Back to the 90s: I Helped the Beautiful Factory Manager Become an Arms Tycoon

"What Eighth or Ninth Army?"

Lin Yunhai looked at Qiu Meizi with a puzzled expression.

Judging from Wang An's tone, they should be quite familiar with the 89th Army, so why wasn't the 89th Army Qiu Meizi's primary consideration?

Looking into his eyes, Qiu Meizi sighed and said, "This regimental commander of the 89th Army is an old acquaintance of my father. When the factory was about to go out of business, he was the one who supported us. Without him, the factory would definitely not have survived until now."

Qiu Meizi did consider the 89th Army, but the 89th Army was the poorest of all the armies. This type of gun was Lin Yunhai's brainchild, and she was afraid that the 89th Army could not afford to pay for it.

Qiu Meizi looked at Lin Yunhai and said frankly, "It's not that I haven't thought about selling the weapons to the Eighth and Ninth Armies, but their financial resources are limited. If I sell them to them, the price will definitely be much lower, and I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it."

After listening to Qiu Meizi's concerns, Lin Yunhai chuckled and said, "You underestimate me. I'm not the kind of person who acts for personal gain. Since the Eighth and Ninth Armies have been kind to the factory, let's consider them first."

He is the kind of person who knows how to repay kindness. He will always repay the kindness others have shown him, even if the kindness the Eighth and Ninth Armies showed to the factory had nothing to do with him.

Hearing Lin Yunhai say this, Qiu Meizi was somewhat surprised, and at the same time, her goodwill towards him increased.

She knew that Lin Yunhai was doing this for the sake of the factory, and she was quite touched.

Having decided to go to the Eighth and Ninth Armies first, they did not hesitate at all and drove there the next day.

The Eighth and Ninth Armies were stationed in Tianshui Town, responsible for guarding the border. Their work was arduous and the environment was harsh because next door was the restless Vietnamese, who were constantly probing the border and bottom line of the Dragon Kingdom.

The distance was quite far, and it took the two of them a day and a half to reach the garrison of the Eighth and Ninth Armies.

"Comrades, please wait. This is a military area. Please do not approach."

Before the two men even entered the military base, they were stopped by a sentry who politely asked them to go back.

The two got out of the car and started talking. Qiu Meizi took the initiative to say, "We are here to see the group leader, Dong Dawei. I am the daughter of his friend. We are here today to discuss a business deal with him."

The sentry clearly didn't believe her and asked sternly, "Did you have an appointment? Or do you have any tokens of trust?"

This is the most dangerous border line, and the sentries are always on high alert. They look at Lin Yunhai and his companion with great suspicion, clearly suspecting that the two are spies or troublemakers sent by the enemy.

Qiu Meizi didn't actually have any tokens or such, so she could only explain, "I'm the factory manager who previously worked with Commander Dong. Some of your weapons were purchased from us."

"How about this, you can call your regimental commander and tell him that a girl named Qiu Meizi is looking for him. He'll definitely know what's going on."

After exchanging glances, the sentries ordered the others to stay and guard them. Then one of them returned to the border post and made a direct call to the army.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Yunhai and his companion sat quietly at the doorway without making any other noise.

Even so, the sentries did not let their guard down. Their dark gun barrels were always pointed at them, ready to riddle them with bullets if they dared to make any rash moves.

Within ten minutes, the sentry who made the call returned and said, "Come with me. Just follow me for the rest of the journey. Oh, and we'll take over your car."

The army's location could not be revealed, so Lin Yunhai and his companion were seated separately, with two soldiers guarding each other and their eyes covered with a black cloth.

The distance from the border post to the army is quite far, and the road is in very bad condition, making the journey very bumpy.

Lin Yunhai was not usually prone to motion sickness, but perhaps because his eyes were covered and he couldn't see, coupled with the extremely bumpy ride, he felt dizzy and nauseous, and his face turned pale.

Sure enough, he had been too pampered in his life, and even a little bit of harsh environment made his body unable to withstand it.

Back then, the torment and suffering they endured in order to create the most advanced weapons was many times greater than it is now.

Just as he was about to vomit, the car finally stopped. A soldier helped him out and removed the blindfold from his eyes.

The sudden brightness made Lin Yunhai feel a little uncomfortable, so he had to shield his eyes with his hand before slowly lowering them after his eyes adjusted.

"Ugh~"

The sound of vomiting reached his ears, and he subconsciously turned around, only to find Qiu Meizi squatting to the side, pale-faced, vomiting violently, her forehead covered in beads of sweat.

Very well, it seems he's not the only one suffering from motion sickness; Qiu Meizi's condition is much worse than his.

The sentry handed over the water bottle, gently patted Qiu Meizi on the back, and whispered, "Sorry, comrade, we're just doing our job."

They hadn't expected Qiu Meizi to vomit like this, and they felt a little sorry for her.

After suppressing the urge to vomit, Qiu Meizi felt a little better, though she was still very dizzy.

She stood up, waved her hand, and said weakly, "It's okay, I understand."

Lin Yunhai went over to help her up and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

When a person's eyes cannot see, many negative factors will indeed occur in the body, which can make a person weak.

"It's alright, you'll feel better after a while."

The sentry was very patient and waited until Qiu Meizi had recovered before leading them to the army.

The Eighth and Ninth Armies did look very poor; their gates looked dilapidated, but they were kept very clean and spotless.

With sentries escorting them, they were not stopped.

After joining the army, Lin Yunhai saw many soldiers training, but they were using the simplest equipment and wearing the worst quality clothes.

Seeing these soldiers, Lin Yunhai was easily reminded of his ancestors from that era, whose lives were always more difficult than those of his ancestors in this time and space.

But it's okay, we'll get through this.

After they were taken inside, the sentry did not continue forward; instead, a new person led them to see Dong Dawei.

"Comrade Qiu, the regimental commander sent me to pick you up. It's been a long time."

The person who came to pick them up was Chen Jianguo, the regimental commander's guard. He had met Qiu Meizi many times before, so he knew Qiu Meizi.

"Uncle Chen, thank you for your trouble."

"By the way, how did you end up here? The border situation has been unstable lately. Why did you come all this way? Did something happen at the factory?"

Knowing the friendship between the regimental commander and the old factory director, Chen Jianguo said helplessly, "There are some things that even the regimental commander can't change. If it really doesn't work, let's just stop."
