Chapter 316: Campus Bullying?

After hearing Jiang Anbang’s explanation, Shen Fei couldn’t control his excitement.

Although in his previous life, he had accumulated considerable wealth, in this life, facing Ji Jian and the upcoming development of the lithography machine, he was still in shock.

The main reason was that the successful development of the lithography machine would open up a new era in technology!

It was not only the glory of China but also his stepping stone into the world of business technology!

What would the future look like?

A high-tech-driven era, where all aspects of life were made more convenient by technology. And in this new age, chips would be indispensable!

The lithography machine, while marking the beginning of this new technological era, would also lay the foundation for chip research!

Moreover, with Ji Jian involved, the emergence of the lithography machine would attract many top-tier tech talents, giving him access to the best minds in the field!

What an excellent beginning!

How could Shen Fei not be tempted?

“Mr. Ji, if you work with me, you don’t have to worry about money!” Shen Fei said in a deep voice.

“In that case, Mr. Shen, I’ll give you a guarantee! With the support of the country and your financial backing, within two years, I will develop a product that can rival the Ugly Country’s lithography machine—or even be better!” Ji Jian said confidently.

Shen Fei, hearing this, smiled faintly and extended his hand.

“Then, Mr. Ji, I look forward to our cooperation!”

Seeing this, Ji Jian quickly shook his hand.

“Mr. Shen, it’s a pleasure to cooperate!”

At the same time, Ji Jian let out a sigh of relief, as he hadn’t expected the conversation and cooperation between them to move so quickly.

“Mr. Shen, during these two years, you won’t see any profit, nor any commercial value. Can you endure that?” Ji Jian asked with concern.

“It’s no problem. With the Scar Healing Balm in hand, what do I have to worry about?” Shen Fei replied confidently.

“That’s good! Since Mr. Shen has said so, I can focus on developing the product with peace of mind! When it’s convenient for you, Mr. Shen, I’ll take you to the research institute and introduce you to the people there. You’ll need to keep in touch with them in the future; it would be inconvenient not to get to know them!” Ji Jian said softly.

“Okay! Then just give me a time, Mr. Ji!” Shen Fei replied.

—

The night grew darker.

After exchanging contact information with Ji Jian and chatting with Jiang Anbang for a while, Shen Fei left the Jiang family estate by car.

On the way home, thinking about everything that had happened at the Jiang family estate, Shen Fei felt as though he were in a dream.

Moreover, Shen Fei’s every move at the Jiang family had been highly praised by both Jiang Anbang and Ji Jian, making them increasingly believe that Shen Fei possessed a broad and selfless heart!

Of course, Shen Fei had no idea what the two of them were thinking, or else he might have given a bitter smile.

Having been reborn, he now understood how to develop in a way that would be most beneficial to himself!

The appearance of the lithography machine marked the beginning of the high-tech era.

In his previous life, it was Huawei that took in Ji Jian!

At that time, Huawei became a leader in the high-tech era thanks to the lithography machine, and the government later strongly supported them, allowing Ji Jian to lead a professional team to develop more high-tech products.

This rapid technological development had a significant impact on China.

Later, the hugely popular game Tianjue by Longguang Media was also influenced by Ji Jian’s work in the new era, introducing holographic images and rising in popularity.

In Shen Fei’s previous life, after Tianjue became a hit, people often said, “Without the chips developed by Ji Jian, the era wouldn’t have progressed so quickly. If the era hadn’t progressed so fast, such a great game wouldn’t have come to public attention!”

This saying helped Ji Jian, who had long been controversial and prejudiced against, gain the recognition of the Chinese public. The scorn he had suffered for so long was transformed into the highest honor for him!

The company that took in Ji Jian, Huawei, also became the most highly regarded company in China.

The benefits Ji Jian brought were immense, which is why Shen Fei responded so decisively to Ji Jian and Jiang Anbang’s request.

Otherwise, how could he accept a project that wouldn’t generate profits for two years? And how could he be so eager to venture into the tech industry?

After all, developing a new product, especially a technological one, required constant investment from the company and a test of time.

At the time, when Huawei hired Ji Jian, they did so secretly and signed a series of agreements with the government, enduring the pressure from the Ugly Country and the endless financial investment, which ultimately led to Ji Jian’s later success.

Thinking of this, Shen Fei knew he would need to be more cautious and careful in the future.

Driving to a quiet spot, Shen Fei opened the sunroof and gazed at the pitch-black night, feeling incredibly calm.

He needed some time to process the current situation properly.

After all, the old man had given him a huge gift!

—

Yunhe Villa

When Shen Fei arrived home, only Han Xinyan was waiting in the living room.

As soon as she saw Shen Fei, she hurried to greet him.

“What happened tonight?”

Noticing Shen Fei’s happy mood, Han Xinyan was a bit puzzled.

Before answering, she went into the kitchen and brought out a cup of hot milk.

“Drink this milk first! Then you can go to bed.”

“I’m not a child. Why do I have to drink hot milk before bed every night?” Shen Fei replied, but quickly took the milk from her.

Although he said that, he couldn’t help but feel a warm sensation in his heart.

Han Xinyan, hearing this, gave him a playful glare.

“Who says only children need to drink milk before bed? It’s so you can sleep more peacefully!”

After Shen Fei took a sip, she continued.

“How’s the matter with Yueyue transferring schools? How’s it going?”

“The old man said I just need to take Yueyue to Waideli Kindergarten tomorrow. They’ve already completed the paperwork!” Shen Fei answered truthfully.

“What? Waideli Kindergarten? Are you sure?”

Upon hearing the name of the kindergarten, Han Xinyan exclaimed in disbelief.

“Yes, that school!” Shen Fei replied.

“That kindergarten is one of the top aristocratic kindergartens in Shenzhen! It’s filled with the children of influential people in the city! Will… will our Yueyue be able to get in?” Han Xinyan was stunned.

“Don’t worry about that, Ah Yan! A lot of the people at that kindergarten know Old Jiang, so our child will definitely get in!” Shen Fei reassured her with a smile.

“What I’m worried about is whether our child will be bullied at school?” Han Xinyan furrowed her brows.

“How could that happen? With our little girl’s personality, she’d be more likely to avoid bullying others!” Shen Fei quickly smiled.

“And don’t worry! Even the little grandson of Secretary Yu is studying there!”

At that moment, a faint sound caught Shen Fei’s attention. Looking at the video playing on the table, he was puzzled.

“Ah Yan, what are you watching?”

—————- END —————-

Chapter 317: The Long Road Ahead!

Upon hearing this, Han Xinyan was stunned. She then picked up her phone from the table and waved it in front of Shen Fei.

“What’s this?”

When Shen Fei saw the person on the screen, he was momentarily taken aback.

“Ji Jian?”

“You still remember him?” Han Xinyan smiled.

“Yeah! Why are you looking at this?” Shen Fei asked, confused.

“Do you remember seven years ago? Back when we had just entered college, our professor once mentioned Ji Jian in class! His words were full of contempt for Ji Jian! After all, Ji Jian was too outstanding. While everyone expected him to return to the country and contribute, he stayed in the U.S. and even took their nationality! It’s no wonder that, back then, not only the professors, but even the Chinese people were very dissatisfied with Ji Jian! We were, too!” Han Xinyan said in a solemn tone.

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei recalled the lesson from seven years ago.

At that time, Ji Jian’s actions indeed made everyone furious! If Ji Jian had been present, the whole class would have been in an uproar.

But the criticisms back then, apart from from that professor, were from students who were mostly only partially informed and lacked a deep understanding.

“Continue,” Shen Fei said flatly.

“Now, ten years have passed, and Ji Jian is back in the public eye! But this time, faced with the U.S.’s and high-level research institutes’ invitations, he resolutely refused and chose to return to China! This move reminds one of the story of enduring hardship for a future goal! That is, during these ten years, Ji Jian was always concerned about his motherland. He wanted to learn from the U.S. technology at first, but now, the U.S. is furious with him, threatening to destroy anyone who dares to hire him!”

Han Xinyan’s emotions were stirred up.

“When everyone thought Ji Jian was a traitor, he told us he wasn’t, and that he was hiding his true intentions for the revival of the nation! All the insults from before are now slapping those people’s faces! Since Ji Jian returned, he’s immediately taken over all the trending topics! Most of the videos are related to Ji Jian, and even some people have apologized in the comments section! But what’s the point? Weren’t those who insulted him the most the same people back then?”

“And now, Ji Jian’s return has given our country’s tech experts hope! After all, Ji Jian spent ten years in the U.S. and seven years in their high-end research labs! Everyone thinks Ji Jian has mastered their most core research technology. Otherwise, how could the U.S. react this angrily? Facing the U.S. threat and Ji Jian’s future development, we Chinese are extremely worried! With that kind of threat, who would dare hire Ji Jian? Even with official support, no one would dare to step forward, right?”

This was the worry Han Xinyan had been harboring.

Although she wasn’t a high-end tech researcher herself, as a patriotic Chinese, she felt proud of her country!

After all, anyone educated would know that domestic technology had long been suppressed by foreign countries, and she naturally hoped someone would break that barrier, helping China’s tech rise again and no longer be looked down upon by foreigners.

But now, with the U.S. threat looming, even if the government wanted to help Ji Jian, it would likely be impossible, not to mention private companies—everyone would probably become wary and cautious.

Given this, Ji Jian’s future prospects seemed uncertain.

After hearing Han Xinyan’s concerns, Shen Fei slightly curved his lips.

He drank the milk in his cup, looked at Han Xinyan, and calmly said,

“Do you know who I met at the Jiang family?”

Hearing this, Han Xinyan became intrigued and even teased him,

“Who did you meet? Could it be Ji Jian?”

“Yeah, it was him!” Shen Fei confirmed.

Upon hearing this, Han Xinyan was stunned.

Seeing her reaction, Shen Fei honestly explained,

“The reason I went to the Jiang family was partly to thank Old Master Jiang for helping with Yueyue’s transfer, and also because Old Master Jiang said he wanted to introduce me to someone! When that person showed up, I realized that the one Old Master Jiang wanted to introduce me to was Ji Jian!”

“Hiss!” Han Xinyan gasped in surprise.

“So, what did you two talk about?”

The fact that Jiang Anbang had actively arranged this meeting with Ji Jian, especially under the current circumstances, left Han Xinyan curious.

After thinking for a moment, she quickly guessed Jiang Anbang’s intentions, but she still chose to ask, as only Shen Fei’s words would make it official.

“What did we talk about? Naturally, we discussed Ji Jian’s future development! Within two years, the photolithography machine will definitely be developed! Even better than the ones in the U.S.!” Shen Fei said confidently.

“So?” Han Xinyan’s heart skipped a beat.

“So, I’ve brought Ji Jian onboard! I’ll provide the funds, and Ji Jian will handle the research! We can pick from the best domestic research talents!” Shen Fei said.

“That’s it?” Han Xinyan was stunned.

“Yeah! Just achieving that is already quite difficult!” Shen Fei lowered his gaze, deeply focused on Ji Jian’s image in the phone video.

“Every year, we’re talking about investments of at least tens of billions! Ji Jian said two years, but that’s too definite. The actual timeline will depend on how smoothly the research goes! Whether it can actually be developed is another matter! So, it’s definitely not simple! Right now, just achieving this is already an incredibly long road ahead!”

Shen Fei couldn’t help but sigh.

“Have you made your decision?” Han Xinyan asked, stunned.

“Yeah! Putting aside everything else, just the fact that the photolithography machine could be developed is enough to be exciting! The future is in high-tech, and if we want long-term development, we must enter the tech field. This is our stepping stone! Furthermore, once the photolithography machine is developed, the core of technology will be firmly in our hands, just like the formula for scar cream—unique and irreplaceable! So, even if we fail in the end, I will still invest!” Shen Fei said loudly.

There was one thing Shen Fei didn’t mention.

That was, he already knew that Ji Jian’s research this time would definitely succeed!

And saying this was just to reassure Han Xinyan!

After hearing Shen Fei’s firm answer, Han Xinyan felt a sense of astonishment, but also a surge of pride and joy.

Yet, despite this, she still furrowed her brows and asked,

“Is this a gamble? In this case, is bringing Ji Jian onboard for the future development of the company?”

—————- END —————-

Chapter 318: A Stitch in Time Saves Nine!

“Yeah, it’s naturally for the future development of the company!”

As he spoke, Shen Fei gave a bitter smile.

“I know, national duty is our responsibility as Chinese people! But as for contributing to the country, we’re far from enough!”

“Why do you say that?” Han Xinyan asked, confused.

“Think about it, our company has only just started developing; are we qualified for that? Clearly not! Moreover, the future is the age of high technology. If we don’t plan ahead, how can we expect to lead in the tech era? To the outside world, we’re just a nouveau riche company; how would top-tier tech talent be willing to come to us? Just having Ji Jian is obviously not enough. As for contributing to the country, we’re still far from it!”

“So right now, we can only have Ji Jian work on developing the photolithography machine! Once it succeeds, and the photolithography machine is out there, our status will immediately change. We’ll become the leading scouts in the tech field! This new identity will make it easier for us to attract more top talent! Only then will we truly have the qualification to say that we’re contributing to the country!”

“Ji Jian is just the beginning. In the future, through Ji Jian, we’ll meet more high-end talents! Right now, most of the top talents have been poached by well-known companies! If we want to find a few top-notch talents, it’s already not easy! If we don’t firmly secure Ji Jian, it will be even harder for us to enter the tech field in the future!”

“So, with Ji Jian, we’ll change the current situation in no time! All the top talents will find ways to come to our company, and by then, we really won’t be short of talent anymore! The Chinese government will also benefit from this! At that time, we’ll be able to proudly say that we’re also talented people contributing to the country!”

What Shen Fei said left Han Xinyan stunned.

It had only been four or five hours since Shen Fei told her he was going to the Jiang family mansion. His meeting with Ji Jian was probably even shorter.

But in just a few hours, Shen Fei had already thought through so much? Even the future development of the company had been planned out so clearly?

Suppressing her surprise, Han Xinyan couldn’t help but admire Shen Fei’s far-reaching vision once again.

The current Shen Fei was so different from before!

“Have you thought about what the U.S. will do when they find out?” Han Xinyan frowned slightly.

“Hmph, what can they do?”

Shen Fei snorted dismissively.

“Besides, what can they do? Right now, the only product we have is scar cream! Can they stop the scar cream from entering their market? We haven’t even expanded our market abroad yet! Even if we do, they have no way to stop us! The U.S. is all about capital! There’s no country in the face of profit; they won’t let this opportunity slip!”

“Stop worrying about things that don’t matter! Our domestic market isn’t even stable yet. We don’t have time to think about what’s happening abroad. Besides, when scar cream enters the foreign market, it will be because there’s a problem abroad. Otherwise, the U.S. won’t be able to do anything to us!”

Seeing how sincere and determined Shen Fei was, Han Xinyan felt helpless.

She had been focused on how to manage the scar cream product well, but Shen Fei was different.

Shen Fei had long-term vision and plans, and he was full of confidence for the future.

For a moment, Han Xinyan suddenly felt lost.

She realized that she had always been following Shen Fei, one step at a time.

But when she looked down at her shoes, she felt like she could no longer catch up with him.

The gap between them seemed to be growing wider.

Seeing Han Xinyan in a daze, Shen Fei changed the subject.

Instead of talking about Ji Jian, he brought up the matter of the bodyguards.

“Xu Nana and Zhao Ran have already moved into the building across from us, right?”

“Yeah! They moved in tonight! Deng Xin has already arranged everything! Xu Nana and Zhao Ran are staying across, while Deng Xin, Mo Xiang, and Yuan Song are downstairs!” Han Xinyan answered truthfully.

“Good!” Shen Fei said with satisfaction.

“Shen Fei, after spending the day with them, I feel like Yuan Song, Zhao Ran, and Mo Xiang are a bit mysterious! Do you know their backgrounds? After spending a day with them, I think Nana is easier to get along with!” Han Xinyan asked, looking at him with curiosity.

“We don’t need to know their backgrounds,” Shen Fei replied with a smile, “But with them around, you and Yueyue’s safety is guaranteed!”

After all, even Shen Fei didn’t know much about their backgrounds.

But this was something he certainly couldn’t tell Han Xinyan directly.

“So, do you think we’re being overly cautious?” Han Xinyan frowned.

She had assumed that Shen Fei would hire just one bodyguard.

She didn’t expect him to bring three!

“No! It’s better to be safe! It will give us peace of mind!” Shen Fei replied.

He then joked,

“Don’t all the celebrities have a bunch of bodyguards following them when they go out? We only have four, that’s fine!”

“This isn’t the same thing!” Han Xinyan said with a roll of her eyes.

“Alright! As long as you and Yueyue are safe under their protection, that’s enough! Otherwise, I’d have to assign ten bodyguards just to feel at ease!” Shen Fei said with a laugh.

After a pause, he suddenly remembered something.

“Oh right, didn’t you want to get a few business cars for the company? Also, we should replace our current cars with bulletproof Hongqi cars! That will be safer!”

“Mm! I’ve already ruled out the Tesla new energy cars! But we both thought of the Hongqi cars! I was thinking about choosing them, but wouldn’t bulletproof cars be a bit too high-profile?” Han Xinyan said helplessly.

“How could it be? This is being prepared for the future! Besides, in the future, we’ll be facing not just people coveting our scar cream, but also those sent by the U.S.! Replacing them with bulletproof cars is necessary!” Shen Fei said firmly.

“Alright, you handle it! I can’t find any sales channels for Hongqi cars anyway!” Han Xinyan replied with a pout.

“Good, it’s settled then! It’s getting late, you should go to sleep. Tomorrow we’ll have to take Yueyue to Widely for her registration!” Shen Fei said, patting her head, his eyes full of affection.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 319: The Yu Family Couple!

The next day.

On the road.

“Mom, Dad, this isn’t the way to Yueyue’s kindergarten!”

The little girl, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, said with confusion.

Xu Nana was driving, with Shen Fei and Han Xinyan sitting in the backseat with the little girl.

Upon hearing the question, Han Xinyan smiled and said, “Yueyue, didn’t Mommy tell you that we’re going to change your kindergarten?”

“But Yueyue doesn’t need to change kindergartens. I can still go to school, right?”

The little girl clearly wasn’t happy about the idea of changing kindergartens. She had been attending the Big Windmill Kindergarten since she could remember.

“There are so many of my little friends at Big Windmill Kindergarten! And my favorite little teacher! If I change schools, I won’t be able to see them anymore!”

The little girl pouted, her big, watery eyes brimming with tears.

“Yueyue, when you miss your little friends and teachers at Big Windmill, Mommy can take you to see them! But in the new kindergarten, you will make many new friends and experience lots of new things you haven’t tried before!”

Han Xinyan tried to comfort her, understanding the sadness in her heart. She didn’t want Yueyue to change schools either, but for her safety and access to better educational resources, she couldn’t let her stay at the old school.

“But I don’t want to make new friends… The old ones are already so cute…”

The little girl spoke in a hurt tone, her voice getting quieter.

Seeing his daughter like this, Shen Fei’s heart ached, but for safety’s sake, he still tried to persuade her.

“Yueyue, Mommy and Daddy don’t really want you to change schools either! But let’s try the new kindergarten for one day. If you don’t like it, we’ll bring you back. How about that?”

“Daddy wouldn’t lie to me, right?” The little girl tilted her head and looked at Shen Fei.

“When have I ever lied to you?” Shen Fei smiled.

“Then let’s make a pinky promise!” Yueyue held out her pinky finger.

This made Han Xinyan laugh in spite of herself.

Little did she know, after making the pinky promise with Shen Fei, Yueyue began thinking about how to convince her parents that she didn’t like the new kindergarten.

After driving for a while, they finally arrived at the gate of Weideli Kindergarten.

Rows of luxury cars were parked in front, including Maseratis, Rolls-Royces, and Porsches.

But anyone who knew about Weideli would understand that compared to those famous supercars, the families driving more ordinary cars like Mercedes and Audi were the ones with real influence.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that 99% of those driving unassuming cars held government positions at or above the deputy director level!

As Shen Fei and Han Xinyan got out of the car with Yueyue, they immediately attracted quite a bit of attention. After all, Shen Fei’s recent reputation in the business world, due to the scandal online and the apology video, had made him quite well-known.

However, most of the looks people gave him were filled with mild surprise.

After all, in their minds, the daughter of the Shen family wasn’t quite the kind of person who should be entering Weideli!

Just then, a voice called out, blocking their path.

“Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen!”

The voice made both of them pause and turn to look behind them.

A tall man, accompanied by a beautiful woman with a scholarly air and a mischievous-looking little boy, walked toward them with smiles.

“Hmm? Do I know you?” Shen Fei squinted, not recognizing the man.

But there was something vaguely familiar about him.

“It’s normal that you don’t recognize us, Mr. Shen, hahaha!” The man laughed and introduced himself.

“My name is Yu Hewei, this is my wife Zheng Li, and this is my youngest son Yu Haoxuan!”

As he introduced himself, the man and woman politely extended their hands.

After hearing their names, Shen Fei suddenly remembered that Old Master Jiang Anbang had mentioned that Yu Shuzi’s youngest grandson was also attending this kindergarten.

Now that he thought about it, the man and woman before him must be Yu Shuzi’s son and daughter-in-law!

“How is Yu Shuzi doing?” Shen Fei smiled and shook their hands.

After scanning the three of them, his gaze lingered on Yu Hewei. He seemed to have heard that name before, but now he couldn’t quite remember the details.

“Very well, very well! When my father heard that you were planning to transfer your daughter to Weideli Kindergarten, he specifically asked me to bring Haoxuan here to meet Yueyue! When kids first go to a new kindergarten, they’re always scared. If they meet each other, it’ll be better!”

Zheng Li smiled and explained.

Upon hearing this, Han Xinyan was taken aback.

She was already astonished that Jiang Anbang had gotten involved because of Yueyue’s transfer. But now, it seemed that even Yu Shuzi was aware of the situation and had sent his son and daughter-in-law with his grandson to meet Yueyue.

It was simply unbelievable!

“You must be Shen Jiayue? My name is Yu Haoxuan! From now on, you’ll be my little follower!”

Yu Haoxuan raised his chin and said confidently after seeing Yueyue, then reached out to take her hand as a gesture of welcome.

This interaction made Yueyue, who was already an outgoing girl, brighten up immediately.

“Still, we have to thank Yu Shuzi for his concern! We truly appreciate it!” Shen Fei said with a smile.

“Mr. Shen, you should know, my father always handles business with formality, whether it’s in public or private! But Mr. Shen, you are an exception!” Yu Hewei laughed.

For them, hearing what Yu Guotu had instructed them to do was truly shocking.

After all, they were not unfamiliar with Shen Fei’s name. Recently, there had been quite a bit of controversy online about him, and the popular Scar Removal Ointment was also his creation.

But even so, they didn’t expect his father to personally give such an instruction.

“Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Yu Shuzi! I still have much to work on!” Shen Fei said humbly.

“You’re too modest! My father never misjudges people!” Yu Hewei said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Zheng Li took the opportunity to hand them a business card.

“Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, it’s almost time for class, so we’ll take our leave now! Here’s our business card, we’ll be in touch!”

Shen Fei and Han Xinyan took the business card.

After reading the details, both of them were astonished.

Zheng Li was a professor at the prestigious Shenzhen University of Science and Technology!

Yu Hewei was a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences!

However, the Yu couple didn’t find their reactions unusual.

“Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, we’re just ordinary employees. Compared to you, we’re far from your level!”

“Don’t say that! You two are young and have achieved so much, you’re truly exceptional!” Shen Fei said with a smile.

“We’re not as accomplished as Mr. Shen!” Yu Hewei laughed.

“If you’re in a hurry, feel free to leave first!” Shen Fei said with a smile.

The Yu couple then smiled and said their goodbyes to the Shen family.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 320: You Deserve It!

When the two families parted ways, Yu Haoxuan quickly waved at Shen Jiayue.

Then, he followed his parents into the kindergarten.

Not long after, the director of teaching from Weideli Kindergarten, who was coordinating with Shen Fei, appeared at the school gate.

Seeing Shen Fei and Han Xinyan, he hurried over.

“Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, my apologies, I was delayed by something! I’ve already prepared all the necessary documents, we can start the procedure right away!”

“It’s fine, no problem,” Shen Fei said casually.

After Old Master Jiang Anbang had made prior arrangements, all the procedures went smoothly.

Shen Jiayue’s transfer was completed without any issues.

Under the guidance of the director, Shen Jiayue completely forgot about what she had said in the car earlier, joyfully skipping into the new kindergarten.

Shen Fei and Han Xinyan, meanwhile, left Weideli Kindergarten, driven by Xu Nana.

“Shen Fei, do you think Secretary Yu might be paying too much attention to us?” Han Xinyan asked, still a little stunned by what had happened at the kindergarten gate.

“Secretary Yu is probably doing this out of respect for Old Master Jiang Anbang! Otherwise, how could a busy person like him remember something like this?” Shen Fei smiled.

“You do have a point! But no matter what, I believe that with Secretary Yu’s grandson leading Jiayue, she will come to like this kindergarten! With a familiar face, Jiayue won’t have to worry about being bullied!” Han Xinyan said, feeling a bit emotional.

“I think you’re overthinking it! Your daughter is the one who bullies others, not the other way around!” Shen Fei teased.

“You’re funny! This isn’t the Big Windmill Kindergarten. The children there come from wealthy and influential families. If Jiayue causes trouble, it won’t be a small matter!” Han Xinyan said with a slight frown.

“Stop worrying! Jiayue is not that kind of child! And even if she does end up in a conflict, it won’t be because she started it! No matter who it is, whether it’s the richest person in Shenzhen or the top official, if Jiayue is in the right, I won’t let her be wronged!” Shen Fei said firmly.

“Alright, alright, I didn’t say anything! But you’re really overthinking this,” Han Xinyan replied helplessly.

After a pause, she seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, “I didn’t realize Secretary Yu’s son is a researcher! You should stay in touch with him. In the future, when we develop things like photolithography machines and other high-tech products, it will definitely be useful!”

“Yeah! But the name Yu Hewei sounds familiar to me,” Shen Fei said, a thoughtful look on his face.

“Hmm? What do you mean by that?” Han Xinyan asked, confused.

“I have this sense of familiarity, but I just can’t remember why,” Shen Fei replied truthfully.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

After all, in his past life, he had clearly remembered all the important events and people. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to develop the scar-removal cream so quickly. He wouldn’t have made so many friends.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t remember anything about Yu Hewei.

The only familiar feeling was vague at best.

Could it be that Yu Hewei didn’t do anything significant in his past life? Or perhaps, he didn’t pay attention to this name when he visited the research institute?

He couldn’t recall, so Shen Fei decided to drop it.

After sending Han Xinyan back to Xinyue Group, Shen Fei had Deng Xin drive him to Yunheshu.

Although the auction for Lake Mountain was still unknown, he needed to get the design plans and proposals ready before the auction started. By the time the auction began, Duan Guxiang and the others would be able to start working immediately.

And he would continue with his own business.

On the way, Deng Xin glanced at Shen Fei through the rearview mirror.

“Mr. Shen, I’ve already contacted several people regarding our security consulting company’s employees!”

“Mm, what did they say? Are they willing to join?” Shen Fei raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled.

“Of course! They’re all retired soldiers! While they were in the military, they received subsidies, so other than sending some money back home, they didn’t have to worry about much. But after retiring, without the official subsidy, and not finding any satisfying work, they became very anxious!” Deng Xin explained.

Before Shen Fei could respond, Deng Xin continued, “I reached out to some friends who were in the same unit with me, and none of them had taken the work assigned after their discharge. When I contacted them, they were all unemployed! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to bring it up! Mr. Shen, although they are retired, their skills are still reliable! If you need them…”

Deng Xin didn’t finish his sentence, but Shen Fei immediately understood what he was trying to say.

“I get it! How many people are we talking about?”

“About fifteen so far, that’s the number I’ve contacted. If Mr. Shen needs more, I can keep reaching out!” Deng Xin said.

“Do they want to do this work?” Shen Fei asked.

“Of course! When they were soldiers, they didn’t want to do such work, but after leaving the army, it’s hard to find a satisfactory job, so this job with a decent salary is hard to turn down! But even so, they still have morals and a sense of integrity. They won’t do anything that goes against their principles, even if they’re fired!” Deng Xin said.

“Mm, of course! Let’s see how many more people we can recruit! We’ll need to train them, and the starting salary will be set at 20,000 per month. Once the company is officially operational, we can adjust their salaries accordingly. How does that sound?” Shen Fei said sincerely.

Deng Xin was stunned when he heard this.

A salary of 20,000 during training?

And considering their physical condition, did they really need training?

“Mr. Shen, even though they’re retired, they still have the skills! They can be deployed right away, so I don’t think the training is really necessary!” Deng Xin said, clearly puzzled.

Shen Fei shook his head slightly, signaling his disagreement.

“Deng Xin, you’re mistaken! What I want to build is a militarized bodyguard team, not just an ordinary security company! So, training is absolutely necessary!”

Shen Fei said seriously.

If he were just building a regular security company, he wouldn’t bother putting in so much effort.

What he wanted was to build a top-tier security consulting company!

Deng Xin paused for a moment, realizing that what Shen Fei was trying to create wasn’t just any regular company.

But he didn’t push the issue further and continued, “Mr. Shen, even so, a monthly salary of 20,000 during training seems a bit much! They definitely don’t deserve that much.”

“No, they deserve it! This is my way of showing respect for their past!” Shen Fei said.

Hearing this, Deng Xin suddenly felt honored and quietly thanked Shen Fei.
