Liu Xiuxiu said, "No problem, but our work hasn't been resolved yet. Squad leader, you won't abandon us, will you?"
Xu Xiaoya said, "If you don't mind, you can go to Jiayuan Investment Company first to see which aspect of the work you are better at. After you are familiar with the environment and settled down, you can be assigned to a branch company."
Dong Zhibo was overjoyed: "Really? Squad leader, don't let us get our hopes up for nothing."
Xu Xiaoya emphasized, "The key is to have talent, otherwise there's nothing I can do."
Zhong Dayuan said, "Let's go upstairs first. We can talk about this over dinner. What kind of behavior is it to stand at the door?"
Zhao Qiang followed behind Xu Xiaoya with his head down. Someone passed by him and bumped into him. Zhao Qiang looked up and chuckled, "I'm starting to suspect that you're following me."
It turned out to be Yang Shiyun. There were two middle-aged men and women with her, who should be Yang Shiyun's parents, that is, Yang Shiqi's parents.

Volume 2 [621] Blind Date
[621] Blind Date
Yang Shiyun was also a little surprised, "Why did you come here?" In her opinion, Zhao Qiang didn't like going to this kind of place.
Zhao Qiang said, "It's a class reunion." There have been so many opportunities to eat out lately.
Yang Shiyun nodded. She was a cold and aloof person who didn't like to talk much. She smiled at Xu Xiaoya and then followed her parents into the hotel. Yang's parents glanced at Zhao Qiang but didn't say anything. Just as Zhao Qiang was about to greet them, they turned around and left.
Zhao Qiang thought with a hint of resentment, "You guys ignore me? I'll just stick to my guns and sleep with you. Not only will I seduce your daughter, but I'll also seduce your second daughter when I get the chance, making you regret it."
In fact, Zhao Qiang had no feelings for Yang Shiyun. This was purely out of revenge against Yang's father. When he went to Yang's house as a guest, Yang's father was not only not present to greet him, but he didn't even say a word. It was really hurtful.
Zhong Dayuan asked Zhao Qiang, "Do you know each other?" He was referring to Yang Shiyun.
Zhao Qiang asked, "You know her too?"
Zhong Dayuan shook his head: "I just feel that she is very beautiful, but she is a bit cold."
Zhao Qiang smiled and stopped mentioning Yang Shiyun. Everyone went into the room one by one. Recently, Zhao Qiang had been eating at public places frequently, and he was quite familiar with these places. He figured out the pattern and realized that high-end places were nothing special.
Xu Xiaoya was an absolute master at setting the mood, and with the men and women at the table, the conversation flowed smoothly. Zhao Qiang wanted to join in but didn't have much in common. After listening for a while, he excused himself to go to the restroom and slipped out. Wang Meng was smoking by the door, and the other bodyguards were scattered around.
With a creak, another person emerged from a room further away. Zhao Qiang glanced at the room and saw it was Yang Shiyun. He ignored her; it was best not to try to be friendly with a cold woman, or he would definitely be the one who got the short end of the stick. However, if he played hard to get, this tactic would most likely work.
Yang Shiyun glanced at him, and after seeing Zhao Qiang, she slowly walked over. There was a row of benches in the corridor, and she sat there looking at Zhao Qiang. Zhao Qiang felt embarrassed by her staring, so she could only walk over.
Yang Shiyun said, "Why didn't you bring my sister along?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Today is a class reunion, and your sister doesn't fit in with these friends."
Yang Shiyun said, "You are not allowed to show favoritism."
Zhao Qiang said, "Don't worry, it won't happen."
Yang Shiyun said, "My parents are inside. Aren't you going in to offer them a toast?"
Zhao Qiang shook his head: "There's no need. I don't like doing things that would humiliate me."
Yang Shiyun said, "How will you know you're just asking for trouble if you don't even try?"
Zhao Qiang smiled but did not answer. Theoretically speaking, the Yang family should be trying to win him over, but he didn't know if it was because he had dated Yang Shiqi or because of his low social status, but in any case, they had never liked him from the beginning.
“You have a very professional understanding of aircraft, and I would like to ask you a few questions,” Yang Shiyun said. It turned out that she had come out with a purpose.
Zhao Qiang sat down next to Yang Shiyun. "You mean those man-portable flying devices in Africa?"
Yang Shiyun said, "I have disassembled its structure, but I cannot recreate its anti-gravity device."
With the Yang family's power, it wouldn't be difficult to get one back for disassembly and research. Zhao Qiang said, "I can teach you."
Yang Shiyun's face lit up with a smile: "Really?"
Zhao Qiang said, "Why would I need to lie to you?"
Yang Shiyun grabbed Zhao Qiang's hand: "Then explain the principle to me first."
Zhao Qiang didn't hold back, explaining the principle of the anti-gravity device to Yang Shiyun in detail. Yang Shiyun listened and nodded, occasionally saying "oh" and pouting cutely. Sometimes she would bite her lip and ponder deeply. Zhao Qiang's design concept was somewhat whimsical, but it was definitely practical. As for why Yang Shiyun couldn't replicate it, it was entirely because several important components were manufactured by Zhao Qiang using energy, which was impossible with Earth's current productivity.
Yang Shiyun said, "The power supply uses S-class batteries that you haven't mass-produced for the country. Why don't you just have the military factory produce S-class batteries? Based on my observation of the military factory, upgrading the equipment shouldn't be difficult for you now."
Zhao Qiang said, "I don't think it's necessary to be so proactive. Don't offer your enthusiasm to someone who doesn't reciprocate."
Yang Shiyun said, "Are you complaining about how unfairly the country treats you?"
Zhao Qiang remained silent. In fact, he wasn't complaining about the country's unfair treatment of him; he was complaining about the Yang family. The military factory had always been managed by the Yang family, and Zhao Qiang had provided them with a large amount of advanced equipment. However, he hadn't expected the Yang family to treat him so coldly. Did they really think that Zhao Qiang had to rely on them? Naturally, Zhao Qiang was indignant.
Yang Shiyun sighed: "Okay, I know you have your own ideas. S-grade batteries are indeed not suitable for production at this time, but production-grade batteries are always an option. Currently, the largest production volume is *-grade, while A*-grade is still limited, which is an obstacle to the upgrading and promotion of military products."
Zhao Qiang asked, "Why are you so enthusiastic about this?"
Yang Shiyun said, "Because my parents mentioned this before."
Zhao Qiang shook his head: "The 168 Military Factory already has the capacity to produce high-performance batteries, but I will not allow it to produce them. In addition, the production of 'g' matter will be reduced by half in the near future."
Yang Shiyun was somewhat surprised: "How can this be? Many weapons now use 'g' substances. If you reduce production, it will be extremely detrimental to the development of the country's military industry."
Zhao Qiang snorted and didn't answer. Yang Shiyun immediately guessed why Zhao Qiang did this. In fact, it wasn't just because of the Yang family. Zhao Qiang was also dissatisfied with the Wang family's actions. If he were to provide a lot of aid to the country at this time, he would be unwilling even if he received the reward. Since they wanted to deal with him, then so be it. Zhao Qiang would never back down.
Yang Shiyun changed the subject: "Let's not talk about the battery. But I don't understand how you managed to manufacture the core components of the anti-gravity device. You know better than I do, even the precision technology of the United States and Germany cannot meet the requirements of an anti-gravity device. At most, they can produce a defective product, which may not even work. Moreover, without 'g' matter as support, even if it could barely work, it would shatter immediately. In what kind of environment did you produce them?"
Zhao Qiang asked, "Do you really want to know?"
Yang Shiyun nodded: "Of course I want to."
Zhao Qiang said, "Then let me see through you first."
Yang Shiyun asked in confusion, "You can see through me? You wouldn't be so despicable as to see through my body, would you?"
Zhao Qiang blushed: "I didn't mean to, but I really can't see through your body. Can you give me a reason?"
Yang Shiyun frowned: "This isn't a suitable place to talk."
Zhao Qiang said, "Then let's find a suitable place to talk."
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Yang called out from the doorway: "Shiyun, come here, let me introduce you to a friend."
Zhao Qiang said, "Go quickly, your parents are introducing you to a boyfriend. There are too many scenes like this in movies."
Yang Shiyun said, "But I'm not the girl in the story. Let's go to the rooftop and find a quiet place."
When Yang's parents saw their second daughter leave with Zhao Qiang, they became anxious and rushed over. Zhao Qiang said to Yang Shiyun, "It looks like there's trouble. I'd better stay out of there for now. You can come find me after you've resolved your problem."
After saying that, Zhao Qiang entered the elevator first, while Yang Shiyun stayed behind with a frown. Yang's parents rushed over, anxiously asking, "Where are you going with Zhao Qiang?"
Yang Shiyun snorted: "You know he's Zhao Qiang?"
Mr. Yang said, "Of course I know him. Don't you recognize him?"
Yang Shiyun said, "I thought you didn't know each other."
Yang's mother sensed the resentment in her daughter's words and said, "Shiyun, you're not young anymore, it's time to find a boyfriend. This time, your parents are introducing you to a promising young man. Even if you don't like him, you should still meet him."
Mr. Yang said, "We don't want you to follow in your sister's footsteps."
Yang Shiyun shouted, "What's wrong with my sister? If it weren't for my sister, would you be living such a successful life? Dad, Mom, have you lost your minds? Why don't you understand who's truly important?"
Mr. Yang was extremely angry, almost bursting into a rage: "I finally managed to take the time to attend this meeting. If you don't go in and complete the subsequent procedures, you can go back to America."
Yang Shiyun bit her lip tightly, but finally went into the room. There were already three people inside. Those who could enter the Yang family's social circle were naturally not ordinary people. They were accompanied by their parents, which was a sign of respect for the Yang family. Moreover, the Yang family had the right to earn their respect. Getting on the Yang family's side would be beneficial for both parties.
The young man stood up awkwardly, first nodding and smiling at Yang Shiyun. His parents were also very satisfied with Yang Shiyun, but her overly cold expression made them slightly unhappy. However, it was good that the daughter of a wealthy family was so quiet and gentle.
"This is Lieutenant General Tan Zexi, the commander of the Xinjiang Military Region. It's rare for Lieutenant General Tan to have time to come to Beijing for a meeting, so we all got together," Yang's father introduced casually. Tan Zexi's wife was Li Xiaoshuang, and his son was Tan Hua. The reason this meeting wasn't arranged at the Yang family's home was entirely to create a relaxed atmosphere, and they even specifically chose a regular hotel to avoid running into acquaintances. But unexpectedly, they ran into Zhao Qiang, who was also having dinner there.
Tan Zexi smiled at Yang Shiyun: "You've grown into a young lady, but you're not as lively as you used to be."
Mr. Yang said, "This is because Shiyun just returned from the United States. Tan Hua, although we are the hosts in Beijing, Shiyun has just returned to China and is not familiar with the environment here. We will have to trouble you to take her around these few days."
Tan Hua quickly replied, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Sister Yang."
Mr. Yang said, "Well, that's good. The situation in Beijing has been a bit chaotic lately, so please be careful."
Tan Hua said, "It's alright, we have guards with us, they'll handle anything that comes up."
Yang Shiyun gave a faint snort. What use is a guard from a military district?
Tan Zexi heard Yang Shiyun's disdainful snort. He knew that Yang Shiyun didn't have a good impression of his son and was uneasy about the marriage alliance with the Yang family. However, Yang's father still gave him face and said, "Shiyun, I don't think you like sitting and chatting with us. Tan Hua, why don't you go out for a walk?"
Tan Hua was naturally very happy: "Okay, Sister Yang, let's go."
Mr. Yang said, "Why are you still calling her Sister Yang? Shiyun is older than you."
Tan Hua immediately corrected himself, addressing her as "Sister Shiyun".
Yang Shiyun was furious; who would want to be his older sister?
The two left the room. Yang Shiyun walked very fast, and Tan Hua couldn't keep up. He chased after her, calling out, "Sister Shiyun, wait for me! Be careful walking, don't twist your ankle!"
Yang Shiyun turned the corner of the corridor a few steps ahead of Tan Hua. Tan Hua quickened his pace, but when he turned the corner after her, he found that the corridor ahead was empty and there were no rooms around for Yang Shiyun to hide in. The corridor was quite long, and Yang Shiyun could not possibly walk through it in the short time that Tan Hua could not see.
Volume Two [622] Seeing Through
【622】See through
Zhao Qiang lit a cigarette. It was already quite cold on the rooftop at night because of the strong winds from the high floor.
Yang Shiyun arrived just as she finished her cigarette. The wind made her hair look messy. Zhao Qiang said, "It seems that choosing this place to chat is really not suitable."
Yang Shiyun said, "I thought you wouldn't care about these things."
Zhao Qiang said, "Yes, we are kids from our area, we've experienced all kinds of hardship, we're just worried you won't be able to handle it."
Yang Shiyun sneered, then swung her fist and punched the rooftop railing with a whoosh. Boom! It was like being hit by a swiftly coming iron hammer. A large chunk of the concrete railing wall shattered, and debris fell down, leaving no one knowing whose car was parked below unlucky.
Zhao Qiang stared at Yang Shiyun without saying a word. Yang Shiyun said, "Didn't you want to see through me? This is who I am."
Zhao Qiang asked, "Is this hard qigong or equipment?"
Yang Shiyun said, "How would I know?"
Zhao Qiang grabbed her hand. The spot where she had smashed the wall was broken, and blood was flowing down. Zhao Qiang said, "You like self-harm?"
Yang Shiyun said, "Do you think I'm as perverted as you?"
