Chapter 2236 A Fair Contest

Shanghai, glass factory.

"Director, please go out. We are the only ones left here!"

The workshop director, wearing a hat and a mask, spoke to Director Li.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I've seen this kind of work before!"

"If you have nothing to say, just go and watch over me. You don't need to mind my business here!"

Director Li looked at the scene and wiped the sweat from his face from time to time.

The director was also an old employee of the factory and knew the temper of his factory director. He stamped his feet and then ran away.

"Director, what Lao Wang said is right. You can't help here. You might even put pressure on your comrades, which would be counterproductive!"

"Besides, don't try to show off at your age. If anything happens, the girl at home will blame us again!"

As soon as the director left, the engineer next to him started talking.

Director Li turned his head and said, "Old Liu, you are two months older than me!"

"You are not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of death?"

Director Li responded without any hesitation.

After hearing this, Old Liu chuckled and looked towards the scene.

"This is the eighth time. If I don't succeed, my beard will fall off!"

Director Li snorted coldly, "It would be better if they all fell off! I won't have to look at those tufts of hair every day to make you uncomfortable."

Old Liu also snorted coldly, then reached out and stroked his beard.

"Speaking of which, Lao Liu, it's just a light-transmitting thing, why can't you handle it?"

"Bah, you're talking about lightness, is this about light transmission? There are so many things involved. You won't understand even if I tell you!"

Old Liu said this in an unpleasant tone. Director Li at the side wanted to refute after hearing this, but thinking of his own limited ability, he finally didn't say anything.

“How many more indicators are there?”

After a while, Director Li asked again.

Lao Liu lowered his head and was silent for a moment, "After this, the only thing left is hardness."

Director Li touched his head and sighed helplessly.

"If I had known it would be so difficult, I wouldn't have bragged to Lao Jin in the first place."

"Damn it, I've lost a lot this time."

Old Liu snorted coldly after hearing this, "You are just trying to save face and suffer in vain."

"No, it's nothing. What are you talking to that bastard Lao Jin about? We don't have to do their job."

Director Li shrugged, but quickly reacted, "You know what, even if Lao Jin wasn't around, this matter would still fall on us in the end."

"Nonsense, of course I know."

"I mean, they clearly gave us four months, why did some people try to show off and say two months? Damn, that's even exceeded the time limit."

“I just asked someone, does your face hurt?”

Director Li blushed when he was told that, and then he immediately looked up and said, "Old Liu, you can't say that."

"Look, the departments involved in this mission are the First Ministry of Machinery, the Second Ministry of Machinery, the Third Ministry of Machinery, the Logistics Department, the Seventh Ministry of Machinery, and who is in charge this time? The Red Star Machinery Factory, which has been a rising star in the past few years."

"Such a big stall has been set up. Do you know what this means?"

Old Liu was moved by what he said and asked hurriedly, "What does it mean?"

“It means this is a big project.”

Lao Liu rolled his eyes, "Aren't you talking nonsense?"

"If it wasn't a big project, consuming so much manpower and resources, you would think it was fun!"

"Don't be so quick to interrupt."

Director Li looked very profound, then lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know about the armored vehicles that can be exported?"

"Kui Niu armored vehicle, and the Mole assault vehicle?"

"Yes, do you know how much these two types of cars earned last year?"

Old Liu shook his head.

Director Li held up two fingers and said, "This is just gossip from my relatives in the city. Don't tell anyone else."

"Two hundred million!"

Old Liu took a breath of cold air.

"Really?"

"How could it be fake? And it's Alliance Coin."

"I have to behave!"

Old Liu was surprised, but he quickly realized, "No, why are you talking about this? What does it have to do with us?"

Director Li laughed and said, "If this plane is made and sold, how much would it cost?"

Old Liu opened his mouth slightly and tapped his trouser legs with his fingers.

"So, this time, let's make the glass and wait to count the money."

Director Li patted Lao Liu on the shoulder, showing off a bit.

"No, no."

Lao Liu suddenly shouted, "That's not right. What if this can't be done?"

"Aren't all of us just wasting our time?"

Director Li was a little at a loss after hearing this.

After a long while, he patted Lao Liu on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Lao Liu, you should still hope that we will succeed."

"Otherwise, God has no eyes."

Old Liu opened his mouth but had nothing to say.

Outside the glass factory.

Hao Pingchuan sat in front of the stall eating rice cake, looking around.

I have been in Shanghai for so many years, and I should have adapted to the eating habits.

But as a big man from the north, he really takes food very seriously.

On weekdays, I eat at restaurants opened in the north, and at home I mainly eat steamed buns and noodles.

The only thing I have gotten used to eating in recent years is this piece of cake.

It not only tastes sweet but also does not stick to your teeth. It melts in your mouth like sugar after a while.

Moreover, this thing contains sugar, so you should prepare some when you go on a mission. When you are hungry, one piece can last you most of the day.

While Hao Pingchuan was eating the rice cake, Zheng Chaoyang was watching with a telescope on the second floor of a small building not far away.

The difference is that Hao Pingchuan was looking at the gate, while Zheng Chaoyang was observing the surrounding buildings.

After a while, I saw someone walking towards this side.

"Bai Ling, the people are coming, come on."

Zheng Chaoyang spoke to the people below. Bai Ling, who was wearing casual clothes and holding a bag in her hand, nodded and walked out.

At the door, Hao Pingchuan also saw the woman approaching, lowering her head, with a murderous look in her eyes.

Not far away, a woman carrying a handbag stood at the gate of the glass factory. She was dressed simply and wore a badge on her chest. She stood under a tree at the gate, stepping on the soil under her feet and looking towards the gate of the factory. She looked like she was waiting for someone and seemed a little anxious.

After a while, the woman suddenly saw someone coming out of the gate and ran up with a bag.

He was a young man wearing work clothes from a glass factory. When the two met, the man unconsciously climbed onto the young man's arm.

The young man felt a little embarrassed by the woman's intimate behavior. He looked around nervously at the passers-by, then quickly took the woman's hand away.

The woman didn't seem very happy when her arm was pushed away, and the young man had to lower his head and whisper something, and only then did the woman smile again.

At this moment, Hao Pingchuan stood up and walked forward.

Not far away, Bai Ling also approached the two. On the other side, two people from the security department came out of the glass factory.

The young man and the woman were discussing where to go when they saw Bai Ling, who was passing by, suddenly raised her leg and kicked the woman's knee, and the next second reached out and grabbed the woman's arm.

Before the young man could react, the woman suddenly threw the bag in her hand towards Bai Ling, but before she could swing it, she was kicked away. Then she saw a strong man pressing her to the ground.

The young man finally reacted, and in panic, he was about to step forward to argue.

"who are you?"

"What are you doing? Let her go!"

As the young man spoke, he went forward to pull Hao Pingchuan, but the force from behind made him stop where he was.

I saw two guards holding him down with one arm each. At this time, the head of the security department came over, glanced at the young man, and a hint of disappointment flashed across his face.

"Chief Wang, I'm Xiao Sun, Xiao Sun from the Technical Department, you..."

"Sun Xue, I know it's you."

Section Chief Wang replied, then looked at the woman who was picked up and handcuffed, "But this one, do you know anything?"

It was only then that the young man realized that the woman next to him had not spoken a word since she was arrested, as if she had accepted her fate.

Seeing this, Hao Pingchuan stepped forward and said, "This woman deliberately contacted you just to inquire about the news of the glass factory."

"Do you really think pie will fall from the sky?"

Sun Xueru was struck by lightning and became like an idiot.

"No, no, Xiaoru, you're not. Right?"

"Xiao Ru, tell me."

"you"

Sun Xue roared, and soon a group of people stood around to watch the fun.

But the woman just looked up at Sun Xue, and suddenly a trace of contempt flashed across her face, "You are the most useless man I have met in these years."

"It's useless on the bed, it's useless anywhere~"

Pa~~
Before the woman could finish her words, Hao Pingchuan slapped her in the face.

"Our comrades are fighting on the front lines of the revolution, how can they be useless?"

"They are all useless. They are only useful if they don't work."

"take away."

As Hao Pingchuan spoke, someone immediately took the woman away.

Sun Xue was released, and Hao Pingchuan stepped forward, "Do you know why she contacted you?"

“Because you’re important, and what you do is important.”

Sun Xue was stunned and at a loss.

"Well, there's no point in saying anything now. Come with us and see how much information is leaked out."

"You are still too young."

"I don't have much experience in fighting."

Then he asked Sun Xue to leave with him.

On the second floor of a small building in the distance, Zheng Chaoyang was holding a telescope and observing the passers-by around him from time to time.

After Hao Pingchuan and his men left, he went downstairs immediately.

After a while, Zheng Chaoyang arrived at the interrogation room.

"Old Zheng, what's going on?"

When Hao Pingchuan saw Zheng Chaoyang coming, he immediately asked.

"There are a total of sixty-three people around this time. Our people have already started tracking them, and news will come back soon."

"Did the man say anything?"

Hao Pingchuan nodded and said, "Tell the data."

Zheng Chaoyang's heart sank when he heard this. He turned around and kicked the door hard.

"Did I say these people are fools?"

"Do you know what you can and can't say?"

"And the guys in the Forty-Nine City have no sense of confidentiality at all. Are they all useless?"

"Everyone in the world knows that so many people were arrested this time. Didn't they think of us?"

"Who's going to clean up their mess? Us."

Zheng Chaoyang roared, and the corridor was soon filled with people. Everyone looked at Zheng Chaoyang. It was hard to imagine who could make him so angry.

"Old Zheng, what are you yelling about?"

When Bai Ling heard the sound, she hurried out and pulled him into the office next door.

In the room, after venting his anger, Zheng Chaoyang picked up a cigarette but couldn't find a light.

He gestured to Hao Pingchuan, but Hao Pingchuan looked at Bai Ling.

"Look what I'm doing!"

"No, if you don't nod, would I dare to give him the fire?"

Hao Pingchuan took out the matches in embarrassment, and Zheng Chaoyang took it and lit a cigarette.

"I said, why are you complaining about nothing?"

Bai Ling hugged her chest and spoke calmly, while Hao Pingchuan and Zheng Chaoyang lowered their heads.

Seeing this, Bai Ling said seriously, "Do you think that the people in the Forty-Nine City can't think of what you can think of?"

"To put it another way, wouldn't Old Radish and the others have thought of this?"

Zheng Chaoyang smoked hard, and Hao Pingchuan looked up, "Bai Ling, what do you want to say?"

Bai Ling remained silent.

Hao Pingchuan was a little anxious. He was not good at this kind of "understanding".

"Bai Ling said that we don't plan to hide it this time."

Zheng Chaoyang suddenly spoke.

"Yes, I think the meaning of the above is to challenge the other side."

"Can't you come?"

"Then we have to make weapons to restrain it. This is called tit-for-tat."

Bai Ling said, looking at Zheng Chaoyang, "What we are doing now is an upright contest. We are telling them that we are researching new weapons, new weapons to deal with you. Let's see if you dare to come."

"Our leaders are not the kind of people who would compromise."

“And I guess this is by no means the only way.”

Bai Ling said confidently.

"This, this, this is very dangerous."

Hao Pingchuan figured it out and suddenly spoke.

Bai Ling nodded, "Yes, now we just hold our breath. If we succeed, we will spread our wings and fly high, unstoppable."

"If you fail, you will suffer internal injuries."

Hearing this, the three of them fell silent.

After a long while, Zheng Chaoyang finished smoking his cigarette. "I don't care what they do. I know this."

"Catch the thief."

"If one shows up, I'll catch him."

“I will never let you go.”
