Chapter 95 Complete Transformation

In the warehouse, the awkward silence triggered by Liu Jianguo's offhand remark continued to ferment.

A group of national treasure-level bigwigs, with a combined age of several hundred years, stood there blankly, watching the innocent-looking, harmless-seeming people's toy maker, collectively falling into a state of speechless awkwardness.

They wanted to admire his indifference to fame and wealth, but once they thought about the high-powered Swarm Drone and the ghost toy car that had toyed with the entire city's police force, that admiration just couldn't seem to well up.

They wanted to criticize him, but he had just crushed their scientific worldview with that "just looked at the Chameleon" explanation. You couldn't reason with someone like this.

Consequently, the bigwigs could only look at each other, the corners of their mouths twitching uncontrollably, their facial expressions completely out of control.

Amidst this strange atmosphere, a vigorous cough broke the stalemate.

"Ahem!"

It was the Old General, who had been standing at the back with a complex expression.

As soon as he spoke, all the bigwigs seemed to have found their backbone, looking over in unison with expressions that clearly said, "Leader, please give us a definitive word."

The Old General's gaze swept slowly across the room, finally landing on Li Jiajun. His serious face now carried a hint of wry amusement. He cleared his throat and announced in an unquestionable tone:

"After a comprehensive assessment by our joint investigation team, we believe that Comrade Li Jiajun and his Li Family Toy Factory have achieved breakthrough results in the field of high-end materials, providing an entirely new perspective for our national defense technology industry."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiajun's heart skipped a beat, feeling that this high praise was a bit frightening.

The Old General ignored him and continued: "Given the extreme importance and sensitivity of this technology, it has been decided after deliberation that the relevant core technologies will be led by the military in the form of technical cooperation with the Li Family Toy Factory, and will be subjected to the highest level of protective requisition. The state will provide Comrade Li Jiajun and his factory with the fullest financial support and policy backing!"

Technical cooperation!

Protective requisition!

Once these two terms were out, all the bigwigs on the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

This method of handling could be said to satisfy everyone. It preserved the face of Li Jiajun, this folk master, allowed the state to rightfully obtain the technology, and avoided internal conflicts between departments fighting over him.

Perfect!

However, before the bigwigs could even rejoice, the Old General changed his tone, his sharp gaze falling on Liu Jianguo, who had been trying hard to lower his presence since just now.

Liu Jianguo's heart jumped, and a sense of foreboding welled up.

Seeing the Old General looking at him, he delivered an unofficial but extremely heavy verbal order in an unprecedentedly serious tone:

"Comrade Jianguo."

"Here!" Liu Jianguo straightened his back instinctively.

"This Li Jiajun," the Old General pointed at the bewildered Li Jiajun, speaking word by word, "from now on, he is handed over to you to focus on. Whatever he needs, we provide; whatever he creates, you report to me immediately."

Speaking of this, the Old General paused, and with a meaningful look, added the final verdict that made Liu Jianguo's scalp tingle:

"In short, if something happens, I'm coming for you first!"

Boom!

Liu Jianguo felt his brain buzz.

It was over.

Previously, he was just a hidden, unofficial firefighter. Now, it was even worse; he had been officially stamped and certified by the Old General as the designated person in charge of the aftermath!

He looked at the Old General's uncompromising gaze, then at the sympathetic looks from the other bigwigs around him; his bitter face completely collapsed, his mouth full of bitterness.

"I... I've been completely bound to him..." he thought wordlessly.

Li Jiajun had been listening for a long time on the side and finally understood.

He wouldn't be arrested, the factory was still there, and the state was even going to give him a huge sum of money!

The heavy stone that had been hanging in his heart finally crashed down. Overwhelming joy clouded his mind; he didn't even notice Liu Jianguo's lifeless expression.

Subsequent matters proceeded very smoothly. Under the banner of technical cooperation, the 2.0 version samples and all relevant data were carefully packed and taken away by the Experts. At the same time, an astronomical sum that made Li Jiajun dizzy counting the zeros was deposited into the Li Family Toy Factory's account as an advance payment for technical cooperation.

After sending off the grand investigation team, Li Jiajun stood alone in the empty office, looking at the long string of balances on his mobile banking app, so excited he almost started dancing on the spot.

But after the joy, a deep sense of exhaustion welled up.

These two requisition experiences were just too stimulating; his little heart couldn't take it.

"This money is hot to the touch..."

He looked out the window, a trace of determination appearing on his face. He didn't want to deal with that group of Experts whose eyes could eat people anymore, and he didn't want to see Liu Jianguo's face, which was more bitter than a bitter gourd, ever again.

He slapped his thigh hard and started his unconscious muttering mode:

"No! Must transform! Must thoroughly transform!"

"High-precision, advanced things have too high a risk and make too much noise; I'm never touching them again!"

"Next time! I must make an absolutely safe, absolutely reliable, harmless pure civilian product! Yes, that's decided!"
