Seeing the determination in Li Jin's eyes, Gong Moze knew that she had made up her mind, so he stopped trying to dissuade her. However, he secretly decided to help Li Jin with some of the tasks.

As the days passed, under the meticulous care of Li Jin and the medical staff, Gong Moze made a full recovery. His head injury healed completely, and the gunshot wounds on his body left only faint scars. He regained his former spiritedness, and the fortitude and courage of a soldier returned to him.

That day, Gong Moze received a notification from his superiors that it was time to return to his unit. He was both excited and reluctant to leave; excited to be back in the army he loved, and reluctant to part with Li Jin. Meanwhile, Li Jin received news that her company in Yangcheng urgently needed her to return to handle some matters.

The two sat in the hospital garden, the atmosphere somewhat heavy. Gong Moze held Li Jin's hand tightly, breaking the silence first: "Jin, I'm going back to my unit, and you're going back to Yangcheng too. Once we're separated, I don't know when we'll see each other again." Li Jin's eyes were slightly red, and she held back her tears as she said, "Moze, we both have our own responsibilities and missions. I understand your choice. Go to the army with peace of mind, and I will also do my best to build my career in Yangcheng."

Gong Moze looked at Li Jin, his eyes filled with deep affection and determination: "Jin, after this mission is over, I will propose to you. Will you say yes?" Li Jin nodded gently, "I will wait for you. Be careful in the army and come back safely."

Back at the Gong family home, everyone was very reluctant to see the two part ways. Grandma Gong held Li Jin's hand, her eyes filled with heartache: "Jin'er, who knows when we'll see each other again? When you get to Guangzhou, remember to call Grandma often." Li Jin smiled and replied, "Grandma, don't worry, I definitely will. You also need to take good care of yourself."

Grandpa Gong also said, "Mo Ze has gone to the army, so he definitely won't be able to take care of you. If you encounter any difficulties in Guangzhou, just tell your family. The Gong family will always be your support." Gong Jun nodded in agreement.

When Li Jin returned to the Yu family home, Grandpa Yu, knowing that Li Jin was leaving again, sighed heavily and said, "Grandpa will say the same thing again: take good care of yourself and don't worry about things at home."

Yu Zhenzhen chimed in, "And you need to put some effort into your marriage with Mo Ze. Mo Ze is already 30; look how old his peers are! Grandma Gong is already incredibly anxious, but she can't bring it up in front of you! Mo Ze is always protecting you!"

Li Jin nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I'll think about it carefully!"

The day of departure arrived quickly, and Gong Moze and Li Jin each packed their luggage. Gong Moze first saw Li Jin off at the train station, the two clinging tightly to each other the entire way, cherishing their last moments together. At the station, at the ticket gate, Gong Moze looked at Li Jin with reluctance, "Jin, have a safe journey." Li Jin forced a smile, "You too, Moze, take care of yourself." Watching Li Jin walk through the security checkpoint and gradually disappear from sight, Gong Moze lingered for a long time.

Gong Moze then returned to his unit! After Li Jin returned to Guangzhou, Jin Yuanyuan managed the factory exceptionally well! This allowed Li Jin to focus on other things with peace of mind!

At that time, Guangzhou was experiencing a booming economic development, with factories of all kinds springing up like mushrooms after rain, leading to a growing demand for packaging. This undoubtedly brought more opportunities to Li Jin's packaging factory.

She had previously considered opening a branch factory, and now that she was back in Guangzhou, she immediately put the plan into action. Li Jin began by surveying various locations throughout Guangzhou. Riding a bicycle, she traversed the city's streets and alleys, meticulously evaluating the geographical location, transportation convenience, and surrounding amenities of each area. After several days of hard work, she finally selected a suitable plot of land on the outskirts of the city, next to a major transportation artery. Not only was the rent reasonable, but it was also not too far from raw material suppliers and her main customers, resulting in relatively low transportation costs.

Having learned from her previous experience, Li Jin immediately began preparing for the factory's construction after selecting a suitable location. From handling various approval procedures to contacting construction teams, she personally took charge of everything. Despite the tedious process, thanks to her unwavering perseverance and the network she had built in the business world, all aspects of the work progressed steadily.

During construction, Li Jin visited the site daily to check on the progress. Wearing a safety helmet, she moved about the busy construction site, carefully discussing every detail with the construction manager, from the overall layout of the factory to the orientation of the windows. She understood that a good factory layout not only improves production efficiency but also lays a solid foundation for future management and development.

Meanwhile, Li Jin didn't forget about equipment and personnel preparation. She personally went to Shanghai to inspect several advanced packaging equipment manufacturers. After repeated comparisons and screenings, she finally selected a batch of high-performance, cost-effective production equipment. Regarding recruitment, she placed job advertisements in major newspapers in Guangzhou, attracting many experienced technicians and managers to apply. Li Jin personally interviewed each applicant, focusing not only on their professional skills but also on their enthusiasm for the work and their teamwork spirit.

Thanks to Li Jin's meticulous preparation and tireless efforts, the construction of the branch factory proceeded smoothly. A few months later, a brand-new packaging plant rose from the ground. The new factory buildings were spacious and bright, advanced equipment was neatly arranged, and workers were conducting pre-job training in an orderly manner at their respective posts. Looking at everything before him, a gratified smile appeared on Li Jin's face.

On the opening day of the branch factory, business associates from Guangzhou came to offer their congratulations, creating a lively atmosphere. Li Jin, dressed in a simple and capable suit, stood at the factory gate, warmly welcoming each guest. She delivered a brief but inspiring opening speech, expressing her confidence and determination for future development. With the sound of celebratory cannons, the branch factory officially began operations. The first batch of orders quickly followed, and Li Jin led the new factory's employees to work overtime, completing the production tasks with high quality and quantity, winning high praise from customers.

Amidst her busy work schedule, Li Jin always made time to write letters to Gong Moze. In those days when communication was not advanced, letters became an important bond maintaining their relationship. In her letters, she shared the details of the branch factory's construction and expressed her longing for Gong Moze. Gong Moze would also reply to Li Jin during breaks from training and missions, encouraging her to move forward bravely and promising to take care of his own safety while completing his tasks!
