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

After the two finished eating the instant noodles, Zhou Feng placed the enamel basin, still containing the noodle soup, outside.

The smell of this stuff was just too strong. It smelled delicious inside the house, but after Zhou Feng ate two big bowls of it, he had entered a state of sagehood.

For a short time, he only felt that the instant noodles were too greasy, and he was afraid that it would take a while before he could crave them again.

Zhou Feng was too lazy to clean the greasy basin, so he just left it outside to dry.

He would first open the windows to let the room air out, and then take all the trash out to empty it once he had filled a bag.

After Bai Ling and Zhou Feng finished their meal and tidied up at home, they took the key Zhou Feng had given them and went out.

Zhou Feng has returned from the future. She needs to report everything that happened this morning to the organization in person and also get a key made.

"When you saw Comrade Zhou Feng this time, did you notice any changes?"

While flipping through the reports compiled by other comrades, Sun Yue asked Bai Ling a question.

"I can't quite put my finger on it... I just feel like he's more comfortable and relaxed talking to me, and he seems... much more confident."

Bai Ling carefully recalled the scene that morning. It seemed that when she first moved in, Zhou Feng was still very wary of her status as a staff member of the Municipal Bureau, but this morning Zhou Feng's attitude towards her had obviously changed.

"In your opinion, where does his confidence come from?"

Nodding in satisfaction, Sun Yue put down the report in his hand, rested his elbows on the desk, and looked at Bai Ling.

The latter pondered for a moment: "It must be that his status or capital in the future world has changed?"

That's exactly the point.

Sun Yue nodded, then sighed.

"Comrade Bai Ling, this is an inevitable trend that will occur after we come into contact with Comrade Zhou Feng."

"He made his fortune over there using goods from our side. Once he's saved up enough capital, I'm afraid..."

He paused, then emphasized slightly, "You've noticed too, this comrade doesn't have much ambition. Even collecting old items and arguing with the people in the compound have become much less urgent now, haven't they?"

Bai Ling's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, because she realized that Sun Yue's words were indeed all reasonable, and even she herself had come to accept this viewpoint from the bottom of her heart.

In fact, Zhou Feng himself was unaware of the changes in himself.

A person's self-confidence comes from the confidence in their heart. With the potential auction price Chen Tao reported to him and the calculated after-tax income, it would definitely be eight figures.

This money is Zhou Feng's biggest source of confidence!

With this level of savings, even if he made a mistake in the world of courtyard houses, he could still live a fulfilling life back in modern society!

"So... what should we do?"

Bai Ling's voice was a little tight. She was very clear about Zhou Feng's significance to their world, and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.

"You don't need to worry too much. Judging from Comrade Zhou Feng's current attitude, he has developed a sense of identity with our world. Including the technology he specially retrieved last time to prevent you from being punished, these are all good developments."

"This also shows that you two got along well; your relationship gradually transformed from ordinary neighbors into friendship, proving that your efforts over such a long period of time have paid off!"

"Next, what we need to do is to make Comrade Zhou Feng more concerned about this matter. Comrade Bai Ling, you'd better put in a stronger effort!"

Bai Ling was taken aback. She instinctively felt that Sun Yue's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but she couldn't believe that it meant what she thought.

A complex expression also flashed across Sun Yue's eyes.

If it doesn't work out with Bai Ling, then... that little girl surnamed Qin from the countryside could perhaps be added as leverage.
