Before dawn, Su Tao came to the living room with sleepy eyes and saw Shi Zijin curled up on the sofa, propping up his head and watching TV with relish.

There was a costume drama on TV from an unknown year.

Under the sofa was Xue Dao, lying down and yawning.

Black sesame was lying on the back of the sofa, dozing off.

Ling Yu, who was dark-skinned, stood on the armrest, and Shi Zijin even instructed her to turn up the volume of the TV.

It's rare for Lajiao to play with her cub by the coffee table.

Even White Sesame didn't go crazy. It just lay not far away and wagged its tail impatiently.

A peaceful scene.

Except for the stunned Lin Fangzhi:

".Major General?"

Shi Zijin didn't even take his eyes off the screen:

"Good morning, Fangzhi."

".What are you doing?"

Didn’t Dongyang say that Major General Shi was recuperating? Why is he watching TV here?

Major General Shi also watches TV?

Lin Fangzhi's eyes were full of confusion.

Shi Zijin: "I'm just hanging around here."

Lin Fangzhi: ".?"

Su Tao glared at Shi Zijin:

"Talk to him nicely. He has to go to work soon. He's been very busy these past few days. Don't delay him."

Shi Zijin suddenly felt very sympathetic towards him:

"It's really tiring. You have to get up at five to go to work. Why don't you go first and we can talk in the evening. I'm free every night, so there's no rush."

Lin Fangzhi just walked out like that. If Su Tao hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to call the Dongyang Pioneer Army to report that someone was pretending to be Major General Shi and deceiving Su Tao.

After Fang Zhi left, Shi Zijin asked:

"Have you guys been so busy lately? I thought you were the only one who didn't have to work, but I never expected you to have to get up at five at such a young age to work."

Su Tao said as she washed up: "Isn't this just to quickly take over Dongyang? Fang Zhi is now in charge of business and is the main force in earning crystal cores. It is indeed very hard work."

After saying that, she changed the subject:

"You used to be able to pull all-nighters, but now you think working at five is hard work. Has your mentality changed so quickly?"

Shi Zijin "floated" next to her, leaned against the bathroom door, and said with emotion:

“You can’t experience this kind of happiness.”

Su Tao raised her hand and kicked him, turning him into ashes.

Not long after, the dawn light gradually appeared on the horizon. After recovering from his shock, Shi Zijin looked at the time and sighed:

"I have to go back. See you tomorrow night. Remember to help me find resources for film and television dramas. Of course, forget it if you're too busy. Oh, and there's one more thing. Please tell Shen Wencheng and others that the research on bone wings may be related to the illness and pain it suffered when it was still human."

After he finished speaking, he disappeared in an instant, and the morning light from outside the window penetrated into the living room, casting a thin layer of light.

Su Tao didn't understand why, but she still remembered his words and went to the experimental base after nine o'clock to find Chen Wencheng to repeat them.

Chen Wencheng was suddenly shocked, as if he had suddenly realized something: "I think I know!"

After saying this, he ran towards the laboratory.

The assistant apologized to Su Tao repeatedly: "Our husband is just impatient and obsessed with research. In his excitement, he forgot to say goodbye to Boss Su."

Su Tao waved her hand: "It's okay. By the way, doesn't your Mr. Shen have any professional title? For example, like Academician Qiao."

The assistant smiled bitterly, "Our Mr. Shen has had a tragic fate. He actually graduated from Changjing University of Biology years ago, and his reputation as a genius has long been known. But later he was falsely accused of academic fraud. In a fit of rage, he left Changjing and wandered to Hekang. He was appreciated by Mr. Ji and was able to continue his research."

"Mr. Shen and I feel very lucky to have met Boss Su now, and we don't care too much about titles and honors."

The assistant was a little excited when he talked about the latter part:

“If we can find a direction for vaccine research, Mr. Shen and Tao Yang will both be heroes of humanity. That is the honor of a true winner.”

Su Tao didn't particularly believe that they could find a direction for vaccine research. After all, it had been twenty years since the end of the world, and so many scholars and scientists had been researching and working day and night without any clue.

How lucky must she be to have met a genius who could crack the direction of vaccine research.

But this kind of enthusiasm and spirit still needs to be encouraged. After finishing her daily affairs that morning, she also learned business management knowledge from Mr. Gu for half a day, and then went to Ma Dapao to inquire about the purchase of equipment for the experimental base.

Unexpectedly, Ma Dapao did not answer her directly, but asked hesitantly:

"Boss, are you having any conflicts with Captain Song Yuebin?"

"Just say whatever you want to say."

Ma Dapao was a little embarrassed to speak:

"He couldn't get through to you and said you blocked him, so he came to me and wanted me to tell you that Mrs. Wen from Qian'an is leaving for Taoyang today. They're coming by private plane and will arrive tomorrow morning. Song Yuebin hopes you can be more welcoming. His original words were that this is the only way for Taoyang and him to be better, and he told you not to lose sight of the big picture."

After saying that, he couldn't help but say, "Boss, tell me the truth, have you broken up with him?"

Su Tao's face didn't look very good: "Break up."

Ma Dapao slapped his thigh and said, "Hey! Break up! I'm really dying of suffocation. Boss, let me tell you, it's really hard to make close friends with the surname Song. He looks like a righteous man, but when it comes to conflicts of interest, he turns his back on his relatives."

Su Tao asked: "What do you mean?"

"Song Yuebin's team is in trouble, and some of the team captains he knows are trying to help him. But this guy turned around and reported to Minister Xu Chang, saying that these teams are violating regulations. His goal is to pull other teams off the transportation line and make room for his own team to take over."

Su Tao was stunned for a moment, but she was not very surprised.

Ma Dapao shook his head:

"Boss, this guy is unacceptable. Most of those teams didn't violate any regulations, and even if they did, they were minor issues that wouldn't cause any harm. Even if they did, they all helped Song Yuebin. Some lent him money, some lent him supplies, some lent him venues, and used his connections to help him in every way he could. And he treats them like this?"

"I didn't dare to tell you before because I saw that you and Song Yuebin have a good relationship. If I told you, it would seem like I was trying to sow discord between them. I'm really going to die of suffocation."

Su Tao remained silent.

She vaguely guessed that Song Yuebin had two plans. First, he would use a small flame to get through the back door of Qian'an. If that didn't work, he would report it. Even if he slandered and framed him, he would pull a team down to make room.

He might be really afraid that she would not play by the rules, not only not selling Little Flame, but also showing a bad face to Madam Wen.

Su Tao suddenly wasn't so angry anymore. She realized that she and Song Yuebin were not the same kind of people. Whether they were friends or not was a joke in the end times.

She patted Ma Dapao's shoulder and said, "Just tell me what you want to say from now on. How can I trust an outsider without you?"
