So this is your "surprise"?

He looked at the car, and the exterior was indeed very low-key, without any fancy design. The lines were simple and bright, giving a stable and grand feeling. It was certainly low-key enough...

"Bang!" Yan Weiwei slapped the front hood, slightly proud.

"This car's paint, made of special materials, is anti-slip, bulletproof, and corrosion-resistant.

This, high-strength bulletproof armor, bulletproof glass, protection performance reaches B6 level, forget about rifles, even sniper or grenade can't penetrate it!

There are also explosion-proof tires, various safety systems... just finished modifications yesterday and brought back, how about it?"

Wow, it looks civilian on the outside, but open it up, it's all military-grade...

Luxurious! So luxurious!

"Uh... this modification of yours, is it legal..." Meng Lang was a bit worried about being checked when going out.

"Don't worry, I've got connections from my father, ensuring all the paperwork is complete, even if the traffic police stop us, we're not afraid!"

"This... won't it be too costly?"

This car may look ordinary on the outside, but just the modification cost alone could probably be in the millions.

"Since I promised you, just take it, don't be so wishy-washy!"

Looking at the shining new car.

Just yesterday, I was still a penniless bachelor, and in the blink of an eye, I got the papers, got the car...

But you know, I always felt an unfriendly gaze on my back...

Facing such a "valuable" gift, Meng Lang hesitantly looked at Lin Haitang, "So... should I accept this car or not?"

Lin Haitang glanced at him.

"Weiwei put a lot of thought into it, not accepting it wouldn't be nice."

Meng Lang awkwardly smiled.

Someone in his "high-risk" profession really needs such a car, especially as things get more dangerous in the future...

That sense of security, at least he doesn't need to worry about road killers anymore.

While Yan Weiwei was loading the luggage into the trunk, Meng Lang took the opportunity to whisper to Lin Haitang.

"Are you planning to keep this a secret for long?"

Lin Haitang glanced at Yan Weiwei's back and weakly said, "You promised me, give me some time, I still don't know how to tell Weiwei..."

"But..."

"What are you two whispering about, hop in the car quickly!"

"Oh! Coming!"

Meng Lang watched the three people crammed into the back row chatting away, feeling helplessly resigned to slipping into the driver's seat.

The papers are done, but the wife still has to live next door, leaving oneself to guard an empty room.

What kind of situation is this...

...

At the same time Meng Lang arrived, a military aircraft landed at Jinling Airport.

A few people discreetly got into a military-plated vehicle and headed straight to Lianyun Port...

Su Province is also praised by domestic netizens as "Su Strong."

It possesses the largest manufacturing cluster in the country. All its prefecture-level cities rank among the top 100 nationwide, with the number of powerful districts, counties, and towns leading the nation.

The people's livelihood index ranks first among all provinces, with per capita GDP dominating the national rankings since 2009.

It's no exaggeration to say Su Province has reached the level of a "moderately developed" country.

However, development is uneven everywhere, and among the many counties and cities, Shahe Town and East Sea Town in Lianyun Port of Su Province are the economically underdeveloped villages, also known as "tail-enders."

But precisely because these two towns, being less prioritized and having fewer resources, they face the least resistance when chosen as pilot sites...

...

Recently, the civil servants in the two towns have been on an emotional roller coaster.

Their mental journey went something like this…

"Another information innovation pilot? Can we talk to those above, stop messing around, is that thing even for people to use?"

"Exactly, it's slow, lagging, and incompatible, it's harder to access the intranet than the extranet!"

"Sometimes just thinking about it makes you angry, the higher-ups make a decision with a pat on the head, and we're the ones who suffer."

"It's because we're neither loved by grandmothers nor uncles, right, after a few months of testing with no news from above, it gets shelved, and we use the old system anyway."

"Heard this time it's ERP, we need to change the whole system."

"Hope it's not another 'Langchao'? You'd know once you used it, it's shit-level quality! A bunch of first-year university-level mistakes!"

"That would be better, with tens of millions of money, even a dog could learn something smart, right?

Hope it isn't like last time, claimed as self-developed, turns out after many years you tell me it's open-source from abroad! Again, a mess of switching!"

"Ha! Every time there's an open-source release abroad, a domestic self-develop happens, all descendants of Hanxin...

Changing an icon earns billions, tell me, are you convinced?"

"Shh~ Keep it down, don't you know that the company is run by XXX family? Didn't see how that issue ended up with much noise but little action?"

"Ha! Believe it or not, it's the same group of people, different location, different face, still capable of another round of fraud."

"It's beyond what small fries like us can worry about. By the way, where is Sister Liu? I'm still waiting for her to reimburse my receipts from last month."

"Hasn't been in the past few days, heard she's traveling with her grandchild."

"I..."

...

"Hey? This time's ERP... actually seems pretty good."

"What do you mean good, it's practically a dimensional reduction attack on the old system!"

"Yeah! All sorts of files are compatible, the mobile side works smoothly, almost like working in the office, this information innovation has some merit this time."

"Heard the bank systems are also doing it, and it seems to be causing quite a stir this time."

"Baiyeji, isn't it the company that developed Bajie? Also based in our province, no wonder it's being piloted here."

"I gotta say, using this workflow, it really saves a lot of trouble, the automated reports are very intelligent!"

"Guess what happened after I connected it to 'Bajie'?

I don't have to stay up late drafting speech scripts for the leaders anymore..."

"Yeah! I think it's good too, comrades have been quite positive!

But how did the attendance switch to facial recognition? Xiao Liu, go find the tech department and hack it."

"Uh... tried, can't hack it..."

"What?"

"Sister Liu skipped work for three consecutive days, has received a warning, is now flying back... and several colleagues 'absent for personal reasons..."

"Then why wait, just say it's a technical fault, let the higher-ups halt it first."

"Said it, but the higher-ups disagreed, even mentioned an upcoming inspection."

"What?"

"Ahem! There's something else, this thing automatically analyzes and mines data, your expense accounts this month seem to have a problem, triggering a system alert..."

"..."

The pilot had barely started when many people's feelings turned from pleasantly surprised to frightened.

Unfortunately, the forces pushing from behind aren't something people from such small towns can control.

More and more people began to realize the truth.

This system... is like the Emperor's poisonous wine, like urine in a desert...

Drink it or not, either seems wrong...
