Chapter 213: Chapter 212: Leadership Making Trouble? My Son Handles It with One Finger!

"It lit up!"

"It really lit up!"

Jiang Zhou’s tears suddenly flowed down.

The few old technicians beside him cried louder than him.

"Oh my God... the colors are so true..."

"It looks just like the real thing..."

At the workshop entrance, a few of Director Wang’s cronies who were waiting to see a joke froze their mocking faces.

They stood with their mouths open, as if someone had grabbed their throats, unable to say a word.

Lin Wan Yi walked up to the prototype, gently stroking its slightly warm casing.

She succeeded.

Just at this moment.

"Beep beep"

A shrill car horn shattered the morning silence.

A brand new black Volga car drove directly to the workshop entrance.

The car door opened.

A middle-aged man with glasses and a refined demeanor got out first, opening the rear car door for a man with slightly gray hair and extraordinary presence to step out.

"Director He!"

Someone in the crowd recognized him as the head of the Provincial Department of Industry, Director He.

Following behind Director He was a man with a protruding belly and a greasy face.

Vice Director Zhang from the City Industrial Bureau.

He was Wang Defa’s backing in the city.

Vice Director Zhang immediately saw Wang Defa being held by soldiers and the surrounding armed troops.

His face instantly darkened.

"What’s going on!"

His voice was full of official authority.

"Who gave you the power to use the military in a factory?"

His gaze, like a knife, shot towards Gu Yanshen.

"Mr. Gu, isn’t it? You have quite the authority!"

"The military’s hand has reached into our local enterprises?"

"This is a serious violation of discipline! I will report you to the military district!"

He casually placed the heavy charge of "military interference in politics."

The workers who had just ignited a glimmer of hope turned pale again.

They weren’t afraid of the rogue factory director, but they feared official collusion.

Gu Yanshen stood there, straight and expressionless.

He didn’t even glance at the shouting Vice Director Zhang.

He saluted Director He with a standard military gesture.

Then he took a file folder from the guard’s hand and handed it to Director He’s secretary, Section Chief Xie.

"Director He, here is all the evidence against Director Wang Defa of the color TV factory for embezzling state assets, replacing imported components with inferior materials, nearly causing a major production accident."

"Including his handwritten confession and the original account books that have been transferred and hidden."

His voice was clear and steady.

Each word was like a bullet.

Section Chief Xie opened the file folder, and after just a glance, his hand trembled slightly.

He quickly walked over to Director He, handing over the contents.

Director He’s face grew darker with each turn of the pages.

Vice Director Zhang’s forehead began to sweat.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found his throat too dry to make a sound.

Just when the tension reached its peak.

Lin Wan Yi pushed the TV set and slowly walked out of the crowd.

She stood before Director He, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Director He, no matter how detailed the report, it can’t compare to seeing it with your own eyes."

She bent down and pressed the TV’s power button.

"Click."

The screen lit up.

The bright red flag appeared before everyone again.

More stable and vivid than before.

Director He’s gaze was instantly drawn to it.

Having dealt with industrial products all his life, what kind of machines hadn’t he seen?

Yet the scene before him still felt shocking.

In this era, color TVs were impressive if they could even display an image.

Color accuracy? Most appeared distorted and unrealistic.

But this TV...

Red was red, green was green.

Clear enough to see every line on the flag.

"This..."

Director He reached out as if wanting to touch the virtual image.

"Was this assembled by us?"

"Yes," Lin Wan Yi replied, "using those parts that Wang Defa deemed ’scrap’."

Director He turned around, glaring firmly at the pale-faced Vice Director Zhang.

"Alright then."

He squeezed out the words through clenched teeth.

"Director Zhang, is this how your city bureau supervises?"

Vice Director Zhang shuddered, sweating profusely.

"Director... I... I..."

He stammered for a long time, failing to say a complete sentence.

Suddenly.

"Zeee—"

The image on the screen flickered violently and turned into static.

The signal was lost.

Vice Director Zhang, as if grasping a lifeline, immediately jumped up.

"I knew it!"

He pointed at the TV, his voice regaining its sharp edge.

"Just a flashy piece of junk! I knew it was just a fluke it turned on!"

"Director He, look, it’s completely unstable! This is deceiving the leadership and wasting national resources!"

The workers’ hearts were once again in their throats.

Jiang Zhou was in a panic, sweating profusely, and rushed over to check the antenna.

But the antenna was temporarily set up on the windowsill. He fiddled with it for a long time, but the screen was still full of static.

Despair.

The hope that had just risen seemed about to vanish again.

At that moment.

Gu An, who was being held in Gu Yanshen’s arms, impatiently furrowed his small brows.

He thought these adults were very noisy.

He also found the static on the screen very irritating.

He reached out his chubby little finger and pointed to a corner of the window frame.

It was a wire Jiang Zhou had casually laid for grounding.

The end of the wire happened to press on a piece of rusty metal.

"Iron."

Gu An uttered a word, his voice clear and with a hint of disdain.

"Bad."

He added another word.

Everyone was stunned.

Following his finger, they looked over.

Professor Liu was the first to react, slapping his thigh.

"Ground interference!"

Jiang Zhou also snapped to attention and rushed over.

He moved the wire end away from the rusty metal and clamped it onto the clean aluminum window frame next to it.

Instantly.

"Zzz"

The static disappeared.

An incredibly clear picture jumped out suddenly.

The image was as stable as an oil painting.

The red flag fluttered, and you could even hear the sound of the wind.

The whole room, everyone looked at the little one in Gu Yanshen’s arms as if they were looking at an immortal.

Vice Director Zhang’s mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg, and his expression was more miserable than swallowing ten pounds of bitter herbs.

"Great!"

Director He clapped his hands vigorously and strode over. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

He neither looked at the TV nor the technicians.

His gaze was fixed intensely on Gu An.

"Hahaha!"

"Good kid! You’re our great expert!"

Director He laughed heartily, reaching out to hug Gu An.

"Come, let Uncle He give you a hug!"

Gu An looked at the smiling face approaching him and furrowed his brows even tighter.

He twisted his small body and buried his face directly into Gu Yanshen’s chest.

The refusal was unmistakable.

Director He’s hand awkwardly halted in mid-air.

The atmosphere around became subtly awkward.

Vice Director Zhang’s lips curled into a schadenfreude smile.

Serves you right for trying to suck up and failing.

Lin Wan Yi felt a pang in her heart and was about to speak up to break the tension.

"Giggle~"

The Gu Ning in her arms suddenly laughed.

The little girl, like a soft rice ball, opened her chubby little arms towards Director He.

"Uncle... hug!"

Her voice was soft and sticky, like it was coated in honey.

Director He’s embarrassment was instantly melted by this heavenly child’s voice.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around, carefully taking Gu Ning from Lin Wan Yi’s arms.

Gu Ning wasn’t the least bit shy.

She wrapped her arms around Director He’s neck and gave him a loud kiss on the cheek.

Leaving a shiny drool mark.

"Oh my!"

Director He’s heart completely melted.

"This girl is truly a festive New Year painting baby!"

He bounced Gu Ning, unable to hide the smile on his face.

Turning around with the child in his arms, his smile quickly disappeared.

He looked at the ashen-faced Vice Director Zhang, his voice turning cold.

"Director Zhang."

"Isn’t that right?"

"From today, the color TV project will be directly taken over by the provincial department and listed as a provincial key project."

"As for your municipal bureau..."

Director He paused, his gaze sharp as a knife.

"Inadequate supervision, lack of judgment! Go back and write me a ten-thousand-word deep reflection!"

"And!"

He pointed at the collapsed Wang Defa.

"This kind of parasite to the nation must be severely punished! Strictly dealt with!"

Vice Director Zhang’s legs went weak.

He knew he was done for.

Wang Defa’s backing had completely crumbled at that moment.

Director He, with the giggling Gu Ning in his arms, his gaze once again fell on the vividly colored television.
