Now that they've all been reborn, who wouldn't be living life to the fullest?
Chapter 136 Gift Giving
In the morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the hotel curtains, casting a strip of light into the room.
Peng Yuanyuan woke up first.
She moved her body, and hiss—her whole body felt sore and weak, as if it had been disassembled and reassembled.
But my heart was full, filled with an indescribable sense of peace and...sweetness.
She turned to the side and looked at Su Yifeng, who was still sleeping beside her.
When he was asleep, his ridiculously handsome face appeared softer, his nose was straight, and his eyelashes were so long that they made people envious.
As Peng Yuanyuan looked at it, her face felt a little hot again, thinking of last night... She quickly shook her head, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
She quietly reached out her finger, wanting to touch his eyelashes.
The moment the finger reached out, Su Yifeng opened his eyes.
He wasn't dazed from just waking up; his eyes were clear and bright, and he locked onto her immediately.
Peng Yuanyuan was so startled that she pulled her hand back, and her face turned red instantly.
"Good morning, Mr. Su."
She whispered, burying her face further into the blanket.
Seeing her shy expression, Su Yifeng reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Still calling me President Su?"
Peng Yuanyuan stiffened for a moment, then relaxed and leaned softly against him.
"Then... Yifeng?"
"Um."
Su Yifeng responded and patted her smooth back: "How does it feel?"
"I'm...I'm alright." Peng Yuanyuan's face turned even redder, and her voice was barely audible. "I'm just a little...tired."
"You'll get used to it next time," Su Yifeng said casually, as if it were something very natural.
Peng Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat. Next time... She softly hummed in agreement, her fingers unconsciously tracing circles on his chest.
"Are you... busy today?"
"When am I free?"
Su Yifeng didn't say much: "Get up, let's have breakfast first, then I'll take you back to school."
The two got up and washed up.
Peng Yuanyuan's movements were a bit slow; she was clearly not feeling well.
Su Yifeng didn't urge her, but leaned against the door and watched her.
While eating breakfast, Peng Yuanyuan sipped her porridge, occasionally stealing a glance at Su Yifeng.
The sense of unreality lingered, but there was more of a bittersweet acceptance of fate.
My cousin is right. A man like that can't belong to just one person.
Being able to stay by his side... seems... not bad.
"Go to work hard." As he dropped her off at her dormitory, Su Yifeng said, "Call me if anything happens."
"Mmm." Peng Yuanyuan nodded, hesitated for a moment, then quickly kissed him on the cheek before running into the dormitory building without looking back.
Su Yifeng touched his face and smiled.
This little girl has finally figured it out.
……
At noon, Su Yifeng went to Chen Weimin's house.
He was carrying a file bag containing a copy of Liu Yunyan's test report, a partial case summary compiled by Ye Wenqian, and a newly "freshly printed" sample copy of the Nancheng City News.
Chen Luoling opened the door, wearing a casual dress. Her eyes lit up when she saw Su Yifeng.
"Brother Yifeng."
"Luo Ling." Su Yifeng nodded. "Is Godfather here?"
"In the study." Chen Luoling stepped aside to let him in.
Chen Weimin was indeed in the study, reading documents.
Seeing Su Yifeng enter, he put down what he was holding.
"Godfather," Su Yifeng called out.
"Sit down." Chen Weimin gestured to the chair opposite him. "You said you had something important to discuss, about food safety?"
"Yes." Su Yifeng sat down, placed the file bag on the table, and showed just the right amount of solemnity and a hint of indignation on his face.
"It's a bit of a coincidence, but it's also possible... that God couldn't stand it anymore."
He paused, then began to speak:
"You know, I recently took over a small printing factory, planning to take it slow. But a couple of days ago, I suddenly received an urgent order from the *Nancheng City News*, needing to rush a batch of newspapers. I was curious, so I glanced at the contents..."
Su Yifeng took out the sample copy and pushed it in front of Chen Weimin.
The front-page headline read: "Cases of urinary stones in infants and young children surge, suspected to be related to a certain brand of milk powder."
Chen Weimin immediately frowned and quickly glanced at the newspaper.
"When I saw the contents, I was shocked."
Su Yifeng's tone was filled with lingering fear and anger:
"If this were true, how many children would be harmed! I immediately contacted the newspaper and met with their editor-in-chief. It turned out they not only had the case data, but also even stronger evidence!"
He took out Liu Yunyan's test report from the file bag, turned to the key conclusion page, and pointed it out to Chen Weimin.
"These tests, commissioned by them and conducted by a reputable laboratory, detected high levels of melamine in Sanlu milk powder. Melamine is an industrial raw material and is absolutely unsafe to consume, especially by infants!"
Chen Weimin's face darkened as he looked at the clear data and conclusions in the report.
Having spent a long time in officialdom, he could immediately discern the weight of this report and the potential upheavals it might unleash.
"Is this newspaper...reliable?" Chen Weimin asked in a deep voice.
"Reliable. The editor-in-chief is Ye Wenqian. She is a person with journalistic ideals and dares to speak the truth. She has suffered before for reporting on forced demolitions, but she did not give in."
Su Yifeng said, "She showed me the medical records they've collected; there are over a thousand cases, spread across several provinces. This is no coincidence!"
His face held the righteous indignation typical of young people:
"Godfather, this is a huge matter! When I got the report, my first thought was to tell you! This newspaper will be published the day after tomorrow. I can't stop it, and I didn't even think about stopping it."
I think this kind of unscrupulous behavior should be exposed! Those unscrupulous companies should be punished!
Chen Weimin looked at Su Yifeng's excited and "righteous" face, tapping his fingers lightly on the report, and remained silent for a long time.
The study was very quiet.
After a long while, Chen Weimin slowly spoke: "Yifeng, you did the right thing in this matter. Telling me immediately was the right thing to do."
He picked up the report and newspaper and read them carefully again.
"Leave the things with me for now. Tell Editor Ye that the newspaper... can be published as usual. But if any official departments get involved in the investigation, tell her to fully cooperate and tell the truth."
"I understand, Godfather!" Su Yifeng nodded vigorously. "That's what I told her too. We've done nothing wrong, so we have nothing to fear!"
Chen Weimin nodded, his expression softening. "Your printing factory... taking this order is indirectly doing a good deed. Be more careful in the future."
"I understand, Godfather," Su Yifeng replied obediently.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Su Yifeng got up to take his leave. Chen Luoling saw him to the door.
"Brother Yifeng, is it serious?" Chen Luoling asked softly.
"It's a bit serious, but Godfather will handle it." Su Yifeng ruffled her hair. "Stay home and take care."
"Mm." Chen Luoling nodded.
After Su Yifeng left, Chen Luoling returned to the house. Chen Weimin was still sitting in the study, deep in thought, looking at the report and newspaper.
Secretary Sun walked in at some point and stood quietly to one side.
"Little Sun," Chen Weimin suddenly spoke, his tone unreadable.
"Can you believe such a coincidence? Yifeng just took over the printing factory and then received such a 'major' order? And coincidentally, the newspaper's editor-in-chief is an 'idealist' who also has such solid evidence?"
Secretary Sun carefully chose his words: "Secretary, what you mean is..."
"My godson is no ordinary person."
Chen Weimin smiled, his eyes deep:
"He's...giving me a huge gift, a significant achievement. Food safety and infant health are major issues concerning people's livelihoods and politics. Whoever can lift the lid on this and handle it properly will leave a lasting impression on the people and the authorities."
He paused, then looked at Secretary Sun: "Tell me, should I investigate how deeply he was involved in this?"
Secretary Sun asked cautiously, "Then...should I look into it?"
Chen Weimin waved his hand, picked up his teacup, and took a sip: "Not for now."
He looked out the window, his gaze distant.
"When I adopted him as my godson, it was not only out of gratitude for him saving Luo Ling and because I felt sorry for him having no parents... but more importantly, I always felt that this kid had a certain energy about him that was somewhat similar to mine when I was young."
"Now it seems I was right. They were able to discover such a matter of national importance, and they dared to think and act, they had the skills, but also had a bottom line."
Chen Weimin put down his teacup:
"Regardless of whether he planned this beforehand, the outcome was good. He knew how to present the credit to me; this kind of thoughtfulness and courage is not something an average eighteen-year-old would possess."
"What about the newspaper office..." Secretary Sun asked.
"Treat it normally. Investigate what needs to be investigated, and provide support where necessary."
Chen Weimin said, "Since my godson wants to be this 'behind-the-scenes good guy,' then I'll accept his kindness. Let's see what surprises he can bring me next."
Secretary Sun nodded knowingly: "Understood, Secretary."
Chen Weimin picked up the test report again, his gaze sharp.
Sanlu... this behemoth is probably about to experience an earthquake.
The fuse for this earthquake was lit by his godson, whom he had only recently adopted.
That's interesting, really interesting.
……
Su Yifeng got into the car, lit a cigarette, and slowly exhaled the smoke.
His godfather's reaction was exactly what he expected.
That seasoned scrutiny and final acquiescence both showed that he understood and accepted this "gift".
The achievements were presented, and the bond with the "godfather" was strengthened even further.
Next, all that's left is to wait for the newspaper to publish it and for the storm to begin.
He took out his phone and sent Ye Wenqian a text message: "Proceeding as planned. Published the day after tomorrow."
Ye Wenqian quickly replied: 【Yes, President Su! We are ready!】
