The next night.

After the children had all fallen asleep, He Lin took the mother and son home.

"An'an, get up, we're home."

He Ning'an spent the whole day in the botanical garden and fell asleep as soon as he got in the car.

On the way, Yu Lian excitedly told He Lin about everything that happened in the botanical garden.

It's been so long since I've seen An'an so lively and energetic; it feels like I've gone back to when he was five or six years old.

"I've settled everything in, Teacher Shi. Shall I go with you tomorrow morning?"

"No need, you go to work. I've contacted Senior Brother Ning Su."

"I just want to stay with you, what should I do?"

"Sure, but you don't need to be so wary of Ning Su. She's already married."

"I know, it's not because of him."

"Okay, let's go together then."

Anyway, it's just a meal and a chat, it won't take more than a few hours.

Whether it was because Cotton and Candy were barking too loudly, Yu Lian had just calmed the two dogs down and made sure they wouldn't disturb the neighbors when all the children woke up at once.

He Ningxi walked over, feeling wronged, and hugged her mother's leg tightly, refusing to let go.

He Ningze's eyes were full of cuteness: "Mom, did you bring it?"

"I brought it, but I'll play with it after school tomorrow; it's too late now."

After calming down the children, she finally had time to tidy herself up.

Just before entering the bathroom, An'an knocked on the door: "Mom, thank you, I'm so happy. You don't have to worry about me anymore."

"Okay, go to bed early."

He Lin leaned against the headboard, watching the door close: "This personality definitely doesn't come from me. He hesitates for ages before saying thank you to his own mother."

"Yes, yes, come with me. Go to sleep now, stop looking."

"Okay, hurry up."

late at night.

Holding his sweet and soft wife in his arms, He Lin felt all the fatigue and longing of the past few days vanish.

He mentioned Teacher Shi's unusual behavior, but Yu Lian didn't take it to heart.

After all, if someone really needed her help, they must be desperate, and she would be happy to lend a hand.

In short, He Lin's concerns did not bother her.

The next day.

In the morning, He Lin took the child to school, and Yu Lian was also ready.

The couple set off after having breakfast.

Ning Su sent an address; it was not far from their location.

Upon arriving at the destination, Yu Lian immediately spotted Teacher Shi and Ning Su not far away.

After getting out of the car, she didn't wait for He Lin and walked straight over.

"Teacher Shi!"

"Oh! Yu Lian, it's been so long! I'm glad you're safe and sound."

"Teacher Shi, I'm sorry to have troubled you. I'm doing well."

Ning Su interrupted their seemingly endless greeting.

"Alright, alright, let's save these things for later. I've found a tea room, let's sit down and chat."

"Okay. By the way, Ms. Shi, let me introduce you. This is my husband, you've met him before."

"I remember, I remember. I heard he's a big boss now, that's amazing!"

Yu Lian said modestly, "Not at all, it's just doing some business. Let's go then."

Yu Lian waved to He Lin, signaling him to walk to her right.

Teacher Shi is in good health; even though she's old, she doesn't need a cane or anyone to help her.

The tea room was not far away. The four of them arrived at their pre-booked spot and sat on the third floor to enjoy the view and drink tea.

Yu Lian took the initiative to ask, and Shi Aiguo had no intention of hiding anything.

Just as Ning Su went to the restroom, he said:

"I'm so sorry, Yu Lian, but there's something I might need your help with. Actually, I'm here to help Ning Su. The raw materials company he works for is in trouble; they're having cash flow problems and can't sell their raw materials. I can offer some small assistance, but I can't turn things around, as you know. So I wanted to ask you to help your senior brother out. It's embarrassing to admit, but at my age, I'm shamelessly asking you for help..."

As the old man spoke, his mood gradually somber.

Yu Lian waved her hand, indicating that there was no problem.

"Teacher Shi, my senior brother and I were classmates, and he took good care of me in the past, which I remember. However, while I can cooperate, the quality of the raw materials on my senior brother's side also needs to be up to standard, otherwise please don't blame me for being official in the end."

Shi Aiguo nodded hurriedly: "Of course, of course, I've checked it all, the quality is fine. I have confidence in your senior brother's character. Please, I'm begging you, give him a chance. Whether he can seize it or not is his problem. Just follow the rules."

With Teacher Shi's words, Yu Lian could help with peace of mind.

"Okay, I'll take care of it as soon as I get back. Don't worry, I definitely won't implicate you."

Shi Aiguo felt relieved after resolving his inner conflict.

When Ning Su returned, Shi Aiguo was telling her embarrassing stories from their school days. The atmosphere was harmonious and there was no sign of anything amiss.

When it was time to eat, the group changed locations and had a meal together, which was a pleasant one for both hosts and guests.

After the meal, the group didn't chat much. Teacher Shi brought her granddaughter along, and Ning Su had arranged for a personal assistant to accompany her, as the elderly woman didn't want to disturb their work.

After confirming several times, Yu Lian and He Lin left first and went back to their respective companies to work.

I was away for a while, and a lot of work piled up.

When Xiao Xu saw the boss arrive, he quickly followed.

"Sister Nian, you wanted to see me?"

"Go and notify the purchasing department, materials department, quality department, and production department to hold a short meeting."

"Okay."

Today, Progressive Pharmaceuticals is seen as a lucrative target by raw material suppliers, and the company has established a complete and stable supply chain in recent years.

However, cooperation with Europe needs to be gradually launched, which requires expanding raw material production and increasing supply.

The meeting was short, and the final decision was that three days later, Progress Pharmaceuticals would issue a tender notice, accept supplier applications within a specified period, and then conduct a series of procedures such as qualification review, testing, and price comparison, and finally announce the winning bid results.

"Sister Nian, so fast? Didn't you say it would take a while?"

"Since I don't have anything else going on lately, let's finalize this matter first to avoid things piling up and causing chaos later."

"Okay, I'll go down and have someone prepare."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After dealing with the raw materials, Yu Lian calmly processed the documents on the table.

Since Zhuo Heng's accident, she has been burdened with more and more problems.

Yu Lian intends to cultivate a capable backbone, but she is still observing him and this matter cannot be rushed.

In the afternoon, ten minutes before the end of the workday.

Xiao Xu came in with the documents he had just compiled.

"Sister Nian, we found him. Mr. Li is in Singapore now, but it seems he's filming a movie."

This news was hard for Yu Lian to believe; she had thought Li Yanshen would continue to work in his field.

"Yes, the survey said that he was chosen by the director because of his good skills. Look at this picture, it's a photo of him filming an action scene, but the distance is a bit far, so you can't see his face clearly."

Yu Lian took the photo and looked at the figure hanging in the air waving a stick; it was indeed Li Yanshen.

That explains his use of the word "fight" that day.

"Alright, now that he's settled, there's no need to interfere anymore. Let's go home."

"Okay, then I'll be going now, Sister Nian."

Xiao Xu left excitedly, and Yu Lian picked up her bag and walked out of the office.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw He Lin already waiting downstairs.

"You're up so early today?"

"I came here specifically to accompany you after get off work. By the way, Mom said we'll go to your parents' house for Mid-Autumn Festival this year, so the three families can spend it together."

He Lin hesitated for a moment, then added, "Your sister is going too."
