"We live in a time of peace now, why would we need so many wars?"

"You don't understand, I call this being prepared for a rainy day."

"We lost so many comrades on the battlefield back then. If we train more soldiers now, then if a real war breaks out, we'll make sure these little guys are utterly humiliated..."

"Haha, Old Ruan is right..."

...

After exchanging pleasantries, considering that Chen Juan missed her daughter, Li Yaohua didn't insist that the two stay. Instead, he had his driver, Hu Ziqiang, take them to Bicheng.

However, the journey was long, and it was already evening when they arrived in Bicheng.

It was the middle of the night, and they didn't want to wake their daughter, so they stayed at the guesthouse in the county town, waiting to head to Jianshan Brigade early the next morning.

Back in the provincial capital, Zhou Jingyun worked non-stop for several days, holding meetings with Secretary Li, Factory Director Chen, and William, the head of a foreign pharmaceutical company. Finally, after successfully developing several Miao medicines and gaining William's approval, the two sides reached a cooperation agreement and signed a joint venture factory agreement.

When the agreement was signed, Zhou Jingyun's eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion.

However, he didn't feel sleepy at all. He took the money and tickets and went to the department store to buy things for Ruan Miaomiao.

After finishing his shopping at the department store, Zhou Jingyun didn't forget to go to the state-run restaurant to buy glutinous rice for his girlfriend.

"You little rascal, you look like you're about to fall apart from exhaustion, and you don't even know how to rest. You buy things for your girlfriend whenever you have a spare moment. I wonder how beautiful your girlfriend is that she's so infatuated with you."

When Director Chen had the driver take Zhou Jingyun back, he couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the trunk full of things.
