158: The real purpose is not the wine, but the defense system

The person who came was indeed an old friend, an old acquaintance.

"General Manager Shi, I didn't expect to see you here!" Liu Xiaolin said excitedly, holding Shi Hangtian's hand tightly.

That's right, the person who came was Shi Hangtian, who took away the Xiaohang Drones technical blueprints.

The company they belonged to publicly claimed to produce military leather shoes, but in reality, they specially opened a drone workshop managed by Shi Hangtian to produce military drones.

"General Manager Liu, long time no see! You've done a lot of big things recently, I've seen it all clearly," Shi Hangtian said, laughing heartily while patting Liu Xiaolin's back.

"Not at all, just small matters," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"Good heavens, it's already wanderer one, and you call that small matters? If you were to make a big fuss, would you cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace? Do you think you're Sun Wukong? Hahaha!" Shi Hangtian seemed to have become much more humorous than before.

"General Manager Shi, you really know how to joke. How could I be Sun Wukong? I'm just a little monkey," Liu Xiaolin also chuckled.

"Alright, you two stop standing at the doorway talking. There are still ten minutes left, go inside and chat," General Gui reminded them.

"Right, right, right, let's go into the office and sit down." Shi Hangtian led Liu Xiaolin into his office, and the three of them talked about everything under the sun.

Suddenly, General Gui's phone rang. After taking the call outside, he walked in and said to Liu Xiaolin, "Old Leader is here, waiting for us on the tenth floor. Let's go upstairs."

After saying goodbye to Shi Hangtian, Liu Xiaolin followed General Gui to the tenth floor.

There were more military personnel on guard on the tenth floor, basically one every two meters.

General Gui was already used to it, and the security personnel seemed to recognize him and did not stop the two of them.

They hurried to the door of a large conference room, and General Gui called out loudly, "Report!"

Someone then opened the conference room door and led the two of them inside.

Several military personnel were sitting in the conference room. In the center sat an old military man around seventy years old with a righteous expression, the kind who looked very imposing at first glance.

Without anyone introducing him, Liu Xiaolin could tell that this person should be the Old Leader.

Sure enough, General Gui walked up to the old military man and gave a proper military salute, "Chief, hello."

The Old Leader smiled and motioned for the two to sit down, "Don't stand on ceremony, hurry and sit down."

General Gui introduced Liu Xiaolin to everyone, "This young man is Liu Xiaolin. The design blueprints for the Xiaohang Drones were his selfless contribution, and wanderer one was also researched and produced by his company. A very talented young man."

"Liu Xiaolin, is it? The name sounds very imposing. And he acts very imposingly too," the Old Leader said admiringly.

"Old Leader, you flatter me. I'm just an ordinary young entrepreneur," Liu Xiaolin said very humbly.

"But you're not ordinary, because your design blueprints have allowed our military drones to take a big step forward. Now, our grassroots companies are using the drones developed and improved with your technology, which are very convenient and practical. It's very easy to deliver supplies to outposts in uninhabited areas; vegetables and meat can be transported there promptly every day, greatly facilitating the grassroots officers and soldiers. I want to thank you on behalf of the grassroots officers and soldiers." The Old Leader actually wanted to meet Liu Xiaolin because of the drones.

"I didn't do much, just provided a technical blueprint. Those who are doing the real work are General Manager Shi and his team," Liu Xiaolin said humbly.

"Ah, this young man is really good. Not arrogant or complacent, humble and polite. He's a good prospect for a soldier. Do you want to become a soldier?" As soon as the Old Leader saw a good prospect, he wanted to recruit him into the army.

"Chief, he has several companies waiting for him to manage right now, so it's probably not possible for him to become a soldier," General Gui said with a smile.

"Oh, right, today is for signing the contract, isn't it? Look at me, I was so fond of Comrade Xiao Liu that I forgot about the main business," the Old Leader said, smiling and complaining about his poor memory.

"It's alright. I enjoy listening to you speak, and there's no need to rush the contract signing," Liu Xiaolin said obediently.

"Let's finish signing the contract first, and then we can chat. This time, as the military representative, I am signing this contract with you for transporting supplies to the Space Station. I won't say much about the actual mission; we both know what it is."

The Old Leader smiled, picked up a pen, signed his name on both copies of the contract, and handed them to Liu Xiaolin. After Liu Xiaolin took the contracts and signed his name, he handed one copy to the Old Leader and kept one for himself.

"I know the actual mission, don't worry. I will accompany wanderer one to complete this material transport mission," Liu Xiaolin said.

"So, you plan to personally supervise the battle?" The Old Leader was very pleased.

"Yes, I went up with wanderer one during its second test flight and personally saw our Defense System destroy giant Space debris. So, I have some experience," Liu Xiaolin said confidently.

"Then I am even more relieved, but you must remember that there is a lot of Space debris this time, and it is widely scattered. You must eliminate all Space debris within three hundred kilometers around the Space Station to ensure everything is foolproof," the Old Leader instructed.

"I will definitely complete the mission. Our Defense System also has a positioning and locking function. Once locked, it can automatically destroy it," Liu Xiaolin introduced.

"This Defense System is really good. Could I be so bold as to ask you for a copy of the design blueprints?" the Old Leader suddenly said this sentence.

After this sentence was spoken, everyone in the conference room fell silent, all staring at Liu Xiaolin with wide eyes, waiting for him to speak.

Only then did Liu Xiaolin understand. Signing the contract was nothing, praising the design blueprints of the Xiaohang Drones was nothing. The real goal today was the design blueprints of the Defense System! It was truly a case of the drunkard's intention not being in the wine, but in the Defense System!

Furthermore, as long as this Defense System is installed on military Space shuttles, there will be no more worries about Space debris around the Space Station in the future.

Liu Xiaolin hesitated, should he give it or not? If he gives it, this job will be gone in the future; if he doesn't? Everyone in Dragon Country must strongly support national defense work; not supporting it is unacceptable.

He stood there frozen, holding the contract, unsure of how to speak.

At this moment, General Gui quickly laughed it off, "Ah, this is a tremendous matter. General Manager Liu needs more time to consider it. How can he make a decision so quickly? Right?"

Liu Xiaolin looked at the Old Leader's expectant gaze, looked at General Gui's nervous expression, who was smiling but with twitching corners of his mouth, struggled mentally for a long time, and finally made up his mind!
