Chapter 767 Sisters' Troubles
"Xiao Li! Xiao Li!"
Meng Lihong rushed in wearing high heels.
Meng Lihong now dresses much more fashionably than before. Her originally neat short hair has long been grown into medium-length hair, and she has also permed it into the latest Hong Kong hairstyle. She wears two big earrings, a floral shirt with a large lapel on her upper body, a thin leather jacket on the outside, a pair of hip-hugging jeans on her lower body, and patent leather high heels on her feet that are so shiny that they can reflect her shadow.
With this look, plus the big red and white sunglasses on her forehead, it would be no problem for her to be mistaken for a Hong Konger if she went out. She is so trendy.
"Stop yelling, I'm here!" Zheng Li was sitting in the garden drinking tea. She had been pregnant for some time . As time went by, her belly grew bigger and she became lazy.
Look, the weather is nice today. Although it is summer, it is neither too cold nor too hot. Zheng Li did not go out in the afternoon. She asked the servants to make some tea for her. She drank tea in the garden and read a book.
I don’t know if she read that stuff from that magazine, but after she became pregnant, Zheng Li became very interested in it. She would carefully study any article about what was good for the baby in her belly, and then try what the article said.
Just like now, pregnant women getting more sun exposure is beneficial to the growth of the fetus. Zheng Li goes out to bask in the sun whenever she has the chance these days. After a few days, she doesn't feel anything else, but she has become a lot darker.
"Why are you sitting outside in such a hot sun? Aren't you hot?" Meng Lihong couldn't help asking as she ran into the garden and saw Zheng Li sitting there drinking tea in the sun.
"It's not hot, I think it's okay." Zheng Li shook her head.
"You're already dark, if you keep going down here you'll turn into an African black man, right? Stop getting in the sun and come into the house." Meng Lihong used her hands as a fan and fanned herself a few times, then pulled Zheng Li up and walked into the house.
Zheng Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only follow her. The two of them entered the house, and as soon as they sat down, Meng Lihong couldn't wait to ask: "Shenghua's stock will be listed today, do you know how much it is?"
"Is it on the market today? I didn't notice it."
"Didn't I tell you a few days ago? How could you forget such an important thing?"
"How can I care about this? Besides, just go public. What's the big deal?" Zheng Li touched her bulging belly and smiled. All her thoughts were on the baby in her belly now, and she didn't care about anything else.
Seeing Zheng Li like this, Meng Lihong shook her head and said, "You are lucky to have found a rich husband. Now you are the young mistress and you are not short of money. You don't have to worry about stocks like me."
"Okay, you sound sour the moment you open your mouth. How about I ask Daqi to introduce you to someone? And let you be the young lady?"
"Come on, your Daqi is so busy that you can't even see her figure all day long, how can she take care of my affairs? Besides, do you think everyone can meet someone like you and your Daqi? I don't know how much incense your Zheng family burned in the previous life to have such a blessing in this life. Forget it, this kind of thing depends on fate. Fate brings people together even if they are thousands of miles apart. As the old saying goes, you can't pray for it."
"Hehe, you are so free and easy." Zheng Li laughed happily, and then suddenly remembered what Meng Lihong said just now, and asked curiously: "By the way, what happened to the stock? Did it go up?"
Meng Lihong's eyebrows instantly danced with joy: "It's gone up, it's gone up a lot!" She immediately talked about Shenghua's stock situation. After she finished, Meng Lihong was very grateful: "I really have to thank you for this. If you hadn't helped me speak up and lent me some money, I wouldn't have made this fortune. Now I am considered a rich man, I have to thank you very much. Just tell me what you want, and I will definitely satisfy you."
"You are still so distant with your own sisters."
"This is not a matter of being polite. I must thank you politely." Meng Lihong said seriously, but Zheng Li kept smiling and said there was no need. Meng Lihong tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly noticed Zheng Li's belly, and immediately had an idea.
Since Zheng Li doesn't care about this, then she can make her own decision. After Zheng Li's child is born, she can buy a set of gold jewelry for the child. This kind of thing is suitable, can maintain its value, and has commemorative significance. This is perfect.
After Zheng Li and Li Daqi got married, they left the original factory. Once Zheng Li left, Meng Lihong did not stay there either.
Originally, the three sisters worked together and entered the factory together. Now Gu Bei followed Boss Cao and became her canary. Zheng Li was lucky to find a big boss as her husband. This luck was unimaginable.
After they left, Meng Lihong felt that it was meaningless to continue staying in the factory, so she resigned and left. After Zheng Li learned about this, she took the initiative to find Meng Lihong and helped her arrange a job in Shenghua.
Meng Lihong's educational level is not low. Although she did not get into college, compared with those working men and women, her high school education is already considered high. Moreover, she is a friend of the boss's wife, so naturally she was assigned a good job. She entered the office as an administrator. Over the past year, Meng Lihong's work ability has been recognized by her superiors and she has been promoted to supervisor.
This time when Shenghua went public, Meng Lihong, as a grassroots supervisor, naturally also had the right to subscribe, especially because of her relationship with Zheng Li. Zheng Li specifically gave Meng Lihong a subscription ratio equivalent to that of a middle-level manager in Shenghua factory. At the same time, she privately told her that this subscription for shares was a good opportunity, and if possible, she could ask colleagues in the factory who gave up the subscription to take over the subscription ratio of shares in their hands.
Out of trust in Zheng Li, Meng Lihong listened to the instructions and not only subscribed for her proportion in full, but also took the part that others gave up subscribing.
In this way, the actual amount subscribed by Meng Lihong was not small. Due to the large amount, Meng Lihong did not have that much money. Zheng Li privately helped Meng Lihong to lend money, which allowed Meng Lihong to pay the full amount.
Now the stock price has doubled as soon as it was listed, which makes Meng Lihong very excited. In just a few days, Meng Lihong has earned nearly 60,000 yuan, which is simply unimaginable.
The stock was listed today, and Meng Lihong had been paying close attention to this matter. As soon as the market closed, Meng Lihong rushed to Zheng Li to report this great news.
Meng Lihong finished her speech with great excitement and gestures. She was happy but also a little regretful. Her regret was not that she didn't buy more stocks, because she was able to buy so many stocks with the help of Zheng Li, otherwise how could she, a mere administrative supervisor, get so many?
The regret is that the stocks I have now cannot be converted into cash immediately. According to the regulations there, these stocks can only be traded on the stock market after 12 months. So now I can only keep them temporarily and sell them after the ban is lifted.
In this era when a millionaire is still a rarity, Meng Lihong never thought that she could actually make so much money. Until now, it all seems like a dream.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You're not short of money now. 12 months is just one year. You can sell it by this time next year." Zheng Li couldn't help laughing at her regretful expression and said, "Besides, Shenghua's stock may continue to rise. Daqi told me that there's no need to sell it so quickly. Maybe the stock price will rise a lot next year. By then, it won't be just 60,000. It may rise to 100,000 or even more."
"Really?" Hearing this, Meng Lihong's eyes lit up.
"We'll just have to wait and see whether it's true or not. By the way, don't tell anyone else about this. It's a secret."
Meng Lihong raised her left hand and swore that she would never tell anyone. Besides, we have been good friends for so many years, so why doesn't she believe me? She kept her mouth shut.
The two sisters were chatting and laughing. Zheng Li suddenly asked about Gu Bei. Since she got married and left Boss Cao's factory, she has only met Gu Bei twice in such a long time. One was shortly after they got married, and the other was when she just got pregnant. Gu Bei and Meng Lihong came to congratulate her together.
"She..." Meng Lihong shook her head and sighed.
"What? Boss Cao treats her badly?" Zheng Li asked, frowning.
Although Gu Bei has various flaws in her character, especially vanity and petty thoughts, they are good friends who grew up together. After hearing that Zheng Li and Li Daqi were married, especially after learning about Li Daqi's true identity, Gu Bei has rarely interacted with Zheng Li. Perhaps it was because of Gu Bei's petty thoughts. She and Zheng Li were the same age, and Zheng Li married a big boss, but Gu Bei? She followed Boss Cao as a lover, without a name or status, so she naturally felt a little uncomfortable.
"Not really. Lao Cao treats her well. And don't forget who Lao Cao relies on for his livelihood. With you here, Lao Cao wouldn't dare to treat Gu Bei badly even if he had the guts. Otherwise, would you have spared him?"
Meng Lihong's words were true. Boss Cao's factory was a supporting factory for Shenghua, and Shenghua was Boss Cao's bread and butter. If it was just Gu Bei, Boss Cao wouldn't care much, but the key issue was that there was also Zheng Li.
Now Zheng Li is Mrs. Li, and Li Daqi is the major shareholder of Shenghua and the boss of Shenghua Telecom. Although the position of president of Pengcheng Shenghua has been handed over to someone else, he can actually still be the boss of Pengcheng Shenghua.
Boss Cao is a smart man. He hooked up with Gu Bei in order to use this relationship to get in touch with Zheng Li and Li Daqi. So how could he possibly fall out with Gu Bei? Although Gu Bei and Zheng Li have less contact now, they are still friends. If Boss Cao treats Gu Bei badly, Gu Bei will come to Zheng Li to cry and Zheng Li will go to Li Daqi to say so. How can Boss Cao get away with it?
"What's the reason?" Zheng Li couldn't help but ask.
"She regretted it, what else can she do?" Meng Lihong said, "Besides, she is now with Lao Cao without any status, and seeing you marry so well, she feels disappointed. But it's normal. Think about how long it has been since you last saw her. She is too embarrassed to come to see you. Gu Bei reminded her at the beginning, but she just wouldn't listen. Now, she is in such a state of being neither here nor there, and she has suffered enough."
"What is Lao Cao's attitude now?" Zheng Li knew that Meng Lihong and Gu Bei often interacted with each other, so she asked again.
"Lao Cao does want to divorce and marry Gu Bei, but what's the point? He has a wife and children in Hong Kong. I heard that his wife is very capable. It's not that easy to divorce..."
Zheng Li couldn't help but shake her head secretly when she heard this. It was all Gu Bei's own fault, but as a friend she couldn't help but feel sorry for Gu Bei. After thinking about it, she told Meng Lihong to find time to bring Gu Bei over so that she could have a good talk with her and see what she was thinking. After all, they were friends and they should help each other.
