"Join the Weapons Research Institute?"

In the spacious living room, Lin Chuan had hardly taken a few steps before he stopped and turned to look at Sun Cheng beside him.

"A talent like you is what our institute lacks," Sun Cheng said bluntly.

Let's not even mention the 'Hypersonic Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile'; the 'Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher' alone is enough to prove Lin Chuan's capabilities.

Such a talent, if not recruited back to the institute, would make Sun Cheng itch with unease, unable to calm down.

As expected, Lin Chuan declined:

"Old Sun, I'm used to being idle and I'm afraid I wouldn't adapt to the high-intensity research at the institute. If I end up holding everyone back, I can't take that responsibility."

Sun Cheng laughed heartily. He knew this excuse was just Lin Chuan's way of deflecting, so he said, "If it's just a nominal position, it won't change your lifestyle. You'll find it much more convenient to tinker at the Anling Military Factory."

Lin Chuan paused, contemplative.

"Lin, as far as I know, you currently hold no official positions. If you were to take a nominal position at the institute, I could, on behalf of the institute, appoint you as the technical head of the Anling Military Factory and have you lead its operations."

Sensing Lin Chuan's interest, the 'Old Fox' Sun Cheng immediately 'turned up the heat,' set on winning Lin over.

"Old Sun, you're really rolling out the red carpet for me," Lin Chuan said with a smile, his lips curling upward.

"Of course," Sun Cheng replied.

Since it was just between themselves, Old Sun didn't mince his words. "Special talents deserve special treatment, and it's allowed in the regulations."

Lin Chuan nodded. "Old Sun, I'll give it some serious thought."

"Sure, these are trifles."

Old Sun spoke frankly, "Come on, let's go check out the steel factory first."

Lin Chuan led the way.

As they descended in the elevator, Shen Qianqian was waiting downstairs.

"Is Comrade Shen waiting for you?" Although they had not known each other long, Old Sun and Lin had become familiar enough for Old Sun to jest.

Lin Chuan waved his hands repeatedly: "She's waiting for us."

"Oh?"

Old Sun raised an eyebrow.

"Comrade Shen Qianqian's father is the factory director of the steel factory, and he has poured his heart into it, so she cares deeply about the affairs of the steel factory as well," Lin Chuan explained.

Realization dawned on Old Sun, and he approached Shen Qianqian, "Comrade Shen, join me and Lin to visit the steel factory."

"Certainly, Director Sun."

Shen Qianqian beamed, then glanced at Lin Chuan.

Director Sun's reaction likely meant he agreed to the transformation of the steel factory into a military factory, or at least he was considering it.

Lin Chuan, this fellow, sure knew what he was doing!

Old Sun and the group of five shared a car, with Shen Qianqian and Lin Chuan leading the way in another.

In the car.

While driving, Shen Qianqian sneaked peeks at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan, sitting in the passenger seat, noticed Shen Qianqian's glances and asked with a smile, "What's up?"

"I'm trying to see what charm you have that could get Director Sun to authorize the military factory." Shen Qianqian was curious.

"You must have always known about my charm," Lin Chuan joked.

Shen Qianqian humphed, "How would I know?"

Lin Chuan laughed and said, "There's definitely charm, but the military factory's qualifications aren't confirmed yet, so we can't pop the champagne at halftime. Transforming the steel factory into a military factory is still troublesome."

"Troublesome it may be,"

Shen Qianqian became serious, "but ultimately, it's developing in the right direction. If it successfully transforms into a military factory and grows larger and stronger, completing Anling City's industrial chain and providing lots of jobs, when it's time to vote for Anling City's Top Ten Outstanding Youths, I'll cast my vote for you!"

"Sounds nice. It must be similar to being a model student back in school, right?"

Lin Chuan mused, saying.

"Seems about right," Shen Qianqian agreed with a laugh, then changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, I've got some good news for you."

"What's the good news?" Lin Chuan asked.

"The day after tomorrow, September 10, Tuesday, Yu Keke's court hearing will be held." Shen Qianqian said as she drove.

"Yu Keke..."

Lin Chuan nodded, "That is indeed good news."

"I am now formally inviting you on behalf of the Anling Police Station to attend this trial," Shen Qianqian said solemnly.

"The day after tomorrow, huh? Fine."

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow, "It seems like I've been quite busy lately."

"You certainly are a busy man now."

Shen Qianqian smiled radiantly, then teased, "I tried to arrange a live-action gaming session with Qiqi and Qingqing; you didn't even have time for that."

"Let's get through the busy period first."

Lin Chuan placed his hands behind his head, slightly reclined the passenger seat, leaned back, and closed his eyes.

Driving, Shen Qianqian saw how relaxed Lin Chuan looked and humphed, "I'm practically becoming your personal driver."

The journey from Linjiang Mansion to the steel factory wasn't too far.

They arrived in just over half an hour.

Outside the steel factory, Shen Jianhua, Shen Qianqian's father, stood at the entrance under the blazing sun, waiting for Lin Chuan, Shen Qianqian, and Sun Cheng.

Next to Shen Jianhua were two factory workers.

One of the workers, frowning under the harsh sun, swallowed a spit and asked, "Director, is the person your daughter called over of significant status?"

"Significant enough."

Shen Jianhua replied.

Shen Qianqian hadn't revealed Sun Cheng's specific identity to Shen Jianhua, only mentioning that an important figure was coming to visit the steel factory.

"Then can our steel factory be saved?" the worker asked again.

What they cared about most was still the steel factory.

This factory was linked to their jobs and economic sources.

Once it was gone, the sky would fall.

"Don't worry, we will definitely keep it!" Shen Jianhua reassured the two worker masters as he couldn't help but think of Lin Chuan.

A father knows his daughter best.

He knew Shen Qianqian's capabilities.

Therefore, the hope of saving this steel factory, Shen Jianhua had not placed on Shen Qianqian but had entrusted it to Lin Chuan.

Although hope was slim, there was still a glimmer of it.

Just as he was thinking.

The sound of a car speeding suddenly came from outside the quiet steel factory, exceedingly loud. Shen Jianhua looked up to see it was his daughter's car.

Another black car followed behind it.

Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian got out of the car and greeted Shen Jianhua, "Uncle Shen."

"Lin has arrived," Shen Jianhua came up to greet him.

On the other side.

Sun Cheng did not put on any bureaucratic airs, needing no special officer to greet and open the car door for him; he got out of the car himself and looked at Lin Chuan, "Lin, is this the steel factory you were talking about?"

"Yes."

Lin Chuan, together with Shen Jianhua, walked towards Sun Cheng, "Director Sun, let me introduce you, this is the factory director of Anling Iron and Steel Factory and also the father of Comrade Shen Qianqian, Shen Jianhua."

"Director Sun, hello hello."

Shen Jianhua immediately greeted him.

"Factory Director Shen, hello," Sun Cheng smiled warmly and shook hands with Shen Jianhua.

"It's too sunny here. Let me take you inside the factory, we can talk and look around," Lin Chuan said.

Sun Cheng smiled, "I'll follow your lead."

The group walked toward the steel factory.

A worker master pulled Shen Jianhua aside and asked, "This Director Sun, I haven't seen him before."

"Right, he's not a leader from our city," another worker master added.

"He might be from the higher-ups."

Shen Jianhua stretched out his index finger and pointed upwards.

The two worker masters glanced at each other, realizing if he truly was a senior official, then the steel factory really had hope!

"Factory Director, your daughter is really capable!" a worker master whispered in praise.

"Let's not talk about this now, hurry up and get back to work. Director Sun will soon tour the factory buildings," Shen Jianhua had no time for idle chat and quickened his pace to catch up with Lin Chuan and Sun Cheng.

He had figured it out.

—This Director Sun, he really respected Lin Chuan.

Wherever Lin Chuan took him, he would go.

The steel factory was vast.

A tour and inspection took more than an hour.

Luckily, although the steel factory had ceased operations, it possessed the key conditions needed for a transformation into a military factory.

In September in Anling City by the Han River, the midday sun was somewhat scorching.

After finishing his tour, Sun Cheng eventually came into the office, sat down, and wiped some sweat beads from his forehead.

As the factory director, Shen Jianhua personally poured the tea.

Lin Chuan picked up a tea cup, took a sip, and asked, "Old Sun, what do you think?"

In terms of scale, it definitely has the qualifications to transform into a military factory. As for the technology, I trust you on that part, but regarding the funding issue, I am unable to help," Sun Cheng said.

Funding issues have always been a major difficulty.

If the steel factory could secure a large infusion of capital, it wouldn't have ended up in its current predicament.

"I will try to lobby the city for these," Lin Chuan nodded and said.

At this, Sun Cheng turned to Shen Jianhua and instructed, "Prepare the steel factory's documents and submit them to Anling City's administrative department. I will order someone to retrieve and evaluate them. Once the evaluation is passed, the military factory qualification can be approved."

Shen Jianhua and the others immediately rejoiced, "Thank you, Director Sun."

Sun Cheng waved his hand, "This is all standard procedure; if you want to thank someone, thank Lin."

In his position, when faced with such requests, one typically wouldn't commit fully and would leave some leeway. Your journey continues on M V L

But today, he had agreed outright and given a definite response.

He was showing his sincerity to Lin Chuan.

Moreover, while traveling from Linjiang Mansion to the steel factory, he had also sought approval from his former superior and got it approved.

Such special treatment was all for Lin Chuan.

Later, the two discussed the topic of transforming the steel factory into a military factory for a while longer before Sun Cheng announced his departure.

Lin Chuan chuckled, "Old Sun, you really are a busy man."

"Well...the Institute of Equipment Research there has made new progress on your 'Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher' research. I need to go back and check on it," Sun Cheng explained.

"When will you visit Anling again?" Lin Chuan made small talk.

"When I come next time," Sun Cheng joked.

The two of them laughed heartily.

In just one morning, Sun Cheng returned to the Capital City to continue presiding over the evaluation and certification of the 'Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher'.

On the other side.

Shen Jianhua watched Lin Chuan respectfully send off Sun Cheng and muttered, "Qianqian, are you blind?"

"Why do you say that?" Shen Qianqian asked blankly.

"I remember you saying that you knew him because you arrested him thinking he was a thief," Shen Jianhua tsked.

"Um..."

For a moment, Shen Qianqian's face was slightly embarrassed, "He did seem very suspicious."

Shen Jianhua shook his head, "I see Lin as a man of integrity. How could he possibly be a criminal suspect?"
