At noon, Xu Mengyao went to the company.
Lin Xiaoqian took a nap, and Lin Chen was at home reading a book.
“Ding-dong—”
The doorbell rang.
Lin Chen opened the door, and outside was a middle-aged man in plain clothes, but Lin Chen could sense a stern aura about him.
“Hello, who are you?”
Lin Chen asked.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Mr. Lin, I’m from the capital. I have something I’d like to discuss with you. Would it be alright if I spoke to you inside?”
“Please come in.”
“No need to take off your shoes. I clean every day,”
Lin Chen said.
The middle-aged man entered the living room and saw a book on the coffee table about high-energy weapon research.
“Mr. Lin, you are extremely talented. The higher-ups would like to invite you to join a top research institution and will provide you with all kinds of resources.”
“I wonder what your intentions are?”
The middle-aged man said.
Lin Chen looked at him. The other party's identity should be legitimate, otherwise the country would have intercepted him.
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m not interested in joining these institutions,”
Lin Chen shook his head.
“Mr. Lin, the higher-ups will give you great support. Your annual research funding will not be less than one billion.”
“You can also access the most cutting-edge theories and all kinds of state-of-the-art equipment,”
The middle-aged man persuaded.
Lin Chen: “I can earn one billion myself. As for the most cutting-edge theories… perhaps the theories I propose in the future will be the most cutting-edge.”
“My main priority right now is taking care of my daughter.”
The middle-aged man said, “Mr. Lin, if you join a top scientific research institution, your daughter, Lin Xiaoqian, will definitely receive the best education.”
Lin Chen smiled.
“What Qianqian needs now is not the best education, but love from her dad.”
The middle-aged man wanted to say more.
Lin Chen raised his hand to stop him and said, “Don’t try to persuade me. If our country was very poor and backward, facing a life-or-death crisis, I would definitely choose the country over my family.”
“If the country falls, the family is gone.”
“But now our country isn’t that bad. National security is guaranteed, and it doesn’t matter if development is a little slower.”
“Qianqian can’t wait. She’s growing up day by day.”
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and then said, “Mr. Lin, the higher-ups actually just asked me to inquire. I took it upon myself to say a few more words of persuasion.”
“Mr. Lin, your security clearance has been raised to SS level. A specialist will come to modify the wiring here.”
“In addition, you will be provided with a dedicated computer and mobile phone, and only you can use your computer and mobile phone.”
Lin Chen: “Can I make some other requests?”
“Mr. Lin, please speak.”
Lin Chen said, “I need books on aircraft manufacturing, some of which are not easy to buy on the market.”
The middle-aged man considered for a moment and said, “That should be possible. We’ll install a special bookcase for you.”
“The outside of the bookcase will be wood, and the inside will be high-strength alloy. The bookcase will have a hidden space for confidential books and materials.”
“I need to take a look at your study.”
Lin Chen led the middle-aged man to the study.
“Mr. Lin, are you interested in aircraft manufacturing?”
The middle-aged man’s eyes swept over the room.
A large number of books on Lin Chen's bookshelf were about aircraft manufacturing.
“I’m afraid of dying.”
“Once, I was on a plane, and there was a malfunction. At the time, I thought if I could repair it, that would be great, so I found some books to study,”
Lin Chen said.
The middle-aged man nodded.
He knew about that plane malfunction.
“Mr. Lin, do you still need this bed? If we install another bookcase, this bed will have to be removed.”
The middle-aged man asked.
“Remove it,”
Lin Chen said.
The middle-aged man nodded: “We will carry out special treatment on the entire room to ensure that no one can eavesdrop on this room.”
“We will also replace the door of this room, as well as the main door.”
Lin Chen: “Does it need to be so much trouble?”
The middle-aged man nodded: “Mr. Lin, your security level is now SS level, and safety measures must be in place.”
“By the way, Mr. Lin, if you want to go out of town like last time, it’s best to let us know in advance.”
“Save my number. You can contact me directly. I will be your exclusive security consultant in the future.”
Lin Chen said, “I don’t even know your name yet.”
“I belong to a special department. I haven’t had a name since I joined. My code name is Tianlang. You can call me that,”
The middle-aged man said.
Lin Chen saved Tianlang's mobile phone number.
“Mr. Lin, people will be over this afternoon. The network, soundproofing, etc., will be taken care of this afternoon, and your computer and mobile phone will be replaced.”
“People will come to measure the door and bookcase, and the door and bookcase will be installed within three days at the latest.”
Tianlang said.
Lin Chen nodded: “Thank you, thank you for your hard work.”
“We are also acting under orders.”
Tianlang left quickly.
Before long, people from "Telecom" came over, and they began to overhaul the network in Lin Chen's building.
In reality, other people's networks would not be touched.
It was just to set up an exclusive confidential network for Lin Chen.
“Qianqian is awake.”
“I’ll take Qianqian out, and you can come to my house,”
Lin Chen sent a message to Tianlang.
He took Lin Xiaoqian to a shop outside the community.
A dozen or so “workers” arrived at Lin Chen’s house, and they quickly got busy. The wooden floors in Lin Chen’s house were torn up.
The workers first laid down bulletproof composite materials, and then laid down special soundproofing materials.
The wallpaper on the walls was also torn off.
The same bulletproof, soundproofing, and other safety treatments were carried out.
Several hours passed.
Lin Chen and the others returned home.
The study looked the same as before, but the security level of this study was very different.
The brand-new computer was also incomparable to the original.
When the windows and doors are replaced, his study will be equivalent to a safe house. If he encounters an attack, it will be much safer to hide inside.
“Husband, did you get a new computer?”
Xu Mengyao said in surprise when she arrived at the study in the evening.
Lin Chen nodded: “The state replaced it. The floor and walls of the study have been given safety treatment.”
“Wife, the study’s doors and windows will soon be replaced with bulletproof ones. In the future, if you and Qianqian are at home, you can hide in the study if you encounter danger.”
Xu Mengyao nodded.
She estimated that Lin Chen's security level had been raised.
She didn’t ask any more questions about the specifics.
“Husband, the Qianqian Charity Foundation will officially operate tomorrow. Do you want to go and take a look tomorrow?”
Xu Mengyao asked.
Lin Chen shook his head: “I won’t go. Just have people manage it well and make sure the money is used where it’s needed.”
“There should be a file for every child who is helped, and every expense should be traceable.”
Xu Mengyao nodded.
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao with a smile: “Mengyao, we have something more important to do now.”
“What is it?”
Xu Mengyao asked in confusion.
Lin Chen hugged Xu Mengyao and said, “Taking wedding photos. You can’t get wedding photos right away after taking them.”
“Where do you want to go to take them?”
