Mr. Han and Mrs. Han greeted Zhen Yu’s arrival with no surprise and naturally invited her to wash up and have dinner.
During the al, everyone first talked a bit about Han Jiayang’s middle school exams, and then Mr. Han changed the topic and expressed his gratitude to Zhen Yu.
"Xiao Yu, thanks to you for allowing them to stay with you during the ti leading up to their middle school exams. It’s because of you that they had a quiet environnt to study hard in! Regardless of how Jiayang does on the exams, at least we did our best, right?"
"Uncle Han, you’re too polite! The house would have been empty anyway, so it’s good it was made use of," Zhen Yu modestly replied.
"Nonsense!" Han Youliang didn’t say more, just rebutted her statent and directly switched topics.
"As everyone is here today, I’ll take the opportunity to share two pieces of good news!"
As soon as Han Youliang said this, Han Jiayang and Han Mingyue both looked towards him.
Zhen Yu felt a bit uncomfortable after his remark about ’family mbers,’ but she still supported him by acting as if she was listening intently.
"I’ve discussed it with your mom, and the other pharmacy store is set to open on July 1st!" Mr. Han paused, "And another thing! I’ve purchased a residential building close to the new pharmacy! It cos fully furnished with appliances! Jiayang, you’ll pack your things with your mom tomorrow, and we’ll move!"
"Do we have a house to live in now? Does this an my brother and I don’t have to stay in the dorms anymore?" Han Jiayang asked instinctively.
"Yes! You won’t!" Han Youliang firmly stated: "Starting from September, both of you will commute! I’ve even bought you both bicycles!"
"Alright! I have no problem with that!" Upon hearing he would also get a new bicycle, Han Jiayang imdiately nodded in agreent.
Han Mingyue seed normal on the surface and followed suit, saying, "I can do that too!"

After that day, Zhen Yu’s life continued as usual.
Until Friday, when she suddenly received a call from Factory Director Lu!
He didn’t say much over the phone, just asked if Zhen Yu could spare half a day on Sunday to visit the dairy factory, as he wanted to have a eting to decide on trademark and packaging improvents.
Naturally, Zhen Yu had ti! Even if she didn’t, she would make so!
After hearing about it, Han Mingyue insisted on accompanying her!
His reason seed legitimate—he wanted to visit the dairy factory to see what it was like and gain so insight!
Seeing that he was serious and not joking, Zhen Yu agreed.
So, early on Sunday, the two took the bus towards the dairy factory.
---
During the eting, of course, Zhen Yu couldn’t bring Han Mingyue with her, so he took the opportunity to wander around the factory alone.
Having seen photos of the factory before renovation, he now subconsciously compared it to its current state. Upon comparison, Han Mingyue couldn’t help but admire Factory Director Lu’s managent skills!
The office was clean and brightly lit, and the building was surrounded by lush greenery. Working in such a place would surely lift the workers’ spirits!
Walking around, Han Mingyue reached the front gate of the dairy factory.
---
He looked around, and upon noticing a building surrounded by overgrown grass not far diagonally across, Han Mingyue couldn’t help but ask the gatekeeper, "Excuse , what is that place over there? Why does it look so desolate?"
"Oh, that used to be a state-owned pharmaceutical factory!" The old gatekeeper smacked his lips and spoke with a sigh, "It seems like it started going downhill from ’96! First, production was cut back, then it stopped completely, barely making it to ’98! I heard it was taken over and ended up in private hands!"
"Oh!" Han Mingyue nodded and asked further, "And since it went private, has it just been left like that?"
"Who knows! Anyway, aside from the gatekeeper, it seems like there’s no one around!"
"Thank you!" Since the gatekeeper didn’t know more, Han Mingyue didn’t press further. After thanking him, he went back inside the factory. However, a seed had been planted subconsciously in his mind.
All it needed was a trigger to sprout and grow into a towering tree...
---
anwhile, in the eting room, Zhen Yu was discussing product packaging improvents with a group of old n from the dairy factory.
Perhaps due to Factory Director Lu’s excellent groundwork, the trademark improvent proposal was unanimously supported—passing the decision was unexpectedly smooth!
Then the discussion got stuck on packaging improvents.
Everyone was positive about improving the packaging, but—everyone’s taste was different after all.
So when Zhen Yu presented two design options and Factory Director Lu also brought out two, so preferred one, others preferred another, and the n suddenly started quarreling. It got to the point where Zhen Yu, being female, felt a bit dumbfounded...
Just as she was about to propose resolving it through voting, her cellphone suddenly rang.
Thus, Zhen Yu nodded at Factory Director Lu, "I’ll step out to take a call. You all continue."
The idea seed to coincide with what Factory Director Lu had in mind. He simply said, "Go ahead! Let them argue for a while, and when you co back, we’ll have a vote to make a decision!"
"Okay!"
After acknowledging, Zhen Yu pressed the answer button and Zhang San’s Voice imdiately ca through.
"Xiao Yu, it’s Sunday today! Do you have ti?"
Zhen Yu imdiately replied with a keen tone, "Is it sothing important?"
"Yes! Rember you asked to look into the ranch for you? Just now! A friend called while by Fuyu Ranch. He happened to mingle with soone who owns a ranch! They said they have solid information!"
"Solid information?"
"I got the impression that he can make the decision himself! It’s likely a relative or a friend entrusted him with the sale!"
"But I’m not in the city right now! When is the person with the news available to et?"
"They won’t co into the city! They said, if you’re serious, go directly to Fuyu to find them! They can even roast a whole lamb to welco us! Haha!"
Zhen Yu scratched her head, "Let think... I’ll call you back before lunch!"
"Sure, take your ti! If we go, I’ll borrow a car. We can drive there ourselves—more convenient!"
"...Three, you’re amazing! Being able to borrow a car! But I’m more curious about when you learned to drive?"
"Hey! I knew how to drive even before I t you! I’m an old driver now..."
