"There's no need to suppress it this year, and we can't suppress it anymore. Just accept it with a clear conscience."

"Phew~" Li Chu let out a breath and nodded: "Alright, I will obey the organization's arrangements."

"That's more like it!" A smile appeared on Elder Shen's usually serious face.

“I’ve been so busy from before the Lunar New Year until the end of last month that I’m almost never home. I heard from Shen Jun that you two met during the Lunar New Year and that you have no objection to arranging the weddings for the two children during the National Day holiday.”

"To be honest, Uncle, if Huihui hadn't suddenly wanted to change her major and join the army, my original plan was to wait until she graduated in 1987 before considering this issue. Now that things have come to this, I have no objection. But if you really ask me, I'm reluctant to let her get married so early."

"Hehe, that's not up to you!"

"Yes, the child is growing up and has her own ideas. As her father, I just need to support her."

"Hmm," Elder Shen nodded, "Xiao Yi will be back next month, working in the finance department. I'll consider the specific position later."

This news really surprised Li Chu; he had no idea about it.

When Shen Yi came to wish him a Happy New Year, or when he met with Ding Qiunan and Shen Jun and his wife on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he didn't mention this matter at all.

"Uncle, there's really no need to force Xiao Yi to come back. It's good for him to continue training down there for a few more years. Working in finance is too specialized and won't be good for his future development."

"This was his own request, and it wasn't just to avoid being separated from Huihui. His major in university was economics."

Some time ago, he wrote me a letter in which he seriously talked about his thoughts over the past few years in politics. He frankly admitted that his personality was not suitable for the grassroots level and that he really could not accept the twists and turns at the bottom. Sometimes he really wanted to do something practical, but there were obstacles everywhere, which made him feel exhausted.

He felt that dealing with these interpersonal relationships every day was a source of great distress for him. However, because his parents and I, as his grandfather, had high hopes for him, he had been persevering for the past few years.

He used his marriage to Huihui for two reasons: firstly, to avoid living apart after marriage, and secondly, because he wanted to return to China to conduct some macroeconomic research.

After listening to Elder Shen's words, Li Chu fell silent, unsure of what to say.

As the only third-generation member of the Shen family, Shen Yi is someone that Shen Jun and his wife, as well as Old Master Shen, all hope he can go as far as possible.

However, the child's own wishes are also very important.

But as a prospective father-in-law, he really couldn't say much about this matter. After all, it was a family affair. Even after the two children got married, he wouldn't interfere in Shen Yi's arrangements. At most, he would offer some help after Shen Yi's position was secured.

"Uncle, I won't say anything about this. You've been a soldier all your life and have seen a lot. You're definitely more knowledgeable than me when it comes to considering things. In short, no matter what job Xiao Yi does in the future, he will always be our Li family's son-in-law."

"Okay, I understand." Old Master Shen nodded with a smile.

"Keep the weddings of both children simple. The chef you hired for Wenxuan's wedding last time was quite good, so please invite him back. Hold the banquet at the sanatorium, where it's quieter. Let him tell you what ingredients he needs, and I'll arrange for someone to prepare them."

"Uncle, is it a bit inappropriate to put it in a sanatorium? The chef I found will also be bringing his apprentice and a few kitchen helpers. Will that be inconvenient? After all, there are several senior officers living there."

"It's alright, I'll tell Xiao Liao in advance and have him arrange for people to separate the front and back. Besides, those old guys will definitely be participating too."

"Little Liao?" Li Chu chuckled inwardly. Dean Liao, who was three or four years older than him, was called "Little Liao" in Old Shen's mouth.

But isn't he also Xiao Chu? Alright, big brother, don't laugh at second brother. We're all the same, juniors.

"Okay, Uncle, we'll do as you say."

"Yes, please invite your friends over as well. Even if we keep it simple, we can't not inform our relatives and friends. By the way, it might be inconvenient for them to come over, so I'll arrange a large sedan chair."

Upon hearing this, Li Chu gave a wry smile. Was this still considered keeping things simple? The car had already been arranged.

However, Old Master Shen only has one grandson, so he lets him be.

"When I retire, I'll move to a nursing home. There are lots of old friends there, so it'll be more lively."

"Uncle, Xiao Yi will be back soon. After they get married, let them move back to live with you."

"Oh, no need, no need," Old Shen waved his hand. "Young people aren't used to living at my place. It's fine for them to stay occasionally, but if they stay for too long, not to mention me, I can't stand it either. It's also far from their workplaces, so it's inconvenient for everyone."

Let's not talk about that. Do you remember your American agent?

"Yes, I know her name is Sarah."

"Yes, she sent a letter. She may not have informed you yet, but it has been reported to the higher-ups. She contacted a patient, but the situation is a bit complicated. The patient coming over is not the original person, but someone with the same condition. If you can cure this person, then when the original patient comes over next time, he will bring no less than 50 million US dollars in investment funds to jointly build a factory with us."

Li Chu raised an eyebrow. After handing over the task of negotiating with Sarah, he hadn't paid any attention to it. He didn't even ask about it when Sarah came for a follow-up appointment last month, thinking that the matter had been forgotten. He didn't expect that she would actually get in touch with him.

"When will she arrive? How will the consultation fees be calculated for this patient?"

"They gave us 100,000 yuan for the consultation this time. They're currently processing the paperwork, and it should be ready by the end of the month."

"I understand, I will take it seriously."

"Okay, just be aware of this. I expect you'll be notified later, and your General Logistics Department will contact you then."

Alright, that's the gist of it. Hope you understand. I won't keep you with this old man for lunch. Go back and keep Qiu Nan company. I know you always have lunch with her if you're free.

"You know that too? It's just a habit we've developed over the years."

"Haha, you two are a model couple at the main hospital, it's hard not to know about you."

Li Chu smiled slightly and stood up: "Uncle, I'll head over now. You go ahead with your work."

"Let's go, let's go."

After greeting Secretary Zheng outside, Li Chu left the office building. This trip was quite fruitful; with a raise, who wouldn't be happy?
