Chapter 196 Showdown
Chapter 196 Showdown
"Major meritorious performance?" Li Dongfang asked.
"For example, the fighter jet technology you submitted last time." A gleam flashed in the eyes of the man with a crew cut.
Li Dongfang immediately understood that this meeting was probably not because the man with the crew cut wanted to show his goodwill to him, but because his skills attracted attention.
"Haha, stop beating around the bush and just say what you want to say." Li Dongfang felt more confident and was no longer in a hurry.
The crew-haired man pondered for a moment and said, "The higher-ups sent your notes to the Academy of Sciences for research and demonstration, proving the feasibility of your ideas and research. They are also almost the same as the projects that the Russians in the north are researching, so..."
Li Dongfang raised his eyebrows and asked, "So you suspect me?"
"No, after all, if you can get such advanced technology from the Russians, we will be very happy. The main thing is that these things are simply impossible to achieve with our current technology."
“If it can’t be realized, just study it slowly.” Li Dongfang rolled his eyes.
"Your skills were praised by Chief Engineer Qian. If he wasn't tied up right now, he would have wanted to talk to you in person."
I think everyone knows who Chief Engineer Qian is. With his praise, it would be hard for the higher-ups to ignore it. So, is there a chance for me to use this to negotiate some terms?
Seeing Li Dongfang lost in long thought, the man with a crew cut also patiently waited for his results.
"Forget it, I'd better not participate. Two ordinary techniques almost killed me. I don't know if I can survive this year with such a national killer weapon." Li Dongfang decided to give it a try first.
The crew-haired man frowned upon hearing this and said, "Why do you say that? Don't you know how many revolutionary martyrs sacrificed their lives to build our new country? As a state official, how can you be so afraid of death?!"
"Stop, let me correct you. I am not a government official now. And even if I fight in a war, I will be rewarded for my meritorious service, right? What about me? Haha."
"Didn't I promote you to deputy section level?"
"When did that happen? I proposed an idea for an engine, and Minister Wang gave me a part-time position in the machine repair factory. I don't know what the department is thinking at the steel mill. They want the horse to run without eating grass. How many people's enthusiasm for research and development and how many workers' passion for innovation will be affected by such a thing?" Li Dongfang once again expressed his dissatisfaction.
"You..." The man with a crew cut strongly disagreed with Li Dongfang's idea of being greedy for the position.
"Don't be so rude. I risked my life to develop a technology, but in the end, the benefits went to the higher-ups and I got nothing. What's the point of doing this? I'm not going to do this anymore! Anyway, I've already handed in my notes, so I have a clear conscience!" Li Dongfang decided not to negotiate good terms this time and he would definitely not work.
"You!" The crew-haired man was immediately furious. He had never seen such an ignorant person before. He glared at Li Dongfang and said, "Don't forget, I can charge you with promiscuity at any time!"
"Okay, come on! Let me see how you treat the meritorious officials!" Li Dongfang remembered that he still had a get-out-of-jail-free card. At worst, both sides would be defeated and he would just be a nobody from then on. You still threaten me? No way.
The man with the crew cut was also very angry. As long as the parties involved refused to admit it, there was nothing others could do, unless they were caught in bed. But what was the use? They just said that we are in a normal relationship and will get the marriage certificate tomorrow. What can you do?
The crew-haired man took a deep breath and said patiently, "Tell me, what do you want?"
Li Dongfang thought for a moment and said, "It's OK for me to continue my research. First of all, Minister Wang cannot move. My preliminary results can be regarded as redemption for him. Secondly, I will take the previous reward. The rest can be discussed after the research is completed. By the way, you are not allowed to bring up my relationship with men and women again."
The crew-haired man hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't make the decision on these."
"Then you can find someone who can make the decision. Anyway, if it's not delayed for a day, it will only delay the advancement of national defense technology. I'm not in a hurry."
Li Dongfang now felt that he had the advantage, so he leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs.
The man with the buzz cut was also at a loss for what to do with this scoundrel. "I will report this to the higher-ups and someone will contact you. You can get lost now!"
Li Dongfang didn't care about the attitude of the buzz cut guy. He was just a messenger anyway. Did he really think that he would be his benefactor just by leaking some information? !
Ride your bike home and live your life as usual, continue playing music and dancing. As long as the conditions are right, you don't have to worry about your own reputation. Once you are taught a full set of research and development materials, even the prototype can be obtained for you. Don't be panic.
Three more days passed by eating, sleeping and working.
During these three days, Li Dongfang did not forget to give acupuncture to Li Huizhen and Chen Xueru, and their relationship gradually became familiar, and they didn't feel awkward when they chatted with each other sometimes.
Li Huizhen no longer uses a wine glass when doing acupuncture, but her wish to take a sip of it has not yet been fulfilled.
As for Chen Xueru, acupuncture only involves pricking the feet. What's so good about it? It doesn't matter whether you have a foot fetish or not.
It is worth mentioning that Elena has been going to the yard rented by their company to drink coffee every day these days. Now no one from their company comes, and she has the whole yard all to herself. No wonder she is idle every day and has nothing to do.
After all, they are an open-minded and fighting nation. Li Dongfang understood that Elena wanted Li Dongfang to help her clear all the sewers, but he refused. His main reason was that he was worried about being caught. He was still a little afraid of men with crew cuts.
On this morning, Li Dongfang was preparing to go out as usual to vent his anger, but he was stopped as soon as he went out.
"Comrade Li Dongfang, Minister Wang wants you to come over."
He looked up and saw that the person was someone he knew. Wasn't this Minister Wang's secretary? Did Minister Wang go back to the ministry?
As expected, he met Minister Wang at the Ministry of Industry. As soon as they met, Minister Wang was extremely enthusiastic. He pulled Li Dongfang to sit on the sofa and said, "Dongfang, I didn't expect that you would help me in the end."
Li Dongfang accepted it calmly and said, "Uncle Wang, you are still talking to me about this. I have always regarded you as a family member."
After all, I have been thinking about your two daughters for a long time, Li Dongfang thought slyly.
Minister Wang looked at Li Dongfang meaningfully and said, "Wang Fang is divorced."
Divorced? This is good news. Li Dongfang's eyes suddenly showed joy, but he immediately realized that he couldn't show his happiness, so he quickly changed his face to a regretful one and said:
"If you meet a bad person, it's better to divorce him."
"That being said, it's not easy to find a partner for a second marriage after all." Minister Wang stared at Li Dongfang and continued.
"How could it be!" Li Dongfang felt something was wrong as soon as he said this. He looked up and saw Minister Wang's eyes, and quickly said, "Sister Wang Fang is so outstanding, she must have a lot of admirers..."
