After Liu Juanhao was discharged, Gu Lingling returned to the Yao Family.

Because the Su Family intended to host a reception in the Capital City to introduce Gu Lingling to everyone.

They also invited people from the Yao Family and the Gu Family to attend.

Yao Zhenjiang’s leave hadn’t started yet, so Yang Yunhai took Gu Lingling around, both waiting for Yao Zhenjiang and to help Gu Lingling relax a bit during this tense time.

Yao Jingsong’s transportation business was getting better. This rascal was so busy you couldn’t even see his shadow all day.

When Gu Lingling saw him, he was holding a "big brother" phone.

Such phones were quite rare these days.

But since he was running long distances, there were times he wanted to make a call but couldn’t when there was no halfway point. He couldn’t wait for there to be a phone booth to make decisions, could he?

Also, he lost several big deals.

In a fit of anger, Yao Jingsong bought the "big brother" phone.

Initially, Gu Chunhai did not approve of buying it; those things burned money, not only were they expensive, but phone bills were also high.

But later, after securing a few deals, Gu Chunhai felt that whatever Yao Jingsong wanted to do, he should go ahead, realizing his thoughts were outdated and couldn’t keep up with the times.

Information is money, after all.

With his business in Qin City thriving, Yao Jingsong promptly opened a route to Sea City.

Of course, when he reached Sea City, he didn’t go to see Zhao Si’en, only hid and watched her from a distance.

Zhao Si’en was more beautiful than before, with the Zhao Family’s status restored and her father becoming Mayor of Sea City, Zhao Si’en benefited from the rising tide.

Moreover, after enduring hardships those years, the Zhao Family regarded her as even more precious.

Mayor Zhao wanted to give his daughter everything good, compensating for the guilt of those years.

Fortunately, Zhao Si’en was sensible and did not forget her goals because of her father’s position; she often communicated with Gu Lingling. It’s puzzling why she and Yao Jingsong never contacted each other.

Yet both were silently striving hard.

When Yao Jingsong returned from his trips, he learned about his background, which didn’t bother him—their bond was based on his achievements.

Nonetheless, he was very happy to have such a big family, especially with Su Ziqiao whom he always admired, now a real cousin, bringing a sense of closeness.

Once Yao Zhenjiang’s leave started, the family drove three cars to the Capital City.

Gu Chunxia was worried about her daughter Zhao Jingmiao’s situation, so when Gu Chunhai suggested attending the recognition ceremony in the Capital City, she readily agreed without much thought.

Of course, Gu Chunmei had to go too.

She is now a key player at the transformer factory, earning more than at the Li Family, and her status is good there. Li Laishi couldn’t get leave and had to stay home.

Upon hearing about the trip to the Capital City, Li Jiaojiao insisted on going; eventually, Gu Chunmei had no choice but to take her along.

The whole family traveled grandly together, and time wasn’t tight.

Old Sir Gu, Yao Zhenjiang, and Grandma Yao shared a car, driven by Yang Yunhai. The car led the way, not driving too fast. Su Ziqiao honked twice from behind.

During a break, Brother Hai dragged him out for a talk.

After resuming the trip, he drove obediently, slower than Yang Yunhai.

Finally, they arrived in the Capital City.

Mr. Su had already arranged accommodations through the Su Family’s boss.

They stayed right next to the military district compound, at the military district guesthouse.

The environment was excellent and close by.
