Chapter 3134: Chapter 3126: Mission Accomplished
"How is progress at your Research Institute now?"
Liang Xianghe took a sip of wine and asked.
"Many things are ready-made, and the product will be launched soon." Lin Yi thought for a while and said:
"When Team One goes back to the island, it should be ready for use. I’ll evaluate the effects afterwards and then roll out the product."
"I’ve already looked at the evaluation reports for Team One. Apart from the four team leaders, they rank in the top ten among all members. Especially Sui Qiang and Yu Siying, apart from the four leaders, no one can match them."
"Of course, they are my protégés." Lin Yi laughed heartily.
"Impressive indeed. Your methods in this area are quite surprising to me." Liang Xianghe praised:
"You all can now carry out more advancement tasks."
Liang Xianghe’s expression changed slightly, "If they continue to grow smoothly, they can take over the Flame Dragon in the future, with two teams executing tasks together."
"But there are only seven people in Team One."
"Don’t you plan to add more people?"
"I have no such plans."
Rarely, Lin Jiang lit a cigarette, "I’m not particularly interested in things like Merit Team Leader or Merit Group, it’s just about doing one’s duty day by day."
"So this is just for the current batch."
"I only have a few decades to live, I’m not an immortal who lives for a hundred years. Even if I wanted to keep contributing, it’s impossible."
"You all have the same nature." Liang Xianghe laughed and took another sip of wine, "You’re in charge of the advancements, but there’s no need to wander around the outskirts."
"Hmm."
Lin Yi nodded, "If they want to stay in the Central Guards Brigade later on, that’s their business. When I’m too old or injured to continue, you shouldn’t come looking for me."
"Rest assured, I might be nothing but ashes by then."
"Haha, I’ll definitely bring my wife and kids to burn more paper for you."
"Nothing good ever comes out of your mouth."
Despite the limited time, Lin Yi didn’t give it much thought with Liang Xianghe; he just wanted to spend time with him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed for another meal after dinner.
The two of them chatted for a full three hours. Seeing that Liang Xianghe was getting tired, Lin Yi found an excuse and left first.
After leaving, Lin Yi went to find Mi Li, who had left early, not wanting to waste the rare date opportunity.
Their date wasn’t particularly special.
Just strolling around and watching movies, like ordinary couples, even mundane.
For the two of them, as long as the other was around, anything was fine.
"I usually feel quite young, but seeing those college students, I suddenly feel old."
"If you don’t mention it, no one would know you’re a mom."
"Don’t bring up the kids. My mom’s still asking me to have more." Mi Li said:
"She says having more is insurance."
"My mother-in-law’s suggestion is very sensible." Lin Yi said:
"Let’s do this now."
Mi Li didn’t have any objections. Her future was pretty much set, with Lin Yi around, it wouldn’t be bad.
But taking it to the next level would be harder than ascending the heavens.
So even having a few more kids, taking up more time, wouldn’t be a big deal.
They got back in the car and drove away from the cinema.
But as they drove, Mi Li realized something was off.
"This doesn’t seem like the way home."
"Going home wouldn’t be good, a hotel is better."
"You really know how to pick a place."
Soon, they arrived at a hotel and booked a presidential suite.
A sleepless night was destined.

...
After a full night of revelry, they slept until after ten, and by the time they finished lunch, it was almost noon.
"Is there anything else to do here, or are we leaving soon?"
"I need to call my mother-in-law. We didn’t meet even though I’m here, so I have to make a call to explain."
"There’s no need to bother my mom; we already have children, so it’s not like you’re a new son-in-law visiting."
"Still, I should make a greeting call." Lin Yi said:
"Otherwise, when she reprimands me, she’ll have a new reason lined up."
Mi Li smiled; the only person who could handle Lin Yi was his mother.
Afterwards, Lin Yi called Shen Shuyi, and they chatted about work for a while before hanging up.
In addition, Lin Yi also called Liang Cunxiao and Liang Xianghe.
In terms of etiquette, Lin Yi was very thorough.
After having lunch with Mi Li, Lin Yi prepared to part ways, each going about their own business.
But Mi Li wanted to see Lin Yi off. This way, they could spend a bit more time together, and he wouldn’t need to catch a cab.
Besides, while passing by a convenience store, Mi Li bought Lin Yi a lot of coffee and snacks for him to eat on the road.
Just like a wife sending her husband off on a journey, she occasionally nagged him to pay attention to safety.
After driving for about an hour, Mi Li dropped Lin Yi off at a transfer station.
It was Mi Li’s first time at a place like this.
"What’s up with your car, parked here for 28 hours; how will you explain this?" a male dispatcher came up and asked.
"Isn’t it okay to return the car within 60 hours?"
"Typically, it takes at least 40 hours to drive from Ice City to Zhong Hai. With a 28-hour delay, you’re sure to be overtime."
"I drove from Zhong Hai to Ice City in just 22 hours, and going back should be about the same. Even with the 28-hour delay, it would only be about 50 hours, which should be enough."
"Huh? Over 2,000 kilometers, and you drove it in 22 hours?"
"Yes."
"Impressive, man!" The male dispatcher admired:
"But you’d better hit the road quickly. Any moment now, a supervisor could come by, and then you’ll have to help with inspections, which could delay your time."
"Thanks, man."
Since it was just parked here and not a transfer, there were no extra procedures.
Once in the car, Mi Li handed over the snacks she bought to Lin Yi.
"You bought so much; it may not be possible to eat it all by the time I get to Zhong Hai." Lin Yi laughed.
"Save some for the kids if there’s any left; don’t eat it all by yourself."
Mi Li was referring to none other than Lin Nuo.
Compared to others, she preferred girls and often looked at pictures of Lin Nuo.
Mi Li acted quite responsibly as a stepmother.
After repeatedly reminding him several times, she finally watched Lin Yi leave.
On the way back, everything went smoothly, and Lin Yi wasn’t lonely; he chatted with several women while driving.
Before he knew it, 12 hours had passed, and he arrived in the Zhonghai District around 2 a.m.
While unloading, Lin Yi handed the receipt to the dispatch office.
Simultaneously, the system notification sounded in his mind.
