Wei Aiguo returned to school the next day. With his mother looking after Song Yan's health and Lao Han's assurance, he wasn't too worried. He wanted to focus entirely on his studies.

We need to catch up on the progress we've fallen behind on these past few days.

Five days later, the college holiday was approaching, and Wei Aiguo did not expect that Shen Changchuan would send a car to wait for him at the school gate.

Wei Aiguo had no idea why Shen Changchuan would contact him.

Shen Ruomei must know about Song Yan's pregnancy. As for the sake of the child, Wei Aiguo felt that, given his character, he wouldn't bring it up.

As expected, when Shen Changchuan met Wei Aiguo, he did not mention the child.

It turned out that Shen Hongxiang had arrived in Kyoto.

Shen Hongxiang went to stay with his classmate, Liang Hongzhi.

Liang Hongzhi's sister was the wife of Deputy Division Commander Duan.

This Deputy Division Commander Duan is Duan Xueting's uncle.

Shen Hongxiang was given a job at a hospital pharmacy by her classmate. She has recently become very close to the wife of Deputy Division Commander Duan.

Xiao Hu and his team are planning to build a biscuit production line near the military base, specifically near where Deputy Division Commander Duan's troops are stationed.

Deputy Division Commander Duan is the main person in charge on this side of the military.

Initially, the military proposed that the factory be affiliated with them, but Xiao Hu neither agreed nor refused at the time.

It seems we really can't agree to this.

Wei Aiguo: "Is it okay if we don't cooperate with Deputy Division Commander Duan on this matter?"

Shen Changchuan felt gratified when he heard Wei Aiguo ask this question.

The reason for choosing to cooperate with Deputy Division Commander Duan's unit was because this matter was discussed between Commander Shen and the old commander.

If this is done well, it would be a huge benefit for military families. Such a good thing should naturally be enjoyed by the person who proposed it. However, General Shen's troops are quite special. His soldiers and officers are mostly young, and there are not many military families accompanying them.

This benefit was given to the army unit that had a close relationship with Commander Shen. The higher-ups then passed it on to Deputy Division Commander Duan.

Wei Aiguo asked this to seek Shen Changchuan's opinion. Would it be bad for Shen Changchuan to join forces with other units on this matter and get rid of Deputy Division Commander Duan? Or what was his opinion—whether he agreed or disagreed?

Shen Changchuan: "I would never advocate for cooperation between people who have ties with Shen Hongxiang."

If Deputy Division Commander Duan could distinguish between the two and cooperate with you in every way, and even offer you preferential terms, then that would be fine.

If he hesitates and is demanding of you on the terms.

"The military isn't just their unit; there are many military families who need help!"

Wei Aiguo: "I understand."

After the matter was settled, the father and son had nothing more to say.

Shen Changchuan: "Let me take you back!"

Wei Aiguo: "Okay!"

The car drove all the way to their doorstep, and the father and son didn't say a word the whole way.

Only after the car stopped did Wei Aiguo speak: "Have dinner at home before you leave!"

Shen Changchuan: "The troops have something to do today, let's do it another day!"

"Then let's do it another day!" After saying that, Wei Aiguo didn't get out of the car and remained sitting there.

Shen Changchuan turned to look at him. "Is there anything else?"

Wei Aiguo: "Xiaoyan is pregnant again, and Old Han says it's twins again!"

Shen Changchuan already knew the news, but he was genuinely happy to hear it from him in person. "A large and prosperous family is a good thing, congratulations!"

The car door was banged on loudly. It turned out that Yueyue heard the car and came out to find it was Grandpa Chen's car.

Now that Yueyue is out, Shen Changchuan can't leave immediately.

Yueyue: "Grandpa Chen, dinner's ready, come over for dinner!"

Shen Changchuan picked up Yueyue, and the child's big, watery eyes almost melted his heart: "Grandpa Shen has a lot of things to do, so he can't stay today..."

Yueyue started her nagging mode, mimicking the way adults nag, telling Shen Changchuan to eat on time, and so on.

Shen Changchuan agreed to all of them.

As he put Yueyue down to leave, Wei Aiguo came out carrying a net bag. "This is flower tea that Xiaoyan prepared for you, and there's also a portion for Uncle Fang."

Shen Changchuan took the heavy package; it contained more than just flower tea…

...

When Song Yan asked, Wei Aiguo said that Shen Changchuan had given him a ride back on the way.

The family is now strictly adhering to the doctor's orders to allow Song Yan to rest.

Wei Aiguo himself certainly wouldn't be the first to cause trouble. He didn't mention anything about Shen Hongxiang, but instead talked about this with Xiaohu.

Xiao Hu was also a little unhappy.

The military brought up the matter, and he started having contact with people there. Everything was fine at first, but things have been a bit unpleasant these past few days.

The land used to build factories near military bases is of course local land, since the military bases don't own any land.

Therefore, the negotiation on this matter was completed by the military, the local authorities, and Xiao Hu.

The local authorities are willing to cooperate because they are willing to support the military. They follow the military's lead without question.

During the negotiations, they discovered that there were also benefits to be had, such as arranging for a few people to work in the factory.

Little Tiger will definitely be able to accept this.

Xiao Hu has already started making plans regarding site selection and land area.

The factory was built here mainly to take care of military families; otherwise, the factory could have been built anywhere.

Then your unit should give me some help, right?

For example, you could lend a hand when building the factory.

The military loves the people, and the people love the military. So it's no big deal for the military to contribute a little effort or do some work.

When the new factory is built, it will definitely need vehicles to transport materials, and it would be helpful if the military had vehicles to help out.

Initially, both parties reached a consensus on this matter, but it wasn't put into a contract; however, it was a tacit understanding.
