My girlfriend is from 1949

"Tongtong, why did you make this special trip? Go drink some water and rest."

Lin Wan took a bottle of mineral water from the back of the car, her delicate brows furrowed with heartache.

She seemed like an innocent and naive little girl who had never experienced the ways of the world.

Lu Tong, like a recent college graduate, complained about how bumpy the journey from the mountains must have been.

He even boasted and asked for credit, demanding to be treated to spicy hot pot that night!

The two girls chattered excitedly on the side.

Chen Huai'an glanced at it but didn't disturb it.

He strode quickly toward the convoy, extending his right hand from afar.

Meng Hao shook hands and said with a smile, "Director Zhou has already made arrangements, and this batch of machines has been delivered directly to you from the dilapidated factory in the mountains."

The section chief was originally going to come in person, but he had to go to Suzhou due to unforeseen circumstances.

So Lu Tong and I are in charge; we must deliver it safely!

When Zhou Liming was mentioned, his position was not concealed.

It should be that they received instructions to reveal a little information appropriately, so that the other side could know their attitude.

The fact that a department head is in charge already demonstrates the level of importance attached to this matter.

Chen Huai'an's matter stalled, and he never expected that Zhou Liming was actually a division-level cadre.

That's quite a high level!

Back when I was working for a company, someone of that level wouldn't even have the right to meet them!

Even a division-level official is conveying the message that they are not foreign spies.

Of course, this is on the premise that they have been verified as government employees.

This question can be answered once we travel back in time.

Chen Huai'an was filled with gratitude: "Thank you so much for your hard work!"

He patted his chest and said, "It's my treat tonight, Brother Meng, you must do me the honor!"

Anyway, Lin Wan has already agreed to treat us to hot pot tonight, so mentioning it casually will show her enthusiasm, right?

"Then I'll trouble Boss Chen to spend the money!" Meng Hao didn't refuse and agreed shyly.

Besides protecting her, his and Lu Tong's mission was to obtain information.

We must be mindful of our words and actions, both in daily life and in our everyday interactions.

The best thing is to become friends.

However, it takes a drink for men to become friends.

Unlike girls, who can talk about cosmetics, bags, and boyfriends like best friends after knowing each other for more than five minutes.

Now that there's an opportunity to have dinner together, I certainly won't refuse.

Meng Hao led several large trucks in and followed Lao Zhou to the designated area to unload the goods.

Looking at the rust-producing machine on the vehicle, Chen Huai'an couldn't help but think to himself: It's so convenient to have someone in charge.

If the procedure is followed, these machines should be sealed as evidence.

Once the case is completely closed, these machines will be auctioned off.

It would take at least a year or two to complete the process.

But now that we have connections, we don't even need to transport it for sealing; it's sent directly to the warehouse.

Although the machine is rusty, at least the supporting facilities are complete and it can still operate normally.

Even if it has been abandoned for a long time, it may have some minor problems.

Fortunately, it was a product of the 1970s and 80s, so engineers from the Republic of China era could repair it.

With careful inspection and maintenance, given how precious machines were in that era, they could be made to look brand new.

With the large-scale Coca-Cola production equipment and the glass bottle production line, even the corn for extracting fructose syrup was sent over.

The new China was able to produce Coca-Cola and sell it abroad to earn foreign exchange and resources!

Chen Huai'an frowned as he thought about resources.

He squinted and muttered to himself, "Even if it's difficult, we have to gather the two million tons of crude oil this time. But in future transactions, we'll have to increase the proportion of other mineral resources."

The world's current oil production is only 5.7 million tons.

This output is equivalent to the annual import volume of modern China.

It would have been impossible to obtain that quantity during the Republic of China era.

Currently, by spending money and exchanging goods, it would be good if they could exchange 0.5 billion to 1 million tons annually.

It will take several more years to reach the projected annual transshipment volume of 2 million tons.

Now that we have this oil-devouring behemoth, Future World, it can also stimulate oil-producing countries in the Republic of China to increase their production.

After all, if too much is harvested and cannot be sold, losses will occur and prices will drop.

However, with a fixed consumption level and the world in dire need of supplies and funds for post-war reconstruction, it is possible to stimulate them to increase production!

This 200 million tons figure is merely a touchstone to test each other's suspicions.

Zhou Liming would use this incident to secretly monitor and observe, in order to verify his suspicions.

Chen Huai'an was also using this batch of crude oil to verify his suspicions.

Just as she was pondering, Lin Wan walked over.

A happy smile still shone on her pretty face.

Chen Huai'an asked in confusion, "What's making you so happy?"

"Look~!" Lin Wan held a card and a small notebook in her hand, her big eyes curving into crescents.

He laughed happily, "I have an ID card now, and a household registration!"

After almost four months in the modern world, I finally have an ID card and am no longer an unregistered resident.

Walking on the main street, you no longer need to worry about doing anything illegal and being asked for your ID.

Moreover, Lu Tong was very thoughtful and even helped her get her driver's license processed at the same time.

Not only is it a B2 license plate, but there's also a photo of someone riding a motorcycle!

It seems they didn't want her to register her information at the driving school, so they did it all at once.

With the official seal of the State Security Bureau, getting a driver's license is a piece of cake.

Credits, viewing time, subjects 1, 2, 3, 4—everything was automatically approved.

I want to drive!

We want to go to the amusement park, and we also want to go to…!

Lin Wan waved her little hands excitedly, wanting to make up for everything she had been thinking about all at once.

Especially when it comes to driving, I've been drooling over it for ages.

It can't compare in terms of either driving performance or comfort.

Moreover, during the Republic of China era, roads limited driving speeds.

Unlike modern roads, which are wide and easy to drive on.

There are also amusement park attractions that look really fun on my phone, but I've never had the chance to experience them.

You need to show your ID card to enter after buying a ticket!

Even wanting to visit Suzhou, I couldn't stay in a hotel because I didn't have an ID card.

If you don't want to sleep in your car, you'll have to go home.

Now that I have an ID card, everything is fine!

Lin Wan smiled happily and said, "Tongtong said that there's a chip in the ID card, and my information is recorded in it. It's not a fake ID; it's real!"

Although the fake ID card looks very realistic, it cannot be read.

Because it has no magnetism, even if you want to lie, you can't because it's been demagnetized.

The second-generation ID card has indeed left many criminals with nowhere to hide.

However, this ID card was specially issued by the National Security Bureau.

Not only is the processing speed fast, but the ID cards are also incredibly authentic.

They are worlds apart from those who make fake certificates.

Seeing her happy expression, Chen Huai'an also smiled.

I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret; these were problems I couldn't solve even after racking my brains.

It was accomplished easily by having government officials intervene.

In order to resolve the issue of his identity, he even considered the possibility that he had been abducted as a child, escaped from the mountains, and couldn't remember where his home was because he was too young when he was abducted.

However, after weighing the options, I felt it couldn't withstand close scrutiny, so I gave up on it.

If the local police go to the mountains where the alleged traffickers were supposedly located to investigate, wouldn't they be exposed?

There was nothing wrong at first, but it attracted attention instead.

Thankfully, it's finally resolved!

Chen Huai'an smiled broadly as he noticed a notebook in the little girl's hand.

He couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

Instantly, Lin Wan's smile froze, and a blush rose on her pretty face.
