Chapter 3362 All nine departments have completed their missions.
After leaving the West Garden, Yang Xiaotao took a car to the courtyard house.
It gets dark early, and the streetlights on both sides of the road are already on.
There weren't many pedestrians, and occasionally a few jeeps would drive by on the road, bringing with them a gust of cold wind.
Wang Hao, who was driving, was unaware of what had happened to Yang Xiaotao inside, but that didn't stop him from having a happy smile on his face.
He knew that everything Yang Xiaotao had done abroad was meritorious and beneficial to the revolution.
It's obvious that the responses will be mostly praise.
Similarly, Liu Lixue, sitting to the side, was also full of excitement.
She wanted to go home as soon as possible to tell her family about what she had experienced on this trip.
The car quickly stopped at the entrance of the alley.
Yang Xiaotao got out of the car and walked into the alley. He turned back to the two people still watching him in the car and said, "Don't be late for work tomorrow."
The two nodded immediately, and then Wang Hao took Liu Lixue home.
Back in the courtyard, Ran Qiuye, who was cooking, was taken aback at first, then quickly stepped forward.
She didn't expect Yang Xiaotao to come back so quickly. She originally thought he would stay away for a month or two, but now it's only been about half a month.
Yang Xiaotao walked into the house and pulled Ran Qiuye, who was standing nearby, into his arms.
"Why did you suddenly come back without telling me beforehand?"
Unable to break free, Ran Qiuye leaned against Yang Xiaotao's chest and whispered.
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "I just finished work and was planning to go straight home, but they called me to a half-day meeting."
As they were speaking, they heard footsteps behind them.
Yang Xiaotao released Ran Qiuye and saw Rongrong skipping in behind him, followed by Duanwu and a few others.
Upon seeing Yang Xiaotao, he was taken aback at first, then quickly ran over and jumped up to give him a hug.
"Dad, you're back!"
"Yes, yes, I'm back, I'm back!"
Yang Xiaotao, holding his rather heavy daughter, then asked, "Where have you been so late?"
Rongrong nodded, "I need to go practice my dance!"
"Dance practice?"
Yang Xiaotao looked at Ran Qiuye, who was standing to the side. When Rongrong saw Yueyue and the others come in, she quickly jumped down and ran into her room.
"dad!"
"Dad~"
Several people stepped forward and called out, and for a moment, they found themselves thinking about it.
After seeing the children off, Yang Xiaotao frowned and then looked at Ran Qiuye, "What's going on here?"
Ran Qiuye shook her head helplessly, "She wants to go to dance class after school!"
Yang Xiaotao frowned. "You're just going to give me permission?"
Ran Qiuye nodded. "It's rare for her to be so insistent, what can I do?"
"Besides, forced relationships are never happy, are they?"
Seeing Ran Qiuye say this, Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to accept it. However, he still felt a bit uncomfortable when he thought of the 'circles' in later generations!
After a long pause, he finally said, "We must focus intensely on academic subjects!"
"If your grades aren't good, you can forget about everything else!"
Ran Qiuye nodded in response, "This was all agreed upon in advance!"
"She agreed!"
"Otherwise, with all this hard work these past few days, I must say, your score in the last exam was already second in the class!"
"And who's number one?"
"Yueyue!"
Instantly, Yang Xiaotao smiled!
Night fell, and all was quiet.
The sounds in the courtyard gradually subsided.
In the courtyard, Ran Qiuye lay on Yang Xiaotao's chest, and after their shameless affair was over, she hid under the covers.
The bright moonlight shone through the curtains into the room, casting a soft glow.
The two hugged each other, and then their faces turned red with embarrassment and annoyance.
Of course, the main reason is that Ran Qiuye is quite shy.
Thinking about what she had just done, she couldn't help but twist Yang Xiaotao's chest hard. Yang Xiaotao didn't feel any pain, but he still cooperated by saying "Ouch, ouch" and casually put his hand on her perky breast.
Then they enjoyed the long-awaited tenderness.
"So, the leader wants to set an example for you?"
Ran Qiuye looked at Yang Xiaotao with bright eyes, her fair skin glowing like silver in the moonlight.
Yang Xiaotao hugged her tightly, then covered her with the blanket and rubbed her hair before saying, "The specific arrangements are still unclear, but there should be some personnel changes."
At this point, Yang Xiaotao began to inquire about the flood situation in Runan. Although several months had passed, he still needed to know the details.
Ran Qiuye briefly explained the reconstruction efforts in the disaster area, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "The support from all sides was very timely, especially the helicopters and transport planes, which really helped a lot."
Yang Xiaotao nodded. "This was also discussed at the meeting. Transport aircraft will be the focus of our next research step. We still need these large aircraft."
Ran Qiuye nodded, and then brought up education, saying, "Many primary schools have been established across the country, but junior high schools are still in short supply."
"We are lacking both textbooks and teachers."
"Another issue is the selection of talent; there aren't enough positions to fill the positions selected."
Yang Xiaotao knew that this was not a problem that could be solved in one or two years. Only by creating more jobs could these people be absorbed and allowed to contribute their light and heat to the cause of revolution and construction.
The development of talent can, in turn, promote the progress of the education system.
If handled properly, it will create a virtuous cycle.
After a brief conversation, Yang Xiaotao felt himself becoming aroused again.
Ran Qiuye also sensed Xiao Yang's unusual behavior, and her face flushed red again.
Yang Xiaotao then pulled the blanket over himself, and the two disappeared into the moonlight once again.
With Yang Xiaotao's return, the Ninth Department's work got back on track.
I go to work at the Ninth Department in the morning and return home in the evening; it's a monotonous routine between two points.
Sometimes I have to attend meetings, and sometimes I have to go to research institutes to check on the progress of various projects.
Time passed little by little in this fulfilling life, and soon it was the end of the year.
On New Year's Eve, Yang Xiaotao and Li Hongfeng were invited to attend the annual meeting hosted by Mr. Chen.
The two had made preparations early in the morning, and set off from the Ninth Department, taking a car to the front of Old Chen's office building.
Before I even got out of the car, I saw a car stop behind me.
Yang Xiaotao glanced at it, then got out of the car and saw Old Wang and Old Qian walking over.
Yang Xiaotao quickly stepped forward to greet the two men; this was the first time he had seen Qian Lao attend such a meeting.
Mr. Qian nodded, a bright smile on his face, his eyes showing great satisfaction with Yang Xiaotao.
Old Wang's expression turned serious. He looked Yang Xiaotao over and over again before pulling him aside.
"Xiao Yang, you'll have to lend a hand this time."
Yang Xiaotao was taken aback, not understanding what Old Wang meant. Old Wang then explained, "Last year, we were just a little short of our assigned quota. This time, you'll have to put in a good word for us."
Yang Xiaotao casually asked, "How much is it different?"
Old Wang's eyes darted around, and then he held up five fingers.
Yang Xiaotao glanced at it, "Fifty thousand US dollars? No big deal."
However, Mr. Wang just shook his head, "It's not 500, it's 5 million."
Yang Xiaotao was taken aback. "How much? Five million?"
He then shook his head. "There's nothing I can do about such a big gap. Don't come to me; it's no use coming to me."
Upon hearing this, Old Wang immediately stepped in front of Yang Xiaotao, saying, "What do you mean 'useless'! Let me tell you, we still need to come to you for this matter."
Yang Xiaotao was a little puzzled. "Old Wang, this is foreign exchange, there are records. Don't try to cheat me."
Old Wang snorted coldly, "What do you mean by being a rogue? Do you think I'm a shameless person?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, remaining silent.
Old Wang took a deep breath and then explained, "I made some inquiries this time, and out of the eight ministries, besides our Seventh Ministry, there are also the Fifth and Sixth Ministries. The others have all completed their tasks. Does this mean we're at the bottom now?"
"This won't do; it would damage the reputation of our Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry."
"So, you have to help me with this."
Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "Let me hear how I can help you first?"
Old Wang stepped forward again and said with a smile, "It's simple, just give us a little bit."
Yang Xiaotao looked around and said, "Old Wang, are you asking me to falsify the accounts? That's a mistake!"
Old Wang rolled his eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by falsifying accounts? Let me explain this to you."
As he spoke, Old Wang held up his finger, "What did you say when we established the Xizhou Satellite Launch Center?"
Yang Xiaotao shook his head, looked up at the clouds in front of him, and still couldn't understand the meaning behind the other person's words.
Old Wang spoke directly, "You said the venue usage fee should be split 50/50, right?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded. "That's what was said back then, that's what it meant."
Old Wang then laughed and said, "Then let me ask you, why haven't we, the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry, received any money for these satellite launches, especially those to Persia, Turkmenistan, and that other satellite?"
Yang Xiaotao blinked. "Old Wang, that's not very helpful. We in the Ninth Department haven't seen any money either."
Old Wang said, "That's different. Your Ninth Ministry is a large and powerful organization, and you don't lack these hundreds of thousands. You can't cheat our Seventh Ministry of Machinery. You have to make up for this."
"No, how can I make it up to you?"
"We can't exactly rob Old Chen's place, can we?"
Old Wang held up one finger. "Do you think you guys made the satellite?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded.
"And then, did we deliver it to you?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded again.
"Have we served you?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded helplessly.
"That settles it then, but you have to pay, right?"
Yang Xiaotao looked directly at Li Hongfeng, who was standing to the side. Li Hongfeng had also heard their conversation and turned his head away.
Without giving the two a chance to speak, Old Wang stepped forward and said, "It's settled then. I'll explain it to Old Chen when it's brought up at the meeting, so don't go back on your word."
Yang Xiaotao was speechless. "Did I agree to anything? I didn't agree to anything."
"So, are you going to agree or not?"
Old Wang looked at Yang Xiaotao with a meaningful expression.
"Okay, you're awesome, you're amazing."
"I'll talk to Mr. Chen about it then."
Seeing this, Old Wang smiled smugly, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any losses."
"When we launch satellites again this year, we will follow the same old rules and will definitely not let your Ninth Department suffer any losses."
Yang Xiaotao was speechless. They were following the old rules, so why should they suffer any losses?
However, he also knew that Old Wang sometimes just didn't follow the rules.
Hearing the other party say this, it can be considered that the rules have been established. He then said, "Then it's settled. This is a one-time thing. If this happens again, don't blame me for being unruly and ruthless."
Old Wang nodded, "Don't worry, this time it's a promise, I'll keep my word."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, and the two reached an agreement, which relieved Old Wang of a worry.
Just when Old Wang thought the matter was resolved, Yang Xiaotao leaned closer and said, "By the way, you just said that the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building and the Sixth Ministry of Machine Building also failed to meet their targets, right?"
Old Wang nodded with a smile, "Yes, this way our Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry has stood out and is no longer on the same level as them."
With a smile on his face, Yang Xiaotao chuckled and said, "Old Wang, I forgot to tell you some good news."
Old Wang's heart skipped a beat; he sensed that Yang Xiaotao's smile wasn't quite right.
Then Yang Xiaotao said, "Some time ago, the desert ordered four more missile cruisers, four submarines, and their supporting weapons."
After saying that, Yang Xiaotao led Li Hongfeng quickly into the office building.
Behind him, Old Wang, his face turning green, stomped his foot and said, "Those cruisers and submarines we bought all use missiles! If the Fifth and Sixth Ministries of Machine Building can complete their foreign exchange assessment tasks, then our Seventh Ministries of Machine Building can too!"
"We've been tricked! We've been tricked! That rascal!"
Old Qian behind him smiled helplessly, "Let's go in quickly."
Old Wang nodded in greeting, and the two quickly walked into the conference room.
When Yang Xiaotao and his companion walked in, Huang Lao from the First Ministry of Machine Building and Liu Huaimin were sitting and waiting to the side.
Upon seeing Yang Xiaotao enter, the two stood up and greeted each other politely with smiles.
Then, Old Wang led his men in, greeted the two men, and found a place to sit down.
Gradually, more and more people arrived. Elder Zhang from the Third Ministry of Machine Building came in with Zheng Shuangyan, followed by Elder Liu from the Second Ministry of Machine Building with a middle-aged man whom Yang Xiaotao was familiar with and had dealt with before.
As time went by, other ministries such as the Fifth and Sixth Ministry of Machine Building gradually entered the scene.
To Yang Xiaotao's surprise, Li Rong from the foreign trade sector also attended the meeting, which surprised everyone else as well.
Everyone then began speculating about the content of the meeting.
At the same time, Old Qin led Xiao Feng into the conference room.
Yang Xiaotao was taken aback, not expecting that Old Qin would return at this time.
Old Qin sat down next to Yang Xiaotao. "The projects in Turkmenistan and Persia will have to wait about a month. In the meantime, Old Chen asked me to come back and have a meeting first."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "We need to prepare everything before we start, and once we start..."
Old Qin nodded, and the two were about to talk in hushed tones when the door was pushed open and Old Chen strode in from outside, followed by Secretary Guo and Tang Mingyue.
Upon seeing Tang Mingyue, everyone understood that she was sent by Elder Qing. Elder Chen entered the conference room, glanced at everyone, then sat down. Without saying much, he directly stated, "Today's meeting has two agenda items."
"The first is a summary of last year's foreign exchange targets. According to the summary, everyone performed very well, and all nine departments completed their targets."
"Here, I must first commend the Ninth Department. They not only completed the one trillion task, but also exceeded it. This shows that our comrades have boundless potential."
"Everyone should learn more from the Ninth Department."
After saying this, Yang Xiaotao lowered his head in the audience, not daring to look at the expressions of the people around him.
I gradually realized that what we talked about in the West Garden last time might actually come to fruition this time.
Those present understood the meaning behind Old Chen's words, and forced smiles appeared on their faces.
