“Section Chief, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to the office first.” Chu

Molin still needed to go check on their research results from the past few months.

“Sure, off you go.” Xie Jun knew he was busy. He waved him off with a hand gesture.

“Then Chief, I’m also taking off.” Qin Lang left since Chu Molin had, after their many years apart, he still had to have a chat with Chu Molin.

“Off you go, not sure why none of you can stand to stay here a moment longer?” Xie Jun felt like punching someone.

“Mr. Xie, have you noticed how acquainted Qin Lang seems to be with Molin? It seems like Chu Molin’s family background isn’t simple either.” Xu Fangzhou knew that Qin Lang was from Imperial Capital.

Nobody had mentioned before that he knew Chu Molin, who got selected into the research institute right after retiring from service.

One could say that he’s been in the institute for plenty of years now, and he hadn’t heard Molin mention anything about his past during this time.

But looking at them now, it seemed they were more than just acquaintances, so they must have known each other way back.

“Mr. Xu, I won’t hide it from you, the higher-ups are really optimistic about this reform.

They’ve made it clear that if things go well, Chu Molin might be transferred, and I’d truly miss such a promising talent.” As Xie Jun contemplated, he had been with Chu Molin for many years.

Their relationship, built through mutual support and growth, was solid.

But he wouldn’t want to hold back Chu Molin from a promising future, no matter how reluctant he was to let go, he would inevitably have to let go when the time came.

“That was bound to happen sooner or later, Molin’s achievements are already enough for a promotion.

It’s only because of his age. If the results of this research and training are good, it would be a chance for him to get promoted.

Isn’t there a spot in the academy this time? You should tell Molin to go. Once he graduates, he’ll be a leader, which would benefit him. Given Molin’s achievements, his potential is limitless.” Xu Fangzhou sighed at the vast gap between people.

“Well, that’s what I was thinking too, I’ll find a chance to ask him.” Xie Jun originally planned to recommend Chu Molin to study at the academy, it was an opportunity not everyone was given.

“That’s good, but I wonder if Qin Xue might be an issue?” Xu Fangzhou thought of Qin Xue’s big belly, Chu Molin might not want to leave while she was pregnant.

“Don’t underestimate Qin Xue, can you see any other woman as formidable as

her? Have you noticed the changes in Fang Hong and Yu Xiu?

Do you think Qin Xue will become an obstacle for Chu Molin? I don’t think so, Chu Molin will only work harder, as his wife is no ordinary woman, don’t you agree?” Xie Jun didn’t think Qin Xue would slow Chu Molin down, in fact, she might even be his motivation.

With a wife so accomplished, would Chu Molin, as her husband, willingly stagnate here?

No, he wouldn’t, he would only work harder so he could be on par with Qin Xue, or even surpass her.

“You’re right, my thoughts were misguided.” Xu Fangzhou thought of how his own wife had changed over the days.

His wife was getting increasingly younger and beautiful, and he was afraid that one day he wouldn’t be able to keep up with her.

He often wondered if his wife had suitors in the city? He even feared that someone might trick her into leaving him.

“It’s good you understand, I think Fang Hong is becoming more and more confident, she’s like a whole new person.” Xie Jun was proud of his wife’s changes.

However, his wife said he couldn’t touch her for the coming three months, so out of fear of not being able to resist, he often spent nights at the inn instead of coming home, afraid that his wife might be tricked into leaving him..
