Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Song Yunhui nodded: "Yu Bo, I don't know anything about the specific majors."

While seemingly contradictory, shrinking size and improving performance are actually the direction of industry development and the key to breaking through technological bottlenecks. Read more, research more, and experiment more.

Song Yubo responded repeatedly, "Dad, that's what I think too."

Only by overcoming this contradictory technical challenge can we create a differentiated advantage.

I've been repeatedly adjusting the parameters lately and have figured out some new approaches, which I will continue to explore in depth.

Song Yunhui was very pleased. "Yu Bo, very good."

Conduct research in a down-to-earth manner, and focus on identifying and solving problems.

Whether pursuing academic studies or building a career, be pragmatic and truth-seeking, don't rush for quick results, just make steady progress.

The future of semiconductors rests on your shoulders, get some rest.

"Dad, you should get some rest too!" Song Yubo started walking towards the graduate student dormitory building.

Jingzhou City, Handong Province.

Sunset Red Nursing Home.

Chen Yanshi lives in a detached house.

The room was softly lit and warmly decorated.

Little Ball lay on the bed in the bedroom, his round face adorable, his eyebrows relaxed, sleeping soundly.

Chen Yanshi leaned over and stood by the bed, his gaze falling on his sleeping grandson.

Turning her head to look at Wang Fuzhen beside her, she lowered her voice and said, "Old Wang, look at our eldest grandson. Thick eyebrows, big eyes, a full forehead, a straight nose, and a face full of good fortune."

This child has a well-proportioned physique and an extraordinary demeanor; he's destined for greatness.

Wang Fuzhen walked slowly closer and gently tucked the blanket around her. "Yes, Old Chen, our Chen family's roots and foundation have never been bad."

It's a pity that Hai Zi is now all alone, and his life is too lonely.

When will we be able to find a reliable stepmother for Little Ball so that Chen Hai can have another daughter?

With both a son and a daughter, they have a perfect family.

"Only then will our Chen family be truly complete."

Chen Yanshi straightened up, waved his hand, and turned to walk out of the bedroom.

He walked into the living room with his hands behind his back, plopped down on the sofa, and said, "Old Wang, this can't be rushed."

Things are different now. Chen Hai's identity, platform, and future prospects are all different now.

The standards for finding a partner naturally need to rise accordingly; one can no longer settle for just anyone.

Wang Fuzhen followed him out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her. "Old Chen, if you ask me, there's no need to be so picky."

I think Lu Yike is the most suitable.

He's good-looking, reliable, has a stable job, and is down-to-earth and steady—a perfect match for our Hai Zi.

I was thinking of finding a matchmaker someday to talk to Wu Xinyi and discuss the possibility of her marrying Haizi.

Chen Yanshi shook his head slightly, his brows furrowed. "What's so good about it?"

Old Wang, you're confused.

Lu Yike looks nice, but she's actually not suitable.

He has no work ability. If it weren't for his uncle-in-law Gao Yuliang, how could he have become a section chief?

Even if we take a step back and say that almost every workplace now opposes office romances, it's still a serious issue.

If they get married, one of them has to leave.

Wang Fuzhen rolled her eyes at Chen Yanshi. "Old Chen, it's enough that Yike is good to Xiaopiqiu and to our Chen Hai. If that doesn't work, transfer Yike to another unit."

Chen Yanshi lit a cigarette. "Old Wang."

Absolutely not.

Lu Yike is not young and is still unmarried. If she were in the system, there would be no shortage of gossip.

It's possible that she was injured by someone, or that she has a physical problem that prevents her from conceiving.

Marriage isn't like online shopping; getting married is easy, but getting a divorce is much harder than returning the item.

Wang Fuzhen raised her eyebrows slightly and retorted softly, "Old Chen, that's just old-fashioned thinking."

That child is pure of heart, and his eyes and heart are full of our Chen Hai. Anyone with eyes can see that he is sincere and genuine.

It's also possible that she's never had a boyfriend/girlfriend.

Chen Yanshi raised his hand and tapped the armrest of the sofa. "That's precisely why you absolutely cannot marry her."

Chen Hai is currently at a critical juncture in his promotion; his position as deputy chief prosecutor is about to be filled, which is a time when he is in the eye of the storm.

Once he marries Lu Yike, outsiders will inevitably gossip, saying that he was two-timing her.

Such a stain, though seemingly minor, can actually ruin one's career path.

Back then, there were rumors in the Handong Provincial Procuratorate that Lu Yike didn't get married because she liked Chen Hai, who was already married and had children at the time.

Chen Yanshi was very protective of his reputation and was afraid that Chen Hai would be implicated.

Wang Fuzhen shook her head, "Old Chen, sigh!"

Never mind, I've spent my whole life with you, I know what kind of temper you have.

Don't say anything.

"You old rock, I can't argue with you."

Chen Yanshi picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said leisurely, "Old Wang, you should broaden your horizons."

Now that Xiao Jinzi is the top official in the Handong Provincial Party Committee, our Chen family has the confidence and the backing to act. We must proceed with utmost care and leave no room for error, so as not to give anyone any reason to criticize us.

Wang Fuzhen sighed slightly, "Old Chen, don't speak too definitively."

Little Jinzi has never contacted us on her own initiative all these years.

People grow cold when they leave, and those in high positions have no heart for them.

The officialdom is a place where human relationships are the most fickle, and no one can say for sure what he's thinking right now.

What if Little Gold doesn't recognize us?

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanshi let out a cold snort, "Hmph!"

Even if he holds a high position and wields immense power in a province, he cannot change his fundamental nature.

I am his adoptive father.

Strictly speaking, in terms of seniority and gratitude, he should call me "Dad" himself.

Wang Fuzhen sighed, "Yes, he did call me that when he was little. He called me 'Dad,' and 'Mom.' Now, that little Jinzi is a high-ranking official."

Chen Yanshi flicked his cigarette ash. "Old Wang, absolutely impossible."

If I hadn't taken the initiative to suggest finding a descendant for my old squad leader, Sha Zhenjiang, back then...

Xiao Jinzi was an orphan at the time. He was always hungry and didn't have clean clothes. How could he possibly have the opportunity to study and succeed?

Whether he could finish junior high school was uncertain; he might have dropped out early to work, and he wouldn't be the provincial champion he is today!

He can never erase or shake off this life-saving and resurrection grace.

If he dares to forget, I'll mobilize the thousands of workers at Xipo, Lao Ma, and Dafeng Factory to spread the word, and I reckon Xiao Jinzi will be kneeling and calling me Dad.

Wang Fuzhen smiled.

Light footsteps sounded outside the courtyard gate.

Chen Hai had just had a few drinks outside and returned home slightly tipsy.

In the darkness of night, the evening breeze dispelled some of the effects of the alcohol, but my mind remained exceptionally clear.

As I stepped into the courtyard, I could hear every word of my parents' conversation inside the house.

That's interesting, fantastic news!

Chen Hai pressed himself against the wall, eavesdropping quietly.

My heart was racing the more I listened; it was incredible.

Chen Hai is about to take off.

He's lived for so many years, and only today has he realized that his family still has this trump card: Sha Ruijin.

Sha Ruijin, the dignified Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee and a powerful official in the province, was actually the adopted son raised by his father, Chen Yanshi, and his half-brother!

Overwhelmed with excitement, Chen Hai was filled with immense joy.

I won't eavesdrop anymore.

We must use brand names.

He pushed open the door and rushed into the house, extremely excited. "Dad, Mom! Since Secretary Sha is my Ruijin brother, I'm going to find him right now!"

I want to recognize Brother Ruijin in person!
