Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

On Monday, steel rolling mill workers entered the mill one after another. Just as everyone was getting to their work stations, a person from the publicity department who never usually appeared arrived.

When the propaganda team saw that the visitor was Yang Weimin, they all stood up and greeted him, "Hello, Director Yang."

"Director Yang, is there something important to announce that you've come all this way today?" Guo Xiumei, the head of the publicity department, asked hurriedly.

"I do need to use the broadcasting station for something. Let's go to the broadcasting room to talk."

When Section Chief Guo heard that Factory Director Yang needed to use the broadcasting station, he was full of doubts, but he still took Yang Weimin to the broadcasting station.

When they arrived at the broadcasting station, Yang Weimin explained his purpose. Guo Xiumei was quite shocked to hear that Yang Weimin actually wanted to broadcast her self-criticism. Moreover, he was going to read it himself.

After Guo Xiumei finished setting up the broadcast system.

"Hello, fellow workers, this is Yang Weimin."

When the factory workers heard Yang Weimin's voice coming over the loudspeaker, they all stopped what they were doing. "Why is Factory Director Yang making an announcement today? Is something important?"

"Who knows? We'll find out soon enough."

Then Yang Weimin's voice came over the loudspeaker: "In the past two days, a huge thing has happened in our factory. Sun Dafu of the security department has been corrupted and bribed by spies, and the deputy head of the technical department is a Japanese spy."

"Moreover, the deaths of Mr. Li and his wife from the technical department were not accidental, but rather a murder planned by Japanese spies."

Just as everyone in Workshop 2 was in shock, a loud "bang" suddenly reached their ears.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenhua dropped the tools in his hand to the ground, and the surrounding workers all turned to look at him.

He hurriedly and flusteredly explained, "I just spaced out, hahaha."

The others didn't pay much attention, but Liu Haizhong remembered this person and planned to report him regardless of whether it was true or not.

He just doesn't know who to report it to yet.

"As the director of the steel rolling mill, I bear an unshirkable responsibility for all of this."

I made the following mistake:

"First, we only focused on production progress and forgot that we are still surrounded by wolves and have enemies."

Second, the screening process for hiring is not rigorous enough.

Third, the factory's oversight system is inadequate.

"Starting today, suggestion boxes will be posted in each workshop. We will strengthen supervision and management to ensure that the enemy has no opportunity to exploit us."

When Liu Haizhong heard that there was a suggestion box, he was very happy.

"In closing, I sincerely apologize to all my fellow workers, and I promise that such an incident will never happen again."

Just as Yang Weimin finished speaking, all the employees of the steel rolling mill applauded.

Just as Yang Weimin was reflecting on his actions, Li Yu, who was eating a hand-pulled pancake he had redeemed from the system shop in his dormitory with nothing to do, heard someone knocking on the door.

Li Yu walked over and opened the door while munching on a scallion pancake. There stood a girl who was 1.7 meters tall, with a straight figure, delicate features, and a touch of heroism in her eyes.

When Bai Ling saw Li Yu looking her up and down, her impression of him immediately worsened. When she arrived, her boss had told her that he was an industrial genius, praising him to the skies.

I didn't expect that he would stare at me so intently as soon as we met, not at all like a cultured person.

"Haven't you seen enough, Comrade Li Yu?" Bai Ling said unhappily.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was a little taken aback when I suddenly met such a beautiful girl."

In Li Yu's eyes, the person in front of him was many times more beautiful than those artificial beauties in short videos from his previous life.

"Who are you? How do you know my name is Li Yu?"

When Li Yu saw that the person had called out his name immediately, although he was still smiling and talking to the other person, his whole body was tense. He would immediately take action and capture the person if he made any unusual move.

I don't care if you're a beauty or not; if you pose a threat, I'll kill you.

Bai Ling noticed Li Yu's wariness and immediately said, "I'm from the Special Operations Bureau, my name is Bai Ling. My mission now is to protect your personal safety, and on that premise, assist the steel mill in finding out if there are any other lurking spies."

After speaking, Bai Ling showed Li Yu her identification documents.

Li Yu relaxed the moment he saw that the person who came was indeed protecting him.

"Then come in first."

When Bai Ling followed Li Yu into the dormitory, she saw that the desk was full of books, and there were even two more on the bed, but the bed was not messy as a result.

Li Yu, holding a half-eaten scallion pancake, asked, "Have you eaten? If not, the steel mill canteen is right across the street. There should still be some steamed buns left. Go and eat some."

Bai Ling replied irritably to Li Yu's words, "You don't need to worry about that."

Bai Ling took out a Type 59 pistol and a gun license from her handbag and placed them on the table. "This is what we prepared for you. There are eight bullets in the gun."

"Even though I've given it to you, you can't just fire it randomly. You need to provide a brief explanation for every single missing shot."

After saying that, Bai Ling found a stool and sat down.

Li Yu held the Type 59 pistol in his hand and examined it repeatedly.

"In my past life, although I was involved in the military industry, I never handled guns. I never expected to have them so early in this life," Li Yu thought to himself.

Seeing that Li Yu was alright, Bai Ling planned to first find Yang Weimin to arrange a place for her to stay next to Li Yu, so that it would be convenient for her to protect him.

"I need to see Director Yang to take care of something. If you need to go out, you can call me in Director Yang's office or wait for me to come back."

"Okay, no problem," Li Yu replied perfunctorily while fiddling with his pistol.

They didn't even know when Bai Ling left.

After playing for a while, Li Yu got bored and casually tossed the pistol and gun license into the system space.

Li Yu took the repair manual he had finished writing and planned to go to the technical department to find Li Jianshe. When he arrived at the technical department, he found that everyone was in a state of panic. Everyone was secretly looking around from time to time, as if they were afraid that there was a spy next to them.

As soon as Li Yu entered the technical department, many people greeted him, "Hello, Engineer Li!"

Li Yu responded to each question without putting on any airs of an engineer. When he arrived at Li Jianshe's office, he saw Li Jianshe organizing the technical staff's files.

Li Jianshe was called to a meeting early this morning. After the meeting, he went straight to the archives to retrieve the personnel files of his department.

Just as he was engrossed in watching, he suddenly felt darkness in front of him. When he looked up, he realized it was Li Yu.
