Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

After the New Year, when Li Tianhu gets married, Li's father plans to divide the family property. After that, they will live with the eldest brother, and Li Tianhu will move to the new house. This was also agreed upon beforehand.

Soon the pork and green onion dumplings were out of the pot. Mother Li and Xiaoxue brought the dumplings to the living room, and the family began to eat happily.

After dinner, Li's mother left Li Tianyi's family. Xiaoxue and Li Tianyi sat on the bed and chatted about some private matters. Xiaoxue also knew that Li Tianyi might be doing some secret mission, so she didn't ask much, but just asked Li Tianyi to be careful.

Li Tianyi hugged Xiaoxue and assured her, "Don't worry, I'm in Sijiu City. You don't have to worry even if I don't come back for a few days."

Xiaoxue didn't say anything, but just snuggled in Li Tianyi's arms. Li Tianyi looked at his two sons in the crib, who were pouting their little mouths, snoring, and sleeping like little pigs.

The next morning, Li Tianyi went to the Academy of Sciences with his work certificate.

The academy of sciences had high walls and a closed iron gate. One could not see what was going on inside from the outside. Two soldiers with guns were standing at the door.

As soon as Li Tianyi approached the gate, a soldier spoke out to stop him from getting closer, and another soldier had already pulled the bolt of his gun, ready to fire at any time.

Li Tianyi quickly stood still and took out his work certificate from his pocket. "Hello comrade, I'm here to report."

The soldier took the letter of certification from Li Tianyi, then opened the small window on the iron gate and passed the letter inside.

Li Tianyi stood there quietly waiting. After a while, the small door on the iron gate opened and a young man came out. He said something to the soldier, then walked up to Li Tianyi and extended his hand. "Hello, you must be Engineer Li Tianyi. I am Xiao Zhang, the secretary of Mr. Tang, the leader of the computer team. Mr. Tang asked me to take you in."

Li Tianyi shook hands with Secretary Zhang. "Hello, Secretary Zhang. Thank you for your help."

Afterwards, the two men walked into the Academy of Sciences. As soon as they entered the gate, Li Tianyi saw several six-story buildings standing in the yard. Next to the buildings were huge workshops, and there were several jeeps parked in the yard.

Secretary Zhang took Li Tianyi into a building, went up to the second floor, and came to a conference room. "Engineer Li, Mr. Tang and the others are waiting for you inside. Please go in."

When Li Tianyi pushed open the door, he saw a group of old men and women sitting at a long table. When they saw someone coming in, they all looked towards the door.

Li Tianyi was not nervous. He just bowed slightly and introduced himself with a smile, "Hello, seniors. I am Li Tianyi and I am here to report today."

No one spoke in the conference room. After a while, the elderly man sitting at the head said, "Xiao Li, welcome to the computer group of the Academy of Sciences. Please find a seat and sit down first."

After that, the meeting room began to discuss things. Li Tianyi quietly found a secluded place and sat down. He knew that today they were trying to show him their power, as these old men and women looked down on him.

It doesn't matter. When there's a chance, I'll make them bow down to him.

In fact, ever since Li Tianyi entered the conference room, Mr. Tang began to observe him secretly. They had all read Li Tianyi's paper before, but they didn't believe that it was written by a young man in his twenties. However, the dean gave an accurate answer that this was written by Li Tianyi.

Many people were not convinced and wanted to meet this young man. Although they might not have any bad intentions, they were all old people who had lived through the old society and they still couldn't let go of their pride. Moreover, these people were basically people who had studied abroad, but now they had lost an undergraduate student who studied mechanical engineering. How could these old men and women feel good about it?

That's why what happened today happened. Looking at Li Tianyi's calm expression, Mr. Tang changed his tone and started discussing Li Tianyi's thesis.

Then Mr. Tang suggested that Li Tianyi explain the thesis to everyone. Although they could understand the thesis, they could only understand a lot of the knowledge in it based on their own knowledge. If Li Tianyi had real talent and knowledge, he would definitely be able to answer their questions. If not, then they could just go back to where they came from. This was also the reason why Secretary Zhang did not take Li Tianyi to the Human Resources Department to report at the beginning, but came directly to the meeting room.

Dean Zhang of the Academy of Sciences also heard about this. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Mr. Tang's arrangement, he also wanted to see if Li Tianyi had real ability, so he put down his work, went to the conference room, and walked in through the back door.

At this time, Li Tianyi had already walked to the blackboard and began to explain his thesis, while also extending some other knowledge.

This group of old people went from being careless at the beginning to listening seriously now, and they would write something in their notebooks from time to time. They didn't notice the arrival of Dean Zhang. Dean Zhang stopped the secretary's actions and sat quietly on the chairs, listening to the class carefully.

And the secretaries were sent out to guard the door and not let anyone get close.

Two hours later, Li Tianyi finished his paper and said to the crowd: "Everyone, if you have any questions, please ask. I will answer them on the spot."

As soon as Li Tianyi finished speaking, there was a commotion around the conference table and everyone raised their hands. Li Tianyi pointed to an old man, who raised a question in his mind and Li Tianyi gave a detailed answer.

For the next half hour, the conference room was filled with questions. When no one asked any questions, Mr. Tang raised his hand again. Li Tian nodded slightly, and Mr. Tang asked, "Engineer Li, have you written a new computer program?"

Li Tianyi didn't expect that Mr. Tang's intuition would be so sharp. He didn't reflect this in his paper at all, but since it was mentioned, Li Tianyi admitted it openly, "Yes, I have a new computer system programming here."

The whole room was in an uproar, and Dean Zhang also stood up excitedly. At this time, everyone in the room realized that Dean Zhang had also come. Elder Tang walked up to Dean Zhang and said, "Old Zhang, why are you here? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Dean Zhang waved his hand and said, "Old Tang, don't be nervous. I came here to listen to Engineer Li's lecture. I didn't expect Engineer Li's level to be so high, and I also gained something unexpected today."

As they spoke, the two of them came to the front of the stage. Mr. Tang introduced Dean Zhang to Li Tianyi, and Li Tianyi hurriedly greeted him.

Afterwards, Mr. Tang announced the adjournment of the meeting and everyone left the conference room. When passing by Li Tianyi, the elderly people all said goodbye to him with a smile. Li Tianyi responded one by one. He knew that he had won the recognition of these elderly people.

When only three people including Mr. Tang were left in the conference room, Dean Zhang asked, "Engineer Li, when do you plan to start work?"

Li Tianyi thought for a moment, then said, "After I report, I will write a list of what I need. The institute will be responsible for purchasing the components for making integrated circuits. As for the original computer, do we need to make a new one or modify the existing one at the Academy of Sciences? This requires a decision from the institute."
