Chapter 187 -187: Became a Related Party

The guard took the ID card into the guard room and verified its authenticity with a machine.

After that, he compared it with them and said, “Wait a moment, you can go in with them, your friend knows all the procedures and processes that need to be followed once inside, just let them guide you then.”

Lu Xuerong and the others thanked the guard.

The guard was especially polite, “No need for thanks, no need, it is my duty.”

After all, they had received quite a few gifts, but now that people they didn’t need had arrived, all they could do, aside from being polite, was to hope that the next visitors would need them.

While they were talking, the eyes of the people at the gateway were also fixed on the two large trucks. They were quite curious about what it was that had necessitated Secretary Li to personally come to receive.

A car soon approached from inside the base, its headlights bright and its speed quite fast.

The guards inside saw it was Secretary Li’s car and quickly saluted.

Li Shukang swiftly got out of the car, walked briskly up, and saw Lu Ruisheng, his eyes shining, “Did you bring it back?”

Lu Ruisheng nodded, “It’s on the truck. Secretary Li, have someone check it.”

Li Shukang immediately instructed the people he brought, “Check it.”

The people who came with him were part of the base’s garrison, more than twenty people, they had already boarded the truck and started the inspection. Even though the items were precious, they still needed to ensure no weapons or illegal items were mixed in.

Though Li Shukang looked composed, his eyes stayed on the truck, the solar panels piled up like a small mountain were too enticing. If it were before the acid rain, they might not have been valued so highly, but after the acid rain, they truly were treasures.

And there were so many, and with complete equipment, his contribution this year would definitely be the greatest among these five, securing his position as the next Base Commander.

He hadn’t even noticed that three extra people had joined Gu Pan and the others.

Of course, at this moment, Gu Pan and the others remained silent, just quietly watching the inspection, as this was no small matter.

Cheng Yang had many questions on his mind, but he knew it was not the time to ask; he had to bear with it, no matter the pain in his liver.

Finally, the inspection was completed, and the leader of the inspectors came to Li Shukang and said, “Secretary Li, it’s all solar panels and accessories, no issues.”

Li Shukang breathed a sigh of relief, his face filled with excitement, and he said to Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, “Let’s go in and discuss this in detail.”

Gu Pan turned to Li Shukang, “Secretary Li, we happened to meet some old teammates outside, the doctor couple I mentioned to you before, and the electronic expert, their identities have already been verified, they can come in with us, right?”

It was then that Li Shukang noticed them, but right now, his mind was still on the solar panels, “Since their identities have been verified, let them come in too.”

Since the base required not only an identity card but also a guarantor, of course, the guarantor needed to be someone of a certain status, who could vouch for people without identity cards to enter.

Even if the other party did not have an identity card, the contributions of Gu Pan and the others were enough to guarantee their friends’ entry, especially since their identities had already been checked, there was no more to be said.

Li Shukang took the initiative to sit in the car driven by Lu Ruisheng, so Cheng Yang and the others squeezed into Gu Pan’s car.

Li Shukang’s car led the way, and Gu Pan and the others followed, driving all the way to the administrative area’s warehouse.

The warehouse was already prepared to receive goods, and twenty workers stood at the entrance waiting to load and unload.

Qin Jun was also there. When he saw them, he jogged over to greet them and then looked at the two big trucks’ contents with glowing eyes.

Li Shukang personally watched as the workers unloaded, while some people recorded videos and others took photographs. This scene truly amazed Gu Pan.

After a while, another car arrived, driven by a man in his forties.

Upon seeing the man, Li Shukang went up to greet him, “Why has Deputy Base Commander Wang come over?”

Deputy Base Commander Wang eyed the two trucks filled with solar panels with envy, “Secretary Li really knows how to do big things quietly. No word of these marvelous items got out until now. I only came to see because I was curious after Xiao Zhang, who was on duty, told me that you personally went to the gate to receive the supplies.”

Li Shukang’s smile was so wide he could hardly close his mouth, “It’s not that I kept it a secret; it’s that my nephew and his wife didn’t tell me the whole truth. They just mentioned there was some; I truly didn’t expect this much.”

Gu Pan, listening to Li Shukang mention his nephew and his wife, thought, ‘Are they referring to me and Lu Ruisheng? Are we relatives now?’

Deputy Base Commander Wang looked at Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, appearing unfamiliar, then asked Li Shukang, “I’ve never heard you mention having a nephew and his wife at our base?”

Li Shukang explained, “Cousins, actually. I didn’t even know they were at the base until recently. Deputy Base Commander Wang, going forward, please look after my nephew and his wife. They are young and don’t know much.”

He was a clever man. He never believed that mere luck could achieve such great deeds. Ordinary people passing by a solar power station wouldn’t think to conceal these items, of no use to ordinary folk and too cumbersome to transport. Whoever managed to transport these items, by whatever means, clearly had an intelligent mind.

Moreover, they even grabbed all the necessary parts—not an unprepared, impulsive act, but a well-thought-out one.

Thus, Li Shukang truly admired these two, not just for their acquisition, but also for their meticulous planning and long-term vision.

Everything told Li Shukang that these two young people were far from ordinary. Keeping them close would surely stabilize his own career prospects.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were indeed seeking a backer. Secretary Li’s conduct and fair-mindedness were appealing, and they were willing to align with him. After all, everything works hand in hand.

At that moment, they knew how to behave—standing quietly beside Li Shukang. They really needed such a patron. Now that their status at the base was secure, they needn’t worry any longer about Ruiming or Song Xiner and could focus on their careers.

Deputy Base Commander Wang looked again at the two. These young people were extraordinary. Even from their appearance, it wasn’t obvious that they were from the apocalypse, possessing such strong capabilities. These goods, stored away before the acid rain, pointed to their remarkable foresight and anticipation.

Of course, what Li Shukang could think of, he could also understand; thus, he didn’t believe these young people were Li Shukang’s nephew and niece-in-law. But since they had made the first move, he couldn’t snatch them away now. He always felt that these young individuals could still give the base surprises. It was just a pity that he had missed out.

After a while, another Secretary who shared the surname Wen arrived. Li Shukang still introduced Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng as his relatives, his cousins, their wife, and husband.

They just listened obediently and greeted him politely.

Li Shukang wasn’t surprised by the new arrival; it was as if he had expected it.

The lights were dim in the evening—not like before the apocalypse, and the wattage of the bulbs was lower.

Therefore, facial features were not clearly visible, but with everyone gathered together, the atmosphere seemed quite lively.
