Chapter 327: Chapter 327: The Leader’s Affairs

Although Qin Feng was neither of the same father nor mother as Qin Jingchen, their relationship was no different from that of real siblings.

In the past, Qin Jingchen had always been particularly attentive to her affairs; was he truly hands-off now?

Yet, by the looks of him, it did not seem like complete abandonment.

After getting out of the car, Qin Jingchen turned back around, "Make sure to have a variety of doctors on standby."

After seeing Qin Jingchen off, Fen Ye asked Qin Hai, "What do you think?"

"I don’t really have an opinion." Qin Hai never speculated needlessly about things he didn’t understand.

"It’s pointless to tell you then." It’d be better if Qin He were here, at least they could have a proper discussion.

After taking a bath, Qin Jingchen lay in bed and thought about the question Fen Ye had asked.

But the face that surfaced in his mind was that of Jiang Zhe, her fox-like eyes, and the extreme composure and calm in her expression.

Qin Feng was about to give birth soon, and he was, in fact, gambling on it.

This gamble, would it be a loss or a win?

Apart from Fen Ye, who was concerned about this, in reality, countless people were concerned about Qin Feng’s health.

Moreover, a lot of business dealings of both the Qin and Tang families hinged on this matter.

Many people hoping to find the Divine Doctor were also watching to see if Qin Jingchen could find one for Qin Feng, and if he did, whether they could follow suit and seek out the same doctor.

After all, it had been predicted that Qin Feng’s body would not be able to sustain her child; yet not only had she managed to keep the baby, but she’d also done so with stability.

If she were to give birth smoothly, who knows how many people would be eyeing her attending physician.

Madam Qin was also quite worried about this matter and had complained to Tiao Chun several times.

"Madam, you should focus on taking care of your own health first."

"At my age, living one more year or one year less doesn’t make much difference. But how old is Qin Feng? And the baby."

Madam Qin couldn’t help but feel anxious.

While she was worrying, Tiao Chun said, "The young madam has sent a message."

"Let me listen," Madam Qin immediately opened it.

Jiang Zhe had sent a voice message, just a few brief sentences.

It contained consoling words similar to what Tiao Chun had said, telling her not to worry about Qin Feng and to pay more attention to her own health.

Jiang Zhe’s voice was inexplicably steady and calm, with a cold tone that easily soothed others.

Though the content was similar to others’, the way she spoke made it seem quite different.

Madam Qin’s initially anxious and agitated state gradually stabilized.

Tiao Chun couldn’t help but feel delighted and poured her some tea, "The young madam is a little lucky star; wherever she is, everything is certain to be fine."

...

Xia Xingzhi had not expected Fu Qifang to meet with him personally.

After all, even his own mentor, Wang Shifu, rarely had the chance to meet Fu Qifang in person.

At the Aerospace Research Institute, the gathering place for elites from across the nation and the world, Fu Qifang was among its founding figures.

Exiting the office of Old Fu, his steps felt somewhat unreal and ethereal.

Looking up at the sky, the bright sunlight dazzled and stung his eyes yet appeared exceptionally gleaming.

Reflecting on his recent meeting with Old Fu, the elderly man hadn’t asked too much, going straight to the point and letting him discuss his research.

Having dedicated himself to his research under Wang Shifu’s tutelage for several years, Xia Xingzhi spoke smoothly about his field of expertise.

"Bring your information with you, starting tomorrow, you’re going to work on my side."

Fu Qifang had finally said just this simple sentence.

"Xingzhi, this way." Accompanying Xia Xingzhi was Fu’s assistant, who came with him to handle the pass.

"Okay." Xia Xingzhi handed over his photo, pressed down his fingerprint, and recorded his face for unlocking.

Soon, he had acquired his pass.

"All set, just come over directly tomorrow. Looking forward to working together," the assistant patted his shoulder.

Xia Xingzhi walked out of the building, stood in the sunshine, and after a long while, he finally broke into a rare, big laugh.

The Xia family’s living room.

Mrs. Xia was quite happy about Jiang Zhe’s matter and was talking with the elders.

"With Xiaozhe studying in Beijing, he will certainly have many opportunities to visit, and often with Enci, the home will become lively," Mrs. Xia said with a beaming smile.

Xia Enci smiled joyfully, "Then I’ll definitely come back often, as long as my aunt doesn’t find me annoying. Right, Xiaozhe?"

Jiang Zhe, sitting to the side, casually nodded, "Hmm."

"Think of this place as home, come back anytime," Mrs. Xia said.

With more young children around her lately, the elder Mrs. Xia was spirited and happy just listening to their conversation.

Mrs. Xia the second had already sent Li Ran and Li Qian home, as their presence always reminded her of unpleasant matters.

Hearing what Mrs. Xia had said, she had something to add, "Enci and Jiang Zhe really should come back more often to keep you and your aunt company, especially since it’s uncertain how long Xingzhi will be away."

These words made Mrs. Xia’s face subtly change.

Xia Xingzhi wanted to do research, and with little progress domestically, it was inevitable he would go abroad.

As for when he could return, that was really uncertain.

Mrs. Xia was reluctant to part with her son, but she also didn’t want to hold him back.

Mrs. Xia the second’s words weren’t meant to be comforting; they were a veiled stab.

Xia Enci immediately said, "Who knows? But what if cousin decides to stay? It’s not like he has no chance."

She had overheard the news of Xia Xingzhi landing a new opportunity.

She believed there was great hope.

"Right, Xiaozhe?" Xia Enci asked Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe replied, "Hmm, the research environment in China is quite good now, and there’s a real need for talent. It’s not a must to go abroad."

Mrs. Xia the second smiled broadly, "You’re right, there’s a shortage of talent in China, so only those who are truly skilled can stay."

After saying this, she slowly sipped her tea, then continued, "Just like Mingzhu, she’s been working on research with her advisor for quite a while now. She’s becoming more and more recognized. Perhaps in the future, she may even lead many students of her own. In the next few days, there’s even a project from the Aerospace Institute that she’s in charge of. Isn’t that right, Mingzhu?"

The project Xia Mingzhu had recently participated in, her advisor Professor Fang had indeed revealed, was considering her for the lead role.

To become the person in charge would certainly be a step up.

Without leadership talent and professional capabilities, she wouldn’t be able to take on the role.

Professor Fang had already told her that there was a very good chance for her, acknowledging her abilities.

She had only mentioned it briefly to her mother, who brought it up now, but Xia Mingzhu didn’t mind.

She smiled, "Mom, let’s talk less about work at home."

"I didn’t go into details. We’re just idly chatting, after all. Your grandmother’s health isn’t great, and we’re here to cheer her up; talking about the young ones progressing makes her happy," her mother responded.

The elder Mrs. Xia was aware of the issues between the first and second branches of the family and understood the younger generations’ struggles, adding, "Mingzhu is doing very well, and Grandma is happy for you. Still, those who lead must remain humble. And for those who start a little later, it’s alright; take it slow."
