I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Zhou Weiguo still didn't understand why this person stood on his side from the start, and looked at him curiously.

Wang Jianguo said with a smile, "It was Old Qin who transferred me here. Before I came, I was in the same unit as you, where you are now in the military."

Zhou Weiguo suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "No wonder you seemed so friendly, brother! Turns out you're one of us!"

Wang Jianguo smiled and said, "Of course! Old Qin specially assigned a team to be in charge of the steel rolling mill, as well as your and Comrade Natasha's safety. If you need any help in the future, just let us know."

Li Huaide and Chief Engineer Song knew something about Zhou Weiguo's affairs, so they didn't ask any further questions.

Zhou Weiguo asked, "Brother Wang, how's the motorcycle?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianguo immediately became excited: "This motorcycle is amazing! It's incredibly powerful. I just climbed a steep slope without any problems. I even want to take it hiking!"

Zhou Weiguo looked at Li Huaide: "Old Li, did you just say bad things about me in front of that guy surnamed Wu? Why is that guy like a mad dog, biting anyone he sees?"

Li Huaide was so frightened that he waved his hands frantically: "Weiguo, don't talk nonsense! He just asked me who I was, and I said I was the head of the technical department. I didn't dare say anything else. Who knew this guy wasn't thinking straight?"

Chief Engineer Song said with a smile, "I know this guy. He has no skills whatsoever. He's used to being arrogant because he has a deputy director-level uncle in the ministry. I guess his uncle knows that the steel rolling mill has made great contributions and wants to find a way to get him in here to gild his resume."

Wang Jianguo sneered as he watched the man's retreating figure: "Golden embellishment? With that kind of temperament, he'll probably skin his uncle alive sooner or later."

Zhou Weiguo nodded, then looked at Uncle Song. Uncle Song was circling the motorcycle like it was a treasure, touching it here and there, then looking at Zhou Weiguo with disbelief: "Weiguo, did you really make this motorcycle? Are you sure the engine and other parts aren't imported?"

Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, "It's all domestically produced! However, I feel that the materials in some areas are not good enough, and we will need to make some adjustments later."

Chief Engineer Song looked at Zhou Weiguo as if he were a monster, and asked curiously, "You're not going to build cars next, are you?"

"Hey, Uncle Song, you're wrong. Even if I'm really good, I can't go all out right away. I'm going to research a tractor first and play around with it."

At first, Chief Engineer Song thought Zhou Weiguo's words were fairly normal.

But when he heard the last sentence, he was about to explode and scold the other person for being arrogant, but his eyes inadvertently swept over the motorcycle parked next to him, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say and silently shut his mouth.

Just then, a car slowly drove into the steel rolling mill from a distance.

Zhou Weiguo recognized it at a glance; it was Vice Minister Wang's official car.

The vehicle stopped directly in front of Zhou Weiguo and the others.

Vice Minister Wang got out of the car with a beaming smile and asked, "Weiguo, what's the occasion today? What are you all doing here?"

Seeing Vice Minister Wang's beaming face, Zhou Weiguo teased, "Uncle Wang, judging from your expression, you must have some great news! Tell us about it!"

Vice Minister Wang smiled and pointed at Zhou Weiguo, praising, "You've got a sharp eye, kid! Actually, it's nothing major. The converter project just succeeded, and I've gotten rid of my 'acting' title. We have to thank you and Comrade Natasha for that!"

Li Huaide had no interest in listening to their mutual flattery. He eagerly presented his treasure, saying, "Minister Wang, you've come at the perfect time! Look what this is!"

Vice Minister Wang looked in the direction Li Huaide was pointing, and his heart skipped a beat. Suppressing a slightly frantic thought, he forced a calm smile and said, "Whose motorcycle is that? It looks really impressive!"

Chief Engineer Song chuckled and said, "See? Who would believe this if it were anyone else? This kid's just a 'little monster'!"

Upon hearing this, Vice Minister Wang's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked incredulously, "Don't tell me, this is really the motorcycle that Zhou Weiguo said he was going to develop independently?"

Zhou Weiguo smiled and nodded, then tossed the keys to Vice Minister Wang: "You'll know once you try it yourself."

Without hesitation, Vice Minister Wang hopped on his motorcycle, started the engine, and took it for a test ride.

A moment later, he returned, beaming with excitement: "This motorcycle rides really well! No wonder you haven't been going to the converter workshop much these past three months, focusing all your attention on your own workshop. Turns out you were brewing up a big surprise!"

Zhou Weiguo shook his head mysteriously: "Uncle Wang, I never said I only had this one big move in mind."

This completely piqued Vice Minister Wang's curiosity.

No matter how much he pressed, Zhou Weiguo only said that it wasn't completely finished yet, and that they would talk about it when the finished product was ready.

Left with no other option, Vice Minister Wang reluctantly stopped asking questions and hurriedly ran to the logistics building to make a phone call.

Sure enough, a little over an hour later, the familiar scene played out again.

Several cars drove into the steel rolling mill one after another, and a large group of people swarmed out of the cars.

Zhou Weiguo, who had just finished eating the braised meatballs stir-fried by Zhu Zi and munching on two large steamed buns, looked at the scene before him and muttered helplessly, "Why is this happening again?"

Upon closer inspection, I saw that Minister Li, Minister Song, and even Vice Minister Jiang from the Ministry of Education had come.

Zhou Weiguo sighed inwardly, "Another day of being the 'grandson'."

He hurried forward to greet them: "Minister Li, Minister Song, Minister Jiang, what brings you three here?"

Jiang glared at Zhou Weiguo, feigning anger, and said, "You brat! You agreed you didn't have to go to school, but in the past three or four months, you haven't gone even once!"

Zhou Weiguo felt wronged, thinking to himself, "Didn't you say back then that I could go if I wanted to, and not go if I didn't? Why are you bringing up old grievances again?"

Seeing this, Li Bu smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Old Jiang, stop acting! Even if you keep acting, this motorcycle won't be allocated to your Ministry of Education."

Jiang, having his intentions exposed, no longer bothered to hide anything and laid his cards on the table: "Why not? Our Ministry of Education doesn't need production lines, we just need blueprints! With the blueprints, universities can use them as a basis to develop more advanced motorcycles, and even tractors and cars!"

Song shook his head and laughed, "You're speaking too soon. Putting aside whether Zhou Weiguo agrees or not, we haven't fully figured out the performance of this motorcycle yet. Let the testing personnel get the data first."

Three hours later, the testing personnel stood excitedly before the crowd, holding the report:

"Reporting to our leaders! We have compared this motorcycle with the Ural M72. While both have similar design philosophies, this motorcycle is more advanced. It is the first 750cc three-wheeled sidecar motorcycle in China, and the sidecar is detachable. Its 750cc air-cooled horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine, although its appearance is somewhat rough, is incredibly powerful, with a maximum horsepower approaching 32, completely surpassing the M72's 26 horsepower."
