Chapter 1144: Hard disk!

Chapter 1144: Hard disk!

Noon.

Villa no. 1.

Everyone left, and Xie Guoliang came downstairs.

Xie Guojian looked up. “Where’s Sister-in-law?”

“Xiao Hao, Xiao Ran, and Xiao Jing could not keep secrets. Yan Zhen and Lifen know about this incident, and she is talking to them over the phone.” Xie Guoliang explained.

Xie Guojian replied. “Just tell them what happened. After all, they had returned safely.”

Xie Guolian asked. “Has Xiao Zhong and the rest left? What did they say?”

Xie Guojian said. “They went to visit Deputy Chairman Zhang. I think they are arranging Lizhen’s job and position and will assign a team of researchers under her.”

Dong Xuebing interrupted. “Which department is Aunt Zhong going?”

Xie Guojian thought for a second. “I think she will attend the Chinese Academy of Sciences.”

Xie Guobang said. “Senior Xie called me when I was upstairs. He wants us to look after Lizhen and be more concerned about her development.”

Xie Guojian paused. “Why is our dad…?”

Xie Guojian glanced at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing immediately got the hint. “I will go upstairs.”

The younger generation should not get involved in such conversations.

Xie Guobang waved. “Sit, Xiao Bing.”

Xie Guojian looked at Dong Xuebing and smiled.

Dong Xuebing was surprised and returned to his seat. He was allowed to listen to their conversation, affirming his ability. Even the third generation’s head, Xie Ran, is not qualified to join the older generation’s discussions. This is because Xie Ran is young, and the third generation is not ready. Maybe Huilan is the only one who can participate. Now, Dong Xuebing is allowed to join. Of course, he is not qualified to give any suggestions.

Xie Guobang said. “Lizhen will not leave after this incident, and she will develop her career here. She will become a faculty head with her qualifications and will be a Major General. Senior Xie wants us to give her a hand and help her get more authority. She is one of us, and we should help her.”

This is grooming a helper.

Zhong Lizhen and Han Jing are close, and she will join the Xie faction.

But…. Major General. Xie Guojing worked for many years in the military and was only a Lieutenant General. Zhong Lizhen might become a Major General the moment she returned.

They chatted about Zhong Lizhen and started talking about Xie Guoliang. Xie Guobang asked. “Are there any problems with your promotion?”

Xie Guoliang nodded. “It should be confirmed.”

Xie Guobang continued. “I cannot move up this time. What about you, Guojian? You are the only one still stuck in your position.”

Xie Guojian replied. “It’s about my length of service. I am slightly lacking compared to the others.”

Xie Guobang replied. “Lizhen’s incident is an opportunity for you. I will ask Senior Xie if he has any solutions.”

Xie Guojian smiled. “I am prepared. It doesn’t matter to me.”

Xie Guobang nodded.

“It will be great if Guojian can be promoted.” Xie Guobang said. “Even a same-level transfer and joining the Military Commission is not bad.”

Xie Guojian smiled. “It’s impossible.”

Suddenly Dong Xuebing remembered. “Oh, I forgot to give you something, Second Uncle. I wanted to give it to you since I returned but did not have the opportunity.”

“What is it?” Xie Guojian and Xie Guoliang looked at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing took out a hard disk from his pocket. “This.”

“Hard disk?” Xie Guojian was puzzled. “What is inside it?”

Dong Xuebing’’s reply shocked everyone. “I brought it back from Florida’s military research center. I don’t know what it contain, but it was inside a locked office.”

Xie Guojian was shocked. “From the research center?”

Dong Xuebing smiled wearily. “Don’t tell Aunt Zhong about this. I suggested this to her as it was a good opportunity, but she is stubborn. She says she did not develop those technologies and didn’t allow me to take anything. I pulled out this hard disk from one of their PC when she was not noticing.” He had used STOP to steal this hard disk without her knowing.

Xie Guojian laughed and patted Dong Xuebing’s shoulder. “Well done!”

Zhong Lizhen is stubborn, but Dong Xuebing is not. He is a wicked bastard who will not let his enemies off lightly.

Xie Guoliang asked. “What does it contain?”

“It should be some technologies. I don’t know.” Dong Xuebing replied.

“Wait a while. I will get someone here.” Xie Guojian immediately made a call.

A soldier in civilian clothes arrived twenty minutes later. He should be an IT technician from the military.

Xie Guojian gave that soldier the hard disk. “This is a top-secret mission. You must forget everything you see in the hard disk after you leave this door.”

“Yes, Sir!” The man replied.

“Start. I want to know what does it contain.”

The soldier took out a laptop and some equipment. He connected the hard disk to the laptop and started typing.

One minute….

Five minutes….

Ten minutes….

The technician was startled and continued to type. His expression got more nervous, and he started to sweat.

“What’s wrong?” Xie Guojian asked.

Dong Xuebing looked from behind anxiously.

The technician wiped his sweat. “These are…… too important! There are two completed and five to six preliminary designs! It also contains some US military research and research reports!”

Even though Zhong Lizhen has studied in several fields, she is just one person.

This hard disk is different. It contains completed and half-completed research!

After the technician left, Xie Guojian patted Dong Xuebing’s shoulder. “Thanks.”

“Don’t mention it.” Dong Xuebing also hopes this hard disk can help Xie Guojian move up during the term change. It will benefit the Xie family and him.
