Hearing Zhou Hanyun's self-introduction, Xu Jie's eyes flickered for a moment, then he smiled and looked at the other pair of young men and women and said:

"How should I address the two of you?"

"My name is Cheng Baoguo, and this is my sister Cheng Xueyan. We are both serving in the military now."

The young man said succinctly.

"I see! You both have truly inherited the elegance of the older generation!"

Xu Jie complimented with a smile.

After speaking, he turned his head and started chatting with Zhang Yu.

"That guy is really interesting!"

Yang Yan glanced at Xu Jie and exclaimed meaningfully.

"What's so interesting?"

Zhou Hanyun asked puzzled.

"That guy, he had the most intriguing expressions when he was listening to others introduce themselves. Tsk tsk! His inner thoughts must be quite colorful!"

Yang Yan said with a smile.

Just as Zhou Hanyun was about to say something, a man named Yang Yong beside Yang Yan nudged him lightly and whispered:

"Hey, brother, how do you pour this tea? Don't laugh at me, it's my first time in a setting like this, and I'm a bit nervous. When I'm nervous, I feel like drinking water, but no matter how I try, I can't pour any water out."

Hearing Yang Yong's words, Yang Yan smiled kindly, then picked up the teapot and poured him more than half a cup:

"Just press here, otherwise, there's something inside holding it back, and water won't come out."

Yang Yan remembered that this man named Yang Yong had just introduced himself as a farmer, working in the fields at home.

"Thank you, brother." Yang Yong said awkwardly, "I really didn't want to come today, but the old man insisted, and I couldn't refuse, so here I am."

"You know, the old man in my family is over ninety, yet he still wants to venture out. What's he after? At home, he has trouble even walking."

"But recently, when he heard he could see his old comrades, he could actually stand and walk on his own. What's with people, really?"

Once he said this, a bespectacled woman nearby also chimed in:

"Yes, mine too. Normally, he can't speak loudly; if he does, he just coughs. But when we were about to leave, I saw him not cough at all over there."

Yang Yan remembered her from earlier when they entered, she was the one standing behind the elderly man in a wheelchair.

"Maybe they're just excited to see old comrades again!"

Zhou Hanyun said with a smile.

"Yeah! As long as it makes him happy, I don't mind doing anything."

Yang Yong, who was previously full of complaints, smiled honestly.

The group didn't deliberately lower their voices, so their conversation was naturally heard by everyone present.

Especially Xu Jie, who showed obvious disdain on his face.

"Zhang, if you ever need anything in Guang Province, just come to me. No promises about elsewhere, but in Guang Province, your brother's word still carries some weight."

Xu Jie patted his chest, speaking heartily.

He even deliberately raised his voice, seemingly wanting to attract others' attention.

"Alright! I often go on business trips to Guang Province, so next time I'm there, I'll definitely look for Xu."

Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"So, Sun, you're a high school teacher at Seventeenth Middle School, right? I was wondering what kind of paperwork is needed for enrollment there?"

Zhou Hanyun asked the bespectacled woman.

During the introductions earlier, she said she was a teacher at Seventeenth Middle School.

Seventeenth Middle School happens to be right next to the courtyard.

The New Year is coming soon, and after it's over, Dawn should start school.

Since I ran into a teacher from Seventeenth Middle School, it's best to ask what paperwork is needed and how it could be arranged without having to seek out people myself.

"Studying in the Imperial Capital isn't easy. Especially since Seventeenth Middle School is one of the top-ranked schools, it's even harder. To get into Seventeenth Middle School, you have to buy a house nearby!"

Sun Jing said with a smile.

"I see! If you buy a house, what other paperwork would be needed then?"

Zhou Hanyun asked again.

"Sweetie, school district houses here in the Imperial Capital aren't cheap you know!"

I don't know when Xu Jie had already come over, speaking sincerely.

"Sun, if you buy a house here, do you have to relocate your household registration?"

Zhou Hanyun glanced at Xu Jie, gave a polite smile, and then turned her head to ask Sun Jing.

Xu Jie felt a little annoyed as Zhou Hanyun ignored him.

He evaluated earlier, and no one here seemed to be doing better than him; he believed he should be the core of this group.

Now, being so disregarded by a great beauty like Zhou Hanyun deeply hurt his pride.

"I'm not too sure about this either. Let me ask around for you when I go back!"

After saying this, an eager Sun Jing gave Zhou Hanyun her phone number.

"So, Hanyun, what kind of business are you doing over in East Sea City? I'm in trade, maybe we could have some business exchanges."

Xu Jie looked at Zhou Hanyun, full of expectation, and asked.

As for Yang Yan on the side, he utterly ignored him.

"I only procure goods domestically, no need to trouble you, Xu."

Zhou Hanyun obviously understood what Xu Jie was up to. Although she was somewhat annoyed inside, she maintained her politeness on the surface.

"Just domestic procurement? All the more reason to come to me, Xu. In any field within the country, your brother Xu here still has some connections."

Xu Jie said with gusto.

"Really? Xu, we have lots of agricultural products over there. Could you help us find a place to sell them?"

Yang Yong interrupted hopefully while looking at Xu Jie.

"Agricultural products? Ha ha!"

Xu Jie sneered, then poured himself a cup of tea and drank.

"Xu, can you do it?"

Yang Yong asked Xu Jie again.

"Brother, it's not that I'm saying this, but those things just don't make money!"

Xu Jie lightly shook his head, speaking leisurely.

"Xu, we don't expect to make big money, just enough to earn some is fine. After all, those were grown with everyone's hard work for a whole year. It'd be a shame if they went to waste."

Yang Yong quickly said.

"Brother, genuinely it's not that this elder brother doesn't want to help you, but even your brother Xu needs to eat!"

"Those agricultural products are not easy to preserve. If we bring them out and then can't sell them, it would be a huge loss for your brother Xu!"

"Besides, your brother Xu is in trade, mainly targeting overseas markets. As for agricultural products, Xu isn't familiar with that! So, brother, I'm really unable to help!"

Xu Jie looked at Yang Yong, appearing helpless.

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry, Xu, I didn't know."

Yang Yong apologized sincerely and then personally poured Xu Jie a cup of water.

Seeing Yang Yong's timid demeanor, Xu Jie laughed scornfully.

He always looked down on such country bumpkins.

Under usual circumstances, he wouldn't even bother talking to him.
