Genius is just the threshold for me!

Crack—

Thirty minutes later.

Lin Dong opened the door and came out of the study, where two figures, like guardian deities, came into view.

"..."

Lin Dong paused, then said speechlessly, "Dad, Godfather, what are you doing?"

"Waiting for you to come out."

Wang Xingguo couldn't help but ask, "What did you talk about with the leader in those thirty minutes?"

"It's nothing."

Lin Dong calmly replied, "They mainly asked about my living conditions, my studies, and my views on industry and industrial reform."

"What are your thoughts on industrial reform?" Wang Xingguo immediately grasped the key point.

"Yeah, we just chatted for a bit."

Lin Dong nodded: "I won't go into details, you wouldn't understand anyway."

"And what about the other questions? How did you answer them?" Lin Weiliang continued the questioning.

"Just answer the rest truthfully."

Lin Dong shrugged: "Eat well, drink well, sleep well, and feel free to share your opinions. I also passed my final exams."

"Is that all you're going to say?" Lin Weiliang's eyes widened.

"Then what am I supposed to say? Lie and say I got first place in the grade?"

Lin Dong was speechless. After speaking, he seemed to remember something and said to Lin Weiliang, "Oh, right, I also asked about your and my mother's health. I asked you to wish them a Happy New Year in advance."

"real?"

Lin Weiliang was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting to receive this treatment.

"real!"

Lin Dong rolled his eyes: "Dad, cheer up, be more ambitious."

You are now an expert in BeiDou networking, interception systems and image recognition, artificial intelligence and large-scale models, laser weapons and communications, swarm drones and combat robotic dogs, and the leading developer of the military's intelligent collaborative combat system...

If you go there for a meeting, as long as the leader isn't out, they'll make time to personally receive you.

"..."

Lin Weiliang rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Others don't know what's going on with his expert titles, but even the leaders don't know.

Although these expert titles represent his genuine talent and knowledge, he has only achieved practical skills.

He's gotten used to showing off to people who don't know him, but he still can't quite pull it off in front of those who do.

"Alright, stop blocking the door and asking questions."

At this moment, Su Ruohua came out carrying a plate of dishes and called out to Lin Dong and the other two, "You didn't eat much at noon, come and serve the dishes quickly, the New Year's Eve dinner is ready."

"Let's eat, Xiao Dong, bring over the wine and drinks."

"Your godmother doesn't drink alcohol, so you all have soft drinks. Your dad and I will have a couple of glasses." Hearing this, Wang Xingguo stopped asking questions and quickly went over to help serve the dishes.

Lin Dong opened the liquor cabinet, glanced at it, and took out a bottle of twenty-year-old Maotai. Then he took out a bottle of coconut juice and a bottle of cola. Zhang Xiali and Su Ruohua drank the coconut juice, and he drank the cola himself.

Lin Dong opened the wine.

Wang Xingguo and Su Ruohua prepared the food in advance, while Zhang Xiali and Lin Weiliang took over the cooking. The New Year's Eve dinner, which the two families had been busy preparing for most of the day, was now served, and it consisted entirely of traditional Sichuan dishes.

Braised pork with pickled mustard greens, glutinous rice braised pork belly, cold chicken salad with chili oil, fish cooked with Pixian chili bean paste, sausages and cured pork sent from my hometown, as well as a soup with daylily, wood ear mushrooms and crispy pork, twice-cooked pork, braised assorted vegetables, shredded pork with fish-fragrant sauce, and finally a pot of cured pork soup with greens.

"Come on, everyone, let's have a clinking of glasses."

Wang Xingguo helped set out the dishes, distributed bowls and chopsticks to everyone, and raised his glass to say, "Wishing everyone a peaceful and healthy New Year."

"May everything go well for you," Su Ruohua said with a smile, picking up her drink.

"May everything go smoothly," Zhang Xiali added, picking up her drink.

"May you have abundance every year," Lin Weiliang replied, picking up a twenty-year-old thatch.

"good luck."

Lin Dong picked up his glass of cola, clinked it with everyone's, and then drank it down in one gulp, smiling as he said, "Dad, Godfather, I'll drink this."

"You little brat, you're telling me to drink this Coke in one gulp, huh?" Wang Xingguo glared at him, but didn't back down, finishing his drink in the glass.

"By the way, Brother Wang."

Lin Weiliang ignored his unfilial son Lin Dong, slowly drank half a glass of wine, and suddenly thought of something, asking Wang Xingguo, "How was the electronic warfare equipment for the J-16D resolved? Did the electronics department have any objections?"

"That's how it was resolved."

Wang Xingguo picked up the bottle and filled his and Lin Weiliang's glasses, then put the bottle aside and calmly said, "This time, they asked us to do it ourselves, not that we wanted to."

"Is Chief Engineer Chen really that easy to talk to?"

Lin Weiliang said with some disbelief.

Lin Dong was working on a piece of fish when he heard this and looked over.

Compared to China Ordnance Industry Group, which Lin Weiliang had to face, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) was a behemoth in the military industry.

After all, China Ordnance Industry Group mainly serves the army, and its business volume and scope are very narrow.

For China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC), whether it's the Army, Air Force, Navy, or Rocket Force, any military-related electronic equipment and components require CETC's support.

Although the national military industry is a unified whole, CETC has always cooperated with the needs of various units and has always strictly followed strategic priorities in its arrangements.

But now Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group is vying for business, and it's impossible for China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) not to have any feelings about this.

"Don't listen to his nonsense."

Su Ruohua was asking Zhang Xiali for cooking tips when she heard this and turned around and said, "He went to the power company on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month to ask about equipment problems, but he didn't get a satisfactory answer."

After that, I went to Chief Engineer Chen's house every day to chat and drink tea, talking about this and that, and I did this for several days.

Until yesterday, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, seeing that he seemed to be coming over even for the New Year, Chief Engineer Chen couldn't hold back any longer and said, "If Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group is really in such a hurry, then they should do it themselves." Upon hearing this, he ran back...

"That's what he said, not what I said."

Wang Xingguo took a sip of wine, picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, and said calmly, "I saw that Old Chen's children were busy until New Year's Eve before they came home, and his wife was taking care of their grandson at his son's place, chatting with him for four days."

I got back yesterday, and as soon as my flight landed, this guy called. We argued and cursed at each other, but the matter was settled.

"My godfather always has a way."

After listening, Lin Dong gave a thumbs up and said with great affirmation and encouragement, "It seems that if Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group has any projects in the future, we can just go ahead and do them directly. We won't have to be held back by China Electronics Technology Group Corporation anymore."

ga-

Will you come again in the future?

Wang Xingguo's previously calm expression suddenly froze.

"Hahaha."

Lin Weiliang's shoulders twitched, and this time he finally couldn't help but laugh.

Su Ruohua and Zhang Xiali smiled when they saw this and continued their own conversation, ignoring what the others were saying.

Around 7 p.m., the two families slowly finished their New Year's Eve dinner.

Lin Dong did not participate in cleaning up the dishes after the meal, but instead rummaged through the cupboard and opened two packets of sunflower seeds.

Before they had even had a few drinks, Xu Ziming called Wang Xingguo and brought Zhou Xiaoyan and Xu Qingling over.

"Uncle Wang, Happy New Year's Eve!"

Xu Qingling walked in first and called out to Wang Xingguo, who opened the door.

After changing her shoes, she came in and called out to Lin Weiliang, Zhang Xiali, and Su Ruohua in turn. Then she quickly ran to Lin Dong and said happily, "I'm here."

Lin Dong looked up at the girl standing in front of him.

Her waist-length hair, which she had kept for several years, fell naturally down her back. She wore a girlish winter sweater, paired with a knee-length pleated skirt and fleece-lined leggings underneath. She looked youthful, fashionable, and energetic.

Lin Dong carefully admired the gift, and finally looked into Xu Qingling's bright eyes, smiling as he said, "You're late, so I'll take the red envelope."

"You're lying. Dad just called. You just finished eating, and the red envelopes haven't been sent yet."

Xu Qingling sat down beside him, picked up some sunflower seeds, peeled two, and handed one to Lin Dong, asking curiously, "What time does the security department set off the fireworks? Isn't it going to start anytime soon?"

"7:30, that's about it."

Lin Dong took the melon seeds and said, "We have to wait until it's completely dark. It won't look good if it's not dark yet, and it's a waste of money to go too early..."
