Zhou Weiguo turned and headed straight for Kitchen No. 2. As soon as he entered, he saw Ersheng and Dasheng leading people to make steamed buns.

Er Sheng, with his sharp eyes, spotted Zhou Weiguo and immediately greeted him with a beaming smile: "Uncle Weiguo, are you here for dinner?"

Zhou Weiguo shook his head and asked, "Where's your father? I need to talk to him about something."

"Oh, Uncle Weiguo, come with me! Father! Father! Uncle Weiguo has come to see you!" Ersheng said as he quickly led the way.

The two walked to the door of the small office next to the warehouse, just as the door opened. Wu Yousheng, his face cold and his tone unfriendly, scolded, "Ersheng! Didn't I tell you, you have to use your title at work! This isn't a restaurant, how come you can't remember?"

Upon hearing this, Er Sheng hurriedly corrected himself: "Um... I forgot, Dad... uh... Group Leader Wu."

Wu Yousheng raised his hand as if to hit him, but Zhou Weiguo quickly smiled and smoothed things over: "Alright, alright, Ersheng, you go ahead and do your work. I need to talk to your father about serious matters." After saying that, he pulled Wu Yousheng into the office.

Wu Yousheng was somewhat embarrassed and explained, "Brother Weiguo, please excuse my embarrassment. I've gotten used to working in restaurants all these years."

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand: "Brother Wu, there's no need to be so serious. We're all family here in the second canteen, no need to be so strict. I've come to see you today because I have something important to discuss. Zhu Zi's girlfriend invited me to her house; it seems they're getting engaged. I thought since you're Zhu Zi's mentor, I wanted to invite you along so we can finalize this good thing together."

Wu Yousheng immediately beamed with joy: "Great! Zhu Zi, you've finally got some good news! No problem, brother, you set the time, and I'll prepare the gifts in the next couple of days."

Zhou Weiguo continued, "Zhu Zi told me last night that the woman had brought this up before, but he didn't say anything because he was afraid I'd be too busy. I'm worried she'll think we're not taking it seriously. If it's convenient for you, brother, let's go as soon as possible. I'll have Zhu Zi go and ask her when she's free."

Wu Yousheng patted his chest confidently: "Definitely no problem! Zhu Zi's marriage is the most important thing in his life, and that must be the top priority!"

Zhou Weiguo nodded, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "There's one more thing. I got my marriage certificate yesterday. I'd like to ask you to cook for me on a day off."

Wu Yousheng's eyes widened: "Wow, my brother, you're amazing! You really took down the 'Golden Lion King'?"

Zhou Weiguo quickly waved his hand: "Brother Wu, don't talk nonsense! You've misunderstood. Natasha and I have a purely platonic relationship. My wife's name is Tian Zao."

Wu Yousheng stood there stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. With a strange expression, he said, "No problem! Brother, leave it to me! You tell me the time and the number of tables, and I'll get it all sorted out perfectly!"

Zhou Weiguo said, "Okay! My wife said this weekend is an auspicious day. You don't need to worry about the ingredients; just write a menu for Zhuzi, and I'll prepare everything. We'll have it in my yard, and we'll need your help, Dasheng, and Ersheng."

"What are you saying! This isn't how our relationship should be!"

After leaving the canteen, Zhou Weiguo slapped his forehead and turned back to the logistics building, heading straight for Li Huaide's office.

He knocked on the door, and a voice inside said, "Come in." Zhou Weiguo pushed the door open and went in.

Upon seeing him, Li Huaide stood up happily: "Weiguo! What brings you here to visit your brother today? Please, have a seat!"

Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, "Brother Li, enough of that. I came to tell you something. I got my marriage certificate yesterday. We're having a party this weekend, you have to come and have a couple of drinks!"

Li Huaide was taken aback at first, then clapped his hands and laughed, "Great news! Brother, you've kept this a secret! You've finally won over Comrade Natasha!"

Zhou Weiguo shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself: Did I really make it that obvious? He quickly explained, "Brother Li, you've misunderstood! My wife's name is Tian Zao, and Natasha is my god-sister. Don't spread rumors!"

Li Huaide's hand, which was offering a cigarette, froze in mid-air, his face filled with disbelief: "No, brother, this change of heart is too fast! Would Comrade Natasha really agree? She's..."

Seeing Li Huaide hesitate, Zhou Weiguo quickly said, "Brother, don't worry, this has nothing to do with Natasha and won't affect the factory's research progress."

Li Huaide nodded with a hint of doubt, his eyes gleaming strangely: "Alright, alright, as long as it doesn't interfere! It's the weekend, right? Don't worry, I'll definitely be there! If you haven't gone to Wang Jianguo's place yet, don't worry about it. He'll come to see me later, and I'll tell him on the way."

After leaving Li Huaide's office, Zhou Weiguo found Zhu Zi and asked him to go to Yu Li's house immediately to discuss a visit time. He also mentioned that he was hosting a banquet on the weekend before returning to the workshop.

As soon as Zhou Weiguo arrived at the workshop entrance, he heard cheers coming from inside. He went in and saw a crowd gathered around. Someone recognized him and excitedly rushed forward—it was engineer Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng beamed, "Master! It's done! The tractor is done!"

Hearing the word "master" made Zhou Weiguo angry.

It's unclear when exactly, but Zhang Heng and his group of college students started addressing him as "Director Zhou" to "Master Zhou," and eventually simply as "Master," all of which they did with perfect naturalness.

Zhou Weiguo rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

Only then did everyone realize that Zhou Weiguo had arrived, and they dispersed.

Zhou Weiguo was overjoyed. He looked through the passage cleared by the crowd and saw a retro-styled, bright red convertible tractor parked in the center of the workshop.

He looked at Zhang Heng: "Have you tried it?"

Zhang Heng shook his head: "Not yet."

"Then what are we waiting for? Quickly add engine oil and fuel, and give it a try!"

Then everyone got to work. After about half an hour, the tractor was debugged.

Zhou Weiguo wanted to test drive it himself, but Zhang Heng, citing the safety concerns of the new machine, took the initiative to approach the tractor and vigorously cranked the handle.

With a hissing sound, black smoke billowed from the engine exhaust pipe, and the tractor slowly started under Zhang Heng's somewhat clumsy operation.

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted in the small square outside the workshop.

Zhou Weiguo looked at Zhang Heng in the driver's seat and thought to himself: You say it's safe, but look how excited you are.

He turned and went into his office, locked the door, and with the help of the system "Nannan," took out detailed blueprints of the Mengshi EQ2050 stripped-down version and the CA30A heavy-duty truck from his spatial storage and piled them on the floor.

Thinking of Zhang Heng's delighted expression just now, Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but wonder: what kind of expression will this kid have when he sees these blueprints?

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Zhou Weiguo opened it to find Dashan and Erniu looking excited: "Master! The tractor is finished! Everyone's taking turns test driving it, would you like to try?"

Zhou Weiguo shook his head: "No need. By the way, come to my house this weekend to help out with my wedding banquet."

Erniu exclaimed excitedly, "Master! You and Natasha got married? That's wonderful! I'll bring my fellow disciples to make a ruckus at their wedding!"

Zhou Weiguo raised his hand and slapped Erniu across the face. Too lazy to explain, he simply said, "Don't talk nonsense in the workshop. My house can't fit so many people."

Da Shan hesitated for a moment: "Master, the brothers in our workshop are practically your apprentices. Isn't it inappropriate to not tell them about your wedding?"
