Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Lin Zhe hasn't been back for so long, and it's rare for the whole family to get together like this, so we're bound to have a few drinks.

Old Lin and his group naturally drank baijiu, specifically the kind called "Hutu Jiu" (meaning "muddled liquor").

Even though the family has plenty of liquor now, Old Lin has gotten used to drinking to excess.

If the alcohol content isn't high, it won't cause as much harm, and you won't have a headache the next day.

Lin Zhe's uncle did a good job in this regard.

After improving the technology, we have removed as many fusel oils as possible from the wine, making it much more pleasant to drink.

As for the women in the family, they mostly drink red wine.

Old Lin poured a glass and was about to hand it to Yan Xi, but Lin Zhe stopped him.

"Dad, Xiaoxi can't drink alcohol."

Faced with Lao Lin's questioning gaze, Lin Zhe took this opportunity to speak.

"Since our family is all here today, I have something to tell you. Xiaoxi is pregnant."

After these words were spoken, the previously bustling restaurant suddenly fell silent, and then instantly became even more lively again.

"Good, good! This is a good thing. Xiao Zhe, I will have no regrets if you can let your grandma hold her great-grandchild before she dies."

"That's good news. Xiao Zhe, your second aunt will help you take care of the child later."

The relatives chattered amongst themselves.

Old Lin and his mother remained silent, but their eyes betrayed their excitement.

In the blink of an eye, they'll be grandparents themselves.

This kid, no matter how much his parents urged him the past two years, it was no use.

Just like dating and marriage, their advice was useless. Now they mainly just say "yes" verbally, but their actual actions are not affected at all.

He will only make a final decision when he meets someone he feels is right.

After two years of urging, the couple couldn't persuade him anymore, but then this kid suddenly brought Yanxi to the old couple.

Good guy.

Yan Xi's conditions are so good that anyone would be satisfied with them.

Even now, when the couple had just gotten married, their parents would still talk to Lin Zhe about it from time to time.

Having a child or something.

They're also eager to have a grandson.

But this kid has lived like this for several years.

Now the elderly couple has become indifferent to the idea of ​​having a grandson; they know that it can't be rushed.

If they want to have a child someday, then let nature take its course.

And now, this good news has come out.

……

I took a deep breath to calm myself down.

Old Lin raised his glass and said "good" three times.

Then he continued speaking.

"That's perfect. We can't be careless about this. You'd better take good care of Xiaoxi. She can't touch any alcohol at all."

As he spoke, Lao Lin asked about the dishes on the table.

They were afraid that some dish might have alcohol in it.

After all, many dishes can be cooked with some wine.

To outsiders, it might seem like making a mountain out of a molehill, but as someone who's about to become a grandfather, he can't afford to be careless.

Only after the inspection was completed did he pick up his wine glass.

"Come on, let's have a toast to my soon-to-be-born grandson or granddaughter."

Seeing how much her family cared for her and her child, Yanxi smiled.

Pick up your juice and raise a glass with the others.

……

On the other side, inside the Binhai Headquarters Building, a department is having its sign hung up.

This is a newly established internal department of Zhetong Company.

Data Architecture Analysis Department.

Many other super-companies have similar departments, but they are called by different names.

This was established at Lin Zhe's behest.

They were given a place in the headquarters building right after they were established, and there were quite a few employees. However, there weren't many workstations.

Most of the employees in this department are busy working or traveling.

Their job was to provide Lin Zhe with requirements and then fulfill them.

This time, Lin Zhe mainly needed to obtain data on what Zhe Tong had been doing over the years.

Specific data is needed to support this.

How much has Zhetong's green and environmentally friendly power generation system actually done for environmental protection? How much has it reduced emissions? And how many places has it provided electricity to?

Some of this data is available, and some is not.

If there isn't one, then this department needs to investigate and obtain a true figure.

Lin Zhe needs this number.

Thus, this department with several hundred people was established.

Third-party data collection agencies are also doing this.

They will collaborate with the company's data department to cross-collect data and ensure its accuracy.

These people were all sent out when the department had just been established and they hadn't even gotten to know their colleagues yet.

That's how their department is.

Most employees take turns working on-site while traveling for business.

Therefore, the workstations are shared; when someone is away on a business trip, the workstation will be offered to other staff.

Their department has several hundred employees, but there are only about fifty workstations.

There are only twenty or thirty people in the office now; the others have gone to various parts of the world to collect and verify data.

……

In South Africa, Jetun's armed vehicles, which are power supply vehicles carrying armed security personnel, drove into the jungle with data personnel.

In the border region, Zhetong's car climbed uphill all the way up the mountain.

Staff members carried oxygen cylinders to villages at altitudes of over 4,000 meters, even approaching 5,000 meters, to verify the information.

Meanwhile, the dozens of people in the office were working intensively to check and summarize data from various sources.

……

A few months later, the head of the data department came to Lin Zhe's office.

Today is Lin Zhe's "workday," and there are quite a few people queuing outside his office; they are all senior executives from various departments of Zhetong.

Finally, Zhang Yuliang came to him.

"Manager Liu, General Manager Lin requests your presence."

Upon hearing this, he nodded quickly and then went inside with the materials.

As soon as he entered, Lin Zhe reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Manager Liu, have you and your colleagues in the data architecture and analysis department really been working hard these past few days? You've been traveling all over the world, and your overtime work is among the highest in the entire group."

"Mr. Lin, this is what we should do. It's no trouble at all."

"Yes, once this is done, I'll arrange for your department to have a few days off. You've worked really hard and deserve a rest."

After saying all that, Lin Zhe began to care about the outcome.

After obtaining permission, Manager Liu arranged for several large boxes of paper data materials to be carried into Lin Zhe's office.

This is after the data has been compiled.

If it's the original data, their department has two whole rooms full of them stored in the warehouse.

There is also an electronic version.

Lin Zhe nodded as he looked at the data.

The cross-comparison with third parties is indeed quite accurate.

Zhetong's achievements over the years have indeed been gratifying.

These data points were like report cards, and Lin Zhe was very satisfied with them.

That's why I asked them to bring over the paper version.

The digital version doesn't feel quite right.

It has to be a paper version; that's the only way to really enjoy flipping through it.

It's only when you look at it like this that you feel a sense of accomplishment; these are all testaments to the achievements that I and Zhetong have made over the years.

Nothing is more convincing than these solid, hard data points.

Lin Zhe squatted in his office, flipping through the papers, noting how many villages had been electrified and how much carbon emissions had been reduced. (End of Chapter)
