All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

Li Shijie arrived at Wu Longjiang's office, where Wu Longjiang was reading a newspaper.

"Brother Wu is the best, getting such a good job."

Li Shijie was incredibly envious; why wasn't he the one assigned to be the liaison officer back then?

Although Zhou Yongcheng's specific identity is unknown, judging from the state's attitude towards him, his identity must be extraordinary. Otherwise, the state would not have assigned a bureau-level cadre to be his liaison officer, who was essentially a secretary.

"I was lucky, there's nothing I can do about it," Wu Longda said with a smile.

It's a miracle that a ghost could get this job if he didn't have the right connections.

“The research center has been completed, and Mr. Zhou has already visited it. You’ll probably be quite busy from now on, and you might even be in charge of it,” Li Shijie guessed.

"I don't know. I'll just follow Mr. Zhou's instructions and do whatever the leader tells me to do."

"When I left Mr. Zhou's residence, he gave me several packets of tea. You often had contact with Mr. Zhou, so is there any special significance to those tea packets?" Li Shijie asked.

Upon hearing this, Wu Longjiang immediately stood up and asked, "How many packets did I give you?"

A few packets of tea mean several kilograms of tea. Mr. Zhou's tea is not something that ordinary people can get. So far, he knows that only a few leaders, such as General Manager Hua, can get Mr. Zhou's tea, followed by himself, and then Mr. Zhou's family.

Some time ago, after Zheng Daonan drank the tea, he spent ten million to buy a pound from Zhou Guoquan. Zhou Guoquan originally didn't want to sell it, since the tea was given by Zhou Yongcheng and couldn't be sold. However, considering that Zheng Daonan had spent such a high price to buy the village's cattle and sheep, he sold him a pound. At the time, Zhou Guoquan told Zheng Daonan to just give him a small token, and he directly gave him ten million. He even thought it was too little, since this tea was only available from Zhou Yongcheng on Blue Star, and its effects were extraordinary.

“Five packages, there are five of us, Mr. Zhou must mean that each person in our group will be responsible for one package.”

Li Shijie could tell from Wu Longjiang's appearance that the tea was extraordinary.

"Five packets of tea. Will your men sell those teas?"

"Tell me about the tea first."

"It can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words. You'll know once you've tasted it. Let me tell you, the tea that President Hua and the others drank was a gift from Mr. Zhou."

“My men looked down on the tea because of its simple packaging, and I doubt they’ll take it with them.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Longjiang ran towards Li Shijie's office, but was stopped by Li Shijie.

"Their eagerness must mean they know this tea is no ordinary tea."

The two old men discussed how to get their hands on the tea from the men. Wu Longjiang asked for two packets. Although they hadn't finished the tea that Mr. Zhou had given them, who would complain about having too much good stuff?

Li Shijie said he could only give one packet, but Wu Longjiang threatened that if he didn't give two packets, no one would get any. So he told his men that the tea was good stuff and that it shouldn't be a problem to ask them for some later.

In the end, Li Shijie compromised and gave Wu Longjiang two packs as he had suggested.

When Li Shijie returned to the office, his team members had already packed up their things. The tea they had been given was casually placed on the desk, with no intention of taking it. He didn't remind them, after all, he was also eyeing the tea.

"Pack your things," he said.

"Let's go back to Beijing."

"I can finally go back."

"Yes, I've been busy for almost half a year."

As the group left the office, Wu Longjiang saw Li Shijie and the others disappear at the end of the corridor around the corner. He rushed into the office and saw a familiar tea packaging bag. He had seen this kind of packaging bag when he was in Qingshui. Mr. Zhou used this kind of packaging bag to pack his tea.

There were four packets in total. He really didn't want to give the tea to Li Shijie, but he had already promised and couldn't go back on his word.

Outside, just as Li Shijie was about to get into the car, his phone rang. It was Wu Longjiang calling.

"You all get in the car first. Secretary Wu said he needs to take a document to Beijing. I'll go get it."

After saying that, he picked up his luggage and walked towards the office building. When he arrived at Wu Longjiang's office, Wu Longjiang took out two packets of tea and handed them to him.

“Back in Mr. Zhou’s hometown, Zheng Daonan spent 10 million yuan to buy just one jin (500 grams), and the seller wouldn’t even sell it. If Zheng Daonan hadn’t been buying cattle and sheep there, he might not have been able to buy it even for 10 million yuan.”

"That's outrageous. Tell me, how much do you actually know about Mr. Zhou?" Li Shijie opened his suitcase and put the tea leaves inside.

"can not say."

Li Shijie didn't ask any further questions. "I'm leaving now. We'll get in touch again when you come to Beijing."

Li Shijie carried his suitcase out of the office building, and the city government's main leaders ran out to see him off.

"Team Leader Li, are you leaving already?" Kong Dexiang said with a smile. Kong Dexiang is the mayor of Tonghuai City, and Li Shijie and his team cannot do anything in Tonghuai without Kong Dexiang's support.

“The research center is now complete, so our mission is finished, and it’s only right that we leave,” Li Shijie said with a smile.

"Team Leader Li, will Secretary Wu be in charge of that research center from now on?" Kong Dexiang asked tentatively.

"This matter is beyond my authority, and I'm not entirely clear on it either."

Li Shijie shook hands with the leaders to say goodbye and thanked them for their support of his work.

Watching Li Shijie and the others leave by car, Kong Dexiang was a little puzzled. What exactly was that research center in Huanbei? There wasn't a single document from above.

On Zhou Yongcheng's side, after Li Shijie left, he disappeared from the spot and arrived at the second basement level of the research center.

The second basement level is quite large; it should be enough for the research AI. If it's not enough, let him figure out a solution himself.

Zhou Yongcheng first took out the scientific research brain, which was actually a piece of aircraft wreckage. Zhou Yongcheng did not remove it from the wreckage.

"By the way, do you have a name?" Zhou Yongcheng asked the AI.

“Master, I don’t have a name. They all call me Number Nine.”

From now on, you will be called Xiao Jiu.

"Yes, Master, Xiao Jiu is at your service."

Zhou Yongcheng then took out everything he had collected from Wakanda and told Xiao Jiu to replan it. If there wasn't enough space, they could dig underground without affecting the above-ground buildings.

After settling Xiao Jiu in, Zhou Yongcheng arrived at the top floor of the ground research center's office building. The office building was not tall, only six stories high, with only a few offices on the top floor. The largest office, about 200 square meters, was Zhou Yongcheng's office.

The office is luxuriously decorated and fully equipped.

Zhou Yongcheng moved the Red Queen to this office, so that she can now oversee the research center.

Standing by the window, I looked around at the newly built research center.

The research center is a polygonal building, with each side being a building, spaced a certain distance apart. Each floor is connected by a passageway, and the buildings can be accessed from one another. Each building has only three floors, and there are dozens of buildings arranged in a circle, with a plaza in the center that is several hundred meters in diameter.

The square's surface is beautiful, like a blooming flower.

Below the plaza is the exit to the second basement level. If Xiao Jiu builds an aircraft in the future, he can fly out from here.
