Courtyard Houses: From Families of Martyrs and Orphans to Giants of the Times

Military region guesthouse.

late at night.

Lin Jian'an sat at his desk, with a thick stack of documents in front of him.

The review is over.

The communications project has also officially passed the military's acceptance test.

Logically speaking, one should take a few days to rest at this time.

But he knew better than anyone else.

The real show has only just begun.

The success of the military communications project is only the first step for me to enter the military industry.

There is also the construction of military production lines.

Hongxing Machinery Factory Upgrade.

Talent recruitment.

Far East Trade Investigation.

Everything is more important than before.

Especially the new tasks that the system has just released.

Destroy the core network of Far East trade.

The danger level has reached Level S.

This is the first time the system has given such a high danger rating.

Thinking about this...

Lin Jian'an opened the system map.

next second.

A red dot of light appeared.

Its location is clearly in Shanghai.

at the same time.

Another blue dot appeared on the map.

Gu Changfeng

Age: 34

Precision Mechanical Design Expert

[Technical Level: 96]

Loyalty: Not recruited

[Status: On the verge of leaving the company]

Recruitment success rate: 38%

Looking at this set of data...

Lin Jian'an's eyes lit up.

Level 96!

This is already the most outstanding group of talents discovered so far.

He is even better than many experts in research institutes.

Moreover, it's in the field of precision machinery.

To know.

What is the biggest shortage in the mass production of communication systems?

It refers to precision machining.

If Gu Changfeng were brought into the Red Star system.

The development speed of Hongxing Machinery Factory has increased by at least one level.

Just then.

There was a knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

"Enter."

Zhao Changhe pushed open the door and walked in.

Upon entering, I saw the table covered with documents.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Others know to rest after just finishing a battle."

"You little rascal."

"The project just ended and they're already researching new things."

Lin Jian'an stood up with a smile.

"Can't stay idle."

Zhao Changhe waved his hand.

"Alright."

I knew you couldn't stay still.

talking.

He took a document out of his briefcase.

put it on the table.

"Take a look."

Lin Jian'an opened the file.

His gaze quickly sharpened.

Authorization Letter for Investigation in Shanghai

Below is the official seal of the military region's security department.

Zhao Changhe said:

"Zhou Jianye's situation is becoming increasingly complicated."

"Some new clues have been discovered in Shanghai."

"in addition."

"Far East trade has been very active recently."

"The higher-ups have decided to send someone over to investigate."

Lin Jian'an raised his head.

"Let me go?"

Zhao Changhe smiled.

"Wasn't this what you were planning all along?"

The two exchanged a glance.

They both laughed.

Some things don't need to be said outright.

Gu Changfeng is in Shanghai.

Zhou Jianye is in Shanghai.

Far East trade leads are also in Shanghai.

No matter which angle you look at it from.

We absolutely have to go on this trip.

Zhao Changhe's smile vanished.

His tone became serious.

"However, I must remind you."

"This time is different from before."

"The Far East trade has been able to exist for so many years."

"It's definitely not that simple."

"Don't be careless."

Lin Jian'an nodded earnestly.

"clear."

Zhao Changhe patted him on the shoulder.

"We're leaving tomorrow."

"The special train has been arranged."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The door closed again.

Lin Jian'an looked down at the system panel.

A slow smile crept onto his lips.

Shanghai Stock Exchange.

I'm finally going.

......

Early the next morning.

TRAIN STATION.

The military train slowly started moving.

Besides Lin Jian'an, there was no one else in the carriage.

There were also several security personnel.

And the military officers responsible for liaison.

Heading south.

Heading towards Shanghai.

Through the car window.

The passing fields and villages were breathtaking.

Lin Jian'an, meanwhile, leaned back in his seat and organized the documents.

Gu Changfeng.

Zhou Jianye.

Far East trade.

Three names kept intertwining in my mind.

Just then.

A system voice suddenly sounded.

【Ding! 】

[Talent Intelligence Update]

Gu Changfeng's current condition has deteriorated.

[Resignation progress: 85%]

Risk of being ostracized: High

[It is recommended to make contact as soon as possible]

Lin Jian'an raised an eyebrow.

It seems the situation is more serious than we thought.

If we were a step later...

Talented people might leave.

Thinking about this...

He placed Gu Changfeng's information directly on top.

I plan to resolve this matter as soon as I arrive in Shanghai.

......

Two days later.

Shanghai Railway Station.

With a long blast of the steam whistle.

The train slowly came to a stop.

Lin Jian'an stepped out of the carriage.

The bustling scene that greets you is a sight to behold.

Wide streets.

A constant stream of people.

Tall Western-style buildings.

Even in this day and age.

Shanghai remains one of the most prosperous cities in the country.

"Comrade Lin!"

Someone was waving in the distance.

A middle-aged cadre ran over quickly.

"I am Chen Haifeng from the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Industry."

"In charge of reception work."

The two shook hands briefly.

They then got into the jeep.

Heading towards the city center.

On the road.

Chen Haifeng explained the situation while driving.

"Comrade Gu Changfeng is currently working at the Shanghai Precision Machinery Factory."

"However, things haven't been going well lately."

Lin Jian'an asked:

"What happened?"

Chen Haifeng sighed.

"The debate over technological approaches."

"The factory is preparing to import foreign equipment."

"Gu Changfeng insists on independent research and development."

"The situation between the two sides has become very tense."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Jian'an immediately understood.

This kind of thing happens all the time.

Many people believe that foreign countries are more advanced.

Buying directly is the easiest way.

And Gu Changfeng is a technical type.

They tend to prefer doing their own research and development.

The two sides have completely conflicting ideologies.

It's easy for them to have conflicts.

Chen Haifeng continued:

"I heard he has already submitted his resignation."

"It should be approved in the next few days."

Lin Jian'an's heart skipped a beat.

really.

Consistent with the system prompt.

It seems we must meet immediately.

......

in the afternoon.

Shanghai Precision Machinery Factory.

The factory area is very large.

Everywhere you look, there are machines roaring and running.

Chen Haifeng led Lin Jian'an into the office building.

We just got to the second floor.

Then I heard arguing coming from the direction of the conference room.

"I disagree!"

An angry voice rang out.

"We must control the core equipment ourselves!"

"Relying entirely on imports will inevitably lead to problems sooner or later!"

Followed by.

Another cold voice came from behind.

"Gu Changfeng".

"You're too idealistic."

"Foreign technology is more than a decade ahead of ours."

"Why not just buy it and use it right away?"

Why waste time?

boom!

It sounds like someone slammed their hand on the table.

next second.

The conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

A man in his thirties came out.

His face was ashen.

He was also holding a document in his hand.

It was a resignation letter.

The system immediately popped up a notification.

[Target Discovery]

Gu Changfeng

[Technical Level: 96]

Current emotion: Anger

[Recruitment probability increased to 55%]

Lin Jian'an's lips curled up slightly.

The main character has arrived.

Gu Changfeng had obviously seen them as well.

He frowned slightly.

"Who are you?"

Chen Haifeng was just about to make his introduction.

Lin Jian'an has already taken the initiative to extend his hand.

"Lin Jian'an".

"The person in charge of Hongxing Machinery Factory."

Gu Changfeng was stunned for a moment.

Then the pupils suddenly contracted.

"Lin Jian'an?"

In recent months.

This name is quite well-known in the industrial system.

Key figure in military communications projects.

They solved a series of technical problems.

Many people in the industry have heard of it.

Gu Changfeng was clearly no exception.

"You were looking for me?"

Lin Jian'an smiled and said:

"Shall we chat?"

Gu Changfeng remained silent for a few seconds.

Finally, he nodded.

"Can."

......

Half an hour later.

A small teahouse outside the factory area.

The two sat down facing each other.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries.

Lin Jian'an got straight to the point.

"Engineer Gu."

"Are you interested in working in a different place?"

Gu Changfeng almost choked on his tea.

Good guy.

Poaching someone after less than ten minutes of meeting?

That's way too direct.

But instead, he laughed.

"You certainly don't beat around the bush."

Lin Jian'an shrugged.

"Time is precious."

I like to be straightforward.

Gu Changfeng couldn't help but nod.

This is something that really suits my taste.

Then he asked:

"Why are you looking for me?"

Lin Jian'an said calmly:

"Because you're worth it."

"In the field of precision mechanical design."

"You are among the top people in the country."

"And what I lack is precisely someone like you."

As soon as those words were spoken...

Gu Changfeng was clearly taken aback.

these years.

Many of the factory's leaders thought he was too stubborn.

Too idealistic.

This is the first time someone has affirmed his value so highly.

In a short time.

I was actually quite moved.

But the next second.

Lin Jian'an added another sentence.

"and."

"The next ten years."

"Precision machinery will become the core of industrial development."

"I am prepared to build my own industrial system."

"Would you like to work together?"

boom!

Gu Changfeng suddenly raised his head.

His eyes changed.

Industrial system?

This is not something an ordinary machine factory would dare to say.

But I don't know why.

Looking at the young man in front of me.

He felt a strange sense of conviction.

Just as the two were talking.

Outside the teahouse.

A black sedan slowly came to a stop.

inside the car.

A man wearing a top hat lowered his binoculars.

His gaze was icy.

"Target confirmed."

"Lin Jian'an has arrived."

The person next to him asked in a low voice:

"Do we need to take action?"

The man shook his head.

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Let's take a look first."

"Project Falcon has just begun."

"Don't rush."

Done.

He looked towards the teahouse again.

His eyes were like those of a venomous snake.

Meanwhile.

The system alarm suddenly sounded.

【warn! 】

[Far East Trade Member Detected]

[Distance from host: 120 meters]

[Danger Level: A]

Project Falcon officially launched

I saw the notification.

Lin Jian'an paused slightly in his teacup-holding motion.

His eyes instantly turned cold.

coming.

These guys.

It was faster than I expected.
