Nantianmen Project: Starting from Love Apartment

"If those old friends saw this, they would be so happy." A trace of sadness flashed in Mr. Qian's eyes, and he murmured softly, as if he was talking to the past.

Xiao Jie looked at him silently, with a feeling of sadness in his heart. Xiao Jie gently patted Qian Lao's shoulder and comforted him: "I believe their spirits in heaven will definitely see it. They will definitely be very happy to see that the people are living so well now."

Mr. Qian nodded slightly. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a forced smile: "Haha, I'm sorry to make you laugh. As people get older, they tend to be sentimental. Every time I hear or see the prosperity of the country, I can't help but think of my old friends... Don't take it to heart."

Xiao Jie quickly shook his head, with a sincere smile on his face: "How could that be? In fact, I really like listening to your stories. Every detail and every memory makes me feel the deep friendship. These are precious treasures that are worth cherishing forever."

After hearing this, Mr. Qian was stunned at first, and then he burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, you are such a sweet talker! You only know how to comfort an old man like me in various ways."

Laughter echoed in the air, carrying the traces of time and sincere emotions.

"Okay, kid, take your time eating. Master Shi and I will go back first, otherwise my wife will start yelling. Let's go." Old Qian stood up and walked towards the door with Master Shi beside him.

"No problem, teachers. See you in half a month!" Xiao Jie shouted loudly as he watched their backs gradually moving away.

"it is good!"

From afar, voices were heard outside the restaurant. That was Mr. Qian's response.

Xiao Jie looked at the two teachers' backs as they walked away, smiled, then lowered his head and continued to enjoy his simple and delicious breakfast.

Not long after, Xiao Jie finished the last bite of food like a whirlwind, and threw the used tableware and remaining garbage into the trash can. Then, he walked briskly in the direction of Lu Zhanbo.

Walking to Lu Zhanbo's door, Xiao Jie raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.

After a while, there was a creaking sound and the door slowly opened. Xiao Jie poked his head in and asked with a smile, "Zhanbo, are you done packing?"

Lu Zhanbo nodded and responded, "Yes, everything is sorted out."

"That's fine. You wait at the door for a while. I'll go back to my room to get my luggage." After saying that, Xiao Jie turned around and returned to his dormitory.

As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Jie walked straight to the huge suitcase placed in the middle of the room.

Xiao Jie bent down, held the suitcase handle tightly with both hands, and lifted it with a little force, and the suitcase slid out obediently for a distance.

Then, Xiao Jie dragged it slowly out of the room, closed the door carefully, and then walked towards where Lu Zhanbo was standing.

"Let's go, Zhanbo. Go back early, otherwise Wanyu will go to Hong Kong." Xiao Jie said as he quickened his pace to meet Lu Zhanbo.

"Don't be in a hurry, Brother Xiao. Wanyu said her flight is in the afternoon." Lu Zhanbo followed slowly behind, muttering to himself.

"It's better to be safe than sorry! It's safer to go back as soon as possible." Xiao Jie insisted.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lu Zhanbo shrugged helplessly, indicating a compromise.

So, Xiao Jie and Lu Zhanbo boarded the vehicle bound for the Zhejiang Branch of the Origin Research Institute and started their return journey.

in the car.

Xiao Jie looked at Lu Zhanbo and asked, "Are you ready to confess your feelings to Wanyu?"

"I thought about it all night last night and decided to write her a love letter." Lu Zhanbo took out a love letter from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Jie.

"love letter?"

Xiao Jie looked at the love letter handed over by Lu Zhanbo with confusion, but did not take it.

"Yes, it's a love letter. Brother Xiao, do you want to take a look?" Lu Zhanbo said, shaking his hand holding the love letter.

"No, this is what you wrote to Wanyu, and she should be the first one to read it. I don't think it's useful." Xiao Jie pushed Lu Zhanbo's hand back and refused.

"After you read it, can you help me revise it?" Lu Zhanbo handed the love letter over again and said.

"Zhanbo, this love letter can be said to be an expression of your sincere friendship to Wanyu. It contains your love for Wanyu. If I read it and help you revise it, then this friendship, this love will not be pure, do you know?" Xiao Jie pushed the love letter over and said earnestly.

"Ok."

This time, Lu Zhanbo did not continue to hand the love letter to Xiao Jie, but seemed to be thinking about something.

"Come on, Zhanbo." Xiao Jie patted Lu Zhanbo on the shoulder encouragingly.

"I will."

Lu Zhanbo put the love letter away and said firmly.

Not long after, the vehicle arrived at the Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Origin branch.

As soon as the car stopped, Xiao Jie couldn't wait to push open the door and walked out, and Lu Zhanbo followed closely behind.

As soon as they got off the train, they both walked quickly towards the maglev train station.

Along the way, Xiao Jie walked quickly while turning his head to Lu Zhanbo beside him and said:

"When maglev train stations are built all over the country in the future, we won't have to travel all the way to the Origin Research Institute branch to take a train home!"

"When can it be realized?" Lu Zhanbo couldn't help but interrupt and ask.

"Well... I estimate we'll have to wait at least another two years, if everything goes well." Xiao Jie replied after thinking for a moment.

"It still takes so long!" Lu Zhanbo couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, obviously a little disappointed.

"Once the Nine Cauldrons are built, we can produce more robots, and then it may be faster." Xiao Jie said.

"That's quite a long time." Lu Zhanbo said, scratching his head.

"It won't take long. We will start construction in seven locations at the same time and it can be easily completed in one or two months!" Xiao Jie guaranteed, patting his chest.

"Not so fast?"

Lu Zhanbo widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"I can believe in one, after all, there are so many people working together, but seven... I really don't dare to think about it."

"Hey, I've been conservative in predicting the time. Maybe a month will be more than enough! Besides, a lot of the work is repetitive, so it can be done efficiently. Plus, there's competition among everyone, so people will definitely be more motivated to work! Zhanbo, don't underestimate people's explosive power. It will definitely surprise you!" Xiao Jie said confidently.

"Well, human power is indeed endless." Lu Zhanbo nodded thoughtfully.

The two soon arrived at the maglev train station.

At this time, many people from the Jiuding Project Team had already arrived.

"Wow, you came quite early. I thought you would go back later." Xiao Jie said, looking at the people in front of him.

"President Xiao, are you going back now too?" someone asked.

Xiao Jie nodded.

"Today is my daughter's birthday, so I want to go back early to celebrate her birthday with her." said a father.

"Then congratulations. I didn't bring any gifts for your child." Xiao Jie said embarrassedly, touching his body.

"President Xiao, you don't have to be so polite. We don't need any gifts." The father quickly refused.

"How can this be possible? After all, his father has made contributions to the country. I have to give a gift to the child." Xiao Jie said firmly.

"Dean Xiao, if you want to give my daughter a gift, you can give her an autograph. My daughter has always admired you." said the father.

"No problem. What's your daughter's name?"

Xiao Jie readily agreed, then took out a piece of paper and asked, "What's your daughter's name?"

"Jiayi."
