Why did you provoke me?

Qian Chuan's pills caused a sensation in the backyard, and data from a few days later showed that they were truly effective and had no side effects.

Yu Meng specially sent a bottle to both Niannian and Secretary Wu.

Secretary Wu was buried in piles of documents, not even looking up.

"Leave it there for now, I'll eat it later."

Yu Meng tapped the table. "There's always work to be done. This is good for your health. Why don't you eat first, and then get back to work?"

Secretary Wu finished flipping through the last few pages. "The situation on the front lines is strange; I have a feeling something's going to happen."

He swallowed the pill with water. "This place is our food supply; it absolutely cannot be allowed to go wrong. Most of our industry depends on the aliens there."

Yu Meng understood his concerns. "What did you see?"

"I feel like its management has some flaws; it's not as rigorous as it used to be, and now it's very chaotic."

"How so?"

"I deployed ten teams to the first battlefield for daily gathering, but now they're able to smuggle out a lot of stuff. This is unreasonable."

Which company is in charge of this?

"It's the Zhu family from the capital. They used to never miss a single box of goods."

"The Zhu family?" Yu Meng pondered. "I'm not familiar with them."

"I have an idea," Secretary Wu said slowly. "I'd like them to give it another try?"

"How do I try?"

"What do you think about letting them smuggle even more goods?"

"You want to be the one to stick your neck out?" Yu Meng asked in surprise, as Secretary Wu was not that kind of person.

"I'm afraid, afraid that this first battlefield will change hands again."

"Why make it so complicated? Just go ask the Hou family," Yu Meng suggested.

"Then there has to be a gift." Secretary Wu wasn't too concerned. "That Butler Han is very tight-lipped; he won't say anything unless you spend a lot of money."

"Then let's wait. Our people's safety comes first."

"It's such a waste to lose this place; it's all money!" Secretary Wu sighed.

Yu Meng looked at him with amusement, "With such a big family and business, you're still lacking something."

"You have no idea how many mouths we have to feed. If I don't plan ahead, they'll all come asking me for things, and what will I give them?"

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wu," Yu Meng said sincerely.

Secretary Wu continued to look through the materials, and Yu Meng didn't say anything.

The room remained quiet for a long time, and Secretary Wu even thought Yu Meng had left.

"Uncle Wu, if you don't want to see them change the rules, why don't we secretly help them out?" Yu Meng's words startled Secretary Wu.

Secretary Wu wiped the cold sweat from his brow. "I thought you were gone. Your words startled me."

Yu Meng rolled her eyes. How old is she? Still in the office, is it really necessary?

"Whom are we helping? How are we supposed to help? Do you know that's a power struggle between several factions? If we go in, we'll just get torn to shreds." Secretary Wu spoke urgently.

"Don't listen to my complaints. I'm just saying. No matter who's guarding the gate, they still need people to mine. At worst, we'll just pass the buck to the customers and raise the price of our products."

Yu Meng was stunned; the change was too fast.

Secretary Wu picked up the documents on the table. "Why don't you take a look at this? Let's put what happened earlier aside for now. In any case, I can't let us suffer a loss."

When Secretary Wu asked Yu Meng to look at the documents, she quickly waved her hand, "I have something to do, I'll be going now."

What a joke! She dumped the whole carload she brought back on Zhang Zhen. Her biggest annoyance was sitting there looking at documents.

Watching Yu Meng leave in a panic, Secretary-General Wu breathed a sigh of relief. It seems best not to discuss such matters with Yu Meng in the future; some of her ideas are too frightening.

A few more days passed like this.

Under Qian Chuan's treatment, Nangong Tianshou's condition improved significantly. He was now able to wander around. Every day, he would take Xiao Hao on a walk through the clubhouse. But he didn't go to the backyard, because there was a sign there that said "No Trespassing!"

He met Yu Meng again, and Nangong Tianshou was very moved, "My life is really resilient. Even in this state, you saved me again."

"You're taking medicine, so I won't give you any tea." Yu Meng poured him a glass of honey water.

"I can't just stand by and do nothing. You're really unlucky, who tricked you this time?" Yu Meng said this with a smile.

Nangong Tianshou took a big gulp of honey water. "Laugh if you want! You've seen it several times already anyway."

"I was just laughing at your bad luck. Ever since your mother-in-law passed away, you've been getting into all sorts of trouble, and I only saved you because of her. It's just funny."

"Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush." ​​Nangong Tianshou's face was very ugly.

"I did save you, so don't give me that look. Otherwise, next time, I really won't care anymore," Yu Meng said, half-jokingly.

"Auntie, my third grandfather is in such a state, please don't abandon him. When I grow up, I will help you with your work and repay my third grandfather for saving my life," Xiao Hao said earnestly from the side.

Yu Meng burst out laughing.

Nangong Tianshou's face darkened. "Do you expect me to repay your life-saving grace? I'm not dead yet!"

"Auntie? Third Grandfather, did I say something wrong?" Xiao Hao fidgeted with the hem of his clothes, head down.

"Stand up straight, head up. You are going to be the head of the family. You must stand tall no matter what you say, right or wrong." Nangong Tianshou's voice was not loud, but he spoke very slowly.

"Understood, Third Grandfather." Xiao Hao slowly straightened up.

"Don't impose your own ideas on him. He's someone I saved with great difficulty," Yu Meng said softly, looking at Xiao Hao.

Nangong Tianshou glanced at Xiao Hao, picked up his water glass, and took another sip.

"Xiao Hao, come sit here with your aunt. Don't listen to your third grandfather; he's sick and has a bad temper. Stay away from him from now on."

Xiao Hao glanced cautiously at Nangong Tianshou, then slowly approached Yu Meng and found a place to sit down.

"He really listens to you." Nangong Tianshou held the water glass and twirled it around.

"Yes, everyone who lives here listens to me," Yu Meng said truthfully.

Nangong Tianshou's eyes were unfriendly. "I'll listen to you all the time, but do I have to listen to you too?"

"If you want to get better, won't you listen to me?" Yu Meng said with a smile.

Nangong Tianshou stood up with a sour face. Xiao Hao hurriedly slid off the chair and ran to him. "Third Grandpa, let me hold you."

"My ward isn't good. Get me a sunny room and find me a good cook. The food in the cafeteria is awful," Nangong Tianshou said as he walked.

"You haven't paid for your meals?" Yu Meng didn't agree to his request, but instead brought up the issue of meal expenses.

"Qingyuan and the others live here, do you also want to pay for their food?" Nangong Tianshou suddenly turned around, his voice rising considerably.

Looking at his expression, Yu Meng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hmph!" Nangong Tianshou glared at Yu Meng fiercely. "Don't come to me with trivial matters."

Nangong Tianshou is gone.

Yu Meng sat there for a long time without moving. She wanted to laugh, but in the end she didn't.

She must cultivate diligently and never allow herself to fall into the same predicament as Nangong Tianshou.
