Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2302 Cold Treatment

Four-nine cities, nine machine departments.

The movie in the conference hall was coming to an end. Yang Xiaotao was yawning and had little interest in the scene on the screen in front of him.

Because he knows what the next shot of the movie is about.

Coupled with the visual sense of this era, Yang Xiaotao really has no interest in it.

He was bored and held his two little girls in his arms, one on each side, and they fell asleep on his shoulders.

In this kind of situation, it’s good enough that the two kids have been able to hold on until now without crying or making a fuss.

However, Duanwu and Miaomiao were fascinated by the show, and exclaimed from the audience from time to time.

Yang Xiaotao guessed that it had nothing to do with the content and was just purely following the trend.

I have to say that the plot is very well arranged.

The director is well aware of the audience's spiritual food. He first exaggerates the difficulties, then makes some efforts, and finally successfully completes the task.

After several such events, the revolutionary enthusiasm of the audience below was immediately aroused, and shouts continued to ring out.

Then from time to time in the movie there are a few lines of taste rendering, it's hard not to be excited.

Didn’t you see that Yang Youning was so excited that he picked up the child? He didn’t look like a fifty-year-old man at all!
"ended."

Just as Yang Xiaotao was shaking his daughter with his eyes narrowed, Ran Qiuye's voice came from beside him. Yang Xiaotao raised his head quickly, "Is it over?"

As she said this, she picked up the child and got ready, but the people around her had no intention of leaving.

It was at this time that Yang Xiaotao realized that the previously filmed footage was playing on the screen, and Yang Xiaotao also saw a group photo of the machinery factory in the back.

From time to time, voices could be heard from the crowd saying who was on top of it, damn it!
Suddenly, the whole hall became lively.

People were still very excited about being able to appear on the silver screen, and even Ran Qiuye excitedly held Yang Xiaotao's hand.

Miaomiao Duanwu pointed at Yang Xiaotao in the middle and kept clapping and shouting.

Yang Xiaotao smiled faintly, looking like a calm and composed master!
After waiting for a few more minutes, the screening finally ended and everyone left reluctantly, and I took advantage of the crowd to walk out.

Looking at the time, it was already half past ten.

Yang Xiaotao did not take his family back in a hurry, but brought them to the office and decided to wait until most of them had left before leaving.

It was also the first time that Ms. Ran Qiuye Cui saw Yang Xiaotao’s office.

"Dad, this is your house. It's so big."

Miaomiao shouted happily, "When I grow up, I want to work in a house as big as this one!"

"Well, it will definitely be bigger by then."

The family walked in, and the two little girls in their arms, who might have woken up at this moment, also came down and walked around the office, opening drawers from time to time, looking like curious babies.

Everyone sat down to drink water and rest. Yang Xiaotao rubbed Ran Qiuye's calves. After sitting for a long time, their calves were swollen and uncomfortable, so they needed to be rubbed.

"Yang Department."

The door suddenly opened, and Liang Zuoxin saw Yang Xiaotao rubbing Ran Qiuye's legs.

"Lao Liang."

Yang Xiaotao smiled embarrassedly, then stood up and walked forward.

However, Qiuye didn't expect that someone would come at this time, and he looked a little embarrassed.

But fortunately, there was nothing else out of the ordinary between them.

"I just went to see a movie, it was pretty good."

Liang Zuoxin was also a little embarrassed, so he changed the subject.

Yang Xiaotao also laughed and said, "Yes, I thought it was good at the time, too."

It was obvious that Liang Zuoxin had something to discuss, so Yang Xiaotao came outside the office.

Yang Xiaotao prepared to take out a cigarette and light it.

But Liang Zuoxin said directly, "Director Yang, it's better to edit the group photo at the end of the screening and not play it out."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Obviously, this is also a form of protection.

But Liang Zuoxin hadn't finished speaking yet, and continued, "And your family, you must also do a good job of protecting them!"

Yang Xiaotao's heart tightened. It was obvious that the other party would not do this without a purpose. Something must have happened.

Sure enough, Liang Zuoxin continued, "We have received a notice from our superiors that the other party has noticed us and sent us an inquiry!"

"Inquiry?"

Yang Xiaotao was curious, so Liang Zuoxin told him the news he had just received.

"Damn it! You're so bossy!"

Yang Xiaotao cursed, and Liang Zuoxin was also a little angry.

Anyone who hears the other party's unreasonable request will feel uncomfortable.

Especially when the opponent runs over your head to conduct reconnaissance and then says that you cannot fight, otherwise it is your fault.

Damn it, what a bullshit logic!

I really thought it was the past!
"I see!"

Yang Xiaotao suppressed his anger and kept Liang's new explanation deep in his heart.

Liang Zuoxin patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder and said, "In fact, we have done well enough!"

"If this had happened before, they wouldn't even bother to ask!"

"But from now on, they have to think carefully about it!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Not only should we consider it carefully, but we should also be prepared to be beaten!"

Liang Zuoxin laughed, said a few more words of caution, and then left.

After returning to the office, Yang Xiaotao did not explain the situation to Ran Qiuye and the others.

Anyway, with Xiaowei and Wangcai around, the family's safety is guaranteed.

"what happened?"

Ran Qiuye came forward holding her belly to show concern, Yang Xiaotao smiled and shook his head, "Nothing, just normal work!"

Ran Qiuye didn't doubt it, and Ms. Cui yawned and prepared to go back.

Only then did Yang Xiaotao lead everyone away from the Nine Departments and return to the courtyard.

After a simple wash, everyone rested.

While Yang Xiaotao was hugging his wife to sleep, the lights in the study room of the West Garden were on.

The thin old man was holding the microphone and communicating. The previous resentment was gone from his face, but instead he looked more calm.

Tang Mingyue stood aside waiting, her face calm, but she held the folder with her fingers twisted together, showing that she was not at peace.

Outside the room, Tong Xiaolong and a group of administrative staff were waiting silently, like soldiers on standby. "Yes, yes, they resorted to such dishonorable means, which shows that they don't have accurate information!"

"It shows that our previous cold treatment strategy was correct."

After the thin old man finished speaking, a familiar voice came from the phone, "The strategy is correct, but we must also be fully prepared!"

"Although they are paper tigers, a dead tiger still has some power. Especially those who are accomplices to the tiger, these little devils are still very difficult to deal with!"

The thin old man hummed, "We are not scared!"

"But right now we still need time to make more preparations!"

"So, we need to have a war of words with the other party first!"

There was silence on the phone for a moment, and then the tone became serious, "If we engage in too much verbal battle, it will only make the other side think that we are showing weakness, which will only encourage their arrogance."

"I think we can launch a counterattack at the critical moment."

"This way we can have a balanced fight and keep them confused!"

The thin old man nodded silently and talked for a while before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, the old man silently thought about his next move.

After a long while, the thin old man took a deep breath, took the hot towel handed over by Tang Mingyue, wiped his face vigorously and said, "Mingyue, record it!"

"Yes!"

Tang Mingyue took out a pen and listened carefully.

The old man pondered for a moment, then said, "First! Respond to the other party's inquiries and state our determination to defend our airspace. National honor cannot be violated! Any enemy who dares to violate will be dealt a resolute and powerful blow!"

"Second, tell them that we have not found anything about the SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft. Their groundless accusations are purely the imagination of someone with ulterior motives!"

“Third, we must reaffirm our peaceful coexistence…”

As the old man narrated, pieces of information were sorted out overnight, and then after being polished by Tang Mingyue, they were placed in front of the old man again.

The thin old man read it carefully, considered some of the wording, and handed it to Tang Mingyue after revising it. "Submit it to the relevant departments according to this."

"it is good!"

Tang Mingyue was about to turn around and leave. The old man looked at the time and added, "Mingyue, don't worry. We'll send it to them when we get to work."

After saying that, the old man yawned and walked into the house.

Tang Mingyue was stunned. Time to go to work?
Eight o'clock?

Isn't it seven o'clock in the evening?
Tang Mingyue then understood the old man's intention and smiled, "Okay, Chief!"

After saying that, he walked out.

I felt a little touched.

In the past, when faced with such inquiries, the leader would definitely work overnight and give the other party a reply as soon as possible to avoid misunderstandings.

But now...

The other party's voice is not that loud anymore!

She knew that this was the change brought about by straightening her back.

Think about the mushroom eggs, think about the Dongfanghong, think about the planes flying across the sky, and the missiles that are highly anticipated.

Think about the food in the granary and the enthusiasm of the workers.

Today's country is thriving.

Today's country is becoming increasingly powerful.

Today, when the country once again shouts out "no", it is particularly powerful.

After Tang Mingyue left, the thin old man returned to his residence and lay down to rest.

He has done what he should do, it's time for him to rest!

The old man fell asleep, the lights in the room went out, and everything was quiet.

At this moment, people far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean were staying in the conference room, waiting for news.

But as time passed, the three of them became more and more impatient!
The inquiry has been sent out for more than two hours. According to past experience, any country will respond as soon as possible when receiving their formal inquiry.

Even if it is an alliance, it will not exceed an hour, otherwise it would be rude!
Because it represents the face of the country.

Who dares not to give them face?

If they sneeze, how many people will tremble in fear?
But now, they sent a formal inquiry and made them wait here for three hours?

More importantly, the other party did not even receive a receipt.

This is not in line with normal procedures.

The white-haired old man was holding a cup of coffee, and the good afternoon tea was interrupted.

Now, this is the third cup.

But my eyelids still feel heavy.

Fighting back the sleepiness, he finished the bitter coffee in the cup, then cursed, "A bunch of barbarians who don't even know basic etiquette, and you still want to enter a civilized society?"

"dream."

crunch
Just as the white-haired old man was muttering, the sound of a chair moving was heard, and then the old man with the medal stood up and walked out.

The man in the hat took a look and shook his head helplessly, "Old Ned, how many times have you been here?"

"Does this little thing make you nervous?"

"Or is your urinary incontinence from the battlefield getting worse again?"

The old man with the medal snorted coldly after hearing this, "This is the honor left on the battlefield!"

"You people who only know how to hide under the table will never understand!"

The old man was choked and didn't bother to pay attention. He turned around, picked up the walking stick in his hand, and knocked it on the ground.

The white-haired old man sneered, "Go now, before you pee your pants!"

"Otherwise, I can't stand the smell of urine!"

The old man with the medal was furious. "Damn old white-haired man, how dare you insult a great warrior? I want to duel with you!"

"Okay, okay, Mr. Nader, I take back what I said!"

"You are a great warrior, a fighter for freedom."

The white-haired old man smiled and stood up and walked to the old man with the medal. "How about I go with you as an apology?"

"No, I don't like being with men!"

"Ah…"

The white-haired old man shrugged indifferently and followed him out.

The old man behind him glanced at the two of them, knocked down the civilized stick in his hand again, and said disdainfully, "Without our money to buy weapons, can you still stand here?"
