Seeing that her partner cared about her, Yao Tongxu immediately forgot everything, ran over eagerly, and sat down next to her partner with her heart pounding.
Seeing that her younger brother's eyes seemed glued to Li Youyou, Yao Tongjia didn't go over and found a seat instead.
He Jiale also saw his brother's strange appearance. He casually grabbed a piece of pastry to eat and then returned to his seat. Xiao Gengwu finally finished his data.
He sat down next to Yao Tongjia and asked, "Don't you need to go to the garment factory?"
"I'm not going today. I'll have Xinyue go by herself in the next couple of days. I went to the pharmacy this afternoon to have Youyou watch them grind medicine powder. I'm planning to go to the military region tonight. Are you coming?"
Xiao Gengwu went over and took two pieces of pastry, then made them again: "Go, don't they say that newborn babies change every day? Let's go see if our little sister has gotten fairer!"
After finishing one piece, He Jiale went over and took another, sitting down next to them: "I'm sure I'll become fairer today. That's how the mischievous devil was when he was born."
"She looked like a ghost the day before yesterday, but she was incredibly cute the next day!"
"And now?"
"He's a complete troublemaker now, I don't want to see him at all!"
He Jiale asked in a low voice, "Sister Tong, where did you come from? And you even kidnapped someone here?"
"I went to give her brother acupuncture, and while I was at it, I brought Youyou here to do my hard labor. We haven't found a pharmaceutical factory yet, so I can only work at the pharmacy for now."
Yao Tongjia pulled out a check: "I made money again!"
He Jiale took the check and glanced at it casually: "How many zeros was it again? Seven zeros, 15 million M yuan? Sister Tong, you're amazing! Brother Xiao, are all your people this amazing?"
Xiao Gengwu took the check, glanced at it, and smiled, "Tongtong is the most amazing!"
He Jiale couldn't take it anymore: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have been here. I'm leaving, I'm leaving!"
After He Jiale left, Xiao Gengwu stuffed the check into Yao Tongjia's bag: "Are you going to give this to He Jiayin?"
"Yes, only through give and take can things last. Besides, it's useless to me to have it; it can be of greater use in her hands!"
Xiao Gengwu rested his head on Yao Tongjia's shoulder: "What am I going to do if I can't keep up with the speed at which you're making money?"
"I'll support you. We didn't have any money before, but we earned it and spent it together. Now that we have more money, why should we be so calculating?"
Xiao Gengwu's eyes were full of smiles: "There's no need to worry about it, then I'll rely on you!"
"I'll take care of the money. You just need to use your strengths to contribute to the country, strive for a higher position, and gain greater prestige. Then who will dare to mess with us?"
Yao Tongjia patted Xiao Gengwu's head: "Don't worry too much about what happened at the pharmacy last time. Just focus on your research!"
Yao Tongjia could tell that Xiao Gengwu was a little unhappy last time, feeling that he couldn't help, but many things take time and there was no need to worry about it!
Xiao Gengwu nodded: "Don't worry, I know what's important. I will become a person of great importance to the country, so that everyone knows you are my bedmate, and no one will dare to do anything to you!"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "That's right. Even before you've grown up, we can still draw on your strengths, so you don't have to rely entirely on yourself!"
After seeing Li Youyou off, Yao Tongjia drove to deliver the check to He Jiayin. When Yao Tongjia arrived, He Jiayin's secretary was waiting for her downstairs.
When Yao Tongjia parked the car, she came up and opened the car door for her: "The minister heard you were coming and was going to come down and wait for you himself, but I was afraid it would be too conspicuous!"
"I just got this job, so I'd better serve you well, or the minister won't let me off the hook!"
Yao Tongjia took the young lady's arm and said, "There's no need for you to come down and wait for me. I can just go up. I don't need you to open the car door for me. Don't scare me to death!"
The secretary's smile deepened: "How can I not serve you well? Sister Yin will fire me!"
"You're so capable, Sister Yin can't bear to part with you!"
"By the way, the minister asked me to tell you that she had someone find out some information. Lu Ang, the one who had your pharmacy shut down, has some shady dealings with that woman in the office."
Yao Tongjia recalled seeing that familiar figure from behind that day, and her heart skipped a beat: "Is Lu Ang married?"
“Of course we got married, he’s 25 this year!” Yao Tongjia nodded. People get married very early these days. Even someone as busy as He Jiayin managed to get married before she turned 25.
"His wife must have some status, right?"
"Yes, Lu Ang's wife is a researcher!"
"Researchers? They probably can't always be on time for get off work, right?" Many researchers are the kind who can't leave the lab once they're in.
Even Xiao Gengwu, when he occasionally encountered a bottleneck, would work overtime with the other two, simply because their projects were all self-directed and there were few people involved.
The three of them worked together with one heart. Xiao Gengwu was very quick-witted, and under his command, their research progressed quite quickly, so they rarely had to work overtime.
But it's different in other departments; overtime is commonplace there, which explains Lu Ang's intention!
Do they have children?
"I heard there's a girl being cared for by her grandmother, who apparently doesn't like her much and wants them to have a boy. You know, there are now regulations regarding family planning!"
Yao Tongjia immediately understood. With the implementation of the family planning policy, their entire family, all public employees, had to comply with the policy, but their daughter-in-law was a researcher.
When she'll give birth isn't up to them to decide. Is Lu Ang planning to use a surrogate mother? That's incredibly audacious!
Upon arriving at the office, He Jiayin had just finished seeing everyone off. She took the check from Yao Tongjia and excitedly grasped Yao Tongjia's hand, saying, "Tongtong, thank you!"
There's no way around it, there's just not enough foreign exchange right now. She's under a lot of pressure every day, there are so many things to buy, her desk is covered with documents urging her to buy things.
But where would she get the money to buy them abroad?! 15 million M dollars wouldn't actually buy that many items!
He Jiayin tugged at Yao Tongjia's hand: "Can your joint venture garment factory export?"
Yao Tongjia nodded: "It can be exported. I have already controlled the quality. We have prepared a batch of clothes to send over specifically for export!"
"But Sister Yin, the profit margin on clothes isn't as high as that on cosmetics. When are you going to give me a factory? I already did some advertising last time!"
"Once another batch of goods arrives, the advertising effect will be about the same. If we run out of goods to deliver, that'll be quite a sight!"
He Jiayin picked up a stack of documents and looked them over: "What do you think of this factory?"
