Chapter 804

Sunday, early morning, Li Ye's biological clock woke him up on time, but he discovered that Watching Wen Leyu was already gone.

And after he called out a few times, he didn't get a response.

Li Ye was a bit strange, because Watching Wen Leyu had been especially tired from taking care of the children these past few months, so she would usually sleep in in the mornings.

Li Ye was already used to gently moving Watching Wen Leyu's arm that was hugging him after waking up, so he felt a bit unaccustomed to finding the space beside him empty.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu?"

Li Ye hurriedly raised his voice to call out while getting out of bed.

Then he heard the bathroom door outside ring once, and Watching Wen Leyu's footsteps came running back.

"What are you shouting for? I'm a living person, are you afraid I'll be stolen away?"

As soon as Watching Wen Leyu entered the room, she complained to Li Ye in a huff, making Li Ye feel very awkward.

Looking at Watching Wen Leyu's hair, which was soaking wet, it was clear she had just been taking a bath. The bedroom and bathroom of the Sihe Academy were separate, so Li Ye hadn't noticed just now.

But it was early in the morning, and Li Ye was in a restricted period and hadn't been messing around, so why was Watching Wen Leyu taking a bath?

While wiping her hair, Watching Wen Leyu said to Li Ye, "Since you're up, go to the kitchen and help out; don't just wait around to eat ready-made food all day."

"When have I ever waited to eat ready-made food?"

Li Ye defended himself with a grievance and walked out of the bedroom to the kitchen to help Han Chunmei and Li Juan cook, but only after leaving his room did he realize something was wrong.

【The children aren't crying or making a fuss, so you sent me to the kitchen, then what are you doing?】

It is true that Watching Wen Leyu has been sleeping in these days, but when she gets up at noon or in the evening, she doesn't let Li Ye cook, insisting on being a virtuous wife and mother herself.

So what's going on today?

Li Ye helped Han Chunmei and Li Juan finish breakfast, woke up Li Ying, who was also sleeping in, to eat, and then went to call Watching Wen Leyu, only to find his little wife opening the wardrobe, fiddling with one set after another, choosing what clothes to wear today.

Li Ye realized, "Are you going out today? No wonder you got up early in the morning to doll yourself up!"

"Who are you calling dolled up?"

Watching Wen Leyu turned around suddenly like an agile big cat, staring at Li Ye with wide eyes, as if she were about to let out an "Awoo" roar and jump up to scratch someone the next moment.

Li Ye hurriedly said, "I said it wrong, I said it wrong. Actually, Xiaoyu, you are beautiful no matter what, so putting in extra effort for the sake of 'beauty' is redundant."

"Hmph~"

Watching Wen Leyu glared at Li Ye a few times and turned her head to pick clothes again. After she changed into two sets, Li Ye finally understood why his little wife, who used to be casual about dressing, was suddenly so conflicted today.

His little wife had become much plumper than before, with a curvy figure, so most of the clothes she liked before now seemed a bit inappropriate when worn.

Because these clothes were custom-made, unlike ordinary store-bought clothes that have "size allowance," many parts were precisely tailored to Watching Wen Leyu's original figure; a difference of an inch more or less would have an effect.

The waist could still pass, and the chest could be squeezed in, but Watching Wen Leyu's little bottom was really much bigger and perkier than before, stretching the clothes round and tight; looking at it for a few more eyes made people feel it was indecent.

Hmm, it's comparable to those AI-refined edge-ball streamers in later generations.

【This little figure has finally grown into the way I like it best.】

Li Ye couldn't help but reach out to pat it, but Watching Wen Leyu dodged it with a divine prediction.

"What are you doing? If someone sees, I'll chop off your claws!"

"Let who see? This is my house, we are legal."

Li Ye was very aggrieved. Since Watching Wen Leyu became pregnant until now, he had already achieved the "Four Hundred Days of Calmness" achievement medal. If he had this kind of perseverance in his previous life, he wouldn't have worked so hard to save a little money only to have it easily snatched away by others.

Watching Wen Leyu glanced at Li Ye with slanted eyes, and then said, "We have guests coming to the house today, you pay attention to yourself; don't look where you shouldn't look." Li Ye was stunned: "Who is coming?"

Watching Wen Leyu said lightly, "That Aunt Liu of yours! She said when she was at work yesterday that she wanted to come and see the two grand-nephews..."

Li Ye pursed his lips, smelled something unusual, and immediately said with certainty, "Since Watching Liu Muhan is coming, do you need to change your clothes specifically? Xiaoyu, you have to believe in yourself; even if you wear loungewear, you are eight times prettier than her."

But Watching Wen Leyu muttered, "She comes twice a month. Last time she discussed dressing with me for two hours, saying that after I give birth, I should pay more attention to my image than before. Is she implying that I'm a middle-aged woman?"

"..."

"Then I'll give her a heads-up later and tell her to come over for free meals less often; even a landlord's family doesn't have surplus grain!"

"Go, go, go, go, go. I'll say it when it's time to say it; you stop interrupting. You just finished using someone, and now you want to throw them over the wall?"

"..."

Watching Wen Leyu was still very reasonable. She had troubled Watching Liu Muhan with Guan Liang's matter, and a few days ago she asked her for Lu Jingyao's number. It really wasn't easy to drive away someone who came to visit the younger generation.

When Watching Liu Muhan arrived, it was already past nine o'clock. She was obviously stunned after seeing Watching Wen Leyu.

After all, she hadn't seen the exquisite version of Watching Wen Leyu many times. In the past few months, when she came to see Xiao Bao'er and Xiao Dou'er, Watching Wen Leyu was always in loose loungewear, which was really quite different from now.

"Xiaoyu, what shade is this lipstick of yours? You can't tell at a glance, but looking closely, it's really moisturizing..."

"Ah! This was a gift from Li Ye. I have several! I'll give you one later."

"Hee hee, then I won't be polite."

After Watching Liu Muhan chatted with Watching Wen Leyu about cosmetics for a while and teased the two children for a while, she suddenly started talking about "serious business" with Li Ye.

"Li Ye, when our Waimao Bureau was introducing foreign capital and technology this year, we came into contact with a mature light truck project.

Originally, this project was intended to be introduced to Jingqi Motor, but now we have encountered a small problem. Their foreign exchange is not sufficient, so they are not very proactive. Do you see if you have any interest..."

"Light truck project?" Li Ye said in surprise: "What kind of light truck project? Is it the same project as Isuzu?"

In the eighties, the interior introduced several light truck projects, among which Isuzu and Iveco were the most successful. But since Jingcheng had already landed the Isuzu project, there shouldn't be any other light trucks of the same size,

So, is it that small truck in his memory?

Watching Liu Muhan took out a few data pictures from her bag: "No, it's a small truck a size smaller than Isuzu, with a load capacity of one ton to one and a half tons, and a vehicle length of over three meters..."

As soon as Li Ye saw the pictures, he knew it was indeed that flagship product that Foton Motor made its fortune with in later generations.

According to the original historical trajectory, this micro-truck from Japan would be introduced to a unit under Jingqi Motor for 5 million US dollars, and then due to market, institutional, and other reasons, the vehicle model project remained in a semi-idle state.

Many projects in the interior are like this. In the early and mid-eighties, when relations with the West were at their best, a large number of technical projects were blindly introduced, but after introduction, they would be idled or scrapped for various reasons.

People in the interior like "big," and this micro-truck from Japan was too small and didn't look decent, so it didn't get attention.

If it weren't for the fact that the Zhucheng Vehicle Factory later merged into Jingqi Motor by "bringing its own dowry to find a husband's family," this 5 million US dollar project investment would likely have gone down the drain like many other projects in the interior.

And now that Factory Manager Wang from Zhucheng had a drink with Li Ye and left, he hadn't been in touch since. Should Li Ye take the initiative?

Li Ye thought for a moment and then said: "We are indeed seeking to introduce a suitable micro-truck recently, so I plan to go to Europe and the Lighthouse to take a look and compare them in the near future..."

"You don't need to go around," Watching Liu Muhan said without being an outsider: "After we came into contact with this cooperation project, we compared several excellent vehicle models of the same type in the world, and this one from Japan is the most suitable for our national conditions."

"..."

【Are you trying to force this project on me?】
