Chapter 1010: Catherine's Choice

Send Weiweian to the traditional Chinese medicine hospital, let her go treat her obesity.

When she was in her teens, Weiweian was very pretty.

Like most Yingjiang people, after her twenties, her figure began to change rapidly.

Their family wasn't a wealthy family.

So they couldn't afford a good healthy diet, nor could they become healthy.

Originally, neither of them were people who loved exercise.

You don't despise me, and I don't despise you.

But after coming to Qiongzhou, that was no longer possible.

On the street, everyone had a well-proportioned figure, looking healthy and energetic.

As a fat person, he was very out of place.

Moreover, his little assistant would often remind him to pay attention to his health.

It seemed as if not losing weight was a grave sin.

So he became a client of the Qiongzhou TCM practitioners.

He was regulating his weight loss through conditioning to restore his physical health.

No way, Qiongzhou's TCM is too developed; what is TCM best at?

Conditioning.

Now he has to practice Supreme Ultimate every morning.

Every week he has to do a foot bath, full-body massage, or other conditioning.

As for food, he eats all kinds of medicinal cuisine.

The effect was obvious; he began to lose weight, his skin kept getting better, and his energy kept increasing.

When he first saw Weiweian at the airport.

He even felt a little disdain for Weiweian's obesity.

So he immediately sent Weiweian over to lose weight.

Because of Jason's matter.

Lao Jieke decided to ask Catherine and Betty.

They left contact information during their livestream.

Catherine had already boarded the plane to Daxia with her luggage.

Sitting on the plane, having just let out a breath of relief, she saw Lao Jieke's video call.

She hesitated a moment, then answered.

On the video, both of their expressions were a bit solemn.

Lao Jieke took the initiative to greet.

"Hi, Catherine, being able to connect the video call, I'm so happy."

Catherine forced a smile.

"Very glad to see you, Lao Jieke."

Lao Jieke then got a clear look at Catherine's surroundings.

"Are you on a plane?"

Catherine nodded.

"Yes, Lao Jieke, what's the matter?"

An embarrassed expression crept onto Lao Jieke's face.

He felt a bit ashamed; if it weren't for his livestream, this wouldn't have happened.

"Are you alright?"

Lao Jieke's guilt made Catherine feel a bit better.

"Alright."

"I'm currently on the flight to Daxia."

"Yingjiang temporarily doesn't welcome me."

Lao Jieke felt even more guilty.

"Want to come to Qiongzhou?"

"I'll go pick you up."

Catherine shook her head and refused.

"I'm going to Daxia to have a look, not to flee."

"Jason's words made me think a lot."

"I want to go see for myself how far Daxia's development has come."

"If it's really as he said, we should wake up more people."

"Lao Jieke, the matter started because of you; do you want to join me?"

Lao Jieke hesitated a moment, then, under Catherine's gaze, he difficultly nodded.

"I can go with you, but I cannot leave Qiongzhou."

"In the short term, I also will not go back to Yingjiang."

"I'm not alone; I still have my wife Weiweian."

"She left her homeland because of me."

"I don't want to drag her into this."

I hope you understand.

Catherine didn't mean to drag Lao Jieke into trouble.

Your livestream is the best publicity.

You just need to cooperate with me.

You won't be made to do dangerous things.

Moreover, in my view, perhaps Kickstep is our main battlefield.

At this moment, she heard someone was about to enter first class.

She held back her words.

Alright, that's it, the plane will take off soon.

She quickly hung up the phone.

The person who came in was Qiao Zhi.

Seeing Qiao Zhi, Catherine frowned slightly.

Qiao Zhi smiled at Catherine.

What a coincidence, Catherine, are you also going to Daxia?

Catherine returned him a smile.

President Qiao Zhi, I didn't expect to meet you here.

Seeing you, I feel more relieved.

Qiao Zhi's face stiffened for a moment, then instantly relaxed.

Catherine, what are you saying?

You're going to Daxia, I'm going to Daxia too.

But I'm going to do business; I don't know about Miss Catherine.

Catherine covered herself with a blanket and adjusted the seat to lie flat.

Only then did she answer Qiao Zhi's words.

I work in international research, so I naturally need to move around more.

Especially when someone doesn't want me to stay peacefully in Yingjiang.

It's just poor Jie Sen; someone took his benefits yet didn't let him go.

Hearing such words, Qiao Zhi could no longer pretend, and his face turned grim.

Some things, you just need to know yourself; there's no need to speak them out.

Does he think others don't know? Only he knows?

A savior isn't something anyone who wants to can become.

Some people just can't figure out their own position.

This result isn't surprising either.

Catherine glanced at him, her tone also turning cold.

Not letting people speak?

Is this how you handle problems?

I never imagined you couldn't even tolerate an ordinary person.

Qiao Zhi also stopped pretending, lying back in the seat, and said disdainfully.

Does he think pointing out the problem will solve it?

Naive, that will only increase the difficulty of handling the problem.

Do you still dream of all of Yingjiang boarding this Daxia train?

Is that possible? Daxia has its own circle, just like we have ours.

They also can't escape the path of equilibrium strategy.

Nobody wants to nurture a powerful enemy.

No matter how well Daxia speaks, suppressing our development is inevitable.

Moreover, they are likely to cultivate other countries on our continent.

Let Yingjiang lose its advantageous geographical position.

We are likely to be confined to that land, constantly facing various forces, even our internal strife.

You think you're smart, even giving yourselves a sense of mission.

But you don't realize you might just be frogs in a well.

Yingjiang is our foundation; we don't want it to have problems more than anyone else.

Catherine listened to his words without showing much reaction.

Will things really be as Qiao Zhi said?

She studies international relations, knowing the possibilities therein.

But when facing Daxia, she lacks a bit of confidence, because they have their own logic, not following conventional reasoning.

She even thinks Daxia is overly restrained.

Seeing mangy dogs constantly provoking at her doorstep, yet never taking action to beat them to death with a stick.

Do they lack this capability?

Obviously not.

Then why are they so restrained?

Is Daxia, as they say, not creating disputes but only promoting peace?

She wanted to deny it, because it didn't make sense.

But Daxia's history also told her, they don't like to wage war.

Just look at the countries around him and you'll know.

One by one, the small states, if following their logic, would have long been annexed.

And how could they have been allowed to be passed down for thousands of years, becoming stable states?
