For the next few days, the two of them were absorbed in researching and designing national security, from Sky Eye to border defense to interception systems. Everything was submitted in written form, waiting for the higher-ups to hold a meeting and make a decision.
Half a month later, Hua University's summer vacation began. Xia Youyou stayed in the Security Department, and the other three went to Pengcheng.
Xia Youyou protested strongly, but the three men's united front proved ineffective. The small supermarket and the guesthouse hired staff, and the kitchen, led by two cooks, also had two apprentices. This place was already thriving, so there was no reason for Anhai Company to stick to its old ways and just keep the small restaurant and guesthouse profitable. If they wanted to make a fortune, they had to go to Pengcheng.
So Xia Youyou took out all the money she had on her, bought anything suitable she saw, put it into the space and brought it back. This is where the golden finger came in handy.
As for Xia Youyou's money, it naturally belonged to her. The profits from Anhai Restaurant and the guesthouse had already covered all the costs, and the trip to Pengcheng would also cost her the same ten thousand yuan.
So, the three of them took 20,000 yuan and set off for Pengcheng with the construction team.
Xu Zhiqiang knew that they had a company, so he explained the situation when applying for leave and specially approved Qi Siling for two months of leave. The main reason was that the superiors had not made a decision at that time and there was a lot of controversy. Xia Youyou was the only one there to provide some technical advice to the factory, so it was okay if Qi Siling was not there.
Xia Youyou spent every day in the lab, doing boring research, facing circuit boards. When she was tired and wanted to lean on something, she remembered that the people around her had gone to Pengcheng.
The factory that produced the fifth-generation computer was in Beijing, and Xia Youyou would go there whenever she had nothing to do. Seeing the workers welding by hand, she longed for a fully automated production line.
"My dear brother, please hurry up, I want a robotic arm, a fully automatic one!"
She kept repeating in her heart more than once, Cao An is anxious, and she is anxious too!
Fortunately, it was summer now. Xia Youyou wasn't afraid of the heat, but she was afraid of the cold. Without a man to warm her at night, it didn't affect her much. She just prayed she wouldn't leave in winter, otherwise, with the horrible weather in Beijing, it would be a disaster for her.
I could handle it before I got married, but after getting married, I feel uncomfortable without the personal heater.
Xia Youyou in the capital was thinking about Qi Siling, and Qi Siling who was far away in Pengcheng missed her even more. Every night, he could only express his longing by smelling the clothes that fell in his space.
At first, the construction team was just a small-scale operation, following the local construction team to make a living and taking on some small jobs in government office buildings.
That day, the three of them were working under the scorching sun, leading Uncle Wang's team. Suddenly, there was a noise from behind, mixed with some painful groans.
Uncle Wang saw it and said, "It's the pillar! They are hitting the pillar!"
Upon hearing this, Cao An put down the tools in his hands and ran over there, followed closely by Xiao Hai and Qi Siling.
Zhuzi was knocked to the ground, holding his stomach and wailing.
Cao An rushed over and kicked the man who was about to kick the pillar away.
Three strong men walked towards the wall and stood in front of the pillar.
Uncle Wang brought people to prop up the pillar.
Cao An turned around and asked, "Zhu Zi, what's going on?"
"Brother Cao, I just went to the toilet over there. They said it was their territory and they wouldn't let me go there. I argued with them and they beat me up when we disagreed." Zhuzi covered his stomach feeling a little aggrieved. He was the man who asked Xia Youyou about her work injury in the restaurant.
The people over there helped the man who had been kicked to his feet and picked up the steel bars behind him. They were many in number, and the steel bars they picked up were even more imposing.
The three of them looked at each other and knew that today's situation would not end peacefully.
"Uncle Wang, take your men back and leave this to us." Cao An turned around and gave the order, picking up a shovel from the side.
He turned around and gave each of them a cigarette, "Brother, be careful, just don't kill anyone."
Uncle Wang was still a little worried. Zhuzi, who was standing next to him, picked up the carrying pole despite his aching stomach. The others all went to the back to look for handy weapons.
A group of people stood behind the three strong men, and they were not inferior to the dozens of people on the opposite side.
On the messy construction site, two teams were facing each other.
No one knew who rushed first, but a war was about to break out.
The three men struck each one with a stick, leaving the workers standing behind them no chance to fight back. Those rushing towards them fell to the ground at their feet.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the three men put down their sticks, and the ground in front of them was already filled with wailing.
Zhuzi threw down his carrying pole and started shouting excitedly. "Oh!~"
The messy and desolate construction site reminded one of the Anhai Construction Team’s unilateral celebration, and the shouting from the empty construction site could be heard from far away.
Cao An stepped on the body of a small leader and said, "This is our territory now. Do you obey?"
The man gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at the person who stepped on his chest. "Kill me if you dare!"
The man spoke in a difficult-to-understand local dialect, but Cao An could probably still understand him.
At that time, Pengcheng had not yet become a special zone, and they came here just to make a name for themselves and did not want to cause trouble. However, since they were provoked, there was no reason to endure it.
"Why would I kill you? Murder is against the law." He withdrew the force from his foot, stood up straight, and straightened his messy clothes. "Just because we don't cause trouble doesn't mean I'm afraid of you. If you want to test me, come on."
She looked at him fiercely and fiercely, "Get out of here!"
It must be said that when Cao An became ferocious, he looked just like a gangster. The people wailing on the ground quickly stood up and ran back as if they were escaping.
They were all injured to some extent. Those with leg injuries limped and ran slower. They had to look back while running to see if they were catching up.
Xiao Hai was amused by their behavior. "Tsk, you're still here to provoke me like this."
Cao An glanced at him with amusement, then turned back to ask Zhuzi, "Are you injured internally? Go to the hospital."
"No need, Brother Cao, I just got kicked in the stomach. It hurt a little just now, but I'm fine now." Zhuzi quickly waved his hand to show that he was fine.
"Haizi, take him to the hospital on your bike. Just because he doesn't have any injuries on the surface doesn't mean he's okay inside. It'll put your mind at ease." He stopped Zhuzi from saying anything else. "My sister has told you before that health is the capital of revolution. If you don't take care of yourself, no one else will. But since you chose Anhai Company, we can't just leave it alone. Not just you, but all of you."
Cao An's words almost made Zhuzi cry again. He suppressed his tears, nodded and followed Xiao Hai.
The others were also deeply touched and worked even harder.
I thought there would be a follow-up the next day, but after waiting for a few days, there was no movement. Everyone had their own division of labor, and they were doing their own thing, and there were no more provocative behaviors.
It was not until a week later that Cao An and the other two met the real boss.
It was still in the same place, but the only difference from a week ago was that the foundation had been laid.
Cao An looked at the middle-aged man standing at the front opposite him.
The man was shirtless, wearing plastic slippers, with a cigarette dangling from his lips. His slanted eyes looked exactly like the man I saw that day, so I guess they were from the same family.
