Morning.
Dong Xuebinggs apartnt.
"Mom, this is a promise."
"Yes. I promise you. Work hard."
"Anyway, get ready. This will happen anyti."
"You first show so results before talking about it, hehe."
"Sure, don't disturb your rest. Wait for my good news."
"Okay, but don't engage in any superficial projects, alright?"
"Not. Mom, you should know . I'm naturally inclined to do practical things for the common people. How could I use superficial achievents to deceive others?"
"That's good. Go rest."
"Alright, take care of yourself and Dad."
After hanging up with his mother-in-law, Dong Xuebing felt relieved. At least he got Han Jing's assurance, which was enough for him. His mother-in-law's status was undoubtedly influential, and Dong Xuebing needed that assurance. Once he produced another decent performance, he could transfer back. Dong Xuebing believed it wouldn't be too difficult, maybe a month if things moved quickly, or two months at most. Regarding the specific approach to achieving results, Dong Xuebing hadn't figured it out yet.
Playing so music, Dong Xuebing reclined on his bed again. Leaning back, he took out his laptop, logged into QQ, and started browsing the internet.
Cough, cough.
Ding, ding, ding.
Many unprocessed ssages popped up.
Dong Xuebing closed them one by one. In the friends list, he noticed that Jiang Fangfang was also online. It was Friday, and Dong Xuebing had a day off, while Jiang Fangfang probably still had work to do. She might be in the office, either browsing the internet or researching.
Dong Xuebing typed affectionately: "Sister Jiang."
After a while, Jiang Fangfang's avatar flashed, and she replied, "Here."
Dong Xuebing typed quickly: "What are you busy with?"
Ding, ding, ding. Jiang Fangfang responded, "Reviewing materials."
"Do you have ti tonight? How about you co to my place for dinner, or I can co to yours." Dong Xuebing had been busy with work these days and hadn't spent ti alone with Jiang Fangfang since their visit to her mother's house. Moreover, it had been a while since he had a proper conversation with her.
Jiang Fangfang replied, "Busy tonight."
Dong Xuebing asked, "What about tomorrow or the day after?"
Jiang Fangfang replied, "Tomorrow won't work either. The day after tomorrow is fine."
"Alright, let's set it for Sunday night."
"Sure, let's do that. I have to get back to work now."
After arranging the eting, Dong Xuebing lay on the bed again, feeling slightly satisfied. Then, he thought about the matter of achieving political achievents. He had considered asking Jiang Fangfang, but she seed busy, so he decided to leave it for later.
At that mont, his phone rang.
The number displayed was from Aunt Zhong.
Dong Xuebing quickly answered, "Hello, Professor Zhou."
On the other end, the magnetic voice of Zhong Lizhen rang out, "I called you twice yesterday, but both tis you were on another call."
"Hi, I've been swamped lately, and my phone hasn't stopped ringing. Uh, is there sothing you need?" Dong Xuebing expressed concern, "Is it another health issue? If so, let know. Your working conditions, with no day or night, working twenty-four hours a day, are not good. You need to pay attention to work-life balance."
"When did I say I'm not feeling well?"
"Cough, no, so what do you need?"
"You go to the airport to pick up soone tomorrow morning and then send them back to the airport in the evening."
"Sure, picking up people is not a problem. I'll make arrangents. They co and leave on the sa day, right? Do you want to show them around and play with them? I'm all for helping you with anything." Dong Xuebing naturally cared about Zhong Lizhen's affairs.
"Two people, you can pick them up and bring them to your county. They are researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
"Why would researchers co to our county if not for leisure?"
Zhong Lizhen's tone beca sowhat low, "I said last ti that it's about the site selection for the Chinese Academy of Sciences Experintal Base. You persistently asked to take care of it. The funds have already arrived, and they are starting to select a site. I recomnded your Zhen Shui County. The researchers are there to assess your county's environntal and geographical conditions. This is just a preliminary investigation. If there are no problems, within a month, an academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences will go down with a team to coordinate with your county. Once the negotiations are successful, it will be finalized. Oh, I've been busy for you here, recomnding you, saying good things about you, and you haven't taken it seriously. You've forgotten it all."
So that's what it's about.
Dong Xuebing suddenly slapped his forehead, "Hey, look at my mory. No, it's just that these days have been too busy and tiring. My mind is a bit muddled."
"Then I'd better recomnd another place. This site selection is a big deal, and the projects to be carried out in the Experintal Base in the future are also crucial. I doubt whether you can cooperate well with the construction of the Experintal Base with your work attitude. In recent days, many counties and cities have co, and other research institutes and academicians have also recomnded many places as references. If you can't handle it, soone else will take over." Zhong Lizhen's tone was not very good.
Dong Xuebing quickly smiled, "Look, why are you angry, Aunt Zhong? I didn't an that. You can rest assured that we will take it seriously and cooperate wholeheartedly with the work of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Don't give it to others; it must co to our place. There is a flight tomorrow morning. I'll pick them up personally. Thank you, Auntie, you've helped us a lot."
Zhong Lizhen, on the other end, remained silent.
Dong Xuebing hurriedly said, "So it's settled. Rest assured, I'll take care of it. I was at fault just now. Please, don't be angry."
After a mont of silence, "8:30 tomorrow morning at the military airport on the outskirts of your provincial capital."
Dong Xuebing smiled, "No problem, I'll arrive early and warmly welco the comrades from the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
Zhong Lizhen responded with a faint "Hmm" and said, "I've given them your phone number. They are two students from my research departnt. They will contact you when the ti cos."
"Your students, sure."
"But let make it clear first. Whether the site can be finalized in your county depends on the actual situation of your county. Although I am in charge of this and will personally supervise so projects in the future, I have the first recomndation right for the site selection. However, whether it can be finalized is not certain. It's not sothing I can decide alone. Be ntally prepared first. If the actual situation of your county does not et the site selection requirents, then there is nothing I can do. I can't abandon principles because of personal relationships. That would be irresponsible."
" I understand. By the way, did Academician Chen Xuekai also recomnd our county?"
"No, he didn't."
"You didn't tell your teacher?"
"I'm good at research but not at asking for favors."
"Uh, no problem. Can I talk to Academician Chen?"
"Up to you."
"Okay, by the way, what is the main direction of the research projects at this experintal base? You didn't tell last ti. Can you give an idea?"
"The projects are confidential; I can't disclose them."
"Well, that's fine. Anyway, thank you for this, Aunt Zhong. Regardless of the outco, I appreciate your help. When I return to Beijing, I'll treat you to a big al."
"No need. Just cooperate well with the site selection work."
Zhong Lizhen spoke rigidly, lacking warmth.
But Dong Xuebing knew Professor Zhong had a cold appearance but a warm heart. She recomnded Zhen Shui County because of Dong Xuebing, which was evident. She cared a lot about Dong Xuebing's affairs. Moreover, Dong Xuebing had long been accustod to Professor Zhong's stern tone.
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing didn't put down his phone and directly called Professor Chen Xuekai.
Dialing
The call went through.
"Hello, Academician Chen, it's Xiao Dong."
"Hello, Xiao Dong. Do you need sothing?"
"A little bit. Are you busy?"
"It's okay, what's up?"
"Well, it's about the new experintal base of the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
"Hehe, you're well-inford. Yes, what's the matter?"
"We also want to strive for it in our county. By the way, I'm currently working in Zhen Shui County."
"Zhen Shui County, I see. So, Li Zhen recomnded it, huh? Well, there should be a visit by inspection personnel tomorrow, right?"
"I'm a bit unsure. Do you think our county has a good chance?"
"This is under Li Zhen's responsibility. Since she recomnded you, as long as the environntal conditions of your county are roughly okay, it should be fine."
"Oh, that's good."
"And don't worry. If there are any problems, I'll help you then. I owe you a big favor, and now that you've asked, I won't take it lightly."
"Thank you so much."
"The premise is that your county complies with the site selection requirents. Even if there are so issues, they shouldn't be too serious."
"I understand."
"Okay, I'll hang up for now."
The Experintal Base
The Experintal Base
Dong Xuebing paced around in the room, his mood hard to calm. He stretched lazily toward the window, feeling like he was bursting into laughter.
Things happen as you think about them.
Didn't Mother-in-law say to get another qualification? Even before her words settled, political achievents were already rolling in.
The importance of this project is self-evident, and it's not even a superficial project. If Dong Xuebing could implent this experintal base, it would undoubtedly be one of his political achievents. Of course, the premise is that Dong Xuebing needs to hold the reins of the science and technology departnt. This needs to be handled urgently. Thinking about how to do it, it seems that the technology departnt has always been under Deputy County Chief Cai Boyang. That's not too good to handle. But regardless, Dong Xuebing has made up his mind. For his plans, he must achieve this political achievent. Moreover, he must leave a margin. No one can talk about this matter; otherwise, it will cause trouble if it's known. He needs to secretly take the Chinese Academy of Sciences people for an inspection tomorrow and then quickly take over the science and technology departnt. This is the only foolproof way.
