CHAPTER 627: CHAPTER 589: SHE WAITS

The former colleagues went about their work methodically.

Even with the utmost enthusiasm... due to reasons such as funding, they often felt powerless—new equipment was a luxury, promotional efforts were tight, and many good ideas remained stuck at the proposal stage, lightly brushed aside by the words "due to reasons such as funding." The office was enveloped in a stifling sense of effort that couldn’t break through the bottleneck, like trudging through a swamp.

However, today, a vigorous spring was injected into this stagnant pool!

Like a spring breeze bringing drizzle gently sprinkling over cracked earth.

These colleagues, including myself! All of them—came to life!

He walked into the office and respectfully handed the heavy renewal document to Yan Yueqing with both hands, "President Yan, I’ve brought back the renewal document."

Yan Yueqing took it, seriously reviewed it several times to confirm the renewal was extended by fifteen years, then nodded and officially handed it over to Jun Jiu.

For some reason, Lei Ran suddenly felt—as if President Yan had breathed a sigh of relief?

As if, she had been waiting for this renewal document to succeed?

It shouldn’t be...

Once she arrived, a few phone calls, a transfer of funds, and Sea Star was immediately revived, so why would she care so much about a renewal document?

Lei Ran felt he was overthinking it!

President Yan seems calm and composed, having surely weathered many storms!

Sea Star is just a small issue~

That night.

The presidential suite of a top hotel in Haidu City.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was the dark harbor, with flickering fishing lights swaying in the dense night.

Yan Yueqing, wrapped in a soft robe and holding a cup of hot tea, stood by the window, her eyes deep as she gazed at the land about to undergo a massive transformation.

The door lock lightly clicked, and the tall figure of Jun Lii entered, bringing in a slight chill from outside.

"Did the Du Family take Tang Tang?" Yan Yueqing didn’t turn her head.

"Mm." He took off his coat and naturally walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist, his chin lightly nuzzling the top of her head. "Are you exhausted? You pulled a half-sunk wreck back to the surface in a single day."

Yan Yueqing relaxed in his embrace, absorbing the familiar warmth. "It’s alright, everything proceeded as expected. Lei Ran and Accountant Zhang are now full of vigor, and the expert team has landed, so I finally breathed a sigh of relief."

Jun Lii chuckled softly, his breath brushing her ear: "Your ’expectation’... is rather astounding. From receiving Lei Ran’s call to resolving the situation with funding, contacts, and technology in under twenty-four hours. Yueqing, this speed doesn’t seem as simple as just ’being optimistic’."

His voice carried complete trust and support.

Yan Yueqing turned around to face him, her expression becoming serious. "Ah Li, when I returned from the time flow, I didn’t just bring back fragmented memories of my own; I also had some... vague images and key information about the future."

Jun Lii’s eyes sharpened, his embrace around her tightening slightly. "Haidu?"

"Yes." Yan Yueqing nodded, her gaze once again directed at the dark coastline outside the window, "The images are fragmented, but the information is crucial. If all goes as expected, soon, Hua Country’s high-level officials will officially announce the ’Haidu New Energy Industry Pilot Zone Plan.’ Here, including the sea and port areas that our Sea Star Company relies on, will be core construction zones."

Jun Lii immediately grasped the immense value contained within: "The land prices will soar, and unbelievably, the renewal rights to those thousands of acres of leased sea area for Sea Star will become a ticket worth a fortune!"

"Exactly!" Yan Yueqing’s eyes gleamed with sharp light.

"That’s why you had to act fast!" Jun Lii understood, his tone filled with admiration, "You had to secure the sea area, pull the company back from the brink of bankruptcy, and build a stronghold before the policy went into effect. Being even a day, or a few hours late, could change everything. Capital and legal procedures that smell blood won’t give you a moment’s respite."

"Yes. The freezing procedures, high-level connections, capital injection, stabilizing the situation... all actions must be as quick as lightning. Before they react, or the official announcement triggers a scramble, complete all arrangements to make Sea Star a ’healthy, promising, and asset-secured’ company rather than an unattended piece of fat." Yan Yueqing’s tone was resolute.

Jun Lii was silent for a moment, then asked, "What if... in the unlikely event that your memory fragments are inaccurate, or the policy is delayed or changed unexpectedly?"

He wasn’t questioning, but habitually considering all possibilities.
