Chapter 148 Accelerated Progress
"I'll do it, you go and drain the water!"
Before Shu Ran could say anything, Yun Xi took over An An's care.
"it is good."
Shu Ran nodded. As the diaper was opened, the faint odor gradually intensified. Who said that a baby's excrement doesn't smell? She, as the biological mother, would be the first to disagree. It was obviously extremely smelly!
Take out the baby bath tub with self-cleaning function, turn on the shower and start running water.
"Alright, I'll take care of it. You didn't get much sleep yesterday either, so tidy up and get some rest!"
Shu Ran was indeed a little sleepy. Her daily routine had always been regular, both before and after her engagement.
Unlike Yunxi, whose cultivation level is suppressed to the Qi Refining stage, she can still go three days and three nights without sleep without any problems.
"Okay, then I'll go downstairs and tell Uncle Feng."
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because once it was brought up, Shu Ran yawned several times in a row.
After changing into her pajamas, Shu Ran went downstairs in her slippers.
Just then, Shu Yifeng came back from outside with a newspaper.
"Uncle Feng, we're back. Dinner is as usual, but I'd like some crucian carp soup!"
The milky white crucian carp soup, topped with cilantro and pepper, is so delicious it'll make your eyebrows fall off!
"Okay, I'll get ready in a bit."
Holding the newspaper in his hand, Shu Yifeng continued, "Master, Hong Kong is going to be returned to China, and the mainland is currently negotiating with the government!"
"what?"
I instantly snapped back to reality, swallowing back the yawn that was only halfway through.
"Where did this news come from? Let me check the newspaper."
Even if it can't return this year, even if it returns next year, the year after, or the year after that, it's still more than 30 years ahead of schedule, and history has been changed.
No, it should be said that the world is developing at an accelerated pace!
"It hasn't been reported in the newspapers yet. You're not here, and neither is Li Chan. The housekeeper has already gone to the Chamber of Commerce meeting on your behalf."
Is the source of this information reliable?
This isn't a smokescreen; it might be ten or twenty years ahead of schedule, but this is over thirty years ahead of schedule—that's incredibly fast.
"Master, this is a compilation of recent mainland news reports by the steward."
Uncle Feng handed a thick notebook to Shu Ran and continued his report.
"In recent years, the mainland's military strength and technology have developed rapidly. What has been reported and showcased in the newspapers is almost on par with the level demonstrated by the United States. The return is inevitable, at the latest next year..."
He rambled on as he reported what the butler had told him. Uncle Feng wasn't very politically astute; he was just repeating what the butler had said. He used all his intelligence on cooking, so it was normal for him to have some shortcomings in other areas.
Shu Ran flipped through the notebook; every page contained reports of achievements clipped from mainland newspapers.
According to the Chinese people's way of doing things and habits, if three generations are shown, then behind the scenes it has developed to at least six generations.
So fast?
Shu Ran was somewhat dazed, hardly believing her eyes.
"Uncle Feng, give me an iced Muisin, I need to calm down!"
I sat on the sofa and flipped through the notebook from beginning to end.
The last time I contacted the mainland was when I was asked to bring the talent back. In the blink of an eye, three or four years have passed.
A sudden realization dawned on Shu Ran; she knew she couldn't rely on her old perspective anymore.
Everything is different now, with the high-tech products and data she provided as references.
Most of the talented individuals who were abroad and eager to return to China were safely brought back.
There are people and technical references.
Rapid development is not accidental, but inevitable.
After playing in the water with An'an for a while, I changed her into clean clothes and put her in her crib to sleep.
Shu Ran hasn't come up yet.
Yunxi activated the crib's safety features and went downstairs.
The cold coffee calmed me down.
Looking up, Shu Ran saw Yun Xi walking beside her. She looked up and said, "Yun Xi, you're here!"
"What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping!"
Sitting down next to Shu Ran, Yun Xi picked up the half-finished coffee Shu Ran had been drinking and drank it all in one gulp.
"I'll drink it for you. Try to drink less cold food these next couple of days."
Shu Ran didn't stop her; she took one sip and didn't want to drink anymore, but it was indeed refreshing.
"The port city is about to return to China!"
"I can't sleep. I'm very excited and agitated right now, and I'm trying my best to stay calm."
Shu Ran got up and paced back and forth in the living room before finally running to the kitchen.
"By the way, Uncle Feng, when will the butler be back? What's going on at the Chamber of Commerce meeting?"
While preparing tea and snacks in the kitchen, I heard Shu Ran's question.
"They've been gone all morning and should be back soon. Apparently, they're discussing the return to China."
Shu Ran couldn't sit still and really wanted to ask someone who knew the inside story.
Once she understood what had happened, Yunxi pulled the person into her arms and made her sit down on the sofa.
"Don't worry, since the mainland has put this on the agenda, it means they are very confident. Perhaps it will be returned by the New Year!"
"It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's just, how should I put it!"
Shu Ran couldn't describe her feelings either. The events written in history books were right in front of her, suddenly accelerating as if she were riding a rocket.
Amazing, proud, and a little smug, although few people know it, Shu Ran can say without any modesty that she was the one who brought about the change.
Who said standing in the light... cough cough, that's way off.
Shu Ran calmed herself down and quickly adjusted her state of mind.
Indeed, compared to honor, safety and freedom are more important.
Shu Ran loves her country, but she doesn't want to test human nature.
My afternoon nap was ruined; I was so busy calming down and thinking things through that I didn't even think to call and ask.
The butler waited until Shu Ran finished her afternoon tea and had some crucian carp soup before returning to Repulse Bay.
Yunxi went up once in the middle of the process, fed An'an, took her down and stayed for a while, and after coaxing her to sleep, she took her up again before coming down to keep Shuran company while she waited.
"Butler, how is it?"
Looking expectantly at Shu Jiayi, Shu Ran stared intently at him.
"...Internal sources say that the return plan was proposed during this year's National Day holiday and is expected to be completed before next year's National Day holiday...This is the meeting record I made."
Shu Jiayi: ...
After reporting the entire contents of the meeting, Shu Jiayi handed the meeting minutes to Shu Ran.
In other words, the port city will be returned to China by next year at the latest?
If Hong Kong is developing rapidly, how far away are Macau and Taiwan?
In my lifetime!
Witness the reunification of our motherland!
She wanted everyone to know she had done a good deed, but Shu Ran had to desperately suppress herself; the feeling was indescribable.
"We will fully cooperate with the mainland to facilitate Hong Kong's return to China!"
"Yes, master!"
It was already a result of Shu Ran restraining herself from laughing out loud.
After dinner, Shu Ran and Yun Xi went back upstairs together.
After learning about the history of the Xia Kingdom, Yunxi felt a sense of belonging as Shuran left, but she was still far from being as excited as Shuran.
Seeing Shu Ran so happy, a strange feeling rose from the bottom of my heart. Is this what national responsibility is?
It seems he needs to take some time to study those books.
