Xinyan heard from Zhao Jianlan about Lyu Juncheng and Yao Huiâs situation and couldnât help but laugh. Itâs good if those two are bound together, so they wonât harm anyone else.
With such a commotion, both Lyu Juncheng and Yao Hui, and even the Yao Familyâs reputation, would surely be ruined. Thatâs great.
Indeed, as long as theyâre not doing well, my mood is uplifted: "Jianlan, thank you for telling me this."
The two chatted a bit more about important matters before hanging up, as in those days, phone calls were quite expensive and couldnât be prolonged like in the future.
With everything sorted on Xinyanâs side, He Jinxuan was also ready to take care of his own business.
After dinner, He Jinxuan and Han Jingchen talked for a long time in the study. By the time he came out, Xinyan was almost asleep on the sofa in the living room.
He Jinxuan saw the little girl on the sofa and walked over in a few quick steps, gently calling out: "Yanyan, wake up, go back to your room to sleep, donât catch a cold."
Upon hearing the voice, Xinyan groggily opened her eyes: "Are you guys done talking?"
He Jinxuan helped her up with his hand: "Yeah, weâre done talking. Go back to your room to sleep."
Using his strength to sit up, Xinyan was much more awake now: "What were you talking about for so long?"
He Jinxuan knew she was worried: "Nothing much, we just discussed future work directions. Donât worry."
Xinyan was about to ask more when she heard Han Jingchen coming out of the study.
Han Jingchen didnât expect his daughter to still be in the living room: "Yanyan, itâs late. Go rest."
Xinyan looked at the clock on the cabinet and realized it was indeed late. She also knew that asking He Jinxuan now wouldnât be appropriate: "Got it."
Knowing that if she didnât go back to her room, her dad would probably keep watch here: "Iâll head back to my room. You both should rest early too."
The next day, He Jinxuan needed to handle work-related matters, and Xinyan had her own plans. After all, she had a lot of goods stored in her space, and she needed to find a place to sell them. Before the reform and opening, saving up some capital would be beneficial for future expansion, right?
After breakfast, He Jinxuan picked up his bag, ready to leave: "Yanyan, Iâll come over after I finish my business, and then Iâll accompany you to your registration."
Xinyan nodded with a smile: "Go handle your things without worry. Donât worry about me."
After seeing He Jinxuan off, Xinyan was thinking of an excuse to go out for a bit, and coincidentally, the opportunity presented itself.
Initially, Han Jingchen wanted to spend more time with his daughter, but an urgent notice came from the army, and he had to brief Xinyan a bit, give her an envelope with money, and prepare to return to the base.
Xinyan wasnât upset about this. She understood the weight of military orders, and reassured the apologetic Han Jingchen: "Dad, I can take care of myself, donât worry."
Han Jingchen thought about how the child had just returned to the Capital. He had initially wanted to take advantage of the few days before school started to bond more, but it seemed it wouldnât be possible. However, this time back at the base, his discharge procedures should be completed: "Yanyan, Dad will be back soon. Be sure to stay safe when going out in these few days."
Xinyan nodded at him: "Got it."
Watching the car drive off into the distance, Xinyan quickly returned to the house, preparing to go out for business.
Before leaving, she greeted Sister Chen: "Aunt Chen, Iâll be going out for a while and will have lunch outside."
Sister Chen responded: "Okay."
But she didnât forget to give a few reminders. Xinyan wasnât bothered, and replied with a smile: "Aunt Chen, I know. Thank you."
Just like that, in two days, Xinyan thoroughly understood the situation in the black market and selected a person to collaborate with. She thought that in a few more years, when she could do business openly, it wouldnât be this troublesome.

At the Mechanical Factory, Qiu Qingmeiâs case also reached a final conclusion.
The Qiu Family initially thought that since Qiu Qingmei was under eighteen, they could find someone to give her a lighter sentence. But they forgot their previous machinations; in order for Qiu Qingmei to take over Xinyanâs identity in the future, her birthday was registered as Xinyanâs in the household registration. Adding Han Jingchenâs intervention, she was directly sentenced to three years.
When Huang Yufeng received the news, she was completely stunned, slapping her thighs in regret. Meanwhile, Qiu Jouxuan, unable to bear the blow, was completely bedridden.
