Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

"You seem to care about her quite a bit, do you like her?"

Fei Huainan raised an eyebrow and looked at Wei Yunfan, seemingly considering the possibility between the two.

Wei Yunfan looked terrified and quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, no, Captain, don't joke around."

"I misspoke just now, I was wrong. Besides, with such high standards, how could they possibly be interested in me!"

Everyone in the compound knew about Chang Yongting's blind date.

They only consider regimental commanders and above; they wouldn't even consider someone like him, a mere battalion commander.

Besides, even if she really considered him, he wouldn't dare to marry her.

To put it bluntly, Chang Yongrui and his sister are too materialistic. If he were to marry them, there would definitely be endless petty squabbles.

Thinking of those chaotic days, Wei Yunfan shuddered; it was too terrifying.

If he had to marry Chang Yongting, he would rather never get married in his life.

Wei Yunfan was so frightened that he didn't dare to say another word.

On the other side, Chang Yongting only asked Fei Huainan a question: How could Xu Manman be worthy of such a good person like him?

Ke Fei Huainan completely ignored her.

Even Wei Yunfan, whom she looked down upon, dared to despise her.

Chang Yongting nearly exploded. A hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. She would repay the humiliation she had suffered today sooner or later.

Wei Yunfan didn't know why, but he felt a chill all over his body.

Was he dressed too lightly today?

The research institute was completely silent; no one made a sound.

The next moment, Gao Liang slammed a copy of the US Times onto the table, his eyes blazing with fury.

Everyone was startled and dared not utter a word.

Only Wang Xuemin, who usually didn't get along with him, spoke with a cold expression: "Since they say so, then we must develop the new weapon and show it to them."

Gao Liang usually looked down on Wang Xuemin the most, but just because he came back, he took away several of the most important projects from him.

Right now, she couldn't care less about her usual unpleasantness and went along with him, saying, "We have to make it, otherwise we'll really become a laughing stock."

This story begins with a newspaper that the research institute received this morning.

As a researcher, I often pay attention to foreign newspapers and papers, which provide insights into the international situation.

Some departments subscribe to certain newspapers so that they can keep track of the situation abroad.

Research institutes are no exception.

As usual, they took out the newspaper that had been delivered that day, ready to check it out. Unexpectedly, the front page of the M country's publication had a bright headline that read:

"China's Weaponry Dream Should Wake Up: Why Its Modern Military Industry Remains at the Level of Fireworks!"

The words on the newspaper were glaring and offensive; the entire article from the US was a sarcastic jab at China's weak weaponry.

Ever since the US's schemes have repeatedly failed, it has become shameless. Whenever it gets a chance to be entertained by them, it can't help but ridicule China.

This time, they even published the content directly in the most prominent newspaper.

This kind of behavior.

They completely disregarded them; it was simply outrageous.

One of the panels, in particular, uses a quote from Yang Ping at an international press conference.

At that time, the United States was angry with China because of the return of medicinal materials, and joined forces with other countries to target China.

Scientists who mocked them were deemed unworthy of appearing at the conference, and were even met with gentle criticism in various languages.

They also said that all of China's research is just copying others' work and has nothing of its own.

Yang Ping was furious and exposed the research progress of the new weapon.

That was a technology that even the US didn't possess. When the progress was revealed, everyone was speechless.

After a period of international silence, recently, the US nuclear weapons research base was razed to the ground, an event that is also related to China.

Their attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and unable to retaliate directly, they resorted to using Yang Ping's past remarks to try and give China a good thrashing.

They also want to stir up internal strife in China; they just want to see China make a fool of itself.

Everyone is now watching China's response.

If they develop a new weapon, this controversy can be quelled; otherwise, it will become an international laughing stock.

Gao Liang and Wang Xuemin were at odds, but when it came to national honor, their opinions were more aligned than ever before.

Regardless, we must develop new weapons and show those people what they're made of.

Is the Chinese people's new weapon just a dream? Are they really only good at making firecrackers?

Gao Liang and Wang Xuemin stormed into the lab.

the other side.

Yang Ping returned happily. He had been busy persuading Gu Xingbang these past few days and hadn't been to the courtyard for several days.

On the way, he spoke to Xu Manman.

"Don't worry, Xu girl, the atmosphere in our research institute is great, I guarantee you'll like it."

“Those children are all very cute. They’re all similar to you, so you must have a lot in common.”

As he spoke, Yang Ping pointed to the building in front of him.

"We're here. I'll take you inside."

After saying that, Yang Ping led Xu Manman through multiple security checks and arrived at the research institute.

He entered with a smile, only to find the atmosphere in the entire research institute unusually silent, which startled Yang Ping.

He coughed loudly, not seeing him coming.

He immediately attracted attention, but to his surprise, the person glanced at him and ran away.

Just kidding. The newspapers in the US just publicly criticized their own dean. Maybe the dean hasn't been here these past few days because he got sick from the news in the US.

If you go there at this time, and the dean is in a bad mood, how can you expect to have a good outcome?

If he doesn't run now, when will he?

The man ran off in a flash, looking very busy.

Yang Ping's face instantly turned ugly. These brats, when they see him calling him Dean this and that, when they really need his enthusiasm, they all run faster than anyone else.

He gave an awkward smile: "This person is shy."

Xu Manman smiled but didn't say anything. She didn't have any other feelings; she just thought these people were quite cute.

Following Yang Ping inside, everyone was busy and no one looked up.

Yang Ping stepped forward and stood behind Chen Jianlong, who was very fond of reading Xu Manman's books.

It was he who wrote down the data from Xu Manman's books in a notebook, which led to the discovery of the information.

Chen Jianlong claims to be a loyal reader of Mr. Bai Zi, and he queues up to buy every item that Mr. Bai Zi publishes.

Sometimes, if you can't buy it, you buy a second-hand one from someone who has already bought it, at a higher price.

Yang Ping felt that Chen Jianlong would definitely be more enthusiastic.

He walked over and patted Chen Jianlong on the shoulder.

Chen Jianlong shuddered, without even looking up: "I still have a set of data to calculate. Dean, if you don't have anything else, I'll get back to work."

After saying that, he immediately lowered his head, looking like he was very busy and asking me not to bother him.

Yang Ping was furious. He looked up and scanned the entire research institute, only to find everyone bustling about, seemingly busy with something!
