In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

Looking at the noisy phone, Tang Wenlou lost his previous confidence.

The fact that they called again so soon suggests that the news shouldn't be favorable to Li Yuan.

They just finished demolition; they couldn't possibly have completed some other task, could they?

Answer the phone and put it on speakerphone.

Xia Zhan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up.

The call was answered, and it was the same person who had just been asking for information.

"What is it? Just say it."

Tang Wenlou was getting a little anxious and couldn't stand him keeping him in suspense.

"Commander, we just received news that Li Yuan has successfully installed a machine..."

The moment he uttered that one short sentence, the surroundings fell silent.

The experts they hired failed, but this martial artist who taught at a middle school succeeded all the way.

Tang Wenlou was momentarily stunned.

After so many years in the industry, when has he ever felt such regret?

If he hadn't arbitrarily changed the mission ratings, none of this would have happened.

Looking back, he just wanted to save some resources.

He allocated all these resources to the tasks that his son could take on.

The warriors on Tang Wenlou's side rarely take on tasks related to coordinating machines.

At the time, I was relaxed and didn't think about making a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, his foolish arrangement drove them all to a dead end.

They have to spend more resources to hire experts and also find ways to bribe them privately.

I tried all sorts of methods, but in the end, I still failed.

Right now, it's purely about paving the way for Deputy Commander Zhou.

Remain calm in the face of danger, and accept the mission in a time of crisis.

These words will later become the evaluation criteria used by Deputy Commander Zhou.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will most likely take over as the commander-in-chief of the Lanying City Command Center.

Tang Wenlou hung up the phone in silence.

I'm in a really bad mood, I'm angry, but I don't know who to vent my anger on.

At this moment, it was Xia Zhan, the commander-in-chief, who stepped forward again.

"Don't be too discouraged, there are a lot of machines to solve this time."

Removing one or two machines will not completely solve the crisis.

The machines on the production line are all different; it's unlikely he can solve them all.

Xia Zhan's analysis continued to inspire everyone present.

However, compared to before, everyone was clearly more pessimistic.

Those encouraging words were still ringing in my ears when they were slapped in the face in just a few tens of minutes.

How can others believe him when he says such things now?

Wugang City, factory area.

After dealing with the ferocious beast, Li Yuan continued with the task of installing the machine.

Installing the machine on a martial artist actually has some obvious benefits.

It requires strength, the lifting equipment needed, or even the ability to lift it by hand.

The entire installation process will be much easier and more relaxed.

The difficulty in installation lies not in moving or relocating the equipment, but in debugging and adjusting it.

Complex processes, precise control.

Adding to the time constraints, each step must be followed by the next step quickly.

These are the real challenges.

But this huge problem was actually quite easy for Li Yuan.

With skillful operation, another machine was successfully installed.

Through a series of operations, Li Yuan actually completed a production line.

Deputy Commander Zhou, who had just arrived, witnessed everything.

He thought it was a difficult problem to handle, or even one that might be impossible to handle.

That's how it was resolved, laid out before them.

Once a production line is completed, we can take a break.

It was getting dark anyway, so we could go back and come back another time.

Deputy Commander Zhou also made this arrangement.

At this moment, he did not want Li Yuan to take any risks.

He wanted Li Yuan to be safe and sound, without any problems.

Once a production line is fully operational, he, as the deputy commander, can report it to his superiors.

By reporting, they can first secure some of the credit.

For those companies, the completion of a production line also gave them confidence.

Advise them not to act rashly; that should be enough.

Hearing what Deputy Commander Zhou said, Li Yuan didn't argue and followed him back.

These tasks are indeed not suitable to be completed too quickly.

Even if you have the ability, you should suppress it and restrain yourself.

Keep in mind that the mission will ultimately promise an S-grade nutrient solution.

Completing it too quickly can give many people the feeling that it's too easy.

This feeling might cause you trouble.

Let's delay and let people see how difficult it is.

Later, when I received the reward, there weren't as many objections.

Around 9 p.m., the group returned to Lanying City.

Deputy Commander Zhou treated everyone to a late-night snack.

This is a reward for everyone's hard work along the way, and a sign that everyone is firmly on his side.

Logically speaking, he, as the deputy commander, has always been in a weak position.

On the command side, the control of power is far less than that on Tang Wenlou's side.

Starting today, the rain will stop and the sun will shine.

All the fatigue and frustration you suffered before will be transformed into rewards.

"I have already written the first draft of the report that you are in charge of submitting."

If you make some more changes, it should be able to be submitted.

It's best to report this quickly. If Tang Wenlou and his group shamelessly claim credit, you'll be in trouble explaining yourself again.

Upon hearing his subordinate's words, Deputy Commander Zhou nodded repeatedly.

"I'll call and report as soon as I get back."

"While you're at it, let's also talk to the higher-ups about the current situation, so they can see what's become of it."

Amidst the polite exchanges, Xia Zhao arrived.

Under everyone's gaze, she walked straight over and sat down next to Li Yuan.

It looks very casual.

But the people around them felt that something was wrong.

Xia Zhao is like a fairy; how could she come to have a late-night snack?

Her temperament was somewhat out of place with her surroundings.

After sitting down, Xia Zhao joined in the conversation.

However, her words emphasized Li Yuan's importance and how many contributions he had made.

No one objected to what she said.

After all, the restart of that production line was entirely thanks to Li Yuan.

What surprised everyone was that Xia Zhao praised Li Yuan too much.

Deputy Commander Zhou, who was standing to the side, had known Xia Zhao before and had some contact with her.

He also felt something was off.

After a moment of hesitation, Deputy Commander Zhou, with a slight smile, teased, "To be honest, I've misunderstood Miss Xia Zhao's praise of Li Yuan."

For a moment, I really felt that Miss Xia Zhao had taken a liking to Li Yuan.

Hearing this, Xia Zhao smiled and nodded.

"With such ability and without being arrogant, isn't it normal for her to be interested?"

Xia Zhao's tone suggested he was joking.

But in all these years, who else has been spoken to like this by Xia Zhao in jest?

With her status, even a joke about her is outrageous.

Deputy Commander Zhou, who was standing to the side, chuckled and smiled along.

Despite his laughter, he already sensed that something was very wrong.

Xia Zhao's words seemed somewhat serious...

Deputy Commander Zhou was well aware of Xia Zhao's identity.

If Li Yuan had such thoughts, he would think it was perfectly normal.

Who wouldn't want to curry favor with the Xia family? Besides, Xia Zhao is beautiful and a martial arts prodigy.

But now, it seems that Xia Zhao is taking the initiative.

Is this Mr. Li Yuan really that capable, worthy of Xia Zhao?
