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

Chapter 368, Episode 0397: The Worried Old Man

As if knowing what Lin Yuexi was thinking, the old man chuckled and lightly poked her forehead, "Don't underestimate Madam Ye, that old woman Pang Pingchun is quite formidable."

"The Pang family moved to the Kingdom of Yisi several decades ago. When they moved there, the Kingdom of Yisi was similar to the present-day Beiji. It was very poor and everything was in an undeveloped state."

"In less than ten years, the Pang family gained a voice over there and discovered more than a dozen mines. After handing over half of them to the King of Isis, they received a title. Now, the Pang family's status in Isis is only slightly lower than that of the royal family."

"Pang Pingchun is the only girl in three generations of the Pang family. She is a princess in the Kingdom of Yisi. It is said that she manages one-third of the Pang family's business."

Can a group member who holds real power be a decent person?

Lin Yuexi had a sudden inspiration, "Grandpa, the rise of the Pang family in the Kingdom of Yisi looks very familiar."

Does Ye Zhenwen's experience seem like a copy?

A smile appeared in Huo Han's eyes; his wife had finally realized what was happening.

That makes sense, though; his wife is completely focused on her research and wouldn't pay attention to such things.

The old man's eyes were filled with relief. "Their troubles abroad are none of our business. As long as they don't affect the country, let them do whatever they want."

After saying that, he turned to Huo Han and instructed him: "You need to pay attention to the oil field. This is no longer a private matter. The profits involved are huge, and many people will want to get involved, not just in China."

The oil reserves in the Beiji oil field are truly substantial. Due to its unique geographical location, the government cannot directly intervene and can only let Yuexi Group handle it.

However, this makes many things more complicated. At least the supervision cannot be openly assigned to people from various departments; it can only be handled semi-covertly by the National Security Bureau.

Huo Han nodded solemnly, "Grandpa, don't worry, I received the task a few days ago and have already arranged for people to keep an eye on it."

Lin Yuexi: "..."

So she's the only one who doesn't know anything, right?

Knowing that the matter had been handed over to the National Security Bureau, the old man felt relieved. He turned to look at his slightly depressed grandson and chuckled, "In the future, Yuexi Group will only take on more and more similar matters. You can ignore those people who bother you if you don't want to. Your fourth uncle will be keeping an eye on things at the group. Think of it this way: the more matters Yuexi Group takes on, the more dividends you will receive, and you won't have to worry about anything. Doesn't that make you feel better?"

Lin Yuexi thought about it and realized it was true. It was just a coincidence that they ran into each other today. Otherwise, how would the people outside have had the chance to dance in front of her?

As for Yuexi Group, her grandfather was absolutely right. She didn't have to lift a finger; money just flew to her. Where else could she find such a good deal?
Don't say things like "the reason why Yuexi Group produces so many things is because of her." She never thought about making a profit when she designed them. Now that the country is making a profit, she hasn't forgotten about her. Besides, the rewards that should have been given have already been given. If she wants anything else, she would be going against her original intention.

At this moment, Aunt Yang and Uncle Liu each brought out a large and a small dish.

Aunt Yang: "Sir, the noodles are ready."

"You two go eat your noodles, and we can talk after you've eaten," the old man urged them on.

The young couple didn't stand on ceremony with the old man and got up to eat noodles.

After the two finished eating, the old man suggested going for a walk, and the young couple naturally had to accompany him.

I ran into an acquaintance;
"Old Leng, you've finally decided to let your granddaughter show her face, huh? What's up with this Huo family kid...?"

"Haha, this is my granddaughter's husband. They just got their marriage certificate."

"You old man, you have a really sharp eye."

"That's right. No ugly or inferior person is worthy of my precious grandson. If we're going to find someone, we have to find the best."

The old man across from me, whose granddaughter and grandson-in-law are currently going through a divorce: "..."

He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. He spat and turned to leave.

I ran into two acquaintances;

"Old Leng, your granddaughter is back. Bring her over for a visit sometime."

“My dear granddaughter is busy lately. She just got married and has to go to school. Let’s do it in a while.”

The old lady, who still wanted to set up a match for her grandson, said, "...Okay, okay, you must come when you have time in a while." "Alright, let's go."

I ran into three acquaintances, and then a fourth...
The young couple who were silently following behind: "..."

Fortunately, the old man didn't go crazy and circle the entire military camp; he only drove around the vicinity before leading the young couple back home.

Lin Yuexi suddenly had some ideas, and after returning home, she went into her study.

The old man called Huo Han to the pavilion in the backyard.

He asked, "Do you know what you'll be facing if you marry Guai Bao?"

Huo Han nodded, "I'm not afraid."

The old man stared at his determined expression for a moment.

Honestly, given his status and the fact that his granddaughter is so outstanding, it's hard to believe that anyone who wants to marry her is truly sincere.

Looking at the kid in front of me now, it seems like I can trust him?
"From now on, you cannot make any mistakes, not even if you are implicated. Do you understand?"

Huo Han nodded again, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on the people around me, and Grandpa will also help keep an eye on my family."

The old man sighed softly and waved his hand, "Go and rest for a while."

"Okay, goodbye Grandpa."

Huo Han got up and left.

After his figure disappeared into the backyard, Old Zhang walked to the old man's side, who looked so serious, and advised, "Old Chief, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You are not in good health, so don't worry yourself sick."

They were worried about affecting Chief Lin, so they didn't dare tell him that the old chief had been hospitalized last month because he was disobedient.

But now Chief Lin is on vacation at home. If the old man doesn't listen to him, well...

For some reason, the old man could hear a threat in Old Zhang's words, even though they were clearly words of concern.

He glared at Old Zhang, annoyed. "I'm just worried..."

He pointed to the sky.

Old Zhang was silent for a moment, then squatted down and whispered, "You guessed it too, both Elder Long and Elder Zhou favor Director Huo. Zhou Long has been paving the way for Director Huo. If anything happens, Elder Long and Elder Zhou will protect him."

"I know, and that's precisely why I'm worried."

Although Elder Long and Zhou Long had hidden their thoughts very well, it wasn't difficult for the old guys who had followed them for decades to figure them out, such as him, Elder Huo, and Elder Qi.

They could tell that the other old guys weren't blind either.

Elder Long and Elder Zhou have their preferred people, as do the other elders. In the past, everyone let things develop as they pleased, relying on their own abilities.

But now, the human-shaped national treasure has been married off by Huo Han.

Like the two ends of a weight, originally neither end was up or down, or occasionally one would go up while the other went down, there was competition but the advantages of each side were not too different.

Now, suddenly a huge lump of gold has been added to one side of the scale, almost instantly defining the situation.

Human nature is something that's hard to explain.

The old man was afraid, afraid that someone might have some wicked intentions, or even a move that would hurt both sides.

His precious grandson would be heartbroken even if he got a minor scrape.

"Find a few more capable people to protect Guaibao."

Old Zhang didn't think there was anything wrong with the old man's decision and agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Understood. I know a few people who retired from the Special Forces. I'll contact them later."
