Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 162 Bustling South City, Bustling Xiafang Village
"By the way, what stage has our mother's technology reached now? She can even develop something like that!"

"That aircraft is so cool!"

"Let me tell you, yesterday I went for a walk along the river with a few friends, and they said they wanted to go down into the river for some adventure."

While waiting for the meal outside the milk tea shop, a few young people next to me were excitedly discussing on their mobile phones, attracting the attention of people around them.

When Wei Jiang walked past several young people, he turned his head to see the screens of their mobile phones clearly.

It was the video of the manta ray falling from the sky into the river that day.

Nanshi is a densely populated area, and many people took photos of manta rays falling into the river that day.

In the past two days, the issue of manta rays has become a hot topic of discussion at the University of Tokyo.

People once speculated that the aircraft was an unidentified flying object, and some even suspected that it was a visit from aliens. Unexpectedly, the aircraft turned out to be Tokyo University’s own.

The surprise was so big that the Internet at Dongda University has been boiling over the past few days.

"No. 138, two cups of Yangzhi Ganlu."

"Mine, take it away."

Watching the clerk packing food for him, Wei Jiang took the bag and walked away.

This is a milk tea shop in the northeast of Nanshi. Wei Jiang walked across the road carrying a take-away bag. A store outside the community was being renovated. His father Wei Yonghe stood at the door checking the design drawings in his hand.

"Dad, take a break and drink some sugar water."

"Put it aside for now. I'll drink it when I'm done. Hey, Master, this area is not cleaned up."

Watching his father busying around, Wei Jiang put the takeaway bag aside, sat outside the store with his cup in hand, and looked out at the street.

There was not much traffic on the street, and from time to time, delivery riders in yellow and blue uniforms rode electric bikes past quickly.

Looking up at the lush trees planted beside the sidewalk, their lush branches and leaves block out the view of the sky.

If you look carefully, you can occasionally catch a glimpse of a flash of light between the branches and leaves. Wei Jiang smiled and swept his eyes across the neatly arranged green trees on both sides of the road in front of him.

While lowering his head, Wei Jiang's eyes swept over a black car parked on the side of the road at the corner of the street. The windows of the black car were closed, and it was impossible to see inside from the outside.

Wei Jiang leaned back and took a sip of the sugar water in his hand.

"Look, look."

"If we hadn't already confirmed who you are, you would have been killed long ago."

Since he followed his father to the rented store in the morning, Wei Jiang noticed that people on the street were staring at the store.

The reason why they tolerated the other party's existence was simply because Wei Jiang had not yet confirmed where this group of people came from.

After confirming the identities of these people, Wei Jiang is now waiting for Red Star to investigate the intelligence related to these people going online.

He knew the current situation in Nanshi. The sudden appearance of the manta ray attracted more and more people to focus their attention here.

In addition to the group of people who were previously investigating Xingchen Group's acquisition of a company, a large number of outsiders have entered Nanshi in the past two days.

There are quite a few ordinary tourists who come here hoping to see the real black aircraft.

Someone sat down on the stool next to him. Father Wei Yonghe took a sip of the sugar water and frowned slightly.

"Some of them are too sweet. You young people like to drink these things."

He took another sip and placed the cup at his feet.

"I'll just clean up here briefly. The more important thing is to hire someone to help me."

"Are you sure you can help me find someone?"

Wei Yonghe looked at Wei Jiang with complicated eyes.

"Don't worry, Dad."

"I'll definitely find someone to come over for you."

In the store behind the two men, two workers had just finished cleaning up the garbage in the store and were preparing to paint the walls.

Wei Jiang agreed to find a helper for his father's business, but in reality, the final candidate has not yet been decided.

We found some suitable people in Nanshi through Red Star, but we are still doing background checks and character assessments.

He and the father and son are now thorns in the eyes of too many people. Wei Jiang must be cautious when finding someone to stay with his father for more than ten hours a day.

Li Fucheng is helping to handle the affairs of the Xingchen Group. Zhixing Network Technology Company has just been established, and Li Fucheng has been busy recruiting a technical director for the AI ​​project these days.

Wei Jiang, the hands-off boss, could only sit in front of his father's new store and stare blankly when he had nothing to do.

beep~

Taking out a mobile phone from his pocket, Hong Xing sent Wei Jiang an investigation report.

"Emerg's internal server intelligence shows that they have received a mission to closely track your activities, Commander."

Looking at the information found by Hongxing, Wei Jiang's face showed little expression.

The two people in the car were acquaintances, working for the small-cap venture capital firm called Emerg.

"You're just staring at me like this, why don't you have any backup plan?"

Wei Yonghe heard Wei Jiang sigh and asked casually.

"What back-up plan?"

Wei Jiang put away his phone and explained to his father with a smile:
"Mobile game, I'm competing with others in wits and courage."

Wei Yonghe shook his head in disdain, picked up the notebook he had kept in his bag from under his butt and started looking through it. It was obvious that he had no interest in what Wei Jiang said.

Wei Jiang chuckled and turned to look at the black car in the distance.

After staring for a long time, Wei Jiang didn't believe that the other party didn't notice him, but the black car still stayed there and didn't leave.

"How responsible! He didn't even take me out of the car."

Wei Jiang stood up and walked to the side.

"I'm going to the toilet."

The store is still being cleaned up and the toilet is not available yet. If you have any menstrual problems, you can only go to the public toilet next door.

"Red Star, check on the progress of Operation Samode. I've been waiting for them for a long time."

With the phone to his ear, Hongxing gave very prompt feedback.

"The intelligence in the server of Samode headquarters shows that their people just entered the territory of Dongda yesterday, and there are no plans to launch an attack in advance."

"They plan to start the operation in four days."

"Commander, I investigated the activities related to you in Nanshi four days later."

"On that day, the University Charity Association that had previously visited Xiafang Village to comfort the left-behind elderly will return to Xiafang Village. It is not yet possible to confirm whether it is related to Samode's actions."

There was a smell in the public toilet, and there were other people inside, but Wei Jiang didn't say anything.

After coming out of the public toilet after urinating, Wei Jiang had a friendly smile in his mind.

That girl is going to come to Xiafang Village again?

"Investigate the background of this return visit, and also..."

Wei Jiang glanced at the corner of the street and saw the black car was still there.

"Get rid of that car. It's annoying to look at."

"Yes."

I walked back to the store and sat down again. Finally, changes appeared on the street corner in the distance.

The car windows were tightly closed, and two men with Dongda faces sat in the car without saying a word.

The man sitting in the passenger seat raised his hand to adjust the camera fixed on the roof of the car, making sure the lens was pointed at a store on the other side of the street ahead.

Seeing that man coming out of the public toilet, the two of them secretly hated him.

In order to avoid going to the toilet, they didn't dare drink water, but their bladders still felt like urinating.

"I need to pee, I need to drink some water."

The man in the driving seat squeezed his legs together and muttered something under his breath.

Dangdang~

There was a knock on the passenger side window. Both of them were startled and almost cried. They turned to look at the window and saw a figure standing outside.

After calmly putting away the camera in his hand, he rolled down the car window.

"What's wrong."

Before the man could finish his words, the middle-aged man in a vest outside the car window said in a rough voice:

"The right rear tire is flat, let's take a look."

Hearing the newcomer's voice, the two people in the car showed surprise. After looking at each other, the man sitting in the passenger seat had no choice but to get out of the car to check.

After getting off the car, the man glanced at the shop across the street. His target was looking down at his phone and didn't look here.

They squatted down to check the tire, and before they knew it, the tire had completely deflated.

"Depend on!"

Cursing under his breath, the man couldn't help but think of the flat tire he had experienced when he was following the man from the Star Group some time ago.

Why am I so unlucky!

This is the second time their tires have had problems.

Suddenly, the man was startled and turned his head to look at the shop across the street.

The young man sitting in front of the shop happened to be looking over here, and the two men's eyes met. The man was sure that the young man was smiling and waving at him.

Cold sweat quickly seeped out of his body under his clothes. He immediately realized that it must be that person's doing! "If you have a spare tire, change it. If not, call a tow truck."

"They didn't even know they had a flat tire. Anyone can drive a car these days."

The middle-aged man in the vest complained, shook his head and turned away.

The man felt uncomfortable being stared at by the young man in the distance, so he quickly got into the car.

The car door slammed shut, and the man said to his companion in a hurried voice:

"The tire is flat. That guy must have done it."

After hearing this, the companion looked up at the young man in the distance and said unconsciously:

"How is that possible? No one is approaching us."

Watching the black car slowly driving away to the west, Wei Jiang sneered and stood up.

"Dad, let's go back and eat."

Wei Yonghe, who was standing in the store supervising, heard Wei Jiang's voice. He raised his hand to look at the new electronic watch Wei Jiang had bought for him, and finally felt the emptiness in his stomach.

"Ok."

"You two, please buy some food for yourselves. I'll reimburse you for the meal. Thank you for your hard work."

"Okay, Master Wei, go ahead and do your thing."

After saying hello to the workers, Wei Yonghe and Wei Jiang got into the car parked at the door and left.

On the way home, Wei Jiang saw his father still looking down at the items listed in the notebook and praised him.

"You are really energetic."

Wei Yonghe smiled without looking up and said:

"I used to run the auto repair shop by myself, and I couldn't eat unless I figured out everything."

Wei Jiang clicked his tongue a few times and said nothing more.

My father has been living like this for half his life, and his concentration on work is truly unmatched by him.

Dozens of minutes later, the car got off the road and drove to the entrance of the village below. At the entrance, an old man was sitting on a small stool with a cane in his hand.

"Pause."

Hearing the father's voice, the car automatically stopped in front of the old man.

"Uncle San, have you eaten yet? Why are you sitting here alone?"

Looking at Wei Yonghe's face behind the car window, the old man grinned with half of his teeth missing and said happily:
"Yonghe, we've eaten, Jianan will be back soon, I have nothing to do but sit and wait for him."

Wei Jiang lowered his head and greeted the old man. He knew the old man, and according to seniority, he had to call him "Third Master".

The old man has lived alone in the village for these years. Seeing his smiling face, Wei Jiang can understand the joy of the old man who can't wait to see his family.

"That's great. Jianan didn't say how long he would stay this time?"

Hearing Wei Yonghe's question, the old man laughed even more happily.

"Jian'an said he would not leave this time he came back. The pressure outside was too great. Jian'an said he was going to do something at home and take care of me, an old guy, by the way. Hahaha."

As the old man said this, his wrinkled face was filled with smiles.

"Okay."

"Uncle San, Jianan is back. I'll come to see you again. I'll go home and cook first."

"Don't wait too long. It would be bad if you catch a cold."

The old man didn't move his buttocks at all, wrapped in his clothes, and said with a smile:
"I know, I know, you should go back soon."

After saying goodbye to the old man, the car started again and drove towards home.

Seeing his father Wei Yonghe sitting next to him sighing, Wei Jiang smiled and said:
"Dad, why can't I remember what Uncle Jianan looks like?"

"You've been studying outside, and you don't stay at home during the day when you come back. It's normal that you can't remember."

Wei Jiang had a look of reminiscence on his face. He looked ahead at the gate of his own courtyard and said slowly:

"Jian'an went to Shangdu a few years ago and rarely came back. It seems that he has come back this time and has thought it through. That's good."

"That boy is still single, which worries you, Third Master."

Wei Jiang nodded in understanding, the garage door opened, and the car drove into the parking space.

At noon, Wei Jiang prepared some appetizers, as both the father and son had poor appetites in the past two days.

At the entrance of the village below, the old man stood up excitedly when he saw a white SUV appear at the intersection.

The SUV approached and slowly stopped beside the old man. A man in a half-worn suit and glasses got out, followed by a brown-haired, blue-eyed woman from the passenger seat.

"Dad, why are you here?"

The man walked a few steps to the old man and held his arm.

Seeing his son's joy, the old man held his son's sleeve tightly with one hand, and kept muttering:

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

After staring at his son's face for a long time and confirming that his son's face was rosy, the old man turned his head to look at the brown-haired woman who had been standing next to him.

"This is?"

Hearing the old man's question, the man named Jian'an suddenly slapped his forehead and introduced:

"Dad, this is your daughter-in-law, Lena, the White Bear."

After hearing his son's introduction, the old man stared at the tall woman standing in front of him with her hands clasped together.

I actually have a foreign daughter-in-law
"Hello, Dad. My name is Lena."

The brown-haired woman walked up to the old man, held his other arm, smiled and introduced herself.

For a moment, the old man felt it was unreal.

His son has always been single, and he couldn't accept it. He had given up two years ago. Unexpectedly, this time his son not only agreed to come back and live with him, but also brought him a foreign wife.

In his joy and excitement, the old man laughed wildly.

"Hahaha, okay okay, hahaha"

After lunch, Wei Jiang was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen while his father Wei Yonghe was drinking tea and resting in the living room.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Jiang drove his father to the construction site of the store. As the car just drove out of the garage, he saw someone waving and greeting him in front.

Wei Yonghe, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw this and asked Wei Jiang to stop the car, open the door and get out.

Wei Jiang looked at the person who came, and got out of the car with confusion and followed his father.

".He bro, long time no see."

"Yes, I heard from Uncle San that you won't leave this time when you come back, which is good. You can accompany the old man. Your home is not far from Nanshi, so it is convenient for you to do anything."

While his father was communicating with that person, Wei Jiang looked up and down at the two people who had come.

It seems that this person is the uncle named Wei Jianan mentioned by my father, but the woman next to him...
While Wei Jiang was looking at the brown-haired woman next to him, Wei Jianan smiled and introduced the woman to the two of them.

“Brother He, this is my wife, Lian Na. We just got married a while ago.”

Wei Yonghe and his son looked at the brown-haired woman and greeted her immediately.

"Hello."

"Hello, aunt."

As a junior, Wei Jiang was even less familiar with the three and did not participate in the conversation.

".He Ge, it's time for you to find a significant other. Xiao Jiang is already this big."

"You have such good conditions, there is no need for you to be alone. If you are willing, I will let Lian Na introduce you to her friends. White Bear women are good at taking care of the family and working, and they are suitable for you."

Hearing this, Wei Jiang, who was standing nearby, couldn't hold back his excitement for a moment and nodded repeatedly. He only stopped after receiving his father's stern gaze.

"Stop making fun of your brother."

"Jian'an, you have to take good care of your uncle when you come back this time. It has not been easy for him these years."

Wei Jianan laughed and nodded in agreement. He looked at the car behind the father and son and the newly renovated courtyard gate, and said with envy:
"Brother He, you are fine now."

After sighing, he probably remembered that Wei Yonghe and his son were going out, so he quickly said:

"Brother He, you go out and do your thing first. I'll be home later. We can talk later."

Wei Yonghe thought that the construction site in front of the store really needed someone to keep an eye on it, and he felt uneasy about letting Wei Jiang keep an eye on him.

"Okay, sorry, I have to go to the store first, we can talk later."

"Uncle, aunt, goodbye."

Wei Jiang raised his hand to say goodbye to the two of them, then got into the car with his father.

After waving, the vehicle quickly drove out of the village.

Wei Jiang and his father were chatting excitedly in the car about this uncle from the same village who had no memory and found a foreign wife.

This was the first foreign daughter-in-law they had seen in the village.

"Dad, why don't you consider Uncle Jianan's suggestion? I don't mind."

Snapped!
Before Wei Jiang could finish his words, his somewhat embarrassed father slapped him on the thigh.

"Nonsense!"
