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

Seeing the meeting room door close, Zhou Weiguo lost his temper and couldn't hold back any longer. He pressed Natasha onto the table and slapped her hard several times.

Natasha leaned on the table, turned her head, and looked at Zhou Weiguo with seductive eyes, saying in a sweet voice, "Little Weiguo, how about we have a good, satisfying battle in the conference room?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo almost collapsed.

He carefully observed Natasha's expression, trying to figure out if she was joking.

Just then, the door clicked open, and Li Huaide said with a wicked grin, "Hey bro, I forgot my laptop... Never mind, I'll come get it another day. You guys carry on. Um, you'd better close the curtains."

Just before closing the door, Li Huaide quietly gave a thumbs up.

As soon as Li Huaide left, the sound of a key locking the door could be heard. Zhou Weiguo had to admire Li Huaide's ability to accept things. But damn it, I didn't do anything! Is Natasha a devil?

Turning around to look at Natasha again, she was just lying on the table, not moving at all, only looking at her with a teasing expression, and her long legs were still swinging in the air.

Zhou Weiguo was extremely puzzled. This Natasha, apart from her appearance, had absolutely nothing to do with the cold and sexy Scarlett Johansson. The system must have cut corners. Otherwise, it couldn't be like this. To be honest, he even wanted to ask the system for a refund or exchange.

What he found most unacceptable was that, even if you're just teasing, you don't actually give him any "feeding."

Thinking of this, he didn't even want to look at it anymore, opened the door, and stormed out.

Zhou Weiguo walked back to his small office in the workshop, took out the dimensional drawings of Ural M63 parts from his storage space, returned to the workshop, threw a stack of drawings onto the table, and shouted, "Dashan, Erniu, get over here!"

The shout startled Da Shan and Er Niu, who shrank back. They glanced at Zhou Weiguo's expression, quickly turned off the machine tool, and ran over.

Looking at the two "idiots" in front of him, Zhou Weiguo was furious. He pointed to the blueprints on the table and said, "Starting today, you two will make all of these parts. The requirements are marked on the blueprints. If you don't have suitable materials, use what we have on hand." The two obediently nodded, took the blueprints, and ran off.

Zhou Weiguo was genuinely angry; he was starting to regret "stirring things up" with Natasha. This girl was completely disobedient and kept teasing him, yet she wouldn't "cool him down" when he was aroused. He also blamed himself for being too healthy; young people are indeed energetic and prone to impulsiveness.

But on second thought, it's probably for the best.

What if something really happened between him and Natasha, and relations between the two countries deteriorated in 1959? This is no joke; unless he performed an extraordinary feat, he would definitely be affected.

Even if Natasha were to acquire Xia Kingdom citizenship, it would be of no use, especially during special times when foreigners are the first to be affected.

If all else fails, why not send her to Hong Kong or the US ahead of time to form a S.H.I.E.L.D.? Or maybe create an "anti-rich alliance"? Or perhaps she should just go back to Canada?

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Weiguo shook his head helplessly. He had only known Natasha for a few days, but for some reason, he felt a strange reluctance just thinking about sending Natasha away.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Weiguo still couldn't suppress his anger.

No, this can't go on. We might end up "getting burned" one day.

If all else fails, when you're finding a wife for Zhuzi, find one for yourself too?

When Zhou Weiguo thought about finding a wife, images of Qin Huairu, Lou Xiao'e, and Qin Jingru from the drama flashed through his mind.

Of all the characters in the story, there are only three he can be interested in.

Qin Huairu is out of the question; he doesn't like "washing pots and pans."

Qin Jingru is too young; that would be illegal.

That leaves only Lou Xiao'e, but her family background is indeed a bit difficult to determine.

However, it's not a big problem for me. If I can't protect Lou Xiao'e even in 10 years given my own development speed, then I might as well "delete the account and start over".

Zhou Weiguo had no idea that while he was thinking about Lou Xiao'e, Lou Xiao'e was also thinking about him.

.................

Inside the Lou family villa, Lou Xiao'e, with her long hair, stood in front of Lou Zhenhua and pleaded, "Dad, please take me to the steel mill! You've promised for days, why haven't you taken me yet?"

Lou Zhenhua looked helpless: "Xiao'e, things aren't like they used to be. Before, the steel rolling mill was our own business, and we could go whenever we wanted. But now it belongs to the state. Although I'm the chairman in name only, I have no real power, and going there would only be an eyesore. By the way, Xiao'e, what's wrong with you lately? I've never heard you mention wanting to go to the steel rolling mill before, so why are you bringing it up every other day?"

Lou's mother chimed in, "That's right, Xiao'e. After you came back from the steel mill's event last time, you were often lost in thought, and you told your father several times that you wanted to go to the steel mill. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but think of that handsome and confident young man, and her face instantly turned red. Embarrassed, she ran back into the house.

Lou's mother looked at Lou Zhenhua with concern: "Zhenhua, what's wrong with Xiao'e? Could it be that she's fallen for someone?"

Upon seeing this, Lou Zhenhua immediately understood what had happened. He quickly recalled the young man named Zhou Weiguo—who had taken the Level 8 worker and engineer exams and passed both. Thinking of this, he immediately said, "I'll make a call and ask."

A moment later, Lou Zhenhua emerged from the study looking dejected. Seeing this, his mother assumed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Zhenhua, what's wrong? Did that young man get married?"

Lou Zhenhua shook his head, looking dejected: "People leave and the tea cools. I just didn't expect that Director Yang of the steel rolling mill would be demoted to the head of the cleaning team. I only found out now. Li Huaide? Chief Engineer Song? I wonder who has such power to bring Yang Weimin down to the ground. In my memory, Yang Weimin had the steel rolling mill firmly under his control."

Lou's mother sighed, "Zhenhua, don't think about it so much. Just give us the dividends the steel mill is owed. Let them do whatever they want, what does it have to do with us? You only said half a sentence, does Xiao'e have someone she likes?"

Lou Zhenhua glanced at his mother, sighed, and then said, "It's almost certain. Even if it's not love, it's definitely affection. That young man's name is Zhou Weiguo. What surprised me most is that he not only passed the engineer and level 8 worker exams, but he's also the head of the technical department at the steel rolling mill. He's truly a promising young man."

Lou's mother's eyes lit up: "Then let's quickly think of a way to let them get to know each other. Such an outstanding young man is a rare find these days."

Lou Zhenhua sighed again: "Easier said than done. You know our situation... Sigh, never mind, for Xiao'e's sake, I'll give it a try."
