Rebirth of Bloody Romance

A small garment factory has quietly emerged on the outskirts of Beijing. It used to be a quiet place, but now it is full of life and vitality.

This garment factory was co-founded by Li Hongmei and Zhang Li, who used their wisdom and courage to ignite the fire of hope for the township economy.

This garment factory is not just a simple production site, but also a place where dreams are nurtured. Here, rural women have realized the improvement of their self-worth through their own efforts and struggles. They are no longer confined to traditional rural life, but bravely step out of their homes and plunge into the wave of entrepreneurship.

As the founders of the garment factory, Li Hongmei and Zhang Li faced numerous difficulties and challenges. However, they were not defeated. Instead, they moved towards success step by step with their perseverance and determination. They firmly believed that as long as they worked hard, they would be able to create a better future.

In this garment factory, everyone is silently contributing. They carefully cut each piece of cloth and sew each garment. These efforts not only make the garment factory's business better and better, but also make their lives more fulfilling and beautiful.

The development of the garment factory was not smooth sailing. At first, due to limited funds and simple equipment, Li Hongmei and Zhang Li could only do most of the work with their own hands. But they were not discouraged and always maintained an optimistic and positive attitude, believing that their abilities and efforts would eventually be rewarded.

As time went on, the garment factory gradually expanded and attracted more villagers, most of whom were women, who were eager to earn income through their own labor.

Under their leadership, women in the village joined the garment factory one after another, receiving their wages on time every month with happy smiles on their faces.

This not only solved the employment problem in the village, but also brought stable economic income to the entire village. Today, almost everyone in the village knows the names of Li Hongmei and Zhang Li. Their voice even surpasses that of the brigade secretary, and they have become the "leaders" in the hearts of the villagers.

At the beginning, faced with the unknowns and challenges of the market, Li Hongmei and Zhang Li relied on their unyielding spirit and found a place for themselves in Zhong Yuemin's huge bulk cargo channel.

Despite the small scale and long distance, they never backed down. Every trip from the suburbs to the city was a testament to their persistence and pursuit of their dreams, and the brand new banknotes were the best proof of their hard work.

"Brother, count it, this is all earned." Zhang Li gently placed a heavy stack of banknotes on the table. The thickness of the banknotes seemed to be a testimony to their hard work, and her eyes were shining with pride and joy that could not be concealed. She hoped that Zhong Yuemin could share this joy, and she hoped that Zhong Yuemin could recognize their efforts.

However, Zhong Yuemin waved his hand nonchalantly, and his gesture seemed to reveal a kind of detached and carefree attitude.

"If you need money, take my share back. There's a term in business called 'expand production and reinvest.' If you divide up the profits you make, your business will never grow. We have to continue buying equipment, expand our scale, and take a long-term view."

Zhong Yuemin's words are full of plans and expectations for the future. Obviously, in his eyes, this money is just a stepping stone to realize bigger dreams.

Zhang Li heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but was soon replaced by determination. She gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind. "Then I won't share my money, and I will continue to invest. Let's work together to make the garment factory bigger and stronger!" Her voice was soft, but full of power, which was the persistence and pursuit of her dream.

Li Hongmei also followed up and echoed. "Yes, we won't split up either. With a leader like Brother Zhong, what do we have to fear? Let's work hard together and make our way together. One day, we will make our garment factory famous!" Her tone was full of infinite longing and confidence for the future.

Zhong Yuemin looked at the determined eyes of the two and couldn't help laughing. There was both relief and encouragement in that smile. "You guys really impressed me. However, there is also something called 'salary'. Don't you plan to save some hard-earned money for yourself?" His words were a bit teasing, but also revealed his concern and love for the two.

Zhang Li was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then smiled a little embarrassedly. "Brother, look at us, we were so happy that we even forgot about this. But we have already received our share for free, how can we get another salary? Isn't this bad?"

Li Hongmei also nodded in agreement. "That's right, brother. Aren't you making it impossible for the two of us to live like human beings? If the villagers knew about this, they would definitely stab us in the back!"

There was a hint of anxiety and worry in Li Hongmei's tone, and she obviously cared about what others thought.

"Each of you get 80 yuan a month!" Zhong Yuemin sat on a chair with his legs crossed, looking at the two women in front of him leisurely, then took a sip of tea. "You need to eat and drink, right? You need to buy clothes, right? And do you want to make friends?" His voice was teasing, but his eyes flashed with a shrewd light.

Zhong Yuemin looked at the wrinkled clothes on Li Hongmei and Zhang Li again, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile. "You are bosses now, so go buy some nice clothes and dress like bosses." His words were full of expectations and encouragement for them.

Li Hongmei and Zhang Li looked at each other with a hint of doubt in their eyes. They looked down at their clothes and suddenly understood the deep meaning of Zhong Yuemin's words. It turned out that he disliked their clothes because they were too rustic and not boss-like enough. The two of them couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and their cheeks blushed slightly.

However, Li Hongmei and Zhang Li did not get angry or frustrated. Instead, they immediately realized the problem and decided to take action. The two quickly stood up and ran to the mirror to look at themselves carefully.

Then, without hesitation, they picked up the towel, washed their faces hastily, and went out to buy new clothes regardless of the hot weather.

They understand that as small business owners, image is very important. Not only must they be able to run a business, but they must also show a confident and professional image. So, they are determined to change their dressing style to better fit this role.

Zhong Yuemin watched them busy and nodded secretly. He knew that although these two women came from poor families, they had a strong desire to improve themselves. He believed that after this change, they would become more confident and mature, and more likely to achieve greater success in the future.

The sun shines through the old alleys of the capital, giving the blue bricks and grey tiles a gentle golden glow.

Li Hongmei and Zhang Li, two beauties, dressed in newly bought clothes, like ladies from old times, stood in front of Zhong Yuemin again with a hint of shyness and expectation.

Although the clothes still had a bit of rustic flavor in Zhong Yuemin's eyes, they were extremely fashionable in the eyes of others, setting off their youthful faces and making them look even more beautiful.

"Brother, do you think this is okay for us?" Li Hongmei whispered softly, with a questioning light in her eyes. Zhang Li was standing aside, twisting the corner of her clothes with her fingers, looking a little nervous.

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly, his eyes showing both approval and some subtle complex emotions. "Well, it's good. You look good in anything you wear."

"Brother, it's nothing. We two are about to go back." Zhang Li said goodbye to Zhong Yuemin with a smile.

Zhong Yuemin saw the two women off. As soon as he stepped out of the door, his eyes were attracted by the donkey parked at the door. He looked at this unique means of transportation curiously, then turned to ask the two young men squatting on the doorstep: "Is this how you rode here?"

The two young men looked to be in their 20s. They were wearing large white shirts, sweating profusely, and the shirts were tightly attached to their bodies. One of the young men seemed to be hostile to Zhong Yuemin, but the other young man replied in a friendly manner, "Yes, it took us more than four hours to get here."

The young man who was hostile to Zhong Yuemin was rude to Zhong Yuemin. "Aren't you talking nonsense? If you don't ride over here, can you grow wings and fly over here?"

Zhong Yuemin smiled when he heard the young man's provocation, as if he had encountered a long-lost fun. He looked at the other party with interest and teased, "Hey... kid, you are talking so harshly? How long has it been since someone talked to me like this? My old bones are almost rusty."

The young man was stunned, as if he had not expected Zhong Yuemin to respond in this way. He widened his eyes and was a little overwhelmed. However, he did not back down, but straightened his back and prepared to continue to refute.

At this moment, Zhang Li interrupted their conversation tactfully. She stepped forward and said to Zhong Yuemin, "Brother, he is still young and naive. Don't argue with him." After that, she gently tugged at the young man's sleeve, signaling him not to speak anymore.

The young man glanced at Zhang Li, then at Zhong Yuemin, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, but he still kept his mouth shut. He knew that his attitude just now might be a bit excessive, but he was not willing to show weakness easily.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but laugh heartily and waved his hands to indicate that it was not necessary to care. "I'm not that petty! But speaking of it, it's not easy for you to ride this 'reverse donkey' in the middle of the day. Why don't you come into the house to drink some water and wait until the weather is cooler before leaving?" His tone revealed sincere concern.

The two young men looked at each other, obviously a little surprised by Zhong Yuemin's invitation. However, Li Hongmei shook her head gently. "No, brother, we have to get home before dark. There are still things waiting for us to deal with in the factory." Her voice was soft and firm, full of an unshakable determination.

After hearing this, Zhang Li immediately put on her straw hat and nimbly jumped onto the "donkey-riding" carriage. As the iron sheet of the carriage was extremely hot under the scorching sun, she couldn't help but scream when she touched the iron sheet, and almost burned her hand. "Oh, this iron sheet can be used to fry eggs!" She laughed and joked, trying to defuse the awkward atmosphere.

Zhong Yuemin watched this scene with a hint of smile in his eyes. He knew that although these young people looked rough on the outside, they were actually delicate and tough inside. He nodded and said to the two young men, "Okay, then be careful on the road and pay attention to safety."

As the "reverse donkey ride" slowly started, the figures of Li Hongmei and Zhang Li gradually disappeared. Zhong Yuemin stood there, watching them disappear at the end of the alley, with an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

The sun was still blazing hot at noon, but Zhong Yuemin felt more peaceful and relieved. He turned back to the courtyard, secretly thinking about the future.

Zhong Yuemin had just stepped into the shade of the yard, ready to take a short nap, when the little poem came trotting over like a cheerful wind chime, and its crisp voice broke the tranquility of the afternoon. "Dad, Dad, there's a call for you!"

Zhong Yuemin shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "Damn it, you really make me worry!" But he put on a doting smile on his face and replied, "Okay, I know, girl."

Zhong Yuemin walked to the phone in a daze and picked up the receiver, his voice carrying a hint of sleepiness. "Hello! This is Zhong Yuemin."

"Yuemin, it's me, Li Kuiyong." A long-lost and familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, with a bit of urgency.

"Kui Yong! Why did you think of calling me? Is there something wrong?" Zhong Yuemin's words revealed a bit of surprise and expectation.

"Yuemin, buddy I... want to go back to Beijing. What's the situation over there now? Can I go back?" Li Kuiyong's voice was full of longing and anxiety.

Zhong Yuemin's heart tightened when he heard this, and he asked quickly, "Did something happen at home? What made you so anxious to come back?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then Li Kuiyong's slightly choked voice came. "Yuemin, my wife gave birth to a daughter for me a few years ago. Now she is more than half a year old, and I haven't seen her yet! Do you think I can be calm?"

Zhong Yuemin slapped his forehead and blamed himself. "Oh, how could I forget about this! Kui Yong, you should come back quickly. The wind has changed now. Nothing can stop you from returning home."

"Really? That's great! Then I'll leave tomorrow, no, today! I have to go back to see my baby girl!" Li Kuiyong's voice was full of excitement and anticipation, as if he had already seen his daughter's childish smile.

After hanging up the phone with Li Kuiyong, Zhong Yuemin's spirit was completely awakened. He was full of anticipation for his old friend's return, and he also began to think about other matters. Thinking of Liu Lianxiang, he felt that Li Wenbo was a very suitable candidate, so he decided to contact him immediately.

Picking up the phone, Zhong Yuemin skillfully dialed Li Wenbo's number, and heard the beep sound of the call being connected.

"Hello! Who are you looking for?" A polite and professional voice sounded from the other end of the line.

"I'm Zhong Yuemin, looking for Li Wenbo." Zhong Yuemin directly stated his name and purpose.

"Mr. Zhong, please wait a moment." The operator's voice was still polite, followed by a short wait.

Soon, Li Wenbo's familiar and steady voice came from the phone. "Mr. Zhong, you are looking for me."

"Well, why don't you come to Beijing? There is a very promising project here. I think it's worth investing in."

Li Wenbo immediately became interested when he heard this. "Okay, Mr. Zhong, I will arrange the itinerary as soon as possible and rush over as quickly as possible."

"Okay, let's discuss the details when we meet."
