Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

"How about you answer a few questions for me? If I am satisfied, I will consider these clothes as gifts for you. How about that?" Chen Xueru licked her lips.

Li Dongfang frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and probably knew what she wanted to ask, so he smiled and said, "I can answer the question, but you must accept the money for the clothes, otherwise I don't want it."

Chen Xueru did not continue to argue with Li Dongfang about money. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "What is your relationship with Xu Huizhen? I see you often go to her place."

Li Dongfang took two steps, leaned against the counter and smiled, "I want to say... I just sent her some braised food, do you believe it?"

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and said with an expression that said, "Do you think I believe it? If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. Why do you have to say such things?"

Li Dongfang shrugged and did not answer directly. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Then can you tell me the purpose of asking this question?"

Chen Xueru thought about it and understood what Li Dongfang meant. After all, everyone was smart and there was no need to make some things so clear. However, she felt that if she didn't make it clear, she would be so troubled that she would not be able to sleep.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer!" Chen Xueru pouted.

"Then let me ask you, what is the difference between me and Xu Huizhen?!"

Li Dongfang took two steps forward, approached Chen Xueru, looked into her eyes and said, "From your looks to your figure, from your makeup to your clothes, everything about you is better than Xu Huizhen's."

Chen Xueru did not show any joy when she heard what Li Dongfang said, but waited for his "but". As expected, Li Dongfang paused and continued, "But! You think too much about things and take all aspects into consideration. This is a good thing, but it is very inappropriate in some aspects, such as feelings..."

Having said that, Li Dongfang stopped talking. Looking at Chen Xueru who was lost in thought, he picked up his clothes, left a small yellow croaker on the counter, and walked out silently.

Li Dongfang felt that it would be best if Chen Xueru could figure him out. If not, then the two of them would just be in a boss and customer relationship from now on.

During the afternoon working hours, Li Dongfang returned to the steel rolling mill and pushed open the door of his office. The four women were still inside. Their lunch boxes were placed aside. The four of them were drinking tea and chatting around the coffee table, which was full of peanuts and melon seed shells.

The harmonious scene made Li Dongfang feel unreal. He asked cautiously, "Um, have you eaten?"

Liang Ladi glanced at him, stood up and said to the others: "Sisters, it's time to go to work. I'll leave first. Let's go shopping together when we have time."

Li Dongfang blinked his eyes. Something seemed to have happened between them that he didn't know about, but it seemed that the situation was developing in a good direction.

While Li Dongfang was stunned, Liu Lan and Ding Qiunan also stood up, patted the fruit peels on themselves and said, "We are going to work too, let's go together."

After saying that, the three of them left together. No one looked at Li Dongfang, which made Li Dongfang feel ignored. However, he could accept it since it was not known to everyone after all.

Seeing that only Lou Xiao'e was left in the room, Li Dongfang said with a wry smile, "Comrade Xiao'e, what happened to you two? Weren't you so hostile just now? Why are you acting like good sisters now?"

Lou Xiao'e raised her chin proudly and said, "You want to know? If you want to know, just beg me."

Li Dongfang was not surprised at her temper, and said with a smile: "Then I beg you, tell me."

"Even if you beg me, I won't tell you, haha~~" Lou Xiao'e burst into laughter when she heard that, as if teasing Li Dongfang made her very happy, and she jumped out.

Li Dongfang smiled immediately. He didn't expect that he would be teased by the little girl accidentally.

As long as your backyard is not a mess, nothing else will be a problem.

He shrugged and sat down, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water, and the phone on the table rang.

After hanging up the phone, Li Dongfang also walked out. The call was from the Ministry of Industry, asking Li Dongfang to go to the ministry for a meeting immediately. Li Dongfang thought it should be about the development of fighter jets. After such a long time, it was finally time to start.

I drove quickly to the Ministry of Industry, pushed open the door of the conference room, and found that there were not many people in the huge conference room.

Except for Minister Wang, all the other people in the ministry were bigwigs from the Academy of Sciences. Li Dongfang could recognize several of them, and they were all leaders in their respective fields. This made Li Dongfang feel under great pressure. After all, he could fool these rough guys in the Ministry of Industry with his level, but the bigwigs in the Academy of Sciences were not easy to fool.

"Dongfang is here, please sit down." Minister Wang looked at Li Dongfang with satisfaction. It was obvious that Li Dongfang had helped him last time and he had always remembered it.

"Minister Wang, hello, fellow academicians. I am Li Dongfang." Li Dongfang was very humble and greeted first.

Although some of the academicians present did not know Li Dongfang, they were very familiar with his father. Seeing Li Dongfang's respectful look, they all nodded.

"Comrade Li Dongfang, the Academy of Sciences has studied the notes you submitted last time and feels that they are very feasible. Many of them even coincide with the projects we are currently studying. We called you here today to hear your opinions and what you think about the fighter jet project you proposed." The representative of the Academy of Sciences directly stated the purpose of calling him over.

Li Dongfang sat up straight and answered seriously: "My idea is to study separately and each take responsibility."

After saying this, he glanced at the people present and saw that everyone nodded in agreement.

Li Dongfang then continued: "First of all, a fighter jet requires a lot of things. Simply put, it is mainly divided into engines, avionics equipment, and body manufacturing..."

Li Dongfang has been thinking a lot about fighter jets in recent days. Many technologies in the country are very backward now, and there are not even computers. Many scientific research calculations are still done with abacus, which is exaggerated, but this is the fact, and Li Dongfang has no way to deal with it for the time being.

Li Dongfang's idea is that he will provide the research materials, and the Academy of Sciences will set up a research team to solve the problem of technology monetization. Of course, this will certainly require the cooperation of the Ministry of Industry.

The meeting lasted an entire afternoon, and finally a preliminary decision was made that Li Dongfang would sort out the things and technologies needed for avionics equipment and hand them over to the Academy of Sciences in the next few days to see if there were any that could be used or temporarily replaced. If there were no topics being researched, what could be used? In short, the work would be divided up in detail, and efforts would be made to produce results as soon as possible.

After a preliminary discussion, the people from the Academy of Sciences went back and agreed to meet again at the Ministry of Industry three days later in the afternoon. During these three days, Li Dongfang was to organize and classify the relevant materials according to the projects just subdivided. The more detailed the better.
