Name: My father is Zhao Dehan, and I hope he will become a dragon!

In the corridor on the third floor of the provincial party committee office building, the afternoon sun slanted across the terrazzo floor, casting two elongated shadows.

After finishing an internal meeting, Sha Ruijingang bumped into Zhao Dehan.

The two paused slightly.

"Comrade Dehan!"

Sha Ruijin's tone was calm, with a hint of amusement: "Recently... there have been some rumors circulating outside, haven't you heard?"

Zhao Dehan nodded, his expression calm: "I heard. They said you don't think highly of the Nanhu project, believing it's risky and has low returns, and even said that 'land in Guangming District won't sell for ten years.'"

Sha Ruijin lowered his voice: "I haven't said a single word."

Zhao Dehan spoke very frankly: "I believe you!"

Sha Ruijin really wouldn't do something so unethical.

Sha Ruijin sighed, saying helplessly, "But now, the more we explain, the more it seems like we're trying to cover something up!"

He paused, looking directly at Zhao Dehan: "Once the Nanhu Industrial Park is successfully established, it will be of tremendous help to both Jingzhou City and Handong Province. I cannot say such a thing. What about the economic development of Handong Province? What about my responsibility to the people of Handong?"

Zhao Dehan nodded again: "I understand!"

Sha Ruijin sighed and continued, "It's inconvenient for me to make a public statement right now—I'm afraid that if I do, it will only confirm the 'discord between the Party Secretary and the Vice Governor' narrative. You... understand, right?"

Zhao Dehan smiled slightly, his tone resolute: "Secretary Sha, rest assured. Rumors stop with the wise, and even more so with the facts."

Sha Ruijin looked at Zhao Dehan with some satisfaction, then smiled and said, "It's best that you think this way. You still need to keep an eye on things in Nanhu. I believe that as long as the Nanhu construction site keeps operating, the workers will have food to eat, and the company will have orders—those rumors will naturally dissipate."

Zhao Dehan smiled and said, "You're right!"

Sha Ruijin may not be the one spreading rumors behind the scenes; he wouldn't do something so despicable.

Moreover, Sha Ruijin, an official parachuted in, couldn't hide his rumors from people.

However, Sha Ruijin still had ideas to leverage this momentum and give Zhao Dehan a boost.

He can't just stand by and watch Zhao Dehan run his own troupe right under my nose.

The future of Handong Province will be under my, Sha Ruijin's, absolute control.

It's good to let Zhao Dehan bear some pressure right now.

This matter.

Subsequently

Provincial Government Governor's Office.

Liu Guoquan was reading documents when he saw Zhao Dehan come in. He put down the documents and pointed to the coffee table: "Sit down."

Zhao Dehan sat down, and Governor Liu personally came over to pour him tea: "I heard there's been another bout of wind in Jingzhou?"

Now, Governor Liu considers Zhao Dehan one of his own.

Zhao Dehan sat down and took the teacup: "Yes. They say Secretary Sha doesn't support Nanhu, that I'm using my son's money to pave the way for myself, and that nobody dares to buy land in Guangming District..."

"Is the technique familiar?" A sharp glint flashed in Liu Guoquan's eyes.

"It's all too familiar."

Zhao Dehan sneered, "Last time you said I forced the Shanshui Group to pay 'protection money,' and now you're doing the same thing again. Gao Yuliang's tactics have been the same for ten years—spreading rumors, observing, and waiting for the opponent to fall into disarray."

Liu Guoquan chuckled softly and slowly sipped his tea: "The art of winning hearts and minds, Gao Yuliang's old tricks!"

"It's always the same trick!" Zhao Dehan shook his head.

Liu Guoquan smiled and said, "You don't need many methods, just effective ones. He knows you're new here and your position isn't stable; he also knows Sha Ruijin needs to consider the bigger picture and won't easily break ties. At the same time, he's also trying to give you a warning!"

At this point, Liu Guoquan looked up at Zhao Dehan and asked, "So what do you plan to do?"

Zhao Dehan said, "Let's wait and see. Facts speak louder than words. Once we have enough workers and our products, I think all the problems can be solved. Ordinary people don't care what anyone says; they only care who can give them a job."

At this point, Zhao Dehan paused slightly, then continued, "Look, now that the Nanhu Industrial Park is built, cement and steel are being used, creating countless jobs. Gao Yuliang keeps playing these tricks, but they don't work because the facts are things he can't change!"

Liu Guoquan's eyes showed even greater approval: "Aren't you afraid Sha Ruijin will hold a grudge?"

Zhao Dehan stood up, his gaze firm: "Governor Liu, I came to Handong not to curry favor with anyone. I came to serve the 110 million people of Handong."

As he continued speaking, Zhao Dehan seemed to radiate an almost mystical holy light, and his voice became increasingly sacred: "As long as one acre of land in the Bright District can be sold, one penny of wages can be earned by the workers of Dafeng Factory, and one light can be lit in Nanhu—I, Zhao Dehan, will have a clear conscience."

Liu Guoquan stared at him for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Good! What a fine 'clear conscience'!"

He paused, then continued, "Gao Yuliang plays with people's hearts, you play with the hearts of the people—he's destined to lose this game!"

……

……

The night was as dark as ink on the east side of the Nanhu Industrial Zone.

Zhao Chongming stood on a piece of newly leveled yellow earth, the evening breeze brushing against the hem of his clothes.

In the distance, the colorful flags for the groundbreaking ceremony had not yet been taken down, and the outline of the tower crane stood silently in the moonlight.

He took a deep breath and silently chanted, "System, use the [Super Factory Construction Order]."

【Ding! 】

The "Super Factory Construction Order" has been activated.

[Site selection confirmed: Plot B-07 (300 mu) in Nanhu Industrial Park.]

【under construction……】

There was no roar, no dust, no construction crew, not even a ray of light.

There was only a barely perceptible tremor in the air, as if the space itself had taken a gentle breath.

The next second—

A modern science and technology park stands out from nowhere.

The main building, a silver-gray structure, extends in a streamlined shape, its glass curtain wall reflecting the cool moonlight.

Inside the SMT assembly workshop, dozens of fully automated production lines are neatly arranged, with robotic arms waiting for instructions.

The shielded door of the EMC electromagnetic compatibility laboratory was tightly closed, and the instruments inside were flashing a pale blue indicator light.

On the top floor of the R&D center, at the NovaOS development team's workstations, three servers had quietly started up, and the code was automatically compiling in the background...

The entire factory is powered, networked, temperature-controlled, and equipped with security systems, as if it had been operating for many years.

Zhao Chongming was very satisfied.

Arriving at my CEO's office, I felt a refreshing coolness.

A slight smile played on his lips.

This is not just a factory,

This is the anvil that crushes rumors.

It was the cornerstone that propelled his father's career.

It is also a clarion call to announce the arrival of Chinese intelligent manufacturing to the world.

Most importantly, no one would find it strange that this factory was successfully built.

For example, how could it be built overnight? Or how could so much equipment be installed overnight? Everyone would take it for granted, everyone would think it's a normal thing.
