Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

"Hey? Bai Ling, I have a question for you. How's the feedback on that machine I brought back for you?"

Zhou Feng shoveled the last few mouthfuls of porridge into his bowl and casually asked a question.

"Feedback? What, how?"

Bai Ling was taken aback when she heard Zhou Feng's question, and then looked at him with some curiosity.

"So... is it useful or not? What's their attitude towards that equipment? Do they value it or not?"

Seeing Zhou Feng's somewhat anxious expression, Bai Ling blinked her big eyes and suddenly smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhou Feng was baffled by her laughter, and several black lines appeared on his forehead. Was there something wrong with this girl?

Thinking about all the things he had thought about for her, Zhou Feng felt terrible!

Seeing the change in the guy's expression, Bai Ling quickly stopped laughing and didn't dare to tease him anymore. She hurriedly nodded seriously.

"It's useful, extremely useful! Director Sun personally delivered the items, and the response was excellent. He even specifically told me to ask you when I got back... if you need anything here?"

"What do you need? Gold, ancient coins, or... the 62 edition of the one-cent banknote, preferably the version with the 'green back watermark'. But never mind, that hasn't been issued yet! By the way, could you arrange for me to meet with Director Sun? I have something I'd like to discuss with him."

"You're meeting with Director Sun? What are you going to talk about?"

A look of confusion appeared on Bai Ling's face. Everything Zhou Feng brought back before was given to her and then she was asked to pass it on.

Why did I suddenly have this thought now?

Could it be that I did something wrong to upset him?

Even so, she dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on her face, and even forced a smile.

This is what makes Bai Ling most helpless!

Mingming felt quite natural when she was with Zhou Feng, but because of his special status, she couldn't say many things directly, couldn't do many things casually, and even had to be careful about her attitude, for fear of doing something inappropriate.

"As for what to talk about... your rank might not be high enough!"

A smug expression appeared on Zhou Feng's face. He deliberately dragged out his words and then patted Bai Ling's shoulder.

The smile on the latter's face froze instantly, but he could only manage a couple of dry laughs.

"Alright, in that case, I'll go ask for you. We should have the results this afternoon, and I'll let you know when I get back!"

Bai Ling's tone even sounded a bit like she was gritting her teeth, but she still finished breakfast with Zhou Feng, cleaned up the dishes neatly, and then left.

Lying on the bed, Zhou Feng watched her departing figure and nodded in satisfaction.

This girl is really reliable. She never delays when she promises something, and she works efficiently. All the effort I put into her was worthwhile!

This guy didn't even realize that Bai Ling's mood was a bit off; he still thought she was working efficiently!

Half an hour later, Bai Ling appeared in Sun Yue's office, still radiating a gloomy aura.

"Hey, what's going on? What did Comrade Zhou Feng do to offend you?"

Sun Yue looked at Bai Ling's state with some amusement, based on the intelligence sent back by the comrades who were positioned around Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng and Bai Ling both seem to have feelings for each other, but neither of them is willing to make the first move.

They weren't even aware of their own and each other's thoughts!

So when Sun Yue saw Bai Ling looking so aggrieved and listened to her complaints about Zhou Feng, he showed none of the tension and anxiety he had shown before.

Instead, she wore a slightly maternal smile and calmly waited for Bai Ling to voice her complaints about Zhou Feng.

"Did they offend me? How could I dare say anything! They came to you!"

Bai Ling glared at Sun Yue, pouting, but duty called, and repeated Zhou Feng's words: "Comrade Zhou Feng specifically asked to see you! He asked me to arrange a meeting with you!"

"Meet me? Did he say he wanted to do something?"

Sun Yue was also a little confused. The only thing the two of them had done was that time at the state-run restaurant. What could Zhou Feng possibly want from him?

"Heh... How would I be worthy to know?"

Bai Ling gave a self-deprecating smile. "They've already said that my rank isn't high enough!"

Sun Yue now understood where Bai Ling's resentment came from!

So she got the short end of the stick from that person. I wonder why Zhou Feng would say something like that to her.

"Okay, tonight then. Let's arrange a time to meet!"

As the director of the Special Operations Division, Sun Yue was kept in the eye by quite a few people.

Last time, it could be said that I appeared at a state-run hotel because of a rather serious diplomatic issue.

But this time, I have to be careful when meeting Zhou Feng in private, and I must not draw unnecessary attention to him.

"Let's stay in the alley next door tonight. Don't go too far, it's not safe."

"Okay, it's settled then."

Having received an accurate reply, Bai Ling glared at Sun Yue one last time before leaving.

Men are all big pigs!

Don't think she didn't see it; the smile on Sun Yue's lips was all too obvious!

After Zhou Feng received the news, he lay in bed waiting for the evening to arrive, feeling a little nervous.

Sun Yue is a section chief!

Whether in the future or in this world, he was the highest-ranking official he had ever dealt with.

It can only be said that he has only had the golden finger for a short time, and his petty bourgeois mentality has not been completely corrected.

"Do you need me to come with you tonight?"

During dinner, Bai Ling made a point of asking him a question, her eyes glancing unintentionally at Zhou Feng.

Unfortunately, Zhou Feng decisively shook his head, and what he said almost made her faint with anger.

"No need! Didn't I already say? Your rank isn't high enough for this!"

Seeing this guy still happily eating as if nothing had happened, Bai Ling wished she could shove the spoon in her hand into his mouth!

This bastard must be having an episode. I'm not one of He Yuzhu's group, so why is he talking to her so rudely?

"Tell me if you want! I don't care to ask anyway!"

Bai Ling quickly washed the dishes, wiped the stove until it shone, and then went home with a pout.

Zhou Feng nodded in satisfaction. Look how virtuous this girl is!

When you find out what surprise I've prepared for you, you'll be secretly thrilled!

When it was almost time to leave, Zhou Feng slipped out the door.

Upon reaching the main gate, he first looked around to make sure there was no one in sight before tiptoeing out.

However, he didn't realize that someone was secretly following him.

Xu Damao was also pulling up his pants, preparing to go to the toilet, when he happened to see Xu Damao looking around furtively.

So they followed from behind.

If this guy does anything bad, then don't blame Xu Damao for upholding justice and turning against his own family.

As the older brother, I should also contribute to maintaining social order!
