The two stayed in Guangdong Province for two months. When they returned, they brought back one or two shareholding contracts for an electronics factory in Guangdong Province, a shareholding contract for a shoe factory, and purchase contracts and land deeds for more than ten plots of land.

Okay, that's really good.

The electronics factory was being sold because the owner was struggling financially. While the owner was negotiating the price with another person, that person was short of money and wanted to ask the owner to pay later. The owner disagreed. After making inquiries, Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoshen felt that the person who wanted to buy the factory was very capable and worth investing in, so they found him and bought half of the factory's shares. The other half remained with that person. For convenience, Zheng Xuyang merged the two electronics factories together. One factory produced TV dramas, and the other produced electronic watches and clocks. They were divided into two departments and put under the unified management of Ju Houpeng.

The same goes for shoe factories. The competition was too fierce, so the owner wanted to go abroad and sold the shoe factory.

The reason they took so long to return was because they needed to take over the factory while simultaneously finding a manager. At the shoe factory, they promoted someone directly from among the existing managers through evaluation. The former sales manager was named Jiang Feng, a very capable woman. However, she had an unhappy family life, being divorced and raising two children alone.

Regarding her situation, Zheng Xuyang said that it was her own business and that it was fine as long as it didn't affect the factory.

Unbeknownst to them, many people in Beijing were watching Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoshen's movements. In addition, the two of them bought so much land in Guangdong Province. As soon as they left, someone recognized Zheng Xuyang. Then, people with money began to imitate them. Suddenly, countless plots of land were sold all over the country, which also created an economic boom.

After returning to Beijing, the two began preparing for their final exams.

After the three-day exams ended, everyone got busy again.

After a year of teaching, Ruan Ruan finally established her own project. In fact, it was more about her leading the teachers in her department to complete the research on new drugs and the tackling of difficult diseases.

Besides the teacher, she also brought Tang Ying, Li Rui, and Jiang Yuli along.

With 18 years of learning experience, Ruan Ruan guided everyone step by step from scratch. It took them two months, until the start of the semester, to develop a heart-related drug. In order to stop research in other countries, Ruan Ruan approached the leadership and applied for an international patent as soon as the drug was developed. This was also the first drug research in the country to apply for an international patent.

You should know that a few years ago, Ruan Ruan did not apply for the approval of the medicines she made. At that time, Ruan Ruan felt it was unnecessary because those medicines were her own prescriptions. This time, she chose to apply because it was the result of everyone's joint efforts, and she could not let their efforts go to waste.

After the drug was developed, Ruan Ruan contacted Director Wu immediately and then signed a cooperation agreement with everyone.

With this drug, the scale of the pharmaceutical factory has doubled. Fortunately, when the factory was being built, Ruan Ruan reserved a lot of land. Now that the second phase of Mingpin is about to be completed, Chen Liang and his team can free up their resources to expand the factory.

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye. The first batch of college students is about to graduate.

In recent years, Ruan Ruan's research institute has moved from one room to a courtyard house. This courtyard house was originally given to her by her grandfather, but it was severely damaged at that time and there was no time to renovate it. Later, as the research projects became more and more difficult and more and more people joined, Ruan Ruan transformed the courtyard house into a research institute.

With the economy improving in the past two years, more and more people are starting their own businesses. Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoshen alone have discovered many talents from all walks of life at the school. Some are willing to join Hualong Group with high salaries, but some still want to try their luck on their own. Hualong Group will provide financial support to such people and also give them a 50% stake.

After several years of systematic study, Huo Haoli and Zheng Xujie have made considerable achievements in mechanical technology. In their junior year, because Ruan Ruan wanted to tackle prosthetic medical technology, they set up a workshop for them. During the research on prostheses, they encountered many materials that were not yet available in China, so Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haoli went abroad directly. Leveraging the good relationships they had maintained with foreign companies over the years, they successfully introduced the relevant technologies. As a result, Zheng Xuyang generously founded a machinery factory.

Later, at Ruan Ruan's constant request, Huo Haoli and Zheng Xujie worked day and night with their classmates to continuously improve the design. After three months, they successfully made the first prosthetic arm.

This arm was custom-made for a veteran.

The reason why Ruanruan wanted to tackle this project was because of him. His name was Chen Xin, a demolition expert. During a mission, he was injured in an explosion while covering his teammates' retreat. When he was taken to the hospital, there were hardly any good parts of his body.

Ruan Ruan still remembers the scene when Huo Haocheng rushed into the classroom and took her to the hospital. Her comrades, covered in wounds, waited outside the operating room. When they heard the doctors say that they were powerless, they saw the despair in their eyes. Later, when Huo Haocheng came and drove her to them, their eyes were full of longing.

This surgery was the longest, the one with the most resuscitation attempts, and the one with the strongest will to live that she had ever performed. The surgery lasted 11 hours, during which the assistant doctor was changed twice, and the patient went into shock three times. Ruan Ruan used the Thirteen Ghost Needles twice to pull the patient back from the brink of death.

After that, he stayed in bed for a whole month before he was finally able to get out of bed.
