64: A friendly cooperation unit of the Navy? Military fans are going crazy!

Chapter 64: A Navy Friendly Collaboration Unit? Military Enthusiasts Are Going Wild!

"I'll take that as your agreement. I'll gather all the technicians tomorrow morning, and we can have a thorough discussion, alright?" Wang Zizhong said seriously.

"Uncle Wang, you arrange it."

Lu Shenwei was too curious about what plaque the Navy would deliver to pay any attention to Wang Zizhong's ramblings.

No matter how difficult the agricultural vehicle problem was to solve, wasn't there always the system as a backup?

The news of Lu Shenwei's return spread quickly through Julong Steel.

"The Chairman is finally back. I heard he even received a plaque from the Navy."

"What plaque? 'Home of a First-Class Meritorious Service'?"

"Not that extreme, but it's definitely an honor."

"With the Chairman back, Director Ma can finally rest. He's getting on in years; he seems to have aged noticeably just in these past few days."

While the workers buzzed with excitement, Lu Shenwei, accompanied by Ma Quanlin and a few others, returned to his office.

He had barely settled into his office chair when Zhou Wen's call came through.

"You're finally back, kid. I'm about to be driven crazy by the Publicity Bureau."

Listening to Zhou Wen's complaints, Lu Shenwei chuckled. "I heard the director of the Publicity Bureau is a woman. Does Director Zhou owe her a favor?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't. It's purely a favor between colleagues."

Zhou Wen hurriedly defended himself, but Lu Shenwei didn't believe a single word.

If there wasn't something going on, would the esteemed Director Zhou go to such lengths to help a woman?

"You set a time in a couple of days. I'll bring Zhou Cun along."

Zhou Cun was quick-witted and more suited to training the younger staff at the Publicity Bureau.

"Then it's settled. Don't change the time again."

Zhou Wen repeatedly emphasized, and Lu Shenwei kept agreeing.

After hanging up with Zhou Wen, Wang Jiawei from Nifeng Express called.

"Chairman Lu has been in the limelight quite a bit lately."

When Wang Jiawei saw the information his secretary presented yesterday, his head started spinning.

Lu Shenwei had actually taken a group photo with the Aircraft Carrier Commander and other big shots, forcing Wang Jiawei to reassess Julong Steel's capabilities.

Those invited to the sea trials of the aircraft carrier guangyu silent were all major figures in their own right.

Back then, Wang Jiawei had tried to pull some strings, even offering 30 million for an invitation, but no one paid him any mind.

Lu Shenwei was no simple man. Not only did he attend the carrier's sea trials, but he also managed to stand in the center for the group photo.

Wang Jiawei racked his brains but couldn't figure out what virtue or ability Lu Shenwei possessed to earn such an honor.

"You flatter me, President Wang. Are you asking about the progress of the unmanned transport aircraft? It should yield results in about six more months."

Lu Shenwei thought for a moment before replying, but Wang Jiawei indicated he wasn't in a hurry.

"Then what is President Wang's call about today?"

"Nothing much, just to say hello. Let's get together sometime."

Lu Shenwei was also a billionaire. They moved in the same circles and should chat more often.

But Wang Jiawei had no idea that Lu Shenwei's mind was currently completely occupied with figuring out how to get 10 billion.

"Sure, I'll trouble you to arrange it. Introduce me to a few more clients," Lu Shenwei said with a chuckle.

After a bit more small talk, Wang Jiawei agreed to introduce Lu Shenwei to some big names in the Dragon Xia wealthy circle another day, and the call ended.

"President, what did Director Lu say?" the secretary immediately asked.

Last month, Nifeng Express applied to launch a small drone delivery service but was rejected by air traffic control authorities citing safety concerns.

Wang Jiawei had been running himself ragged these past few days trying to pull strings and smooth things over.

"Don't let his youth fool you. Lu Shenwei's words are impeccably measured," Wang Jiawei mused.

"Should we just come out and say it directly?"

"Lu Shenwei is meticulous. Our relationship isn't familiar enough to make such a request casually. Let's wait a bit longer."

Nifeng Express had already purchased two thousand small unmanned transport aircraft specifically for single-item deliveries.

If the authorities would approve opening the air routes, it would significantly save on transportation capacity, increasing Nifeng Express's annual gross revenue by at least 20%.

While Wang Jiawei was running himself ragged, Lu Shenwei and Ma Quanlin welcomed the plaque delivered by the Navy with great fanfare, complete with gongs and drums.

And this scene happened to be witnessed by Bai Xiaoying, who was passing by.

"Folks, look what Xiao Ying has found! Something's happening at Julong Steel," Bai Xiaoying said excitedly.

[Holy crap? Gongs and drums? A meritorious service plaque?]

[Xiao Ying, Julong Steel is a confidential unit. Is it okay for you to livestream at their doorstep?]

[The person above probably doesn't know the relationship between Xiao Ying and Director Lu. Understand the weight of being Director Lu's wife?]

[Don't derail the topic. Xiao Ying, hold the camera steady. Let's see what sign Julong Steel is putting up.]

"Folks, buckle up! Xiao Ying is about to floor it!"

Bai Xiaoying raised her phone towards the main gate of Julong Steel. Grandpa Liu, quick as lightning, immediately stepped in front of the lens.

"Young lady, go livestream somewhere else. No filming allowed here."

Grandpa Liu received a confidentiality allowance and had undergone proper training. His awareness of secrecy was extremely strong.

[This old man has quite the presence. He's no ordinary fellow.]

[The floor-sweeping monk of Julong Steel? Single-handedly intercepting Xiao Ying's brand of reckless driving.]

"Grandpa, I know your Director Lu," Bai Xiaoying said, trying to cozy up.

Grandpa Liu looked skeptical. "You know Director Lu? Call him right now and let me hear it."

In the past six months, Grandpa Liu had seen it all: ordinary citizens, patriots, traitors, rebels—you name it.

Those with a good attitude were allowed to take photos at the gate; those with a bad attitude were directly shooed away.

[The old man has strong vigilance. Truly worthy of being the gatekeeper of Julong Steel.]

[Stop teasing. I heard this old man gets nearly ten thousand a month just for guarding the gate.]

[Damn it! I, a proud civil engineering dog, mixing concrete on-site, only get five thousand a month.]

[Tears. The 'college student Worse than a dog' series strikes again.]

Bai Xiaoying then dialed Lu Shenwei's number, never expecting that Lu Shenwei was actually not far away.

"What brings you here, Miss Bai?" Lu Shenwei waved.

[Holy shit! One call, and Director Lu is summoned on the spot.]

[Is Xiao Ying here today to demand an explanation? Why didn't you take me to the aircraft carrier sea trials?]

[Xiao Ying probably doesn't have the guts for that. Director Lu has Navy connections now.]

Bai Xiaoying softened her voice and said seriously, "Just passing by. Director Lu, what are you all busy with?"

[The goofy host instantly transforms into an obedient girl. Xiao Ying's face-changing skill is maxed out!]

[I'm about to die laughing. Is Xiao Ying not stirring up trouble anymore?]

"One moment."

Lu Shenwei turned around to ask the Navy personnel if hanging the plaque could be made public. After receiving confirmation, he said, "The Navy is putting up a plaque. A collaboration unit."

[Eureka! I've spotted something!]

[The Navy putting up a plaque, caught live by Xiao Ying? Holy crap! This livestream has some juicy stuff today!]

"This isn't classified, is it?"

Bai Xiaoying shook her phone, indicating she was still livestreaming.

"It's fine to film. Positive publicity," Lu Shenwei said with a smile.

With Lu Shenwei's permission, Bai Xiaoying immediately pointed her camera at the busy workers.

The workers were seen setting up a ladder and hanging a rectangular golden-lettered sign above the main gate of Julong Steel.

[Dragon Xia Navy Friendly Collaboration Unit??? What's going on?]

[I knew Julong Steel had Navy connections when I saw the group photo. Are they not even pretending now? Just revealing it outright?]

[Navy Friendly Collaboration Unit. My goodness, there aren't many of those in Dragon Xia.]
