Of course, Qin Fang's group now had to include him, although the three of them didn't really have many opportunities to be together since everyone was busy with their own affairs.

Tang Cheng was an active-duty military officer and instructor for a special forces unit, occasionally tasked with some highly confidential missions. His responsibilities extended across the East Sea, including certain islands...

Ning Weiqiang was just killing time at school, even more so than Qin Fang. With his family's backing, he was guaranteed a spot for postgraduate study without even frequently attending exams...

As for Qin Fang, it went without saying. He had been caught up in all sorts of messes for nearly half a year, and he even felt he had been quite decadent; he only attended the classes he liked and skipped the ones he didn't or couldn't make time for.

When it came to planning, Qin Fang really had nothing to organize. His current business holdings weren't extensive. Fang Feixue was publicly known, and as long as he was still there, Fang Feixue would not fall and its business would only get better.

The laboratory managed by Lin Hai also didn't require much attention from Qin Fang. With the foundation of the first two technological developments, the researchers at this lab had become quite adept. They were also very enthusiastic about their work, which involved various aspects of research that occasionally brought them brilliant insights.

In just half a year, more than eight researchers had published high-caliber papers in international journals.

Such papers also brought significant influence. Many professional institutions and research institutions extended invitations to these researchers, including some from abroad offering high salaries...

However, for the time being, no one had decided to leave. As their research went deeper, they felt they were touching the frontier of an unprecedented technological field, with some technologies potentially overturning current scientific theories—almost an innovation of technology. If they left hastily, they might miss out on this opportunity—an opportunity to become world-class top talent.

No one was foolish, especially not these tech-devoted researchers. They were all high-end, exceptionally intelligent individuals; they would have to be out of their minds to leave such a project.

The current high salary was indeed very tempting, but once their research succeeded, they could become top experts in this field. By then, would they still worry about not having a high salary?

Moreover, the salary offered by Qin Fang had already made them very satisfied.

Of course, the second set of lithium battery technologies had already matured. They were developing the third set, a technology that would completely overturn all existing theories, akin to a technical revolution.

According to Qin Fang's own understanding, if this technology succeeded, it would be an immense blow to the energy market...

Of course, it was a long-term research project, and Qin Fang didn't expect it to succeed in the short term.

Therefore, he began to prepare for selling the second set of lithium battery technology... He guessed the Japanese must be starting the production of the first set of new lithium batteries by now; it was time to make a move on them.

As for potential buyers, Qin Fang had already decided on the target quite quickly, it seemed as though someone was already quite eager.

There was also considerable progress on Chu Yunxuan's side. With Helen Dayangma's help, the laboratory now had almost all the necessary equipment in place, except for some that were not allowed to be exported to Dragon Country.

This laboratory, like the one managed by Lin Hai, was located on the university campus, only this time it was Pharmaceutical University instead of Polytechnic University.

There were ready-made experts and professors in pharmaceutics, with Chu Yunxuan personally overseeing the work, selecting the most efficient research team, and using some of the world's most advanced pharmacological analysis equipment. The research on deciphering the Heart Nourishing Pill was ready to start anytime before Qin Fang's arrival in Capital City.

Of course, before heading to Capital City, Qin Fang naturally couldn't resist a tender moment with Chu Yunxuan.

Now, with Xiao Muxue, Tang Feifei, and Wen Yan together, the three girls formed a united front, almost always moving in and out as one, which made it impossible for Qin Fang to have a secret affair. At most, he could only engage in some rather intimate actions but dared not to cross the line too much. In the end, he could only come to Yunxuan for affection.

"Qin, can't you give me a chance? Even just for one night..."

Going to see Yunxuan inevitably meant encountering Helen Dayangma.

Yang Rui, the unlucky guy who tried to woo Ning Yumo, wasn't looking so smug anymore. Originally the head of the Dragon Country district, his position was usurped by Helen after she met Qin Fang and inexplicably became infatuated with him. She was supposed to stay with Chu Yunxuan for a while and then go back to the United States, but she had changed her tourist visa to a work visa and decided to stay. Thus, the head of the Dragon Country district had changed to her... and Yang Rui was relegated to the background.

Helen seemed to harbor some dislike toward Yang Rui, possibly a result of that discordant night. If it weren't for Yang Rui's competence, she would have fired him long ago.

Of course, Qin Fang didn't know about these issues; nor did he care...

But Helen's decision to stay really did give him a headache. Heaven knows when he might carelessly end up sleeping with this foreigner, even though she was a stunning mixed-race beauty. Qin Fang certainly did not want to one day find himself wearing a green hat out of the blue...

Things were normal on Yunxuan's end. After Qin Fang returned, he briefed Chu Yunxuan on the incredible effects of the Heart Nourishing Pill, which greatly boosted her confidence. Once the medicinal properties of the Heart Nourishing Pill were successfully analyzed, and other ingredients could be used for substitute production, it would be a tremendous success for humanity...

Countless patients would benefit from it; it was indeed a great deed. Of course, Qin Fang could also use the opportunity to make a fortune...

Qin Fang had just these few matters to settle in Ninghai. During the day he was there, he arranged everything simply and, once sure that all was in order, he went to the airport with Tang Feifei to prepare for their trip to Capital City.

"You guys just stay put in Ninghai. We'll be back in a few days..."

This time, it was a visit to the Tang Family for a birthday celebration, which meant that only Qin Fang and Tang Feifei would be going. Xiao Muxue and Wen Yan, of course, couldn't come along and had to stay behind in Ninghai.

With Song Gang dead, only the extremely dangerous Cao Chun remained, but Li Rui had hidden Cao Chun too well, and his whereabouts were still a mystery.

The women by his side were Qin Fang's greatest vulnerability. A madman like Cao Chun couldn't be judged by normal standards—no one knew what crazy things he might do. Therefore, in going to Capital City, Qin Fang, besides taking Shen Liang with him, left all his other men, including Chen Da, behind just in case.

"Mm-hmm, we'll definitely wait patiently for you to come back..."

Xiao Muxue and Wen Yan were both very sensible girls. Especially after accompanying Qin Fang back home and gaining the approval of Qin's mother, Qin Qing, they were even more compliant with Qin Fang. If it weren't for considering Tang Feifei's feelings, those two would probably have long ago slipped into Qin Fang's bed to seek joy...

And so, Qin Fang and Tang Feifei embarked on the plane to Capital City, preparing to celebrate Elder Tang's birthday. Of course, Qin Fang was also aware that this trip would mean facing the onslaught of Tang Feifei's many suitors...

After all, Tang Feifei had always been the little princess of the Tang Family, treasured by many as an angelic presence and brought up in a prestigious courtyard. But now, she would end up benefiting Qin Fang, this young fellow. Who wouldn't feel a bit aggrieved? (To be continued.
