Chapter 1494: Central Science Academy’s people are here


    Morning.


    Dong Xuebinggs apartment.


    "Mom, this is a promise."


    "Yes. I promise you. Work hard."


    "Anyway, get ready. This will happen anytime."


    "You first show some 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 me. I''m naturally inclined to do practical things for themon people. How could I use superficial achievements to deceive others?"


    "That''s good. Go rest."


    "Alright, take care of yourself and Dad."


    After hanging up with his mother-inw, Dong Xuebing felt relieved. At least he got Han Jing''s assurance, which was enough for him. His mother-inw''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.


    ying some music, Dong Xuebing reclined on his bed again. Leaning back, he took out hisptop, logged into QQ, and started browsing the inte.


    Cough, cough.


    Ding, ding, ding.


    Many unprocessed messages 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 inte or researching.


    Dong Xuebing typed affectionately: "Sister Jiang."


    After a while, Jiang Fangfang''s avatar shed, and she replied, "Here."


    Dong Xuebing typed quickly: "What are you busy with?"


    Ding, ding, ding. Jiang Fangfang responded, "Reviewing materials."


    "Do you have time tonight? How about youe to my ce for dinner, or I cane to yours." Dong Xuebing had been busy with work these days and hadn''t spent time 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 meeting, Dong Xuebingy on the bed again, feeling slightly satisfied. Then, he thought about the matter of achieving political achievements. He had considered asking Jiang Fangfang, but she seemed busy, so he decided to leave it forter.


    At that moment, his phone rang.


    The number disyed was from Aunt Zhong.


    Dong Xuebing quickly answered, "Hello, Professor Zhou."


    On the other end, the maic voice of Zhong Lizhen rang out, "I called you twice yesterday, but both times you were on another call."


    "Hi, I''ve been swampedtely, and my phone hasn''t stopped ringing. Uh, is there something you need?" Dong Xuebing expressed concern, "Is it another health issue? If so, let me 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 bnce."


    "When did I say I''m not feeling well?"


    "Cough, no, so what do you need?"


    "You go to the airport to pick up someone tomorrow morning and then send them back to the airport in the evening."


    "Sure, picking up people is not a problem. I''ll make arrangements. Theye and leave on the same day, right? Do you want me to show them around and y 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 researcherse to our county if not for leisure?"


    Zhong Lizhen''s tone became somewhat low, "I saidst time that it''s about the site selection for the Chinese Academy of Sciences Experimental Base. You persistently asked me to take care of it. The funds have already arrived, and they are starting to select a site. I rmended your Zhen Shui County. The researchers are there to assess your county''s environmental 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 sessful, it will be finalized. Oh, I''ve been busy for you here, rmending 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 pped his forehead, "Hey, look at my memory. No, it''s just that these days have been too busy and tiring. My mind is a bit muddled."


    "Then I''d better rmend another ce. This site selection is a big deal, and the projects to be carried out in the Experimental Base in the future are also crucial. I doubt whether you can cooperate well with the construction of the Experimental Base with your work attitude. In recent days, many counties and cities havee, and other research institutes and academicians have also rmended many ces as references. If you can''t handle it, someone 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 mean 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 muste to our ce. 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 moment 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 wee therades 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 department. They will contact you when the timees."


    "Your students, sure."


    "But let me 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 some projects in the future, I have the first rmendation right for the site selection. However, whether it can be finalized is not certain. It''s not something I can decide alone. Be mentally prepared first. If the actual situation of your county does not meet the site selection requirements, then there is nothing I can do. I can''t abandon principles because of personal rtionships. That would be irresponsible."


    " I understand. By the way, did Academician Chen Xuekai also rmend 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 experimental base? You didn''t tell mest time. Can you give me 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 oue, I appreciate your help. When I return to Beijing, I''ll treat you to a big meal."


    "No need. Just cooperate well with the site selection work."


    Zhong Lizhen spoke rigidly,cking warmth.


    But Dong Xuebing knew Professor Zhong had a cold appearance but a warm heart. She rmended 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 ustomed 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 something?"


    "A little bit. Are you busy?"


    "It''s okay, what''s up?"


    "Well, it''s about the new experimental base of the Chinese Academy of Sciences."


    "Hehe, you''re well-informed. 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 rmended 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 rmended you, as long as the environmental 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 countyplies with the site selection requirements. Even if there are some issues, they shouldn''t be too serious."


    "I understand."


    "Okay, I''ll hang up for now."


    The Experimental Base


    The Experimental Base


    Dong Xuebing paced around in the room, his mood hard to calm. He stretchedzily toward the window, feeling like he was bursting intoughter.


    Things happen as you think about them.


    Didn''t Mother-inw say to get another qualification? Even before her words settled, political achievements were already rolling in.


    The importance of this project is self-evident, and it''s not even a superficial project. If Dong Xuebing could implement this experimental base, it would undoubtedly be one of his political achievements. Of course, the premise is that Dong Xuebing needs to hold the reins of the science and technology department. This needs to be handled urgently. Thinking about how to do it, it seems that the technology department 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 ns, he must achieve this political achievement. 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 department. This is the only foolproof way.
