Hearing Yiyi’s words, Gu Tingyu smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."
After chatting for a while, Yu Qiulan also returned. She was very happy to see Yiyi and, upon seeing the bone broth Gu Tingyu was drinking, praised, "Yiyi, you’re so capable, you even made bone broth for Tingyu. You must stay for a meal later."
Yiyi smiled and nodded, "Then I’ll trouble you, Auntie."
"It’s no trouble, no trouble at all. We’re all family; there’s nothing troublesome about it," Yu Qiulan said with joy as she took the groceries to the kitchen.
Seeing Yiyi and his mother getting along, Gu Tingyu smiled. He was glad to see his mother’s change in attitude, and now that they could all live happily together as a family, it was the greatest happiness.
Yu Qiulan was quick, and by around eleven, she had already prepared a lavish meal.
"Auntie, thank you for your hard work."
After the meal was ready, Yiyi immediately went to help set the table and brought out the last bowl of soup.
Yu Qiulan was all smiles at this sight.
After eating, Yiyi stayed a bit longer to chat with Gu Tingyu before leaving.
There were things to take care of at the pharmaceutical factory, so she didn’t have time to stay long.
Gu Tingyu knew Yiyi was busy with the pharmaceutical factory, so he didn’t keep her, only saying, "Go on back, Yiyi."
"Okay, take care and recover at home."
"Don’t worry, I know what to do."
Hearing this from Gu Tingyu, Yiyi waved goodbye before turning to leave.
After Yiyi left, Gu Tingyu tidied up and prepared to go out. Since Fan Qianshu had told him about the plan, he needed to discuss it with Ji Zhengguo so they could make preparations.
When Ji Zhengguo saw Gu Tingyu coming, he asked curiously, "Tingyu, what brings you here?"
"I have something to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhengguo quickly invited Gu Tingyu in to sit down.
Gu Tingyu had just been discharged from the hospital and his hand was not fully healed, so he needed to be careful.
With Ji Zhengguo’s invitation, Gu Tingyu went inside, and once seated, he began discussing Fan Qianshu’s matter.
Ji Zhengguo’s relaxed expression gradually turned serious, "Tingyu, is this information reliable? If not, we could be in danger."
"It should be reliable, but we should also make preparations just in case."
Ji Zhengguo nodded in agreement, "Yes, you’re thorough, but this needs careful planning. Some things I can’t decide alone. I’ll report this to the higher-ups."
By the end, Ji Zhengguo brightened a bit, "If what Fan Qianshu says is true, and we can stop this arms deal, that would be excellent."
Hearing this, Gu Tingyu smiled and nodded, "Yes, if we plan well, we might even capture them all and follow the trail to those behind it."
Ji Zhengguo thought this feasible and continued discussing with Gu Tingyu.
Gu Tingyu patiently explained the points to note and then left to return home.
After Gu Tingyu left, Ji Zhengguo remained excited, pacing a bit before going out to discuss with his superiors.
Upon returning home, Gu Tingyu recounted the matter to Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu nodded and said, "If this works out, Hua Country will surely improve, so I’ll support you with all the Gu Family’s resources. Plan well, but..."
At the end, Mr. Gu expressed some doubt.
"Can that Fan boy be trusted? Don’t let yourselves get into trouble."
"Don’t worry, Grandpa, I’ll prepare for all possibilities."
Despite trusting Fan Qianshu, Gu Tingyu couldn’t ignore the others involved. Two plans were necessary.
Mr. Gu saw his grandson’s confidence and trusted him, "I trust you to handle this well, just plan thoroughly and don’t worry about the rest."
"Yes, Grandpa."
After discussing the matter, grandfather and grandson left the study. Old Mrs. Gu, seeing her grandson, quickly asked, "Tingyu, why are you alone? Isn’t Yiyi with you today?"
"Grandma, Yiyi visited me earlier and made me bone broth, but she’s busy with the pharmaceutical factory, so she couldn’t come."
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu shook her head regretfully but said nothing more, "When Yiyi visits tomorrow, come over for a meal together; it’s been a while."
"Okay."
Gu Tingyu smiled and nodded.
On the next day, Yiyi brought soup to visit Gu Tingyu, who then mentioned going to his grandparents’ for a meal. The two laughed and chatted on their way.
Old Mrs. Gu was delighted to see Yiyi and kept her talking, continuously praising, "Yiyi, you’ve worked hard. Without you, who knows when Tingyu would’ve been discharged. You’re the greatest contributor."
Yiyi quickly waved it off, "Grandma, it wasn’t hard. Besides, it’s what I should do."
They laughed and chatted about other things, and later everyone sat down for a satisfying meal.
"Yiyi, if you need to go, don’t worry. I also have to meet Zixiao later," said Gu Tingyu with a smile after the meal.
Indeed, Yiyi was busy, but before leaving, she repeatedly reminded, "Take care of yourself and don’t overwork."
Gu Tingyu nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself."
Reassured, Yiyi bid farewell to the Gu elders and left.
But before Gu Tingyu could visit Wei Zixiao, Fan Qianshu arrived.
Seeing Fan Qianshu’s troubled expression, Gu Tingyu asked, "What happened?"
"The trade location for next month has changed."
Hearing this, Gu Tingyu’s expression also darkened, "What happened? Did something happen in Lanwan?"
Fan Qianshu replied with a sarcastic expression, "Nothing happened in Lanwan, but there’s more distrust toward me."
"Now things are more complicated."
Gu Tingyu hadn’t expected this sudden change.
