64: Chapter 64 Is it too late to run now?

Xu Hao looked at the expression on Director Guo Fan's face and immediately chuckled.

Was it really necessary to be this scared?

However, he still explained to him: "Don't misunderstand. President Tang Minghui is going to cooperate with me on some upcoming projects, so he needs to assist the Dragon Kingdom authorities with some investigations."

Xu Hao made up a casual excuse to briefly explain the situation to Director Guo Fan.

However, Tangs Heavy Industry was indeed going to cooperate with him on some upcoming projects.

Xu Hao was also interested in participating in the overseas order that President Tang Minghui had brought.

The order was huge and involved a lot of heavy machinery.

Many of them still required the approval and stamps from relevant departments before they could be exported.

If Xu's Heavy Industry participated, they could not only make a huge profit but also begin expanding into overseas markets.

Hearing Xu Hao's words, Director Guo Fan immediately asked: "What about me? Do I have to be investigated too?"

He also had a cooperative relationship with Xu's Heavy Industry...

Wouldn't he also have to be investigated by the Security Bureau?

"Haven't you already been investigated?" Xu Hao asked in return.

He had heard that when Elder Zhou and his team came last time, both Guo Fan Film Industry and the film crew for 'The Wandering Earth' had been investigated by relevant departments.

Did Director Guo Fan want to be investigated again?

Director Guo Fan: "Oh, that's right, I've already been investigated!"

He slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing.

Thinking of this, the heart he had been holding in his throat finally settled.

He composed himself and discussed the follow-up filming of 'The Wandering Earth' with Xu Hao.

"Chairman Xu, 'The Wandering Earth' is about to start outdoor filming. Can the props be arranged on time?"

Because of the previous matters with Xu's Heavy Industry, the crew's filming had been delayed for a while.

If they had followed the previous schedule, they should have already started filming the meeting scenes by now.

But fortunately, there were no major issues. They restarted filming afterward and finished shooting all the indoor scenes.

Now, only some large-scale outdoor scenes remained to be filmed.

However, these scenes now almost all required the use of those props made by Xu's Heavy Industry.

This was also the reason he specifically came to Xu's Heavy Industry; he wanted to figure out if the props could be arranged on schedule.

If they could be arranged on time, that would definitely be best.

If not... he wouldn't dare to say anything.

After all, Xu's Heavy Industry was now a state-owned enterprise, with the Dragon Academy of Sciences and the Dragon Kingdom standing behind it.

No matter what, official business always comes first!

Hearing Director Guo Fan's words, Xu Hao thought for a moment.

For some time now, the authorities had been implementing protective measures for the Doomsday Vehicle, the Transport Aircraft, and the Powered Exoskeleton Mecha.

It seemed they were about to reach the final stages, and it would be completed in a few days.

So he nodded and replied: "No problem. The authorities are almost done too; it can be arranged immediately!!"

Upon hearing this, Director Guo Fan looked excited.

"That's great!"

"With those props, many scenes in our movie won't need special effects anymore; we can use the original scenes directly."

"The effect will probably be even more explosive than special effects, haha!"

He had personally experienced those props and knew how powerful they were.

If applied to the 'The Wandering Earth' movie, the filmed results would definitely be incredibly realistic.

With the matter of the props confirmed, Director Guo Fan's purpose for coming here was considered fulfilled.

The two hadn't met for a long time, so they chatted about other topics aimlessly.

In the end, Xu Hao suddenly remembered something.

"Hey, Director Guo!" Xu Hao called out, then immediately continued. "Besides those props, I've also come up with a new gadget. How about I let your actors help me test its effectiveness later?" Xu Hao asked.

"What new gadget?" Director Guo Fan was curious, even a bit excited.

Chairman Xu had come up with a new gadget again and even wanted the actors from 'The Wandering Earth' to help test it.

It must be another incredibly powerful tech product.

"Powered Exoskeleton Mecha!" Xu Hao answered directly without even thinking.

When he first created this gadget, it was to open up the market.

He had also thought that it would be perfect to have Director Guo Fan help him test it while filming 'The Wandering Earth'.

Therefore, Xu Hao made this request.

Previously, Deputy Minister Zhu Deze of the Security Bureau had already conducted a live test.

However, that was, after all, a test conducted in a limited indoor space, so many performance capabilities had not been fully unleashed.

Now that Director Guo Fan was here, Xu Hao took this opportunity to propose the idea.

Director Guo Fan picked up a cup of tea, and before he could bring it to his lips, he paused upon hearing Xu Hao's words.

"Wh... What? Powered Exoskeleton Mecha?!"

Director Guo Fan put down the teacup and looked at Xu Hao with a shocked expression.

Powered Exoskeleton Mecha, this was a military product that the military was currently developing with full force.

Furthermore, he had seen relevant domestic and international reports that the military of many countries was also researching this gadget.

Xu Hao said... the new gadget he made was a Powered Exoskeleton Mecha?

Director Guo Fan swallowed his saliva, completely stunned!

At the same time, his heart, which hadn't completely calmed down, leaped into his throat once again.

"Chairman Xu, can I pretend I didn't hear anything?" Director Guo Fan looked at Xu Hao somewhat helplessly.

It seemed he had heard something he shouldn't have heard...

But there was no way to regret it now.

At this moment, he finally understood why President Tang Minghui had been taken away.

Nine times out of ten, it was because of this.

But it wasn't like he wanted to hear it.

Chairman Xu would blurt out explosive news at the drop of a hat; how could he not be taken away by the comrades from the Security Bureau?

Director Guo Fan wanted to cry but had no tears. It was over; he was going to be investigated too!!

Looking at his expression, Xu Hao realized at this moment that he seemed to have inadvertently exposed some confidential projects again.

He rubbed his nose, coughed lightly, and felt slightly awkward.

"Haha, Director Guo, I didn't do this on purpose, please forgive me..."

Xu Hao refilled his hot tea and then continued: "Don't rush to leave later. Just accept an investigation from the Security Bureau comrades and sign some confidentiality documents; it shouldn't be a big problem."

Xu Hao was thinking at this moment whether he should let the comrades from the Security Bureau open a branch office here.

Otherwise, every time he accidentally exposed some information, he would have to trouble the people from the Security Bureau to make a trip; it was too troublesome.

Director Guo Fan nodded silently, feeling helpless in his heart.

He had already heard it, so what else could he do? He could only take things one step at a time.

Anyway, he had accepted an official investigation before, so being investigated again wasn't a big deal. Director Guo Fan comforted himself.

He finally understood why the factory area of Xu's Heavy Industry was guarded so strictly, with a sentry every ten steps and heavy troops guarding it.

I'm afraid... at the current Xu's Heavy Industry, even a random screw could be a classified item.

Moreover, Chairman Xu would casually blurt out classified matters at any time.

He looked at Xu Hao and fell into deep thought for a long time.

His partner seemed to be incredibly extraordinary!! There was always an investigation or a confidentiality agreement.

May I ask, what kind of partner is like this?

But thinking about it from another perspective, wouldn't it be even better to have a partner who had both background and strength, and strength and background?

For a moment, Director Guo Fan's mood became exceptionally complicated. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
