"Hey, son, what do you think about the Yang Family's little girl I mentioned last time?"
After dinner, the family sat on the sofa watching TV. During a commercial break, Mother Ji started to meddle in her son's love life again.
"Not suitable, not interested!" Ji Yuan replied. He was quite frustrated; his mom seemed to have nothing better to do and was driving him crazy!
Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows and tried to signal his dad for help, but his father pretended to be seriously reading the newspaper, which only made him more furious.
"Hey, it's fine. I never expected you to find someone just like that."
"Huh? Are you saying you have other girls in mind for me?"
"Exactly! Look at this!" Mother Ji said as she pulled out a small notebook from somewhere and started flipping through the pages to show him. "What about the granddaughter of the Sun Family's patriarch? She's cute and well-behaved, plus she's filial."
"Or you could consider the Li Family's daughter. Although her studies aren't great, I've heard her parents spoil her a lot. Just her share in the family business is worth over 4 billion RMB... While they may not be as wealthy as us, they're still doing okay; she wouldn't be a burden on you."
"What about the second daughter of the Wang Family? That girl is quite ambitious; at such a young age, she's managing their company pretty well."
"Marrying her back would definitely not be a loss." Mother Ji continued, "Last time I introduced you to those girls, you complained that their faces were like washbasins. Look this time, I've picked out more than thirty young ladies for you, all delicate and easy to push over. Do you like them?"
Ji Yuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, feeling somewhat speechless. "Mom, I'm only twenty this year. Besides, those who know think you're setting me up for blind dates, and those who don't would think you're the Empress arranging for the Emperor to select a consort with such a grand setup."
Mother Ji's list of potential daughters-in-law almost recorded the daughters of well-known figures in business, politics, and academia across the country, each one outstanding in their own right. He felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. If he nodded even slightly, Mother Ji would probably bring someone home tomorrow!
"If you could solve your lifelong matters by yourself, would you still need me to fuss around?" Mother Ji retorted.
Ji Yuan was left speechless and pretended not to hear her words, continuing to listen obediently to her chatter while his mind focused on his research work.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. During these six months at the National Security Department, Ji Yuan had developed many new technologies, each possessing immense research value, with a significant portion far exceeding the current technological level.
Currently, Ji Yuan has been designated as a key protected individual by the state, classified as a National Treasure level figure. Any requests he makes, as long as they do not violate laws and regulations, will be unconditionally supported by the government. Over the past six months, his father has benefited from his son's status, gaining a series of policy supports that have increased the Ji Family's assets by nearly one-fifth, propelling them into the ranks of the nation's wealthiest.
In the laboratory, Ji Yuan is focused on making final adjustments to his invention. Once the core part is completed, he can leave the rest to other researchers. He doesn't want to exhaust himself and appear haggard at such a young age, losing the vitality of youth! Moreover, the state would not allow him to overwork himself and jeopardize his health.
To some extent, his sustained and long-term contributions to scientific research are what the leaders desire. They would never engage in foolish acts that harm their own interests. Ji Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and murmured softly, "It's almost done, it won't be long before I become a rising star in the scientific community..."
