Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

For Chinese people, the Spring Festival is the biggest festival of the year, and at this time, they always want to go out and relax.

Therefore, Yang Ping declined all interview invitations regarding the new weapons, including television interviews.

He left no message, but that one shot shocked all the countries.

The entire nation of M fell silent.

But China wouldn't let it go so easily. Their newspaper quietly became popular. No one knows which pirated printing company was involved, but the originally limited edition of the US Times appeared in huge quantities all over the world without anyone noticing.

The more offensive the US mocked them, the louder the slap China delivered.

Soon, a global phenomenon arose: was this a firecracker?

You call this a firecracker?

Whose firecrackers are so loud?

Does it hurt the faces of people from country M?

Such remarks spread quickly.

The people in the US are furious. They were so pleased when they published the Times, but now they're so frustrated.

They knew perfectly well that China had escalated the situation, but there was nothing they could do, since they were the ones who actually wrote that article.

Now everyone is mocking us, and the country has lost face internationally. We can only endure it and remain silent.

Because China is no longer the China of the past. With the advent of new weapons, no one dares to underestimate this nation that has been passed down for five thousand years.

Two days before the New Year.

We invited relatives and friends to our new housewarming party.

A considerable number of people from the Flying Eagles team came, including Fu Wenyu and Fu Kexin, as well as Chen Ni and people from the Women's Association.

The top two leaders did not come, but they sent gifts.

Qiu Ling did come. She knew Fang Xiurong, and the two seemed to have a good relationship. They sat together and chatted happily.

Many people were particularly interested in the furniture in Fei Huainan's home.

Wei Yunfan then jumped out.

"These were all assigned to me by our captain. You wouldn't believe it, but our captain designed them himself."

Everyone was surprised, clearly not expecting that the captain of the Flying Eagles, known for his ruthlessness and iron-bloodedness, could design such beautiful furniture.

Wang Xuemin also invited his friends, Gao Liang and Yang Ping, to come as well.

Lin Miaomiao was also invited and came with her aunt.

Xu Manman was surprised that the Zhang family also came.

Zhang Hong, representing the Zhang family, brought gifts to Xu Manman's door. He thanked her and apologized at the same time.

He made many mistakes back then, but fortunately he didn't succeed; otherwise, he doesn't know what the future would have held!

During this time, the Zhang family treated him exceptionally well. His father was strict but reasonable, and his grandfather doted on his grandson, saving him all the good things so that he wouldn't miss out on any.

His mother was gentle and virtuous, and would cook all kinds of meals for him.

Moreover, after he returned, his mother's illness improved a lot. Now she is mostly lucid and does not easily have a relapse.

He would occasionally go back with his father and see his grandfather playing chess with his old friends in the courtyard from afar. When he pushed open the door, he could hear his mother and aunt chatting and cooking for them.

All of this made him cherish it all the more.

Especially after missing out for more than 20 years, Zhang Hong felt that everything he had achieved was hard-won.

Xu Manman didn't say anything, and Fei Huainan came over to invite him to sit down.

Regardless of whether Zhang Hong's actions were right or wrong, he was misled and made a mistake. However, his Zhang family bloodline still compels him to find out the truth before taking any further action.

Zhang Hong actually had the opportunity to take her away, but he didn't.

Given Zhang Hong's abilities, he could have gotten rid of her silently. Even if she had a spatial ability and could protect her child, it would definitely have been exposed.

Zhang Hong left himself an out and avoided becoming mortal enemies with Xu Manman.

Otherwise, he might be facing imprisonment now.

So, he can stand here now thanks to himself for not immediately making a move on her, but instead investigating her past.

A family dinner made many people secretly alarmed, as they all knew that several high-ranking leaders liked Fei Huainan, which they had only heard about before.

Seeing that two high-ranking officials had given gifts to Fei Huainan and Xu Manman, I was shocked to realize just how formidable their connections were, despite their seemingly ordinary backgrounds.

Just as the group was marveling at the gift, the third leader's gift was delivered.

The third leader returned for a few days and then left again. This has caused quite a stir internationally, and he needs to make the most of this wave of public opinion.

After the meal, Yang Zhixin came over and talked to Xu Manman about some issues with the publishing house. He also brought over her royalties.

He brought it over in a briefcase. Xu Manman opened it and saw that it was full of bags.

"Is it that profitable?"

She herself was surprised.

They have so much money!

Xie Zhixin looked helpless; this person had no idea just how famous he had become.

In addition to these, he also mentioned signing books for his fans.

Xu Manman knew that such activities often took place in later generations, but she didn't really want to participate. One reason was that she didn't have the time, and the other was that she had too many other things to do.

The researcher's matter is settled, but there's still a lot of work to be done at her foundation.

In addition, Xie Jingrong has been helping to keep an eye on the factory, so she also needs to carefully select people and promote some managers.

As Xu Manman was thinking, Xie Jingrong came over and hugged her arm.

Xu Manman smelled the alcohol and said helplessly, "How much have you been drinking?"

Fortunately, she had prepared a hangover soup in advance and was about to bring a cup to Xie Jingrong when she saw Han Zeyang carrying the hangover soup over.

"Sister-in-law, do you need anything?"

Xu Manman took the hangover soup and gave Han Zeyang a meaningful look. Han Zeyang blushed and quickly left.

She had previously felt that Xie Jingrong and Han Zeyang interacted in a way that felt different, and now it seems that she wasn't just imagining things.

She fed him some hangover soup, led him to a guest room, and wondered if she had the potential to be a matchmaker.

After finishing the meal and seeing the guests off, Wei Yunfan and the others didn't leave; they helped clean up everything.

The tables and chairs were arranged, and the dishes and chopsticks were washed.

As for Wang Xuemin and Fang Xiurong, Xu Manman naturally couldn't let them leave, so she took them directly to the room.

This room was personally prepared by Fei Huainan. It is elegantly decorated and has a huge desk next to it, which can allow two people to write at the same time.

A desk lamp and some old books were placed on the desk.

Fang Xiurong discovered that these were all rare books she had collected before being sent to the countryside.

The incident happened so suddenly that she was taken away, and she thought the books had been burned.

I didn't expect it to still be there.

Wang Xuemin was the same.

He didn't feel sorry for his big house; the only thing he felt sorry for was the house full of books he left behind. He never expected that a few of them would still survive.

On one side of the desk, there is an exquisite vase with several sprigs of white wintersweet in it.

This is Fang Xiurong's favorite saying. She believes that one should be like the plum blossom, loyal and unwavering, unafraid of severe cold and snow, and never changing one's original aspiration.

Looking at everything in the room, the couple's eyes quietly reddened.

They worked so hard to come back to support their child, but unexpectedly, they are now being taken care of by their child.
