Xinyan and He Jinxuan happily shopped until they were called spendthrifts by onlookers. Returning home, they were interrupted by the news of a fight outside, apparently sparked by the gossip. He Jinxuan then revealed his desire to transfer jobs or take leave due to staffing issues and new ideas from his travels, which Xinyan supported.

He Jinxuan is quite decisive; the next day at work, he talked to the boss about leaving.

However, the boss, who usually had a good relationship with him, didn’t agree.

Instead, he said earnestly, "Jinxuan, in our transport team, each role is indispensable. If you really go through with leaving, coming back might be difficult.

If you’ve made up your mind, I won’t stand in your way. You might as well find a substitute to handle things for you for now, but the position of team leader won’t be available.

If you’re not willing, you can provide proof elsewhere and apply for leave without pay. In case you can’t make it outside, you can come back."

He Jinxuan didn’t want to leave himself a way back: "Thank you for your kindness, but nothing can be built without destruction. Pushing myself might be the only way to achieve great things."

The boss saw his decision was made and smiled, patting his shoulder: "Alright, I appreciate your determination. If you face any difficulties later, you can always ask for my help."

He Jinxuan didn’t refuse: "Okay, I’ll take you up on that."

The two chatted for a while longer and decided to complete the procedures after the New Year.

Now, there are many educated youths returning to the city waiting for jobs, so this opportunity will naturally be a favor for the boss, and he can look forward to earning some money from transferring the job.

Next, He Jinxuan treated the members of the transport team to a meal and began to focus on his own affairs.

The house provided by the transport company also needed to be returned. However, the boss mentioned that he had spent a considerable amount on refurbishing it. He suggested finding someone willing to exchange their house and compensating him for the cost, and the company would cover a portion of it; what remains would be up to him.

He Jinxuan wasn’t expecting such arrangements.

Previously, he hadn’t thought about the newly renovated house, and Xinyan joked with him, "If you feel it’s a loss, just take everything apart and let them experience the raw look of the unfinished house."

At that time, he didn’t quite understand what ’unfinished house’ meant.

After Xinyan explained, they imagined the scene and ended up almost laughing till they cried.

The reason He Jinxuan decided to leave the transport company and focus on his own business was partly because he had thoroughly understood all the processes in the transportation industry.

In addition, he had established good relationships with clients, ensuring future job deals would be no problem.

Most importantly, the workflow at his transport company was extraordinarily busy, and he needed to personally oversee things, not to mention he planned to set up a renovation team.

He realized, traveling across the country, that whether it’s opening new stores or moving into new homes, people don’t just plaster with white paint anymore; he saw the business opportunity in this.

Moreover, with his wife’s full support, he felt reassured.

This situation also meant more time could be spent in the city, working for himself allowed a flexible schedule, so if his wife needed anything, he could be available.

Meanwhile, for Xinyan, final exams start this week, and then a holiday next week.

The professors at the medical department already informed her that once the vacation starts, she’ll have to follow them into surgeries, with no room for negotiation.

Once He Jinxuan finished his tasks, he returned to the small courtyard by the school to accompany her.

No matter how busy he got, he ensured breakfast and dinner were properly arranged, while she ate lunch at the school cafeteria. Life was quite comfortable.

One day, he received a call from Ye Liyan: "Cousin-in-law, we’ve returned to the Capital. When’s a good time for us to meet?"

Xinyan also knew Mr. Ye’s illness couldn’t be delayed any longer: "Check your schedule, and I’ll have your cousin free up some time."

A few days ago, Ye Liyan contacted He Jinxuan via phone and learned that Xinyan was busy with exams: "My cousin said you’re busy with exams these days; will it affect you?"

Xinyan thought about the professors’ notice: "No problem, I’ll probably be even busier after exams; just see how you arrange your time."

Ye Liyan understood that his cousin-in-law was doing this for his grandfather’s health: "Cousin-in-law, thank you. By the way, should I prepare anything in advance?"

Xinyan thought for a moment: "No need, I’ll start with acupuncture therapy, and the herbal prescriptions needed afterwards will be provided. You can just get the medicines then."

Once they agreed on a time, they ended the call.
