Jiang Xueting took the materials brought out from the archives and went to Nanhuaiming Newspaper to meet with the editor-in-chief Shang Hongwen.The clues on the paper pointed to an old incident: the Yu family recruited people to mine in the name of conscription, and added the victims of the mining accident to the death list.Jiang Xueting wanted to seek justice for the miners, but Shang Hongwen believed that these data alone were not enough to draw a conclusion.Jiang Xueting agreed to stay in the military to collect evidence, and Shang Hongwen promised to introduce him to a better future after the incident was completed.

Yu Changxuan was not surprised when the veteran generals in the army did not agree to allocate funds to build an arsenal. He was already preparing to find other funds.Kuang Bingwen played chess with Yu Zhongquan and persuaded him to help his son, but Yu Zhongquan did not agree.Since his son wanted to do things independently, he would stay out of it for the time being and wait and see how he would handle it.

Yu Changxuan planned to use Tao Ziyi's relationship to obtain a bank loan, so he accompanied her to a clothing store.When she went in to try on clothes, he saw Jiang Xueting and Ye Pingjun walking into the bookstore opposite through the window.Ye Pingjun was going to buy books for the children. Jiang Xueting went out to buy food for her first. Yu Changxuan took advantage of this opportunity and walked over, deliberately grabbing the books she liked.

During the scramble, Ye Pingjun stumbled and jumped on him. He hugged him and refused to let go.Tao Ziyi changed her clothes and went out to look for someone. When she met Jiang Xueting who was returning from shopping, she learned that the two of them might be in the bookstore and rushed there immediately, but Ye Pingjun was the only one left squatting and picking up books.After going out, she met Yu Changxuan who pretended to have just returned from somewhere else.He greeted Ye and Jiang naturally and praised Jiang Xueting for his excellent work, as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Xueting bought osmanthus cake and sent Ye Pingjun home. He wanted to kiss her before saying goodbye, but the neighbor suddenly opened the door and poured water on him, which happened to hit him.He had no choice but to say goodbye awkwardly, and Ye Pingjun looked at him and laughed.

At the dinner, Tao Ziyi lobbied bankers on behalf of Yu Changxuan, hoping that they would invest in the arsenal.Jiang Xueting brought Ye Pingjun to the scene, which immediately attracted Yu Changxuan's attention, and Tao Ziyi also noticed something strange.Jiang Xueting introduced his colleague to his fiancée, and apologized that he should not have brought her to such a social occasion.She let him work in peace, and she didn't mind.

Jiang Xueting introduced the factory construction plan to foreign guests in German for Yu Changxuan, and also listened attentively to the guests' discussions about the current situation.Yang Shiying made a special trip to support him, and used his status as Chief of Staff of Marshal Xu to increase the weight of raising funds for Yu Changxuan.He recognized Ye Pingjun at a glance. She did not want to disclose the secret meeting by the river, so she could only pretend not to know her.Yu Changxuan came over with Tao Ziyi on his arm and introduced her as Jiang Xueting's girlfriend. Only then did Yang Shiying know that both of them had partners.

When chatting privately, Yang Shiying said that he admired Ye Pingjun since he last met her. Since she was not Yu Changxuan's sweetheart, she wanted to win over her.Yu Changxuan had no objection.When they arrived at the card table, Tao Ziyi deliberately talked about pursuing her sweetheart, saying that if you find someone you like, you should hurry up. She also regarded dancing as a bet, hoping to see how Ye Pingjun would respond.

Ye Pingjun agreed generously, holding Jiang Xueting's arm and saying that their relationship was stable.Yang Shiying hinted that he was lacking Dongfeng, and Jiang Xueting happened to have this card in his hand, so he hesitated to play it.Ye Pingjun advised him not to worry. Even if he lost, it would only be a dance with others and would not change his mind.After the cards were played, Yang Shiying had no wild cards, and Jiang Xueting won in the end.He also saw that Yu Changxuan was letting things go, and he understood that this affection was just wishful thinking on the part of Yu Changxuan.

Later, someone spilled wine on Ye Pingjun.She went to change clothes, and the drunk Yu Changxuan suddenly pulled her into the dressing room, locked the door, and asked her why she didn't tell Jiang Xueting that the two had publicly pretended to be lovers.He cared that she deliberately concealed this relationship, but Ye Pingjun said that in his heart, he was nothing at all and there was no need to explain.

This sentence completely angered Yu Changxuan, and he warned her not to drive herself crazy.Jiang Xueting happened to knock on the door. Ye Pingjun wanted to speak out, but his mouth was covered.Yu Changxuan also threatened her with the situation at hand, saying that if her fiancé saw her, it would only cause misunderstandings.There was no response from outside the door. Just as Jiang Xueting was about to leave, there was another noise in the room and he stopped.
