Chapter 67: Doubts to be resolved
The setting sun sneaks into the distant mountains, the sky is covered with endless clouds, and a touch of residual red climbs into the clouds and spreads across the sky.
Mr. Xu was walking home slowly with his hands behind his back in the sunset.
Because he was going to the Military Region Research Institute, he had a good talk with the leader of the factory that hired him. Once he entered the Military Region Research Institute, he would not be able to run around easily.
The main thing is that he is an old man and it is not easy for him to go back and forth.
When he slowly returned home and just stepped over the threshold, he heard the phone ringing upstairs.
Mr. Xu opened the door, then went upstairs and entered the study. The phone was still ringing. He had been thinking that if he hung up, he could call back to check.
It’s strange that he didn’t hang up for so long. I don’t know who the call was from?
Could it be an old woman in the old city?
He guessed that it was not the case, and answered the phone, saying, "Hello? Who is this?"
"Finally it worked. Mr. Xu, it's me, He Jianqi."
This was not the first call He Jianqi made, but it made him anxious. Mr. Xu did not answer the previous three calls. He Jianqi almost thought that Mr. Xu had been murdered by the enemy!
He was so scared that he almost called the army.
Mr. Xu heard the anxiety in his tone and couldn't help asking:
"What happened? What? Did the weapons experiment go wrong?"
"I have modified the drawings you gave me last time, but I don't know if they will be successful. I was planning to find a time to send them to you. Are you here to rush me?"
"no!"
He Jianqi said quickly,
"The blueprints have been moved by spies! They may have been stolen. Mr. Xu, you still can't keep it secret. Your identity must have been leaked. You should come to the military district."
Mr. Xu was startled. Hearing what he said, he quickly said:
"Wait a minute, I'll go check it out, has anyone touched it?"
He quickly took the key and opened the locked cabinet. It was exactly the same as when he put it in. How could anyone have touched it?
Moreover, in order to keep it confidential, he even broke down the drawings into pieces and drew them on different papers, with each paper covering a small part.
More importantly, he did not draw the core, which is the most important part, on the drawing. This is the part that needs to be drawn at the research institute. He had already made a draft and drew it once, and then burned it immediately.
As a senior researcher at the Sijiucheng Research Institute, how could Mr. Xu not know that it should be kept confidential?
In addition, he was not in the research institute, which naturally made it more dangerous. Fortunately, his identity had definitely not been exposed in Province F.
After the inspection, Mr. Xu took the phone and said:
"My own blueprints have never been touched. How could I not know about them? Do you really think I'm a young man who has never experienced the world and can't even keep it secret?"
He Jianqi didn't quite believe it: "Really, no one has touched it?"
Mr. Xu thought that he was doubting his professionalism as a researcher. How could he not take confidentiality seriously?
"Of course no one has touched it. Haven't you seen my blueprints? Even if someone has taken them or copied them, they won't be able to get the core technology!"
He Jianqi thought about the drawings he had gotten from Mr. Xu, and it was indeed true.
Moreover, Mr. Xu would not only draw useful things on his drawings, but also some useless things as a sleight of hand. This was to ensure confidentiality and prevent the drawings from being stolen and leaked.
He Jianqi asked directly: "Then Mr. Xu, have you designed a new fighter jet?"
After hearing him being silent for a long time, Mr. Xu thought he was going to hang up the phone, but then the other party said this again. Mr. Xu was immediately puzzled and said:
"What the hell?"
This reaction...
He Jianqi always feels like he is familiar with it?
When Commander Xie called him before, he seemed to have said the same thing?
He Jianqi had a vague feeling that the new fighter jet might just be a mistake?
He explained the situation and then said:
"Mr. Xu, if you haven't designed a new fighter, then this may be a mistake on the part of the military. We'll see what the result is. It would be good if we can catch the spy."
Mr. Xu felt that it might not be a mistake, but he just didn't know where the design of the new fighter jet came from.
"Okay, this is no small matter. By the way, since you called me, I don't have to call you again."
"Can your research institute still accept an old man like me? If so, I really want to go over there and sit for a while and tinker with some stuff."
Although this might be a farce, He Jianqi still wanted to invite Mr. Xu to the research institute. After all, the research institute is safer and more confidential.
He was thinking about how to persuade Mr. Xu, but he didn't expect Mr. Xu to say just a few words.
From what Mr. Xu said, it seems that he wants to come to the research institute! !
He Jianqi didn't expect that Mr. Xu, who had not been moved by anything he said in the previous times, would take the initiative to come to the research institute today.
He immediately smiled happily.
"What do you mean by accepting or not accepting it, Mr. Xu? Are you deliberately trying to humiliate me? As long as you are willing to come, our military region research institute will definitely welcome you. Then I will prepare a research room for you. Mr. Xu, if you need any research materials, we can discuss it in detail when you arrive at the research institute. I have taken care of everything for you, and I will pick you up in two days."
When Mr. Xu heard that he arranged it so quickly, he was just about to say something polite and say that there was no need to be too anxious. After all, the Military Region Research Institute had called him several times before, but he didn't go. This time, He Jianqi was troubled. The key point was that he didn't want to do something, he just wanted to make it easier for Ye Mu.
"Wait a minute..."
As soon as Mr. Xu opened his mouth, He Jianqi interrupted him, fearing that Mr. Xu would change his mind:
"What are you waiting for? This matter cannot wait. Mr. Xu, please arrange other things in the next two days. In two days at most, the young comrades in the hospital and I will pick you up. That's it for today. I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first."
Then, He Jianqi hung up the phone and went out happily to arrange the laboratory that Mr. Xu needed.
Mr. Xu held the phone and scolded with a smile:
"Human spirit!"

After the sun went down and the sky turned cloudy, Ye Mu put the book back in the room and went downstairs to find Qian Huanhuan. In fact, Qian Huanhuan was about to go upstairs after walking around for a while.
But she remembered that Ye Mu said he would come downstairs to help her, so she walked around for a while longer, waiting for Ye Mu to come down.
Now that someone finally showed up, Qian Huanhuan took Ye Mu's hand without hesitation and said:
"I'm a little tired from walking. Let's go upstairs. We've been waiting for you for a long time."
Ye Mu nodded and helped her walk towards the family building. It felt a little easier to have someone to support her, and most importantly, he felt happy.
Qian Huanhuan couldn't help but talk about the children playing near the family building, and then said:
"Do you know what I saw when I was walking around here just now?"
Seeing that she had a strong desire to share and her eyes were full of excitement, Ye Mu asked, "What?"
Qian Huanhuan immediately revealed a gossipy look, and scanned Ye Mu with her eyes and said:
"You've just been here for a short time. Do you know Wu Yueying?"
Then she didn't wait for Ye Mu to answer, she said:
"Before Captain Song got married, everyone in the military region thought that Wu Yueying and Captain Song would be a couple sooner or later."
"Don't be angry when I say this. I don't think Wu Yueying and Captain Song are a couple. They are not a good match at all. Moreover, it is Wu Yueying who is always pestering Captain Song. I have even heard Captain Song reject Wu Yueying. That person is really impossible to get rid of."
"Just before you came down, I was walking around and saw Wu Yueying. Wu Yueying used to like running to the family building just to run into Captain Song. She is better at talking than me. You definitely don't know what kind of person Wu Yueying is."
"I have to remind you of this. Wu Yueying is best at using other people's shortcomings to please them, and then taking advantage of their strengths. She is more talkative than the matchmaker in our village. No matter how bad-tempered a military wife is, she will definitely make her lose the ability to tell east from west, south from east, west from west, or where the sun rises and where the moon sets after a few words to her."
The gossipy person suddenly became melancholy, and sighed to Ye Mu sincerely, with a sad face, and said:
"If I had Wu Yueying's mouth, I wouldn't have been bullied when I first came to the army. People who are disliked by her are miserable. I'm just afraid that she will be at odds with you because of Captain Song, then you will definitely be bullied to death by her, and you will also be accompanied by a bunch of sisters-in-law who are not in their right minds."
Qian Huanhuan was really worried. When she thought of that scene, she felt strongly empathy for Ye Mu now. Then she thought of herself when she first arrived, and she felt even more unhappy and uncomfortable.
