Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 57 Seeking help from the teacher
Li Weidong found Zhou Zhenbei.

"Uncle Zhou, I need to use the phone. Call my teacher at Harbin Institute of Technology and ask him to send me some college students."

"Oh, go ahead and hit me!" Zhou Zhenbei agreed readily.

"Okay." Li Weidong said.

Li Weidong picked up the office phone and dialed the number of Harbin Institute of Technology.

"Hello, I'm Li Weidong. Please transfer me to Professor Lin."

beep...

"Hello, I'm Lin Zhengyuan. Who is this?"

Soon the call was answered and a man's voice came from the phone.

"Teacher, I'm Li Weidong."

Li Weidong said very respectfully.

This Lin Zhengyuan, Professor Lin was his teacher when he was studying at Harbin Institute of Technology.

"Hey, I thought you had returned to the Forbidden City and forgotten me.

What's going on? You don't come to me for no reason, you must be asking me for something."

Professor Lin Zhengyuan's voice came from the microphone.

"Teacher, I still can't hide it from you. It's about the computer thing I mentioned to you at school before. Do you remember?" Li Weidong asked.

"You mean chips, remember? We're also conducting chip research here, but the progress is not great. All those students combined are not as good as you alone."

You are such a jerk! You just said hello and left right away, leaving for the entire city. You've been gone for over half a month without even calling me back. Now that you have something to do, you finally come looking for me."

Professor Lin's voice was filled with complaints.

At first, he tried every possible way to keep Li Weidong, but Li Weidong insisted on returning to Beijing.

Professor Lin felt it was a pity that such a talented person could not stay.

"Teacher, I have a big project that requires a computer. I have almost figured out the computer chip, and all that's left is the experiment.

Teacher, you must help me this time. My project is very important.

Please help me manage the chip project, and bring two hundred students from computer science, materials science, and mechanical engineering majors with you."

Li Weidong said with a smile, and then covered his ears.

Because Li Weidong knew that Professor Lin would be extremely shocked when he heard the good news.

"what?
Two hundred students?
Why don’t you want the stars in the sky?”

Sure enough, there was an angry roar from the other end of the phone.

"Li Weidong, I think it's better for us as teacher and student to have less contact in the future. I'm afraid you'll make me angry to death."

Professor Lin said.

It would be fine if they didn't contact him, but once they did, it seemed like they were trying to kill him.

It wasn't enough for him to help him, he also needed two hundred students from various majors. If the principal knew about this, he would definitely eat him up.

"I haven't even told you yet, kid. You were hiding it at school, but as soon as you got back to Beijing, you just let loose and did it?

When the Ministry of Industry sought to verify your new technologies, they asked our school for help.

When the principal found out, he scolded me for the whole day.

Ask me why I didn't keep you.

That’s not all. Commander Chen from the army also came to me personally and scolded me, asking me why I didn’t recommend you to their army.

I haven't settled this score with you yet, but you're asking me for more men. Two hundred more?"

Professor Lin on the other end of the phone was cursing and venting his dissatisfaction over the past few days.

Professor Lin started taking care of Li Weidong when he was a freshman in college. Professor Lin and his wife had no children, so they raised him like their own son.

Professor Lin is considered a veteran of HIT. He has excelled in academics since childhood and went abroad to study at the top of his class.

After completing his further studies, Professor Lin gave up his high-paying job abroad and resolutely chose to return to his homeland to train educational talents for his country.

Li Weidong learned a lot from Professor Lin and was very grateful and respectful to him.

Faced with Professor Lin's endless chatter, Li Weidong could only listen silently with a bitter face.

After a while, Professor Lin finally calmed down and continued:

"I really owed you in my past life. Aren't you familiar with the principal? Why don't you go find him yourself?"

"Hehe, teacher. I'm just afraid that the principal will know that I not only kidnapped you, but also so many students. He will definitely skin me alive." Li Weidong said with a wry smile.

"Aren't you afraid that he will skin me alive?" Professor Lin said helplessly.

"Teacher, how is that possible? How could such a small matter be so difficult for you? That must be impossible!"

I would like to thank the teacher in advance.

I went hunting a few days ago and killed a blind bear. I've saved its paws for you and your wife, waiting for your arrival. Teacher, when you arrive, please call me and I'll pick you up at the station.

I have something else to do here, so I won't talk to you for now. I'll hang up first and wait for your good news. By the way, when you come, bring my master's wife with you, I miss her. "

Li Weidong finished speaking in one breath and hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to respond.

Having spent so many years with Professor Lin, Li Weidong knows him very well.

He was a typical teacher with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He was definitely concerned about Li Weidong's affairs.

Li Weidong thought about the engineers promised by the Ministry of Industry, the weapons experts from the military and the students brought by the teachers in a while.

Li Weidong is in a very happy mood!

On the other end of the phone, Professor Lin was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring.

"You little bastard, you still give me a hard time even after graduation. Just wait and see how I'll deal with him when I get to the city."

Professor Lin cursed as he walked out of the office and prepared to go find the principal.

As soon as he left the house, a student came running over and said anxiously:

"Professor Lin, please go and take a look. There's another problem with the chip."

"Don't worry about it for now. Tell them to get ready. We're going to Sijiu City to look for your Senior Brother Li Weidong. He's already completed the deduction and is waiting for us to come over."

Professor Lin said with pride.

The only thing that made Li Weidong happy was that he could look good when he went out.

I don’t know how many teachers in Harbin Institute of Technology envy him.

After sending the students away, Professor Lin went to the principal's office. A while after Professor Lin went in, the principal's loud roar was heard from the principal's office, followed by a fierce quarrel, and then after two bangs, the sound gradually became lower and turned into the sound of bargaining.

About half an hour later, Professor Lin sneaked out of the principal's office.

Professor Lin sneaked back home like a thief.

Only after entering the house did I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, we weren't discovered. I didn't expect this old guy to be so heavy-handed. Ouch!"

Professor Li touched the bruises on his eyes and smiled bitterly.

This is Professor Lin’s wife. She came out when she heard the noise.

Seeing Professor Lin looking like he had just had a fight with someone and hadn't won yet, I was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

A few years ago, when Li Weidong was around, when Professor Lin and other professors were exchanging academic ideas, when neither of them could convince the other, the literary competition would often turn into a physical one.

At that time, there was Li Weidong. Although Li Weidong would not help Professor Lin in a fight, with Li Weidong's protection, he rarely suffered any losses.

This is the third time that Professor Lin has returned with panda eyes since Li Weidong left.

"Lao Lin, who are you with this time? Lao Li? Or Lao Meng?" asked Li Weidong's master's wife Li Qingxue.

"Hmph, how could these two weak scholars who can't do anything with their limbs be my opponents? This is a fight with the principal." Professor Lin said proudly.

Li Qingxue asked in confusion, "Why did you fight with the principal?"

"It's all about that brat Li Weidong. Okay, go pack up, we're going to Sijiu City. This little bastard said he missed his master's wife." Professor Lin complained, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Li Qingxue rolled her eyes at him and happily went to pack her luggage.

……

After Li Weidong finished the call, he asked Zhou Zhenbei for some people and went to unload the laboratory equipment to the research institute. He placed it in the small hole at the innermost part, connected the power supply, and then began to debug.

By the time the debugging was completed, it was already dark, and everyone left the institute to eat.

The canteen in the camp might have left some food for the soldiers, but it should be cold by this time.

We can't let the soldiers work all afternoon and then go home without a hot meal. Li Weidong had already asked Squad Leader Wang to tell Nan Yi that he had made some extra food in the evening and kept it warm in the pot.

Everyone had a meal together, and the soldiers praised Nan Yi's cooking skills, which made Nan Yi so happy that he was visibly dismayed.

During this time, Zhou Zhenbei's guard came and told Li Weidong that Harbin Institute of Technology had called and that his teacher would be taking a train tomorrow, so he was asked to pick them up at the station the day after tomorrow.

Li Weidong said that after he knew about it, he invited Zhou Zhenbei's guard to have dinner, but the guard declined and left.

After Li Weidong and the others finished eating, they also went their separate ways.

Li Weidong returned to the dormitory and thought for a while. The teachers will come the day after tomorrow, so he has to urge the dormitory to be cleaned up tomorrow.

Also, we're going to hunt some game tomorrow. It's the first time the teachers are here, so we have to treat them well. What if they run away? Once they come, we can't let any of them get away.

Another is the production of semiconductor materials and photolithography machines.

Li Weidong took out a pen and paper and began to write. It took him a while to finish. Tomorrow, he would give this paper filled with various materials and equipment to Zhou Zhenbei and ask him to deliver it to the leader.

Thinking of Zhou Zhenbei, I thought of the weapons for deployment, and then wrote some materials needed to make new firearms.

After thinking about it and finding nothing important, I washed up and went to bed.
