The girl called out to Qin Anning from behind and quickly took two steps to catch up. "Thank you, Qin Anning, we are destined to meet. My name is Wei Anan."

Qin Anning raised the corners of his lips and extended his right hand, "Nice to meet you."

Wei Anan's almond-shaped eyes curved as she extended her hand to shake his, "Nice to meet you, too."

"Well, I'll go first!" Qin An Ning pointed in the direction back to the factory. She was really about to be late.

Being late on your first day at work is unacceptable.

Wei Anan nodded, but followed Qin Anning, saying as they walked, "I don't know anyone here. You're my first friend. I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

Qin An Ning also wanted to chat with her more, so she didn't refuse. "If you want to be the host, it's my treat. Let's meet at the state-owned restaurant at 5:30."

"good."

After agreeing on a time, Wei Anan didn't bother to argue anymore and turned in another direction.

Qin Anning trotted back to the factory and arrived at the pharmaceutical research room on time.

Sitting in the chair, she sighed.

Rong Zhizhou was still struggling with his lab notes from the morning, and Xiao He came over with a thermos to pour water for Qin Anning.

"Thanks!"

Everyone had something to do, so Qin An Ning could finally concentrate on reading the information in the afternoon.

This pharmaceutical factory in the county was a branch of a pharmaceutical factory built during the War of Liberation to quickly provide supplies to the troops.

Later, the main factory moved and the performance of this branch factory deteriorated.

Because we don’t have our own flagship products, we just make some of the formulas left over from the main factory.

However, the old semi-mechanized production lines cannot increase their production capacity, and there is no support for independent research and development projects. These have become obstacles to the development of pharmaceutical companies.

After Qin An Ning finished reading the information, his previous thoughts came to his mind again.

If you are planting medicinal herbs, you can plant some herbs with lower difficulty in the early stage. Even so, you still need professional guidance.

For example, soil drainage, air permeability, humidity and temperature control, prevention of diseases and pests, etc.

In this period, many intellectuals are suppressed, and I don’t know whether it is easy to find such people.

Qin Anning pondered the feasibility of this matter, and occasionally wrote down some problems that needed to be solved in his notebook with his pen.

Time always passes quickly when one is busy. When the bell rang, she realized that she had been sitting in a chair writing for the entire afternoon.

He stood up and stretched his stiff and sore back, packed his things into his bag, and then slowly left the office.

Because she had an appointment with Wei Anan, she didn't go home and went directly to the state-owned restaurant.

There are four state-owned restaurants in Chunjiang County, located in the east, west, south and north of the county seat.

They are in the west of the city, the simple and rough Second State-owned Restaurant.

The layout of the restaurants is similar. As soon as you enter the door, you can see a small blackboard with today's offerings written on it.

Because there are many factories here, the restaurant business is quite good. When Qin An Ning came in, there were more than a dozen people queuing in front of him.

Look at the time, it’s 5:20, ten minutes until the agreed time.

She thought of queuing up first, and when Wei Anan arrived, she would be able to order food.

"An Ning." A clear and pleasant female voice called her.

Qin An Ning turned her head and saw Wei An An sitting in the corner.

She smiled and said in a clear voice, "I've finished ordering. Come over here quickly."

Helpless, Qin An Ning could only walk over and sit down.

"Didn't I say it was my treat? Why did you order the food first?"

Nowadays, restaurants don’t let you eat first and pay later, and there is no sense of service. You have to pay in full when you order.

Then they will give you a number, and when the food is ready, they will call you, and you have to bring it back yourself.

If you encounter a waiter with a bad temper, he will give you the cold shoulder.

Wei Anan smiled and pushed a freshly opened bottle of orange soda to Qin Anning. "It doesn't matter who treats me. I'll treat you this time and you can treat me next time."

"no problem."

Both of them wanted to test each other and spoke with reservations.

They didn't chat for long before someone called out from the window that the meal was ready, and they both got up to get it.

Wei Anan ordered a vegetarian dish, a meat dish and two bowls of rice.

She explained, "I know the portions here are big, so I didn't order more. You won't be angry, right?"

"How could that be? Waste is a great crime. We're lucky to be able to finish all of this."

Qin An Ning winked mischievously, and the two smiled at each other and returned to their seats with the dishes.

"You don't sound like a Northeasterner from your accent!" Wei Anan probed.

"Well, I'm from Beijing, an educated youth who went to the countryside." Qin An Ning didn't intend to hide this.

"Then you're quite impressive to be able to find a job in the county."

"What a coincidence! Judging from your accent, you are also from Beijing?" Qin An Ning asked her back.

Wei Anan swallowed the food in her mouth and said slowly, "It was true before, but it may not be true in the future."

After saying this, he looked at Qin An Ning expectantly.

Qin Anning was a little confused by the staring. What did he mean by looking at her?

"What do you mean?"

"You also know that I'm looking for someone. If I find him, I will stay with him wherever he is and won't go back." Wei Anan spoke softly, but her eyes were firm.

One can't help but wonder, what kind of man could make her obsessed with him so much and willing to give up her life of wealth and glory?

"But it's not easy to find someone in such a huge crowd. Do you have any clues?"

Wei Anan stared at Qin Anning with burning eyes, "It wasn't there before, but it might be there now."

Qin An Ning also stared at her. What did that mean?

Wei Anan saw that Qin An Ning was just staring at her without saying anything, and she felt anxious, so she stopped hiding it.

"The person I'm looking for is called Cheng Shuqing. I know his aunt married a soldier named Qin, and he has a cousin named Qin Anning."

Qin An Ning didn't show it on his face, but his heart was already in turmoil.

What a coincidence, the person Wei Anan is looking for is her elder brother!

But she didn't know what was going on, so she definitely couldn't tell Wei Anan the news easily.

What if Wei Anan was sent by a rival?

The person who harmed her and her mother has not been found yet, so she has to be careful in everything she does.

A thousand thoughts in a flash.

Qin An Ning showed a hint of surprise at the right moment, "Is it such a coincidence? But I don't know the person you are talking about!

His name is so nice, what does he do?

How did you get separated?"

Qin An Ning transformed into a gossip girl with a hundred thousand questions, and portrayed her as a gossip girl to the fullest.

Wei Anan looked at Qin Anning suspiciously, with a somewhat frustrated look on his face, "You really don't know him?"

"Why would I lie about this? If I knew him, I would tell you so you wouldn't be worried if you couldn't find him."

After that, Wei Anan didn't say much no matter what Qin An Ning asked.

The meal was not very interesting and ended in a hurry.

"It's not safe after dark. Let me take you back to the guesthouse." After leaving the hotel, Qin An Ning wanted to send Wei An An off.

What if Wei Anan is really just a girl who simply likes the eldest brother? Regardless of whether they have a future or not, she doesn't want anything to happen to Wei Anan.
