Chapter 838: Applying for National Child Rearing 1
The next day, Si Lisao accompanied Ye Siyuan to A Country, and Mo Yinhe, feeling uneasy, took Si Mingjing along.
Sitting on the plane, Si Mingjing pressed her temples and laughed, "Are you worried about Siyuan, or are you just looking for an excuse to relax in A Country because you don’t want to stay on Mu Continent?"
Mo Yinhe pinched her cheek and said, "Mingjing, there’s a saying, ’Knowing the truth but not revealing it.’ You need to understand this level of tact in life. It’s not that I don’t want to stay on Mu Continent, but I’m idle. Unless you find something for me to do?"
Si Mingjing kicked Mo Yinhe lightly, laughing, "I see you coming and going all day. It doesn’t look like you’re idle. The one who’s truly idle is me."
Mo Yinhe was interested in the random door and spent his days coming and going, busy with unknown affairs.
Mo Yinhe said, "I read a paper by a professor at A Country’s Imperial Capital University. He has some interesting ideas, and I want to recruit talent. Mingjing, I’m not going for leisure; I’m going to seek talent."
Si Mingjing couldn’t argue with him, rested her head on his shoulder for a nap, and said, "Since national childcare is a liberation for women, I want to negotiate with A Country this time and obtain this technology."
Si Mingjing had her own goals. Now, as the ruler of the country, she wanted to benefit her people.
But Mo Yinhe said, "It’s a bit difficult. Even I couldn’t get hold of that technology."
Mo Yinhe naturally wanted good, promotable technology for his people, but after several exchanges with A Country, the president never relented.
Si Mingjing said, "Let’s give it a try. Giving up is not my style."
Mo Yinhe hugged her tightly, loving her perseverance, and encouraged her, "Then you give it a try. If you succeed, share it with me. As the Crown Princess Consort of Atlantis, you must benefit the women of Atlantis."
"Okay." Si Mingjing was not a petty person.
She even thought this technology was excellent. Why didn’t the A Country government make it public for all the girls on Earth to achieve reproductive liberation?
Si Mingjing pondered where to start.
The plane arrived in A Country, landing at the Ye Family Manor. The four disembarked from the plane and took the estate’s tour cart to Mo Yinhe’s villa for a brief rest.
Yan Zhenxi received the news and prepared dinner, inviting them over for dinner.
So they headed to the villa where Yan Zhenxi lived.
All within the manor, not far apart, the four strolled over while chatting along the way.
At the doorstep, they saw Yan Zhenxi looking out. Ye Siyuan immediately ran over, startling Si Lisao, who sternly said, "No running!"
Ye Siyuan didn’t listen, eager to share with Yan Zhenxi.
Yan Zhenxi was her closest friend since childhood, and the two walked inside hand-in-hand.
Sitting down, Yan Zhenxi said, "You move so fast! Ten days ago, I attended your wedding, and now you’re pregnant, I saw it on Weibo and thought it was media hype."
Ye Siyuan smiled mischievously, "I didn’t expect it either, I’ve been pregnant for over a month, while others feel it after two or three months. Now I love eating sour food, do you think I’ll give birth to a fish or a dragon?"
Yan Zhenxi was puzzled by the question, jokingly said, "Ask your husband."
Ye Siyuan frowned, "I asked him, he said it’s a fish, but I think it might be a dragon. Oh, it’s so worrying, my brother even joked I’d give birth to a monster, with the upper half as a dragon and the lower half as a fish."
Yan Zhenxi sympathized with her. It seemed Siyuan would worry until the baby was born.
At this moment, Ye Shiting and his wife returned from their walk.
Seeing the guests, Ye Shiting said, "Nephew-in-law has arrived."
Si Lisao politely nodded to Ye Shiting, "Uncle."
Si Mingjing also nodded to Ye Shiting, "Uncle, how’s your health? Shall I give you another examination?"
Ye Siyuan’s wedding was missed by Ye Shiting because of pressing issues in A Country, planning to attend Ye Siyuan’s wedding later in Atlantis, and it wasn’t regrettable.
Ye Shiting nodded, "Alright."
Ye Shiting sat on the sofa, reached out his arm, and said, "Traditional Chinese medicine is truly profound."
He had taken many western medicines and seen several western doctors, but they only treated the symptoms without addressing the root cause. Yet, the period of taking traditional Chinese medicine had almost eliminated the joint pain. Ye Shiting personally felt that traditional Chinese medicine was wonderful.
Si Mingjing didn’t have to check his pulse; Ye Shiting knew that his arthritis was mostly cured by the medicine.
"Uncle, the cold has been removed, your health has greatly improved. I’ll prescribe you seven more doses to consolidate the effect, then you won’t need to take traditional Chinese medicine anymore."
Traditional Chinese medicine is bitter; nobody likes it.
Ye Shiting’s stern face softened into a benevolent smile, "Alright, I’ll follow medical advice."
Si Mingjing adjusted the prescription, reducing the dosage.
After writing it, she handed it to Ye Shiting, thoughtfully saying, "Uncle, I have a matter I want to consult you about, wondering if you can give me some advice?"
Ye Shiting put the prescription aside and took the tea handed by the butler, stirred the cup, and took a sip.
"What is it?"
"You once were the president of A Country, and the national childcare plan was also implemented during your presidency. I want to consult you about the conditions under which A Country would share its national childcare technology with other countries." Si Mingjing honestly stated, "I’m very interested in this technology and want to promote it in Mu Continent. I am sincerely willing to make an equal exchange."
Ye Shiting was once the president of A Country, and the national childcare plan was initiated during his presidency. It’s been over twenty years now, so Ye Shiting surely knows the details.
Si Mingjing intended to repay her uncle’s favor by treating him, asking for a favor of guidance in return.
Ye Shiting smiled wryly.
He took two sips of tea and said, "Mingjing, it’s a matter of the state."
Si Mingjing sat upright, "Uncle, I’m now speaking to you as the Queen of Mu Continent, consulting you on a matter of state. Good technology should benefit all humanity, as I thought when sharing the cancer formula."
Ye Shiting put down his teacup, acknowledging her benevolent intent, and explained the truth, "Good technology should indeed benefit all humanity. However, the expert who developed this technology was unwilling to share it with other countries. When A Country faced severe population aging, while the nation was helpless, an expert volunteered to share this technology with the country. The condition for sharing was non-disclosure to other nations—this is the agreement the country has reached with her; actions must be kept truthful."
It’s not that A Country is unwilling to share the technology; it’s just that the core expert does not wish to.
The expert is still alive, and at the national level, they must keep their word.
Ye Shiting said, "Unless you can persuade her personally."
