Chapter 693: Chapter 434 Statue

"Eh? Where did they go?"

After seeing off a group of customers, the boss and his wife suddenly realized that Lin Haitang and her companion had left without them noticing.

Underneath the empty plates, there was a small stack of RMB...

...

The two walked away from the barbecue stand, strolling through the bustling night market, occasionally stopping to buy some snacks.

As if influenced by the people around him, Meng Lang’s normally tense nerves relaxed, and all thoughts of "madmen," "beasts," and the "Night Demon Clan" were thrown to the back of his mind.

He felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

This must be what they call "clarity of thought."

The so-called "all things are born from the heart" speaks of holding onto obsessions, of maintaining disciplines and precepts...

Actually, when there is something in the heart, it is there; when it is absent, peace ensues.

A truly wise person lingers on the past and worries about the future, yet knows how to seize the present...

Eating stinky tofu and inhaling the smoky air of the surroundings, he suddenly had an epiphany: perhaps what healed the internal consumption of spirit wasn’t some profound Buddhist Law...

But rather such a beautiful life...

"Look quickly, they are making sugar figurines over there! Zheng Wan, buy me one!"

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice reached his ears.

Meng Lang looked in the direction of the voice, pausing in his step, his face turning strange.

Lin Haitang was busy skewering meatballs into a snack box with a bamboo stick when she noticed Meng Lang suddenly stop. She couldn’t help but follow his gaze.

"What’s wrong? Do you know them?"

It was a young couple; the girl was dragging the boy happily to a stall, their faces lit up with joy as they chose their favorite sugar figurines.

The girl’s smile was radiant; the boy was somewhat shy, but his face was filled with happiness, his gaze towards her sparkling with light.

Meng Lang glanced sideways at the couple’s hands tightly clasped together, then at the stinky tofu in his own hand...

"Not familiar!"

In that moment, he felt as if the clarity of thought that had been so accessible was starting to get clogged again...

How unreasonable!

I’ve been working hard up to this moment, still fighting for a reprieve from the death sentence.

Yet this little brat, even after being framed and convicted, managed to be released from prison...

Is the disparity between people really that great?

emm...

And he still has the energy to stroll through the night market and flaunt his love life, it seems he’s been living too comfortably lately.

As the top disciple of Liang Shanbo, the number one test subject in the ’Ancient Martial Army’: Humanity’s future hope...

Needs more training!

Deep in the throes of love, Zheng Wan suddenly felt a chill on her back for no apparent reason.

Glancing around strangely, she seemed to spot a vaguely familiar silhouette in the crowd.

But in the blink of an eye, it disappeared among the people...

"What’s wrong?"

"Oh, nothing, I might just be seeing things..."

...

The next day, in Yangcheng City at Hua Wei headquarters.

In a certain procurement department.

"Manager, here are the settlement statements provided by the supplier for this month, the price list for next month, and a report on the parameters of a new product. They require your review."

"Alright, hand them to me."

The thirty-something manager took the documents and, after a quick glance, voiced a surprised "huh."

"What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the data?"

"No, it’s just that I’m a bit surprised. I thought this new supplier was a small entrepreneurial company that might be somewhat unprofessional, but their data and reports are quite polished.

Wow, this chart is... neatly done! The various data are clear at a glance, and the table design is even aesthetically pleasing, obviously well-crafted.

Heh! This company is rather impressive, at least in making PPTs, they have talent, and you can tell, they put effort into it!"

"Oh! You mean this?" the young employee laughed.

"Take a look at the watermark in the lower right corner of the report."

"A watermark?"

The manager looked puzzled at the right bottom corner of the report and indeed saw a line of small text...

"Tianshu production... what does that mean?"

"Oh, it’s said to be a cloud-based ERP software that’s becoming popular in the entrepreneurial circle. Whether for analysis reports or sorting through sales data, it’s incredibly convenient, almost one-click generation.

I don’t know which boss got the idea at the last supply chain conference, but several of our contracted small companies seem to have adopted this product recently.

It’s said that users can link with each other seamlessly, it’s not only cost-effective but also very functional.

You wouldn’t believe it, before we had all sorts of messy data that made your head spin, and the formatting was inconsistent.

Now, look at this, after standardization, it’s made things much easier for our department’s staff."

"Really? That’s good, we might suggest this to the higher-ups, explore how to integrate these advantages into our supply chain interactions."

The manager rubbed his chin.

Hua Wei folks are always so proactive.

Setting this matter aside for the moment, he quickly completed the review, signed the documents, and then said.

"By the way, we’ll have a brief department meeting during lunch, regarding the procurement plan for next month, which needs adjusting.

Upper management is asking us to prioritize domestic suppliers.

Our procurement orders should not only favor these original domestic suppliers, but each team must also send people out next month to scout new supply chains."

"Ah? Why’s that?"

"Just look at the sorry state of the neighbors at Xingzhong... Sigh! Anyway, the international situation remains unclear, and the higher-ups have instructed us to be prepared for any contingencies.

So, our procurement department has a particularly heavy task ahead!"
