Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

"Elder, this is definitely something I want to say myself."

Director Li said with a sheepish smile, "And I'm considering this for the sake of our country... Am I right?"

"Wrong!"

The Ouyang patriarch slammed the table and shouted, "Completely wrong! You, a manager, what do you know about technology? To even dare meddle in this matter, do you think that the nonsense you're spouting would be accepted by us? Let me tell you, we're not people blinded by self-interest, unlike you!"

"You're speaking too harshly!"

Director Li spoke sternly, "That's exactly what I think, which is why I brought it up. Am I wrong? What if Song Yun goes abroad in the future? What if he is influenced by others to alter the formula? Don't we need to take precautions?"

"No need! Even if you ran off, Song Yun wouldn't!"

The Ouyang patriarch spoke coolly, "You have no idea what Song Yun has done! Just shut your mouth! His work is confidential, and he is utterly loyal!"

"But..."

"No buts, Vice Director Li, let's put an end to this matter. I hope you won't leave me with a bad impression."

Chief Ni interrupted, "Song Yun, everything you have researched can remain unpublished with the formula kept secret, but may I relay a question from the higher-ups? If the state takes the lead in such a project, and invests in your research institute—not a lot, just a small stake—it would also be a well-founded endeavor. How about that?"

"If only we had this conversation earlier."

Song Yun said with a smile, "You didn't even need to ask, I was already going to propose it. After all, holding onto it myself indeed feels a bit hot to handle. How about this, I transfer twenty percent of the shares of Grey Deer Research Institute to the state, how does that sound?"

"That's quite a lot already."

Chief Ni said with a smile, "Well then, we'll send someone to sign the contract with you another day. Today let's not talk shop and together let's enjoy the joy of this success!"

"Right, right, I too hope that the state will act as the leading party. No matter who it is, even the Forty-nine City Scientific Research Institute, they're not worthy."

Elder Gong said with a kind smile.

With everyone saying that, Director Li felt very awkward, standing there like a fool!

He glanced at everyone present and left with a cold snort.

The effect of the potion had worn off, and the rabbits used for the experiment were still hopping around healthily, which meant the experiment was a success!

The tension in everyone's hearts finally eased.

"Song Yun, we shall meet again. I hope you can develop more gene potions."

Chief Ni stretched out his hand and shook hands with Song Yun, "The higher-ups are waiting for my report of the good news, so I'll take my leave first."

"Take care."

Song Yun and the others saw Chief Ni off to his car and then returned to the private room.

"Elder, where are my wife and the others?"

Song Yun asked with a goofy smile on his face, scratching the back of his head.

"Oh? I thought you had forgotten about them."

The Ouyang patriarch laughed heartily, "You're asking the wrong person for them; they've gone to the Bai family."

"What?"

Song Bu said with a troubled expression, "Out of all places, why did they have to go back to their maternal home..."

"Come on, Song, are you afraid of your father-in-law? Wasn't that all in the past?"

The Ouyang patriarch teased.

"It's not exactly fear, it just... doesn't sit well with me..."

Song Bu smacked his lips and said, "Son, why don't you go fetch your mother and let's head back right away?"

"Isn't that a bit much... If we just leave like this, wouldn't it seem a bit rude? Others might think we've had some kind of disagreement."

Song Yun said, torn, "Besides, my mom is so smart, do you really think she doesn't see through your little schemes? What if she gets angry and beats me up?!"

"That won't happen!"

Song Bu said assertively, "At her parents' house, she'd at least save you some face."

"No way! If you don't want to go, just sleep at the Ouyang Family's, but I have to take a look. When my mom asks why you didn't come, I'll just tell her the truth!"

"Oh, great! Backstabber! Fine, I'll go with you!"

Song Bu sighed and said, "They say that sons are there to rely on in old age, but my son! Ah!"

A group of people took a special car to the Bai Family's residence.

Bai Jingbing had received the news in advance and was waiting at the gate early.

You should know that Song Yun was no longer that young kid. Who in Forty-nine City didn't know that Song Yun had caught the eye of 'that person,' and his rise to prominence was just around the corner!

"You scamp, you've caused quite the commotion lately."

Bai Jingbing said with a smile as he thumped Song Yun in the chest, "Last time you were back in Forty-nine City, you didn't even come to visit. Your grandma has been talking about it non-stop."

"It's my fault, all my fault."

Song Yun put his palms together and hastily apologized, "Last time, I was in such a rush to get home, I didn't visit anyone. Didn't I come to the family home first after finishing my business in Forty-nine City this time?"

"At least you have some conscience, kid."

Having said this, Bai Jingbing then looked at Song Bu, who was still sitting in the car, and said in a displeased tone, "What, must I, your little brother-in-law, personally invite you to come out?"

"Heh, feeling a bit carsick."

Song Bu felt a mix of emotions. In theory, he shouldn't be afraid of the Bai Family anymore, right?

But... coming back here still made him feel apprehensive...

The incident of running off with his wife was still playing on a loop in his head, making him somewhat timorous.

"Come on, my sister is waiting inside!"

Bai Jingbing gave Song Bu a look and pulled Song Yun into the house. Explore stories at empire

When the Bai Family heard Song Yun had arrived, they all crowded in the street to catch a glimpse of this formidable man!

Of course, this time their gazes were filled with respect.

"Song Yun, your uncle had to go on a business trip for some matters, so he couldn't welcome you. Don't take it to heart."

Bai Jingbing mentioned offhandedly.

Song Yun didn't take it seriously; after all, this was his mother's family home, and he had to show some respect to his elders no matter what.

"It's fine, we're all family here, no need to be so formal."

Several people arrived at the living room where Bai Qiu was chatting with Ye Qingqing and several others.

"Have you taken care of everything?"

Bai Qiu asked with a smile.

"All done, Magic Capital can enjoy some peace for a while."

"Hmm, Grandpa Wei said he has something to discuss with you. You should go see him."

After saying this, Bai Qiu continued chatting with her daughter-in-law.

Song Yun truly respected Grandpa Wei from the bottom of his heart. This old man had taught him a lot, and even the family rules had brought him countless benefits!

"I'm on my way."

Song Yun gave his father a 'wish-you-luck' look and headed to Grandpa Wei's room, relying on his memory.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The door slowly opened, and Grandpa Wei still looked as frail as ever.

"Come in."

Grandpa Wei cleared his throat and said, "I hear you've concocted some sort of potion?"

"Heh, despite not going out, you're still well informed."

Song Yun said with a smile, "Are you also interested in it?"
