Shen Beian sighed deeply. Setting up a foundation is easy for a group like the Gu family, but to truly implement it and make it effective, rather than just a formality or having the results stolen by others, is too difficult.

"Let's take it slow, this matter can't be rushed." Shen Bei'an sighed, "It's mostly due to the overall environment."

The Empire's leadership...

Shen Beian didn't know much about politics, but he learned from his wife that the imperial leadership was now divided into three factions.

The president of the empire serves a five-year term, and if he remembers correctly, there will probably be an election at the end of next year.

The younger generation of the Empire is very capable. Compared to the First World, this world has even more geniuses, whether in the political, military, or economic fields.

If he wasn't mistaken, that annoying young master of the Hua family should also be running for the election, and her chances of winning were very high.

So if he really wants to get this thing sorted out, he'll probably have to work with her a lot in the future...

Just thinking about that face made Shen Beian furious.

Although I know she already has a husband, and the two love each other very much, and that her relationship with her wife is just a pure friendship.

but!

That annoying look is really annoying!

"Yes," Lin Cheng replied. This was the first time he had handled these things, so he knew he couldn't rush it. He handed the paper materials to Shen Beian.

Although the Empire's technology is very advanced, paper materials have always existed. Electronic materials are easily hacked and altered, while paper materials, if properly protected, are much more difficult to modify than electronic materials.

Shen Beian took the materials and began to look through them.

Indeed, all over the country, regardless of rank or status, and in both public and private sectors, events of all sizes occurred.

Each and every one of them is shocking.

At noon, Shen Beian returned to the First Hospital of the Imperial Capital.

Shen Juanchi was sitting by the bed, chatting casually with Shen Juanqing, when he saw Shen Beian walking over.

Shen Juanchi quickly got up. Just as Shen Juanqing on the bed was about to get up, Shen Beian waved his hand, "Sit down, I'll bring you food!"

"Have my dear nephews not eaten yet?" Shen Beian shook the mahogany lunchbox in his hand, casually pressed a button, and a small table instantly appeared on the bed. Shen Beian placed the lunchbox on it and opened it. "The food in the Huanyu Building cafeteria, although not as good as Baiweiju, is still very delicious."

The brothers Shen Juanqing and Shen Juanchi quickly stepped forward to offer their hands, "Thank you, Uncle. I was just about to order food from Baiweiju. You've come all this way."

Shen Juanqing looked somewhat tired, clearly dealing with those who supposedly "visited" him.

"Thank you, Uncle."

"How many people came this morning? Why are you so tired?" Shen Bei'an remembered that when he came to see Shen Juanqing this morning, he was still very energetic. How come he is so tired now?

Since Shen Juanqing didn't speak, Shen Juanchi naturally didn't interrupt. He simply put out the food and poured water for the two of them.

Shen Juanqing rubbed his brows, his voice tinged with weariness, "Most of the people who came this morning were important figures from the political and military circles, so I naturally couldn't be impolite. This afternoon, it should be people of my own generation."

People in the business world are naturally not capable of catching Shen Juanqing's eye.

"By the way, Uncle, why didn't you come with Aunt?" Shen Juanqing asked, taking the tableware from Shen Juanchi.

Ever since Ziyan became pregnant, his uncle has been clinging to Ziyan like crazy, almost like the members of Girls' Generation. He even has time to come see him?

He came alone.

Shen Bei'an sat down beside him, smiling mysteriously, "Of course I came to watch the show. A-Yan said there would be some fun things, so he asked me to come and see."

He, Master Shen, loves watching plays the most.

Shen Juanqing didn't think so. He figured that Ziyan had deliberately diverted his uncle away because he had something to do.

Nan Chen is back, and Uncle Gu is currently at the Huanyu Building.

When Shen Juanchi came over just now, he told Shen Juanqing everything that had happened in the capital recently.

The capital city is far from peaceful now.

I wonder what Zili's plans are.

The general election is next year, and the election of delegates has already begun this year.

Although Zili has a high chance of winning, those people are not pushovers either.

After the three of them had lunch and were talking, someone actually came to visit them.

She was a very gentle woman, dressed in a light red silk satin pomegranate skirt with auspicious patterns, and wearing only a single gold-flecked begonia silk flower on her head. Her graceful posture made people feel good about her.

When Shen Juanqing saw this woman, he thought to himself: She's finally here.

The woman placed the prepared gift aside, a gentle smile on her face and eyes full of tenderness. "Greetings, Young Master Shen." She bowed with her hands clasped.

Shen Juanqing, not one to refuse a smiling face, said, "Young Master Ning, please forgive me for being unable to get out of bed to return your greeting."

Shen Bei'an sat to one side, Ning?

This surname sounds familiar.

Ning Yao gently shook her head, "It's alright. I'm here on behalf of my grandfather to visit Young Master Shen, and I'm also genuinely worried about him. Young Master Shen should get some rest."

She stood up, crossed her hands under her wide sleeves, and looked at Chen Juanqing with clear eyes.

"This must be Fifth Master Shen, and this one, I guess, must be the younger brother of Young Master Shen, Third Young Master Shen?" Ning Yao spoke again, seeing the two people next to Shen Juanqing.

Shen Beian looked at the woman curiously, "Hmm."

Upon hearing this voice, something flashed in Ning Yao's eyes. She bowed, but unlike the regular bow she had performed to Chen Juanqing, this was a formal bow, a gesture of respect from a junior to an elder.

"Yao greets Fifth Master Chen." Her voice was different from her gentle tone earlier, now carrying a greater sense of respect.

"Please rise, Second Young Master Ning." Shen Bei'an was quite used to this.

Ning Yao stood up and bowed to Chen Juanchi before sitting down and beginning their mutual flattery.

Chen Juanchi remained silent, sitting to the side and serving tea and water to the three of them.

Ning Yao was very skilled at conversation. She talked for almost half an hour without revealing the purpose of her visit, only saying that her grandfather and the alliance had come to visit Shen Juanqing.

As the heir of the Shen family in the capital and the successor of the power behind Yi Shuihan, one of the five major forces on Fuyun Island, Shen Juanqing was naturally the one whom the Medical Alliance would come to visit.

"It should have been my brother who came to visit Young Master Shen, but something unexpected happened to him, so I had Yao come in his place. Please forgive me, Young Master Shen." Ning Yao sat in the chair, her hands still crossed on her thighs, her eyes filled with tenderness.

She has a pair of eyes that are both charming and innocent.

No matter who you look at, you seem to be filled with deep affection, yet it's clear to you that it's just your own illusion.

Chen Juanqing knew that the main topic was finally about to begin.

Shen Bei'an listened from the side, feeling somewhat drowsy. He had never heard anyone say such things in his more than twenty years of life.

I suddenly heard a perfunctory response that I hadn't heard in over twenty years.

It's truly a case of "hearing one thing from you is better than hearing another," it's utter nonsense.

As expected of the people of the Empire, who are technologically more advanced and have never experienced hardship!

Fifth Master Shen: Indeed, there are some things that are not suitable for me to do.
