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

Since things had come to this point, Zhou Feng was too lazy to think about it anymore. He arranged to meet Tao Muyao in the afternoon and then returned to the modern world.

It wasn't that he was in a hurry, but the sooner he met her, the better. He could take a picture for his mother to see, and that would be considered completing his mission.

Coincidentally, Tao Muyao had the same idea, and the two hit it off immediately, making an appointment at a coffee shop in Huaxi.

It's conveniently located on Fuxing Road, making it easy for Zhou Feng to come here.

Of course, since he suddenly traveled back to the modern era, he still needed to report his itinerary to his superiors for the day.

So… all the leaders stared in disbelief at the report Zhou Feng submitted. He was going on a blind date this afternoon?

Without the slightest hesitation, just ten minutes later, information about Tao Muyao's family situation appeared in this office.

This also includes how the other party's mother met Zhou Feng's mother, as well as the risk assessment, purpose analysis, and so on.

"Goodness, I never expected our Comrade Zhou Feng to have this kind of need."

One of the experts couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Zhou Ming also couldn't help but chuckle, but he wasn't particularly surprised.

Let's not even talk about Zhou Feng, even Zhou Ming's marriage partner was arranged by his family!

This is even worse than Zhou Feng's blind date; at least on a blind date, you have the right to say no, but he doesn't.

Thinking about Zhou Feng's blind date, Zhou Ming stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Suddenly, as if he had just remembered something, his eyes lit up slightly. He looked at an older female colleague beside him and said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Hey? Sister Li, I remember you have a younger sister!"

"Working in Beiping, seems to be single? Postgraduate degree, working in a foreign company as a technician, and quite good-looking?"

Sister Li was taken aback for a moment, then understood Zhou Ming's meaning, and said with a wry smile, "Director Zhou, are you trying to arrange a 'blind date' for Comrade Zhou Feng? Isn't that a bit too far-fetched?"

Zhou Ming found it increasingly interesting and laughed, "Think about it, Comrade Zhou Feng's abilities are exceptional, and his importance is beyond doubt. But his personal life and emotions have long been separated by 'two worlds,' which may not be a good thing."

"If there could be a more stable and closer bond that connects him more closely to our world, it would be beneficial for both his mental well-being and for long-term cooperation in the future."

"Of course, feelings can't be forced, and they certainly can't be measured by tasks. However... if the opportunity is right and neither party is opposed, creating an opportunity for them to get to know each other naturally is not out of the question."

"After all, considering all factors, if we could find a suitable person to establish a family relationship with Comrade Zhou Feng, it would likely be the optimal solution for the project's confidentiality, stability, and even Comrade Zhou Feng's sense of belonging and security. Of course, the premise is that the wishes of both parties are respected, and absolutely no means of interference or coercion should be used."

At first, everyone thought Zhou Ming was joking.

But as he talked more and more, the meeting room fell silent.

Upon closer reflection, what he said does seem to make some sense.

Zhou Feng is too special. If his partner is completely unaware of this, it could cause many problems in the future.

If your partner is a close friend or family member, or at least someone who is aware of the situation and has signed a confidentiality agreement, many potential problems can be eliminated in advance.

"Zhou Chu, your idea... is truly ahead of its time."

Sister Li gave a wry smile: "As for my sister... I need to ask her what she thinks first. Besides, as for Comrade Zhou Feng, nothing's even started yet. He's just about to go on a blind date; who knows, he might be interested in this girl?"

"No rush, this is just a hypothesis." Zhou Ming waved his hand. "Continue to observe the follow-up contact between Comrade Zhou Feng and Tao Muyao. In addition, conduct a more in-depth background analysis of Comrade Zhou Feng's social circle and family relationships in modern society, but be sure to pay attention to the methods and approaches, and never arouse the resentment of him or his family. Everything should be based on maintaining a good relationship and long-term cooperation as the primary premise."

However, when Zhou Feng returns next time, I might really consider having a chat with him to see if he has any other thoughts about his partner.

Given Zhou Feng's current rank, he should be entitled to a car when he goes out. Old Zhang and Old Li automatically took the driver's and passenger's seats.

These two have the standard crew cuts and Zhongshan suits, which look rather old-fashioned in 2025.

But precisely because of this, when they were with Zhou Feng, most people wouldn't take the initiative to come closer.

After parking the car at the drop-off point, Lao Li followed behind Zhou Feng, while Lao Zhang went to park the car.

"You don't need to wait for him. Let's go first. He'll find his way back in a little while."

Old Li mentioned it briefly, then silently followed behind Zhou Feng.

The distance wasn't close enough for him to be physically present, but it was enough for him to protect Zhou Feng immediately in any situation.

The two entered the coffee shop. Zhou Feng chose a seat and sat down, while Lao Li silently sat down not far behind him.

There, he could see the entire store clearly with just one glance.

In less than a few minutes, a girl wearing a beige sweater and with long hair walked in. Her eyes lit up when she saw Zhou Feng.

"Zhou Feng? I'm Tao Muyao."

"Hello, comrade."

Zhou Feng stammered for a moment. Who would have thought that in 2025, there would still be people posting photos that weren't edited!

What's most infuriating is that the photography skills are terrible; the photos don't even look as good as the real person!

"what?"

Tao Muyao was taken aback; the term "comrade" was quite ancient.

If this term is still used anywhere, it's probably within the system!

I never expected my mom to arrange for a guy with this kind of background to come over. I just don't know what level he would be in the system at his age.

The love story between the princess and the blacksmith can only ever be a story.

In families like theirs, the desire is primarily for a marriage between people of similar social standing, as this would be most beneficial for both families and their potential future generations.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Feng has been spending too much time in the 1960s lately and hasn't yet noticed any problem with his way of addressing himself.

"No...it's okay, let's take the picture quickly!"

Tao Muyao was quite outgoing; she put the matter out of her mind, happily went to order two cups of coffee and a pastry, placed them on the table, and then took a picture with Zhou Feng on her phone.

Only after sending it did he pose as if drinking coffee.

"Hurry up and take the picture. Once you've taken it, you can report back to Aunt Li, right?"
