402: Xiao Niannian designed new blueprints.
Several new Team Members were surprised to see Xu Yang talking with Instructor Xiao for a while.
"Comrade Xu, do you know Instructor Xiao?"
"Comrade Xu, what were you talking about with Instructor Xiao?"
"Instructor Xiao's performance today was truly spectacular."
Xu Yang didn't expect them to ask him, so he shook his head.
"It's nothing."
He wouldn't let these people know about what he had done or his previous relationship with Xiao Niannian.
Otherwise, these people would spread rumors, and Xiao Niannian would use the opportunity to deal with him.
That's right, his most important task now was to stay here and not be eliminated. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the chance to investigate Xiao Niannian and her accomplices.
Thinking of this, Xu Yang decided to work hard and become even more outstanding.
Only then could he investigate everything clearly.
And this way, he wouldn't have to continue staying with Xiao Yueyue.
Seeing Xu Yang leave quickly, these comrades-in-arms were full of doubt.
"Don't you think Comrade Xu is a bit strange?"
"Maybe he just doesn't want to say."
"I heard the ordinary Team Members from First Team say that Instructor Xiao is very formidable..."
"I didn't expect that among our instructors, there would be someone so young and so powerful."
Xiao Niannian returned to her dormitory. After resting for a while, she heard a knock on the door.
Xiao Niannian opened the door and saw Xiao Cui.
"comrade Cui."
"Instructor Xiao."
Xiao Cui said with a smile on his face.
"Someone is looking for you in the reception room, it seems to be from a higher-level unit."
Hearing Xiao Cui's words, Xiao Niannian guessed that the comrades from the Arms Factory had arrived.
"Okay, thank you."
Xiao Niannian walked towards the reception room.
Soon, she arrived at the reception room.
"Comrade Xiao."
Seeing that they were comrades from the Yangcheng Military Factory, Xiao Niannian immediately saluted.
"Greetings, Commanders."
"Hello, Comrade Xiao."
After returning a military salute, the comrades entered the reception room with Xiao Niannian, while two comrades stood outside on guard.
"Comrade Xiao, we heard you designed new blueprints..."
Xiao Niannian nodded.
"That's right, what I designed this time are refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners..."
What?
The Commanders of the Arms Factory looked at Comrade Xiao Niannian, all a bit confused. Why did Comrade Xiao Niannian design home appliances instead of weapons this time?
"Comrade Xiao, we are an Arms Factory, these things belong to home appliance factories..."
"Commanders, please listen to me..."
Xiao Niannian immediately explained.
"I know these things belong to home appliance factories, but some production lines at the Arms Factory are currently shut down... I think if these are successfully made, they can earn foreign exchange and contribute more to the country..."
"Or the Arms Factory could cooperate with external home appliance factories..."
Hearing this, the Commanders understood Xiao Niannian's meaning.
"Comrade Xiao, we understand what you're saying, but we really haven't done anything like this before... This matter, I'm afraid we'll have to submit a report and inform the higher-ups..."
"I understand."
The comrades from the Arms Factory left after half an hour, taking the blueprints with them.
When they left, they were escorted by Team Members from First Team.
Xiao Niannian knew it wouldn't be so easy to convince them. Moreover, the Commanders of the Arms Factory couldn't make the decision on this matter.
It seemed she also had to talk to Lu Jing and call her Grandparents to report this matter.
Xiao Niannian exited the reception room and saw Lu Jing talking to someone at a nearby doorway. She walked towards Lu Jing.
"Captain Lu."
Xiao Niannian called out to Lu Jing.
Lu Jing looked at Xiao Niannian, said a few words to the person opposite him, and then walked towards Xiao Niannian.
Seeing Lu Jing approach, Xiao Niannian talked about the washing machine, refrigerator, and air conditioner.
Hearing Niannian say this, Lu Jing's face broke into a smile.
"Niannian, you've done very well, and this is absolutely the right thing to do..."
Hearing Lu Jing's affirmative words, Xiao Niannian was very happy.
Lu Jing saw the smile on Niannian's face, and his own smile also grew.
Niannian had great love in her heart. In recent years, the Arms Factory and many Research Institutes had indeed seen some improvements, but some had also experienced difficulties.
In recent years, some people had indeed suggested that the Arms Factory and Research Institutes were far better off than ordinary citizens, proposing to abolish a large portion of them.
Some said they should be restructured, making these Arms Factories and Research Institutes self-sufficient, while others suggested converting them to civilian use... He had heard about it at the time and guessed that within a few years, there would definitely be some changes.
If it were as Niannian said, then these Arms Factories and Research Institutes could continue to serve the country, and even if reforms came, there would be no problems... "You also think this is a good idea?"
"Yes, doing this can earn foreign exchange for the country and make the Arms Factory and Research Institutes even stronger..."
Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing and said.
"The Commanders of the Arms Factory heard about this matter, and I could tell they were somewhat tempted, but they couldn't make the decision. I don't know if this matter will succeed..."
Hearing Niannian's words, Lu Jing comforted her.
"This matter can certainly succeed. It's a good thing, and the Commanders above will definitely agree..."
Lu Jing believed that the Commanders above would agree with Niannian's proposals.
After returning, the Commanders of the Arms Factory reported Xiao Niannian's proposal to the higher echelons.
This matter, however, caused a great stir.
Xiao Niannian was temporarily unaware of these developments; she was busy training the new Team Members.
After the public display of her shooting skills last time, the number of people who questioned Xiao Niannian decreased significantly. Even if some were unconvinced, they didn't dare to voice it directly.
As for Shen Yan, although he had been training with the First Team Members these days, he had suspected Xu Yang might be a threat to Sister Xiao. In less than a day, Shen Yan had become familiar with many new Team Members, and he had gathered the information he wanted.
He knew that Xu Yang was from the Yangcheng Troops, and that Xu Yang had previously won second and third places in Division Headquarters competitions... Shen Yan guessed that Xu Yang's dissatisfaction with Xiao Niannian might be because he lost to Sister Xiao, making him resentful and wanting revenge against Sister Xiao.
Although he hadn't found any problems with Xu Yang yet, he would continue to investigate. If Xu Yang had any issues, he would definitely deal with him.
Shen Yan made a phone call.
"It's me. Help me look into someone..."
The person on the other end of the line agreed.
"Alright, I'll have someone look into it. I'll call you as soon as I find anything."
"Thanks, brother. Next time I'm on leave, I'll definitely treat you to a big meal..."
