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

"Mmm—that was a really good night's sleep!"

It was almost time to get off work when Zhou Feng slowly straightened up and stretched lazily.

He hadn't slept on this kind of hardwood table for many years, and it reminded him of when he was in school more than ten years ago, sleeping on his desk.

"Comrade Zhou Feng, you're awake? Have some water to soothe your throat!"

Just as Zhou Feng finished stretching and hadn't even retracted his arm, a slightly obsequious voice came from beside him.

Turning his head, Zhou Feng was so startled he almost jumped off his chair.

Ma Yingjie's chubby face was right next to his desk, grinning like an overblown sunflower, while he held a steaming enamel mug in his hands.

"Comrade Zhou Feng, Deputy Factory Director Li just gave us a lecture on the importance of unity and friendship among comrades! I saw you've been busy all day, so I poured you some boiled water; the temperature is just right now!"

Noticing Zhou Feng's unfriendly expression, Ma Yingjie quickly offered an explanation and even lifted the enamel mug in his hand slightly.

"Um... comrade, thank you!"

Zhou Feng took the enamel mug. He was still a little groggy from just waking up and couldn't remember the fat man's name. He only remembered that he had argued with him before going to sleep.

I never expected that when I woke up, this guy would come here to fawn over me!

It seems that Deputy Factory Director Li got it sorted out for me. Calling him "brother" was really worth it. Old Li is truly a righteous man!

We need to get more rice, flour, cooking oil, meat, eggs, and other necessities from the modern world. Old Li has been helping us so much, we can't let him down, can we?

It's just purchasing!

After a while, the double passageway will be upgraded to another level, and the space will become even larger!

My buddy single-handedly took care of all the logistics for Old Li at the entire steel rolling mill. That's how awesome he is!

If we get Old Li moved up a bit, maybe we can enjoy more conveniences too...

As he was pondering this, Zhou Feng suddenly noticed the unfamiliar coat he was wearing.

It's not that the styles are all very similar, but the main problem is that this shirt smells a bit too strongly of sweat!

When Ma Yingjie saw him take off his coat, he quickly reminded him, "This was put on you personally by Hao, the new head of our purchasing department! He's working in the inner room right now, so you'd better go and return it to him yourself."

Zhou Feng glanced at him with some curiosity, then nodded, picked up his coat, and walked towards the inner office.

Since they could do such a thing while he was sleeping, it proves that they were still very friendly to him.

He and this section chief were complete strangers, so it was obvious that Brother Li had probably put in a good word for him.

Before even knocking on the office door, Zhou Feng's gratitude towards Li Huaide had reached its peak; he even had the urge to grab Li Huaide's arm and become sworn brothers with him.

But when the door was opened and he saw the face of the new head of the purchasing department, Zhou Feng's surging emotions suddenly calmed down.

He was very familiar with that square face; he had seen it countless times in videos on his phone before!

Well, if it's him, then the relationship isn't about Li Huaide anymore; it's 100% because of Bai Ling!

It seems that the technology I provided and the "patriotic overseas Chinese" I exposed have really caught the attention of the higher-ups.

Otherwise, why would an uncle in a hat not be catching thieves, but instead come here to be the head of the purchasing department?

Right, Hao Pingchuan!
