It was very lively when the whole family got together .

“Wow! How beautiful!”
This was Du Mingyang’s first time meeting Su Xiaoxue . It was a shocking feeling . Of course, he had heard Wang Ru mention Su Xiaoxue’s identity, which made it even more amazing . This was especially so for someone like him, who worked in the government . Her status was very high, and she was extremely precious . She had become his brother-in-law’s future wife, which was unimaginable .
He wondered what abilities his brother-in-law had to be able to win the favor of this kind of descendant of a noble family . It also seemed that the girl was the one who had chased him .
“Shall we play cards?” After supper, Du Mingyang suggested playing poker .
“Sure . ”
Zhang Xiuying did not participate . The other five family members fought to protect the emperor .
During the first round, Su Xiaoxue was the emperor and Wang Yao was the protector . They won very smoothly . In the second round, Wang Yao was the emperor and Su Xiaoxue was the protector . They won again . In the third round, it was still the two of them .
“No way, you guys are bonded by heart,” Du Mingyang said in surprise .
“It’s a coincidence, just a coincidence,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
To be honest, he also thought it was too much of a coincidence .
“I don’t believe it . Let’s play again!”
“Hha, I am the emperor,” Du Mingyang said . “Who is the protector?”
“I am, I am,” Wang Ru happily said .
During this round, the couple was a group, but they lost .
“What is this situation? I lost four times in a row!” Du Mingyang subconsciously reached for his pocket to get a cigarette . He suddenly found that his neck was a little cold . He looked up and saw that Wang Ru was staring at him .

“It is just a habit . Hha . ” He scratched his head with a smile .
Ever since he found out that his wife was pregnant, he did not smoke a single cigarette at home . He chewed gum when he couldn’t bear it . At most, he would only smoke one or two when he was out with his buddies drinking . Even then, he had to stand outside and let the wind blow at him . He could only go home after he was sure he didn’t smell . He was worried the smell would bother Wang Ru . It could be said that he was a very responsible husband who loved his wife .
“Again,” Wang Ru said . She also felt that this evening’s game was a little suspicious .
“Alright, let’s go again . ” Wang Yao was quite nonchalant and did not care much . Xiaoxue, who was sitting beside him, was full of smiles . She was a little embarrassed . She had already won four games in a row . She didn’t know why her luck was so good . She was not usually very good at playing cards . This time, she got good cards every round . They were unbelievably good cards, and she was grouped with Wang Yao in each round . She felt very happy . She smoothly played her cards and won . It was that simple .
For this round, Su Xiaoxue was the emperor and Wang Yao was the protector . They won again, simply and quickly, without any obstacles .
“Oh my god!” Du Mingyang was speechless .
He wanted to win a round, but he was helpless and could not do anything about it . The top cards in the deck were the two aces . How could he win that? Even if his poker skills were good, he had to have at least a decent set of cards .
“Again!”
He had a certain gambler mentality now . He wanted to win a round after he lost . Of course, it was not so serious . The key was that he was too unyielding . He was always grouped with his wife and father-in-law, and he hadn’t won a single round . He felt that it was not quite right .
They continued to play cards . After two rounds in a row, he still did not win a single time . He was completely defeated .
He was unlucky even playing cards . Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue were on the same team all night . They won all of the rounds .
I can’t you stop being so bonded by your hearts and connected to each other! You’ve made me so passive!
“Alright, let’s end it here . It’s getting late and Xiao Ru needs to rest,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“Oh, yes . ” Du Mingyang immediately concurred .
Nothing was as important as his pregnant wife . Every night, she would soak her feet in warm water before going to bed at about 9 p . m . Du Mingyang would come back to accompany her before that time no matter how busy he was . Since Wang Ru had become pregnant, he had stopped drinking or eating out .

Lying in bed, Wang Ru was still wondering about the events of the evening . I am unlucky tonight . Xiao Yao and Xiaoxue were always together, and they never lost a single round!
“Maybe they are bonded by the heart?” Du Mingyang asked .
“Do you mean we are not bonded by the heart?” Wang Ru asked .
“No, we just weren’t always on a team together . Of course, we are bonded by the heart,” Du Mingyang hurriedly said .
“Why didn’t we win even once?”
“My cards were not good,” Du Mingyang said . “Yours were fine since you had a king every round . I got an ace a few rounds, but how could I win like that? It was equivalent to me holding a broadsword in my hand while you guys held AK47s . It would be strange if I won . ”
“Besides, didn’t you notice that as long as it was Xiaoxue playing, the old man would throw his away?”
“Huh? I didn’t pay attention to that,” Wang Ru said .
“Alright, don’t think so much . Go to sleep . Playing cards is just for fun . ”
“Can you be happy after losing all night?”
“Blame me . It’s all my fault . Let’s go to sleep . ”
The house was very quiet . The entire family slept peacefully .
The next morning, Zhang Xiuying got up very early . She had to prepare breakfast for the entire family . Wang Yao also got up very early . He went to help his mother . Su Xiaoxue got up almost at the same time . She also came to the kitchen to help .
“I don’t need your help, Xiaoxue . Why don’t you go back to sleep for a while?”
“There’s no need, Auntie . I am already awake . ”

The busy noises of jingly and banging began the day .
It was finally opening day for the Nanshan Pharmaceutical Company .
It was an auspicious day and time .
For the first time, Wang Yao wore a suit . He looked neat and tidy . Su Xiaoxue was beautifully dressed .
Zheng Weijun had prepared everything . His eyes brightened when he saw the two of them, especially Su Xiaoxue . What a beautiful woman! When he heard Wang Yao’s introduction, he almost instantly guessed the woman’s origins .
She was part of the Su family from Jing .
It happened that he knew something about Jing .
“Welcome, welcome . ”
“Thank you . ”
Wang Yao led Su Xiaoxue into the factory . He strolled around and saw the busy workers in overalls .
Outside, the main leaders of the county and city had arrived .
At a predetermined time, the ribbon cutting, opening ceremony, firecrackers, and dragon and lion dancing commenced . It was very lively .
Both the county and city had attached great importance to this enterprise . Haiqu was a four-tiered city . It was a newer city with a thin foundation and small area . There were no large enterprises or high-tech companies there . The only advantage was the seaport . Yet, positive business indicators each year were poor . The city was the lowest in the province .
The governor hoped that the city he was managing could make some progress and have something to show off . This was the first pharmaceutical company in Haiqu . It sounded inconceivable that there was no pharmaceutical company in a city that size . For Nanshan Pharmaceutical Company, both the county and the city had made it clear that they would offer preferential policies .
The ceremony was grand . Everyone was happy .
However, Wang Yao was not quite happy . He had found a medicine in the warehouse that did not meet the requirements .
Licorice was a common Chinese herbal medicine and had a range of uses . It could regulate Qi, detoxify, and clear blood vessels . In the Primordial Spirit Soup, its main function was to harmonize various medicines . It replaced the magic herb . Although the effect was a little worse, it was necessary .
This licorice had problems in terms of both shape and smell . It was not wild . It had been planted, and it contained some harmful ingredients . It was likely fertilizer hormones or other things used in the process of cultivation to increase production .
Upon realizing that Wang Yao’s expression was not right, Su Xiaoxue asked, “What’s the matter, Sir?”
“There’s something wrong with the medicine . ” Wang Yao pointed to the licorice .
“Is it fake?”
“It is not fake, but it’s not wild . It’s not top-grade produce,” Wang Yao said .
“The scent is mixed, and the color is wrong . Take a look . ” Wang Yao pointed out all the wrong things with the licorice .
“This licorice was planted,” Wang Yao said . “It is inferior produce that does not meet the requirements of the medicine . It will affect the efficacy of the medicine after use . ”
He had to talk to Zheng Weijun about this matter . He had specifically told him before that there should be no carelessness in the medicinal materials . They had to follow his requirements . There should be no pollution in the wild medicinal materials . Planting was fine . Some medicinal materials were planted in the deep mountains and old forests, but they were not dug out until the age limit . That was to restore the growth environment to the greatest extent . The efficacy was a little worse than that of the wild ones, but these were absolutely not good .
