Start with a blacksmith shop.

Chapter 98 Arrived home, then left again!

And so, the press conference was held in this tense atmosphere.

At 2 PM the next day, led by Yan Hang, he went to the press conference venue.

The location was easy to find; we didn't look for a hotel, but simply vacated a workshop.

Two aircraft, already equipped with engines and ready to take off at any time, were placed behind the podium.

It was impossible for any of the reporters present to avoid seeing the plane unless they got close-ups of individuals. Even with all the close-ups, some parts of the plane could not be avoided from being visible in the frame.

Yan Hang pulled him to the podium and sat him down in a chair with his name on it.

Then the old man sat down next to him, and the leaders from Hongdu followed one after another into the factory.

Right across from Li Zhenhua, a large number of reporters sat below. This press conference was clearly not on the same level as those held by their company.

Once everyone had arrived, the cameras in the hands of numerous reporters never stopped clicking, while the video cameras in the hands of the photographers on the sidelines faithfully recorded everything.

This was Hongdu Factory's home turf, and Gu Changkong's secretary hosted the press conference.

State-owned factories are completely different from private ones. Just from this speech alone, state-owned factories are far superior to private ones.

Although Hong Du has become very pragmatic since the leadership change, at this moment, he doesn't seem to have changed much.

After the senior leader finished speaking, the junior leaders took turns, and the speeches alone lasted for an hour.

If these leaders were to write novels, the word count would definitely satisfy the reading desires of fans who are eagerly awaiting more updates.

The preceding irrelevant content almost hypnotized him.

Just before he was about to fall asleep, Gu Changkong, who was next to him, finally spoke.

"Welcome to all the journalists. On behalf of Hongdu Factory, I extend my warmest greetings to you all."

I'm sure everyone's been waiting impatiently, so let's get right into the topic.

The main purpose of this press conference is to sign a contract with our partners regarding the purchase of engines.

The young, talented man sitting next to me is the engine designer.

After they finished speaking, the reporters focused their cameras on the two of them, some shooting wide shots, others focusing on a single person.

When one of the reporters focused his camera on Li Zhenhua, he suddenly remembered who this young man was.

This is the young man who went viral online a while ago for his hand-operated motorcycle.

The reporter immediately thought of a sensational headline similar to those used by UC (a popular Chinese media outlet).

While he was thinking, Li Zhenhua and Gu Changkong had already taken the contract and signed their names.

Afterwards, the emcee exchanged their contracts.

The purchase contract was signed just like that, it was signed so simply.

After receiving the contract, he began to dream of getting rich.

Although he is now rich, who would complain about having too much money?

After receiving the contract, there was nothing more for him to do, but Gu Changkong said...

"Distinguished journalists, this press conference is now adjourned, but please don't rush off."

"Since you've come all this way, let me let you experience the specialties of our Hongdu factory."

What special products could Hongdu Factory possibly have? Airplanes, of course!

The arrangements were made, and many reporters were also very interested in the airplane.

I wanted to take some photos on the plane in front of us after the platform was removed.

The press conference ended as soon as the reporters were free to move around.

This was also the first time he had ever seen a press conference without a Q&A session with reporters.

Seeing that there wasn't much else to do, he found Yan Hang and told him he was leaving.

When Yan Hang heard that the other person was leaving, he did not try to stop them.

He was already leaving; staying was just to wait for the contract to be signed.

Now that the contract is signed and he's no longer involved, Yan Hang makes him another unreasonable request.

"Zhenhua, after our plane is completed, we're going to show it off at the Canada International Airshow."

Therefore, to ensure everything goes smoothly, I would like to ask you to help me ensure its success.

After Yan Hang finished speaking, he immediately accepted the invitation.

Yan Hang said that many countries' fighter jets attend the air show in Canada.

He was tempted by the opportunity to touch an airplane and readily agreed.

"Hmph, watch how I pluck you all bald!"

After finishing their business, Yan Hang had someone drive him to the airport, and he left with the contract.

Both contracts only had his signature, but no official seal from his company, while the seal from Hongdu was already affixed.

I arrived at the airport at the same time as last time—the same time, the same flight, and the same plane.

Why? Because he vividly remembers the flight attendant who took special care of him on the plane.

After boarding the plane, he fell asleep immediately. This time, he really did fall asleep and didn't go into the lab to play flying games.

While he was flying in the sky, news from Kyushu showed him signing a contract with Hongdu Factory.

Liu Xiaodong, who was in charge of the company's internal affairs, had always been very concerned about the movements of Kyushu's leadership, trying to see if there were any policy changes.

Therefore, Kyushu News had become a program he watched every day. When he saw Li Zhenhua, his face was blank and shocked.

Then he called Li Yun, but when the two of them called him together, the phone was switched off.

When he returned to the blacksmith's shop, it was about the same time he had returned home last time.

The last time he came back, Li Yun was sleeping soundly and wasn't woken up by him.

But this time was different; the longer he was away, the longer he hadn't tasted meat.

What's more, just now on the plane, the flight attendant's tight skirt had seduced me like that...

He became excited when he saw Li Yun lying on the bed.

He quickly tidied himself up, climbed into bed, and the two started playing cards while Li Yun was half asleep.

The two woke up in each other's arms the next day. Early in the morning, after Li Yun had regained consciousness...

She reached for Li Zhenhua's ear, grabbed it, and twisted it several times before she felt relieved.

"What's wrong with you? You didn't even tell me you were coming back, and now you're treating me like this."

They actually went in while I was sleeping! I thought I was dreaming.

"And why are you on Kyushu News again?"

He rubbed his ears, apologizing to Li Yun as he did so.

"Alright, alright, next time I'll definitely go in when you're sober, I promise I won't let you dream about it!"

Kyushu News? When did I get on Kyushu News again?!

He was a little puzzled, as he didn't recall having any connection with Kyushu TV recently!

Just as he was wondering, Li Yun found the footage of him on Kyushu News on her phone.

After seeing the news, he realized that the root of the problem was actually at the Hongdu factory.

Having just returned from a business trip, he didn't go to the office but chose to rest at home for a day.

Of course, Li Yun couldn't stay home with him; she had many things to take care of at the company.

When Li Yun left, she also took the contract, which only bore the official seal of Hongdu Company, with her to the company.

He also took a USB drive with him, which contained patent-related materials from his time in Hongdu.

After Li Yun left, he entered the virtual laboratory once again.

He's really committed to this game now; he refuses to believe he can't learn how to fly a plane.

What does it mean to be tormented a thousand times, yet still treat it like your first love? That's exactly his current state.

One must die a hundred times for the meaning to become clear.

Practice makes perfect, and he is now fully capable of piloting this aircraft that has not yet been released to the market.

After arriving at the company, Li Yun handed the contract to Liu Xiaodong and also assigned him the task of sending the contract back to Hongdu Factory.

Liu Xiaodong also got the details from Li Yun about the news and the contract from last night.

After leaving Liu Xiaodong's side, Li Yun went to the legal department, handed over the USB drive, and asked them to handle the patent matter as soon as possible.

The aero-engine orders that Li Zhenhua brought back did not have much impact on them.

Life went on as usual, and Li Zhenhua, after returning, didn't continue his idle lifestyle.

He selected several bright and eager-to-learn workers from the workshop and transferred them to his small workshop.

In his mind, the aircraft's performance was outstanding and it was absolutely competitive in the international market.

He didn't know how many more orders would come in, so he decided to start early and work hard.

We are starting now to cultivate talent capable of producing aero engines in the future.

While at the company, he taught people how to make the engines he had developed.

At home, Li Yun, who already knew what it tasted like, tried every day to find ways to make juice.

Time slowly passed until July, and Li Zhenhua was inspecting an engine in the workshop.

This 1.2L engine never passed through his hands; it was all made by the workers he trained.

Just then, his phone rang, and a woman's voice came through the receiver.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Li Zhenhua?"

"I am!"

"This is customer service from the knife forging competition organizing committee. I'm calling today mainly to inform you..."

The sword forging competition is about to begin soon.

Please refer to the official invitation sent to you by the organizing committee for the specific time and location.

He hung up the phone after saying that. After answering this call, I realized there was such a competition.

He had long since put the competition out of his mind, and he was also thinking...

He doesn't seem to lack money, so what reason would he have to participate? A competition hosted by the United States?

After that, he stopped paying attention to the matter and continued with the same routine as before.

Just a few days into July, he received a call from Yan Hang.

"Zhenhua, I have good news for you. We have obtained the FAA airworthiness certificate, and we plan to depart for Canada in four days."

The flight route has been chosen; it will first fly to Tsarist Russia.

Then, from Tsarist Russia, they flew across the Bering Strait and landed at the Canada Air Show.

Furthermore, we've already chosen our landing locations and refueling spots along the way.

After saying this, Yan Hang paused slightly on the phone, giving him a chance to think.

After pausing for more than ten seconds, Yan Hang asked him again.

"Do you want to take an international flight to Canada, or go with the planes we're flying on for the airshow?"
