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

How much is left in the savings account?

Seeing that Miao Juan'er hadn't spoken after he asked, Wang Youyi asked again.

After saying that, he looked up.

Miao Juan'er was startled. She gave a dry laugh and said, "You know, we've had pretty high expenses all these years, so we don't actually have much left."

Wang Youyi frowned: "Did it cost so much money to send things to my parents?"

Miao Juan'er mumbled, "That's right! My parents have a hard time in the countryside. I always buy a lot of things, and the express delivery fee is expensive. Since we only send things a few times a year, it's natural to buy more."

Upon hearing this, Wang Youyi didn't say anything more. However, even if he bought a lot, the number of receipts was limited, and he had to use connections to buy many of them.

It shouldn't cost too much money.

"Then give me all the money later, and I'll see if I can get that house."

"However, there are many people buying houses, so we will have to pay an extra one or two hundred yuan. Once we have a house, we can earn money again. The main thing is that our family can move in."

Miao Juan'er gave another vague reply.

Upon hearing their parents' words, their son immediately became excited: "Mom and Dad, are we going to move to a bigger house?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Youyi was about to speak when Miao Juan'er slapped him: "Hurry up and eat! The house issue is still unresolved! It's not certain!"

Wang Jiancai's eyes instantly reddened. Miao Juan'er had just used force, leaving a red mark on the back of his hand.

Wang Youyi frowned upon seeing this: "The child was just asking casually, did you have to put so much effort into it?"

He looked at his son with heartache.

Upon hearing this, Miao Juan'er instantly exploded: "I'm doing this for you! It's all still up in the air, and who knows if buying the house will even happen! I'm disciplining the child. If you think I'm not doing a good job, then you can do it yourself!"

"Alright, you can stay home with the child by yourself! I'm going back to my parents' house."

After saying that, she packed her things and left.

Wang Youyi had never seen anyone with such a temper. He simply said, "My wife wants to go back to her parents' home."

His face was ashen as he looked at Wang Jiancai.

"Sweetie, your mother has gone back to her parents' home, we'll eat by ourselves."

On New Year's Eve, the military region was quite lively. Everyone sang the national anthem together, warmed themselves by the fire, and enjoyed watching many performances.

While Gu Xingbang and Fei Huainan were chatting, Xu Manman learned that the matter of attracting foreign investment had reached a stalemate, as most people were still not optimistic about China and had no intention of investing here.

Many factories are facing a shortage of funds.

If this continues, those factories will definitely go out of business.

At that time, tens of thousands of workers in the factory will lose their jobs, and the placement of these people will become the most troublesome thing for the leaders.

They must find a way to revitalize the factory.

After all, many of the factory workers are the breadwinners of their families, and losing their jobs would be a fatal blow to the entire family.

Fei Huainan wholeheartedly agreed.

Upon hearing this, Xu Manman immediately thought of venture capital firms in later generations. She felt that the foundation could develop a professional investment project.

Financing will be provided to factories that have a passion for producing quality goods for the people.

Before she came here, she had also looked up relevant information. During the reform, many factories went bankrupt due to a shortage of funds.

Some factories are truly a pity.

Some factories produce good products, but they are too conservative. If you want to invest, the factories must be reformed.

She just had this idea, and soon began to consider the possibility of implementing it. Before she knew it, it was time to go home.

Seeing that their master and mistress had not yet returned, they were really worried about the elderly couple and went out to meet them.

They had just turned a corner when they saw the elderly couple returning together, and the two of them helped them walk up to them.

"Master and Mistress, why are you going out so late!"

When Wang Xuemin and Fang Xiurong saw the two energetic young people, relaxed smiles immediately appeared on their faces.

"We're just going back to pick up some things."

The four of them went home together.

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Fei Huainan and Xu Manman drove the elderly couple back to the compound.

There are quite a few elderly couples here, including the master and mistress, so naturally they will bring Fei Huainan and Xu Manman to pay them a visit.

Originally, the people here were all connections for both of them.

As a result, the two young men climbed the ranks too fast on their own, especially Fei Huainan, whose military rank is now exceptionally high.

Therefore, New Year's greetings became just that—New Year's greetings.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the young man behind Wang Xuemin. It was the first time they had met their apprentice's wife, and many of them gave Xu Manman red envelopes.

Xu Manman received thick red envelopes from her master and mistress, as well as from Fei Huainan, in the morning. She hadn't opened them yet, but she didn't expect that these uncles and aunts would prepare more for her now that she was out.

Along the way, Xu Manman kept receiving red envelopes. It was the first time she had been so cherished, and it was a novel experience for her.

It's a coincidence.

When Wang Xuemin and his wife took Fei Huainan and his wife to pay New Year's visits, they encountered Wang Youyi and Miao Juan'er, who were also out paying New Year's visits.

They visited the same company again.

This is the home of the factory manager of the manufacturing plant where Wang Youyi works. He is a good friend of Wang Xuemin, and it was because of the relationship between the two families that Wang Youyi was allowed to work in the factory.

The two met at the door and were both taken aback.

Xu Manman didn't recognize either of them, but Fei Huainan did. After he gained his own connections, the first thing he did was investigate the matter of the teacher being sent to the countryside.

To his surprise, the teacher's demotion was reported by his own son.

He investigated the matter and found no other reason than that he was provoked and did it to protect his child.

Fei Huainan didn't care about the reasons. As a son, he was unfilial, disloyal, and unjust for reporting his parents.

Upon seeing the other person, he looked at his master and mistress with concern.

Wang Xuemin and Fang Xiurong had indifferent expressions, looking at Wang Youyi as if he were a stranger.

They didn't even exchange glances; once they identified the other person, they closed their eyes.

The factory manager, surnamed Jin, was very excited when he saw Wang Xuemin and Fang Xiurong.

"Brother Wang, sister-in-law, you're here! Come in quickly! I was just saying that if you hadn't come, I would have gone to your house to wish you a Happy New Year."

After the two returned, they immediately threw themselves into their work, as the research progress had been significantly slowed down due to the previous delays.

Even though they've been back for quite some time, we've only made phone calls to let them know; we haven't really gotten together yet.

If we have time during the Chinese New Year holidays, we'll make a proper visit.

When Wang Xuemin and Fang Xiurong entered Director Jin's courtyard, they greeted each other with smiles and then pulled Fei Huainan in front of them.

“This is my apprentice, you know him.”

Director Jin was taken aback at first, but then he remembered that Wang Xuemin had an apprentice who was a soldier and very capable.

Looking at it now, it's truly extraordinary.

"come on in."

As he spoke, he slipped Xu Manman a red envelope: "It's our first meeting, don't be so polite with your uncle."

Xu Manman accepted it without hesitation and thanked her sweetly.

Factory Director Jin looked at the young couple and was pleased: "You two are both good-looking, you're a good match."
