jiang Tong, Xiao Guai, and four bodyguards, finally flew back to North City in early July.
Compared to the heat of Beijing, North City in July was noticeably cooler.
The mornings and evenings here were more refreshing, though the midday sun was scorching.
As soon as she got off the plane, Li Si felt the comfort of the breeze against her skin.
She glanced back at Leng Mochen, who was also smiling, and they exchanged a knowing smile.
This place felt like home.
Even though she had settled in Beijing, had a husband and child, and many friends,
North City was a place she recognized as her hometown. Every time she set foot here, she felt incredibly relaxed and happy.
Perhaps Buding was also affected by their mood, curiously looking around in Sister Ding’s arms, constantly swiveling his little head.
The group got into the cars sent by the Mo Si Branch to pick them up and headed straight to Century Tiancheng Villa.
On the way, the branch manager in the front seat briefly reported Mo Si’s recent operational status.
"President! Let me report some situations about the factory..."
Leng Mochen listened quietly, sometimes glancing at Buding and Li Si.
When Mo Si set up a factory here, it received strong support from the city government. Since their company was registered in Hong Kong, they received many policy benefits.
The original factory site had developed into a new industrial park, boosting the surrounding economy. Following Leng Mochen’s instructions at the beginning-of-year meeting, they wanted to expand the factory area within the park and build new production workshops.
This plan now faced obstacles.
With profits come competition, and recently a foreign-funded company, also in the cosmetics sector, entered the park.
They had already reached some agreements with the new city government leadership, and their chosen site just happened to be the land where Mo Si intended to expand.
Perhaps the other side deliberately wanted to compete with them!
After listening, Leng Mochen gave no comment, merely nodding. Only when they arrived at Century Tiancheng did he make calls, giving instructions.
After Buding arrived at the new home, his eyes darted around curiously, while Xiao Guai instantly made himself comfortable on the sofa.
The house had been cleaned and aired in advance, so it felt fresh and comfortable everywhere.
Once Li Si finished tidying up after dinner and came out of the bathroom, Leng Mochen had already showered and was handling some documents.
"What do you plan to do?"
Even though she had only caught snippets in the car, it seemed like the more successful they were, the more competition they attracted in the domestic market.
But why was the foreign company specifically targeting Mo Si? Was there something fishy here?
Leng Mochen took the towel from her hand, drying her slightly wet hair.
"Tomorrow there’s a government department banquet, and I happen to be able to attend and meet with the foreign company to see their background!"
What the subordinates said was partial, thus he needed to investigate thoroughly to make a final decision.
If it was simply because the other party was more powerful and the new leadership was showing favoritism, then he could completely give up on North City.
"Alright, know your enemy, know yourself, and you will never be defeated. You go ahead; don’t worry about us. But come back early and don’t drink too much!"
Leng Mochen tapped her nose, "Got it, little housekeeper!"
"You’re the Chief Housekeeper Leng!"
Li Si sat at the dressing table applying skincare, and Leng Mochen hugged her from behind.
"Hey! Stop it!" She was applying to her neck, and he was making it impossible.
He let her go, sitting on the sofa beside her, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Xiao Fan said her boyfriend is in North City, so I definitely need to meet him! We’ve arranged lunch for tomorrow. Also, I’ll drop off some specialties at Bai Shasha’s, and if there’s time, I’d like to visit Grandma Wang!"
"Sounds busy; no need to hurry! We have time!" Leng Mochen’s fingers drummed slowly on the sofa armrest.
Li Si gave him a look, "No hurry? After relocating my father’s grave, we have to rush back immediately. I’m only hurrying because I want a few extra days abroad." Mo Si International Furniture is opening on August 18th; they can’t be abroad and only return the day before, right?
With the responsibilities of both Mo Si and the Leng Family upon him, the pressure and workload were immense.
Even if they went abroad, he would undoubtedly still handle business matters.
So the schedule was incredibly tight.
Li Si hesitated, expressing her worry, "And who would have thought there’d be this issue, unsure if it will be resolved quickly!"
Leng Mochen let out a silent laugh. No wonder her agenda was so tight this time.
"Don’t worry about that. If North City doesn’t work out, we can relocate the factory to the outskirts of Beijing. I actually prepared a place there long ago. Initially, it was meant for production facilities; now it seems relocation is also viable!"
Li Si patted her cheeks, couldn’t help but laugh, "I realized no one can take advantage of you! It seems Brother Wu was right – you’re quite the shrewd one!"
She never involved herself in Mo Si’s affairs, so she didn’t know what he had done.
When she first heard, she was somewhat worried, but it turned out he had already prepared a contingency. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
