With the contract signed, the preliminary preparations for the research institute were complete. Although Wang Zijin wanted to report the institute's exact location to the civic center immediately, she noticed the darkening sky and assumed the staff had already left for the day.
After collecting the keys, she drove her husband and Junior Xiaoxiao back to their cozy home.
The trio finally returned to the familiar Green City Community at 8 PM.
Back home, Su Qi felt this had been the busiest and most fulfilling day of her life. It seemed almost unreal that they had resolved all the research institute matters in just one day.
This sense of unreality caused Su Qi to slightly burn two dishes while cooking dinner.
However, since all three had skipped lunch, her ravenous wives didn't complain much about the less-than-perfect meal.
Especially Junior Xiaoxiao, who, perhaps due to resolving her inner conflict the night before, had regained her usual playful demeanor. She surprisingly ate three large bowls of rice.
Watching her little wife eat so heartily, Su Qi suddenly had an uneasy feeling. She worried that if her little wife continued eating like this, she might become chubby. More importantly, Su Qi feared Xiao Xiaoxiao's Strength might exceed 5 points after completing her recent tasks, which would be counterproductive.
So when the little one reached for a fourth bowl, Su Qi promptly confiscated her chopsticks.
Although slightly disappointed, Xiao Xiaoxiao was already 80% full and didn't protest. She cheerfully volunteered for dish-washing duty instead.
Wang Zijin watched her husband and Junior Xiaoxiao happily washing dishes, thinking they were being too carefree. While the initial preparations were complete, many details regarding the research institute still needed attention.
However, looking at the innocent Xiao Xiaoxiao, who only knew about medicine, and her husband, who knew little beyond stock trading when establishing Qi Yun Investment Co., Ltd., Wang Zijin decided to take on the detailed work of establishing the institute herself.
As the Student Union President at Su University, Wang Zijin had strong organizational skills. Combined with her medical family background, she quickly compiled a list of issues to be resolved.
When Su Qi finished helping her adorable little wife wash dishes, she was shocked to see the dense list her wife Zijin had written.
Were there really so many things left to handle?
As Su Qi felt lost about where to start, she heard her wife Zijin say, "Hubby, Xiaoxiao, leave the other matters to me. You two should think about a name for the research institute!"
Su Qi felt overwhelmed by her wife Zijin's suggestion. Naming things always felt embarrassingly difficult to her.
But unlike Su Qi, Xiao Xiaoxiao quickly spoke up: "Sister Su, Sister Zijin, I know what name we should use!"
Hearing her little wife's excited voice, Su Qi's mood lifted. She gently patted Xiao Xiaoxiao's head and said softly, "Alright, let's hear what name our research director Dr. Xiao suggests for our institute!"
Hearing "research director," Xiao Xiaoxiao unconsciously straightened her back. She happily said, "Sister Su, Sister Zijin, you see, Qi Yun Investment Co., Ltd. is named after Sister Wang Yun and Sister Su who manage it together. Since the three of us are in charge of the research institute, why don't we use our names? How about that?"
Su Qi was surprised by her little wife's suggestion, finding it somewhat logical.
Wang Zijin, looking at the adorable Junior Xiaoxiao, thought for a moment and proposed:
"How about Xiaoxiao Qi Jin Research Institute'?"
Su Qi felt the name sounded a bit childish, but before she could object, her little wife Xiaoxiao quickly raised her hand in agreement:
"That sounds great! Sister Su, let's use this name!"
As she spoke, the little one kept tugging at Su Qi's apron with both hands.
Faced with her little wife's cute, wheedling voice and her wife Zijin's smiling gaze, Su Qi agreed despite feeling something was off about the name.
After all, treating her three wives was more important than the institute's name!
With the name settled, Wang Zijin began working on the institute's construction aspects.
As the Student Union President of Su University, Wang Zijin had extensive connections. Moreover, she had contacted many alumni for investment when establishing Qi Yun Investment Co., Ltd., so she could now seek their help with the institute's construction.
Su University was a top institution with many talented alumni in various fields.
Although not every call Wang Zijin made was fruitful, by 2 AM, she had resolved all matters related to the research institute.
Many alumni, upon hearing that their Junior Wang Zijin was establishing an institute to research the virus, generously offered their services free of charge.
Wang Zijin insisted on paying, but was deeply touched by the alumni's words. Perhaps this was the true meaning of being schoolmates.
After hanging up the final call, Wang Zijin felt truly grateful for having attended Su University. So many seniors had extended their help during this tense period.
As Wang Zijin was reflecting on Su University's invisible cohesion, a familiar fragrance reached her nose.
She then felt a soft touch on her crimson lips, followed by an irresistibly sweet taste.
Savoring this sweetness, Wang Zijin realized that perhaps her greatest gain from attending Su University was meeting her husband.
How adorable that she wanted to stay up late together despite barely being able to keep her eyes open!
After indulging in her husband's sweetness, Wang Zijin quickly embraced the soft, fragrant, and now sleeping Su Qi.
However, she discovered that a small octopus was still clinging to her husband's waist.
Seeing Junior Xiaoxiao hugging her husband's slender waist, Wang Zijin thought for a moment, then placed the small Clefairy plush from the bedside table into the little one's arms.
Soon after, Xiao Xiaoxiao released Su Qi's waist and affectionately hugged the Clefairy instead.
Seeing her junior in this state, Wang Zijin smiled gently, then carefully pulled her husband into her own embrace.
Sweet dreams all night long.
