Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

Inside the large file folder... or rather, the file bag, there was a handgun, a spare magazine, 50 rounds of ammunition, a gun license, a handwritten gun maintenance manual, and a small bottle of maintenance oil.

Lin Weidong looked at the instruction sheet: Browning M1911, seven rounds...

Lin Weidong was unfamiliar with the model of the gun, but it looked quite cool.

He loaded the bullets, then raised the gun to aim, and for a moment he felt as if he could control his own arm and hit exactly where he pointed.

After several attempts, Lin Weidong was dumbfounded. Although he had received firearms training at school, he had only fired a few bullets, not to mention that he was not this proficient when he played with homemade guns in the village.

So... a musket is also a gun? "Spear Like a Dragon" is actually a rule-based skill?

That feels good! I'm looking forward to enemy agents coming to their deaths!

Lin Weidong was delighted to have his sights set on the little dog. He raised his gun, aimed at it, and chased it around in all directions.

Before long, Lin Weidong, who had not yet met any enemy agents, was greeted by someone from the personnel department who said that the work arrangements had been made.

Lin Weidong was not surprised. He packed up, pushed his bicycle, and went out with the other person.

If it weren't for the enemy agent interfering, news about his work arrangements should have come two days ago.

Of course, it's not too late now. To be precise, the personnel department is waiting for the honor to be awarded before making arrangements, so that there will be an additional qualification in the personal file.

Upon arriving at the personnel department, Lin Weidong received his own letter of introduction for cadre appointment.

Addressee: Personnel Department, Metal Industry Bureau, Ministry of Heavy Industry

"...I am hereby introducing Comrade Lin Weidong (child of a martyr, member of the Communist Youth League, with a secondary vocational school diploma) to report for duty at your office. Please receive him and assign him work..."

……

After a quick glance, Lin Weidong was prepared, and then listened to the instructions from the personnel department cadre.

"Xiao Lin, we transferred your personal file this morning. Now take your letter of introduction and report for duty. The address is on this slip of paper."

After finishing his official speech, the other person smiled and reminded him, "Go early. Most of the leaders there come from the military. They don't like to dawdle or say polite things. Be prepared."

"Understood! I definitely won't let our department down!"

The fact that he could say that was purely a bonus due to personal friendship was something Lin Weidong understood and nodded knowingly, accepting the favor and handing out cigarettes. He then dismissed the others in the department, leaving one on the table for those who weren't there.

Everyone was too busy to exchange pleasantries. After lighting a cigarette and smiling, Lin Weidong took the file folder and left.

Upon arrival, Lin Weidong presented his letter of introduction and, guided by the guard at the entrance, found the personnel department's office area.

Although he said he was going to the personnel department, Lin Weidong actually knocked on the door of the personnel section below.

The department was small, with four long tables set up, where six staff members were all busy working.

Another person stood there with a cigarette between his fingers, looking at a stack of documents in his hand.

"Comrade Lin Weidong, welcome, welcome! Come in!" Upon hearing Lin Weidong's purpose, he smiled, put down the documents in his hand, and pulled Lin Weidong to the table at the very back.

There is a wooden chair in front of and behind this table, and the documents on the table are relatively sparsely arranged.

"Section Chief." Lin Weidong understood, addressed him, and sat down.

The other person nodded, sat down behind the table, and took out a file from the table.

"Xiaolin, I just looked at your file this morning, and it left a deep impression on me. I noticed you also have internship experience; could you tell me more about it?"

"Yes, it was a literacy education campaign organized by the government and schools, mainly in border areas, mostly in mountainous regions, to teach people to read and write..."

Originally, the original owner was a teacher training school student in the liberated area. In the past two years, he had participated in literacy campaigns many times. In other words, besides studying, they usually assisted grassroots cadres in carrying out literacy work.

Within the organization, this grassroots experience is quite important.

After the process discussion ended, the head of the personnel department nodded knowingly.

"Excellent! Xiao Lin, your work experience is quite solid. Here's the thing: in our bureau, the Private Enterprise Section is currently the most understaffed. The leadership has also instructed that new hires should be prioritized for the Private Enterprise Section. Do you have any difficulties?"

After he finished speaking, he asked Lin Weidong for his opinion in a procedural manner.

Lin Weidong had just finished saying no when he saw the other party take out the official seal from the drawer and put it down.

"Alright! Comrade Lin Weidong, welcome to the company! I'll take you to the Private Enterprises Department to report for duty and see if there's anything else to discuss. After that, come back and have Xiao Wang from our office take you to the Labor and Personnel Department to collect your personal supplies. Xiao Wang! Remember that!"

Lin Weidong noticed that his resume simply stated "Clerk of Private Enterprise Department," omitting the internship period.

He followed the head of the personnel department through several corridors to the private enterprise department office area.

The section chief's surname was Chang and his given name was Wan. He wore an old, khaki-colored military uniform, spoke in a loud voice, and had a strong military style.

After exchanging less than two sentences, Chang Wan put his arm around Lin Weidong's shoulder and called out in the department.

"Everyone, quiet down and look this way! Comrade Lin Weidong, from now on, we're on the same side!"

The crowd clapped their hands, and the introduction was considered complete.

Chang Wan then immediately assigned tasks without any formalities.

Chang Wan's comment, "As a teacher, your handwriting must be beautiful!" directly defined Lin Weidong's job.

Lin Weidong was completely numb! He had spent the entire afternoon copying documents and files!

If it weren't for the fact that his status bar showed "Above Average/Highly Valued" with the "Goodwill" rating maxed out, Lin Weidong would have thought the other person was deliberately messing with him.

As for the other nine people in the department, they were basically all "friendly".

Including Lin Weidong and Chang Wan, there are eleven people in the department, all of them men. They get along easily, each with a cigarette, and they curse each other's daily lives and then curse the bald guy.

They were all significantly influenced by Chang Wan.

Or rather, the entire Ministry of Heavy Industry, from top to bottom, had a semi-military organizational atmosphere.

As for the specific work of the department, it can be summarized in one sentence.

Supervise the current heavy industrial private enterprises in and around Beijing, urge them to stabilize production and maintain capacity, and coordinate some security work.

However, in addition to urging donations, there was another political task: to encourage donations.

After learning about it, Lin Weidong immediately thought of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in the story of the courtyard house.

It seems that the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was donated to the country by the original owner, the Lou family.

As dusk fell, Lin Weidong pondered his future path alone on his way home.

If you ask him to be a typist, he'll go crazy!

Knowing the plot well, he understood that the donation from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was a fait accompli. If he could get involved and gain some credit, he could solve the typist problem, whether through a promotion or a reassignment.

As he pondered along the way, Lin Weidong's goal gradually became clear.

The bicycle was parked in front of No. 13 Suoyi Hutong, and Lin Weidong had an extra food box in his hand.

Hu Yi opened the door, took the bicycle and food box, and Lin Weidong went straight to the backyard.

In the backyard main room, Tian Zao, hearing the commotion, ran out to greet them.

With the help of Hu Yi's wife to dress her up, Tian Zao's cotton-padded clothes fit her well, and with her hair tied up in a high bun, coupled with the continuous transformation from the beauty pills, she became much more gentle and her appearance improved even further.

Seeing Lin Weidong looking at her with a smile, Tian Zao's lips also lifted, and she lowered her eyebrows shyly, raising her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.

Seeing this, Lin Weidong's appetite was whetted. He put his arm around her waist and said, "What are you shy about? Come inside with me!"
