Lu Yunshen went straight into his room after returning home.

He unwrapped the packaging and saw that it was an electric shaver made in Germany; his hand paused for a moment.

There was also a box of men's face cream inside, the same brand that Lin Ziyan bought.

The combined price of the two items was about the same as the women's brand face cream he bought.

Lu Yunshen shook his head and chuckled. Was this considered a return gift?

He opened the face cream; it had a very faint fragrance, with a subtle floral scent, but it was extremely faint.

As for the electric shaver, this was the first time he had received such a gift.

Lu Yun Shen opened the battery cover, and there was already a battery inside.

"Tsk tsk tsk, a girl gave it to you, right?" Yang Yanzhou crossed his arms and leaned against the door, teasingly.

He then strode into the house, pulled up a chair, straddled it, and let his hands hang naturally at his sides. "Brother Shen, are you dating someone?"

"How does it feel? Let your buddies be envious."

Lu Yun Shen slowly put the things into the drawer and said indifferently, "Get lost. If you want to know, go find one yourself."

Yang Yanzhou clicked his tongue a few more times and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I know even if you don't say it, your face is beaming with smugness."

He gazed at his friend with delight for a while, and couldn't help but marvel at how love could truly make one radiant.

Lu Yun Shen ignored him, opened the envelope, saw the lawyer's letter, and laughed in anger.

Did Maiwei send them an international lawyer's letter?

The above clearly states that their modifications to the S-class cargo ship violated several of the group's regulations regarding technology leakage.

We are now formally filing a complaint and demanding compensation sufficient to purchase a cargo ship of the S-class, or else we will join forces with the International Association of Shipping to boycott their company's cargo ships from docking at the country's ports.

"Take a look at this." Lu Yunshen flicked out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and blew smoke rings.

Yang Yanzhou opened the letter, saw the lawyer's letter, and quickly looked up at him.

"Maiwei sent us a lawyer's letter?"

"How dare they?" Yang Yanzhou said coldly.

He skimmed through the letter, then threw it on the table, muttering, "Robber."

"They might as well just say they're robbing us."

Lu Yunshen narrowed his eyes and sneered, "They probably think we wouldn't dare to file a cross-border lawsuit."

"They were indeed robbers, stealing money."

The two chatted for a while before stopping when they heard the phone ring.

Lu Yun Shen got up and walked outside, picked up the phone,

"grandmother,"

"I am indeed in a relationship. I'll tell you the details when I go home for Chinese New Year."

He hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Old Man He and Grandma Lan walked in at the same time, looked at each other, and were full of surprise.

"You and Ayan..." Grandma Lan asked.

Lu Yun Shen nodded, a smile welling up in his eyes. "It's her."

Old Man He snorted, "You got off easy, kid."

Grandma Lan smiled, her wrinkles deepening, and nodded. "Be careful what you say, there are plenty of gossips in the village."

Yang Yanzhou was stunned for a few seconds. Why wasn't this what he expected? She didn't object anymore?

…

On the other side, the Lin family.

Lin Ziyan called back and took a shower first.

She bought gifts for her sisters and wrapped them up in pretty wrapping paper before they came back.

“Ah Yan…”

Lin Ziyan had just wrapped the gift and put it in the cabinet when she heard Fatty's shout.

She walked in, pulled up a chair, sat down, and said with a smile in her eyes,

"The guy I met today was pretty good, and he was fat enough!"

"Pfft!" Lin Ziyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She sometimes finds it hard to understand her friend's thought process, how could she be so sure that she should find a fat person?

A blush quickly crept onto the chubby girl's face, but her eyes were particularly bright at that moment.

"Also, his button popped open today..." The chubby girl recounted everything that had happened that day.

Lin Ziyan rested her chin on her hand and listened quietly.

From what she said, you can probably guess that the person she's looking at is pretty good, but she'll have to look at the others later.

"You wouldn't believe it, we went to a state-run restaurant today, and he ate even more than me, and he ordered all the dishes I like," the chubby girl continued.

"After dinner, he even took me to buy lots of snacks..."

Lin Ziyan nodded, then asked doubtfully, "Is he willing to be a live-in son-in-law?"

Fatty said, "I'm willing. His parents are gone; only his older brother and sister-in-law live with him."

He said today that it would be unfair for me to marry into his family, and that he would prepare the bride price and everything else..."

After chatting for a while, Aunt Chen came to call Fatty home for dinner, her tone very urgent.

Lin Ziyan never expected that her grandmother's words would come true, and that the chubby girl would actually find someone willing to come to her door.

…

The next day, the sea breeze was chilly, and the thin sunlight didn't bring warmth; instead, it felt even colder.

Lin Ziyan and Aunt Chen were setting up in the factory when a group of people suddenly arrived.

They weren't wearing work clothes, but claimed to be there for factory hygiene inspections.

Seven or eight men wearing green military uniforms squeezed into the factory.

Someone secretly picked up a stone from the side, intending to smash it at the machine, but Lin Ziyan kicked him, causing him to stumble and almost fall.

"Are you here to cause trouble?" Lin Ziyan looked at them coldly.

The men exchanged glances and aimed at the machine.

Their purpose in coming here was to smash the machines.

If these machines are smashed, the factory can't be set up, and they'll have accomplished their mission.

"What trouble? We're just here to inspect hygiene. Yesterday's inspection doesn't count; this is a surprise inspection."

A man stepped forward to comfort her, his gaze fixed on the machine, completely ignoring Lin Ziyan.

Can one woman stand up to several men?

He thought the kick was accidental; no one saw the woman kick him.

Aunt Chen had already slipped out the back door to call for help. These people dared to cause trouble in the village; they must have powerful backers.

She thought back to how the staff member had offended someone yesterday, and felt a wave of fear wash over her.

Aunt Chen ran fast and didn't attract their attention.

Lin Ziyan glanced at the back door, then calmly walked to the side, blocking their view, and said with a faint smile,

"Then please check again. Don't keep withholding the business license after you're done..."

Those people didn't respond, and pretended to inspect with cold faces.

Lin Ziyan could tell from the way they conducted the inspection that these people were not from the Ministry of Health.

They kept moving closer to the machine, clearly aiming for it.

"Move aside, we need to check the machine," one of the men said seriously.

Lin Ziyan didn't move aside; instead, she pushed the table to block the machine.

These machines are all covered with a thin film, and the technician just disinfected them.

The inspectors who came yesterday checked and found no problems, so they put on the protective film.

"These are inspection documents; they shouldn't need to be checked again after a day," Lin Ziyan said calmly.

Her gaze was a few degrees colder than before.

"Yesterday is yesterday, we're going to investigate today!" The man who had just been kicked by Lin Ziyan stepped forward.

The women nearby immediately gathered around, their faces turning completely pale.

"Make way!" Several men stepped forward at the same time.

Taking advantage of the chaos, one of the men picked up a rock and smashed it directly at Lin Ziyan's head.

"Ayan, watch out!"

Aunt Chen arrived at the door with her entourage, saw it, and shouted...
