“Join the Weapons Research Institute?”
In the spacious living room, Lin Chuan had hardly taken a few steps before he stopped and turned to look at Sun Cheng beside him.
“A talent like you is what our institute lacks,” Sun Cheng said bluntly.
Let’s not even mention the ‘Hypersonic Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile’; the ‘Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher’ alone is enough to prove Lin Chuan’s capabilities.
Such a talent, if not recruited back to the institute, would make Sun Cheng itch with unease, unable to calm down.
As expected, Lin Chuan declined:
“Old Sun, I’m used to being idle and I’m afraid I wouldn’t adapt to the high-intensity research at the institute. If I end up holding everyone back, I can’t take that responsibility.”
Sun Cheng laughed heartily. He knew this excuse was just Lin Chuan’s way of deflecting, so he said, “If it’s just a nominal position, it won’t change your lifestyle. You’ll find it much more convenient to tinker at the Anling Military Factory.”
Lin Chuan paused, contemplative.
“Lin, as far as I know, you currently hold no official positions. If you were to take a nominal position at the institute, I could, on behalf of the institute, appoint you as the technical head of the Anling Military Factory and have you lead its operations.”
Sensing Lin Chuan’s interest, the ‘Old Fox’ Sun Cheng immediately ‘turned up the heat,’ set on winning Lin over.
“Old Sun, you’re really rolling out the red carpet for me,” Lin Chuan said with a smile, his lips curling upward.
“Of course,” Sun Cheng replied.
Since it was just between themselves, Old Sun didn’t mince his words. “Special talents deserve special treatment, and it’s allowed in the regulations.”
Lin Chuan nodded. “Old Sun, I’ll give it some serious thought.”
“Sure, these are trifles.”
Old Sun spoke frankly, “Come on, let’s go check out the steel factory first.”
Lin Chuan led the way.
As they descended in the elevator, Shen Qianqian was waiting downstairs.
“Is Comrade Shen waiting for you?” Although they had not known each other long, Old Sun and Lin had become familiar enough for Old Sun to jest.
Lin Chuan waved his hands repeatedly: “She’s waiting for us.”
“Oh?”
Old Sun raised an eyebrow.
“Comrade Shen Qianqian’s father is the factory director of the steel factory, and he has poured his heart into it, so she cares deeply about the affairs of the steel factory as well,” Lin Chuan explained.
Realization dawned on Old Sun, and he approached Shen Qianqian, “Comrade Shen, join me and Lin to visit the steel factory.”
“Certainly, Director Sun.”
Shen Qianqian beamed, then glanced at Lin Chuan.
Director Sun’s reaction likely meant he agreed to the transformation of the steel factory into a military factory, or at least he was considering it.
Lin Chuan, this fellow, sure knew what he was doing!
Old Sun and the group of five shared a car, with Shen Qianqian and Lin Chuan leading the way in another.
In the car.
While driving, Shen Qianqian sneaked peeks at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan, sitting in the passenger seat, noticed Shen Qianqian’s glances and asked with a smile, “What’s up?”
“I’m trying to see what charm you have that could get Director Sun to authorize the military factory.” Shen Qianqian was curious.
“You must have always known about my charm,” Lin Chuan joked.
Shen Qianqian humphed, “How would I know?”
Lin Chuan laughed and said, “There’s definitely charm, but the military factory’s qualifications aren’t confirmed yet, so we can’t pop the champagne at halftime. Transforming the steel factory into a military factory is still troublesome.”
“Troublesome it may be,”
Shen Qianqian became serious, “but ultimately, it’s developing in the right direction. If it successfully transforms into a military factory and grows larger and stronger, completing Anling City’s industrial chain and providing lots of jobs, when it’s time to vote for Anling City’s Top Ten Outstanding Youths, I’ll cast my vote for you!”
“Sounds nice. It must be similar to being a model student back in school, right?”
Lin Chuan mused, saying.
“Seems about right,” Shen Qianqian agreed with a laugh, then changed the subject, “Oh, by the way, I’ve got some good news for you.”
“What’s the good news?” Lin Chuan asked.
“The day after tomorrow, September 10, Tuesday, Yu Keke’s court hearing will be held.” Shen Qianqian said as she drove.
“Yu Keke…”
Lin Chuan nodded, “That is indeed good news.”
“I am now formally inviting you on behalf of the Anling Police Station to attend this trial,” Shen Qianqian said solemnly.
“The day after tomorrow, huh? Fine.”
Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow, “It seems like I’ve been quite busy lately.”
“You certainly are a busy man now.”
Shen Qianqian smiled radiantly, then teased, “I tried to arrange a live-action gaming session with Qiqi and Qingqing; you didn’t even have time for that.”
“Let’s get through the busy period first.”
Lin Chuan placed his hands behind his head, slightly reclined the passenger seat, leaned back, and closed his eyes.
Driving, Shen Qianqian saw how relaxed Lin Chuan looked and humphed, “I’m practically becoming your personal driver.”
The journey from Linjiang Mansion to the steel factory wasn’t too far.
They arrived in just over half an hour.
Outside the steel factory, Shen Jianhua, Shen Qianqian’s father, stood at the entrance under the blazing sun, waiting for Lin Chuan, Shen Qianqian, and Sun Cheng.
Next to Shen Jianhua were two factory workers.
One of the workers, frowning under the harsh sun, swallowed a spit and asked, “Director, is the person your daughter called over of significant status?”
“Significant enough.”
Shen Jianhua replied.
Shen Qianqian hadn’t revealed Sun Cheng’s specific identity to Shen Jianhua, only mentioning that an important figure was coming to visit the steel factory.
“Then can our steel factory be saved?” the worker asked again.
What they cared about most was still the steel factory.
