“Haicheng is a good option, but the distributors will have to endure a lot of hardship. There are their own business groups there, and if they go there, they will easily be targeted by the locals,” Jiang Shaozhen said to Shen Mingzhi.

Shen Mingzhi nodded and said, "Yes, I also told them that, so the profit they get is relatively higher, after all, they have to endure hardship."

"What did the department store say about this price war?" Jiang Shaozhen asked her.

"They can't be trusted over there. If our products aren't in high demand, they'll go to the higher-ups, and the contract probably won't last long. But it's okay."

Shen Mingzhi's eyes turned slightly cold as she said this, "It's the perfect time to screen potential partners."

"Are you busy tomorrow?" Shen Mingzhi stared at Jiang Shaozhen. She hadn't intended to trouble him at first, but she felt that she needed him to come along when she went to see Li An's father-in-law.

She was afraid that she wouldn't even get to see him before being dragged out of the hospital.

"Just tell me what you need. You don't need to ask if I'm free. I'm always available for you." Jiang Shao Chen picked up Niannian and grinned at her.

Shen Mingzhi couldn't help but smile, biting her lower lip, a sweet feeling welling up inside her, "Okay, then you can find someone with me tomorrow."

Jiang Shaozhen didn't ask any further questions and readily agreed.

Niannian felt uncomfortable being held by him and wanted to get down.

Jiang Shaozhen had no choice but to squat down, take her hand, and patiently teach her to walk.

Shen Mingzhi glanced at Jiang Zhou, who had fallen asleep again, and couldn't help but say, "They are your children."

Jiang Shaozhen was taken aback for a moment, then said gently, "I...I'm sorry."

He still harbored resentment about what happened back then, and he was also afraid that Shen Mingzhi might still have a grudge because of this incident.

"The misunderstanding between us was cleared up yesterday. After all that, we've come full circle, and in the end, I still have to thank your older brother." Shen Mingzhi felt that fate could indeed be quite strange at times.

She had never met his older brother, but he was in ways she didn't know about, worrying about her future.

Even at the moment of her sacrifice, she did not forget to tell her family to save her from danger.

But her younger brother, through a series of unexpected events, had a relationship with her and had two children.

Perhaps from the moment he got involved in Zhang Ping's affairs, the fates of the four of them became intertwined.

"Don't say that. If you say that, I feel like I've let down my brother for helping you." Jiang Shao Chen lowered his eyes, his tone filled with deep self-reproach.

Even though Shen Mingzhi said that everything between them had been made clear.

But it's a fact that he hurt her.

She could let go of these things because of her brother's kindness, but he couldn't truly let go of them in his heart.

But Jiang Shaochen didn't know how to deal with his current feelings of guilt. He was afraid that the only way to make up for it was to cherish everything about her for the rest of his life.

The two sat in the yard until dinner time before returning inside.

The next morning, Shen Mingzhi and Jiang Shaozhen got up early.

After breakfast, Jiang Shaozhen drove Shen Mingzhi to the medical hospital.

“Shen Xiuzhu’s father is Shen Canglang, a famous cardiovascular expert, but he has a bad temper… so it’s right that you asked me to come.” Jiang Shaozhen said to Shen Mingzhi while driving.

Shen Mingzhi prepared materials all night and was busy until late at night. She only fell asleep reluctantly after Jiang Shaozhen carried her to bed.

Right now, he's holding a pen, still adding materials for the negotiation.

Upon hearing this, she looked up at Jiang Shao Chen and asked, "You know him too?"

“We soldiers know a lot of people. When we’re not on missions, we help the police station with rescues. Three years ago, we encountered a patient with cardiovascular problems who had to be transferred to several hospitals. In the end, it was Shen Canglang who saved him.” Jiang Shaozhen said, then sighed. “Because of this incident, we underwent a year of training to learn how to diagnose basic illnesses so that we could send patients to the appropriate hospitals and avoid putting them in life-threatening situations due to delays.”

“You soldiers know so many things,” Shen Mingzhi said.

"That's right, we are the people's soldiers, we are here to serve the people." Jiang Shaozhen said this with a sense of pride.

"Do you regret it?" Shen Mingzhi asked him.

Later, he chose to retire from the military for her sake.

"No regrets. When I was in the army, sometimes we encountered danger and my teammates left one by one, which taught us to make choices," Jiang Shaozhen said without hesitation.

He was always so sincere.

Upon arriving at the medical hospital, Jiang Shaozhen spoke with a nurse and then smoothly took Shen Mingzhi to see Shen Canglang.

Shen Canglang did not know Shen Mingzhi, but he knew that Jiang Shaochen had gotten married last year.

"Come here for a medical checkup?" Shen Canglang was wearing a white coat, and his hair was all white, but you could tell from his features that he really looked like Shen Xiuzhu.

He must have been very handsome when he was young.

“No, my wife needs to talk to you about something.” Jiang Shaozhen walked to the side and sat down. “It won’t take you long. Just take a look at what she wrote.”

Shen Canglang unconsciously looked up at her and said, "Let me see."

Shen Mingzhi handed him the materials she had written.

After reading it, Shen Canglang couldn't help but say, "This is not my area of ​​expertise. If you want to research drugs, you need to contact Peking Union Medical College Hospital. They have a drug research and development team there, and they can help you."

“I don’t know anyone at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. I heard you’re familiar with people there. If you think my proposal is good, could you help me get an introduction?” Shen Mingzhi looked at him expectantly.

“That’s fine. Keep these materials, and I’ll hand them over to you later,” Shen Canglang said.

Shen Mingzhi looked grateful. "Thank you! Oh, right, there's something else I wanted to apologize for today."

Upon hearing this, Shen Canglang looked puzzled and asked, "Apologize for what?"

"I'm very sorry about what happened with Shen Xiuzhu. I plan to visit him in the next couple of days—"

"Oh, so you're the one who dragged him into doing business, right?! Take these materials away, I'm not helping you, get out of here!" As soon as she mentioned it, Shen Canglang threw her materials at her before he could finish speaking.

"Comrade Shen..."

"What do you business people have to do with me?! Go find them yourselves if you're so capable!"

He interrupted Jiang Shaozhen every time he spoke.

“Old comrade, she’s not doing business entirely for herself. The whole country is seeking economic development now… Xiuzhu’s involvement is a good thing for the people,” Jiang Shaozhen continued.

"Stop talking in such high-sounding terms! My son is dead! I support you doing business with him, but can you guarantee his personal safety? Sending him to such a far place, where the people are vicious and ruthless, they probably crippled him!" Shen Canglang slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Shen Mingzhi could understand why he was so angry...
