Not long after Cai Ning also arrived and joined the meal. While Amorette kept talking with Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning, whom she met for the first time.
After knowing the two were high-ranking officials in the police force at such a young age, she was amazed and complimented more.
She even wondered what she was doing in her youth, wasting time, while the two young women and her daughter had pursued their careers to the peak.
Hmm, it appeared she was more successful in love and gave birth to Ling Qingyu, although she married a scum, who betrayed her deep longing and emotion.
She gave everything to him, but he couldn't. She didn't expect the same from him but wanted at least the only sanctuary guarantee.
Amorette recollected herself and happily urged the girls to eat more and not to pay attention to her presence. Yang Qingyue and Cai Ning replied awkwardly, facing the enthusiastic elder.
Fortunately, there were other peers, who came into the conversation. Ling Yunxiang and Zhao Xiurong brought Amorette's attention away.
On the other hand, under the piercing gazes of Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue, Ling Qingyu, who sat beside Yang Qingyue, felt like needles and pins under her butt.
She coughed dryly and focused her head down on the dish while complaining inside—why she feel they already knew her deeds?
She had no idea, her daughter had betrayed her acts. In fact, even without Athena's involvement, Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue could determine what Ling Qingyu and Yang Qingyue did based on the hours spent on the road.
If Ling Qingyu knew, she would burst out in frustration for the unfairness. She swore, she hadn't reached the satisfaction yet at all. And the most complaining factor was her guards who interrupted her good session.
After dinner, when Yang Qingyue decided to leave, Amorette asked the two policewomen to stay for the night. Ling Qingyu flashed her mom, a thumbs-up in her heart.
Mom became her best assistant. Ling Qingyu already pictured scenes unsuitable for children inside her mind.
Unfortunately, although Yang Qingyue was glad to spend time with companions, who didn't care about her identity, she and Cai Ning still had some work to do in her apartment.
Each busy with their work. Yang Qingyue, having brushed away her job for a long time to her childhood friend, must take things personally.
On the other hand, Ling Qingyu's plans were implemented one after another. During a short time frame, many things happened.
First, the negotiation for the corporate takeover of the automobile or heavy-duty manufacturer, Hongqi, led by Zhao Xiurong had brought results. Ling Qingyu met with the CEO, and decided to accept his offer of letting him and the rest of the staff stayed as they were and bought the company.
Now, Hongqi had become Ling Qingyu's belonging. Though the current factory manufactured only trucks and tractors, Ling Qingyu had asked for Athena's help.
The overhaul of the factory was underway, according to the plan from Athena and Tang Ziyi. Ling Qingyu asked the Hongqi CEO to reform and told her plan for commercial automakers of various types of vehicles. Her words and drawing of the big pie elated him and the staff.
The data compiled by Athena and Tang Ziyi were sent out and archived in the Hongqi company's network, where the software had been upgraded to another tier by Athena, a protection against any sort of infringements. It included several car designs and essential variables, including mass production plans for sedans, SUVs, wagons, and luxury versions.
Tang Ziyi and Athena also helped enhance the original trucks' and tractors' design and even produced a newer version. Within a month, the factory could soon resume work and come out as a reputable automaker in the market.
These moves quickly won over the entire Hongqi staff, raising Ling Qingyu's prestige to another level. Ling Qingyu didn't forget Athena to monitor finances and transactions in the factory, a move to spot any corruption.
In fact, Tang Ziyi asked for a position in the factory, a free post without other's interference. Her desire to innovate resonated strongly after seeing many heavy machinery.
Ling Qingyu gave the green light. Anyway, Tang Ziyi was hers and wouldn't let her company suffer. Since she wanted to play, let her do what she wanted.
Ling Qingyu couldn't fathom the reasons and didn't think much. She thought that the basement manufacturing capabilities were higher than the factory's. Why was Tang Ziyi keen to work on-site?
To sell cars on the market relied on mass production capacity. Tang Ziyi had always wanted to sell her military inventions like the MRAPs to the buyers. In order to pursue this goal, she needed to lay out the mass production process and study first.
Although she and Athena already knew the modern world's system, Tang Ziyi believed she could come up with a new system, increasing speed, efficiency, and quality like never seen before.
What Tang Ziyi had in mind, it was impossible for Ling Qingyu to know. However, as a close confidante, Ling Qingyu's intuition told her that Tang Ziyi might bring her many surprises.
