After chatting for a few more words, Ma Guoliang took Lin Wan and Tai Wei away. Before leaving, he asked Xu Jianguo to go directly to the headquarters to find him later and go to the 523 Institute with him.
Xu Jianguo agreed and together with Wen Sitian, they escorted the three people out of the courtyard.
Back in the living room, Xu Jianguo didn't shy away from the three girls. He hugged Wen Sitian and kissed her a few times, which made her pretty face blush and she slapped him in annoyance.
When the three girls saw that their sister-in-law was shy, they immediately stretched out a finger and scratched their little faces a few times, giggling.
Wen Sitian glared at the three of them, then sat down on the sofa. Xu Jianguo walked over, took her left hand, and felt her pulse.
"How is it?" Wen Sitian asked nervously.
"I'm fine! Full of energy!" Xu Jianguo said with a grin.
When Wen Sitian heard this, she patted her chest and felt relieved.
"Wife, your physical fitness is better than many male soldiers. Don't worry, just make sure you are in a good mood!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Yeah, I know!" Wen Sitian said with a smile.
After the two of them stayed together for a while, Xu Jianguo left home and walked towards the headquarters.
After waiting at the headquarters entrance for a while, Tai Wei came over in a jeep.
Ma Guoliang sat in the back seat, opened the window and said, "Jianguo, get in the car!"
Xu Jianguo agreed, opened the passenger door and sat in.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Jianguo and two other people arrived at the 523 Institute.
Downstairs in the office building, Ma Guoliang stopped and said to Xu Jianguo, "Jianguo, go wait in the small workshop first. I'll come find you after the meeting with them. This will also save those people from holding a grudge against you when I start firing."
When Xu Jianguo heard this, he immediately felt happy and nodded quickly, saying, "Okay, Chief!"
After the few people separated, Xu Jianguo walked towards his small workshop.
In the conference room of the 523 Institute, all the researchers and workshop team leaders on duty at the institute have arrived and are waiting for Ma Guoliang's arrival.
"Old Lin, have you heard? Xu Jianguo, who came to our institute a while ago, single-handedly created two new guns, one of which is a sniper rifle."
"How come I haven't heard about it? The workshop is about to explode because of this!"
"Exploded? What do you mean?"
"What's the point? When Xu Jianguo first arrived, Shi Zhen simply threw him into the bungalow in the backyard and fixed two outdated machines. The second and fifth shifts were idle at the time, but they used the excuse that the institute was too busy and didn't assign a single worker to them. What could have been an honor was ruined by Shi. Do you think the people under the second and fifth shifts wouldn't be furious?"
"Fuck, there's such a thing? This Shi guy is such a piece of shit!"
"For the sake of a deputy director position, he's disregarded national interests. Our director doesn't even know about this. If he finds out when he returns, Shi will definitely be in big trouble!"
"I had a chance to show myself in front of the leader, but now..."
Just as everyone was sitting there whispering, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and Ma Guoliang walked in with Tai Wei.
Seeing this, everyone stood up immediately. After Ma Guoliang sat down in the main seat, they said, "Sit down!"
"I called everyone to a meeting today because there are a few things that need to be discussed."
"Have all the team leaders arrived?"
"Team one is here, team two is here, team three..." As soon as Ma Guoliang finished speaking, the six team leaders began to count.
After they finished speaking, Ma Guoliang nodded and continued, "Everyone knows about Comrade Xu Jianguo's gun-making a few days ago, right?"
“I know…I know…”
"Okay, Comrade Xu Jianguo currently has several new R&D projects that have been approved by the higher-ups. According to his request, one person will be assigned from each team to assist with the development of these new projects. Team leaders, please submit the names to me after the meeting and report to the small workshop in the backyard tomorrow morning."
"In addition, in order to ensure the normal operation of each workshop of the institute, it is required that the personnel selected are mainly apprentices!" Ma Guoliang emphasized.
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion in the conference room.
"A new project so soon?"
"Where on earth did this great god Xu Jianguo come from?"
"I don't know, but I heard he's very young."
"Young or old doesn't matter. What matters is that they only want apprentices. It's obvious that they don't trust the veterans in our institute!"
"Damn it, it's all that Shi guy's fault!"
Ma Guoliang looked at the people whispering below, then looked at Shi Zhen, whose face was livid as he sat to his left, and said, "Alright, let's hurry up. If you want to discuss something, you can do it later!"
As soon as the words fell, the conference room fell silent.
"Director Shi, I would like to ask about the current work status of the six teams. Please tell me briefly!" Ma Guoliang said to Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen was startled, but after calming himself down, he said, "Currently, Team One..."
After Shi Zhen finished speaking, Ma Guoliang continued to ask: "That means Class 2 and Class 5 are idle, right?"
Shi Zhen's forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat, and he said, "Yes!"
"When did these two teams finish their last project?" Ma Guoliang continued to ask.
"Yes, it was... the 28th of last month!" Shi Zhen said with a trembling voice.
Ma Guoliang looked at him, his face turned ashen, and then he slapped the conference table hard, scaring everyone present.
Shi Zhen, who was originally standing there, was so scared that he sat down on the chair, and then quickly stood up.
"Director Shi, I want to ask you, when did Xu Jianguo report to the institute? At that time, the second and fifth shifts were clearly vacant, so why did you lie and say there were no staff? Why did you ask someone to watch outside the workshop? You would rather let the advanced machines in the two workshops sit idle than assign them to Xu Jianguo. What are you thinking? Is this how you treat your revolutionary comrades? Who gave you the right to do this?!" Ma Guoliang asked several questions in a row, leaving Shi Zhen speechless.
Looking at the furious base commander in front of him, Shi Zhen was trembling all over. He opened his mouth to explain, but no words came out.
The other people in the meeting room, including the two team leaders who had participated in sending people to monitor this matter, were now pale and trembling like sieves.
Seeing that Shi Zhen couldn't utter a word, Ma Guoliang called out behind him, "Tai Wei!"
"arrive!"
"Call the Military Affairs Department and have them take the man away and investigate thoroughly!"
"Yes!" After Tai Wei agreed, he turned around, opened the door of the conference room and walked out.
