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

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo's eyes lit up. He really had no qualms about targeting the US. "Alright, 250,000 it is. I'll talk to Nannan about it. But what about Nana if you leave? She's only six months old."

Natasha's face was instantly filled with reluctance, but it was quickly replaced by determination: "Master, I believe you will take good care of Nana for me, right? By the way, Tianzao is pregnant now, so please bring Xiao'e and the others back as soon as possible. We can't let my little Nana suffer. Although Nana has been weaned, in addition to normal complementary foods, she needs to drink spiritual spring water every day."

Seeing that she was determined to leave, Zhou Weiguo asked, "When do you plan to set off?"

Natasha wrapped her arms around Zhou Weiguo's neck with a seductive smile, her eyes full of laughter: "Of course, I can only leave in peace after feeding my master."

Three days later at noon, the sun was blazing.

Zhou Weiguo, pale-faced, drove his car straight to the steel rolling mill.

For the past three days, Natasha has been clinging to him almost every step of the way, and except for meals and bathroom breaks, she hasn't let him get out of bed.

It wasn't that his body couldn't handle it, but the fact that he spent three whole days on this matter gave him a full understanding of Natasha's fighting prowess after having given birth, and even left him with a strange "shadow" in his heart.

If it weren't for the factory calling him repeatedly since yesterday afternoon, saying that the new tank expert team was almost going crazy and that they would leave if he didn't come soon, and even Old Qin personally called to urge him, but due to Natasha's infatuation with him, and the thought of leaving soon, she could only bury her head in her mischief.

Just now, he sent a satisfied Natasha into the Red Alert space and had Salt transfer her directly overseas.

In the reception room of the East District Office of the steel rolling mill, an old man and a young man sat with grim expressions.

The young man couldn't contain himself any longer and complained under his breath, "What kind of situation is this? I've drunk ten cups of tea this morning, and they still haven't arrived. Who is this important person that makes us wait like this?"

Unexpectedly, the moment he finished speaking, the white-haired old man next to him exploded. The old man slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

"I don't care what kind of damn leader he is! He forced us to fly all the way from the Mongolian border, and we've been waiting for a whole day and night. Who's got such a big shot here? Our tank development is at a critical stage. This is just playing around and delaying the country's defense! Let's go, let's leave now. I don't have time to waste my life here! This is utter nonsense!"

Realizing he had offended the old man with his loose tongue, the young man quickly stepped forward to appease him: "Chief Engineer Zhu, please don't be angry. There must be a reason why the higher-ups arranged for us to come here. Calm down, perhaps Chief Engineer Zhou from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was delayed by a special mission."

Chief Engineer Zhu, his face full of anger, snapped, "Bullshit! Xiao Li, do you think we're just sitting around doing nothing? Our tank is in the final stages of development, and all because of some random phone call and some unknown person, you dragged us here. Do you know the significance of developing this tank? We have to finish it this year to make it for next year's parade, do you understand?"

Upon hearing the words "military parade," a flash of excitement crossed Xiao Li's face, and he quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Chief Engineer, you're right! This steel rolling mill is a complete mess. What kind of tanks can a lousy steel rolling mill build? At most, they can make some spare parts. I really don't understand, this tiny factory has a higher level of secrecy than ours. They won't even let us go for a stroll in the west district. It's truly eye-opening!"

As the two were angrily complaining, Li Huaide's secretary finally came running in excitedly: "Chief Engineer Zhu! Our Chief Engineer Zhou has arrived at the factory. Please go to Workshop 1 in the West Zone!"

Before Chief Engineer Zhu could even speak, Xiao Li launched into a tirade, glaring at the secretary with a grim expression: "We've been waiting here for a whole day and night! Your Chief Engineer Zhou is really putting on airs! He didn't even bother to come and greet us when we arrived? He clearly doesn't respect our Chief Engineer Zhu at all!"

Although Chief Engineer Zhu was furious, he didn't want to waste any more time. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go! I want to see what kind of person this Chief Engineer Zhou is!"

On the other side, Zhou Weiguo had just arrived at his office when he saw Erniu carrying tea and breakfast, walking in happily.

"Good morning, Master! Are you still eating?" Erniu asked with a smile.

Zhou Weiguo glanced at his watch; it was almost 11 o'clock, but he still picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth: "Erniu, has the tank expert arrived yet? When is he coming?"

"Master, I've already spoken to the East District factory office, they'll be here soon," Erniu replied.

As the two were talking, a commotion suddenly broke out at the workshop entrance.

"What inspection? Didn't we check it when we passed through the factory area? Are you here to cause trouble? You made us wait for Chief Engineer Zhou for a whole day and night, and now you're giving us a hard time as soon as you arrive? Don't you think that's going too far?" Xiao Li's angry voice came over.

Upon hearing this, Erniu quickly walked out. Zhou Weiguo finished his steamed buns and drank some tea, then followed him out of the office.

At the workshop entrance, Chief Engineer Zhu and Xiao Li were venting their anger on several guards, while Li Huaide's secretary stood by, sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Let them investigate!"

Chief Engineer Zhu suddenly interrupted Xiao Li, his sharp eyes sweeping across the workshop. "I want to see what treasures are hidden in this workshop, with such a high level of security!"

Zhou Weiguo scanned the two of them from a distance with his senses, and only stepped forward after confirming that there was nothing unusual.

Upon recognizing the old man, his eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward, smiling as he shook the man's hand: "It really is Chief Engineer Zhu! A pleasure to meet you! I am Zhou Weiguo, please come in!"

Chief Engineer Zhu was pulled into Zhou Weiguo's office in a daze.

After Zhou Weiguo asked him to sit down, he turned to Erniu and instructed him, "Go and pour a cup of tea for the two comrades."

After Chief Engineer Zhu sat down, his expression grew increasingly grim as he looked at the spacious and luxurious furnishings of the office. It was even larger than the conference room at the Mengbian factory. He muttered to himself: Who is this kid? Is he a relative of Chief Engineer Zhou, or his secretary?

Xiao Li, his face full of disdain, said sarcastically, "No wonder it's a factory in Beijing; even the chief engineer's office is so grand. I just wonder if this Chief Engineer Zhou from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill has the technical skills to match it."

Chief Engineer Zhu scoffed dismissively, "To engage in this kind of bureaucracy in this day and age is simply a desecration of the hard work and dedication of the old revolutionaries!"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhou Weiguo's face. The reason why this office was so big was mainly to hide the data vault behind it, which he himself felt was a bit exaggerated.

Seeing Erniu serve tea, Zhou Weiguo stood up and said solemnly, "Chief Engineer Zhu, let's get to know each other again. I am Zhou Weiguo, the chief engineer of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. I am very happy to cooperate with you."

The office fell silent instantly.

Chief Engineer Zhu and Xiao Li were stunned. It took them a while to recover and they stared at Zhou Weiguo in disbelief.

After a long pause, Chief Engineer Zhu finally spoke, his face extremely grim: "You...you said you're the chief engineer of this factory?"

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