The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

After arriving in Kyoto and arranging accommodations for the Boy Scouts, Hua Yan went to visit Hu Xiang, the secretary to the mayor of Kyoto. She had previously spoken to him about arranging schooling for these boys.

Hu Xiang has indeed taken this matter to heart and has already made arrangements.

In fact, Hua Yan was casting a wide net for this matter, just in case it didn't work out. She had inquired with Wen Lan, the wife of Men Bu Hui, and talked to Chen Yanqiu, the wife of Chu Mo Sheng.

However, Hu Xiang had already replied to Hua Yan, saying that there was no problem and that she should just bring her people over.

Hua Yan brought gifts, and Kong Wen drove to Hu Xiang's house.

"Jiu'er!"

The person who opened the door was Hu Zhiang. Although he knew Hua Yan would be coming beforehand, he still couldn't suppress the smile on his face and the excitement in his heart.

"Hey, what are you doing at home?"

Hua Yan never expected to see Hu Zhiang.

"Come in quickly, I'll explain in detail in a bit."

Hu Zhiang took the things from Hua Yan's hands and ushered her into the house.

"Jiu'er is here!"

Hu Xiang and his wife Zhihui came out to greet them.

"Hello Uncle Hu, hello Aunt Zhihui."

"Okay! Okay! Sit down quickly."

Zhihui pulled Huayan to sit on the sofa in the living room.

"You're here, why bring so much stuff?"

"Hehe! I went to Japan after the New Year and brought you some things from there."

"You silly child, you always think of us no matter where you go."

Wisdom held Huayan's hand, unable to get enough of her.

"Hey, I brought you something too, but I didn't bring it over. I was thinking of visiting you in the next few days!"

Hua Yan didn't bring Hu Zhiang any gifts. She did plan to visit him in the next day or two to see how his training was going and to talk to him about her thoughts.

Hu Zhiang was a little disappointed when he heard that he wouldn't receive a gift, but when he heard that Hua Yan was going to visit him, his heart melted.

"It's okay, I'll go with you to get it in a bit."

Hu Zhiang wanted to see what Hua Yan had brought him. He treasured everything Hua Yan gave him.

"You silly child, why are you asking for it on your own initiative!"

Zhihui was at a loss for words, and looked at Hu Zhiang reproachfully.

"Jiu'er is thinking of me. If I don't accept her, wouldn't I be hurting her? Isn't that right, Jiu'er?"

Hu Zhiang's self-righteous demeanor amused everyone.

"That's right, I put a lot of thought into picking out a gift for Hutu Ge!"

Hua Yan clung to Hu Zhiang's arm, the two appearing as strategic allies. She had no idea how much Hu Zhiang longed to hold her in his arms.

Hu Zhiang is now a grown man, but Hua Yan is still an innocent young girl. He can wait for her to grow up, but he cannot accept missing out on her again.

After exchanging pleasantries, Hua Yan brought up the purpose of her trip.

"Uncle Hu, I need to go and complete the enrollment procedures for the school you arranged for me in advance, right?"

"Okay! It's the weekend today, I'll take you tomorrow. After we finish the formalities, you can wait two days until school starts."

Although this was a big deal for Hua Yan, it was just a small matter for Hu Xiang.

"Thank you, Uncle Hu, for solving my big problem."

Hua Yan clasped her hands in a fist and thanked them.

"It's my honor that you think of Uncle Hu when you need something. What grade are you in? I'll have them arrange your classes in advance."

Hua Yan gave a brief introduction to the Boy Scouts, but didn't mention herself.

"how about you?"

"Uncle Hu, I took the college entrance exam this year and applied to Yenching University in Kyoto. I have already received my admission notice for the Department of Economics."

Hua Yan spoke of the earth-shattering news with a calm and collected demeanor.

"what?"

The three asked in unison.

Hua Yan smiled, nodded to the group, and told them they hadn't misheard.

"Jiu'er, you're amazing! Children your age are only in first or second grade. Haha! Zhihui, I never thought we'd have the chance to meet a legendary child prodigy."

"Hey! Who says otherwise! This is only what Jiu'er told me herself. If anyone else had told me, I would have been skeptical."

Zhihui looked on with a sigh.

"I thought it was amazing that your brother Zhi'ang got into university, but I didn't expect that he's nothing compared to Jiu'er."

After hearing Hua Yan's words, Hu Xiang suddenly realized that Hu Zhiang wasn't so outstanding after all. He had previously marveled at how remarkable his son was, mastering all the courses in just two years and getting into a prestigious university. Now, he realized that what he considered excellence was nothing to boast about in front of truly outstanding people.

"Huh? Hutu Ge is taking the college entrance exam too?"

Hua Yan was overjoyed to hear this news; Hu Zhiang could finally change the hidden wound of being uneducated in his previous life.

Seeing Hua Yan's excited expression, Hu Zhiang knew she was happy for him, so he raised his eyebrows smugly and nodded.

Which school did you apply to?

"National Defense University".

What's your major?

"Intelligence major, minor in combat command."

Hua Yan clapped her hands in delight. How could Hu Zhiang be so understanding? He had chosen majors that resonated with her. She had even planned to mentor Hu Zhiang, guiding him towards intelligence and combat skills, but it turned out he had chosen those very fields.

Unable to contain her excitement, Hua Yan hugged Hu Zhiang and spun him around in a frenzy. This scene perfectly exemplified the meaning of surprise and delight.

Hu Zhiang was overjoyed that Hua Yan was so happy, and he was incredibly excited as well, because nothing could make him happier than seeing Hua Yan happy. Even finding his family after being abducted hadn't made him this excited.

Hu Xiang and Zhihui were also surprised that Hua Yan would be so happy for her son. They looked at each other, both surprised and delighted.

"Uncle Hu, Aunt Zhihui, I need to talk to Brother Hutu about something. Can I borrow him for a while?"

After saying that, Hua Yan pulled Hu Zhiang into his room. Actually, she wanted to go into the study, but considering that a mayor's secretary would have many confidential documents, she gave up the idea.

"Hutu, I was planning to discuss this with you when I visited you tomorrow or the day after, but now we can have a proper talk."

Hua Yan pressed Hu Zhiang down into a chair and said in a serious tone.

Looking at Hua Yan's adorable face, Hu Zhi'ang felt a warm current flow through his heart. In his past life, Hua Yan was also close to him, but there were no romantic feelings between them; she only treated him like family. He rediscovered that long-lost feeling, but he didn't want to stay there; he wanted to take it a step further.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Hu Zhiang knew that what Hua Yan was going to say was definitely related to his major.

"Ahem! Hehe! Confused Brother, it's like this. I recruited a group of retired soldiers. Their individual abilities are outstanding, especially in combat and reconnaissance."

I have now formed two teams: one is responsible for information gathering, with the mission of "national prosperity and peace," and the other is responsible for security and external operations, with the mission of "world peace."

......"

Hua Yan shared all her thoughts with Hu Zhiang without reservation, without any reservations.

Hu Zhiang looked at her without saying a word. He knew that Hua Yan was telling him all this not only because she trusted him, but also because she had a plan for him. He just needed to keep listening.

In his past life, Hua Yan was also formidable and had formed a similar team, but that was only after he followed her. Unexpectedly, in this life, Hua Yan is still just a child, yet he already has such ideas.

Hu Zhiang wondered if Hua Yan, like him, had also awakened her memories of her past life.

In her previous life, Hua Yan was also outstanding, but not as stunning as she is in this life. Her appearance is a game-changer, unmatched by anyone. Therefore, Hu Zhiang's suspicions are not without merit.

"Brother Hutu, you probably know what I'm thinking. I want you to lead these two teams. Although someone is in charge now, I want to hand them over to you in the future. That way, I'll feel more at ease."
