After leaving the Li family and until returning to the hotel, Fu Ziyan's expression remained the same, with only a faint smile on her face, which was consistent with her personality of having a good time chatting with new friends.

Fu Ziyan always remembered to be cautious in her actions. She couldn't let her mood swings ruin the Li family's future.

But after returning to my room and talking to my dad on the phone, I stopped suppressing my emotions. Isn’t it normal to feel good when talking to family members?

Fu Ziyan excitedly shared her itinerary with her father, then exclaimed, "Li Zitao seems like a very interesting person. I think my trip to the capital will be extremely fulfilling and enjoyable!"

"His mother, Aunt Zhang, was also very gentle. I even got to eat malt sugar!"

Fu Qiyuan was so smart that he naturally understood the meaning behind his daughter's sharing of her schedule, but he suppressed his emotions and spoke gently, as if nothing else. "No matter how delicious the maltose is, eat less of it. Be careful not to damage your teeth, or you'll cry."

Fu Ziyan pouted and protested, "I don't have rotten teeth!"

She is very proud of herself. She will never do that in her life. It doesn’t matter how much candy she eats. She has the “healthy, white and strong teeth” halo of the APP~

Fu Qiyuan chuckled and coaxed his daughter helplessly, "Okay, okay, our Ti Ti won't have bad teeth. It's getting late, Ti Ti should wash up and go to bed early."

"Goodnight, Dad. We'll talk tomorrow night."

After ending the call with his daughter, Fu Qiyuan flipped through the documents, intending to see which of his businesses was suitable for doing business with the mainland and worth his special trip to discuss cooperation with the Commerce Bureau.

But in the end, Fu Qiyuan suppressed his emotions and didn't rush to the mainland. Since he hadn't seen his elder brother for many years, he didn't need a little time. The more anxious he was, the more vulnerable he would be.

He was in no hurry to tell Fu Mingzhang about this. The old man was old, so it would be better to wait until the matter was confirmed before telling him, so as not to let his body suffer from the extreme joy and sorrow.

Fu Ziyan didn't know what her father was thinking. After sharing the joy of the high probability of finding her uncle with her father, she excitedly devoted her attention to the trip to the capital.

Li Zitao is indeed a good at having fun, and so are his friends.

For the next few days, Fu Ziyan's itinerary was packed. From the essentials of a trip to the capital, such as climbing the Great Wall and visiting the Forbidden City, to the hutong snacks only experienced locals know, she had a complete and comprehensive itinerary for dining, drinking, and entertainment.

The Forbidden City is a place Fu Ziyan had visited in her previous life. When Fu Ziyan visited in her previous life, most of the palaces were not allowed to be entered, but there was no such rule in this life.

But Fu Ziyan still refused to go in to visit.

The reason is simple: the Forbidden City has not been carefully maintained, and many palaces are very eerie, and Fu Ziyan is afraid of seeing ghosts.

In her previous life, she was a good young woman who believed in Marxist materialism, science, and the existence of ghosts and gods. But who could have prevented her from actually living another life?

She has memories of her past life, so it's hard to say that there are really no ghosts in this world.

Fu Ziyan was afraid, and Lu Yan listened to his girlfriend, so naturally, other people would not insist on going in.

I had originally come to the Forbidden City with Fu Ziyan. Otherwise, how could they, who had grown up in the capital, have the leisure to visit the Forbidden City again? It was a square place, nothing much to see.

Li Zitao was not surprised by Fu Ziyan's resistance. He said with a smile, "It's dark and eerie in there. It's normal for girls to be scared. Not to mention Ayan, even Da Meng is terrified!"

As the few of them became familiar with each other while playing, Li Zitao took the lead in calling Fu Ziyan "Ayan".

Fu Ziyan was a little helpless about this, but because these harmless little nicknames made them more familiar with each other, she did not refuse.

The "Big Meng" mentioned by Li Zitao refers to Meng Liming, a member of his group of friends, also a yamen official, whose father is the current mayor of the capital.

When Meng Limin heard Li Zitao's words, he immediately retorted unhappily, "Nonsense! I wasn't afraid at all. I was just trying to stay clean and not get into trouble. Look at Ayan, she's so smart. She's definitely one of my kind."

You immediately get looked down upon by others, yet you still keep yourself clean?

Meng Liming turned a blind eye, with a cocky expression on his face that said, "I'm smart, and you fools don't understand."

In addition to Meng Liming, there are three men and two women in this play group. They all have similar identities as yamen (officials in the government). Their fathers are either in the military or in politics. They have good family backgrounds and are worthy of Fu Ziyan's friendship.

Fu Ziyan knew that once mainland China's policies opened up in a few years, she would definitely go there to seize the opportunity and get a piece of the action. By then, her fellow travelers would also begin to flourish in various fields, so it would be a good idea to build good relationships with them.

Although they were equally young at that time and may not have yet taken root in their respective fields, they were always able to help each other. What was more important was the connections behind them.

Lu Yan had similar thoughts.

Of course, he didn't have the rebirth cheat, and didn't know when Hong Kong would return, but he had been educated since childhood, and making friends was a subconscious behavior ingrained in him, especially making friends with the second generation of China's political and military circles.

This principle is not only understood by Fu Ziyan and Lu Yan, but also by the other members of the "play group".

Compared to the mutual benefit in the future that Fu Ziyan expected, what was right before her eyes was that she helped to introduce equipment to the capital's first textile factory.

The matchmaker was Xue You, a friend in the "play group" whose family background was in politics. Her elder brother Xue Yi was the deputy director of the Capital's No. 1 Textile Factory.

The deputy factory director, who was in his thirties at the time, was considered one of the top young talents in the entire Kyoto. If a deputy factory director of this age was to develop into the Ministry of Finance, Fu Ziyan was happy to give him face in advance and also take this opportunity to show her goodwill to the senior officials in the mainland.

As a large textile manufacturer, there are naturally ways to introduce equipment, but the risk of being cheated is also quite high. However, it is different with an acquaintance like Fu Ziyan acting as a go-between.

You know, behind Fu Ziyan is Fu Qiyuan!

Fu Qiyuan became famous in one battle on Wall Street and has not fallen from the altar to this day; he also has investments all over Europe and the United States. No equipment manufacturer would be willing to offend Fu Qiyuan, a "ruthless man". A sudden drop in stock price or cutting off of cooperation is no joke.

In addition, Mr. Yu, a relative of the Fu family, is known as the "Textile King" and his textile factories have cooperated with multiple equipment companies.

So, if Fu Ziyan wants to make a connection, it’s really not too easy. She just needs to tell her cousin Yu Minhong.

With Fu Ziyan's help, the introduction of equipment to the textile factory was quickly negotiated in just five days, and they only had to wait for someone from the other side to sign the contract and deliver the equipment.

Inside the reception room of the textile factory.

Xue Yi thanked with a smile and poured tea himself, "Thank you very much for your help this time, Miss Fu." The introduction of the equipment was led by him, and the subsequent credit will also fall on him, which will help with future promotions. No matter what, Xue Yi has to accept this favor.

"Director Xue, you're too polite. It's just a small favor." Fu Ziyan smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then praised the "good tea".

Although she looked like a tea lover, Fu Ziyan was not really good at tasting tea. However, the taste of this cup of tea was basically the same as a cup she had drunk in the old house.

Grandpa drinks good tea...

Xue Yi smiled and said, "Miss Fu and my younger sister are good friends, and we are of similar age. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Xue in private."

He could clearly see that while the higher-ups were still somewhat sensitive about associating with Hong Kong businessmen, it was better than it had been in the previous two years. Furthermore, Fu Ziyan was Fu Qiyuan's only daughter. Not to mention the generous donations Fu Qiyuan had made during the famine, he had also helped transport supplies in recent years, and the higher-ups had always had a good impression of him.

Fu Ziyan understood that Xue Yi was doing her a favor and also wanted to make friends with her. She followed his words and changed her words, "Brother Xue and Sister Xue You are the same. Just call me Ayan or Ziyan."

Xue Yi nodded, and the two chatted briefly about Fu Ziyan's travel experience in the capital, and then Fu Ziyan said goodbye.

Miss Fu is super busy!

They were busy playing and eating everywhere, but today was not one of them. Tonight was Li Zitao's birthday, and he had invited them to his house for a small gathering. Fu Ziyan planned to take this opportunity to look through Li Zitao's photo album.

Whether Li Quyi is Fu Qihuai will be verified tonight!

Success or failure depends on this one move. Fu Ziyan is a little nervous. If it’s not the one, she will have to look for it again.
