Chapter 834: Chicken Flying and Eggs Falling
Encouraged by Gu Yin's words, Chu Yan couldn't wait to go abroad and expand his territory!
"Your thinking is even more impressive than those people in the political work department! Honey, doesn't that mean we won't be able to see each other for a very long time? If I finish my mission ahead of schedule, can I come back earlier?" This trip will last for several years, and we can't come back usually. The chances of us meeting are very slim. Chu Yan felt a little heavy-hearted.
However, as Gu Yin's partner, he couldn't be complacent and couldn't hold her back. Personal feelings seemed insignificant in the face of matters of national importance.
Gu Yin was quiet for a while, then took Chu Yan's hand and said, "During this time, let's rest well. After that, it may be a very long time before we can meet again. The speed at which we meet depends not on you, but on me. You know, you can never earn enough money, but you have to be the first one. Once you're stable over there, the higher-ups will gradually send people over. So, whether we can meet depends on whether my experiment can be successfully completed. If you regret it now, it's not too late."
Before meeting Gu Yin, Chu Yan was the heir to the group. After meeting Gu Yin and learning about her intentions, he always put her first. After she began to show her talent, he was prepared to be a good wife. After all, given his family's situation, it wasn't appropriate for him to pursue a career in the public sector. However, he never expected that he would end up handing over his business to the state.
“What is there to regret? I have no regrets. It has always been my wish to fight alongside you. Ah Yin, you have to know that I am also a member of the Muqiang team. You are so powerful that I am afraid of holding you back. But in your field, I am useless. All I can do is make money. Now that the country values me and I can stand on the same side as you, I am very happy, really happy.”
Gu Yin chuckled upon hearing this: "That's good. Grandpa Chu, what do you think? Do you agree? If you agree, you'll have to sign an agreement. But since Uncle Chu isn't going abroad, your family's company will still be run by you and will belong to you. All of Chu Yan's profits from his overseas trip will belong to the country." Gu Yin wanted to confirm this one last time.
Old Master Chu looked at his wife, son, and daughter-in-law. Seeing that they had no objections, he nodded and said, "Let's do it the way the higher-ups say. They're almost in their graves, but I didn't expect they'd still be of some use. Sign it."
"I'll talk to the higher-ups later, and I'll probably have about two weeks of leave to recuperate. When that time comes, I'll have to go back. My return means Chu Yan will also have to go abroad, so we need to make the necessary arrangements as soon as possible." Time is tight, and Gu Yin doesn't want things to be like this, but many things are better dealt with as soon as possible.
The Chu family members nodded; they were aware of the matter.
After leaving the study, everyone else went about their own business. The old lady called the two patients to the pavilion to lean against the soft recliners, and then brought them some freshly prepared food.
"You two are patients now, so don't think about work or studies. Just clear your minds and rest. Eat and drink as usual, okay? This is a blood-nourishing medicinal soup that Auntie just made. You eat first. There's also chicken soup simmering over there. For your own good, Grandma reluctantly took one of the first batch of babies to stew. Drink more of it later!"
The old lady was really ruthless. In the past, when the family ate chicken, the first five batches would not be touched. The chickens that were killed were the ones raised on the farm after the fifth batch.
Gu Yin looked up upon hearing this: "Won't those two chickens go crazy?"
The old lady sighed, "He's not crazy, he's just a little depressed. He hasn't come out for a walk yet. Your grandpa is playing with them. Don't worry about him, just drink your drinks."
Gu Yin: "...This is really terrible, I'll have to drink another bowl later!"
"Pfft, cough cough cough." Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh.
The old lady pointed at her, then shook her head helplessly and left.
After everyone left, Gu Yin explained, "It's not that I have no compassion, it's just that the first batch wasn't hatched from their normal eggs. Instead, we used special drugs to create artificial eggs and then hatched the chicks from them. Otherwise, look, even though Grandma had surgery, they didn't go crazy. Usually, if we touch the second batch, that clucking chicken would chase us all over the yard!"
Chu Yan smiled and poked her cheek: "You're right, eat more later."
Seeing his expression, Gu Yin coughed lightly: "You just took the pills, so you don't really need to eat so many nourishing things. You're too weak to handle such tonics. Grandma is just worrying too much."
Chu Yan grasped her thin wrist and shook his head: "It's all according to the doctor's prescription. You don't need to worry about being too weak to take the medicine. You've suffered a lot this time, and you lost so much blood. You have to replenish your body."
So much blood...
Gu Yin looked at him and saw his sincere eyes. Her gaze then shifted to the space between his eyebrows: "Your crescent moon mark, I remember it hasn't appeared for a long, long time, has it? How come it's reappeared now?"
Chu Yan remained silent for a while, originally not intending to speak, but seeing Gu Yin's unwavering gaze, he leaned back in his chair, looking at the misty sky over Beijing, and decided to be honest.
"I don't know what happened. After being struck by lightning, I ended up in a strange but high-tech place, more mysterious than those science fiction movies. There was a woman there, but I can't remember who she was. I stayed there for a long time. She was busy working, seemingly repairing something. She said I was the one who broke it and punished me by making me copy the rules. After I finished writing, her thing was repaired, and then I came back. I can't remember anything else. I know things aren't simple, but I feel powerless and can't do anything. She's too powerful. My memory tells me that I tried to resist several times, but she suppressed me each time. As for who she is, where that place is, and how I got there, I have no idea. I have absolutely no memory of it."
After returning, he tried to recall what happened there and wanted to record those strange things, but the more he thought about it, the faster the memories faded. He might not remember them when he woke up tomorrow.
After saying that, he turned to look at Gu Yin: "Do you believe what I said?"
Gu Yin snapped out of her daze: "Hmm? Hmm! I believe it! The world is full of wonders, especially after I went there, I believe that even more. But how did you know I lost a lot of blood?"
"I saw it, no, it seems like someone told me, was it the doctor?" Chu Yan frowned. Was it the doctor?
When the doctor diagnosed her with severe blood deficiency and significant blood loss, Chu Yan was still asleep. Gu Yin understood immediately.
"It must be what the doctor said, to eat the medicinal soup first, otherwise it will get cold and we won't be able to eat it." Chu Yan gave the answer himself, then picked up the bowl and handed it to Gu Yin.
