Yan Rushan followed the sound and walked slowly forward to look down. What she was writing furiously was all data.

"Yuxiu, what are you writing?"

"Theoretical data." Zhong Yuxiu wrote down everything in her mind without looking up. She stopped writing and twisted her neck. She caught a glimpse of a shadow beside her and raised her eyes with a hint of surprise. "Brother Yan, why are you still here?"

Yan Rushan asked, "Seeing how enthusiastically you write, do you think you've found a new research direction?"

"Well, you reminded me downstairs earlier that cooking produces a lot of smoke. So why not develop a series of range hoods?" He then immersed himself in drawing the blueprint for the entire range hood, using a simple range hood that was acceptable in this era. "With this, I won't have to worry about cooking fumes anymore."

"Let's talk about these things later. Now we should go downstairs to eat." He stretched out his hand, indicating that it was time for her to go downstairs.

She obediently placed her little hand in his palm, and with the strength of his hand, she stood up. The two of them went downstairs together. The food was on the table, and Haonan and Tian Shangguo were waiting beside the table.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Next time, if I go upstairs without telling you, you can eat first and don't have to wait for me." Zhong Yuxiu said apologetically.

Haonan smiled, and Tian Shangguo said nothing; the two of them neither nodded nor refused, and their silent attitude made Zhong Yuxiu think that they had listened to him.

Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu sat next to each other. Zhong Yuxiu said, "Let's eat."

The four of them finished their meal around the table. Without Goudan taking any action, Haonan and Tian Shangguo cleaned up the mess.

Goudan brought two cups of tea, placed one in front of Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu respectively, and then stood silently beside Zhong Yuxiu.

"Goudan, there's nothing for you to do now. Go upstairs first."

“Ding ding.”

Goudan responded and turned away.

Yan Rushan's gaze followed Goudan until he disappeared; his eyes fell on her pretty face, and even though he had doubts in his heart, he did not ask them aloud.

"Yuxiu, do you have time these two days?"

"What's wrong?" She had to go to school to work and also catch up with her classmates on their progress, so she was a little tight on time these days.

Yan Rushan raised the back of his hand and rubbed his chin, then slowly said, "I successfully skipped a grade in school, so I don't have to go back to school. I've been busy with black market business lately, so I can't be responsible for your contact work in the future."

"Oh." If it weren't for the policy requirements, Yan Rushan would have received his diploma by now; Zhong Yuxiu was envious, because the fifth-year physics exam papers had not come out yet, and she couldn't skip it.

"Don't worry, grandpa will come forward to select a new contact for you. Just go to him if you have any problems in the future, big or small." The little girl was young and always calm, but he was still worried.

Zhong Yuxiu was bewildered, "I'm not afraid!"

The girl in his heart had clear eyes, but was confused and ignorant. Yan Rushan couldn't help but hold his forehead, feeling worried in vain.

"Don't be afraid. Tell me if you have any problem."

"Okay." Zhong Yuxiu accepted the idea of ​​her boyfriend being there for her. "But who should I contact?"

Yan Rushan said, "The contact has not been decided yet. Grandpa will bring the person over once it is decided. We can also discuss the dividend distribution with you."

"Dividends?"

"Yes, the above means that you will receive a 3% dividend." His tone slowed down, and his deep, dark eyes reflected the girl sitting opposite him. "With the dividend, you will have an income every year from now on."

"Oh, I see! That's great." In Interstellar, if you have a patent, whether the researched things are kept by the developer or given to the Federation, there will be an income; if the project is kept by the developer, you can cooperate with other businesses and get dividends from shares; if it is given to the Federation, the Federation will judge based on the research and development results and pay a buyout fee.

The people above can directly give her a 3% bonus, and they will handle the patent without her having to worry about anything. They are simply perfect partners.

Zhong Yuxiu thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't 3% a bit too much?"

The most taboo in the distribution of benefits is unfairness.

"Keep it with peace of mind. Since I've given it to you, I've made a clear decision." Yan Rushan was both pleased and distressed by his partner's lack of greed and his clear-headedness in the face of greater interests. No one is born omniscient, sensible, and polite. His partner must have endured countless hardships and sufferings to achieve this.

The Wan family is really not a good family.

Yan Rushan crossed out Wan Jia and blocked him from contacting her.

"Well, you're here to support us anyway." Yan Rushan represented the Yan family. Since Yan Rushan said so, she accepted it with peace of mind. She was not short of money, and the dividends could be used for charity, so why not?

Yan Rushan was very pleased with his partner's trust in him and didn't think there was anything wrong with her thinking that way.

With a light smile, she said, "Thank you for your trust."

"It's my duty." Zhong Yuxiu replied smoothly, and Yan Rushan chuckled. The relationship between the two seemed to have taken another step forward.

The young couple were whispering to each other, and even if they were not talking about love, they were in a good mood. They talked and laughed, and time passed unknowingly. It was getting late, and when Yan Rushan asked to leave, Zhong Yuxiu realized it was too late.

"It's just right. I have to go to school. I'll walk with you for a while." He stood up and said to Hao Nan and the other two in the hall, "Comrade Hao, Comrade Tian, ​​I have to go to school. I'll trouble you to work a little tonight. It's cold, so remember to bring extra clothes."

Yan Rushan suddenly felt sad. He had never been cared for so much by his partner.

"Brother Yan, I need to go upstairs to get some clothes. Can you wait for me for a moment?"

"Okay." Facing Zhong Yuxiu's clear eyes, he couldn't utter a single sour word and just nodded blankly.

Zhong Yuxiu smiled and turned to go upstairs; Haonan and Tian Shangguo followed her upstairs. When the three of them came down, they all held a coat in their hands.

Zhong Yuxiu was carrying a cotton-padded jacket. Although it looked rustic, it was still warm in the cold night in Beijing. As for Haonan and Tian Shangguo, they each took a casual coat, which also looked like cotton jackets.

"Let's go." Zhong Yuxiu spoke as she walked towards the door.

Yan Rushan stood up and walked quickly to her side and went out with her; Haonan and Tian Shangguo followed closely behind, not too far away.

At a fork in the road, Zhong Yuxiu stopped and said, "Okay, let's stop here. You should also go back and get some rest."

"I'll take you to school, okay?" When his girlfriend came back at night, even if Haonan and Tian Shangguo were there, he wanted to pick her up personally. "I'll wait for you to go home together in the evening."

Zhong Yuxiu slowly shook her head. "Forget it. You sometimes have to go to the black market at night. Now you can rest well and don't get too tired."

It is not easy to deal in the black market, and it is even more difficult than those who made their fortunes in the early days in later generations. On the one hand, you cannot be exposed, and on the other hand, you have to sell goods to make money. Even if he is just a behind-the-scenes manipulator, it is very tiring, and sometimes he cannot sleep all night.

Once the policy is opened up, he will feel more relaxed.
