S Group may not have considered Hairun Electric as a competitor, but that didn't stop them from retaliating.

After leaving, Li Yazhen went straight back to the hotel and made a phone call to Ganggang City.

Han Renji was right next to him, and he felt a surge of satisfaction upon hearing this.

I've finally gotten my revenge for losing 100,000 yuan.

Li Yazhen did this to warn Hairun that if it continues to cooperate with N Group, it will have to be on high alert.

But Lin Ziyan was of course unaware of these things; at the moment, she was busy rushing to the university to buy a refrigeration technology.

“With tech companies from Guangzhou attracting S country’s attention, you can go all out with your research and development.” Lin Ziyan said as she walked along a path on campus.

The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass, mixed with a faint fragrance of roses.

Lu Yunshen held her soft hand; the cooperation talks went smoothly, as expected.

After all, only Lin Ziyan offered the highest price for this refrigeration technology, and she also allowed the researchers developing this technology to come to the Hairun R&D team at any time to participate in the later improvements.

The final condition was that the professor who led the technology development made the final decision to sign the contract.

They were recognized and given the conditions to continue their research and development, which relieved them of their worries.

"Our teacher is now working day and night in the research lab, hoping to make a breakthrough in the field of basic electronics in his lifetime," Lu Yunshen sighed.

What he can do now is to build a research and development team so that his teachers have no worries.

"If you find a dead end, you have to find another way. One day, all the parts and technology from Country S may become unavailable."

"The real challenge has only just begun at that moment; there's still a buffer period," Lin Ziyan said casually.

She knew what would happen in the future, but could only remind people that some things must be done practically and diligently, rather than taking shortcuts.

Lu Yunshen stopped in his tracks, lost in thought.

Will that day really come?

Now all basic electrical appliance parts are as cheap as cabbage.

No company would want to research this.

"The future is a technological war," Lin Ziyan continued.

Now, let alone technology, there are hardly any technology companies in China.

"Think about positioning capabilities. If a country shuts down its positioning and navigation system, we'll be blind, and even if we have missiles, we won't be able to aim accurately," Lin Ziyan said casually.

Lu Yunshen pursed his lips tightly. A technological war might be more brutal than any other war.

He felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it, and he hesitated to speak.

"Don't ask. Our country may not have war for the next few decades, but that doesn't mean the world will be at peace." Lin Ziyan stopped there, saying it was too early to worry about things unnecessarily.

What she can figure out, the highest-level leaders can certainly figure out as well.

If we want everyone to think in the same direction, then we need to provide pain education.

This process could take several years...

In the following months,

S Group quickly built a factory in Guangzhou and subsequently opened specialty stores in various cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Suzhou.

S Appliances moved so fast that local brands in Guangzhou hadn't even had time to react before it captured a large share of the market in those cities.

S Appliances' advertisements are everywhere, appearing on television and on main streets of various cities.

In less than six months, S Electric Appliances earned back the money it had paid in compensation to Hairun Electric Appliances.

Appliance brands in Guangzhou have begun to imitate their marketing tactics.

They began designing exclusive stores in various cities.

Lin Ziyan was hospitalized and awaiting childbirth when she looked at the newspaper headline, which featured S Appliances that took up almost the entire page.

"Ah Yan, both Hong Kong and Y country have breached their contracts. Should one of the shrimp paste factories be shut down?" The chubby girl handed her two faxes.

Her brows were furrowed. The cooperation had been going well, but the contract was suddenly broken, leaving her no room for maneuver.

When the chubby girl called, the other end only said that there was a substitute, and made excuses such as the price being too high.

She knew it was an excuse as soon as she heard it.

Lin Ziyan raised an eyebrow slightly, "Have them transfer the penalty for breach of contract. That's all."

S Electric Appliances has established a firm foothold in China, so it's only a matter of time before they break their contract.

Of course, S Appliances also breached the contract. The six-month agency rights for Hairun Appliances City were revoked, and the penalty for breach of contract has already been paid.

Lin Ziyan had long been wary of Li Yazhen, who loved to stab people in the back.

When the Guangzhou branch opened, Li Yazhen's expression was indifferent, but her gaze repeatedly fell on the camera.

S Group has in-depth cooperation with Mr. Yang from Hong Kong and Lem from Country Y.

If she wanted to take action, she would definitely start with these two.

"Open another shrimp paste factory." Lin Ziyan frowned deeply.

The contractions started to become regular.

The chubby girl was surprised, but didn't ask. Instead, she asked worriedly, "Okay, are you about to give birth?"

After the contractions subsided, Lin Ziyan pressed the call button.

"Wait for me outside the delivery room and stop Lu Yunshen from coming in."

She had barely finished speaking when another wave of contractions struck.

She was wheeled into the delivery room shortly afterward.

The chubby girl waited outside, constantly checking her watch, feeling very uneasy.

Lu Yunshen was sent away by Lin Ziyan to go back to the village to pick up his great-grandmother.

"Pearl, where's Ah Yan?" Ah Tai asked anxiously as she arrived at the delivery room.

"It's inside, it just went in half an hour ago." The chubby girl had barely finished speaking when no baby cried out from the delivery room.

All three of them were stunned. So fast?

Isn't it said that the first child takes a long time to be born?

After a while, the delivery room door opened, and a nurse came out.

Congratulations, mother and child are safe and sound.

"I didn't expect the twins to make it to full term; the labor was so short..."

Lu Yun Shen was stunned. Twins?

How come he didn't know there were two?

"Nurse, you must be mistaken," the chubby girl questioned first.

"Aren't you Lin Ziyan's family members?" the nurse asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Lin Atai hurriedly stepped forward.

"That's it then. The mother is exhausted and asleep. She'll be wheeled out soon." The nurse finished speaking and turned back to the delivery room.

The chubby girl murmured, "Ayan's belly isn't very big; mine was bigger than hers in the later stages of pregnancy..."

How come you didn't know either?

She looked at Lu Yun Shen, even more bewildered than the others.

"She went for her prenatal checkup with Sister Fang, and she didn't show me the report." Lu Yunshen felt his legs go weak and was still shaken.

No wonder Lin Ziyan always gave him perfunctory answers whenever he asked.

It turns out she was keeping it a secret from him to give him a shock.

Grandma Lin slapped her thigh, "I forgot to ask if it's a man or a woman, and whether they're healthy..."

She was also startled and quickly found a chair to sit down.

The chubby girl facepalmed. All three of them were stunned when they heard about the twins; none of them were of any use.

"The nurse just said that mother and child are safe. Could they both be boys?" The chubby girl thought back for a moment, but only remembered the first sentence and nothing else.

After Ayan became pregnant, many people spoke ill of her behind her back.

The Lin family has never had a son; for generations, they've only had daughters.

He said it in front of Grandma Lan, adding that having money is useless, as generations of his family would be wiped out by the exploitation of others.

"Gender doesn't matter, as long as you're healthy." Lu Yunshen's throat itched, and he wanted to smoke.

But he had quit for a year, and he had no cigarettes or lighter in his pocket, and smoking was not allowed here.

"It's definitely healthy..."
