Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

"AUV, isn't this Mr. Ximen? You're such a busy man! These past two days, let alone seeing you, it's been difficult to even get you to answer a phone call! What's going on today? What's the wind blowing that would cause you to come all this way? We're truly flattered!"

Yes, Bai Ling clearly harbors a great deal of resentment towards Ximen Lang.

It's not that she resents him for going out and seeing those shady girls after he had her and Xia Yiyi.

What angered her was that he had disappeared without a trace for several days after he ran away!

He even went so far as to disappear without a trace, not even bothering to answer her calls, and almost forgot the important matter that I had repeatedly told him to do!

If Bai Ling wasn't angry, then something really would be wrong!
Therefore, it is simply unacceptable!

Seeing that Ximen Lang still had the nerve to say that, Bai Ling immediately mocked him.

Ximen Lang was of course aware that Bai Ling was angry.

After all, even he knew that his move had indeed gone a bit too far.
No, to be more precise, it's just too much!

It was clearly him who repeatedly pressured Bai Ling and Lao Luo to get things done quickly.

But in the end, he almost forgot about it, and forgot about the important matter.

This is unacceptable no matter where you go or who you tell it to.

And then there's the issue of how difficult it is to get through on the phone.

"Honestly, I answered every single one of your calls immediately! At most, my attitude might have been slightly off, right? Maybe a little perfunctory. But other than that, there's absolutely no problem!"

no problem?

That is of course impossible!

But when it comes to matters of principle, Ximen Lang dares to swear to God with his hand on his heart that there are absolutely none!
If there are no issues of principle, then there are no issues!
But Bai Ling only ever cares about one thing: matters of principle.

Therefore, as Bai Ling patted her chest and said these words, her complexion visibly improved.

Knowing he had passed the test, and still feeling somewhat unsatisfied, Ximen Lang immediately shared his experience of the massage parlor with Bai Ling, expressing his sympathy for her.

"Seriously, Bai Ling, it's such a waste that you don't go and experience this! Just like they say online, everyone there has amazing physiques and skills, they're all incredibly talented, and they all have such lovely voices!"

"Can you believe it? That number 8, she's an expert on the history of the Ming Dynasty! And that number 18, she's no ordinary person either. She knows everything about what happened during the Jiajing era, like the back of her hand!"

"Didn't I tell you before that the drama 'Da Ming Dynasty 1566' is very boring and hard to understand? But after these two explained it to me, frame by frame, they really helped me understand it."

"Not only did I finally finish watching this show, but I also thoroughly enjoyed it. It was so interesting! I even want to book them both and have them explain the show to me every day."

"It's just a pity. After I discovered their talent, they immediately teamed up and switched to self-media, refusing my high-salary offer. What a pity, what a real pity."

Upon hearing this, not to mention Lao Luo and Hao Pingchuan standing to the side.

Even Bai Ling was quite shocked by Ximen Lang!

They actually went to that place to have a young lady explain TV dramas to them. What's the difference between that and having them frantically do college entrance exam questions with three years of practice exams and five years of mock exams?
What's the key?
The key point is that, judging from what Ximen Lang said, it seems that the two young ladies were actually persuaded by Ximen Lang to go ashore!
Of course, it's also possible that they simply mistook Ximen Lang for a lunatic and triggered his mental breakdown, so they used this excuse to quickly extricate themselves from this lunatic and avoid being infected by him.

Even so, it's still incredibly outrageous!

I really don't know how to evaluate it.

Bai Ling was completely stunned by Ximen Lang's words, her head buzzing.

No one dared to dwell on the topic any longer; they gave a thumbs-up and left a comment.

"as long as you are happy."

Not daring to waste a moment, they immediately steered the conversation to the important matter at hand.

"Look, these are Gu Zidi's former leaders. Well, after a series of battles, the leaders who are still alive are the ones from the regiment and the division. Those who can be found and can get here in a short time are basically all here. Would you like me to introduce them to you?"

"No need for introductions."

Upon hearing this, Ximen Lang immediately turned his gaze to the several upright and dignified veterans.

Sure enough, their levels were all quite high.

This further solidified his resolve not to get too involved with these people, and Ximen Lang went and confirmed with them again about what he cared about most—the situation back then.

As Gu Zi had said, the truth was indeed true; there was no truth to the claim that they had been betrayed.

When the Ninth Company, where Gu Zidi was stationed, was assigned to a mission, the nature of the mission was explained to Gu Zidi and his men in detail, and the retreat route was planned in an exceptionally clear manner.

It was all an accident, which led to this result.

Ximen Lang immediately asked Lao Luo, who was standing to the side.

Is this an extremely rare, low-probability event, or is it a widespread phenomenon?

Seeing Ximen Lang's inquiry, Lao Luo carefully considered his words before replying.

"It's definitely a minority, especially since such extreme cases are unlikely. But after all, the size of our army is what it is. Back then, things were like that. The army was either being reorganized or on its way to being reorganized. So if you say it's a small number, it's definitely not a small number."

"What's the main problem? The main problem is that these archives are just too difficult to preserve. Due to the conditions at the time, paper archives were inherently difficult to preserve. Because of the constant fighting, they had to be moved around all the time. A little bit was lost here, a little bit was lost there. With all these factors combined, it's hard to say what would happen."

Yes, given the incredibly difficult conditions back then, it was bound to happen that one unexpected event after another.

Therefore, situations like the one in Gu Zidi are almost unavoidable.

"Although it is difficult to avoid, it is still possible to make amends and try to salvage the situation."

"In the end, it all comes down to this file issue. Let's not talk about the ones that have been lost. The files are all gone, so what's the point of discussing them?"

"But we must take these preserved ones seriously and organize them as soon as possible! As for the difficulty in preserving and organizing paper archives, then we should simply stop using paper archives altogether!"

"It's the information age now, so let's just bring over a few servers! And all those electronic devices, since we're already like this, let's just import them in large quantities from YiYi! Record all these files and stuff into them."

"In the future, if there are situations like the one in the millet field, we can search directly from there. This will not only increase efficiency, but also save soldiers who can't find their units from running back and forth. The probability of finding the units will also increase significantly. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Hey, don't tell me, you really shouldn't tell me.

This is really a good idea.

After personally experiencing the convenience of modern society and the internet, Bai Ling felt more and more that the world of Beijing was like a primitive society.

It's not just about wanting the city of Beijing to quickly enter the information age.

But the problem is
They've only just decided to massively expand, importing large quantities of specialized equipment and bringing in a large number of technical personnel from the future. The funding for that isn't even secured yet, and they're already undertaking such a large-scale operation?
"How much money will this cost? You know our situation. We're practically broke right now. Where will this money come from?"

Where did it come from?
"Of course it came from me! Besides, I didn't make you jump straight into the information age; I just bought some equipment and set up a few servers. How much could that cost?"

“Just deduct it directly from my card. Anyway, I can’t spend that money. Not only can I not spend it, but it has also completely drained me, leaving me with only a handsome exterior! Since that’s the case, I might as well use it as a contribution to the world of Beijing.”

As his wealth accumulated, Simon Lang truly felt that money was becoming less and less useful.

Since it's a waste to just leave it there, I might as well use it.

While genuinely helping the world of Beijing, it also incidentally benefits future generations.

Wouldn't it be nice to kill two birds with one stone?

Since Ximen Lang, the person involved, had said so, Bai Ling certainly couldn't refuse.

Although it's not a complete entry into the information age, Bai Ling was somewhat disappointed.

Reaching this point is already quite an achievement.

Therefore, not a single word was spoken.

Bai Ling immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll send the order to Yi Yi later. Tell her to hurry up and buy the items, and then I'll ship them over."

The matter of building several large servers in the 49 City World was decided immediately.

Ximen Lang then turned his gaze to the cave dwelling, which was clearly the same one from the old kiln site.

After asking around, I found out that it was indeed the old kiln where 46 martyrs were buried.

Ximen Lang immediately fell into a dilemma.

As for the reason for the dilemma, it is quite simple.

That was Ximen Lang, who grew up in a peaceful era. He wanted to go through this old cave dwelling to face the cruelty of those years and admire the heroic figures of the soldiers.

But he was also afraid that the scene was too horrific, too horrific for his young mind to bear.

Therefore, he hesitated and immediately fell into a dilemma.

However, after being comforted by Bai Ling, Ximen Lang made his decision.

"Go in! So what if it's a bit brutal? What's the big deal? What storms haven't I, Brother Lang, weathered? Besides, these are all heroes. Even if there were ghosts in this world, they couldn't possibly harm me! So what am I afraid of?"

That's what he thought, and that's what he did.

So, accompanied by everyone, Ximen Lang strode in.

The specific process will not be described in detail here.

In any case, the shock that the situation inside brought to Ximen Lang was absolutely unprecedented!
At least, in the past 20 years, Ximen Lang has never seen a more shocking scene than that.

As a result, inevitably, Ximen Lang took another two days off.

Two days later, thanks to Lao Luo and the local authorities' intensive preparations, the mausoleum was fully repaired, the monument was fully erected, and the medals that should have been awarded to Gu Zidi and his comrades long ago were all ready.

Ximen Lang then returned to the world of Beijing and appeared before the public once again.

It's just that the occasion is too solemn and dignified.

Compared to the past, Ximen Lang was noticeably more composed this time.

His composure was so remarkable that Bai Ling and Lao Luo were somewhat unaccustomed to it, completely unable to imagine that Ximen Lang could be so serious one day.

Until all of this was over, Gu Zidi slowly recovered from his grief.

Ximen Lang suddenly uttered this sentence.

"How about it? I'm asking you how it is? I said I'd take care of everything for you, and I meant it! Not only were the people found and their injustice cleared, but the irrigation canal that runs through the entire coal mountain that I mentioned was also dug out along the way! And it only took four days!"

"Such high efficiency, and the way you handled things so elegantly. You could search the entire city of Beijing, and who else could do this?! Now you know how powerful I am, right? Now you know the weight of the name 'Brother Lang'! What? You know? Then why don't you hurry up and call me 'Brother Lang'?"

The familiar feeling resurfaced, and everyone felt relieved.

"Hmm, that's right, that's exactly what I'm looking for."

Listening to Ximen Lang's words
"You won't even call me Brother Lang."

Knowing that Ximen Lang truly considered Gu Zidi one of his own, and clearly wanted to help Gu Zidi more.

Gu Zidi was still standing there, looking blankly.

Hao Pingchuan immediately urged.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and call Lang-ge'er! Can't you see Lang-ge'er is getting impatient?!"

They urged him repeatedly and hurriedly tried to stop him.

They finally managed to stop Gu Zidi, who kept trying to kneel down to Ximen Lang, from actually kneeling down. They just made him call out "Brother Lang" along with Ximen Lang.

Since they've already called him "Brother Lang," there's not much more to say.

"Since you called me Brother Lang, you, you, you, come here."

With a flick of his finger, as if summoning something, he directly called Lao Luo, whose face was full of helplessness but who was exceptionally useful, to his side.

Ximen Lang said directly.

"The hospital in Beijing has been built, right? Let the experts hold a consultation and give his eyes a proper treatment! Whether it's glaucoma or cataracts, cure them!"

"Then, don't do anything, just rest well and get your health back on track. When I get back, once the motorcycle factory, tricycle factory, and van factory are all built, I'll appoint him as my security captain!"

This means managing the millet fields for the rest of my life.

To be valued so highly by Ximen Lang is truly a meteoric rise.

Just what?
"Motorcycle factory, tricycle factory, van factory? Aren't they supposed to be luxury car factories? How did they turn into these things?" (End of Chapter)
