Genius is just the threshold for me!

Lin Dong's family home in the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's residential compound.

As midnight approached, Wang Xingguo, Xu Ziming, Chen Jianhua, and Lin Weiliang were playing mahjong while chatting about the Red Ghost bomber's test flight and combat exercises.

But suddenly.

Xu Ziming's phone, which was lying next to him, pinged. Xu Qingling's aunt had sent him a message and four or five photos.

[Xu Zijin]: Brother, look at this, isn't it Lingling?

Lingling?

Xu Ziming was stunned for a moment, picked up his phone and opened it, then froze.

[99,999 drones forming a heart shape—who is Luo Min?]

[On New Year's Eve at the Chengdu Science and Technology Museum in 2016, the suspected heir of Xingdong Company made an appearance!]

These photos include screenshots of online news headlines, pictures of drones forming a torrent of sparks soaring into the sky, and drone arrays forming a heart shape with New Year's greetings.

Of course, what Xu Ziming was even more concerned about was...

One of the photos shows Hsu Ching-ling holding Lin Tung's hand, standing on the observation deck at the top of the exhibition hall, kissing him while standing on tiptoe.

"Mr. Xu, it's your turn to draw a tile." Lin Weiliang urged Xu Ziming when he saw him stop.

"It's 2016, no need to work overtime on New Year's Day."

Xu Ziming suddenly stood up, picked out a bottle of wine from the liquor cabinet, and said, "Brother Lin, let's have a couple of drinks to celebrate."

???

When Lin Weiliang saw Xu Ziming suddenly make this move, he subconsciously looked at the phone that Xu Ziming had just been looking at. When he saw the photo on it, his eyebrows twitched.

This kid... he's ruining his father's life.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing this, Wang Xingguo took Xu Ziming's phone, looked at it, and immediately laughed, saying, "Drink, Weiliang, you've got to drink this time! Drink big!"

"Boss, will there be any problems with Xiao Dong appearing in the news like this?" Chen Jianhua asked from the side after seeing the screenshot of the trending topic.

"Won't."

Wang Xingguo shook his head: "Xiao Dong's biggest protection is that he hasn't been exposed. He's playing the game of hiding in the dark... At this time, the more he tries to cover up, the more suspicious the enemy will become, and the higher the risk of being exposed will be."

"Now, thanks to Wang Rui, I've found myself a spy daughter-in-law as an excuse. When I go out, I only need some security arrangements; there are no other restrictions."

"Stop talking."

Xu Ziming poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of Wang Xingguo first: "Drink up, this kid has been spoiled rotten by you all. Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine drones, he really doesn't value money..."

"You're still not happy about spending money to surprise your daughter?"

As Wang Xingguo spoke, he placed the wine in front of Chen Jianhua and waved his hand, saying, "The doctor said I have high blood pressure and can't drink... Old Chen, go ahead, you have to have a drinking contest with him."

"Coward."

Xu Ziming made a sarcastic remark about Wang Xingguo, but he didn't pressure Lin Weiliang either. He poured himself a glass and drank it with Chen Jianhua.

"The test flight of the Red Ghost bomber is going smoothly, and I have already made contact with the military."

Wang Xingguo pressed the shuffle button on the mahjong machine, grabbed a mahjong tile, casually tossed it into the hole, and looked at Xu Ziming and Chen Jianhua, saying...

"When the time comes, Ziming and Lao Chen, you two go with the flight test department and also call Engineer Xia. I can't travel right now, so I'll stay at the base to command remotely."

"You'll stay and command remotely?"

Xu Ziming raised an eyebrow: "You're staying at the base as an accomplice, aren't you?"

""

"Then I'll take a vacation, and you stay?"

Wang Xingguo retorted, "So, you want Xiao Dong to give orders while using your voice?"

The live-fire exercise was not only a drill, but also a process of debugging and optimization, which could only be handled by Chief Engineer Lin Dong.

"roll!"

Xu Ziming cursed in annoyance.

It's bad enough that Wang Xingguo became that kid's henchman, but to make him become that kid's henchman as well, letting that kid use his voice to give commands, does he even want to hold his head up anymore...?

"Young Master Lin! Young Master Lin!"

At 12:30 a.m., after watching the New Year's Eve activities at the exhibition hall, Lin Dong and Xu Qingling were about to go back when they suddenly heard a shout from the side.

Ok?

Several security guards from Xingdong Company immediately stood between Lin Dong and his companion and the source of the voice. Two of them even reached for their waists and looked at the person who was shouting.

"headmaster……"

Lin Dong stopped, looked at Xiao Wang who had come alone, then glanced at the team members waiting in the distance, and chuckled, "You know me?"

Seeing the security guard who immediately reached for his waist, Xiao Wang abruptly stopped three meters away, sweating profusely, and explained, "On the day of the parade, Young Master Lin, you and Chief Engineer Lin went to a family banquet together. It's all over the country..."

He wasn't wrong.

After the news spread that night, his father personally called him back, handed him a photo of Lin Dong and Xu Qingling, and told him to be more careful when he went out in the future and not to provoke them.

It was also after that day that Wanda began to plan to participate in new infrastructure projects and prepare to invest in the construction of the National Computing Power Center.

As for why people know Lin Weiliang, it's because of his title as the "King of Industry." Lin Weiliang is even more well-known in the industrial and business world than in the military industry.

"Oh, what does the principal want with me?" Lin Dong asked, suddenly realizing.

"Nothing important."

Xiao Wang looked at Lin Dong, took a deep breath, and stated his purpose: "It's about how, Young Master Lin, you just watched the New Year's Eve performance, and I saw many people taking pictures and posting them online. Now there's some negative feedback online..."

I came here to ask if I need to delete or remove it. I have some experience and connections in this area.

"So that's what it is."

Lin Dong thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "There's no need to delete it, but there's no need to hype it up either."

Because he was a game enthusiast in his previous life and was the first to win the championship, he also knew a bit about Xiao Wang, the boss.

Compared to the King, the Little King is much more conspicuous.

He seems to spend all his time criticizing everyone online, earning him the nickname "Disciplinary Committee of the Entertainment Industry."

He doesn't actually target any important figures. He keeps changing girlfriends, but they're all female internet celebrities. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement. He avoids people who are difficult to deal with or have powerful connections.

As for the king... well, a small goal of 100 million can be seen as a joke.

However, Wanda wanted to bid higher and snatch the contract from the overseas Malaysian city in 17, which is hard to explain.

Although he eventually backed down, it was enough to show that Lao Wang had become arrogant...

"I understand. Young Master Lin, you can go back now. I'll handle this. I guarantee that no one will post anything sensational about it after tonight."

Xiao Wang suddenly realized that Lin Dong didn't want netizens to think that deleting posts was domineering, and he also didn't want people to use it for hype. He just wanted the matter to cool down quickly and naturally.

"Thank you for your help, Principal."

Lin Dong nodded, accepting the small favor, and left the exhibition hall with Xu Qingling.

Once Lin Dong and his entourage disappeared from sight, Xiao Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and couldn't help but complain, "Damn, Xingdong Company really lives up to its reputation as a drone seller; even their security personnel can bring their own equipment."

"headmaster……"

At this moment, the team manager from the other side walked over, looking shocked and cautious, and asked, "Was that really the heir of Xingdong Company?"

He had only ever seen security personnel carrying weapons on television back home…

"He's even more powerful than the heir of Xingdong Company."

Xiao Wang replied, but did not explain why.

Xingdong Company is very powerful, but even the most powerful company like Xingdong Company isn't qualified to have a private dinner at someone else's house. The truly powerful one is Chief Engineer Lin...

These billionaires and their companies can be replaced by new billionaires and new companies at any time.

But when you get to the level of Chief Engineer Lin in technology, his net worth and patents are countless, and his technology is among the best in the country. There's simply no one who can replace him...

Time flies, and it's already Wednesday, January 12th.

School ended around 5 p.m., and Lin Dong and a group of others walked back to the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's residential area together. When they got to the vicinity of the camp and there were no outsiders around, Zhang Yihao suddenly walked up to Lin Dong and asked softly.

"Lin Dong, today is the 12th. That bomber didn't fly yesterday. Did it finish its safety test flight and then get transferred to the military for further testing in the next couple of days?"

"I'll go back and ask again. My dad said before that we should ask for leave in advance on the 14th..." Lin Dong nodded and didn't hide anything.

Test flights and transfers to the military were no secret to the personnel inside the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) base.

After all, test flights are flights that go out and come back, but flights transferred to the military for testing are flights that go out and stay at the military headquarters and never return.

You don't even need to go to the airport to see; you can tell just by listening to the sounds.

"it is good."

Zhang Yihao nodded solemnly: "Caiping and I have already asked for leave on the 14th."

"We've also taken leave," Li Tao and Su Yue chimed in.

"I'll invite you again tomorrow."

As Huang Qingyao spoke, she seemed to remember something and asked Lin Dong and Xu Qingling, "How's Yuan Yixin from your class doing? She's been paying a lot of attention to Lin Dong lately?"

"besides……"

Xu Qingling nodded, her expression strange, and said, "However, in the past two months, besides paying special attention to Lin Dong, she's also been chatting quite enthusiastically with two other boys in the class..."

"A scheming bitch?"

Huang Qingyao's expression shifted, and she subconsciously said, "Using other boys to stir up competition, playing a game of bait?"

"Wow, you're really good at this?" Lin Dong looked at Huang Qingyao with disbelief.

"What do you mean I'm so good at this?"

Huang Qingyao's ears turned red, and she retorted irritably, "Don't you see your Qingling's expression? She knows more than I do..."

Besides, it's not a very profound trick; it's just that you guys are naturally slow to notice.

We girls can figure things out pretty quickly with a little thought; it's just that these methods don't suit our personalities.

"Oh, so it was just your Qingling, now it's just my Qingling," Lin Dong replied.

"I misspoke, it's still my Qingling!"

Huang Qingyao replied, then pulled Xu Qingling over and said, "Uncle Xu and Aunt Xia are both away on business. Don't go to Lin Dong's house tonight. Come to my house for dinner. Shiwuyue and Caiping are also coming."

My aunt brought 20 jin of local pork from Yanan today. They've been raising it for over a year. Tonight we'll have twice-cooked pork, stewed ribs, braised pork belly...

"Free-range pork raised for over a year? That smells amazing..."

Su Yue's eyes lit up instantly, and she cheered, "Okay, let's go back and help now!"

"Huang Qingyao, do you only call the girls and not us boys?" Li Tao protested from the side.

"Brother Tao is right, I can eat that too, I can eat three bowls," Lin Dong added.

"...You're coming to my house for dinner, and you want to bring dog food with you?"

Huang Qingyao glared and gritted her teeth, saying, "Li Tao, go home and do your homework. Lin Dong, go play your games... I'll ask Shiwuyue and Qingling to pack some for you later."
