Courtyard House: My System - Artificial Human

In the drama, Director Yang represents the organization in moving into and managing the steel rolling mill. Based on the information Lin Weidong learned, Director Yang is at least a section chief, and possibly higher.

In that case, why doesn't he just place a mid-level clone in the open?

That's perfect, it saves me from showing off.

"Sigh!" Chang Wan took a drag of his cigarette, his expression showing great regret. He thought for a moment and said.

"Wei Dong, don't be discouraged. You still have the merit of assisting in capturing enemy agents that hasn't been recognized yet. With the merit of the steel mill this time, you should be promoted by half a rank. I'll urge you to do it, so you can carry out your work better then."

"Okay! Thank you, Director Chang. Don't worry, I'll accept whatever the outcome is. Besides, no matter what position we hold, we're all contributing to the people! It's all the same."

Upon hearing this, Chang Wan chuckled to himself, thinking to himself that with Lin Weidong's astute attitude, he had worried for nothing.

He waved his hand and began to shoo people away.

"You brat... alright, go on then. Oh, and don't forget the article for the meeting the day after tomorrow. If I embarrass myself at the meeting, you're in for a world-class disaster! To be honest, I really didn't want you to be sent on this assignment. Now that you're gone, there'll be no one to write articles for me!"

Chang Wan's words were half-joking and half-serious, which made Lin Weidong secretly grumble.

Good grief, you dare to say that? If it weren't for your concern, I wouldn't want to change places so early!

He smiled broadly.

"Don't worry, Section Chief, I'll train a new person for you right away! Several of the new colleagues in our section have higher educational qualifications than me!"

"Alright! Looks like you're determined to leave. Well then, do a good job! If you can really persuade Lou Zhenhua to donate the steel rolling mill, that would be a huge achievement!"

"Section Chief, I can't agree with what you're saying. Wherever I go, I'm still a soldier you trained. I'm just changing jobs, and I'm still a member of our private enterprise department! If this succeeds, it will be inseparable from your support, Section Chief."

"Alright! Get lost already, stop making empty promises!"

Chang Wan laughed and cursed, waving his hands repeatedly, but in his heart he was extremely satisfied.

Lin Weidong didn't say anything more. After leaving the small office, he found someone he liked and started giving instructions.

The result gave this guy a real shock.

"Brother Lin! Brother Lin! You're kidding me! Did you see me steal one of your cigarettes? I'll get you a whole pack tomorrow! No! Two packs!"

"You stole my cigarette? Never mind, just don't steal my lighter. Seriously, let's get down to business. From now on, you'll also write a draft for Chang Ke, and I'll revise it for you. After that, you'll take over my job."

"Ah! Brother Lin, are you serious? Chang Ke agrees? And what are you going to do...?"

"Why are you talking so much? Just tell me, are you taking this job or not?"

"Thank you! Brother Lin, you're practically my savior! Hehe!"

There's nothing to hesitate about working for a leader; he's just afraid of being disappointed.

Judging from Lin Weidong's words, it seems he's about to leave, and only in this way can it be his turn!

Actually, this is a good job. Since ancient times, how many ordinary people who want to get ahead in officialdom have not started as people working for the leaders?

In other words, Lin Weidong has a system behind him and a group of clones standing behind him, so he doesn't need to work hard himself, which is why he feels it's troublesome and he wants to stay away from it.

He went to the steel mill, essentially to create his own little world to enjoy.

In the future, others should be writing articles and handling work for him, instead of him toiling away as someone else's secretary.

Without the system, he would gladly serve his superiors, but the system's early arrival still required his hard work and effort.

Then the system was just a waste of time!

Time to go home!

In the evening, after instructing his successor, Lin Weidong quickly tidied up his desk and left.

He didn't want to spend a second longer in the shared office, where there was absolutely no privacy.

Returning quickly to the courtyard house, Lin Weidong declined Liu Haizhong's invitation to drink, citing exhaustion, and then slipped into the backyard of the silk shop.

The curtain was lifted, and Chen Xueru looked slightly surprised. She quickly got up to serve her.

"Honey, you're so timely! Erhu's wife just finished setting the table and you walked in!"

Is it possible that she knew I was coming back, which is why she set out the dishes?

Lin Weidong muttered to himself, took the hot towel Chen Xueru handed him, wiped his face casually, and then sat down at the dining table.

Seeing that he was eating so quickly, Chen Xueru asked him curiously while adding more food to his plate.

"You're busy today, honey? You didn't skip lunch, did you?"

Chen Xueru was right, but not because he was busy; it was because Lin Weidong didn't like the food in the cafeteria.

The meat dish consisted of large slices of fatty pork, a delicacy that would be highly sought after by most people, but Lin Weidong found it utterly unpalatable.

He usually cooks vegetarian dishes, but there are only a few kinds of vegetarian dishes, and they taste bland. He gets tired of eating them after a while.

"I ate, but I'm not full! Oh, don't worry about me, I'll eat by myself. I'm a grown-up, I don't need to be fed."

Despite Lin Weidong's words, Chen Xueru still served him to her heart's content.

Pouring wine, adding dishes, serving rice, ladling soup... she was busy and happy, and didn't feel tired at all.

In Chen Xueru's mind, serving Lin Weidong was simply what she should do.

Previously, because she said she couldn't cook, Lin Weidong specially hired a chef to come to her home to help her, which was enough to take care of her.

How many women find their lives easier after being with a man than when they were at home?

She remembers all the good things Lin Weidong has done for her.

Besides... if Lin Weidong is well-fed, he'll have more energy to use on himself!

Chen Xueru went out for a while and brought out the highlight of the evening from the kitchen.

"Here you go! Eat more, honey. This is 'money meat,' hehe...it's good stuff!"

"Good grief, you're using the principle of 'like cures like'? Xue Ru, I've noticed you seem a bit cocky today. What's making you think I need some supplements? Do you think I'm no good anymore?"

Lin Weidong reached out and pulled her close, looking displeased.

Chen Xueru wasn't afraid. She picked up a piece of meat with her delicate hand and fed it to Lin Weidong, acting coquettishly.

"I didn't say you couldn't do it! But the more you supplement, the better! Why don't you give it a try?"

"Fine! You wait, I won't get off the bed until I've got you tonight."

"I'm waiting for you... to kill me..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xueru was not afraid at all; instead, she revealed an expectant and provocative expression and whispered something in Lin Weidong's ear.

The tip of her tongue was even more restless, teasing her.

This completely stumped Lin Weidong; this guy is a total womanizer!

Lin Weidong snorted coldly and stopped talking, intending to let the facts speak for themselves that night.

You think I'm all talk and no action? He has plenty of tricks up his sleeve.

Seeing this, Chen Xueru felt a mix of excitement and palpitations, unsure if she could withstand it.

Sister Bai Ling is busy with work, and Zao'er has exams these two days, so she'll be all alone tonight!

Realizing that tonight would be a life-or-death battle, Chen Xueru quickly sat back down in her seat and ate her meal seriously to conserve her energy.

She eats slowly, and after finishing, she still needs to wash up and take a shower.

With nothing else to do after the meal, Lin Weidong walked toward the tavern with a cigarette in his mouth.
