At the Yunshang Hotel, Gu Yi rushed all the way. After calming down his agitated mood, he had a good night's sleep. When he woke up, it was already bright.
Before he could finish packing, he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw a strange man.
The other party took the initiative to identify himself, "Gu Yi, right? I am Wang Gui, and I was asked by Lin Yan to come to you."
Gu Yi was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Did Lin Yan ask you to come?"
"Yes, I am employed by Lin Yan's family. She asked me to take you to her house for dinner."
"Eat?" Gu Yi was surprised. It wasn't like she had just eaten yesterday, and she didn't say this at that time. He looked at Wang Gui with some suspicion, not quite believing what he said.
Wang Gui nodded and explained with a smile: "I was really entrusted by Lin Yan. If you don't believe it, you can ask the people in the hotel."
Their family was also considered a celebrity in Sun City. They were lucky enough to be selected and hired by Lin Yan. Many people wanted such an opportunity.
Unfortunately, you only have one chance. No matter how envious and jealous they are, anyone who wants to get close to Lin Yan through this channel has no chance.
"You are her friend. The old lady asked you to be a guest at home. She personally told her. You can clean up first and I will wait for you outside."
Gu Yi was dubious. After Wang Gui turned around and left, he went to the hotel attendant and asked a few questions. After confirming Wang Gui's identity, he frowned in thought for a few minutes and decided to go.
Since it was Lin Yan's kind invitation, he naturally had to go. As for whether to disturb her, Gu Yi thought she was sincere in sending someone here specifically, and he couldn't live up to it.
It's a pity that he has no money and no gifts, so he can only lick his face and visit as a guest.
Wang Gui drove over in a carriage, the kind with a carriage. After Gu Yi got on the carriage, he looked out through the window with brilliant eyes.
Last night, he stayed on the top floor of the Yunshang Hotel. Through the glass window, he saw the Sun City at night, which was brightly lit and very lively.
However, it feels completely different from what I saw during the day. The streets are wide and clean, with people coming and going. There are lanes for cars and one side for pedestrians. It looks chaotic but reveals order.
Gu Yi also knows the management rules of the alliance city, including sidewalks for pedestrians and lanes for vehicles, but An City is not as orderly as Sun City.
What I saw along the way was something Anseong had never seen before. Even the shabbiest house on the street looks better than the one in Ancheng.
He thought to himself, the people in Sun City are indeed rich, and their food and housing are the best. Gu Yi was sure that the best restaurant in Ancheng would never be able to cook that meal yesterday.
At this moment, he suddenly felt extremely lucky to be able to visit it in person. Even if it cost a lot of money and made his life difficult, it was still worthwhile to take a look.
After getting off the carriage and seeing the obviously high-end residence in front of him, Gu Yi clenched his fists with some restraint.
The people waiting in the room heard the noise and came out. The moment they saw Lin Yan, Gu Yi suddenly became less nervous.
She had already walked over with a smile on her face, "Here you go, come in quickly, we're just in time for breakfast."
Gu Yi smiled and nodded, "Your home is really grand, big and beautiful."
Seeing the bonus waiting at the door, Gu Yi thought that this was Lin Yan's mother-in-law, the old lady in Wang Gui's mouth, and he was about to say hello.
But Hua Hong beat me to it, "Gu Yi, come in quickly. Lin Yan came back last night and talked about you. I also told her, why didn't I bring you home?"
Gu Yi said hurriedly: "I didn't come, I don't blame Lin Yan."
The food was already placed on the table, and the three of them sat down. Huahong warmly greeted Gu Yi to eat.
Lin Yan was sitting and eating. She felt like she was superfluous.
Huahong and Gu Yi talked while eating, but she couldn't get in at all.
Hearing that Gu Yi was married and had two children, Huahong glanced at Lin Yan. There was a profound meaning in it, but Lin Yan just pretended not to understand.
Gu Yi's family cultivates more than 30 acres of land. When it comes to this, the two of them have a common topic, and the bonuses are endless.
Since she stopped going to the ground, she has been completely free. But my passion for farming has not diminished at all, and I always have endless things to talk about when I talk to people.
Huahong recounted her experiences of running a restaurant and farming over the years. When she received a thumbs up and high praise from Gu Yi, her face blossomed into a smile.
Lin Yan looked at this scene and thought that it was indeed right to let Gu Yi come to the house. He and Hua Hong could talk well. Next, he asked A Niang to accompany him to visit Sun City. The old lady must be very happy.
Lin Yan was the first to finish eating and go to work. The two of them, who were enjoying their conversation, watched her leave and turned around to talk again.
Yu Xiuli sent Lin Yan to the gate, and said happily on the way: "It's rare that the old lady is so happy, and the guests are also happy. Don't worry, I will take good care of them."
Lin Yan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. If my grandma and guests have any needs, you just need to cooperate."
As soon as he entered the office and sat down, Hua Min came in and said enthusiastically: "I heard that you invited someone to dinner last night. Who was it?"
Hua Min is now the Minister of Political Affairs and is busy with affairs every day. Lin Yan said angrily: "It seems that work is not busy enough. You actually have time to listen to gossip."
"No, I'm really busy. I've never been as busy as I am now. This is not a break in my busy schedule to come and chat with you. Come on, who are you inviting to dinner?"
When Hua Min heard that Lin Yan was inviting people to dinner, her first reaction was disbelief. Everyone knew that Lin Yan rarely entertained guests. She was busy with experiments recently and had no time to entertain guests.
"Who did you listen to?"
"Many people are speculating. The source cannot be traced. Don't change the topic."
Lin Yan was speechless. She just invited people to have a meal, and it had already spread throughout the night. She said simply: "Gu Yi, you don't know him. He comes from Ancheng, no, Dahe Village to be precise. I met him when I passed by Ancheng for the first time, and I met him twice later. I didn't expect him to meet me." Came to Sun City unexpectedly.”
"He came to you on his own initiative?" Hua Min was surprised. He came all the way to find you. Is there a story?
Lin Yan shook his head, "I met Gu Yi on the street. He is an honest person. He doesn't have the twists and turns you think."
Hua Min spread her hands and said, "Don't blame me. There have been too many people looking for you in the past few years, and the motives are even more impure, making it difficult for people to guard against. I heard that you invited people to your home. Is it true or not?"
Over the years, Lin Yan has been able to invite very few people to his home. There must be something special about Gu Yi being invited to his home.
Lin Yan glared, "It was only an hour ago, and you knew it so quickly?"
"Don't make such a fuss, it's so normal." Hua Min didn't take it seriously. "There are too many people staring at you. Every word and deed you do attracts attention. Don't underestimate your influence. Why did you invite Gu Yi to your home? ?”
Someone had already dug up Gu Yi's identity secretly, but couldn't find anything special. Hua Min was also curious and went directly to the person involved for verification.
"He is considered a friend. He is a new arrival. As the host, I will do my best to show my friendship."
"It's just that simple?" Hua Min didn't believe it. When did Lin Yan become so hospitable.
"That's one thing. There's also another thing. Gu Yi has been saving money for several years just to buy a boat ticket to come to Sun City. It's because of his courage and courage. I admire people like this who dare to think and do things."
Hua Min believed it, this was indeed something Lin Yan could do. "It's a good thing for Gu Yi if you do this. Nowadays, there are many people who are willing to act according to the wind, and more people are spending their efforts on camp. I just don't know if Gu Yi can bear it."
"Why do you care so much? What Gu Yi does depends on his choice." Lin Yan didn't want to test human nature. Whether Gu Yi would take advantage of this special situation to act wantonly or choose to be cautious was all his business. She just needed to know The results will determine your attitude towards him.

Hua Min said no more, and instead said: "I fought with Jin Xing yesterday and lost. You say, I worked so hard, why can't I be as good as you?"
"You still don't work hard enough. If you focus on practicing, you may win."
"Hmph, to put it lightly, as we get to the later stages, the advantage of talent becomes more obvious. I am actually so far behind Shi Zhi, how do you think I can surpass him?"
Lin Yan was speechless, how did she know this. This guy Hua Min sometimes practices hard and sometimes relaxes. Who can blame him if he can't persevere.
Suddenly, she froze for a moment, and using her mental power to observe carefully, she really noticed something was wrong.
Seeing Lin Yan suddenly staring at him blankly, his calmness turned to surprise, and then he smiled. Hua Min tensed up and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?" He always felt that something was beyond his expectations.
Lin Yan stared at Hua Min's face for a few seconds. Seeing that she was really unaware, he said speechlessly: "You don't feel anything is wrong with your body?"
"No, everything is fine."
"Check it yourself."
Hua Min checked carefully, but suddenly her expression was stunned, and there was no movement for a while.
Seeing her like this, Lin Yan knew that she had discovered it, and felt even more complicated. This guy was careless and failed to notice the changes, but what about Shi Zhi.
She asked: "Shi Zhi hasn't been home recently?"
Hua Min came back to her senses and looked at Lin Yan awkwardly, "I was negligent. As you know, when that guy Shi Zhi got busy, he was nowhere to be seen for ten days and a half."
Lin Yan shrugged to express his understanding, but still said: "Go to the hospital for a check-up. I will go with you."
"No, no, you go about your business, I'll go by myself." After saying that, before Lin Yan could say anything, she opened the door and ran away, all her movements done in one go.
Seeing her like this, Lin Yan became even more worried about her stomach.
Before she could decide whether to catch up, Shui Sheng walked in.
"What's wrong with Hua Min? She's so angry that she didn't even look back when I called her."
"I don't care." After Lin Yan finished speaking, he stared at Shui Sheng inexplicably.
Shuisheng's scalp was numb when he looked at it, and he asked uncomfortably: "What are you looking at? What's going on? Is it related to Hua Min?"
"That's right." Lin Yan continued calmly: "Hua Min is pregnant. I just found out."
Shuisheng immediately understood Lin Yan's look just now, and his heart moved. He answered without changing his expression: "How could you find out first?"
"Don't doubt it. It's absolutely true. I noticed it first. Where are you and Hong Ling? When are you going to have a baby?"
Shui Sheng's calm face flashed with a crack, and soon disappeared, "This is a private matter, we have our own plans. What about you, when will you be single?"
Lin Yan was defeated, "Hua Min and Shi Zhi are really big-hearted. If I hadn't looked carefully just now, I don't know when they would have discovered it."
"Haha, you are the hero. Go and claim credit from Shi Zhi and Hua Min. Believe me, they will be very grateful to you."
"Forget it. We're already so familiar. Why are you asking for credit?" Lin Yan decided not to press the topic again, "What are you doing here?"
After being interrupted, Shui Sheng finally remembered that he was on business, "Nanhai Port City sent a batch of sea salt, and Bai Chen brought some things back. Let's go take a look together."
"What is it?" Lin Yan was curious, "Have you seen it?"
"Not yet. Hong Ling read Bai Chen's letter and thought you would be interested, so he asked me to come over and ask you to join us."
Yesterday, Hong Ling took over the delivery of the goods and put them into the treasury. Today, she has to count the goods and ask Shui Sheng and Lin Yan to go there together.
Lin Yan became interested, "Tell me, what is it? It's so mysterious."
"You'll know it when you see it. If you tell it in advance, there will be no surprises."
"You have learned how to tell the truth. However, Bai Chen sent it back specially, so it must be related to her research."
Lin Yan thought about it as he walked, thinking it might be related to rubber research. In the past few years, Bai Chen has taken root in Nanhai Port City. On the surface, he is engaged in city construction, but in fact, he is doing two things, including studying rubber.
The current application of rubber is limited to making wheels, which is the most superficial application.
The two of them moved very quickly, and within five minutes they arrived at the large courtyard where the treasury was located. Cars were coming and going, making it very lively.
She was checking off a list when she saw Hong Ling. This batch of sea salt is huge in quantity and was produced in the first half of this year. It was shipped and stored in one go.
"Hong Ling, what on earth is it? I asked Shuisheng, but he never said anything." Lin Yan asked eagerly.
Hong Ling looked up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll finish this list and take you there."
It was ten minutes later when he saw the things. Hong Ling stored the tightly wrapped pile of things in a separate warehouse.
"These were specially sent back by Bai Chen." Hong Ling said, opening a sack and revealing the black mass inside.
Lin Yan exclaimed, "It's a wire. Bai Chen is so awesome."
She had already looked through it with her mental power. There were more than a dozen sacks filled with wires of different thicknesses, all of which were wrapped with insulation layers, which were urgently needed by the scientific research institute.
Shuisheng picked up the wire and observed it carefully. "The copper wire is wrapped with a layer of rubber. It is so fine and tight that the seams cannot be seen. Bai Chen has really worked hard."
Lin Yan had already walked to another pile of wooden boxes, opened the box, and saw all kinds of strange rubber products, which Bai Chen made based on the books she provided.
There are handlebars, rubber pads, shoe soles, rubber rings, etc. There are dozens of types, which is enough to show that the research laboratory of Nanhai Port City has really worked hard to find various uses for rubber.
In this way, corresponding research projects of the scientific research institute can be started.
In addition to these things, Bai Chen also sent back a small black box. It was very small but made of the most special materials, which could isolate it from mental exploration.
The three of them stared at the small box, wondering what was inside.
"Didn't Bai Chen mention it in the letter?" Lin Yan asked. The packaging was so expensive, it must be something very important. Bai Chen would never forget it when he wrote the letter.
Hong Ling affirmed: "The letter didn't mention it. It only mentioned the wires and those boxes. This small box is packed in a wooden box. Bai Chen stored it very carefully."
If they didn't open the wooden box and look, they might not be able to notice the existence of the small box.
