Only Ruan Ruan and Dr. Jiang continued to sit and slowly eat their meals.

"What are you thinking? Do you also want to go back quickly?" Dr. Jiang noticed that Ruan Ruan hadn't said a word throughout the entire process of them saying they wanted to go back, as long as their man was still there.

Even though nothing seems important right now, they both thought they should wait a couple more days. They came together, so it would be best if they went back together.

"Let's see. I've had this feeling all day that something is going to happen. My right eyelid keeps twitching." As she spoke, Ruan Ruan pressed her twitching right eyelid again.

"This... I heard from the older generation that jumping to the left means disaster, jumping to the right means wealth. You're not going to lose money, are you?" When Dr. Jiang said this, he first looked around and, seeing that no one was around, moved closer to Ruan Ruan and whispered these words.

After all, these are feudal superstitions. If they are said in public and overheard by someone with ulterior motives, it will not be good for them.

"I don't think so, right?" Ruan Ruan had heard Grandma Huo mention Dr. Jiang's statement before when she was back in her hometown. But wasn't that all nonsense? She had never seen anyone actually experience anything bad when their eyelids twitched!

"I'm not sure, after all, I haven't heard of anyone actually encountering it." Dr. Jiang simply shrugged, indicating that he had only heard of it but had never actually seen it.

"Oh well, let's just jump. We'll know when we actually encounter it." Regarding things that haven't happened yet, Ruan Ruan said, "Let's leave it at that for now."

But who knew, what people say comes true.

Around 4 p.m., a government commercial vehicle from Beijing stopped outside their shelter. Fortunately, most people were busy with other things at that time, and there weren't many people around.

Secretary Xu and Mayor Liu rushed out to greet them the moment they heard the news.

You know, this is their god of wealth!

They didn't expect that just two days after submitting the report, people from the central government would arrive. Judging from the dust on his car, they knew that he had driven here himself, day and night.

"Comrade, you've really worked hard!!!" Mayor Liu went up to the person as soon as he got out of the car, took his hand and held it tightly.

"Hello, my name is Lan Chaoyang. Mayor Liu, you can just call me by my name. I'm not saying I've worked hard. The ones who have really worked hard are you and the people of Tangcheng. The higher-ups are also paying close attention to the situation in Tangcheng, so after receiving the report, they sent me here. I hope I can help you."

After two years of honing his skills, Lan Chaoyang has changed from his previous gentle and refined manner to a serious and experienced man whose words are convincing.

When Mayor Liu and Secretary Xu heard Lan Chaoyang say that the leaders were always paying attention to them, coupled with the timing of his arrival, it truly showed that the leaders were always with them, letting Mayor Liu and Secretary Xu know that their hard work and efforts were being recognized.

"Comrade Lan, you must be tired from your journey. Let's go inside and rest for a while, and we can discuss the details later." Seeing Lan Chaoyang's expression, even if Secretary Xu was in a hurry, he couldn't just let people go in to talk business like this.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Secretary Xu and Mayor Liu." Lan Chaoyang, who hadn't washed up for two days, looked at his clothes, which had turned from black to gray, and were really not presentable. He was going to see Ruan Ruan and the others later, so he couldn't go like this, or they would laugh at him.

Lan Chaoyang followed the people arranged by Secretary Xu, first went to wash up and change his clothes, and then went to the rest room arranged for him to take a nap.

Lan Chaoyang was not woken up by the person who brought him food until it was time for dinner.

Lan Chaoyang checked the time; it was already 6:30.

"Do you know where Dr. Ruan and Commander Huo are now?" When Lan Chaoyang came over, Zheng Xuyang told him that if he wanted things to go smoothly, he should go see Ruan Ruan as soon as possible, tell her about his mission, and then talk to the secretary.

Lan Chaoyang trusted Zheng Xuyang's words, so he decided to meet Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng tonight and then talk with Mayor Liu and Secretary Xu tomorrow morning.

"Dr. Ruan and Commander Huo usually eat in the canteen at this time. After eating, Dr. Ruan and the other doctors treat patients or apply medicine to their wounds. If Commander Huo has nothing to do, he will stay with Dr. Ruan." The person explained to Lan Chaoyang what Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng would be doing at this time.

As for Lan Chaoyang, Secretary Xu told him in the afternoon that he must take good care of him and, if possible, take him around to see more places when he has free time.

"Alright, please take me to the cafeteria to find them." After saying that, Lan Chaoyang picked up his tray and walked out.

A few minutes later, the man led Lan Chaoyang into the cafeteria, and the junior staff member pointed directly to the table where Huo Haocheng and the others usually sat to eat, "Dr. Ruan and Commander Huo are over there."

Usually, Huo Haocheng and his group sit at this table during mealtimes. After everyone else learned about their relationship, they would gladly leave the table for them. This way, whenever it was mealtime, anyone looking for them could come directly here without having to search for them elsewhere, which was very convenient.

Lan Chaoyang looked in the direction the junior officer was pointing and saw Ruan Ruan sharing half of the steamed bun in her hand with Huo Haocheng beside her.

"Okay, thanks. You should go eat too. I'm all set here." After saying this to the junior staff member, Lan Chaoyang walked towards them.

As others approached and stood opposite Ruan Ruan, before they could even greet her, Ruan Ruan looked up and stared intently at them.

"Phew...So that's why my eyelids were twitching!" Ruan Ruan pouted and took a deep breath before uttering this sentence upon seeing Lan Chaoyang suddenly appear in front of her.
