Chapter 114 Surprise

A guard came in and whispered something in Commander Tang's ear.

Commander Tang looked towards the door in surprise, tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, glanced at Su Meng, and then said calmly, "Let them in."

The conference room door opened, and Cheng Wangshu, dressed in a suit and exuding an elegant demeanor, stood by the door with a smile on her lips.

He glanced around casually, his gaze immediately locking onto Su Meng. The corners of his mouth curved into a wider smile, and he nodded slightly.

Su Meng smiled and nodded politely, wondering why he had come to attend this meeting.

Is it also because of the diesel engine, or is it about building the factory?

But on that day, Commander Tang and A-Da had already privately agreed that their factory, ostensibly funded by national financial allocations and with land and manpower provided by the military region, was actually funded entirely by A-Da on his own initiative.

Just as she was lost in thought, a familiar scent of cologne wafted into her nostrils, startling her back to reality.

Cheng Wangshu stood beside her with a cool and aloof demeanor, as natural as a pine or cypress, and greeted everyone politely and respectfully.

He exuded a gentle aura, unlike his stern and cold demeanor when facing his subordinates, yet his presence was undeniable.

Like a spring breeze turning into water, it is a warm and natural intimacy.

Huo Zhenhua frowned unhappily, as if he wanted to say something.

He pulled out a chair for himself and greeted Su Meng familiarly, "Comrade Su Meng, how are you feeling?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhenhua's words caught in his throat, unable to come out or come back down. His Adam's apple protruded like a chicken bone, sliding up and down with difficulty under his skin.

The fingers that were caressing the lighter suddenly tightened, and the knuckles turned white.

His tightly pursed lips showed his extreme displeasure, and his gaze toward Cheng Wangshu was like a knife, clanging and banging all the way, as if he wanted to... kill the coveter.

This guy is still up to his old tricks!

Perhaps we should let him teach him a lesson in three moves, or... investigate his past and warn him.

At that moment, he acted with the same directness and impulsiveness as a three-year-old child eagerly wanting to protect their beloved toy.

Su Meng glanced subtly at Huo Zhenhua, whose breathing had changed, and smiled politely at Cheng Wangshu, "Thank you, Comrade Cheng, it's almost done!"

Ever since A-Da explained the Zhou family's history to her, she has remained willing to treat Dr. Cheng, who loves medicine, as a friend.

However, she kept her distance from the head of the Zhou family.

She just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life.

Cheng Wangshu was a quick-witted person. Seeing that Su Meng was unwilling to talk much, and given that they were at a high-level military meeting, after hearing what she said, he simply smiled and said, "That's good!"

Subsequently, the Southeast Military Region also put the establishment of a small diesel engine factory on the agenda.

"The parts needed for this batch of diesel engines will be manufactured entirely by the Shanghai Machinery Factory." Commander Tang looked at A'da, "Comrade Su, you are familiar with the Shanghai Machinery Factory, so why don't you personally supervise the process? Is that alright?"

Ah Da never expected to be valued by Commander Tang, and immediately made a pledge: "I will definitely complete the mission!"

He was planning to go back to Shanghai to look for Su Meng's younger brother.

Cheng Wangshu, who had been silent all along, raised a different opinion: "Commander Tang, why go to such lengths instead of seeking what is near?"

"Isn't there an existing machinery factory in our Zhou City?"

Before he could finish speaking, Chief Jiang scoffed coldly: "Your city of Zhou needs a thorough overhaul, otherwise you won't even know if someone steals your secrets one day."

Cheng Wangshu fell silent.

The reason Su Meng got into trouble at his factory this time was due to internal strife within the family, coupled with enemy agents taking advantage of the situation.

He stopped insisting and instead brought up the issue of funding, saying, "I happen to know a friend who has a brand-new foreign diesel engine production line that he's stuck with."

How about I act as a go-between and get him to sell us that 1.2 million yuan piece of equipment for only 350,000 yuan?

When he said that, everyone understood perfectly well.

Cheng Wangshu wanted to donate a production line worth over a million yuan, but for safety reasons, it was sold for only 350,000 yuan.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.

Commander Tang stood up in surprise. "Comrade Cheng, are you serious?"

Cheng Wangshu remained calm and composed. "Really! I guarantee I'll handle this matter properly."

Moreover, this is Comrade Su Meng's first research project, and we must give it our full support.

Huo Zhenhua frowned deeply as he looked at Cheng Wangshu, who was full of vigor and smiling calmly.

He so easily took out a million to support Su Meng, as casually and nonchalantly as an ordinary person giving a child a dollar to buy candy.

At this moment, Huo Zhenhua felt envious, jealous, helpless, and even a little inferior.

Even if he didn't eat or drink and risked his life in the midst of gunfire, he couldn't earn a million.

He... could not support Su Meng with the same financial resources as Cheng Wangshu.

I'm ashamed!

self-abasement!

But we will not back down.

He clenched his fist, the metal lighter twisting and deforming in his palm, making a faint "crunching" sound.

Su Meng looked up in surprise, and after a moment's thought, she understood what Cheng Wangshu meant.

In this way, he would have the status of an investor, which would allow him to freely enter and exit the soon-to-be-built diesel engine factory.

Perhaps they want to spend more time with themselves.

However, she only felt a deep connection with Dr. Cheng when it came to medical topics.

He did not want to have too much contact with Cheng Wangshu, the head of the Cheng family.

She was about to speak when Huo Zhenhua stood up.

He smiled and looked at Cheng Wangshu, "Comrade Cheng is truly a timely help!"

We built the diesel engine factory not just because of Xiaomeng's research project.

Instead, the goal is to maximize the potential of everyone and everything in the military district.

The military region should be self-sufficient and not become a burden on the country.

Thank you, Comrade Cheng, for your selfless and generous assistance!

He was the first to applaud, and it was with utmost sincerity.

But his use of "Xiao Meng" undoubtedly revealed to everyone that his relationship with Su Meng was extraordinary.

This also separated the diesel engine factory from Su Meng.

Cheng Wangshu provided support for a diesel engine production line, which was intended to support the construction of the military region, not to assist Su Meng alone.

Commander Tang smiled and raised an eyebrow, giving Huo Zhenhua a reproachful glare. "Comrade Cheng's contributions to the development and construction of Zhou City are evident to all."

Thank you, Comrade Cheng, for once again extending a helping hand to the development of our military region.

Cheng Wangshu kept smiling as he looked at Huo Zhenhua and Commander Tang, who had flattered him to the point of ruin.

After they finished speaking, he said calmly, "Commander Tang, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

However, I hope that no matter how diesel engines are innovated and improved in the future, our Zhoushi Shipyard will be able to have the right to purchase the first batch of diesel engines.

By exchanging one million for the priority right to purchase diesel engines for each new generation, he could still be among the first to possess the most advanced diesel engines.

It can still lead the industry.

He didn't lose out!

Su Meng was initially somewhat surprised by his actions.

But from a businessman's perspective, one can't help but admire him immensely.

He truly deserves to be the head of the Cheng family!

sharp!

In this way, everyone got what they needed after the meeting, and everyone was happy.

Ah Da had only rested for one night at home when he returned to Shanghai with Chief Jiang the next day.

Commander Tang also hurriedly divided up the abandoned old barracks and ordered the logistics department to immediately start the construction of the factory area.

Su Meng accompanied Su Mianzhi and, together with the person in charge appointed by Commander Tang, planned the factory area and listed the necessary machinery and equipment.

Everyone was working with great enthusiasm.

Everything proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner.
