Copier and System Bugs
Chapter 2703 Copier and System Bugs
The next morning, the sky was overcast and the wind was cold; the courtyard was completely silent.
Yang Xiaotao got up early to clean the heating stove and replace it with new honeycomb briquettes, and the temperature in the room gradually rose.
Ran Qiuye was dressing the children in the inner room when, without realizing it, her hand touched her belly.
Last night was quite a struggle, especially since it's a dangerous period. There might be another person in the family next year.
Thinking about the large and prosperous family, a sense of satisfaction appeared on his face.
What satisfied her even more was that her charm had not diminished.
Her own family still loves her dearly.
That feeling of being loved is especially intense.
"daughter in law!"
Yang Xiaotao's voice came from outside the door. Ran Qiuye helped Yueyue put on a sweater and then a coat before answering, "What's wrong?"
Yang Xiaotao pushed open the door and walked in. Rongrong was lying next to Dudu, poking his little face with her hand. Every time she poked him, little Dudu would grunt in protest.
Not only is resistance futile, it also excites the pranksters even more.
"Rongrong, stop poking! Hurry up and get dressed!"
Ran Qiuye said something before looking at Yang Xiaotao.
"Did you go to see Aunt Wang's family in the front yard?"
Yang Xiaotao walked into the room next door and saw that Duanwu was still lazing in bed, so he put his hand directly under the covers.
Ouch...
Duanwu let out a scream and curled up into a ball.
"You brat, get up right now and go for a run."
As she spoke, she grabbed his calf and pulled out the blanket.
"Dad, it's too cold! I'm going to sleep a little longer!"
"What's there to feel cold about? Your sister's been up for ages!"
Upon hearing this, Duanwu sat up dejectedly.
There's a stubborn kid in the family, and he's suffered a lot.
More importantly, he also has a doting mother at home, which makes his position even more difficult.
I need to find someone to share the pressure!
Looking back at the fifth child lying helplessly in bed, Duanwu's heart was filled with anticipation.
“I went with my third aunt in December. We brought her some gifts, but she refused to accept them no matter what we said!”
"In the end, it was only with the help of the three aunties that we were able to put the things down."
Ran Qiuye sighed as she said this.
When he came up to Yang Xiaotao, he saw that the collar of Yang Xiaotao's clothes was folded inside, so he reached out to help straighten it.
Wang, the woman in the front yard, lost her husband long ago. She and her father-in-law raised their two daughters alone, and the two of them usually did odd jobs at the neighborhood office to earn a living.
With the help of the people in the yard, life can continue.
Years ago, at a large meeting in the institute, Yang Xiaotao proposed a method of assistance: allowing capable families to help those in need.
Later, Yi Zhonghai took charge of helping the Wang family, but after Yi Zhonghai got into trouble and his own reputation was tarnished, the Wang family lost contact with him.
Later, Yang Xiaotao took the initiative to take on the task of providing assistance.
Of course, Yang Xiaotao wasn't being a pushover; all his actions were carried out in the name of the courtyard house. With Uncle and Aunt accompanying him, he didn't have to worry about others gossiping.
After October this year, Wang Da Niang's father-in-law fell ill and passed away, leaving only the mother and her two daughters at home, which was a double blow.
"Aunt Wang refused to accept it no matter what, saying that she had caused us a lot of trouble over the years, and now that her two granddaughters have jobs and life is getting better, she doesn't want to trouble us anymore!"
After Ran Qiuye finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Since they are capable of supporting themselves, let's forget about next year."
"But you should tell Uncle San that if anyone in the family is having any difficulties, don't be shy, just say so and help if you can!"
Ran Qiuye nodded again, and then Yang Xiaotao urged Duanwu to hurry up.
Faced with her loving father's gaze, Duanwu immediately hid her reluctance in her heart, then quickly got up, put on her shoes, and ran outside.
Yang Xiaotao glanced at Yueyue and Rongrong, who both looked reluctant to go out, and then gently said, "Hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth, we'll eat in a bit."
Ran Qiuye was speechless inside the room. How biased was this!
As I left the room, I saw Old Ye walking around in the courtyard, stretching his body.
Miaomiao and Duanwu are running laps in the courtyard.
The people in the courtyard were already familiar with this habit of the Yang family; they would even practice with wooden poles later.
"Master, where is the old Taoist priest?"
Yang Xiaotao went outside and asked, and his master pointed to the courtyard outside, "The old Taoist said there would be braised pork today, so he went there early this morning!"
"I reckon they'll be back soon!"
Just then, the old Taoist priest walked in carrying a lunchbox, looking very happy.
"You arrived just in time this morning, the first one available!"
The old Taoist priest approached with a smile and handed the lunchbox to Yang Xiaotao.
"By the way, what did you eat last night?"
Yang Xiaotao held up the lunchbox and then proudly gestured, "These steaks are so big, as thick as a finger, I ate four!"
Then, gesturing with his thumb and middle finger, he exclaimed, "These lamb chops are so long, I ate three!"
"This meal was definitely worth it!"
The master smiled from the side. He had eaten Western food when he was studying abroad in his youth, and to be honest, it didn't taste very good.
The old Taoist priest looked on with envy. These days, it's not easy to eat meat, let alone beef or lamb chops.
"And also, this wine is grape wine, the really, really expensive kind."
"It tastes different from ours..."
Yang Xiaotao boasted, while the old Taoist priest kept shaking his head, "How much money must this have cost!"
After Miaomiao and the others finished running, the group went back inside to prepare for dinner.
After everyone sat down, Yang Xiaotao picked up his chopsticks and spread chili sauce on the steamed buns made from the mixed flour. He then said to Master Ye, "By the way, Master, we need to expand production. The research institute should send people to provide technical support."
As he sipped his rice porridge, Old Ye casually asked, "Which project?"
The old Taoist was also curious. Yang Xiaotao was not in the Ninth Department all day yesterday. Later, he heard that he went to attend a banquet, but he didn't know the specifics.
Yang Xiaotao took a bite of his steamed bun. "All projects!"
"All the projects in our research institute!"
Instantly, the old Taoist priest's eyes widened.
Old Ye looked incredulous.
Even Ran Qiuye looked at Yang Xiaotao with curiosity. This wasn't just one or two people; the Ninth Department had quite a few research projects.
"All projects?"
When Mr. Ye asked again, Yang Xiaotao nodded affirmatively.
"Our department accounts for more than half of this project in cooperation with France, which is an opportunity for us to grow and expand."
"This will allow us to restructure and optimize industries in various regions, gradually expand production, increase output, and at the same time absorb and learn from French technology."
"The researchers not only need to provide technical support, but also need to understand the actual production situation; they cannot be detached from the grassroots level..."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Old Ye immediately nodded in understanding, and then said, "I think the kids from the vocational school can also go out and get some experience. There's still a month left before the New Year!"
"Okay, I'll have HR arrange it!"
After the family finished eating, Yang Xiaotao led the two of them out to work.
Although the old Taoist priest was extremely unwilling.
The elderly people in the courtyard who were about his age were all sunbathing at home, but what about him?
I still have to go to work despite the wind.
Arriving at the Ninth Division.
Yang Xiaotao went to Lao Hong's office. Now, only the two of them are still in charge at headquarters.
As for Liang Zuoxin, he didn't care about these things at all.
However, it's almost New Year's Day, and Liu Huaimin will be back soon.
Yang Youning and the other three had almost finished their work and should be able to resolve the issue soon. Yang Xiaotao told Lao Hong about the situation. At first, Lao Hong didn't quite understand, but as Yang Xiaotao was about to leave the office, he suddenly realized what was happening and jumped up, "Director Yang, we...we need to expand production?"
Yang Xiaotao stopped and turned around. "Old Hong, I already said it twice."
Old Hong ignored him and continued to look at Yang Xiaotao.
He was unaware of what happened last night, and now that Yang Xiaotao mentioned it, he still found it hard to believe.
"This time we will be engaging in trade cooperation with France. They will purchase some of our finished products and provide appropriate assistance in terms of raw material exports."
"Next, we may have so many tasks that our factories can't handle them all, so we need to be prepared to expand production."
"I've already asked the research institute to assign people to help."
Before Yang Xiaotao could finish speaking, Lao Hong immediately sat down. "I understand. You get the specific projects sorted out as soon as possible, and I'll issue a task notice right away so that all factories can prepare for the challenge."
Seeing that Lao Hong said this, Yang Xiaotao left the office.
Then he went back inside and looked at the huge stack of reports on the table, his eyebrows twitching.
Old Hong's report was sent out very quickly. By lunchtime, Old Hong's secretary had brought the completed task report to Yang Xiaotao's desk.
Upon seeing the documents delivered by the other party, Yang Xiaotao glanced at the unprocessed documents on either side and lamented inwardly, "My time is being wasted like this."
There was nothing I could do. I had gone to great lengths to get Lao Hong to help me, and if he couldn't even handle this small matter, and if he gave up, I'd be in deep trouble.
So Yang Xiaotao quickly flipped through the documents and then signed them off one by one.
Only then did he finish signing the documents before eating.
Upon receiving the document again, Lao Hong immediately contacted the leaders of various relevant departments, and the group held a meeting in the office.
In the afternoon, the heads of each project team assigned tasks, and in no time, all the factories under the Ninth Division received the headquarters' message: roll up your sleeves and get to work!
Two days later, Yang Xiaotao hung up on Liu Huaimin.
On the phone, Liu Huaimin was preparing to go to Liuzhou Machinery Factory, which was also the last stop of his trip.
They will bring people back after the internal audit is over.
This is the best news Yang Xiaotao has heard in the past two days.
Because finally someone has come back to help with official business.
Even if it's just to relieve my immediate worries, that would be good.
Upon receiving the good news, Yang Xiaotao once again took out his schedule.
In the morning, I processed documents and designed a helicopter.
In the afternoon, I processed documents and designed CNC machine tools.
Back on my familiar path, but this time it was much easier than before.
"Elementary school, please make five copies of each of these design drawings for me."
Yang Xiaotao handed several helicopter design drawings to Liu Lixue, who was processing documents.
The latter reluctantly put down the documents in his hand and could only do the task assigned by Yang Xiaotao first.
There's nothing we can do; she's someone's secretary.
Yang Xiaotao, on the other hand, continued to draw with his head down.
After a while, Liu Lixue returned to the office with a stack of design drawings, but before she could sit down, Yang Xiaotao handed her a few more, so she had to go and make copies for her again.
At this moment, Liu Lixue desperately wanted a photocopier in her office so she wouldn't have to run around like that.
Unfortunately, no.
Because the photocopiers produced by the nine companies had already been targeted.
Even Old Chen doesn't have it yet.
The reason why the ninth department kept the first photocopier was because it was the "first".
After Liu Lixue made several trips back and forth, Yang Xiaotao shifted his focus to Lou Xiao'e.
The two took turns, hardly ever resting.
This is a true reflection of their work during this period.
Yang Xiaotao ignored Liu Lixue's resentment and instead picked up the design drawing that had just been handed back, modifying the data on it.
At the same time, we keep a close eye on changes in the system.
Since the advent of photocopiers, Yang Xiaotao has updated his methods for exploiting system bugs.
Previously, people would draw in groups, and changing each coefficient required many people to work together.
But now that we have a photocopier, we can make several copies of the same part design drawing at once. This gave Yang Xiaotao a new idea and saved a lot of time.
It's a bit expensive, though.
After all, the ink used in photocopiers is expensive.
However, just as Liu Lixue sat down to rest, she saw Yang Xiaotao stand up again and immediately went to take the design drawings. Only then did she realize that he hadn't given her any design drawings. Instead, he clenched his fists and looked very excited.
Liu Lixue was taken aback, then quickly realized something.
"Minister Yang, has it been finished?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then carefully placed a stack of design drawings together before taking a deep breath. "It's done."
"The helicopter design drawings have been completed."
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief.
Similarly, Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e also breathed a sigh of relief.
Now my thighs don't feel sore anymore.
"Go and tell Director Li Haonan and the others this good news. They'll be very busy from now on."
As Yang Xiaotao spoke, Lou Xiao'e immediately ran out of the office excitedly.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao's cup was empty, Liu Lixue immediately went to make tea.
At this moment, Yang Xiaotao was looking at the system messages in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations host, you have successfully designed a helicopter."
"Ding! Congratulations, host! System rating: Excellent - Up!"
"Ding, congratulations host, you have gained 20000 credits."
These three pieces of information made Yang Xiaotao feel that his efforts had been rewarded.
The excellent rating is enough to demonstrate the excellence of the helicopter in front of us.
As long as it is manufactured according to the design drawings, the embarrassing situation of it falling down should not happen again.
As for the internal software, that depends on the situation in China.
Of course, what made Yang Xiaotao happiest was the reward of 20,000 academic credits.
Now, with the existing credits, I have over 40,000 credits, and I'm not far from needing 50,000 credits to upgrade my main skill.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao glanced at his system panel.

Nothing much has changed, except that all the items in the redemption section are related to Tianjin. Could there be some kind of 'hint' here?
I only thought about it for a moment, then immediately put it out of my mind.
Then he became happy because he had found a shortcut to exploit a system bug.
Helicopters are fine, so CNC machine tools are fine too.
"Wouldn't it be simpler to wait until the computer is developed, and then combine it with the operating system and a photocopier?"
Thinking about this makes me even more excited about computers.
