Perhaps he committed too many sins in his youth, and he never even saw a child, let alone a son. So after the apocalypse, when his wife became less controlling, he started trying to have children.

As for why he came to the Northwest Base, Sun Wei found out that the base chief believed he had no son because he had committed too many evil deeds. However, private bases all developed by robbing others of their survival resources. If they were allowed to farm and raise livestock on their own, they would be robbed clean by others before they could develop.

In order to commit fewer sins and have more children, and also because he knew the base's higher-ups, he slapped his thigh and led 5,000 people from the base to join him.

Although this was the information they had gathered, Xu Lin still felt that things weren't that simple, and Zhou Pin also adopted a wait-and-see attitude towards the private base manager.

What others are doing is not within Xu Lin's concern. Now the Northwest Base has exceeded 100,000 people, truly replacing the Beijing Base as the largest base in the country. Similarly, various facilities are constantly being improved, people's lives are getting better and better, and Xu Lin's career is also booming.

Xu Lin's daily schedule is as follows: she gets up at five o'clock in the morning, practices with Zhou Pin for an hour, takes a shower, cooks a meal while she goes to her space to take care of the eating, drinking and relieving of various livestock and poultry, eats, and goes to the store around seven o'clock.

She first holds a morning meeting with the store staff. The store opens at 7:30. She makes a round of inspections and then returns to her office to review various applications and documents.

The store has more than 50 employees, including performers, which is considered a large private enterprise in the base.

Li Jingjing was freed from basic tasks and took on the role of store manager to handle daily operations.

That day, Xu Lin had just finished inspecting the store and was about to go upstairs to work when Wang Jing came over.

Unlike last time when she was accompanied by a middle-aged woman, this time she was accompanied by two bodyguards, a young woman, and an older woman, who were all taking great care of her.

"Xu Lin, it's been a long time," Wang Jing said first.

"Yes, it's been a long time." Xu Lin simply greeted her without asking any further questions.

"I didn't expect you to do so well even after leaving the Beijing base." Wang Jing looked on with envy.

"You're doing quite well too," Xu Lin said, looking at the person next to her.

“Yes, I abandoned Zheng Ming. I really don’t want to live that kind of life anymore. I don’t have a full meal every day, and I’m always worried about dying in a natural disaster. You can blame me all you want…” Wang Jing suddenly became very agitated.

“You’re overthinking it. I’m not blaming you, just stating the facts. You’re doing really well right now. Besides, Zheng Ming isn’t anyone to me, so I have no right to defend him. How you live is your business,” Xu Lin said.

"Miss Wang, please don't get agitated. Be careful of the baby. Let's go back. The master will be worried if he doesn't see you when he comes back," the older woman said, supporting Wang Jing.

No wonder Wang Jing has so many people around her; she's pregnant with the only son of that fifty-something-year-old private base manager who has no children.

An older woman helped Wang Jing walk back. Wang Jing turned to Xu Lin and said, "I'll come find you again next time."

Wang Jing left, and Xu Lin was completely confused. Looking for her? Why would she want to see her?

This incident didn't cause much of a stir. Xu Lin continued working upstairs, only mentioning it to Zhou Pin when she got home that evening: Wang Jing was pregnant.

Zhou Pin also heard that Wang Jing was pregnant, and it was said that the private base manager was especially happy and almost spoiled Wang Jing rotten.
