Break out of the courtyard

"If I learn Chinese, can I join your company?" Wang Sumei asked with a frown.

"You wish!" Zhang Heping sneered, "If protesting is useful, what's the point of fighting for your reputation?"

"So what are your plans?" Wang Sumei's brows relaxed slightly, but her tone was still a little worried. She didn't know what Zhang Heping's next move would be, or even that she didn't understand his plan.

"These are a group of cowardly bandits standing outside our city walls! They are liars! Thieves!" Zhang Heping stood on the shore, looking at the glitz on the island on the other side, and said slowly:

"We want to rush out of the city gate and start trading with the outside world. We need to think about how to numb them and deceive them. At the same time, we also need to consider how to strengthen ourselves!"

"The Eagle Country has subtly changed the world with its Eagle language. I plan to assimilate the world with free Chinese systems, software, and our culture!"

Wang Sumei looked at Liu Yuan in astonishment, wanting to confirm that she had not heard wrong!

However, Zhang Heping's words continued.

"A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as not being able to have sex!" Zhang Heping sneered, "The human weaknesses summarized by our ancestors are still very applicable to foreigners hundreds of years later!"

Liu Yuan asked in surprise, "You want to keep them from stealing, whet their appetite, and then sell the technology to them at a high price?"

"Free is the most expensive!" Zhang Heping said disdainfully, "I have allowed their Japanese sons and the Eagle country guys to enter my company. If you want to learn technology, go find their sons and allies!"

Although Wang Sumei understood Zhang Heping's plan, she was still a little worried. "Can you guarantee that your technology will always be ahead of them?"

"We don't need to be ahead all the time!" Zhang Heping said confidently, "We just need to keep launching office, security, engineering, entertainment and other software programmed in Chinese, build an Internet ecosystem for the Chinese system, and attract a group of loyal foreign users."

Japanese island, Eastern capital.

"Father!" Miss Suzuki and her husband came in and said impatiently to the former mayor Suzuki who was watering the flowers:

"Huifeng Bank's electronic trading system has been replaced with a Chinese version, and the umbrella company has still signed an agreement to guarantee that if the software vulnerability causes losses to the bank, the umbrella company will pay compensation."

Former Mayor Suzuki asked casually, "Oh? Have those small banks in Hong Kong Island installed this electronic trading system?"

Miss Suzuki said solemnly, "According to feedback from Hong Kong Island, the Umbrella Company has already signed relevant agreements with those small banks. They are only waiting for Huifeng Bank to upgrade their new electronic trading system after a month of trial."

"It seems that Mr. Zhang is very confident in his skills!" The former mayor Suzuki put down the shower head, turned around and took his daughter and son-in-law to the tea table under the eaves.

Miss Suzuki knelt down at the table and poured tea for her father and husband before continuing, "Father, we and hundreds of computer experts from OMG have spent two weeks trying to crack the boot passwords of the five laptops left by Zhang Sang."

"For this reason, we want to organize a group of high school students to transfer to Hong Kong Island to prepare for admission to Peace Vocational Training College. According to the latest intelligence feedback, their computer software major requires a Level 4 Chinese test score of more than 70 points."

After taking a sip of tea, the former mayor Suzuki smiled faintly and said, "Letting Aso organize this group of high school students can indeed accumulate some political achievements for him. However, have you ever considered the people of Magnesium?"

"The Magnesian?" Miss Suzuki frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "After the Magnesian protest in Hong Kong failed, they went to the capital of the mainland to protest again, but the Peace Group still refused to recruit the Magnesian."

"If we allow the Magnesium people to join our Japanese nationality and then apply for a job at the Peace Group, I'm worried that Zhang Sang will be angry with us, not to mention whether they will agree."

Former Mayor Suzuki suggested: "Under the premise that the Magnesium people can't join the Peace Group no matter what, you should consider the Magnesium people and let Aso accumulate some connections with the Magnesium people!"

Capital, a certain sea office.

"Report, the latest news from Shenzhen is that the Heping Automobile Factory's fully automatic unwinding and blanking production line has successfully cut out the first batch of sheet metal after loading the Chinese-programmed industrial software. The only thing missing is the stamping equipment."

"Oh? Is it going so smoothly?" The old man behind the desk looked at the male secretary at the door in surprise and asked, "Did the Heping Automobile Factory tell us about the quality of Shougang's batch of electrogalvanized steel strips?"

The secretary walked closer and answered respectfully, "It is said that the stress parameters of the steel strips did not meet the standards, but after adjusting the program of the fully automatic unwinding and blanking production line, the leader was able to adapt to the production of this batch of steel strips. Later, the stamping program needs to be adjusted to adapt to this batch of unqualified steel strips before they can be finally stamped and formed."

"They can actually adapt unqualified steel strips for production. Great, great, great!" The old man said three times in a row, and then said seriously: "Let Shougang immediately send engineers to Shenzhen to connect with the Heping Automobile Factory to improve their production process and ensure the quality of the steel strips supplied in the future!"

The secretary quickly replied: "Shougang sent engineers to go south with this batch of electrogalvanized steel strips. After they communicated with the leader, the leader agreed to go to Shougang to check their production process problems after visiting the stamping equipment manufacturer."

"So, Leader Goose is going to the southwest recently?" The old man was a little surprised. "Doesn't he care about the things in Hong Kong Island?"

"According to the feedback from the geese, the leader has handed over the computer work to his eldest son Zhang Bei and the technical manager of the umbrella, Tang Wei." The secretary smiled and continued, "Currently, those foreigners are worried about the Level 4 Chinese test and are looking for people to learn our simplified Chinese characters."

"We need to strongly support educating foreigners, and we can ask Shenzhen to help us make the connection!" The old man smiled when he heard the news. "Also, we need to pay special attention to Zhangbei's recent performance."

"Oh, right!" The old man seemed to have just remembered, "I heard that they went to Wudaokou during the summer vacation. They should have been investigating the university there. Notify Shuimu University to actively deal with this matter. Don't miss the opportunity to keep them!"

The secretary smiled and said, "I heard that Shuimu University treats those five returning graduates as treasures and asks them to analyze the Chinese system every day. If Zhang Bei expresses his desire to study there, Shuimu University will probably send someone to fly to Hong Kong Island overnight to recruit people."

Hong Kong Island, Victoria Peak, Zhang family villa.

"Young Master, are you sure our master wants us to memorize this Book of Changes?" Tang Wei, the technical manager of the Umbrella Protection Department, was holding a copy of the Book of Changes and looked at Zhang Bei with a bit of a headache.

"No!" Zhang Bei sat in his father's boss chair, staring at the computer screen, and said casually: "People who want to learn the basic language logic of Chinese programming in depth need to memorize this book; those who don't want to learn don't need to read it, just understand how to use the relevant software."

Tang Wei hesitated for a moment before opening the traditional Chinese version of the Book of Changes. "What does the basic Chinese programming language logic have to do with this Book of Changes?"

"People outside think that my father simply used '丨' and '一' to replace 1 and 0, but they don't know the underlying logic of the Chinese system. It uses the yang yao '一' and the yin yao '--' to replace binary; and then, it also combines the ideas of the two yin and yang, the four images, and the eight trigrams." Zhang Bei didn't look at Tang Wei who was confused, and continued:

"My dad didn't ask you to memorize it because he thought you couldn't learn it. If you want to learn it, you have to memorize the I Ching first, at least until you are familiar with it, so that you can understand the underlying logic of the Chinese system. Otherwise, I can't teach you."

Looking at the book in his hand and listening to Zhang Bei's words, Tang Wei felt confused and had the idea of ​​retreating.

However, when he remembered what his father said, he gritted his teeth and agreed to it, "Thank you, young master. I will take the book back and memorize it first. If I don't understand, I will ask you for help."

"This is just the first one. There are still some ancient books to memorize." Zhang Bei kindly reminded: "If you can't memorize it, read it a few more times. When you learn the underlying logic of the Chinese system in the future, at least you know which book to look for information."

【Fill in the blank】It says “（__）parking” here, so they had to park the car over there.

In a simple warehouse on Hong Kong Island, a Level 4 Chinese language test is being conducted. The organizer is a small training organization without any qualifications, but that doesn't stop them from having mainland training teachers and mock questions circulated from within the Umbrella Company.

Among the candidates present, there were blond foreigners scratching their heads and young workers with messy hair.

"No need to peek!" The invigilator on the stage said in a rather vulgar tone, "Even if you succeed in cheating this time, will you succeed in the exam at the Umbrella Corporation?"

"In their exam room, there are not only surveillance cameras, but also two invigilators watching from the front and back. How could you cheat?"

July 12, Sunday.

Zhang Pandi, who had stayed in Hong Kong Island for more than 4 days, was finally about to set off back to the mainland after helping Zhang Bei complete the last Level Chinese test paper.

The reason why she stayed so long was mainly because the Guangdong Provincial Tourism Bureau was afraid that the first group of tourists to Hong Kong would stay in Hong Kong Island and not go back, so they asked Zhang Pandi to stay at her third brother's house for a few more days, and when the tourist visa deadline was approaching, they would persuade those who were unwilling to go back to return.

Fortunately, in less than a month, those dozen men, women, young and old returned to Guangdong Province one after another. The last old lady who went to Hong Kong to visit relatives left by train this morning.

At this point, after communicating with Hong Kong Eagle Airlines for more than half a year about the issue of traveling to Hong Kong, the situation was finally successfully resolved.

Zhang Pandi contacted the capital's foreign affairs department through the Guangdong Provincial Tourism Bureau and confirmed that she could fly directly back to the capital.

However, what she didn't expect was that Tang Xin and Chen Shuting went out to see her off this afternoon, and they actually used 6 cars and nearly 30 bodyguards to accompany them.

The key point is that the security guards in the airport are very familiar with those bodyguards, and they seem to be her third brother's subordinates. This made Zhang Pandi refresh her understanding of Zhang Heping again.

Zhang Pandi was sitting in the terminal lounge, and asked Tang Xin and Chen Shuting who were sitting beside her, "You don't usually bring so many bodyguards with you when you go out?"

"This is an airport. It's easy for someone to hijack you and take you aboard." Chen Shuting looked at the security personnel standing around and explained:

"However, our Kai Tak Airport does not allow outsiders to bring guns in, so it is relatively safe, but it cannot be ruled out that someone on the incoming plane may bring guns or dangerous goods into the station, so we have to be careful."

Zhang Pandi asked uncertainly, "Is Hong Kong Island dangerous?"

"It's been better in the past two years." Chen Shuting replied lightly, without mentioning the bloody incident in Kowloon Tong, so as not to worry Ma Xiuzhen and the others.

While the three of them were chatting here, the bodyguards around them had already rudely driven away several waves of people.

After sending Zhang Pandi on the plane back to the capital, when Tang Xin and Chen Shuting walked out of the terminal hall, foreigners from Mexico, South Korea, Indonesia and other countries on the blacklist of the Peace Group who had rushed over after hearing the news had already blocked the terminal entrance with foreign media reporters.

But Kai Tak Airport is completely controlled by Air, Land and Sea Co., Ltd. under the Peace Group. How could it allow those foreigners to get what they want?

So, Tang Xin and Chen Shuting came directly to the tarmac, got into the Zhang family's bulletproof car, and left directly through the airport fire escape.

After Tang Xin and Chen Shuting returned to Renheyi Community, they encountered another problem.

Miss Suzuki, along with a group of Japanese students in school uniforms, stood guard outside the gate.

"Ms. Suzuki, sorry to have kept you waiting." Chen Shuting walked to the gate, with eight bodyguards scattered on both sides.

The first wife, Tang Xin, ignored what was happening outside and went home.

"What do you mean?" Chen Shuting looked at the group of Japanese students. The male students were nothing good to look at, but none of the female students were ugly.

"Chairman Chen, I'm here this time for two reasons: first, to visit Mr. Zhang, and second, to transfer these students to Hong Kong Island Middle School to learn Chinese in preparation for enrolling in the Peace Vocational Training School next year." Miss Suzuki bowed slightly and answered politely.

"My husband is not at home. If you are free, you can come in and sit for a while. But they can't." After saying this, Chen Shuting turned around and went back to the community, seeming a little unkind.

However, given the current status of the Zhang family and the Peace Group run by Chen Shuting, being able to stand at the gate of the community and ask outsiders about their purpose was already giving them face.

Therefore, there was nothing unusual on the face of Miss Suzuki.

She just thought about it for a moment, then asked the students to wait in the car. She then quickly walked into the Renheyi Community and caught up with Chen Shuting.

"Chairman Chen, I heard that you have removed the Dongdu Ginza flagship store. Is it because we did something wrong?" Miss Suzuki deliberately lowered her attitude. In fact, she had already found out about the actions of Peace Real Estate Company in Tsim Sha Tsui, because they did not conceal the purpose of Peace Plaza.

"No!" Chen Shuting said calmly, "This is just a business adjustment of our company. In the future, we will only sell Tingmei Trading Company's products in Hong Kong Island to avoid being falsely accused by foreigners of having quality problems with our products."

"Chairman Chen, we in Japan have never doubted the quality of your company's products, nor have we abused our market supervision power like European countries. Do you think your company can continue to open a store in Ginza?" Miss Suzuki smiled apologetically:

"As far as I know, the performance of the Toudou Ginza flagship store was on the rise, and it is a pity to close it just like that."

"I will tell my husband about this and see what he thinks then." Chen Shuting walked into the villa without looking back, and asked the nanny to pour tea for the guests.

Miss Suzuki talked a lot and finally explained her real purpose when it was almost time for lunch. She wanted some mock papers for the Level 4 Chinese test.

If it were just mock questions, it wouldn't matter, because Zhang Heping had specifically instructed that the mock questions should be distributed in small batches to pave the way for subsequent recruitment exams, so as to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to recruit anyone.

So, Chen Shuting called Zhang Bei in the study on the second floor. After getting the consent of Zhang Bei, the temporary person in charge of the computer business, she took Miss Suzuki upstairs.

Because of her father's previous reminder, Miss Suzuki paid special attention to the layout and furnishings of the Zhang family's study after entering it.

Of the 10 computers on the middle desk, two are turned on, and Zhang Heping's twin sons are playing computer games there.

The computer on the desk on the left is not used by anyone, it should be Chen Shuting's seat.

On the desk on the right, which had four monitors, a young man was typing on the keyboard.

Miss Suzuki remembered that the last time she saw this desk, there were only two monitors. Now there are four monitors, which means that the hardware of the host has been upgraded!

She had this understanding because after her father reminded her that the number of stolen hard drives was incorrect, she went to the Computer Research Institute and studied computer hardware knowledge for two days.

Miss Suzuki walked a little closer, not to look at the stack of test papers marked with Level 4 Chinese Test on the desk, but to carefully look at Zhang Heping's eldest son, Zhang Bei!

Gold-rimmed glasses, delicate face, fair skin...
