Chapter 3211 Liu Feng, the Rogue
When I woke up in the morning, the outside was covered in a blanket of snow.
I glanced at the calendar on the wall; it was December 26th.
New Year's Day is just around the corner, and another year is about to pass.
The next one to be hung up would be in 1975, so Yang Xiaotao felt he needed to buy the calendar posters in advance.
This thing is a sheet of paper for one day. Not only can you write things down on the back, but when you run out of cigarettes, you can also cut off a sheet and wrap it up to smoke.
Cough cough!
Yang Xiaotao frowned as he heard his grandfather coughing next door.
In the past two years, my great-grandfather's health has been getting worse and worse!
As people age, their bodies undergo irreversible aging, especially the hidden injuries left over from those years, which caused my great-grandfather to suffer from various ailments.
Yang Xiaotao had been watching all of this.
Years ago, Yang Xiaotao noticed his great-grandfather's condition, and Xiaowei had also reminded him many times that his great-grandfather's health was almost deteriorating.
It's all thanks to Xiao Wei's help that he's been able to hold on until now, repeatedly using her energy to maintain his body.
For the past two years, Xiao Wei has been at a loss.
Because the great-grandfather's physical functions were so poor, the energy that Xiaowei gave him could hardly be retained.
"Grandpa is coughing again!"
Ran Qiuye walked up and said worriedly, "And Elder Ye, his health hasn't been very good lately either!"
“I brought him food yesterday, but he barely ate anything while I was cleaning up.”
"If this continues..."
Ran Qiuye didn't say anything, and Yang Xiaotao sighed again, equally unsure of what to say.
"Take good care of her. If it gets too difficult, ask someone in the hospital to help look after her."
"I know!"
As the two were talking, the old man came out from the inner room and smiled when he saw Yang Xiaotao.
"Did my cough disturb you?"
"I told you, it was perfectly fine living in the countryside, but you all insisted on coming up..."
As the old man grumbled on, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward to help him up, saying, "Please, don't bother. In the village, we'd have to trouble Uncle Dazhuang and the others. It's better to stay here!"
"Besides, the children in this family still need you to look after them. Qiuye and I are rarely home, and I don't feel at ease without you looking after them..."
Some people say that being there for someone is the best way to show filial piety. Yang Xiaotao hadn't understood this before, but now, perhaps because he's in that situation, he feels it deeply.
When Yang Xiaotao talked about his children, the great-grandfather perked up.
Especially Xiao Dudu, this little guy was basically raised by his great-grandfather. During the day, when they went to school, he would follow his great-grandfather around the streets and alleys. He was the closest to his great-grandfather.
The father and son walked out of the yard. Yang Xiaotao picked up a broom and started sweeping the snow. The great-grandfather stood under the eaves and greeted Old Ye as he came out.
Inside the house, Ran Qiuye woke Duanwu up and, carrying a broom, went to the backyard.
After breakfast, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye went out together, while Old Ye and the old Taoist priest sat in the car, both in good spirits.
Especially the old Taoist priest, Yang Xiaotao told him personally that after this year, he would be retiring with honor.
However, he will still have an honorary position in the Ninth Department, receive a salary, and be able to do whatever he wants in the future without having to take the blame for Yang Xiaotao.
I was naturally in a great mood.
As for Elder Ye, Yang Xiaotao had also made the suggestion, but Elder Ye declined.
They said there was nothing to do in the courtyard, so it was better to wander around the college. If the mood struck, you could even go to the classrooms to listen to the teachers' lectures and hear the students' voices.
As for the leadership of the Ninth Academy, Qian Xuesen is currently working in the Ninth Academy. Yang Xiaotao plans to have Chen Xuesen issue a document so that Qian Xuesen can take over after Ye Xuesen retires.
I doubt those arrogant and fierce soldiers in the research institute would dare to say anything.
This saves Yang Xiaotao the trouble of finding another candidate.
"Look, your awareness is still lacking!"
Seeing the old Taoist priest's sly grin, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but tease him.
The old Taoist priest curled his lip, "You still have the nerve to mention the word 'enlightenment'!"
"Of course I have! My awareness is very high, okay!"
"hehe…"
"Old Taoist, explain yourself clearly, what does 'hehe' mean?"
"hehe…"
"Comrade Zhang Dedao, is this how you treat your revolutionary comrades?"
"hehe…"
"Honey, let's go to the hospital first!"
Yang Xiaotao looked at Ran Qiuye in shock, only to receive a pair of eye rolls in return.
"Can you be serious for once?"
Instantly, the car fell silent.
"Honey, I'll pick you up after get off work."
Yang Xiaotao called out to Ran Qiuye, then drove away quickly after she waved.
"I'm saying, do you want to have a few more?"
The old Taoist priest took out two cigarettes, lit them, and then gave one to Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao was taken aback. "Why are you bringing this up?"
The old Taoist priest smiled mysteriously, "I've heard that if you want a woman to obey you, you have to make her have many children."
"What nonsense! What does a woman's obedience have to do with having children?"
"I just heard about it, why don't you give it a try?"
Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath. "Forget it. There's already enough chaos at home, and I'm already this old."
"What do you mean 'at this age'? Some people can have children at forty. You're not even forty yet."
Encouraged by the old Taoist priest, Yang Xiaotao threw his cigarette butt into the snow beside the road, then realized what he meant. "What nonsense! I'm the boss at home, my word is law, I have absolute authority. Why would I need to resort to such methods?"
"hehe."
"Damn it, are you never going to stop laughing?"
"I'll steal your meat for lunch today."
The two were bickering in the car, while Old Ye laughed beside them.
Upon arriving at the Ninth Department, the car stopped, and Yang Xiaotao parted ways with Elder Ye before heading towards the office building.
Yang Xiaotao stomped his feet as he entered the building and headed towards his office.
Not long after they sat down, Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e walked in from outside. They greeted Yang Xiaotao when they saw that he had arrived early, and then prepared to start working.
At 8:30, the phone on the table rang. Yang Xiaotao answered it casually and heard Old Chen's voice on the other end.
"Boss, you called as soon as I got to the office. That's so timely."
"Stop being silly, I'm calling to tell you some news."
Yang Xiaotao knew from Old Chen's voice that the news must be accurate.
So he asked with a smile, "Boss, it must be good news, right?"
"You guessed right, it's good news."
"Your paper has been published. It was published in the newspaper yesterday. We found out a little late, but our comrades have compared it and the paper was published exactly as it was in the original."
Overall, this step can be considered a success.
Yang Xiaotao laughed and said, "In that case, we just need to wait. Someone will find out eventually."
"Yes, but we also need to be prepared here. Didn't you say there was a new project going to be launched?"
Yang Xiaotao immediately sat up straight and asked, "Boss, it's easy to get this project started, but you need to help with the selection of personnel."
"You'll have to handle this yourself."
"No, boss, we did agree that you would help us resolve this."
We'll talk about that later.
Old Chen interrupted him directly, then laughed and said, "What if they agree to your invitation?"
Yang Xiaotao blinked, thinking it wasn't impossible.
"Alright, I'll go ask in a couple of days, but if that doesn't work, then you'll have to step in."
"We'll see, we'll see."
Old Chen chuckled and then brought up the matter of repairing computers on the Japanese island. "The other party is considering the three conditions we proposed. However, Li Rong also said that this is basically the international practice. The only point of contention is the price. It should be finalized soon."
"You need to send someone over there to make preparations in advance."
After giving some instructions, Yang Xiaotao nodded in agreement.
"Also, if you have some time these next couple of days, think about how to write this year's summary report and what your plans are for next year, so you don't end up not knowing what to say at the meeting."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Yang Xiaotao was somewhat bewildered as he held the phone.
It's not even the end of the year yet, and they're already starting to give reports?
Shaking his head helplessly, Yang Xiaotao put down the phone, then turned on his computer, preparing to proceed according to his plan.
"Mr. Yang."
Around noon, Liu Lixue returned from the research institute, bringing back updates on its progress.
"Director Wu said that there are some parts of the design drawings that require you to go there, as they don't quite understand them."
Yang Xiaotao looked up from the computer screen. "Panda?"
"Yes, there were some parts I didn't understand during the study."
Liu Lixue said confidently, and Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I'll go take a look this afternoon."
"Mr. Yang, there's one more thing!"
Liu Lixue suddenly hesitated. Yang Xiaotao, busy looking at the program files on the computer, casually asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's about the printer!"
"printer?"
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's expression, Liu Lixue knew that he must have forgotten.
Then he reminded her, "Have you forgotten?"
"Did we send some computers and printers to the university last time?"
Yang Xiaotao slapped his forehead and remembered, "Oh, I remember now."
"How's their research going?"
Liu Lixue smiled and said, "They said they had found a solution at first, so we provided them with computers and printers to help them with their research."
"Their research has progressed very quickly during this period, especially Comrade Wang Jiahao, who returned from abroad and has many ideas about printer research."
“When I went to their university to check on the progress last time, their President Wang said that the research might be completed before the end of the year.”
Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands and said, "That's the best way."
"Once it's finished after the New Year, our new computer design should be almost complete."
"We can update both of them at the same time!"
Yang Xiaotao laughed when he thought of that scene.
"You continue to follow up on this matter. As long as the other side can complete the mission, we won't be short of those supplies."
Liu Lixue nodded in agreement, but she was somewhat displeased inside.
Because the way that person looked at him was a little strange.
However, for the sake of the revolution, none of these matters matter.
Just as Liu Lixue finished reporting her work and Yang Xiaotao was about to go to lunch, there was a sudden knock on the office door. Then Wang Hao walked in quickly, looking a little flustered.
"President Yang, Liu Feng, something has happened to Liu Feng."
Yang Xiaotao and the other two didn't understand what was going on at first, but Wang Hao quickly said, "Liu Feng, Liu Feng was arrested by the security department while helping out at the cultural troupe!"
"They said it was because he acted like a hooligan at the rehearsal, and that he also had issues with his conduct."
"They arrested him immediately and put him in solitary confinement."
Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e were shocked; in their memory, Liu Feng was not like that.
The other party is hardworking, honest, and helpful; he is a universally recognized good person.
How could someone possibly do such a thing?
Yang Xiaotao shook his head inwardly and sighed, "What was bound to happen has finally happened."
I just don't know if this time, with my involvement, things will turn out the same as in my previous life.
"Let's go take a look."
Yang Xiaotao spoke to the three of them, and Wang Hao hurriedly went to prepare the car.
Lou Xiao'e still couldn't believe Liu Feng would do such a thing, and in her panic, she said, "President Yang, should we tell Secretary Liu?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "No rush, let's investigate this matter thoroughly first."
"Oh, right, you stay here, I'm going with Xiaoxue."
"Let Lao Yang go too."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he walked out. Lou Xiao'e glanced at Liu Lixue, who gave her a reassuring look, and then quickly followed him out.
