"Ahem... I see." Han Zhanlei almost burst out laughing, but he touched his nose to cover it up.
Hearing this, Cao Hu's brow furrowed even more deeply, deep enough to trap a fly. As if struck by a sudden thought, his eyes sharpened, becoming extremely serious, and he angrily said, "Chen Jinhua, your thinking is wrong. You're a soldier; in the army, you must obey orders. How can you listen to your family in everything? What if she tells you to kill or commit arson?"
"Report! My Xiao Wu is so kind, how could he do such bad things? Besides, I promised Xiao Wu first, and one shouldn't break their word. It has nothing to do with orders from the army... Furthermore, Xiao Wu isn't stupid, and neither am I. How could we kill or commit arson?" Chen Jinhua suddenly became anxious, earnestly and loudly refuting Instructor Cao's assumption. Then he pursed his lips, muttering the last sentence under his breath.
Cao Hu was speechless for a moment: "You..." He was really a blockhead.
"Pfft..." Han Zhanlei couldn't help but burst out: that Chen Xiaowu, when she was seven or eight years old, was taken back to her family and became the head of the household in less than two months. Who in the family didn't listen to her? He really wanted to find an opportunity to get to know her, but it seemed that the girl didn't want to be a soldier, she just wanted to make money.
"Alright, Chen Jinhua, can you control yourself now?" Now that Han Zhanlei had figured out the reason, he didn't want to keep him here any longer; they still had training to do.
"Report, I still want to fight. And being able to challenge only one person a day is a bit too few. If it were four or five, I could finish challenging them all very quickly," Chen Jinhua boldly stated his thoughts.
Xiao Wu said that you can't hide anything in the army; you have to be honest. But if no one asks, don't say anything. If you're going on a mission and don't know what to say, just stay silent and keep quiet. You can even act mysterious.
"You say the rules of the army are yours?" Cao Hu glared at Chen Jinhua, annoyed. But she showed no fear or reaction, as if she had already gotten used to Instructor Cao's tone.
"Hahaha...Alright, Chen Jinhua, you can go out now." Han Zhanlei was really happy today, and since there was nothing else to do, he simply told Chen Jinhua to leave.
According to the information gathered, the Chen family—the six siblings and their parents—are all very interesting people.
Chen's parents hold the patriarchal mindset common in China today, but their character isn't entirely bad. Furthermore, even among powerful and high-ranking officials, some people think this way, so we shouldn't be too demanding of Chen's parents.
As for the Chen siblings, apart from the eldest sister Chen Chunhua, who is more mature, stable, and normal, the other five are all very individualistic.
After everyone left and the door closed, Cao Hu paced back and forth in his office, still furious. "Old Han, why did you let her out? Is she a soldier? She listens to that Xiao Wu in everything."
"Old Cao, I understand what you mean, but you're overthinking it. You can tell at a glance that Chen Jinhua is a person with a pure heart and great wisdom in disguise."
She can see through people's good and bad qualities more clearly than most people; she's very vigilant. Haven't you noticed? She knows what to say, and she doesn't say everything. Besides, she definitely knows that her sister doesn't have bad intentions before she listens.
"Hmph!" Cao Hu knew, of course. That's right, that's right, he was once again helpless against a soldier. He had encountered several before.
Han Zhanlei burst into laughter again; he really had a hard time dealing with Lao Cao's personality.
...
The Huo family, the richest family in Beijing.
"Dad, do we have a business in Jiang City, Nan Province?" Huo Kai, who was home from university for vacation, finally seized the opportunity to ask his father, Huo Changsheng, who was busy with company affairs every day.
"What? Xiao Kai, you're now interested in company matters? Aren't you only a sophomore in college? You said you'd wait until you graduated." Mr. Huo, the boss of Changsheng Group, asked with great interest.
Before this, this spoiled son who had always just wanted to drive and have fun actually cared about company matters.
"Tell me, is it true or not?" Huo Kai asked anxiously.
"There's a project that's still under consideration and hasn't officially started yet," Huo Changsheng said quickly without hiding anything.
The environment in Jiang City has basically been cleaned up by the higher-ups.
Those who do business are most afraid of local bullies. It's not that they're afraid, but they just don't want to deal with those people unless necessary. It's best to make money peacefully.
Jiang City in Nan Province is a major waterway transportation hub connecting the north and south of the country, and he does indeed plan to open a branch company there.
"Then let's get started quickly and set up a branch office over there," Huo Kai suggested excitedly.
"Oh, why?" Huo Changsheng asked, a little curious.
"What do you mean 'why'? Old Huo, don't you know your son was rescued in Jiang City? Xiao Kai was thinking that if there's a branch in Jiang City, he could go and thank his benefactor." Mrs. Huo, Guan Hezhi, couldn't stand it anymore.
"Oh, right, okay, I'll have someone start the project there after the New Year." Huo Changsheng also remembered that he was terrified when he heard his son's story.
“It’s settled then. I’ll be in charge and go there for an on-site inspection,” Huo Kai volunteered.

In the southwesternmost border region of China, in Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, in Dian Gao City, a typical residential house has a basement.
A man in his thirties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a lab coat, was conducting a chemistry experiment. Rows of glassware were piled up on the lab table.
The man's movements were casual yet practiced, clearly indicating he did it often, or perhaps he had it memorized. He didn't seem particularly concerned, nor did he appear worried about making mistakes.
The phone rang in the lab.
"Hello, have you found out yet?" The man with gold-rimmed glasses picked up the phone and asked lazily, knowing who was on the other end.
"The Lu family from Beijing." The voice on the phone belonged to a fifty-year-old man, and on the other end was Brother Liu from the Golden Club.
"Heh, I also thought it was him at first glance, so it's not him then." The man with the gold-rimmed glasses chuckled sinisterly.
"Why not?" Brother Liu on the phone asked, puzzled.
"Whether you reason it's him from the positive side or the negative side, it's him no matter how you look at it. So it can't actually be him, and therefore the conclusion is that it is him." The man, unusually interested, began to analyze and explain.
"What do you mean 'is it'? It is! It must be a member of the Lu family." Brother Liu on the phone was confused. Wasn't this the person?
"That's what those people want me to think, and many smart people would think the same. But am I just an ordinary smart person? No, I'm a genius, hahaha..." The man picked up a test tube to look at the results, laughed, and after he finished laughing, continued, "You don't need to know why. How much can your brain know? You can continue to investigate other people for me."
"Alright then," Brother Liu on the phone could only agree.
