After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 366, Episode 0395: The Awkward Old Man

Why did our family have to mine the oil field that the people of Beiji discovered themselves?
It's true that they had no choice but to hand over the oil field to protect themselves. It's not hard to tell from Ye Zhenwen's words that the oil field was said to be half-sold and half-given to Yuexi Group. The word "sold" here is very humble, it is in a subordinate position, it is almost like offering tribute to ask for a guarantee.

But this guarantee isn't something only our family can provide, is it?

M is closer to them, E is a little further away, and we are the furthest away.

Putting aside Ye Zhenwen's relationship, why would someone make this choice?
Because I believe!

Whether it was due to the reputation Ye Zhenwen brought over, or the impression left on the people of Beiji by the behavior of those Chinese people in Beiji in the past, it at least made the people of Beiji relatively trust China.

If this trust results in breach of contract, in broken promises, in an attempt to crush them with an overconfident level of intelligence, and it's the Yuexi Group that steps in, then the outcome...
Our family is now in the stage of moving forward, and there are countless eyes all over the world watching us. There are many who want to seize on any illness we have to attack us or even take the opportunity to do something.

At this time, while we don't need to be afraid of everything from the outside world, we should try our best to avoid any diplomatic problems. After all, we are still developing and have only just started. We are not yet strong enough to be fearless.

On the contrary, the risks are even greater for us now than when we are poor. If we are too poor, they will look down on us and have ideas but won't use too much force to target us. If we are too strong, they won't even dare to show their intentions. But when we are neither strong nor weak, those who are afraid of us becoming strong will concentrate their efforts to suppress or even deal with us.

We are not afraid, but unnecessary sacrifices are completely unnecessary.

The renaming of Beiji has already attracted international attention. If it weren't so poor and remote, people wouldn't be laughing at us for being a poverty alleviation worker, but rather for the fact that Beiji is already engulfed in war.

However, this situation will immediately reverse after the news about the oil field is released. But with our troops stationed there now, war is absolutely impossible to break out.

But what if Beiji and Yuexi Group clash at this point...?
Don't forget, Lin Yuexi is also someone who has always been under the spotlight and wants to destroy what she can't have. The Yuexi Group is named after her.

These two factors combined, and the conflict abroad, how is this any different from actively giving other countries a reason to target my country?
Lin Yuexi could think of these things, and Huo Han could naturally think of them too. He threw away all his poker face and image, and his face immediately turned as black as if he had just been struck by lightning.

My whole body was radiating cold air.

Lin Yuexi: It's a bit cold.

Turning her head in the direction of the air conditioning, she saw her newly appointed husband, who was about to explode with anger. Lin Yuexi, who didn't understand love, remembered the comfort her grandfather had given her when she was frustrated by obstacles in her thinking.

He reached out and gently patted Huo Han's back.

He didn't say anything, but the effect was amazing. Huo Han immediately became like a donkey that had been stroked, and his violent aura vanished instantly.

He grabbed Lin Yuexi's small hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, leave this to me."

Lin Yuexi remained silent for about two seconds before nodding without any objection.

This is no longer a private matter, but a major event that would inevitably affect the country if it happened, so it is most appropriate to hand it over to the National Security Bureau.

Ye Zhenwen, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment, but then he was so happy that he almost jumped up and down, losing his composure.

In his haste, he forgot that Academician Lin's new husband was the deputy director of the State Security Bureau. It would be much better for the State Security Bureau to take over the matter than for Academician Lin to just go and say something.

Ye Zhenwen was not unaware that if Director Hao's plan succeeded, it would have an impact on both countries. At that time, the higher authorities would not allow the situation to continue to deteriorate, and the people of Beiji would eventually be properly taken care of.

But when will that be?

That's why he risked being misunderstood and disliked by Lin Yuexi, hoping to unexpectedly encounter a rare opportunity. What if he succeeded?
The matter sounds big, and it is indeed quite big, but there's no rush. The oil field development is still in the preparation stage, and there's plenty of time.

With Huo Han's words, Ye Zhenwen felt relieved and wanted to invite Lin Yuexi and her husband to dinner, but they declined this time.

"You're back? Wow, I thought you two had forgotten the way home."

The two had barely stepped into the living room when they heard a strange, eerie voice coming from inside. Lin Yuexi: "..."

Huo Han: "..."

The two looked at each other, both feeling somewhat helpless.

Lin Yuexi knew best how to appease her old man, so she didn't respond to his words. While changing her shoes, she said, "Grandpa, I'm exhausted. What was supposed to be a 90-minute class was stretched into more than two hours. One question after another, I didn't even have time to drink water. Aunt Yang, could you get me a bowl of noodles? I'm so hungry."

Aunt Yang was one of the people assigned by the higher-ups to take care of Lin Yuexi's diet. Yes, just one of them. There were a total of six people in the diet team, and they had been by Lin Yuexi's side for more than two years, taking her everywhere they went.

"Hey, sir, we have some chicken soup on hand. How about we make chicken noodle soup?"

Aunt Yang, who was making dumplings with Uncle Liu, who was skilled at cooking Northern cuisine, felt extremely distressed upon hearing this and quickly put down her work to boil water.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want with it."

Lin Yuexi walked over to the old man who was glaring at her with dissatisfaction and squeezed down to sit next to him. "Grandpa, I came back as soon as get out of class was over. I stopped by the mall on the way and wanted to buy some gifts for everyone, so I browsed around for a while."

The old man, both angry and helpless, raised his hand and lightly poked her forehead. "You think Grandpa is angry with you because of this?"

After saying that, she turned and glared at Huo Han, who had just plopped down opposite her, "And you, Ye Zhenwen is a businessman. Businessmen are profit-driven and cunning. How could you let your precious baby drink tea with him?"

Huo Han: "..."

At this point, admitting your mistake is the right thing to do.

"Grandpa, it's my fault."

The other party slid to his knees so quickly that the old man's preparations of more than half an hour were all for naught, and he couldn't utter a single curse.

After a moment of silence, all he could say was, "Be careful next time."

"I see."

Huo Han answered with such seriousness, as if he had received some important mission.

Old man: “…”

My eyes hurt like hell.

Forget it, I can't be bothered to look at him.

His obedient and clever grandson is still the best.

"Sweetie, the Ye family is a mess. Try to avoid contact with them if possible."

His words immediately reminded Lin Yuexi and Huo Han of the conflicting accounts given by Ye Zhenwen and Ye Yiwen.

Lin Yuexi: "Grandpa, do you know about the Ye family?"

The old man didn't want to say anything at first, but then he thought that Ye Zhenwen had already met his beloved grandson. What if his grandson didn't know anything and was misled?
"I know a little bit. The Ye Group was the first company established in China after the opening up of the economy. It also cooperated with the country. Naturally, the higher-ups wanted to thoroughly investigate the Ye family first. My grandfather was one of the people in charge of this matter at the time."

Although the old man has retired, the elders still often entrust certain tasks to these retired old men and women, or involve them in them, as if they can't stand to see them having an easy time.
