Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

"Hey, hey, hey, who are you? This is a state agency. If you don't have anything to do, don't come any closer."

Fang Xiang was standing in front of the gate of the First Ministry of Machine Building. An old man who was guarding the gate stepped past the guards and stopped Fang Xiang.

“Uncle, I am a student of Professor Xu from Shuimu University.

Professor Xu asked me to see Director Yin of the Civil Machinery Department.

You can give Secretary Huang a call and ask.”

Fang Xiang, who was stopped, quickly explained.

"You wait here!"

The gatekeeper looked confused, but it sounded like he was here to see his leader.

He also clearly stated the leader's last name, even though some people were a little skeptical.

But he still went back to the booth and picked up the phone.

Fang Xiang was not in a hurry and just stood outside the sentry box.

I noticed that the guard at the door was holding a Type 56 submachine gun, and I instantly became interested.

He moved closer to the yellow line in front of the guard and looked up and down at the Type 56 submachine gun.

This made the guard standing guard at the door feel a little scared.

He involuntarily clenched the gun in his hand.

But Fang wanted to stand outside the yellow line, and the guards had no reason to warn him.

"Hey, boy, what's your name?"

At this time, a head popped out of the sentry box and asked loudly.

"My last name is Fang, Fang Xiang, and I'm a student of Professor Xu, the vice dean of the School of Engineering at Shuimu University."

Fang Xiang took two steps forward and explained his origins clearly.

The old man repeated what Fang Xiang had just said into the phone.

"Wait here. Go to the back station and don't step on the yellow line."

The old man hung up the phone, but the vigilance and confusion on his face did not diminish.

After a while, Fang Xiang saw a man in his thirties coming out of the office building.

Walked in front of Fang Xiang.

"You are the one arranged by Professor Xu? A student? How old are you?"

The man was wearing a dark blue Mao suit with a pen in his chest pocket.

The buzz cut hairstyle makes the whole person look particularly energetic.

But his eyes were filled with suspicion and scrutiny.

"You are Secretary Huang, right? I am Professor Xu's student.

Professor Xu said that the work at the General Armament Department was booked in advance.

So I don’t have time to come over for now, so let me take a look first.”

Fang Xiang was not afraid of him and told him his origins frankly.

Then I handed over my student ID.

Secretary Huang didn't say anything. He took Fang Xiang's student ID card, opened it and looked at it carefully for a long time.

"Come on, follow me."

They found that there was nothing wrong with the document, but they did not return it to Fang Xiang.

But his eyes turned into confusion.

Fang Xiang didn't say anything and followed Secretary Huang into the office building.

Along the way, he met many staff members, and they all looked at Fang Xiang with curiosity.

After going up to the third floor, walk to the end on the right and you will see Secretary Huang standing in front of a door.

"Wait a mininute."

Secretary Huang gestured to the other party and then knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A deep voice came from inside the door.

Secretary Huang slipped in and did not forget to close the door.

With a "click", the door lock fell.

Fang Xiang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

As for treating me like a thief, you are guarding against me.

Half a minute later, the door opened again.

"Student Fang, please come in."

Secretary Huang half exposed his body and made way for the door.

After Fang wanted to go in, Secretary Huang retreated.

This office is quite big, more than 30 square meters.

There are several single fabric sofas against the west wall, which look a bit old.

There is a marble coffee table in front of the sofa.

Opposite is a whole row of metal cabinets against the north and south walls, filled with densely packed documents.

On the north wall is a large desk that appears to be nearly two meters long.

Sitting behind the desk was a man who looked to be in his fifties.

He was wearing a gray linen Zhongshan suit and had his hair combed back.

He was wearing a pair of black-framed tortoise-shell glasses and holding Fang Xiang's student ID card.

However, his eyes were not on the student ID card. Instead, he was looking at Fang Xiang expressionlessly through the top of his glasses.

"Your name is Fang Xiang? Professor Xu's student?"

The person who was speaking must be Yin Qingqiu's father, Deputy Director Yin.

In response to Deputy Director Yin's questioning, Fang Xiang repeated what he had just said to Secretary Huang.

"Just coming to see? Are you a freshman? A freshman this year?"

After listening to this, Director Yin frowned, looked at the student ID in his hand, and asked another question.

“Your daughter is in such a hurry that it’s hard for Professor Xu to refuse.

So let me take a look and if I can solve it, I will solve it. If I can’t solve it, I will go back.”

Fang Xiang has never encountered a good face since he stood at the entrance of the First Machinery Industry Department.

They clearly begged Professor Xu to come here, so why did they come here on their own and all have such expressions.

Not only are we not allowed to sit down, we are not even offered a cup of hot tea.

Even a clay figure has some fire in it.

I simply pulled out the chair in front of the desk and sat down.

"My girl? Do you know my girl?"

The man in front of him suddenly showed a look of vigilance in his eyes.

"If Yin Qingqiu is your daughter, then I know her."

Fang Xiang became more and more annoyed. What was going on?

"How do you know my girl?"

When Director Yin heard what Fang Xiang said, his expression immediately changed.

From vigilance to scrutiny to doubt.

“I bumped into him when I was drinking with Ji Pengwei.

I said, don't you have anything to do? I asked for leave to come here.

If nothing else, I have to go back to finish my vacation and attend classes.

I have missed a lot of classes recently due to exams, so I don’t have much time to waste.”

Fang Xiang rolled his eyes.

He has been working in technology for many years and has never had a good impression of those in administration.

Seeing that no one is talking about business anymore, I feel a little annoyed.

Director Yin saw Fang Xiang rolled his eyes, but he didn't mind and his expression softened.

"Mr. Zhao? My old Yin, yes."

Here's what's going on. You come to my office with the engine drawings.

Well, now, hurry up."

He reached out and picked up the phone next to him and explained something.

"Don't worry, now that you're here, do you still recognize the second son of the Ji family?"

After Director Yin put down the phone, he asked another question.

"classmate."

Fang Xiang simply uttered two words and was too lazy to continue.

His eyes passed Director Yoon and looked at the window behind him.

I don't know what kind of trees are planted outside.

The leaves on it have all turned yellow and there are not many left.

Most of them were blown away by the wind and no one knows where they went.

Director Yin saw that Fang Xiang had no desire to chat, so he stopped talking.

He pushed the student ID card in front of Fang Xiang, picked up the document that had been placed next to him and started reading it.

Fang wanted to put away his student ID card, knowing that he had to wait for Mr. Zhao.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Director Yin looked up and responded.

"Deputy Director Yin, you're looking for me?"

At the door was an elderly man wearing cloth, with white hair and beard.

Holding a large stack of drawings in his hands.

"Engineer Zhao is here. Put the blueprint on the coffee table and show it to Xiao Fang."

Director Yin pushed up his glasses and greeted them.

"Secretary Huang, go make some tea."

Seeing Secretary Huang at the door, he gave another order.

Mr. Zhao didn't say anything, but just looked at Fang Xiang with curious eyes.

But the movements of his hands were not slow.

The drawings were placed in order on the large coffee table in the reception area.

"Xiao Fang-san?"

After Mr. Zhao put the drawings away, he stood up and looked at Fang Xiang.

But Fang Xiang had already stood up when Mr. Zhao came in.

He came over only after Engineer Zhao put away the drawings.

"Mr. Zhao, please take a seat first. I'll take a look at the blueprint."

Fang thought that this guest was acting like the host and gestured to Mr. Zhao to take a seat.

Then he pulled his chair over.

"Wait! Who are you? This is a state secret, not just anyone can see it!"

Just when Fang Xiang sat down in the chair and prepared to look through the drawings.

However, Mr. Zhao grabbed Fang Xiang's hand.

"Is this the end? Are you going to let me watch it or not?

If you don’t want me to see it, just tell me, I’m leaving now.”

Fang wanted to break free from Engineer Zhao's hand and turned to look at Director Yin.
