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

Despite being the director of the Special Operations Division, holding a high position and wielding great power, Sun Yue still paid extra attention to his tone of voice and adopted a very humble attitude in front of Zhou Feng.

In this respect, the two people standing face to face have surprisingly similar thoughts!

"Actually, it's nothing."

Zhou Feng rubbed his hands together, seemingly unsure where to begin, so he started by asking, "I just wanted to ask if the machine I had Bai Ling give me was of any use to you?"

While he was changing the subject, Sun Yue immediately put on an extremely sincere, even somewhat excited, expression, and his voice rose considerably: "Comrade Zhou Feng! It's more than just helpful! The instrument you brought back was a godsend, a tremendous help to us!"

"The comrades and experts from the Geological Bureau specifically entrusted me to convey their sincerest gratitude and highest respect to you! You have done a great service!"

This is also the relationship pattern that those experts analyzed based on Zhou Feng's behavior.

Zhou Feng seemed particularly concerned about the impact of his actions on others, as evidenced by his attitude towards the residents of the courtyard house.

Therefore, before even meeting Zhou Feng, Sun Yue had already decided to maximize Zhou Feng's "emotional value"!

Unfortunately, he wasn't the character from the original story, and his emotional value didn't bring any changes to Zhou Feng; instead, it startled him.

This Director Sun is such a high-ranking leader, how come he's so unsteady? He's so easily startled, it's quite frightening!

However, the fact that they were friendly towards him made it much easier for him to start what he was going to say!

"You're too kind, leaders. The fact that the equipment can help you is the best news we can get."

Zhou Feng smiled and then got to the point: "Since that equipment is useful, actually... I can get some other instruments in the United States that might also be of great use to us. However... it's really beyond my capabilities to handle all the back and forth by myself."

"Would it be convenient for you to send someone over to assist me?"

Should we send someone to assist him?

Sun Yue frowned slightly, looking at Zhou Feng's serious expression, and couldn't figure out what the other party meant for a moment.

Wasn't Comrade Bai Ling always by his side, and all the things he brought back were handed over to Bai Ling?

Could it be that something's wrong between the two of them, or maybe this kid... isn't really interested in the bar at all?

Sure enough, Zhou Feng's next words confirmed his suspicions: "Do you think you could use your connections to get Comrade Bai Ling assigned to my office, specifically to handle this matter with me?"

As he spoke, Zhou Feng tried his best to make his tone sound calm, as if it were just a normal work requirement.

"After all, she's been my liaison all along, so we're quite familiar with each other, and the handover process is quick. What do you think?"

"About this matter—"

Sun Yue drew out a long syllable, his mischievous smile growing wider, before he readily nodded.

"Comrade Bai Ling is highly capable and responsible, making her very suitable to take charge of the specific coordination work. I'll try to coordinate it; it should be achievable."

As he spoke, he was secretly chuckling to himself.

He really wasn't wrong; these young people these days, tsk tsk tsk, they've gone through such a long and complicated process...

"That's great."

Zhou Feng's eyes lit up, then he coughed twice before adding, "What I mean is, I might need her to invest a lot of energy and take up some of her personal time, so... I can give Comrade Bai Ling an extra allowance. That's not against the rules, is it?"

This was something Zhou Feng had been thinking about for several days.

He had seen Bai Ling in a TV series before, and her family background should not be bad. How did she end up in such a terrible state in this world, living in a tenement house in Beiping?

However, their relationship wasn't close enough for him to ask her about such things without thinking.

But none of that matters. With a double door, money is no problem at all!

Since he has feelings for this girl, he might as well help her improve her life; it's just a small favor.

"It's alright, it's alright. This is your own business, you young people. I'll just report it to them."

If Sun Yue weren't worried about Zhou Feng overthinking things, he would have been laughing to himself.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Feng took the initiative to want to see him. Although the revolution has not yet succeeded, the dawn has already appeared ahead!

Comrade Bai Ling's work results are truly remarkable!

After reaching an agreement on this point, the conversation between the two became very pleasant.

After all, one wanted to get along well with Zhou Feng, while the other wanted to make connections with a powerful official in this world, so it was a two-way street.

The conversation was interrupted by a gust of cold wind, and Zhou Feng took his leave and went home.

When I passed the alley entrance, I didn't see Xu Damao lying in the corner on the other side.

On the contrary, as soon as Sun Yue walked over, his subordinates came over and reported what had just happened.

Looking at Xu Damao lying there, Sun Yue's brows furrowed slightly, but after a few seconds, they relaxed.

"If it's confirmed that there's no danger to his life, then let him stay there!"

He recalled the intelligence he had obtained earlier: when Sha Zhu and Xu Damao died, Zhou Feng was extremely excited.

Since that's the case, let's consider Xu Damao as a gift for Zhou Feng, just to make him happy.

And so, Sun Yue and the others withdrew, leaving only the two comrades on duty and Xu Damao, who had fainted in a corner below.

The next day, everyone got up very early again.

If there's something interesting to see, nobody minds watching early on.

Liu Haizhong had just stepped out of his house when he bumped into Lou Xiao'e, who looked somewhat anxious.

"Second Uncle, have you been watching our Xu Damao?"

"Huh? I just left home, where could I have seen him? Did he go to the bathroom?"

"I just touched him, and the blankets were cold. Who knows when he went out!"

He snorted through his nose, a hint of impatience flashing across Liu Haizhong's face.

"He's a grown man, and he went out by himself at night. How am I supposed to find him? In the morning, there's a 'Silly Zhu's Apology Meeting' at the alley entrance. He definitely has to come back. How could he not join in the fun?"

Lou Xiao'e's expression also froze for a moment.

Second Uncle is right. Xu Damao might not get involved in other people's embarrassing situations, but he would never miss an opportunity to help Sha Zhu when he's embarrassed!
