The program's host was very witty and humorous, with excellent control over the show. The conversation caused Meng Shuo Jing no discomfort at all.
After satisfying everyone's curiosity about Meng Shuo Jing, the host asked the question everyone was eager to hear.
"Mr. Meng, we are all very curious why Lin Jing Technology developed this bracelet, and why you sell it so cheaply. Do you really make money?"
"Actually, this bracelet was developed by my wife, and of course, I fully support it. Whether it makes money or not is not important, as this bracelet receives subsidies from the state."
Meng Shuo Jing steered the conversation towards Lin Yan, wanting everyone to know about their relationship.
"Your wife developed it? So your wife is a researcher?" The eldest son of the Meng family got married very early, marrying as soon as he was eligible to register. It's said that he has a very good relationship with his wife.
"But why would your wife choose to develop such a bracelet?"
"It's because my wife and I first met because of human traffickers. I was almost abducted when I was little and felt utterly desperate, unable to break free from the trafficker.
But then my wife discovered it and had her bodyguard save me."
"So it was a damsel in distress saving a knight? A life-saving debt, how can one repay it, so you can only pledge yourself to her?" the host teased.
"Not exactly, but from that moment on, I started paying attention to this kind girl. Later, she saved my nephew from human traffickers, which made my entire family very grateful to her.
It was because she directly confronted human traffickers that she began to actively research cases of abduction. That's when she discovered how many children are trafficked every year. So she wanted to develop a product like this."
Meng Shuo Jing said, he didn't mind letting others know about his family's experiences. After all, these were facts, and even for the wealthy Meng family, they couldn't guarantee the safety of their own children, let alone ordinary families.
Every child is the hope of a family, and if that child is lost, a family may be shattered.
The variety show on television continued, but Fu Yin was no longer paying attention.
So this was the fated connection between Lin Yan and Meng Shuo Jing? No wonder in her previous life, even when Meng Shuo Jing knew Lin Yan wasn't the Fu family's daughter, he still chose to get engaged to her.
So it wasn't like she had imagined, using a child to get ahead. He truly loved Lin Yan, so much so that he ignored her background.
Perhaps it started with gratitude, but later he must have fallen in love with her. Meng Shuo Jing was not the type to give up his own happiness for a debt of gratitude.
Fu Yin felt ridiculous. She hadn't even understood the situation properly and had judged a person or an event based on her own assumptions.
She lost fairly. If she hadn't harbored such great animosity towards Lin Yan, if she hadn't wanted to snatch Lin Yan's fiancé, would all of this have been avoided? She was already doing much better than in her previous life.
But the allure of wealth had blinded her, and the smooth sailing life had also nurtured her ambition and desires, leading her to this point. If only she could have a second chance...
Yes, if she could have a second chance, she would absolutely not oppose Lin Yan again. She would rely on her own efforts to ascend to a high position, just like Lin Yan was now.
This variety show was uploaded online, and discussions erupted instantly, with dense bullet comments almost obscuring the screen.
"I'm envious of such love!"
"A damsel in distress saving a knight! I feel like I've discovered a new way to marry into a wealthy family."
"Look what I found, the wife's bodyguard. What kind of family has bodyguards?"
"Blindly, you've discovered the crucial point!"
"I was too naive, but this bracelet is really useful. At least I feel more at ease when my child goes out!"
...
Lin Yan didn't have time to deal with Fu Yin. Even though the system had told her about Fu Yin's release from prison, she didn't have the time to care.
Lin Yan's position in scientific research was becoming increasingly prominent. Many of her papers were published in top domestic and international scientific journals, and she herself had become a crucial figure in the research institute.
She hadn't intended to join a national-level research institute; she wanted to research things she enjoyed. However, due to her exceptional talent, the institute was unwilling to let her go.
Furthermore, Lin Yan hadn't completely refused, so she joined the research institute, becoming an ordinary yet extraordinary researcher.
She was ordinary in the sense that her treatment was the same as that of regular researchers. But she was extraordinary because of her genius and her research capabilities.
Since joining the scientific research institute, her position had risen rapidly, from a minor figure organizing documents at the periphery to a host responsible for a research project.
Lin Yan had not abandoned her own research either, though progress was relatively slow. However, Lin Yan had a lifetime to research, so she wasn't in a hurry.
After Lin Yan joined the national-level research project, China's technological level improved rapidly. Without anyone noticing, many technological products became increasingly convenient and affordable.
Lin Yan gave birth to their first child, a son, in the fifth year of her marriage to Meng Shuo Jing. This was something Meng Shuo Jing, who had been anticipating a "little padded jacket" (a term for a daughter), found hard to accept.
However, this child strongly resembled Lin Yan and was exceptionally intelligent at a young age. This made the Meng and Lin families dote on him.
Although Meng Shuo Jing wasn't initially fond of such a "brat," as the child increasingly resembled Lin Yan, Meng Shuo Jing became unwilling to see him suffer even the slightest grievance. He became the one who spoiled the child the most.
This was a mischievous and clever child who was interested in numbers from a young age and had a talent for economics. Therefore, Meng Shuo Jing began to cultivate him early on.
Later, Lin Yan gave birth to a daughter. However, this daughter's personality was the complete opposite of her son's. This child was obedient and well-behaved, but she unexpectedly enjoyed studying various plants.
From a few years old, their daughter began learning to make plant specimens and read books on plant encyclopedias. Lin Yan also accompanied her in these activities and introduced her to experts in botany.
Both children chose their own paths from a very young age, and Lin Yan fully supported them. Although Meng Shuo Jing worried about his daughter enduring hardship, he couldn't do anything if she liked it.
In this world, Lin Yan retired very early. She left the research institute before she was forty. The remaining time was spent with Meng Shuo Jing, dedicating themselves to public welfare.
They established a charitable foundation, primarily to help students from impoverished families continue their education.
As long as the situation was verified, teachers could apply to the foundation for scholarships, which would cover a child's tuition and living expenses for a year.
Concurrently, Lin Yan and Meng Shuo Jing also donated laboratories to many remote schools. These laboratories were equipped with various experimental instruments and video tutorials. This was also to enhance the teaching capabilities of schools in these remote areas and to cultivate students' hands-on experimental skills.
