Chapter 338 You really got lucky!
In the study, the old man looked at Gu Yin: "The thing you made, if we were to mass-produce it, with so many people across the country, it wouldn't be possible to make it quickly. But every day of delay means one more day of danger for some children. So the higher-ups want some companies to produce it together. I've registered you. Take a look and see if you want to take it on. If you do, I'll arrange it for you. After the report is submitted, the higher-ups will review it as soon as possible, and then, after the materials plan is approved, it will be made within the stipulated time."
Gu Yin's side doesn't have a factory capable of producing it, while the Zhou family does, but their factories are all in Hong Kong, so it's basically hopeless.
"Does your family own a factory in this field?" Gu Yin had been venturing into real estate in recent years, but she really didn't know anything about the Chu family's other businesses.
Chu Yan nodded: "Yes." His family started out in the machinery business.
"Then let's give the spot to the Chu family, and forget about my family."
Xie Ming also had his own selfish motives. He was mainly trying to get this list for the Chu family. Although the Chu family was rich, they had not yet entered the sight of the top leaders. If they did well this time, they might be able to get some exposure from the top leader.
"Because you made this thing, I tried to negotiate for you. The higher-ups decided to give you 1% of the profits from the sale. However, since this is a project that benefits the country and its people, the sales amount won't be too high, so you won't get much money. I hope you don't mind."
Gu Yin didn't care; she really didn't lack money right now.
"The Chu and Xie families benefited from your help this time!"
After the three finished discussing business, they came out of the study.
Before she even went downstairs, Gu Yin heard what sounded like strangers talking in the living room downstairs, which meant that guests must have arrived.
Sure enough, when they reached the stairs, they saw that Mr. Xie and his wife were no longer on the sofa in the living room below. Sitting on it was a beautiful woman with an outstanding temperament and a girl who was about three years older than Gu Yin.
The two were talking to the old lady when they heard the noise from upstairs, and all three of them looked up.
Gu Yin noticed that the daughter resembled the old lady, and assumed that the other woman must be Master Xie's youngest daughter, and the girl must be her stepdaughter.
Xie Fangyan stood up, looked at the old man, and greeted him with a smile: "Dad!"
The girl also greeted him, "Hello, Grandpa."
The old man nodded: "What brings you here? Aren't you busy during the National Day holiday?" In the past, she would accompany people to even small performances, let alone holidays.
Xie Fangyan smiled and shook his head: "This time, I'll have the deputy regimental commander lead the team. I'll rest for a while; I've been a bit tired lately."
The old lady disagreed, saying, "You, you, dance is your life! Health is the foundation of everything. If you're not healthy, no matter how much you love dancing, it's useless!"
Xie Fangyan nodded: "I know, that's why I'm on vacation." He then looked at Chu Yan beside him.
"Ah Yan, it's been so long! I heard from your mom that you went abroad. How come you have time to come back?"
"Hello, Auntie. I've come back for some business."
Chu Yan didn't say anything, so it was a private matter. Xie Fangyan didn't ask any further questions, but instead looked at Gu Yin, whom she had noticed long ago.
Who is this?
Chu Yan introduced, "Gu Yin is here as a guest with me."
Xie Fangyan carefully looked Gu Yin up and down.
"What a bad habit!" the old man frowned and scolded.
Xie Fangyan wasn't angry. He sat down next to Gu Yin, smiled, grabbed her arm, and said enthusiastically, "How old are you? Are you interested in learning to dance? I think your proportions and muscles are perfect! How about joining my troupe? I'll definitely train you to be a beauty in the military! You could even go abroad! What do you say? Are you in or not?"
Gu Yin knew that Xie Fangyan's scrutiny was a professional habit, so she wasn't angry. However, she still shook her head at Xie Fangyan's suggestion: "I'm sorry, Auntie, I don't study dance, and I don't know much about it."
"It's okay if you don't understand! Just follow me, and I guarantee I'll teach you!"
"Alright, alright, Ayin isn't learning dance, don't ask anymore!" The old man hurriedly stopped her. What if Gu Yin got interested if she continued? These are the future pillars of the country, they should shine in important positions. He didn't look down on people who learn dance. If he really did, he wouldn't have let his daughter learn it.
Gu Yin is indeed very talented. At such a young age, she was able to develop anti-abduction devices and the eye membrane chip concept. That concept wasn't just a pipe dream; it even had some data to support it! It's a pity that such a talented person would choose to study dance!
"Why can't I learn it!" Xie Fangyan was unhappy. She had finally found someone who was outstanding in every way, how could she let him go so easily!
Gu Yin had no choice but to explain herself: "I have to go to class and don't have time to learn dance. I'm sorry."
Xie Fangyan laughed and said, "That's no problem. After you're discharged from the army, you can go to whichever university you want! As long as you can achieve something in dance!"
Gu Yin shook her head: "But I have to participate in competitions, training camps, and study textbook knowledge, so I really don't have time. Most importantly, I really have no interest in dancing."
Xie Fangyan grew anxious: "How can you say you're not interested if you haven't even tried? Why don't you come with me to the team next month and we'll see?"
Gu Yin shook her head again: "I have to attend the winter camp for the biology competition next month, I really don't have time."
Zhu Xiaoxiao said helplessly, "Oh my god! After the winter camp, she will join the national team and represent the country in international competitions! The glory is right in front of her, and you want her to give up the glory that is within her reach to participate in a tough and tiring dance? Who would be willing to do that? Although she may not be selected, what if she gets lucky and it's just a lucky break? Don't hold her back!"
Chu Yan, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow: "A-Yin isn't just a lucky cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. She's a truly talented person. She got first place in biology, chemistry, math, and physics and made it into the provincial team. What other lucky cat has such good fortune? Zhu Xiaoxiao, not everyone is like you. You just happened to step in dog poop!"
Zhu Xiaoxiao's face stiffened. She was a senior at Huada High School. Originally, based on her grades, she wouldn't have been able to get into Huada High School. However, three years ago, Xie Fangyan married her father, and with the help of the Xie family, she got into the school. When Chu Yan said that, Zhu Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed, but she recovered after a second.
She looked at Gu Yin in surprise: "Wow, you're so amazing! Then Mom, you absolutely can't hold others back."
Xie Fangyan had no idea that Gu Yin was so capable. After hearing Chu Yan's words, he had no choice but to give up.
"Then you should work hard and become a scientist! I believe in you! Good luck!"
Gu Yin smiled and nodded upon hearing this. The Xie family members were all quite nice, except for that girl.
Xie Fangyan thought of something and said with a smile, "By the way, Ayan, in a while, Xiaoxiao will be applying to a university in the United States. When you're there, please keep an eye on her for me. We're quite worried about a girl being alone abroad, but with you there, her father and I feel much more at ease!"
Chu Yan was surprised: "She's not taking the college entrance exam? Oh right, even if she gets her score, she won't pass. She can only go abroad. Let me make it clear that I'm very busy, and I'm not at school most of the time. The teachers are strict, and I often fly to other cities to assist the teachers. So you'd better arrange for someone to accompany her."
The old man coughed lightly, wanting to laugh but holding it back. Why was he speaking such blunt truths?
Zhu Xiaoxiao said with a forced smile, "It's alright, I'll bring someone with me. If there's anything I don't understand, I hope Brother Yan will take good care of me!"
"You think Harbin University would take care of a third-rate university like yours? I..."
Gu Yin couldn't help herself and tugged at him, telling him to calm down and not make things too ugly.
Pulled back by Gu Yin, Chu Yan shut his mouth: "Alright, alright! We'll talk about it later!" It's hard to say whether he'll even be at school by then.
