Four Hundred and Sixty-Three Grasping the Last Happiness
Yu Zeyao raised his eyebrows and straightened his expression, "Weapon?"
"The most advanced weapons - built by the current president's secret military base, if Vice President Yu wants it, I can provide it.
Yu Zeyao couldn't help but look at Lan Zhan a second time, and rested his fingers on the edge of the teacup. His expression became a little more solemn, and after a long while, he slowly spoke: "Selling weapons privately is a heinous crime. Not to mention, where did Chairman Lan come from?"
"The Vice President doesn't need to ask more about this. These are my conditions. It's up to you to decide whether to agree or not. You are a smart man, and I believe you naturally know what kind of decision to make."
Yu Zeyao pondered for a long time, seeming to be really thinking about it. After a while, he nodded slightly and said, "I will consider this matter carefully."
"I hope I can get an answer before tomorrow. There are some things that I need to further deploy."
Yu Zeyao stood up, nodded, and asked the housekeeper to send Lan Zhan out.
For a long time, he stared at Lan Zhan's back, thoughtfully. The solemn person on the side couldn't tell what he was thinking at the moment. Cooperating with Lan Zhan will undoubtedly be the best way to stabilize the regime in the future.
However, judging from the vice president's expression, he seemed to be hesitant.

Bai Yeqing arranged a flight in the afternoon.
Before getting on the plane, Xia Xingchen called Shen Min. Knowing that they were going there, Shen Min was very happy and started cleaning early.
Bai Qingrang's body recovered a little, and his energy was much better than that time. Xia Xingchen put a fur collar on him and helped him get on the plane.
The plane is pretty fast. It didn't take long to arrive at Liangcheng.
After leaving the Air Force Ministry, a car took them directly to their home.
Xia Xingchen sat in the passenger seat and occasionally looked back at the two old men sitting in the back seat. They looked at the scenery outside the window through the same window, occasionally chatting in a low voice. The two met their eyes, and their eyes were filled with relief and joy. In fact, the scenery in winter was not as good as that in spring, and the bare branches made the whole small town look more beautiful. The town looked desolate and there was nothing particularly unique about it, but the two old men looked at it with gusto. Even a withered branch seems to have a different flavor.
She thought, it's not that the scenery is unique, but... the person who accompanies her to see the scenery is unique!
Xia Xingchen felt a little more emotional.
However, the thought of my mother returning after the new year adds to my melancholy.
Because she is here, my father's spirits are much better. If I knew she was about to leave, I don't know how disappointed I would be.
She sighed softly and turned back to look at the road ahead. At this age, it is really painful to be separated again.
She was suddenly very happy that she met Bai Yeqing at the right time...
Even more fortunately, there is no separation between them. After the New Year, we are a real couple...
He lowered his head and touched the ring on his ring finger. Thinking of his proposal last night, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my lips.
Therefore, Mr. Bai is not as unromantic as he thought!
……………………
Shen Min had been waiting for them at the door early.
Bai Qing asked people to take in the New Year gifts one by one. The few people staying in the room were quite lively.
The three elders gathered around the stove and talked about the New Year. Shen Min didn't refuse. When they invited her, she nodded and agreed to go with them. Xia Xingchen also breathed a sigh of relief.
We talked about the topic of getting married again. It was said that Shen Min was asked to make a guest list. Shen Min is a low-key person. All his relatives are in Liangcheng, and they are not very close to each other. Xia Guopeng's side had already given up their mats, so naturally there was no one to show up.
After everything was settled, Shen Min got up and went to prepare dinner. Lan Ting wanted to go with him, but Shen Min refused to let her help. Seeing the two mothers pushing back and forth, Xia Xingchen curled her lips and smiled, feeling only happy.
"Okay, stop arguing." Xia Xingchen stood between the two of them, "I'm going to help."
She turned around and said to Mrs. Lanting: "Mom, you go out and walk with dad. I just noticed that as soon as he came in, his heart was attracted by the flowers and plants that my mother planted outside. Please accompany me. He went to the back garden to take a look and be careful not to fall."
Mrs. Lanting was really worried, fearing that he would be unstable on crutches.
Looking sideways, he saw that others had already gone out, so he didn't insist anymore, but hurriedly followed him.
She walked to Bai Qingrang's side in a few steps, seemed to consider it for a moment, and then calmly took his arm. The tension on his arms made Bai Qing's whole body tremble. It seemed that he didn't expect her to behave like this. He lowered his eyes, his eyes passed over her hands, and then fell to her, his eyes a little hot.
Mrs. Lanting felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her.
The vigor that he had in the political arena in the past was now only soft and shy in front of this man.
"...Xingchen said he was worried about you falling. If I hold you up like this, you'll be fine." She explained. However, this explanation is extremely far-fetched.
Bai Qing said 'oh' and looked away from her face. He looked down at the wild flowers on the roadside, and the corners of his lips curved in an arc without hiding it.
He took a step forward and said, "Then you have to hold on tighter. My legs are weak right now. If you let go, you might fall."
"Are you tired from the flight?" Mrs. Lanting frowned worriedly, "How about I help you in to rest?"
She said, really going in with her arm around him. Her worried look made Bai Qingrang smile even deeper.
The warm hand held her hand. She was startled and looked up at him. His eyes were smiling and as gentle as jade. "I was joking with you, don't take it seriously. I am in better spirits now than ever before."
Lanting understood and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked at him with a reproachful look, "Since you are so energetic, you don't need my help."
As she said this, she pretended to pull her hand back. However, he held it tightly. She struggled a few times but failed to break free. Instead, she pulled him over and hugged his arm tighter.
After several times, Mrs. Lanting couldn't help blushing and lowered her head, not daring to meet his mischievous smile. Bai Qingrang looked at her like this and sighed in a trance: "You really haven't changed at all. Now, you are still the same as the girl back then."
"How can it be the same?" Mrs. Lanting sighed: "Time waits for no one. Now even the stars are so big."
"The time left for us is getting less and less..."
As soon as Bai Qingrang said this, he suddenly felt a little sad. The two looked at each other, and he couldn't help but hold Lanting's hand in his palm and hold it tighter.
This time, she didn't struggle anymore, but held his hand tightly with her backhand.
Two people over fifty years old were holding on to the last happiness.
