Ji Xingmi finished muttering and fell asleep! No one noticed a meteor streaking across the sky! Some who hadn't yet slept saw the meteor and silently made a wish before continuing on their way.
For the past few days, Ji Xingmi had practically worn her idleness on her face, either fussing with this or that all day. Elder Hua couldn't stand it anymore and had Secretary Sun find and dump a lot of the materials she had previously requested on her.
Ji Xingmi didn't refuse and carefully examined the documents. Of course, she didn't let go of her gossiping nature. This was because the little chicken had already gathered follow-up information, which it had brought back from its mother.
After being tricked by Number One, the Feng family's old man was admitted to the hospital. Everyone knew that men couldn't get pregnant, let alone a man over fifty. Something must have been wrong, so Feng Xiang had been staying at the military hospital since that day. Different doctors and even many specialists came for consultations daily, with experts reportedly arriving from all over. This greatly angered Feng Xiang, but there was nothing he could do. He could only throw tantrums in his hospital room every day, and his temper seemed to grow with each passing day. Many younger nurses didn't want to get yelled at by him.
However, an even more astonishing event was yet to come. Feng Xiang's belly began to swell slowly, leaving the doctors even more at a loss. At this time, ultrasounds didn't exist, and all the symptoms were similar to pregnancy. All the doctors were dumbfounded.
Just as Feng Xiang's belly had grown to the size of someone four months pregnant, on the day the doctors were holding a consultation, suddenly all the doctors, nurses, and even Feng Xiang's own guards ran out of the room as if they were being chased.
It was said that their faces were green when the doctors emerged that day. Some younger doctors even threw up outside the room. It was only later that everyone learned that during the consultation that day, just as they were about to examine his anus, Feng Xiang let out a long, foul-smelling fart. It was said that several doctors were directly hit and vomited uncontrollably. The key was that the fart was incredibly pungent, and Feng Xiang himself was almost fainted by his own gas.
Ji Xingmi, for one, was laughing heartily and even found a notebook to record everything. Gu Jingyi leaned over to peek and saw that she was recording the changes in Feng Xiang after he was affected by her medicine, adding notes about the approximate duration of about 10 days. Gu Jingyi smiled when he saw her pull out another notebook and went about his own business.
Elder Hua and the others had been extremely busy lately. Besides their ongoing tasks, they had also dealt with many matters following Feng Xiang's departure. Premier Number One and Elder Hua had acted swiftly, holding numerous meetings and making many decisions during his absence. Feng Xiang had received the news, but he was helpless. Was he going to make everyone wait just because he wasn't there? Obviously not. He could only watch Elder Hua and the others' actions with anxiety, planning to make his move after he recovered.
So Elder Hua had been truly busy recently. Ji Xingmi didn't bother him, as she had a lot of free time and had taken on the role of logistical support. She helped the auntie with cooking, secretly adding some spiritual spring water to the soup for them to drink. She also helped Secretary Sun with filing documents. Although Secretary Sun and the others had learned how to use the machines, their speed was still not quite up to par. Since Ji Xingmi had nothing to do, she was roped into doing clerical work.
After the examination, Feng Xiang was told there were no physical issues. He returned despite the doctors' warnings. Fortunately, Elder Hua and the others had already accomplished a lot during his absence and had been closely monitoring his movements. Seeing that he had returned, Elder Hua scaled back his overt actions, shifting his operations from public to covert.
Upon his return, Feng Xiang's first act was to clean out his household. The first thing he did was send the old lady to live with her son and his family. He also told her that she was no longer to live in the compound from now on! The old lady was naturally unwilling. Living there was such a prestigious position, but now she was being driven out and told she couldn't come back, how could she face anyone? So, she made a huge scene, but after Feng Xiang said something to her, she stopped and left with her belongings. This speed surprised everyone around.
After Elder Hua resumed his previous life, Ji Xingmi took her people to many places. First, they visited the numerical control technology they were developing, and then she spent a few days at another research institute. Ji Xingmi, with her fingerprint collection machine, went to the military region again. This time, the place she went to was even more secretive. Not only did she have the directive from Number One, but her identity was also utilized to its full extent.
The person who came to pick her up was very young, with no military insignia on his shoulders, making his rank indistinguishable. The person immediately saluted.
"I am the Minister of Information Security. Our department received instructions to pick you up."
"Thank you!"
The person was surprised the moment he saw Ji Xingmi but quickly composed himself. After getting into the car, they made several transfers before reaching their destination. However, she did not enter the innermost section but went directly to the research laboratory. Upon entering the laboratory and seeing many computers, Ji Xingmi's eyebrows arched. She thought to herself that they moved really fast.
The person introduced Ji Xingmi to the head of the research laboratory, Zhang Heng. Ji Xingmi cut straight to the chase and stated her reason for visiting. The research lab, which had been buzzing with discussion, fell silent. Most importantly, everyone stopped and stared at Ji Xingmi, their eyes shining. The little chicken and mushroom had already stepped forward to guard Ji Xingmi on either side.
"Apologies, Major General Ji, they don't mean anything by it, they're just a bit excited!"
When the people in the office heard their director's surprised tone when addressing the other person, Ji Xingmi merely smiled and shook her head, indicating she didn't mind, and told the little chicken and mushroom to relax. Chen Yi, standing by, also spoke at this moment: "Major General, according to base regulations, guards are not allowed. How about I arrange for them to go to the dormitory first? Number One has instructed us to arrange accommodation for you."
"Alright~ Then you go with him first. Don't worry about me here!"
"Yes!" The two followed Chen Yi. Zhang Heng began to familiarize Ji Xingmi with the research laboratory and introduced her to the people within. Everyone there was exceptionally enthusiastic and always looked at her with a strange gaze. She felt like a piece of meat thrown into an alligator pond, at risk of being bitten at any moment.
However, some people ignored her and were busy with their work. Ji Xingmi didn't mind, as she had her own agenda here and was not here for an inspection.
