At the seaside warehouse, Liu Yong has already arrived with Chen Hu and gave orders to open the gates in preparation for Chairman Zhou's arrival.

Chen Hu promptly opened all the gates, allowing Zhou Zhengming's car to drive into the vast warehouse, which appeared empty except for two machine tools positioned in the open space at the center.

Liu Yong inspected the two machines satisfactorily, knowing that they were worth 10 million yuan and that Zhou Zhengming would bring the cash check later.

The machines had been sitting there for several days, with their packaging initially damp but now dry and completely intact.

After a while, three vehicles arrived at the warehouse: a black car followed by two trucks, one of which was small.

Chen Hu directed the vehicles into the warehouse, and Zhou Zhengming couldn't hide his excitement upon seeing the two machine tools he had been eagerly awaiting.

He marveled at the efficiency of Universal, as this was the only company that dared to accept the order due to the exorbitant shipping fee.

However, Global Company received the order and shipped the machines back within a week, which was truly impressive.

Upon stepping out of the car, Zhou Zhengming gazed at the two machine tools excitedly, almost as if he was dreaming.

His company urgently needed these high-precision CNC machining centers, and just when things were looking bleak, Liu Yong informed him that the machines had been shipped back.

Zhou Zhengming walked up to Liu Yong and shook his hand tightly, his voice trembling slightly as he expressed his gratitude.

"Mr. Liu, thank you, thank you very much," Zhou Zhengming said, his eyes shining with appreciation.

Liu Yong smiled modestly and replied,

"It's a trivial matter. Take a look at the machine tools, and then you can transport them away."

"Okay, okay, let's take a look at the machine tool first," Zhou Zhengming eagerly agreed.

Zhou Zhengming had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the machines and wasted no time walking toward them with his team.

He scrutinized the devices, his eyes sweeping over them repeatedly as if he could never tire of the sight.

After several minutes of looking around, Zhou Zhengming stopped in front of one of the machine tools and reached out to touch the packing box.

He seemed to have a special connection with the machine tool, feeling like it was not just a piece of equipment but a peerless treasure.

Having spent his entire career in the machinery manufacturing industry, Zhou Zhengming felt about high-end processing equipment the way others thought about a rare treasure.

He looked at the machine tools for several minutes, touched them, and exclaimed happily to Director Deng,

"The high-precision machining center we dreamed of has arrived!"

Deng Hemin could hardly contain his excitement and nodded vigorously, saying,

"Chairman, with these two high-precision processing equipment, the processing capacity of our workshop has increased to a whole new level. The parts that could not be processed before due to lack of precision can now be processed."

They stood there for several minutes, marveling at the two immense treasures.

But Liu Yong looked at the time and realized the day was fading.

He reminded Zhou Zhengming, "Chairman Zhou, you can start shipping."

Zhou Zhengming patted his head lightly and smiled,

"Look at me. I'm so happy. I forgot that Mr. Liu has been waiting by the side."

After finishing his speech, Zhou Zhengming handed the 10 million cash check to Liu Yong and expressed his gratitude again.

"Mr. Liu, thank you so much," he said.

"Mr. Zhou is very polite," replied Liu Yong, taking the check satisfactorily.

He thought the 10 million was a generous amount, and it had required almost no effort on his part.

All he had to do was travel back and forth to RB twice.

10 million! The thought of it was exhilarating.

Zhou Zhengming expressed his thanks once again and then waved his hand, ordering his men to start hoisting the two machine tools onto the big truck.

The entire process went very smoothly, and after the machine tools were loaded onto the car, Zhou Zhengming invited Liu Yong to dinner.

"Mr. Liu, it's time for dinner. I know a good place. Let's have a drink, how about it?"

Liu Yong smiled and declined the offer.

"I'm afraid it won't work today. What about another day?"

"Okay, next time," replied Zhou Zhengming without any fuss.

As a rule, Liu Lan stayed in school from Monday to Thursday and only returned home occasionally, usually on Fridays.

The transportation was quite convenient as there was a subway station at the community entrance where Liu Yong lived. One could easily take the subway to Huahai University in about half an hour.

It was Friday, and Liu Lan had already returned to the villa. She had sent a message on WeChat earlier, stating that she had bought some vegetables and would cook dinner herself.

Liu Yong had declined Zhou Zhengming's invitation for dinner and was on his way home.

The traffic was heavy, and it was already around 8 p.m. when Liu Yong got home.

As he walked in, he could smell the delicious aroma of food.

"Brother, you're back!" Liu Lan greeted him.

"Wow, it smells so good," said Liu Yong.

"I learned a few dishes, come over and have a taste," said Liu Lan, leading him to the dining room.

On the table were several dishes prepared by Liu Lan - sweet and sour pork ribs, braised chicken, braised grouper, and winter melon soup. Liu Yong washed his hands and sat down at the table.

"Well, it looks delicious. I'm using my chopsticks," he said with excitement.

Liu Lan then went to the wine cabinet to get a bottle of red wine, and the siblings enjoyed their dinner together, feeling warm and happy.

"Brother, it would be great if my sister-in-law were here," said Liu Lan.

"Your sister-in-law is thin-skinned, and she probably won't live here until she gets married," replied Liu Yong.

"Of course," said Liu Lan.

After chatting, Liu Yong offered Liu Lan some pocket money.

"I have my eyes on a Hermès bag, but I don't have the money to buy it. Can you give me more this time? How about fifty thousand?"

Liu Yong smiled and agreed to give her the money.

The brother and sister continued to enjoy their time together, feeling content and grateful for each other's company.historical

My younger sister has always wanted to live like a princess, but our family's financial situation never allowed it.

I did my best to provide for our family by saving money and conserving food, but her princess complex remained hidden within her heart.

However, now that she has come into some money, my sister's princess complex has begun to emerge. She has started to wear more fashionable and upscale clothes, shoes, and cosmetics.

She even enrolled in a driving school and planned to take the driver's license test to buy a car and drive to school instead of taking the subway.

Of course, I was aware of my sister's desires, and now that we had some extra money, I decided to indulge her a little. I told her she could live like a princess and buy whatever she wanted with our fifty thousand dollars.

But in reality, I handed her a cash check for ten million dollars and told her she could spend it as she pleased.

My sister was ecstatic with the gift and thanked me with gratitude. She thought the check was for fifty thousand yuan but was stunned when she saw the value.

This generosity made my sister feel like an actual princess, and it brought me joy to see her happy.

Even though our family's financial situation has improved, we never forget where we came from and remain humble and grateful for what we have.
