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

Zhou Feng was finally able to talk to someone about this topic in this day and age, but Li Huaide dared not continue the conversation.

The key issue is that this thing makes mistakes!

If someone were to find fault with him, it wouldn't just be a matter of his conduct.

His father-in-law can elevate him to great heights, and he can also crush him to the ground!

Listening to Zhou Feng's eloquent words, Li Huaide felt a surge of curiosity, after all, even a poet like him had no like-minded person to confide in.

However, considering that this matter was being discussed in the steel mill office, he silently kept his mouth shut and did not agree with anything Zhou Feng said.

Zhou Feng said a couple of things, but seeing that Li Huaide didn't respond, he could only click his tongue a couple of times in disappointment, and then coughed lightly to attract the other party's attention.

"Brother Li, I've got that matter sorted out for you. There's no problem at all. It's just that preparing the supplies will take some time."

Zhou Ming had prepared all the supplies for him over there, but he didn't dare to bring them directly to the Siheyuan World.

That's 3000 jin of pork belly with skin, 1000 jin of soybean oil, 5000 jin of flour, and 2000 jin of dried fruit.

How much influence must he have in Beiping to be able to procure so many supplies in a single day?

Li Huaide stared wide-eyed for a long time without uttering a single word.

Regarding these supplies, he previously said that Zhou Feng was capable of taking care of them all, but that was just polite talk. Who would have thought that this guy would actually confirm that he could take care of them all after only one night!

Isn't this ridiculous?

Even though he kept raising his expectations for Zhou Feng, this guy still managed to surprise him!

"Brother, this is no joke. Once I confirm it, you absolutely have to bring these supplies!"

The matter was far too serious. Even if he trusted Zhou Feng completely, Li Huaide had no choice but to confirm it, as it concerned his official duties.

Six thousand yuan in cash, plus so many receipts, is a responsibility he can't possibly bear.

"Brother Li, would I cheat you? Don't worry, I'll have the factory truck come and pick up the goods within three days!"

Seeing Zhou Feng pat his chest and make a guarantee, Li Huaide nodded with some skepticism.

...

"Comrade Bai Ling, when are you planning to get married?"

When Sun Yue saw Bai Ling enter the office, he still had a teasing expression on his face.

"Marriage? What marriage?"

Bai Ling originally wanted to talk to Sun Yue about what Zhou Feng had said last night, but she was stumped by his question as soon as she entered the room.

"Of course it's about your marriage! You weren't... right? Looks like it'll be even easier to get Comrade Zhou Feng to do whatever he wants in the future!"

He knew Bai Ling would understand that her subordinates would report this to him, so he didn't try to hide anything and just said it directly.

Although the organization does not advocate this method, they would be happy to see Bai Ling win over Zhou Feng in this way.

"What? There's no marriage going on, Director Sun! You're all overthinking it!"

Bai Ling's pretty face flushed slightly, and she waved her hand. Although she also wanted to marry Zhou Feng, the timing was definitely not right.

"Hey! That kid actually took advantage and doesn't want to take responsibility? Comrade Bai Ling, don't worry, our entire Special Operations Division is your backing!"

Hearing what Sun Yue was saying, Bai Ling tapped the table impatiently, her expression very serious. Sun Yue immediately stopped smiling.

It seems that Comrade Bai Ling is having some emotional problems, and it looks like she's pointing the finger at him!

With his hands crossed and elbows resting on the table, Sun Yue waited expressionlessly for Bai Ling to continue.

"Director Sun, Comrade Zhou Feng asked me yesterday how he treats us. What do you think?"

"It's good, isn't it? We've been good to him too."

Sun Yue's expression was somewhat indifferent; he had never even heard of the treatment Zhou Feng had received before.

They've even broken many of the department's rules!

"But Director Sun, those machines and seeds he brought back from the future don't seem to be very common, or perhaps they carry some risks?"

"Besides, the antiques we promised to find for him don't seem to be particularly valuable!"

"And that banknote I mentioned, why hasn't it been printed yet? If you were in charge, it shouldn't be taking this long!"

Listening to Bai Ling's barrage of questions, Sun Yue glanced at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "So Comrade Zhou Feng has expressed his dissatisfaction with you, and you've come to me to complain?"

"No...no, I just feel that Zhou Feng has had a tough time too."

"It's like when we approve a note for him or something, he can use those appliances however he wants in the future."

"And... he said that the antiques you asked me to bring over last time were not even worth as much as a thumb ring he got back from the old folks."

"However, Director Sun, Comrade Zhou Feng is indeed quite emotional right now."

Bai Ling hesitated for a moment, but still told Sun Yue all the dissatisfaction Zhou Feng had expressed.

Since the two sides are in a cooperative relationship, she still feels that it is necessary to explain things openly and honestly.

Sun Yue frowned, then sighed softly.

"Comrade Bai Ling, some things cannot be decided by our will. Take the antiques you mentioned, for example. They are the result of careful selection by a group of experts."

"We're going to use these antiques to make a deal. Don't you know what kind of temper those experts have? They've hidden all the good stuff away, how could they possibly hand it over!"

At this point, Sun Yue was also somewhat annoyed.

As the head of the Special Operations Division, he was completely disrespected by those experts, who accused him of treason and selling out the country.

It's already quite an achievement to be able to extract these antiques from those experts.

What's most infuriating is that these people are all quite old; we can't exactly let them use force, can we?

After explaining the first question, Sun Yue sighed again: "Comrade Bai Ling, now is a crucial juncture for China's rise. As long as we have more future technologies, we can make great strides forward! Comrade Zhou Feng should also show some dedication."

"If his awareness isn't high enough, then you need to guide him, not come here to complain, right?"

"Besides, given your current relationship, isn't it only right that he contributes to the Dragon Kingdom, even if it's just for your sake?"

Bai Ling suddenly fell silent. If it were up to her to dedicate her life to the Dragon Kingdom, she would do it without hesitation.

But if it's about forcing others, especially Zhou Feng, to make contributions, she really doesn't have that much power.

"Comrade Bai Ling, you must consider the bigger picture!"
