Chapter 229: Let’s Have Them Marry Sooner (Part 3/3)

“There are no shortcuts to this. The key is to practice diligently! Of course, the reason I can make such dishes is also because of my constant exploration. I have taught you two dishes, and I hope that next time we meet, you can bring me a surprise!” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Don’t worry! I will definitely not let you down! I will practice diligently!” Bai Dapeng made a solemn promise quickly.

“That’s good!” Tang Feng turned around to leave.

“Master Tang, it’s so late, let me take you back,” Bai Dapeng offered proactively.

“No need,” Tang Feng waved his hand, saying, “I just taught you how to cook, you should strike while the iron is hot and try to make the dishes.”

“In that case, I won’t send you off! Mr. Chai has already given the heads up, this meal is on him, you can just leave,” Bai Dapeng said.

“Please tell Mr. Chai for me, if next time I come to your hotel to eat and you still refuse to charge me, I will never come again!” Tang Feng said this and left.

Bai Dapeng watched his back, shaking his head involuntarily.

Soon, Tang Feng passed by the hotel front desk.

“Master Tang, why are you alone?” The receptionist seemed surprised.

“I let my family go first,” Tang Feng answered.

“Did you come by car?” the receptionist continued to ask.

“No,” Tang Feng shook his head, saying, “I plan to take a taxi back.”

“There’s no need for a taxi! If you don’t mind, I can take you back,” the receptionist quickly offered.

“No need! I can go back by myself!” Tang Feng quickly refused.

Seeing him say so, the receptionist naturally did not insist.

Then, Tang Feng took a taxi and returned home.

Seeing him come in, Tang Long and others who were chatting stopped.

Tang Feng greeted them and then sat down on the sofa.

“Little Feng, what time are you guys leaving tomorrow morning?” Tang Feng’s Mother asked.

“Seven in the morning. That way, by the time we get to Daocheng District, it should be around nine,” Tang Feng answered.

“Then I’ll get up early to make you breakfast,” Tang Feng’s Mother said.

“No need to get up too early. We can’t eat much in the morning,” Tang Feng said.

“Since we have to get up early tomorrow, you guys should go to sleep soon,” Tang Long urged.

“Aren’t you sleeping?” Tang Feng asked.

“I’ll chat with your Uncle Su for a while,” Tang Long answered.

Tang Feng checked the time; it was already half past ten at night.

He nodded and went to their respective rooms already arranged for them.

Tang Long and others chatted for a while and then went to their rooms.

Soon, the night passed.

When Tang Feng woke up in the morning, his mother was almost done busying herself in the kitchen.

“Hurry up and wash up! Get ready for breakfast!” Tang Feng’s Mother shouted.

By the time they sat down at the dining table, Tang Feng’s Mother had already brought out steaming hot dumplings.

Dumplings for the road, noodles for the return.

This is a local custom.

“Little Feng, how are you guys getting back to Daocheng District?” Su Gang asked.

“I’ll call the driver to come pick us up,” Tang Feng answered.

“Driver? You have a personal driver now?” Su Gang seemed surprised.

“No!” Tang Feng shook his head, saying, “The driver was sent by President Lin of Huafang Company.”

“I thought you had a personal driver now. But with your current status, it really could be arranged,” Su Gang suggested.

“Let’s talk about it when we get back,” Tang Feng said.

After eating, Tang Feng bid farewell to his parents and others, then left Binjiang District with Su Xiaoli!

Tang Long and others watched the car gradually disappear, their eyes filled with a melancholy look.

Clearly, they were reluctant to see the children go.

After all, they had always been there as the children grew up.

Now, the children had gone to the capital for studies and work, making it quite difficult to even see each other.

“Brother Tang, last night I was thinking of talking to Xiaoli about whether to let them get married sooner. Since you’re already living together, it’s not really proper not to be officially married. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to say it,” Su Gang said.

“Xiaoli is already of legal age to marry, but my Little Feng is not yet. We have to wait another two years,” Tang Long responded.

“If it really comes down to it, just pay a fine. Otherwise, constantly dragging it out, I worry about complications arising,” Su Gang said, his brows already furrowing.

“Brother Su! From what you’re saying, do you not trust my Little Feng?” Tang Feng’s Mother asked.

“Sister-in-law! Don’t get me wrong! That’s not what I mean! I just feel that the two of them being together all the time, over time, might start to feel fed up. By then, without the bond of children, maybe…” Su Gang said, unable to help but sigh.

“Brother Su, I understand what you mean! But you don’t need to worry too much! Whether it’s Little Feng or Xiaoli, they definitely won’t do that. Especially my Little Feng, we, his parents, have talked to him several times, telling him to be cautious before making things official with Xiaoli. But he keeps promising that he will marry no one but Xiaoli in this lifetime! Honestly, I’ve never seen him like this,” Tang Long said a lot in one breath.

“Anyway, no matter what, we parents definitely hope they can be together,” Su Gang said.

He only has this one daughter! And he raised her all by himself!

He absolutely won’t allow anyone to bully his daughter!

Not even Tang Feng!

“Don’t worry! There won’t be any problems! Besides, look at Little Feng and Xiaoli, they’re always so busy. Even if you wanted them to have other thoughts, I guess they wouldn’t have the time,” Tang Feng’s Mother laughed.

“That’s true,” Su Gang nodded, saying, “Little Feng’s mind is almost entirely on his career.”

“They’re so young now; they really should focus on their careers. Otherwise, as they get older, many things will become more challenging to accomplish. Especially once they have children, a lot of their energy will be taken away by the children,” Tang Long said.

“The main thing is that Little Feng is too capable! From his university days to now, he has indeed achieved quite a bit. If he continues like this, no one knows what he’ll end up becoming,” Su Gang said.

“We won’t worry about him! We’ll just do our own thing and not cause them any trouble. That’s already quite good,” Tang Long said.

Su Gang nodded.

Then, he left.

Tang Long and his wife went to the supermarket.

After about two hours’ journey, Tang Feng and his wife appeared in front of Lin Bin.

Lin Bin greeted them enthusiastically to sit down on the sofa.

“Mr. Tang, I have already contacted all the suppliers. About two-thirds of the suppliers said there’s no problem. The other one-third said they can’t do it! After all, this is the eighth generation production line, and it’s not even available overseas,” Lin Bin reported his work.

“Two-thirds is quite good already. According to my previous judgment, at most it would be half,” Tang Feng said indifferently.

“Of course, we still need to carefully select among these two-thirds of suppliers. After all, some components might not be as they claim,” Lin Bin said.

“Which components are currently impossible to produce?” Tang Feng asked.

“I’ve noted them all down here, please take a look,” Lin Bin said, handing over a folder.

Tang Feng opened the folder and browsed through it carefully.

“Is it possible to find suppliers with slightly lower qualifications? You can tell them directly that I’m willing to provide technical support,” Tang Feng asked.

“That should be possible,” Lin Bin nodded, saying, “But it will take some time.”

“Once you’ve made contact, call me. At that time, I will authorize the technology they need. I hope you can get this done within a week. After all, the time left for us is getting shorter and shorter,” Tang Feng looked at him earnestly.

“Mr. Tang, don’t worry! I will definitely hurry,” Lin Bin immediately expressed his stance.

“The factory buildings are already built. I estimate that in half a month, the components needed for the production line can be manufactured! Once assembly is completed, production can begin. In at most two months, the localization of computer monitors can be completed. We will no longer have to look at the faces of those foreign companies,” Tang Feng was full of confidence.

“Mr. Tang, I really admire you! With your own efforts, you can push for the localization of computer monitors. This achievement can be described as unprecedented,” Lin Bin said, unable to help but give a thumbs up.

Tang Feng chuckled, saying, “You flatter me! I just want to contribute my own modest effort to the computer industry of our country.”

“It won’t be long before our domestic computer brands can be sold all over the world. By then, we will definitely earn a large amount of foreign exchange,” Lin Bin’s eyes were full of expectation.

“The panels produced by Huafang Company can also be exported,” Tang Feng smiled.

“Ah?” Lin Bin was clearly stunned.

“Some countries or regions will definitely take some restrictive measures. They might even impose high tariffs on our domestic computers. For these countries and regions, we can adopt the method of exporting components to continue making money,” Tang Feng answered.

“But in that case, I’m worried the profit might decrease,” Lin Bin was a bit concerned.

“Not necessarily,” Tang Feng shook his head, saying, “By then, we can raise the price of these components! Of course, they can also refuse to purchase these components. The consequence is that they can only use outdated products.”

“Mr. Tang, hearing you say this, I feel passionate! I feel like I’ve taken on a heavy responsibility!” Lin Bin said.

“Alright! Between us, there’s no need for such talk! Hurry up and get this done!” Tang Feng finished speaking and stood up.

“Mr. Tang, you’re not leaving again, are you? No matter what, have a meal before you go!” Seeing this, Lin Bin quickly stopped him.

“President Lin, for us, eating is a minor matter. Right now, we still have so much work to do, let’s not waste time on unnecessary things! Once the eighth generation production line is successfully launched, we can celebrate then,” Tang Feng looked at him earnestly.

“Mr. Tang, you’re right!” Lin Bin nodded, saying, “In that case, I won’t keep you! I’ll have someone take you to the airport!”

Then, Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli bid farewell to him and took a car to the airport.

At the airport, the staff, seeing Tang Feng, naturally appeared very enthusiastic.

The two boarded the plane smoothly.

Tang Feng called Guo Wei to pick him up at the airport.

After about three hours’ flight, they arrived smoothly at the Beijing airport.

Guo Wei was already waiting for them at the exit!

“Mr. Tang!” Guo Wei greeted him.

“Let’s talk in the car!”

Once Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli were settled, Guo Wei started the car!
