"The other side transported it by fighter jet!"
Feng Daochun's words nearly made Wang Yu, who had been looking calm, choke on his own saliva.
Fighter jet?
My thrice-great-grandfather's second uncle!
Fighter jet? Can this thing enter our country's airspace?
Did he mishear, or was Feng Daochun dreaming?
"It's not wrong, it's a fighter jet! A very large one, a fighter transport jet, Director!"
Feng Daochun also looked disbelieving.
"We didn't know you had connections to the Ice Bear Kingdom for subcontracting and ordering parts. And they actually sent over a super-sized fighter jet... Of course, all the weapons and equipment were removed.
The plane entered the country overnight yesterday, and all the paperwork has been handled at the embassy. We don't know how they pulled it off.
In short, this fighter jet passed all inspections and reviews, and has now legally entered the country to transport our goods.
Because of this, Secretary Yang was summoned by his superiors last night and reprimanded all night.
They said such a big matter wasn't reported in advance, catching us all off guard!"
Feng Daochun said with a wry smile.
"Secretary Yang just managed to find time to call me a moment ago to explain this. He said the Ice Bear Kingdom's fighter jet didn't have time to reach the provincial airport, so they chose to land directly in a wasteland north of our county. He told us to prepare to receive all the orders.
And Secretary Yang also said..."
Feng Daochun stopped speaking.
"What else did he say?" Wang Yu pressed.
"He said that you didn't inform him about this kind of thing in advance, and you'll be kicked in the butt when you get back!
Also, don't mess up this shipment and these orders, or it won't just be a kick in the butt!"
"I..."
Wang Yu felt a herd of alpacas stampede through his mind. For the usually good-tempered Secretary Yang to curse like this, it must mean he was under considerable pressure from above.
But Wang Yu also didn't expect the Ice Bear Kingdom's operation to be so audacious, promising delivery in three days and actually delivering it in three days!
It's just that using a fighter jet... even if it's a fighter transport jet, it's still a fighter jet.
Transporting goods by fighter jet? What normal person's imagination would come up with this?
Even Wang Yu, a reincarnated person with two lives, couldn't have imagined they would do something like this!
The most crucial thing is that not only did they do it, but they also passed our country's review and inspection? How resourceful must they be!
It truly lives up to being a warrior nation, doesn't it?
To create such a big fuss just to transport a batch of goods... How hardcore is that?
If this were written as a novel, no one would believe it.
Seeing Wang Yu seem a bit dazed, Feng Daochun on the side quickly asked.
"Um... Director, should we go to the wasteland north of the city to welcome this fighter jet?"
Hearing Feng Daochun's words, Wang Yu quickly came back to his senses and said with annoyance, "Isn't that obvious? Didn't you hear the Secretary say that if we mess this up, it won't just be a kick in the butt!
Although the higher-ups were caught off guard by this incident, they should still be quite satisfied. After all, we're generating foreign exchange and also supporting an ally. We've got both face and substance."
Wang Yu mused, stroking his chin.
"So we're not only blameless but also meritorious?"
Feng Daochun's eyes lit up.
"On the condition that it's not messed up. If you mess it up, you'll definitely be punished doubly!"
Wang Yu said.
"Ah?"
"What 'ah'? What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and arrange personnel to receive the goods." Wang Yu roared at Feng Daochun.
The latter quickly came to his senses and rushed off to arrange manpower.
"Right, get Andre. We'll need him as a translator in case of language barriers. Also, try to find some old employees who won't gossip. We don't want too many people spreading rumors."
Wang Yu added.
"Yes, Director."
Feng Daochun repeatedly agreed and bustled out, leaving Wang Yu alone at the new factory, watching the busy workers.
"What... the hell is this?"
Wang Yu shook his head helplessly and then turned to leave.
...
On the northern outskirts of Jiangyang County, there's a large area of saline-alkali wasteland. Because nothing grows there, it has always been abandoned, occupying a vast empty space.
Originally, this place was desolate, and very few people would come here throughout the year.
However, today it was packed to the brim, with a large crowd.
Wang Yu dispatched as many as 20 trucks and farm vehicles, and 50 motorized scooters. If it were just to receive orders, it would be overkill.
But since they were using a fighter jet to transport the goods, they naturally had to put on a good show, otherwise, it would be troublesome if Secretary Yang lost face.
Therefore, Wang Yu directed all the vehicles to divide into two rows, neatly arranged in a line, like two straight steel dragons, looking very orderly and imposing.
Then, all the vehicle headlights were turned on, and their dazzling lights formed two guiding beacons in the approaching night.
Just like... airport runway lights, so they could be seen from afar from high in the sky.
Wang Yu, along with the cadres from the auto factory and some key workers, stood on both sides, looking up expectantly, quietly waiting for the Ice Bear Kingdom's fighter jet to land.
"Why haven't they arrived yet? My neck is getting sore from looking up."
The petite and cute Wang Ling muttered discontentedly from the side.
After finishing all her homework, she heard about the big plane arriving and insisted on coming to see.
Wang Yu didn't even think about refusing. What would it look like for her to be involved in such an occasion? People might think he was playing favorites.
But Wu Lingling insisted on bringing Wang Ling. According to her, Xiao Ling was young and should be allowed to see the world. What was wrong with seeing a big plane, and a fighter jet at that? How many people never get to see one in person their whole lives?
If Wang Yu refused, she would bring Wang Ling along as her assistant!
Wang Yu couldn't refuse Wu Lingling and reluctantly agreed. Of course, there were conditions: Wang Ling had to behave and not interfere.
Now, hearing Wang Ling's dissatisfied complaint, Wang Yu glared at her.
His gaze seemed to say, "Haven't you finished enough homework yet?"
Upon meeting Wang Yu's gaze, Wang Ling immediately shrank behind Wu Lingling like a quail.
"Xiao Ling is still young, why are you glaring at her?" Wu Lingling said displeasedly to Wang Yu.
"Hmph, still young. When I was her age, I was already earning work points to support the family."
Wang Yu snorted. He was about to say more when he faintly heard the roar of an engine.
"They're here!"
Andre, in the crowd, excitedly threw away his bottle of Erguotou and roared.
