Protagonist:

Lin Yi

Just as Lin Yi was wondering whether these two middle-aged men were people created by the system, the middle-aged man from Thirteenth Bureau Construction pointed with his left hand toward his right side, pointing at that dog:

"This is our Project Manager!!"

The next second, the middle-aged man wearing the Pacific Supervision helmet on the right pointed with his right hand toward his left:

"This is our Chief Supervisor!!"

Fine, the Project Manager and Chief Supervisor are both dogs—unexpected, yet reasonable.

After the two middle-aged men finished introducing, they turned around and quickly left with the two dogs, their movements smooth and flowing, without a hint of hesitation.

As the footsteps faded away, within two or three minutes, the two men and two dogs appeared on the open space, seriously surveying the site.

Leaning against the railing and watching for a while, Lin Yi turned and walked back to the office, importing the blueprints from the system into the computer.

He copied and pasted several more copies, changed the source file date, and disguised the folder as a complete development package.

After doing all this, Lin Yi subconsciously wanted to call someone from the Technical Department, but then suddenly remembered that everyone in the Technical Department had been fired by him.

Although the few team leaders in the workshop understood a bit of technology, it was only a little—the kind who had six of seven orifices open, with one orifice still blocked.

To fully turn these blueprints into parts, he still had to do it himself.

So annoying!

Left with no choice, Lin Yi could only put the files on a U Disk, sneak into the Technical Department office alone, and analyze the blueprints alone.

He kept the core technology parts, separated the unimportant blueprints, and divided them into several processes.

Thus, when Ji Shuangshuang, changed into a new outfit, appeared with dinner, she saw Lin Yi drawing on one side while cursing people on the other.

The person he was cursing was himself.

"Making money, I must make money ruthlessly!"

"Hire oxen and horses, hire a few university students to be oxen and horses!"

"……"

Winter days are shorter; before 7 o'clock, it was pitch black.

At Zanwu Airport in Suzhou City, Lin Bin walked out of the airport with the Finance Team, then closed his eyes, took a deep breath of fresh air, and couldn't help but sigh:

"The climate of this Jiangnan Water Town is still nourishing; Yanjing City's air is too dry, it feels like the whole person is going to dehydrate."

His sigh made his Life Assistant Liu Xiao unable to hold back a laugh, standing there dry coughing twice.

He spoke up to remind: "General Manager, I need to remind you of one thing—there is no centralized heating here."

"Tonight's hotel is in the city center, but tomorrow, we need to go to Hanshan Temple District."

"That place used to be considered an urban-rural fringe area, only designated as a High-tech Zone at the end of last year, and development in previous years wasn't too good."

"The small hotels there, air conditioning is not standard."

"If there's no air conditioning, then to survive the winter you'd have to rely on your own righteous qi."

Just then, a cold wind came blowing toward him; that wind carried moisture, like a bone-scraping steel knife, seeping through the gaps in Lin Bin's clothes and crazily drilling into his body.

"Hiss—"

The cold made him shiver, and also made him involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.

It got even colder.

Sucking in another sharp breath of cold air, Lin Bin stepped forward with the resolve to die:

"Let's go, cold is cold!"

With him leading, the Finance Team behind quickly followed, walking forward a distance, when Lin Bin suddenly spoke to Liu Xiao again:

"Xiao Liu, you're also from Jiangsu Province, do you know about Suzhou's specialty foods?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Xiao, who had been closely following behind Lin Bin, stopped in his tracks; that smiling face turned ice-cold in an instant, and then he coldly corrected:

"General Manager, I need to correct you on one point—I am not from Jiangsu Province."

"I am from Jiyang!"

The unfamiliar name spoken from Liu Xiao's mouth made the group of people in the Finance Team look at each other, not knowing what to say.

Where is Jiyang?

Facing the group's wide-open mouths, Liu Xiao raised his hand and pointed north:

"About 80 kilometers from here."

The group of people in the Finance Team slowly shifted their gaze to the northwest, their wide-open mouths slowly closing; at this moment, they finally understood what "scattered are stars across the sky, gathered is Su Daqiang" meant.

At this time, Liu Xiao's phone rang.

It was the phone from the hotel she had booked.

Accompanied by the phone call, three cars slowly appeared by the roadside—the hotel's pickup cars.

The group got in the cars and arrived at the hotel; after settling their luggage, Lin Bin immediately gathered everyone together.

After everyone took out their notebooks and prepared to take notes, he then began assigning tasks:

"Liu Xiao, your task is still life—arrange our lives."

"Lu Nian, Xu Shuang, you two are girls, and the accountant in General Manager Lin's hands is a girl; at that time, you'll be with her to ensure fund safety."

"Du Yifeng, Tian Ze, Dong Bin, and me—the task for our four people is to watch."

"Watch that General Manager Lin! Watch his factory operations."

"General Manager Lei is very interested in him borrowing funds but not using them; he wants to see the reason why he does this."

"Of course, this involves other people's privacy. Look at what you can see, don't force what you can't, and don't talk nonsense."

"Understood?"

After Lin Bin finished speaking, he swept those ink-black eyes of his over the few people present.

Waiting until everyone nodded to confirm, he waved his hand broadly:

"Rest!"

Early in the morning, Lin Bin appeared sporting panda eyes, going room by room to call people.

Compared to Lei Jun, he was more interested in the fact that Lin Yi borrowed money but didn't use it.

So last night he didn't sleep a wink, constantly speculating on why Lin Yi did this.

Looking at his panda eyes, the Finance Team members very tacitly didn't open their mouths to ask, just pushed their luggage and got into the car Liu Xiao arranged, advancing toward Hanshan Temple District in silence.

The road grew worse the further they went, the surrounding houses grew shorter the further they went, and also more and more desolate.

They also finally arrived at this time's destination.

Lin Laosan Electrical Appliance Factory.

Only, their car couldn't get close, because the roads around the Electrical Appliance Factory were packed with construction vehicles preparing to enter the site.

Pile Driver.

Excavator.

Loader.

Tower Crane.

All were brand-new construction machinery; these construction machinery all bore Thirteenth Bureau Construction placards, parked quietly by the roadside, waiting to enter the construction site.

The few people had just watched for a while when over a dozen large buses drove up from behind.

Slowly stopping behind Lin Bin and the others.

Under their curious gazes, the doors opened, a dense mass of people got off, and then formed neat rows by the roadside.

The instant they saw these people, Lin Bin and the others' pupils shrank sharply, and they couldn't help sucking in a breath of cold air.

Because these people's heights were almost identical, all wearing unified dark blue work clothes, draped in yellow reflective vests, thick red safety helmets on their heads; standing there, they formed a human wall.

The formation complete, immediately came the roll call resounding to the clouds.

Each voice louder than the last.

"General Manager!" Liu Xiao couldn't help crying out in alarm; this cry of hers also drew the others' attention over.

The people present were all elites; even if they hadn't eaten pork, they'd seen pigs run.

Construction sites they'd naturally seen many of, workers they'd also seen many of.

But workers possessing this kind of bearing and appearance, not a single one of them had ever seen.

Let alone several hundred such people suddenly appearing now.

At this time, Tian Ze quietly sidled up to Lin Bin and carefully asked:

"Could this be the regular army?"
