Chapter 361: So What Will You Give Me?

"For this period, let Jiang Li follow you," the old gentleman arranged.

An Yinan hurriedly waved her hands, "No need, I won't be in any danger."

She was just going to the Project Department to translate; there was no danger at all, so why would she need someone from here?

The people here were all arranged by the Military District; the old gentleman's safety was the top priority!

"Let her follow you; once your mission ends, let her come back."

"That child needs a companion, needs a bit of spirit," the old gentleman said directly.

Once An Yinan heard this, she realized, that's it, this was an order.

Her words carried little weight, and she couldn't argue it either.

What to do? Just accept it!

"Fine, I'll take the little friend with me, but what will you give me then?" An Yinan asked jokingly.

Professor Feng was stunned, Feng Zhong was stunned.

Even the old gentleman was stunned for a moment; after all, for so long, no one had dared to speak to him like this.

This girl, she really dared!

"What do you want?" The old gentleman was expressionless; no one knew what his attitude was.

An Yinan, on the contrary, really thought about it; it seemed there was nothing she wanted, as anything she wanted, she could earn with her own hands.

She tilted her head up and cocked it to the side, "Haven't thought of it yet, you can just owe it to me for now!"

The old gentleman, who had kept a straight face for a long time, finally smiled helplessly, "It could only be you, this girl!"

As he smiled, the pressure from just a moment ago suddenly dissipated.

"You are the first person who has dared to let me owe them."

An Yinan was unconvinced, "Sir, it is you who owes me, not me who owes you; you're the one profiting, okay?"

"Yes, I am profiting!" the old man echoed.

"Report!" A female voice rang out.

And that efficient Jiang Li walked in from outside and went before the old gentleman.

"I have a mission for you; during the time she is on her mission, you are to protect her safety," the old man said.

"Yes!" Jiang Li saluted immediately, then stood behind An Yinan.

She recognized this person; her skills were on par with her own.

Her name was An Yinan.

She remembered her name.

"Then I'm leaving; you must keep up your daily routine," An Yinan stood up, put on her schoolbag, and didn't forget to urge the old man once more.

"Hurry up and go." The old man pointed outside, meaning for her to leave quickly and stop being a nuisance!

An Yinan didn't say anything else and walked straight out.

And Professor Feng was looking at the old man at this moment, sizing him up.

"What are you looking at? Come over and drink tea!" The old man brewed a pot of tea and shouted directly.

Professor Feng said, "Didn't that girl say not to drink tea?"

The old man, who had just picked up his teacup, paused, but in the end, he put the cup down.

Professor Feng saw everything, "You seem different toward her."

That feeling was hard to describe; usually, the gentleman was unfathomable, but these two times with An Yinan present, they could all feel the gentleman's happiness.

The gentleman even cared very much about An Yinan's words.

"How am I different? A patient must listen to the Doctor," the old man struggled for a long time, but in the end, he picked up the plain boiled water.

Listen to the Doctor?

If you listened to the Doctor, how could your body be in such a state?

His body was as dilapidated as a rag doll, ready to pass away at any moment.

However, after this month of recuperation, his body was much better than before.

"Why haven't I seen you listen to me?" In the end, he couldn't hold back; the words slipped out without passing through his brain.

The old man looked at him, "Why shouldn't I listen? Shouldn't you think about the reasons on your own end?"

His voice was calm, his speaking speed normal, as if it really were someone else's fault.

"Fine, I won't ask anymore!" Professor Feng knew that even if he asked, the gentleman wouldn't say; he had already overstepped today.

Feng Zhong returned, and only then did the old man speak, "Did you see her off?"

"Saw her off, but Comrade An seemed very tired," Feng Zhong replied.

The old man snorted coldly; running around all day, how could she not be tired?

It seemed she was even busier than he was.

An Yinan brought Jiang Li back to the Xiao Yuan, where a group of people was already waiting.

"You're finally back; is there something up with gathering everyone?" Zhao Qiuhua asked.

A group of people were all waiting here, but Nan Nan hadn't returned.

She had even specifically gone to the university to look for her, but Yun Duo said Nan Nan had asked for leave, and for a long time at that.

She guessed there must be something important, otherwise she wouldn't have specifically gathered everyone together.

"Everyone, just find a place to sit for now." An Yinan pressed her hand down; she hadn't expected that the Traditional Chinese Medicine exam would require writing so many characters, delaying her so much, otherwise she would have been back long ago.

Jiang Li saw the yard full of people; she followed closely behind An Yinan, as the mission she had accepted was to protect her.

"No need to be nervous, they are all people I know; you sit on the side for a while, I need to hold a meeting for everyone," An Yinan looked at her and said soothingly.

Although Jiang Li relaxed, she still stood by An Yinan's side.

I've already said it, if she's happy this way, then let her be.

"Let's take it one step at a time."

The scale is too large and time is tight; she had no other choice but to gather everyone together.

"Liu Jiumu, how many people have been recruited for the workshop?" An Yinan asked.

"Twenty-four have been recruited, and after training, they are ready to start work."

"The only issue now is that there aren't enough machines, otherwise we could start working in two shifts."

"However, three of the people we recruited earlier have left, and we have handled it according to the contract terms." Speaking of this, Liu Jiumu felt a bit sad.

In the workshop, except for Ruo Ran and Er Ya, she had selected everyone else one by one, putting her heart into each of them, yet in the end, they were poached by other workshops.

"To each their own, those who left will never be hired again." There is no need to waste time on people who lack integrity and abandon principles for profit.

Having people poach others can also be considered a good thing.

It can weed out some people.

"Yes, I have already had them sign written agreements as per the terms," Liu Jiumu replied.

"I have already reviewed last month's output, and the shop has provided feedback on the quality; at the end of this month, the workshop will give everyone a red envelope bonus!"

There were no issues with the quality whatsoever, and no customers came back with complaints about quality.

This was the part that pleasantly surprised her.

It was also where Liu Jiumu had put in extra effort.

"These are the semi-finished products I brought back, and I will also arrange for the blueprints for the other two factories to be sent over as soon as possible; I believe they will arrive quickly. There is plenty of work, and how much money everyone earns depends on you!"

"As for the machines, Liu Jiumu, move twenty units from here; keep the rest in the warehouse for now, and they can be allocated later."

An Yinan pointed to the items over there, but because they were secured with wooden frames, no one had paid much attention to them.

Upon hearing that they were sewing machines, everyone in the workshop was excited, especially the new employees, who would finally have their own machines.

"Workshop staff, take the things back and make sure to record them in the inventory," An Yinan instructed.

Then she looked at the shop staff, "Wu Xia, how is the training going on your end?"
