Various forces are stirring. Some have used every means to find out about Director Deng Guanghui's actions and immediately sensed something was amiss. Others are keeping a close eye on the Kyoto Foreign Affairs Office, because all people and matters outside the office need to be registered and verified there.
There are no secrets in this world. As Yang Yuning landed safely in Kyoto, news of his return to the capital spread secretly to those who wanted to know, in various forms.
In the research institute's guest room, Deng Guanghui said to Yang Yuning, "Don't worry, no other guests will be entertained while you're here. I'll gather everyone together to meet with you in a little while. If you encounter any strangers during your stay, please inform the security personnel immediately, and they will handle it promptly. Also, higher-ups may want to meet with you; I'll arrange a specific time. Do you have any requests? I'll make the arrangements."
An Moxue said, "I don't have any, just look after Mr. Yang."
Yang Yuning thought for a moment and said, "If possible, I want to go back to my family's ancestral home and pay respects to my ancestors once before I start working. As for the rest, you can arrange it as you see fit; I'm not picky."
"Okay, I'll go gather the manpower and arrange the meals first. You all rest for a bit!" Director Deng Guanghui said before leaving the room.
Only An Moxue and Yang Yuning remained in the room. An Moxue said, "Mr. Yang, I'll leave for a bit after I've checked the security here, but don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible. Also, are these two boxes with me or with you?"
Without even thinking, Yang Yuning blurted out, "I'll go with you! There are too many people around here, I'm worried about leaving you alone."
An Moxue thought to herself, "It doesn't matter if I leave it here; the real information is all in my space!" How could she possibly leave the information anywhere without a truly safe place?
"Okay, I'll take it then. I'll give it back to you when it's safe. Keep the weapon I gave you with you. You rest for a bit, I'll go out and patrol first."
"good."
After Yang Yuning finished speaking, An Moxue also left, leaving Yang Yuning alone in the room.
He sat in the room, looking around. It was said to be the best accommodations here, with a private bathroom, a simple bed and table, plus a wardrobe. Although it looked tidy, it was still too basic and couldn't compare to places abroad. But looking at all this, he felt only peace and a tranquility he had never experienced before.
An Moxue inspected the area and discovered some drawbacks, which she secretly noted down. Just then, she ran into Deng Guanghui, who was coming out of the guesthouse manager's office, and the two smiled at each other.
Deng Guanghui spoke first: "Mo Xue, you've accomplished such a big thing. If you have any requests, just tell me as long as I can fulfill them."
An Moxue said bluntly, "There really is."
Deng Guanghui asked with great interest, "Oh? Tell me about it."
An Moxue pulled Deng Guanghui to a secluded spot and whispered, "If you have any small inventions that you would discard as trash, like household appliances or machinery for civilian use, I would like to produce and sell them if possible. Other types are also welcome. But don't worry, 70% of the profits will be donated to your research institute for research and development."
Deng Guanghui became even more interested and asked, "How do you produce it?"
"You'll see when the time comes. Just know that I have the ability and financial resources to do this, and that's enough. Give me a chance, Uncle Deng." After saying that, An Moxue playfully clasped her hands together and cupped her hands in a gesture of respect.
Seeing her like this, Deng Guanghui said helplessly, "You're calling me 'Uncle Deng' all of a sudden? I remember someone was just calling me 'Director Deng' a moment ago. This is just a matter of using people now and then, it's not a good idea!"
An Moxue looked at him earnestly and asked, "Oh, that's not important. Aren't we just trying to avoid unnecessary trouble? Just tell me, is it true or not?"
Deng Guanghui said with great interest, "There really are, probably quite a few. It's about the factory. How are you going to resolve that?"
Upon hearing this, An Moxue thought there was a chance. How could she miss such a golden opportunity? She said, "Let me tell you a little secret. I have a small investment abroad, but it's been reported to the authorities. As long as I consolidate some of the funds and open a factory back in China, the problem will be solved. But first, you need to provide me with the materials that can be produced. I'll find someone to handle the rest."
“Okay.” Deng Guanghui readily agreed. As long as she could handle the rest, there was nothing he couldn’t do. Besides, she said she would donate 70% of the profits back to the research institute, which meant she would pay for the other expenses.
He wasn't just a bookworm who only knew how to study; he deeply understood the importance of financial support for research.
When An Moxue heard him agree, she happily said, "Then it's settled. I'll get someone to start making preparations."
"You didn't even ask what kind of research they're doing, or how they plan to open a factory?"
"Don't worry, it's just a matter of a few machines. We can buy them later. That's the least important thing. What's important is what you have on your side that you can produce and sell. There will be a professional team to evaluate the project later." Anyway, her goal is future heavy industry production.
When Deng Guanghui heard her say that, he became skeptical about her talk of making a little money abroad, but he became more interested in the cooperation she mentioned.
Deng Guanghui said, "Okay, I'll get started on this after I arrange things with Yang Yuning. How's it going abroad?"
"It's too strict. The restrictions on researchers abroad are really strict, which also shows the importance of scientific research. I really hope that when I wake up, we can close the gap between us and them. If you could go to some developed countries abroad, you would know how big the gap is between our country and them." An Moxue became more and more sad as she spoke.
Deng Guanghui said, "We will catch up with them one day. We just need to work hard. Poverty is not scary. What's scary is that we ourselves can't see the reasons for our poverty and are still not striving for progress."
An Moxue said, "Uncle Deng, let's work together, things will get better. There are a few places in this guesthouse that you should have your people keep an eye on. One is the kitchen; I think their division of labor is unclear, making it easy for someone to sneak in and do something. Another is a guest room with a broken window, which is on the first floor, making it even easier for someone to sneak in. The last one is the back door; your people will understand once they go and check it out."
Upon hearing this, Deng Guanghui was alarmed and said, "Well, I'll make the arrangements in a bit. What are your plans now?"
