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

Zhou Feng wasn't idle either. After half a day, he finally managed to get all the materials back to the factory with the help of the steel rolling mill's trucks, and completed the warehousing, inspection, invoicing, and accounting procedures.

Now, that six hundred yuan has truly become his private stash!

But there doesn't seem to be much to buy these days, so maybe... I should buy a bicycle?

It seems that the most famous brand right now is Forever bicycles. This brand should still exist in 2025, in the future.

Even in the courtyard of my old home, there are still those bicycles with a crossbar, which are well preserved and of very high quality!

Humming a little tune, Zhou Feng walked into the supply department and went straight to the workstation that Li Huaide had shown him.

There were a few people sitting in the office at that moment, but he didn't know any of them and had no interest in getting to know them. He would nod when his eyes met theirs, which was his way of greeting them.

The purchasing department here is also divided into several groups, and Zhou Feng belongs to purchasing group three.

When Li Huaide took him to the small canteen for a meal, the group leader of Group Three was also at the table.

So everyone knew that this guy was a big shot with connections and influence, and even the deputy factory manager had to coax him to come, so naturally they wouldn't want to cause trouble.

Zhou Feng was merely under his command; he wouldn't boss Zhou Feng around or act like a leader.

Zhou Feng has been gone for so many days, and he hasn't asked about it at all. Anyway, the procedures were handled by Deputy Factory Director Li's secretary, so as long as there were no mistakes, that's fine.

"Excuse me, which group are you from? This is the purchasing department! I've never seen you before."

Just as Zhou Feng reached his desk, before his bottom even touched the chair, he heard a muffled sound behind him.

Looking back, the one who spoke was a fat man wearing glasses, whose cheeks were so fleshy that they almost deformed the temples of his glasses.

Wow, they can still get this fat in this day and age, they really are worthy of being in the purchasing department!

"I'm from group three. I haven't been here long. I went out to do some purchasing a couple of days ago."

After giving him a few casual replies, Zhou Feng sat back in his chair and leaned on the table to prepare for a nap.

He was really busy last night. Sun Yue and Bai Ling were exhausted, and he was also tired and sleepy!

"Hey? Comrade, what kind of attitude is this? This is a steel rolling mill! What kind of behavior is this, slacking off during working hours? Is the purchasing department a place for you to sleep?"

The fat man suddenly raised his voice, shouting so loudly that it echoed throughout the office, attracting the attention of his colleagues.

"Wait, am I the protagonist of a novel? Why do people keep picking on me wherever I go?"

Zhou Feng rolled his eyes and muttered a helpless complaint under his breath.

He then half-closed his eyes and looked up at the person, his tone somewhat unfriendly: "Are you talking to me?"

"What else can we do? Look around this office, besides you, who among us is so listless?"

Hearing the fat man's shouting, Zhou Feng glanced around. Some of his colleagues were curious, some frowned, and some simply lowered their heads.

He was personally escorted by Deputy Factory Director Li, and many other people witnessed the event, so naturally they wouldn't get involved in such matters.

Then, seeing that the fat man's eyes kept glancing at a woman in the corner, Zhou Feng roughly understood why this guy had come to pick a fight with him.

If you're going to pursue a girl, fine, but if you're going to try and take advantage of your buddies, then you're in for a bad time.

"May I ask who you are?"

"Ma Yingjie, the team leader of Purchasing Group 1!"

Ma Yingjie puffed out his chest, a smug look on his face.

He's different from the other purchasing team leaders; his family connections are much stronger than theirs!

He could actually get some grain and meat for the steel mill every now and then, so he was used to being arrogant in the office, and other people would more or less avoid him.

Now that we've seen the newcomers, how can we not show off our authority and let some of our comrades see?

"Good grief, so you're in Group 1. I thought you were the leader of Group 3! You're already wide enough, so please don't be so narrow-minded, okay?"

Zhou Feng curled his lip in annoyance, and his sneer made Ma Yingjie blush.

"What...what did you say? Say it again!"

Ma Yingjie was also surprised by Zhou Feng's words, especially the last sentence. He could see that the comrades around him were pursing their lips, clearly laughing at him!

"Hey, you're in charge of all three of our groups, aren't you just bored? How come you're so arrogant? Do you even eat grass?"

"Pfft—hahaha…"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

When Zhou Feng retorted to Ma Yingjie, the people around him could still hold back their initial reaction, but when he said the next sentence, most of them couldn't hold back anymore.

As soon as the first laugh rang out, the whole room erupted in cheers, with laughter rising and falling in waves.
