Love in the Courtyard: Starting with Engineers

Zheng Qiushi recalled what his father, Zheng Qianshan, had told him before.

"Do you know how many people have been reminding me these past few days? Besides the Ministry of Industry, there are also people from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the military!"

Zheng Qiushi now felt a sense of frustration, unable to get rid of Li Yu despite his dislike for him.

The rolling mill was finally delivered in the following days. Although some penalties were deducted, the order still brought a large amount of foreign exchange to China.

As we move into mid-April, the temperature in Beijing is gradually getting warmer.

Liu Haizhong's eldest son, Liu Guangqi, eventually left Beijing with his wife and her family after getting married.

This time, however, they didn't take anything from the house.

Liu Haizhong drank heavily all day that day, never expecting that his three sons would end up with no one to care for them in their old age.

Aunt Erda watched Liu Haizhong sitting alone drinking, and she herself shed tears.

She didn't know why she was so unlucky. Now she not only had to live as a widow, but even her sons had run away.

I feel that I am not even as good as Jia Zhangshi. Now Jia Zhangshi is associating with a little old man who came from who-knows-where.

She would occasionally bring him back to the courtyard house to show off, saying that he was from the south on a business trip and that she would go back to live with him in the south after the trip was over.

Although everyone sensed something was off about this person, no one alerted Jia Zhangshi.

Everyone was eager for Jia Zhangshi to leave the courtyard house.

In late April, Minister Liu, along with a group of leaders from the Ministry of Industry, stood in front of a white, square cabin in the research workshop.

Through the transparent outer shell of the cabin, you can see the spindle inside, which is suspended by a multi-jointed robotic arm and contains cutting tools.

A group of factory workers, both grade eight and grade seven, surrounded the large machine in front of them, examining it closely.

"Did we really create this?"

"I never expected it to be such a huge thing when assembled!"

Minister Liu approached the control panel and, looking at Li Yu who was inputting various commands, asked, "Can we begin?"

After pressing the last button, Li Yu said, "It's done."

Looking at the workers and technicians below, their eyes brimming with anticipation, Li Yu said:

"Next, you will see the world's most sophisticated machine tool at work, which represents our machining technology that far surpasses that of the rest of the world."

After saying that, Li Yu pressed the start button.

As the machine operates.

All the onlookers could see was the robotic arm smoothly cutting the workpiece with its blades.

As the blade sliced ​​through the air, metal shavings flew everywhere.

In just half an hour, a national emblem the size of a palm appeared at the processing center.

As the machine stopped, Li Yu took out the national emblem made of aluminum.

When it was handed to Minister Liu, he stared blankly at the smooth national emblem in his hand.

He muttered to himself, "Unbelievable! Unbelievable! This can actually be made in just half an hour."

A technician standing nearby, looking at the national emblem in the minister's hand with a face full of shock, exclaimed, "The precision is incredible! It just came off the machine!"

Just when everyone was shocked and excited.

The jealousy and madness in the eyes of Lu Zhun, the young technician who had been arguing with Li Yu, flashed by in an instant.

The machine tool couldn't stay at the steel rolling mill; it was taken away that afternoon by a group of heavily armed soldiers.

Not only that, they also took away two technicians who knew how to operate the equipment.

The workers in the R&D workshop looked at the empty space where the machine tools used to be and felt like they were in a dream.

In fact, Li Yu made two sets of all the parts during this period.

Two weeks ago, he received news that the new factory was almost ready, and he could move over as soon as the machine tools here were finished.

Li Yu plans to assemble the new machine tool after moving there.

That afternoon, the national emblem that is now displayed at the steel rolling mill appeared on the great man's desk.

Looking at the national emblem in his hand, he let out a "hahaha" laugh.

"Excellent! He truly is a pillar of the nation!"

"With young people like these, what do we have to fear from Western powers!"

In the afternoon, as soon as Li Yu arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill, he saw Li Huaide's car parked on the side of the road.

Once in the car, Li Huaide looked at Li Yu and asked, "What brings you here today to treat me to dinner?"

"Isn't this just a celebration for the machine tool industry being phased out?"

"Alright! You'll have to have a few drinks with me today."

At Donglaishun, Li Huaide, who had drunk two cups, raised his wine cup to Li Yu and said:

"Brother Li, tell me something from the bottom of your heart."

"What scale do you plan to develop the new factory into?"

After wiping his mouth, Li Yu said, "To be honest, I don't know either, but what I can tell you is that it will exceed your imagination."

After listening to Li Yu's explanation, Li Huaide swallowed hard, made up his mind, and said, "Since that's the case, then from now on, brother, I'll work for you!"

After saying that, Li Huaide picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Yu also raised his wine glass and said to Li Huaide, "It is my honor that Brother Li has come to help me."

"I'm treating you to dinner today not only to celebrate, but also to talk to you about the new factory."

"As you know, the new factory will definitely be short-staffed. In addition to the current R&D workshop staff, I plan to select some reliable managers to take with us."

"I hope Brother Li can give me a list to look at later."

Li Huaide, slightly drunk, said, "It's a small problem, leave it to me, brother. I'll personally deliver it to your office tomorrow."

"Alright! I won't say anymore, it's all in the wine." After saying that, Li Yu picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Li Huaide's.

"It's all...it's all in the wine."

After eating for a while, Li Yu saw that Li Huaide was already drunk, so he helped Li Huaide into the carriage.

After watching Li Huaide's driver drive away, Li Yu went back to pay the fare and walked all the way back to the courtyard house.

Back home, seeing Li Yu reeking of alcohol, Bai Ling smiled and said, "Oh~ Master Li is back?"

Li Yu looked at Bai Ling, who was smiling, and the food on the table that had gone cold.

He could clearly sense Bai Ling's "killing intent".

"Hehehe, I talked to Li Huaide about something today."

"Come on, let me heat up the food."

As he spoke, Li Yu was about to serve the dishes.

Bai Ling grabbed Li Yu's ear.

"Hiss~"

Li Yu covered his ears and begged for mercy, "I was wrong~ I was wrong~"

"Where did you go wrong!" Bai Ling grabbed Li Yu's ear and asked.

Suddenly, Li Yu picked up Bai Ling and threw her onto the bed. He leaned down and looked at Bai Ling, saying in a low voice, "I shouldn't have left my wife alone in this empty room."

Bai Ling blushed instantly, pushed Li Yu away, and said shyly, "Remember to let me know next time you're not coming back for dinner!"

Li Yu held Bai Ling in his arms.

"Okay, okay"

After a while, Li Yu heated up the food and then ate with Bai Ling.

Li Yu put down his bowl and said with a satisfied look, "My wife's cooking is still the best."

Bai Ling rolled her eyes at Li Yu and said, "You're always talking nonsense."
