Although Ji Keci wasn't fully aware of the importance of this weapon, remembering her father's advice, she nodded...

"Okay, I agree to your terms. As for the shares for external sales, I'll have someone tally them up for you in a few days. However, I still hope you can get the research certification from the Huaxia military or the Ministry of Public Security sooner rather than later. I don't want the Ji Family to get into trouble with Huaxia while collaborating with you." Ji Keci cast a serious glance at Ye Hao.

Ye Hao understood what she meant. She was worried that without military certification, their involvement in researching prohibited items might attract unwanted attention from the military. The precision machine tools were imported into Huaxia by the Ji Family, and they had tried multiple times to collaborate with various military districts in Huaxia to establish a military factory.

Unfortunately, military factories were all contracted out to state-owned enterprises. The military leaders didn't want the black market flooded with weapons, causing chaos and havoc in the streets, which would become uncontrollable.

Huaxia has managed to stabilize its society with great effort and naturally doesn't want private companies' weapons flowing into the black market, setting back the country's progress by decades.

"That's only natural. If I wasn't confident in obtaining the research certification from Huaxia's military, I wouldn't bother investing so much money and effort." Ye Hao nodded and smiled.

"Then here's to a pleasant collaboration." Ji Keci stood up and extended her hand...

Ye Hao casually reached out his hand. When Ji Keci saw the grease on his hand, she awkwardly retracted her hand and glared at Ye Hao.

Ye Hao laughed heartily and withdrew his hand.

Ji Keci then discussed with Ye Hao when to start the races, insisting that he must be on time, and then she left.

Ye Hao's ambition grew as he exchanged ideas with Qiao Zongheng and others today. He secretly vowed to obtain the research certification quickly and start the research promptly.

The afternoon classes passed by quickly. Ye Hao took the two beauties home, cooked, and prepared meals for them before locking the door and leaving.

He hadn't forgotten that the class teacher invited him for dinner. If he didn't go today, who knows how Xia Zhu would tease him tomorrow.

"Yuyu, did you notice? Ye has been smiling all day. Did you give him a raise?" Su Qing asked, puzzled, while eating and watching Ye Hao's departing figure.

"Does he need us to give him a raise? My dad said he sold treasures he found underwater for billions! Even after splitting it with his brothers, he still has billions left. Plus, the most important thing is that bed we lie on every day." Lin Ruyu said happily, feeling that Ye Hao really treats her well.

Such a valuable and comfortable thermal bed was theirs to lie on every day. They woke up every morning feeling refreshed, an experience they never had before, rejuvenating their bodies every morning.

Su Qing nodded in agreement and said, "Uncle said that bed is priceless. Ye has never asked us for anything, sleeping on his hard bed every day. Yuyu, how about we buy a Sleep Dream mattress for Ye tomorrow?"

Lin Ruyu pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. She didn't know why, but seeing Ye Hao sleep uncomfortably made her want him to be more comfortable.

Ye Hao had no idea the sisters were planning to take care of him. At that moment, he was on his way to Xia Zhu's house, feeling nervous. Although he jokingly called himself Xia Zhu's boyfriend, thinking about actually meeting the mother-in-law today made him uneasy.

"What should I bring over? Going empty-handed? That's not right..." Ye Hao felt like a duck being pushed to the water, standing below Xia Zhu's apartment, pondering hard.

"Should I buy some supplements... no, that's for elders in the family."

"Buy some jewelry... no, that's not for Xia Zhu, it's her mom inviting me for dinner..."

Ultimately, Ye Hao couldn't decide what to bring and went up empty-handed.

Upon Ye Hao's arrival, Mrs. Xia was eagerly awaiting. She opened the door swiftly when Ye Hao rang the bell, and the table was already set with the dishes she had been preparing all afternoon.

Ye Hao greeted, "Good evening, Auntie..."

"Oh, you child, why call me Auntie? So distant? Just call me Mom." Mrs. Xia felt no apprehension about rushing her daughter into marriage. In her mind, Ye Hao is undoubtedly a good man, and though she was unsure of the relationship between him and her daughter, she was certain this son-in-law favored her daughter.

Ye Hao smiled awkwardly, unsure how to respond...

At this moment, Xia Zhu walked out wearing a thin nightdress, her hair still damp, a sight that nearly made Ye Hao's nose bleed.

Seeing Ye Hao standing at the door staring at her, Xia Zhu screamed and quickly ran back to her room.

"This girl, your boyfriend is just looking at you, nothing to be shy about. Come, come, son-in-law, have a seat." Mrs. Xia warmly took Ye Hao's hand, gently tugging him inside.

It's imaginable how happy she is to be able to continue living, and the person who enables her to continue living is her son-in-law. Being able to see her most beloved daughter find a boyfriend in her lifetime makes Mrs. Xia completely at ease.

After a long time, Xia Zhu came out in her usual casual outfit. Although her hair was messy and wet, hanging on her back, it did not affect her appearance at all.

When Mrs. Xia went into the kitchen, Ye Hao snuck over and asked, "Teacher Xia, what's going on here? Isn't this embarrassing?"

"Sigh, my mom's just like this. She used to worry I'd be taken advantage of or that I'd meet some bad guys. Now that she sees you...you get the idea, and also! My mom went through so much effort to host you today, and soon my big brother and the others are coming."

"Damn! Are we turning fake into real? I'm not in!" Ye Hao protested as he looked at Xia Zhu.

This made Xia Zhu grit her teeth angrily and shout in her heart, you little jerk, don't be ungrateful. No matter what, I'm a great beauty. Even if we're not doing this, it should be my call.

"Hmph! Am I so ugly that I'm not good enough for you?" Xia Zhu glared at Ye Hao.

"Not at all, Teacher Xia, you're as beautiful as a flower and city-toppling. How could I have any unrealistic thoughts? Besides, I'm still a virgin, such a pure national seedling. You want to harm me..." Ye Hao said while covering his chest with his hand.

He looked just like a young wife about to be ravaged by a strong, rough man.

"Get lost, haha!" Xia Zhu was amused by Ye Hao's antics, and his compliments made her feel sweet inside.

"Yo, what are you two lovebirds doing? Whispering to each other. Zhu Girl, call your big brother and the others back for dinner, tell them to hurry, or tell them not to come at all." After saying this, Mrs. Xia went back to the kitchen to continue working on her delicious soup.

Half an hour later, Xia Zhu's family was packed full in the dozens of square meters house.

Xia Zhu's big brother Xia Dong and his three wives and kids came over, as did her second sister, although her second sister Late Xia compared to Xia Zhu looked like a swan while she looked like an ugly duckling...

After fiddling around for about ten more minutes, Mrs. Xia came out wearing a housewife outfit, carrying a pot of delicious soup.

Ye Hao wasn't familiar with them and had beaten them up before, so naturally, there was nothing much to talk about.

Seeing her children all back, Mrs. Xia smiled and said, "It's been a long time since our family gathered together. A year ago, I fell ill and only recently recovered. Time flies! The reason I called you back today is to tell you something."

Mrs. Xia's words made Xia Dong and others nervous. In a big city like Peng City, a place like Mrs. Xia's, of at least dozens of square meters, could sell for more than 300,000 yuan. They were naturally worried about not being included when dividing the inheritance.

"Mom, what do you want to say?" Xia Dong asked with a forced smile, trying to hide his nervousness.

"Hehe, it's about your sister. Xia Liu, where are you looking? I'm talking about your sister Zhu." Mrs. Xia rolled her eyes at her youngest son Xia Liu, whose eyes were darting around.

"Oh, oh." Xia Liu nodded awkwardly, startled by his mother's words, thinking he had another sister.

"You all got married and have your families. When I had an accident, you all had excuses, saying you didn't have money, had to raise kids. Sigh, I don't blame you; every family has its own troubles, and that's understandable." Mrs. Xia said calmly, revealing how much she changed after escaping death.

"But when Zhu Girl went out teaching, I fell ill and was bedridden. Over the past year, it's been Zhu Girl taking care of me. I once thought I was going to die, but I was very unwilling. My poor child! I let you suffer with my illnesses." At this, Mrs. Xia looked at Xia Zhu with gratitude.

Xia Zhu's eyes turned red, as if all the grievances of the past year had vanished.

"At the moment of hovering between life and death, it was Zhu Girl's boyfriend who saved me. Compared to the past, my body has become better, and I'm very grateful to him..." Mrs. Xia said as she deeply bowed towards Ye Hao.

Ye Hao hurriedly waved his hand, saying it was the least he could do...

"Ye Hao, I've heard Zhu Girl talk about you, saying you have a stable job, and your living conditions are okay. That puts me at ease. I don't expect my daughter to marry into wealth and luxury, but at least the family should be decent, so my daughter doesn't suffer grievances. That's enough. Today I called you all here to say..."

"Mom, what are you doing?" Xia Zhu's face turned extremely red, remembering the lie she told her mother, saying Ye Hao was a supervisor at a big company and how great his conditions were. It was just something to fool her mom, but she didn't expect her mom to say it now.

When her mom said it like this, it sounded to Ye Hao like she was eager to marry him, which made her very embarrassed. After all, Ye Hao was her student!

"Don't interrupt, today the son-in-law is visiting, listen to me finish." Mrs. Xia glared at Xia Zhu, huffing. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
