Chapter 203 -203 Good Stuff

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng entered the mountains. The two didn’t want to waste time, nor did they wish to face more risks. Although the distance to the base was shorter, security couldn’t be guaranteed 100%, so it was best to hurry back.

They stayed hidden in an area with a view of the car for less than an hour and returned with forty-eight quail eggs. Fifty seemed too deliberate, and more than fifty was just too many.

Gu Pan, with the breeding eggs wrapped in cotton, gave Lu Xuerong a heads up on what they were, and neither Lu Xuerong nor Cheng Yang asked any further questions. With so many resources, they hurried to drive back to the base.

Upon arriving at the base entrance, to be honest, the guards were shocked, and even more so when they saw it was Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng. These two had caused a big stir before, and now they were back?

Even though what they brought back couldn’t match the quantity the military brought, the military had dozens, even hundreds, on their expeditions, while they were just three or four people. How could this not surprise them?

Lu Ruisheng said to the guard, “Call Secretary Li Shukang and tell him his nephew and his wife have returned.”

Upon hearing that these two formidable people were related to Secretary Li, the guard hurried off to make the call.

On the other end, Li Shukang told them to wait, and he would personally come over with his people.

Gu Pan kept holding onto a pack of quail eggs, which were quite precious. If one considered that chickens lay eggs, and eggs produce chickens, these could potentially start a chicken farm in the future.

They were in no rush, content to wait for Li Shukang and his team to come and check everything. They were all from the same side; there was nothing to worry about.

The guard’s admiration for Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng wasn’t just about their actions; these two had become their idols.

The guard captain brought over some stools for them, “Have a seat while you wait. It must have been a tough trip.”

Without ceremony, they sat down and then casually handed over a pack of peanuts and sunflower seeds from their pockets, “We bother you every time we come and go. Thank you for your hard work.”

The guard captain really liked these two. They were generous and knew how to conduct themselves, unlike some leaders’ relatives who had no skills but still liked to look down on others, which was truly annoying.

He smiled broadly, “Thank you. It’s our duty, and besides, you’re contributing to the base. We all benefit from it.”

Gu Pan thought to herself that the captain really knew how to speak, unlike an ordinary soldier.

Soon, Li Shukang arrived, with even more cars this time.

Watching the approaching group, besides Li Shukang, there were also Deputy Base Commander Wang and several managers of the base’s resources who had come along.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng stood up to greet them.

Li Shukang, looking at the two large vehicles filled with supplies, patted Lu Ruisheng’s shoulder vigorously, “Everything went smoothly out there? No dangers encountered?”

This was the first thing he asked, which neither Gu Pan nor Lu Ruisheng had expected. He didn’t start by introducing the leaders or asking about what they had brought back, but instead inquired about their safety first. Honestly, this earned Li Shukang some real points with Gu Pan.

Lu Ruisheng replied, “Pretty smoothly. We ran into some minor trouble but resolved it. We also came across an unexpected find, a waste processing machine for plastics. We figured the base could use it, so we brought it back too.”

Li Shukang nodded, “Good, good.” After saying that, he remembered the people with him and quickly said to Lu Ruisheng and Gu Pan, “I heard you brought back a lot of supplies, so Base Chief Wang came along with me.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng greeted Base Chief Wang, “Nice to meet you, Base Chief Wang.”

Not sure what else to say, and as they were not the type to flatter, to be honest, they weren’t even sure if he was Ruiming’s uncle. If he was, they could indeed end up as enemies in the future.

But Base Chief Wang really admired them. Regardless of whether he could collaborate with the two or not, getting on good terms with them was definitely the right move, “You two really do Secretary Li proud.”

Lu Ruisheng and Gu Pan were also very eloquent, “My uncle has taken great care of me; we hope he’s doing well too.”

At this moment, Li Shukang eagerly eyed the supplies, saying to Base Chief Wang, “Let’s have someone check the supplies on the truck, once they’re inspected, we can move them in.”

Base Chief Lu hastily agreed, “Okay, we’ll get someone to check them right away.”

Li Shukang ordered the inspection to be carried out.

Since Li Shukang’s son had met Lu Xuerong and Cheng Yang before, they exchanged greetings at this time.

Li Shukang also introduced them to Deputy Base Chief Wang.

Cheng Yang and Lu Xuerong were somewhat nervous, constantly smiling, standing beside Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng.

Seeing that the inspection would take some time, Gu Pan, with the quail eggs cradled in her arms, approached Li Shukang, “Uncle, guess what these are?”

Li Shukang looked at the quail eggs nestled in cotton, “Did you really find them?”

He hadn’t put much hope in it when they talked about it earlier; lost in the sight of all the equipment they brought back, he had forgotten about it.

Gu Pan nodded, “Yeah, but we can’t be sure if they are fertilized eggs. We need you to take them back for the experts to study.”

Li Shukang carefully took a bag of eggs, “These could be the base’s hope.”

Base Chief Wang was truly surprised by the sight of the quail eggs, “You found these too?”

Gu Pan nodded, “We saw them on the mountain before; last time we went to Uncle’s house for dinner, after he mentioned it, we decided to try our luck. We really found them, but we’re not sure if they are fertilized eggs, or if they can hatch into quails.”

Base Chief Wang, looking at the eggs, said, “If they can be hatched, these two will have made a great contribution.”

Li Shukang said, “These children are really capable; it’s an honor to have such a nephew and niece-in-law.”

Base Chief Wang’s envy was clearly written on his face. Who could have imagined Li Shukang being so lucky to encounter such young people, and more importantly, why did they go to Li Shukang?

If Deputy Base Chief Wang knew that it was because of Ruisheng that he lost this opportunity, he would definitely have a bone to pick with that grandchild.

He said, “You have an enviable nephew.”

However, Lu Ruisheng couldn’t say anything at this moment, understanding that less is more. He knew about the overt and covert struggles between Secretary Li and Base Chief Wang and wanted no part in them.

The inspection was soon completed. After the leader reported back to Base Chief Wang and Li Shukang, they were allowed to enter.

Li Shukang put the quail eggs back into Gu Pan’s arms, “You all brought these back; they should be counted when we tally up the contribution points later.”

Holding the package, Gu Pan smiled, “Uncle always has our best interests in mind.”

This time, Li Shukang didn’t squeeze into the same vehicle with them; instead, he rode back with Base Chief Wang, probably having matters to discuss on the way.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng followed behind them, with Cheng Yang and Lu Xuerong at the very back.

As these vehicles entered the base, they attracted quite a bit of attention.

They went directly to the same warehouse as before. The facility was well-equipped, and loading and unloading were handled professionally; in just over an hour, everything was unloaded.
