Gu Hongxun froze, his lips pressed together, not daring to utter another word.
Uncle Qi's words have already made his attitude clear: he is serious about Bai Qianmo and even has plans to marry her.
The inappropriate thought that had crossed my mind was immediately suppressed by fear.
Gu Jueye got into the car and reached out to hug Bai Qianmo.
"What did you talk about with Gu Hongxun just now?" Bai Qianmo asked.
"It's nothing, just a senior saying a few words of advice and concern to a junior."
Bai Qianmo didn't ask any more questions, but judging from Gu Hongxun's pale and bloodless face when the two of them were talking just now, her seventh uncle's "admonitions and concerns" were probably quite profound.

Shortly after Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo left, two tall and imposing men entered the room where Bai Qianmo was staying.
They walked to the dining table and stared at the bouquet of flowers for a while.
"Ruthless destruction of flowers?"
One of the men held up his own small scissors: "Seventh Master only said to trim the branches and leaves of the flowers."
But they all understood the deeper meaning behind the words.
"Seventh Master is really something, he's clearly a piece of aged vinegar, but he insists on pretending to be Nongfu Spring!"
What's the story behind "Nongfu Spring"?
The man, snip-snip with scissors, said with a smile, "So pure and innocent!"
Another meaning is: pretending to be innocent!
The two people trimmed a bunch of roses into pieces, then stopped, satisfied. They took out their phones, snapped two photos, and immediately posted them online.

Gu Jia
Two beautiful women sat chatting under a parasol in the courtyard.
"You're not leaving again this time, are you?"
"Okay, I'm not leaving."
Qin Lin smiled and said, "You were the most idealistic person when you were a child. Over the years, you have supported Yunnan and Guizhou and done a lot of good things there. Everyone has witnessed the development there. You will definitely be promoted when you come back this time."
Song Qing chuckled and said, "The main reason I decided to come back is because I feel I'm getting a bit old. My son isn't as outstanding as your A-Ye. I'm afraid that all these years I've been focused on work and have delayed his marriage."
Thinking of her son, Qin Lin's expression became somewhat unnatural.
That boy has always been an outstanding role model in other people's eyes since he was a child, but only she, as his mother, knows that he is a stubborn mule at heart and will never listen to his parents' arrangements.
"Although your Cong'an was a bit naughty when he was young, he has always listened to you. My son, on the other hand, is quite rebellious."
Song Qing took a sip of tea, smiled, and glanced at Qin Lin: "It seems we're getting old. At this age, we have no other thoughts but are only concerned about our son's marriage. But A-Ye is such an outstanding boy, there are plenty of girls who want to marry him, so you really don't need to be in such a hurry."
Qin Lin sighed helplessly: "Every family has its own problems. My son is such a scoundrel. He doesn't listen to his parents at all. You know, Qian Ning is such a good girl. She's been well-behaved and sensible since she was little, and she's beautiful. She's waited for him for so many years, but he just can't stand her. Fang Yuan even came to see me yesterday. You didn't see the look on her face. She looked like she wanted to eat me alive."
"Fang Yuan has always been like that since she was a child. She's very protective of her children. Besides, she's a girl, and she's waited for A-Ye for so many years. Now that the marriages of the two children are settled and everything is on A-Ye's side, it's natural that she's a bit more irritable."
“I understand her feelings. I’ve tried everything I can think of, but that kid A-Ye just won’t listen to me. Plus, those two old ladies at the old house blindly spoil him. I’m really powerless.”
Song Qing pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "That means it's not fate. I'm not here to reminisce today."
Qin Lin frowned and looked at Song Qing: "What? Are you here to arrange a marriage?"
Song Qing laughed: "Not really. I'm just worried about my rascal. I'm planning to hold a tea party at home. Some of the young women in the circle who are trying out marriage will come. You can try to get A-Ye to come and take a look. Maybe he'll find his soulmate among them."
Qin Lin frowned and pondered for a long while.
Seeing that her son and Bai Qianmo were getting more and more entangled, and that girl Ye Qianning was not favored by A Ye, it was time to create more opportunities for him to meet other girls.
"Song Qing, don't keep it to yourself. If you know any good girls, introduce them to my son. If it works out, I'll definitely give you a big gift."
Song Qing smiled and pursed her lips, thinking carefully: "A person who can be a match for A-Ye must also be exceptionally outstanding, and most importantly, the two of them must be attracted to each other."
Suddenly, a person flashed through Song Qing's mind, and she exclaimed "Huh?"
“I do have someone in mind. Speaking of which, that girl is the most special one I’ve ever met, except that there’s a bit too much of an age gap between us.”
"A relationship between an older woman and a younger man? I'm not that conservative. A three or four-year age difference doesn't matter. As long as Ah Ye is happy, nothing else matters."
Song Qing didn't explain further: "Let's make this clear first, that girl is my goddaughter. If things go well, we'll be in-laws, so you, as her mother-in-law, can't mistreat her."
"Don't worry, as long as this girl and A-Ye get together, we'll be even closer. Given our relationship, how could I mistreat her?"

Back to the capital
After leaving the airport, Bai Qianmo got into the car that had come to pick up Gu Jueye and went straight to the research institute.
Gu Jueye was very busy. As soon as he returned, someone from the Chinese Academy of Sciences invited him to attend a discussion. Bai Qianmo was also busy, staying in his study and studying the recent stock market trends.
As she predicted, this year, due to the wildfires in State A, global weather disruptions and droughts caused reduced food production, leading to a surge in the grain, cotton, and textile stocks she was eyeing.
