“If you don’t want to divorce, then drag it out.” Ye Zhaoyu wasn’t in a hurry. She felt that Qin Zichuan must have other motives for insisting on divorcing her.

I haven't investigated these matters concerning Qin Zichuan myself, so I need to have Nian Mufeng investigate them thoroughly when I get back.

The food arrived, and Ye Zhaoyu calmly finished her meal, paid for it, and left without glancing at Qin Zichuan again.

Qin Zichuan was at a loss as to what to do with Ye Zhaoyu. Forcing her wouldn't work; she would use poison and wouldn't hesitate to use it.

He's too rational; if he doesn't give his heart, she won't be moved.

He was wealthy and talented.

Before heading south, I heard that Ling Yunmo had made another contribution. Last time, it was because Ling Yunmo had injured his leg and might not recover, so the credit was given to him and he was promoted.

Now that Ling Yunmo is back, he's no longer the most powerful and strongest soldier king; he'll be relegated to second place once again.

If Ye Zhaoyu hadn't acted so quickly to save Ling Yunmo, he wouldn't have had time to make his plans, and he wouldn't be chasing after a woman like this now.

Thinking about the information he had investigated, and how he had even sacrificed his marriage, and how many nights he had slept with her, this woman still showed no mercy.

Qin Zichuan's mind raced, but his face remained impassive.

Lin Zhizhi looked at the calm Qin Zichuan. He had clearly acted as if he couldn't live without Ye Zhaoyu, so why was he so calm now that she was gone?

Maybe it's not entirely about liking!

But it has nothing to do with her; all she wants is the position of the young mistress of the Qin family.

"You're back, what do you want to say?" Ye Fei and the others were eating hot pot at home, their mouths greasy from the food.

"They refuse to leave."

Ye Zhaoyu looked at the bowl again, indicating she could eat a little more. After taking a bite of fish slice, she finally answered.

"Does he like you? Is it a relationship that developed from sleeping together?" Ye Fei didn't believe that someone could fall head over heels in love with someone in just about six months.

"He probably has other motives." Shen Qingyang had only been back in the compound for two years and didn't know Qin Zichuan well, only that others had said he was a very good person.

"have no idea."

Ye Zhaoyu thought that she couldn't reach into the military region, and there was no way to investigate, especially since she was investigating a registered officer. What if she was caught as an enemy agent?

To find out more clearly, we need to find a way to investigate.

After finishing their hot pot meal, the five of them sat in the courtyard to cool off.

"It's been a long time since we've sat down and chatted like this."

"Yes, usually it was Mother Night who took us together." Night Butterfly recalled her childhood days, when she would study during the day and chat and play games together at night, and occasionally they would even fight each other.

Everyone seemed to be reminiscing about their childhood, playing games like "drop the handkerchief," "eagle catches the chicks," idiom chain games, word chain games... countless games, and endless laughter.

"Putting aside other people, are the four of you really not planning to get married?" Ye Zhaoyu sat up and asked the other four.

If she could, she would want everyone around her to be happy.

"No, looking at you like this, you'd be better off single." The four of them shook their heads in unison.

Huo Jianan and Qin Zichuan are considered good by most people, but in reality, they are just average. It's too difficult to find a suitable man, so it's better to focus on your career.

"That's true. Getting married is easy, but getting divorced is not so good."

Ye Zhaoyu was a little annoyed, but only for a moment, and quickly put the matter out of her mind, chatting and laughing with the others.

The five women sat in the courtyard, reminiscing about their childhood for a moment before quickly returning to the topic of their careers.

When Ye Ling was with them, they mostly focused on learning and rarely talked about men or other people's everyday life.

Now that they've grown up, when they get together, they subconsciously don't want to talk about those things anymore. They prefer to talk about what careers they want to pursue, what things they can do, and how to do them.

Ye Zhaoyu told them that she had ordered two ham sausage machines. That evening, they discussed where to set up the factory and the issue of raw materials.

With the people, goods, place, and finances all in place, the clothing business is already running smoothly; all that's needed is to check the accounts regularly.

You can take some time to do the next task. With a fixed process, it's just a different task, which isn't troublesome. The more troublesome part is dealing with the raw materials.

However, the machine may not be available until the end of the year, which is plenty of time. During this period, everyone should just assign tasks and contact persons.

After discussion, it was decided that two machines would be placed, one in Beijing and one in Guangzhou, so that both could operate simultaneously.

After Ye Zhaoyu finished dealing with everything, she took a car back to Beijing the next day. The research in Beijing had not yet stopped.

This round trip, including travel time, will take about half a month.

At the train station, I ran into Qin Zichuan and his group, who were also heading back to Beijing.

I resisted the urge to turn around and leave.

Ye Zhaoyu boarded the train with them.

I was lucky this time; I managed to buy train tickets for both of us.

"Little Fish, are you going back to Beijing today too?" Wen Nuan was particularly surprised to see Ye Zhaoyu. She had originally planned to go back two days ago, but Qin Zichuan suddenly said to wait a little longer because he had something to do, so the two of them were not in a hurry to go back.

"Hmm, it seems we're quite destined to meet." Ye Zhaoyu smiled at Wen Nuan.

“Yes, if Commander Qin hadn’t postponed it, we wouldn’t have had this opportunity,” Wen Nuan said softly.

She was quite annoyed with Qin Zichuan. He had come to apologize, but he brought Lin Zhizhi with him. It was just disgusting.

Ye Zhaoyu smiled but didn't say anything.

Just like when they arrived, Ye Zhaoyu and the other two were in the same carriage, while Qin Zichuan and the others were in the next carriage.

Even if I feel nauseous, I can't get off the bus. If I go back tomorrow, my letter of introduction will expire.

Ye Zhaoyu and the other two sat on their beds reading books, while people came and went in the aisle of the carriage, all of them passengers.

The other people in the beds also boarded the bus.

"Brother, it's inconvenient for me to get into the sleeper berth because I'm wearing a skirt. Could you help me switch seats with someone else?"

Upon hearing that sweet, delicate voice, Ye Zhaoyu instantly got goosebumps.

Looking up, I saw a girl with smoky makeup standing at the carriage door, speaking softly to a boy.

These two are clearly from the South. The boy is not tall, about 1.7 meters, and the girl is even shorter, only about 1.55 meters.

"Hello, could you please switch beds with me?" the man asked Ye Zhaoyu.

Ye Zhaoyu had the lower bunk, while the girls had the upper bunk, so it was difficult for them to sit up.

Ye Zhaoyu is tall and can't sit up because she sleeps on the top bunk.

"No, I prefer the lower bunk." Ye Zhaoyu refused to continue reading.

Qin Zichuan, who was sitting next door, heard that someone wanted to switch beds and quickly came over. "I have a lower bunk, how about I switch with you?"

He wanted to buy a ticket for the same carriage as Ye Zhaoyu, but there were none left, so he had to board the train and exchange tickets with someone else.

"Brother Zichuan, I also want to sleep in the lower bunk," Lin Zhizhi quickly said, looking pitifully at Qin Zichuan.
