Zhou Weiguo's eyes darted back and forth between Nannan, Yuki-onna, and Tamamo-no-Mae with a strange look in them, and a strange thought flashed through his mind.

Just then, Nannan suddenly turned to Tamamo-no-Mae and the other two, her expression instantly becoming serious, and she softly hummed in agreement.

In an instant, Yuki-onna and Tamamo-no-Mae seemed to be targeted by some terrifying being. Their legs went weak, and they knelt down with a thud, their foreheads hitting their hands heavily. Then, with trembling voices and faces full of reverence, they said in unison, "Little Tamamo-no-Mae and Little Yuki-onna greet our master!"

"Holy crap?" Zhou Weiguo was completely stunned by this sudden turn of events, his head buzzing. He stared intently at Nannan, his voice trembling slightly, "Nannan, what happened? What did you do to them?"

The little girl replied innocently, "Brother, I'm really not like anything! I was just playing with them, and that's how they got like this."

Zhou Weiguo was nearly driven to despair. Looking at the innocent girl before him, and then glancing at the two trembling figures on the ground, he asked with a mixture of helplessness and accusation, "Nannan, tell me honestly, where did you learn this way of 'playing'?"

Nannan tilted her head and recalled earnestly, "It seems like I learned it from the system brother, oh no, I learned it from the system brother's movies."

The man in the movie was amazing; all he had to do was say, "Madam, you don't want to..." and the woman would instantly become incredibly obedient. Don't worry, brother, I'll train them both to obey you without question the moment they hear the words "You don't want to either!"

Zhou Weiguo was struck dumb, and after a long while, he sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead and cursing in his heart: "What kind of nonsense did this damn system show my daughter!" Unfortunately, no matter how much he complained, the system did not respond.

Zhou Weiguo had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being, and muttered helplessly, "Never mind, let's take care of business first. Nannan, I'm leaving the two of them to you. You need to help your brother find out the identities of Tamamo-no-Mae and Yuki-onna, what their plans are in Xia Kingdom, and also the details of the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons).

Upon hearing this, Nannan said with a mature air, "Brother, don't worry! Leave everything to Nannan, I'll definitely figure them out."

Zhou Weiguo rubbed his temples helplessly and continued, "By the way, Nannan, could you help me find some things from the last set of information that the steel mill can currently research and produce?"

Upon hearing this, Nannan immediately perked up and said excitedly, "Okay, brother! Wait for me a moment!"

After saying that, she turned and rushed into the base's main control room, muttering to herself, "Brother, the first one is non-ferrous metals! This is definitely suitable for you, like electrolytic aluminum and alloy steel. You can have Sister Natasha lead the research. And household appliances too, Xia Country definitely needs them. As long as there's production capacity, we can definitely sell them..."

Twenty minutes later, looking at the mountain of documents piled on the floor, Zhou Weiguo looked at Nannan with a helpless expression: "Nannan, you've done way too much!"

The little girl explained with a wronged look, "Brother, you're talking about the kind that's currently being developed by the steel mill. They've only printed a very small portion of it."

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now, we'll talk about the rest later. My ten workshops can't do too much in one period of time." After saying that, Zhou Weiguo disappeared into the space.

As soon as I stepped out of the space, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Erniu and Dashan were standing at the door, Erniu holding a teacup in his hand.

With a smile, Zhou Weiguo instructed, "You two go and call Zhang Heng and Liu Jing over. Remember to bring them notebooks and pens."

A moment later, the four men gathered in the office. Zhou Weiguo lit a cigarette, casually tossed the pack on the table, then took out paper and pen and placed them aside. With a serious expression, he said, "Today I'm going to give you an explanation of the short-term development and plans for these ten workshops. Write them down carefully."

Zhang Heng and Liu Jing replied in unison, "Yes, Master (Chief Engineer Zhou)!"

"Let me explain first. From now on, the steel rolling mill will be divided into a west zone and an east zone. The west zone will be entirely under our management, while the east zone will remain under the original steel rolling mill's control. Departments such as the factory office will be transferred to the east zone. In short, after this adjustment, the entire west zone must be staffed by our own people. Ordinary employees from the east zone are strictly prohibited from entering the west zone at will, and management personnel must also have special passes to come here. We will clean up and prepare to put into use the old four workshops, plus the ones in the row behind our workshop at the back of the steel rolling mill, a total of ten workshops. I am now redistributing and reordering them, from west to east, workshops numbered 0-9."

Zhang Heng, take note. Workshop 0 is specifically responsible for the research tasks I independently assign, and you will be in charge of its management. No personnel are needed when there are no tasks; for temporary tasks, elite personnel will be drawn from other workshops.

Workshop 1 is my private workshop. No one else is allowed inside except my assistant and a few of you. Move any excess equipment to other workshops; just leave me one of each type. Plan a closed office area and rest area within the workshop, and get a large, custom-made safe to store the blueprints. Other workshops can also have smaller safes for your convenience. Oh, and my rest area needs a bed. Natasha is pregnant, so she can rest here when she's tired at lunchtime. That's about it.

Workshops 2 and 3 are to be handed over to Natasha. You can ask her for the specific plans. Let her lead these two workshops to research various materials science formulas, such as aluminum alloys, special steels, synthetic rubber, electronic materials, industrial ceramics, polymer materials, as well as petrochemical products such as synthetic fibers and plastics, and chemical fiber products such as nylon and polyester.

Workshop No. 4 studies various machine tools and auxiliary equipment.

Workshop No. 5 is researching chemical fertilizers. Xiao Rizi's ammonia synthesis technology is quite good, and this must be developed as soon as possible.

Workshop No. 6 studies transistors and various electronic products.

Workshop No. 7 is dedicated to researching optical instruments and measuring equipment.

Workshops 8 and 9, closest to the East Zone, will serve as machine tool workshops for fitters and lathe operators, specializing in manufacturing spare parts for each workshop. That's the preliminary plan for now; you can work on the details later. Is everything clear?

Dashan and Erniu looked blank and silently shook their heads.

Zhou Weiguo glanced at the two of them, waved his hand helplessly, and said nothing more.

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "Master, I've written it all down. However, the equipment, personnel, and technology needed for the subsequent workshop are all big problems."

Zhou Weiguo said confidently, "Technology is not a problem. I have a complete plan and design drawings, which I will give to you. Just follow the drawings to make it. The specific order will be arranged according to Natasha's material development progress. As for equipment, I will give you the technical plan first, and then you can discuss it with Lao Li and submit the application. As for personnel, you can ask our own people first. If someone is willing to lead the team, I will apply for a group of college students to come over."

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
