As one of the few federal states completely occupied by the Norman army during the war, the first local council elections in post-war Lorraine received considerable attention. Although Weiss signed up for the election, he did not really invest in it from start to finish, but focused on the development of the Lorraine Industrialists Union and the Clumber-Heisen plant. During this period, the exploration and exploration team with Professor Xiao Yang as the technical leader found two bauxite mines suitable for commercial mining in the northwest of Lorraine, as well as a number of coal mines and limestone mines of ordinary texture, and some mineral deposits that are not suitable for commercial mining or are not suitable for commercial mining are also registered one by one. With mineable bauxite resources, Weiss decisively invested a lot of money, and jointly invested in the construction of a new metal material manufacturing plant with Totenbell, Palach, Wise and others, purchased the most advanced mineral distillation, roasting and electrolysis equipment, and established a new metal materials laboratory. At that time, he also learned that the federal mining giant Longmaier Group had successfully developed a commercial aluminium smelting technology and produced the first batch of industrial aluminum, and in order to find out the aluminium smelting model they adopted, and then judge its business prospects and potential ways to cooperate with it, Weiss decided to personally send Professor Xiao Yang and his teachers and students back to Ulster University of Technology.

After four months of getting along, Little Candy hugged Kemp and cried a mess when she said goodbye, and it took more than 20 hours to take the train from Mason to Liberty City. Even if these good things are matched by the young people, the little candy is also sensible, cute and cute, Weiss still only has admiration for Professor Xiao Yang, and has no intention of chasing. It's not that I don't mind anything, but in the past six months, they have very little time to really contact and get along, and they lack full communication and understanding, how can they make a judgment on the next step?

Emotional matters are more about fate. Fate has not arrived, no matter how hard you try, it will not help, and it may be counterproductive, so many strongmen standing at the top of the pyramid are obsessed with their careers and are unwilling to spend time and mind on such ignorant and unpredictable things. Speaking of careers, in the past four months, Professor Xiao Yang and her students have delivered an answer sheet that exceeds expectations, and if it weren't for the fact that the schedule of practical learning cannot be changed, and the winter is not suitable for field work, Weiss really hopes that they will stay for a while longer. In addition to the tentative contact with the Rommel Group, another important task of Weiss on this trip to Liberty City was to solidify the long-standing relationship between the Lorraine Industrialists Union and the Ulster University of Technology – to extend their cooperation model with the School of Geography and Geology, which provides internship and research opportunities and high-paying direct graduates, to metallurgy, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering and other fields.

Weiss escorted him all the way to the campus of Ulster University of Technology, although he said that he was here to visit Professor Yang and choose the opportunity to discuss cooperation with the university, the students still teased, Professor Yang looked indifferent, but his eyes were deliberately avoiding Weiss, which made him embarrassed. Those who do big things are not informal, and after completing the escort task, he devotes himself to the right thing. After several pleas, he finally said that Professor Yang recommended his cooperation plan to the university. Four days later, the Professors' Committee and the Dean's Joint Council of the Ulster University of Technology gave Weiss the opportunity to present his proposal, and the top scholars asked a lot of questions that made him struggle to speak, but in the end, he successfully passed the deliberations of the two major deliberative bodies, and obtained the same qualifications for cooperation as the industrial giants such as Grumman, Star and Longmeier. During the Industrial Revolution, the understanding of knowledge and technology in all walks of life has been greatly improved, and first-class institutions of higher learning such as Ulster University of Technology, graduates do not worry about jobs at all, but it is still quite rare to provide high salaries and settling-in subsidies for graduates who lack work experience, especially in the post-war transition period. Although the Lorraine Industrialists Union is far less famous than them, it is still competitive in recruiting talents.

In order to express his personal gratitude to the two professors, West invited them out to have a good meal, and gave them a small candy and a delicate doll. The little girl with the apple face rests in the nursery during the day, and the rest of the time she follows her mother like a little tail. After a few days of not seeing each other, she finally saw the sunshine like a person who had been trapped in the darkness for a long time, and desperately threw herself into Weiss's arms, holding his neck and touching his stubble, giggling and laughing with tears. This scene, even if it is a person with a cold heart, will be moved when he sees it, not to mention Weiss's always delicate ...... Poor Nizi, you really lack father's love!

During the dinner, Weiss not only took care of the baby part-time, but also talked about business with the two professors Yang. Professor Yang said that according to the curriculum and practice of the college, the internship research will be carried out in late spring and early summer at the earliest, and he respects the opinions of the professors. Weiss originally thought that Professor Xiao Yang would readily accept the invitation, but she chose to remain silent. Weiss didn't want to ask, so he talked about the commercial mining, refining and use of aluminum. Prof. Yang's research scope only covers the front-end, i.e., the formation and distribution of bauxite, but he is also very interested in the technical affairs of the back-end, and recommends Weiss to Professor Megris of the School of Metallurgy. He said that this old gentleman is an honorary advisor of the Longmaier Group, and has worked with them in metal smelting for many years, and is a top metallurgical expert who can be ranked in the top five when looking at the entire federation. Professor Yang felt that if Weiss had the ability to establish a first-class metallurgical laboratory in Lorraine, Professor Megris might agree to list it as a cooperative laboratory with the rich mineral deposits in Lorraine, and send excellent professors and students to carry out regular cooperation and exchanges.

At the end of the day, Little Candy was reluctant to ask Weiss if he would come to see her again the next day. Professor Xiao Yang took out an envelope from his bag and said that it was a handmade gift that she made with Xiao Candy, and asked Weiss to go back and open it again.

I haven't received a gift from the opposite sex for a long time, and Weiss really has a little expectation in his heart. Back to the hotel, wash up, sit under the lamp and open the envelope, inside is a childlike call card, the protagonists are a pair of beautiful black-haired mother and daughter and a big bird falling from the sky, although the big bird has no human face and body, but it is inextricably linked to Weiss, such as it carries a black leather bag, wears black leather boots, and its smile, especially its eyebrows, is simply according to Weiss's drawing. This card, rough from the cut is obviously from the hand of the little candy, but the delicate lines must be drawn by Professor Xiao Yang, is it not the heart of the mind, the pen of the present, through the brush to express feelings?

Looking at the card over and over again, Weiss sometimes saw the cute and cute apple face of Little Candy in front of him, and sometimes remembered the scene where Professor Xiao Yang combed her hair and told her stories. In the original era of imbalance between men and women, with Professor Xiao Yang's conditions, even "buy big and get small free" is quite marketable. In fact, Weiss has always cared too much about the eyes of others, and with little Kemp, the Lord and his wife have no time to urge him to marry and have children early, and the decisive role is his own inner thoughts. In the turbulent war years, he did not dare and did not have time to think about it, and now, an armistice agreement is far from enough to eliminate the danger of another war, whether the Norman Empire will choose the strategy of expansion again after the completion of the power restructuring, and how long this temporary peace can be maintained, no one can say. In this context, there are good reasons to choose to cherish time, or to be alone, and they are beyond reproach.

Over the next few days, while still in Liberty City, Weiss went to the headquarters of the Longmaier Group, where he met with the managers in charge of operations, and learned that the commercial aluminium model they were using was still low in yield and high in cost, but that they had realized that aluminum was a new type of aerospace material with advantages in weight and mechanism, and that it also had a role in machinery manufacturing. In view of this, Weiss decided to start from the research level, and he met with Professor Megris of the Faculty of Metallurgy of the Ulster Polytechnic University, and not only sent his knees to his knees in a reverent manner, but also described the efforts and development plans of the Lorraine Industrialists Union from the perspective of technical research and practical promotion, and the conditions of cooperation offered to the Metallurgical Institute were also on par with those of the Longmaier Group. Unlike an old pedant like Professor Alfred Young, this "Professor May" is much more pragmatic, understands Weiss's intentions and strengths, and clearly proposes what can be done and what cannot be done: the commercial aluminium smelting technology of the Longmaier Group has been patented, and there is also his hard work in it, so any shortcut that is not earned for nothing is impossible for him to go through, and at the same time, he not only does not exclude the practice of obtaining other commercial aluminium smelting technologies through research, but also provides technical guidance without reservation. The condition is that the new patent will also count as his share. In addition, "Professor Mei" also listed the conditions for providing research grants, student internship opportunities and preferred positions for graduates to the School of Metallurgy, and Weiss accepted all the reasonable conditions.

After negotiating the terms of cooperation, Professor Megris did not waste a second, and asked Weiss to show him the list of equipment that has and to be purchased in the new metal material factory, and then talked while watching, and from a technical point of view, put forward systematic suggestions on the equipment configuration of the factory, especially the R&D department, and even which equipment can be bought where and what price is reasonable, all of which told Weiss in an overview of what is more reasonable. With this information, there is no doubt that it is better to shop around, select the best configuration, and play a role in getting twice the result with half the effort.

After coming out of the metallurgical college, it was still early, so Weiss asked passers-by about the location of the school's nursery school. Not far away, he slowly shook it over, sorting out his view of mate selection as he walked, but after thinking about it, there was still no clear conclusion. Outside the nursery, he watched the children play from afar, and after a while he saw Little Candy, with her pigtails, a little apron, and a doll in her hand, which Weiss had given her as a gift last night. Whether she was playing in the yard or following the nursery staff back to the classroom, she hugged the doll tightly, such a cute little appearance was enough to melt any ice, and also made Weiss hesitate for a long time before leaving.
