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

Meng Qihui was somewhat surprised, and his expression showed some emotion.

He looked at Gao Yuanshan with a somewhat guilty expression.

I thought you were still angry.

“Mingxuan gave me those materials, and I didn’t think much of it. But it’s because of you that you got reprimanded by your boss.”

Mentioning Meng Mingxuan made Meng Qihui's expression even more bitter.

Gao Yuanshan sighed and patted Meng Qihui on the shoulder.

"Qihui, you need to think more positively about this. I was also..."

Meng Qihui gave a wry smile: "I know that Mingxuan made a mistake, it's his own fault, no one else is to blame."

“Mingxuan’s current predicament has nothing to do with others, but it is inextricably linked to me, his father.”

"It's because I'm too busy with work and my wife passed away early, so there's no one to guide him, which is why he did something wrong."

"It's all my fault for neglecting my child too much and being too strict with him."

Gao Yuanshan didn't say anything more. To be honest, even he, as an elder, found it hard to accept, let alone Meng Qihui.

Gao Yuanshan always knew how much he loved his son.

When Meng Mingxuan was born, Meng Qihui knocked on their door in the middle of the night and said that he had a son and named him Mingxuan.

Meng Mingxuan's mother was in poor health after giving birth and passed away when the child was seven or eight years old.

Everyone advised Meng Qihui to remarry and take good care of Mingxuan.

He said that there are not many good stepmothers, and this is the only precious child left by his wife. He can't bear to see his child suffer.

So, he was incredibly busy every day, but he still insisted on taking care of the child himself, acting as both father and mother. He saw how hard life was for the child.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuanshan sighed again.

The two arrived at the hospital and entered Grandpa Meng's ward. At this time, the old man was already unconscious and could not be fed.

The doctors had no other options and told them to process their discharge.

Gao Yuanshan hadn't expected the situation to be so serious, so he helped out.

Grandpa Meng stopped breathing on the third day after he returned home.

After the leader learned of this, he personally led a group to attend Old Master Meng's funeral.

When he was young, Grandpa Meng was a great hero. But because his descendants went astray, he suffered as a result.

Although the old man is not in good health, he is well-preserved. If it weren't for Meng Mingxuan's matter, he could easily live for several more years.

Now, Meng Qihui is truly all alone.

Xu Manman admired the Meng family's past glorious deeds, but she also told Fei Huainan about Meng Qihui's attitude that day.

Just as the couple were preparing to be wary of Meng Qihui and guard against any underhanded tactics he might employ,

Meng Qihui actually submitted a transfer application.

He is in very poor condition and is no longer suitable to lead troops. He wants to transfer to another position to continue serving the country.

Upon hearing this, the leader did not refuse and approved Meng Qihui's application for demobilization.

When Meng Qihui said he was leaving, he really left without any hesitation.

This incident caused quite a stir for several days before subsiding back down.

Xu Manman's investment team has recruited quite a few people, and all the information on the factories that need investment has been sent over.

Xu Manman inspected several factories, all of which lacked funds and could be revitalized with an injection of capital.

Her gaze swept over them, and she was still somewhat tempted; these factories were relatively easy to revitalize.

After reviewing all the materials, Xu Manman discovered a special factory at the end.

State-owned Factory No. 132.

Seeing Xu Manman staring at the factory, Chen Ni said directly, "I've investigated this factory. It's in huge deficit. If we were to invest, the amount would be too large, and there's no guarantee it would be turned around."

This factory is relatively new compared to other established factories.

It was acquired from an old factory and turned into a military enterprise. It was established in 1958 and has only been in operation for 20 years. It is known as State-owned Factory 132, but in reality, it is an aircraft manufacturing plant.

They initially copied the Soviet MiG-21 and named it J-7.

Later, in order to improve some of the problems with the J-7, a lot of money was invested in it.

"This factory manager was quite daring; at the time, no one dared to do this."

Improving an aircraft is not something that ordinary people can do. Putting aside everything else, the cost of depreciation for just one aircraft is something that ordinary people would find hard to accept.

Among cars, ships, and airplanes, it is among the most expensive to manufacture.

Let alone a factory, even a country doesn't have that much money to support such a laboratory.

Actually, everyone says that this factory manager is out of his mind. He should just focus on producing airplanes and making money. Why does he have to think about making improvements?

After so many years, the losses alone amount to 5.7 million.

When Chen Ni heard the price, she gasped in shock.

This amount of money is so large that even if they sold all the people in their foundation, they still couldn't come up with it.

Not to mention, after filling this hole, another investment will be needed.

Not only do we need to invest in laboratories, but we also need to invest in factories. The national treasury can't even come up with that much money, let alone Xu Manman.

Chen Ni knew her family chairman was rich, but even if he was rich, he couldn't possibly have this much money!

Therefore, she put the information about State-owned Factory 132 last.

Having already invested in the factories mentioned earlier, Xu Manman probably wouldn't be interested in this last one.

Xu Manman glanced at the factory, said nothing more, and put all the documents away.

"I'll take the information on these factories back with me first, and I'll let you know once I've confirmed it."

No one objected; as long as they didn't choose the airplane manufacturing option, the rest were fine.

the other side.

Factory 132 Laboratory.

After Xue Ningshuang was found, the Xue family immediately resumed their experiments, and they soon made new technological breakthroughs.

But then, a new problem arose.

The factory is losing money and can no longer provide funds to support the laboratory.

The fighter jet project is about to enter a new phase; if we give up now, all the efforts of the past few years will be wasted.

But without money, nothing you say will make a difference.

The Xue father and son rarely returned for a meal, but they looked very unwell.

They are researchers who receive a fixed monthly salary. Even if they didn't receive a salary, the expenses for purchasing materials and conducting experiments would still require a large sum of money.

After Xue Ningshuang returned, she became much more silent. This experience made her realize the darkness of the world.

She was no longer the carefree little princess she used to be. Since returning, Xue Ningshuang had never gone out again.

Xue's mother stayed by her daughter's side every day, trying to make her happy.

Grandpa Xue was heartbroken to see this. For several generations, his family had only had boys. Finally, his son had a little princess, and the whole family doted on her.

I never imagined that some people would be so heartless as to use such a vicious method to force them to compromise.

They were forced to compromise before because of their child, but now that Xue Ningshuang has been found, everyone is holding their breath.

They must succeed in scientific research; only when the country is strong can they truly slap those people in the face.
