Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2531 Smoking is harmful to health, and no cigarettes are sad

In the conference room, Mr. Chen spoke slowly and steadily, while the others looked around, not knowing what they were thinking.

In other words, Mr. Chen's attitude seemed to be critical, but he never made it clear.

This also made everyone feel uncertain and they dared not make a decision.

Yang Xiaotao was also observing Mr. Chen's expression and listening carefully to every word he said.

“Comrades from Qinxi Province are commended for their conscientious work style!”

Having said that, Mr. Chen deliberately paused and looked at Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao knew that what Mr. Chen would say next would be either flying to the sky or getting stuck in the mud.

Under Yang Xiaotao's eager gaze, Mr. Chen suddenly laughed and said, "We commend the solidarity of the Ninth Industry Department!"

affim!

affim!

Bang bang bang bang
Yang Xiaotao suddenly came to his senses and clapped his hands vigorously.

This affirmation immediately put Yang Xiaotao's worries to rest.

Not only Yang Xiaotao, but also Mr. Wu and others opposite him smiled.

The two of them followed suit and applauded.

In an instant, the conference room was filled with applause.

It was also at this moment that everyone understood that Department Nine would not be criticized for this matter. On the contrary, it would only get better and better.

Elder Chen glanced at everyone, then looked at Yang Xiaotao before continuing, "This meeting is to determine the key issues..."

Then General Chen arranged the tasks one by one.

Mr. Wu and his team will of course be responsible for the construction of the Changyan Railway, and the Changyan Railway will also use new locomotives.

This is also the result of careful consideration by superiors.

Of course, there are other intentions here.

That is to open up the railway to Yanzhou and use the best train to go back.

Mr. Huang and his team provided the tunnel boring machine, and their superiors specially allocated funds to help speed up the construction.

This was beyond Huang Lao's expectations, but he would not refuse financial support.

At the same time, I also know that this is also stressful.

If I can’t do it, I won’t be able to explain myself!

Afterwards, Mr. Chen talked about some precautions and the expectations of his superiors.

No one mentioned the Nine Departments until the end of the meeting.

However, Yang Xiaotao understood that since he was asked to come, there must be something going on and it was impossible for him to just give a general idea.

Perhaps, it was just not convenient for Mr. Chen to say it at the meeting.

Sure enough, after the meeting, Mr. Chen kept Mr. Huang, Mr. Wu and Yang Xiaotao.

Huang Lao looked at Yang Xiaotao and then asked, "Commander, what are the superiors thinking this time?"

"Hasn't this long-distance railway already started?"

After saying that, he glanced at Yang Xiaotao. They were naturally aware of the cooperation between the Ninth Department and Qinxi Province.

Also know the agreement between the two parties.

After hearing this, Mr. Chen took the cup on the table and glanced at Yang Xiaotao, saying unhappily, "You are quite the star!"

Yang Xiaotao's heart skipped a beat, and then he quickly said, "Commander, you misunderstood. I am a very honest person!"

"Get lost, honestly I have nothing to do with you!"

Old Chen glanced at Yang Xiaotao and said, "I see you have some money but don't know what to do with it!"

Yang Xiaotao immediately lowered his head, and then heard Chen Lao say, "I see, the two hundred million..."

"Commander, I won't dare to do that again. I absolutely won't dare to do that again!"

"I'm honest, absolutely honest!" Yang Xiaotao guaranteed immediately.

We are preparing for the New Year. If we lose our money, how will we celebrate the New Year?

And those research projects are all waiting for money.

The most important thing is that this is what Qinxi Province promised. If we don’t have these two hundred million, then…

That would really turn the nine departments’ fortunes upside down!
"Don't you dare? I think you are very brave!"

"How about facing the arrogance of the inspection team?"

"What about the magnanimous look you showed when facing Comrade Shi Yi?"

"You guys are so awesome, can you give us some help?"

Yang Xiaotao waved his hands quickly, "No, that's not the case. We didn't do that. Really not!"

Old Chen snorted twice, "If not, then it's not you, Yang Xiaotao!"

"You kid, make more trouble for me in the future, make more trouble!"

"No, no, no, believe me!"

"I trust you!"

Mr. Huang and Mr. Wu didn't say anything either, just watched the show.

They had long seen through it, that this exchange between the old man and the young was not about criticism or education.

This is almost like chatting about family matters.

This is not a warning from Mr. Chen; it is purely out of love and care for the younger generation.

Otherwise, who would let him sit here?
"Okay, stop pretending to be pitiful!"

Old Chen changed his expression and scolded Yang Xiaotao, who immediately sat up straight, with his head straight and his eyes straight!

Old Chen snorted coldly, "You are just lucky!"

"Many people above heard about this and wanted to help the old district. They all took action and finally alerted the chief."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao's eyes lit up and he immediately smiled.

Mr. Huang and the other man standing by looked as if they had expected it.

I didn't expect this to be a blessing in disguise!
What luck.

This kid is so lucky!

"What are you so happy about? I'm telling you, this time the money you nine departments contributed cannot be less than a penny, you have to add an extra 100 million!"

Yang Xiaotao was stunned, and his face immediately fell, "No, Chief, this, this is all planned, why are you adding more?"

"You know the situation of our Nine Departments. We have used our family's wealth to help this time. We don't have another 100 million."

"Commander, we..."

"Okay, stop crying poor here."

Old Chen waved his hand to interrupt, "I asked you to pay because I was watching you. As for the agreement you reached, you are taking advantage of it!"

"And the people in Qinxi Province who took out 100 million really sold everything they had. If they took more, they would have to live on coarse food!"

"You really let them take it!"

Yang Xiaotao scratched his head, he really hadn't thought of this. He thought that if Shi Yi said to give out half, there would be at least some assets in the family.

Now it seems that he is overthinking.

When Elder Chen saw Yang Xiaotao's expression, he knew that he understood, and he continued, "This time, if you calculate the cost of insulin, it will be at least more than 100 million!"

"Not to mention that pen you made!"

As he said this, Old Chen crossed his arms over his chest, looking as if he could tell that there was nothing you could hide from me.

"Old leader, you are awesome! You are awesome!"

Yang Xiaotao raised his thumbs up, "What a keen eye!"

The insulin hasn't even been sold out yet, but I've already started to make plans.

"Go away. Letting you nine departments pay is a favor to you. Other departments have no chance to come up with money yet."

"Yes, thank you for your love and care, thank you for your care, Chief."

Yang Xiaotao immediately showed an expression of having gotten an advantage, and Old Chen turned his head and looked at Old Wu standing beside him.

At this moment, Mr. Wu was thinking about what the two people were saying.

What do you mean by 100 million on the left and 100 million on the right? That’s 100 million, not 110,000.

Jiubu, so rich?
"Old Wu!"

Mr. Wu immediately came back to his senses and looked at Mr. Chen.

"Old Wu, everyone is watching the Changyan Railway this time. You have to arrange capable people to get it done."

Mr. Wu immediately understood what was going on.

People who come from the old districts have a special feeling.

Maybe they won't express their emotions directly, but if they can help, they will definitely not stand idly by.

Otherwise, Yang Xiaotao and his team would not have been allowed to set up a factory in Yanzhou.

"Understood. We will definitely work hard to complete the task."

"Yeah, Old Huang, you guys too."

"This shield machine needs to be accelerated. It is needed not only in the southwest, but also all over the country." Mr. Huang nodded, "Understood!"

"Okay, we've said everything we need to say, and you're all busy, so we won't delay your work."

As Mr. Chen was about to get up and leave, Mr. Wu started to persuade him, "I think you should give us this courtesy as a host. Let's have lunch before we leave. It won't take us long."

Elder Chen waved his hand and said, "You two should stay here. I'm very busy. I haven't finished the budget for next year yet. I'm busy all day long!"

Yang Xiaotao, who was listening, said with concern, "Commander, please take care of your health!"

After hearing this, Mr. Chen nodded and said, "You, just stop causing trouble for me."

"It's also a way to make more money by making trouble!"

One more thing to add at the end.

Yang Xiaotao stood up immediately, "Yes, I understand. I will definitely make more money for you, money from foreigners!"

When Mr. Chen heard this, he laughed, then took out a palm-sized iron box from his pocket and put it in Yang Xiaotao's hand.

"The chief gave it to me. I don't want to smoke it. I'll give it to you!"

After saying that, he walked out.

Yang Xiaotao looked down at the iron box, full of confusion.

This iron box looks ordinary, with no patterns or anything special except a few words written on the upper left corner.

Mr. Huang, who was standing by, glanced at the box and his eyes narrowed.

"Is this, a special supply, number two cigar?"

Before Mr. Huang could speak, Mr. Wu on the side was immediately surprised.

Yang Xiaotao looked up and asked, then saw the two men's eyes shining.

"Quick, open it and take a look!"

Mr. Huang was getting a little impatient, and Mr. Wu also took two steps forward and came closer.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao carefully opened the straps on the outside of the box, then gently opened it with force, and saw five cigars neatly placed inside.

I looked at the back of the lid and saw a note with only eight words on it, "Smoking harms your health, and not having cigarettes hurts your heart."

When Yang Xiaotao saw these eight words, his eyes lit up.

He has made some progress in calligraphy, and one can naturally tell that this was written with a fountain pen, and the words are full of boldness and heroism.

I compared it with the heirloom at home and immediately understood its origin!

This is that person’s handwriting in pen!

Rare pen calligraphy!
An heirloom must be an heirloom!

When Yang Xiaotao wanted to put it here, he knew that these eight words were more precious than this iron box!
"really!"

At this time, Mr. Huang sighed. Everyone knew that Mr. Chen didn't smoke, so it was obvious that this was for Yang Xiaotao!

Old Wu on the side looked at Yang Xiaotao, again and again, as if he was confirming something.

Yang Xiaotao couldn't stop smiling, and then he took out two cigars, "Whoever sees it gets a share, whoever sees it gets a share!"

Compared to those eight words, these are all trivial matters.

But Mr. Huang shook his head and said, "Forget it, this is a reward for you, take it home and keep it well."

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much after hearing this. He carefully put it back and then closed the lid.

"You're not staying for dinner?"

Old Wu said at the side that he really wanted to get closer to Yang Xiaotao. Who wouldn't like such an outstanding young man?
Mr. Huang shook his head and said, "I have to go back and tell them. I won't be eating."

Yang Xiaotao also said, "I have to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences this afternoon. I appreciate Mr. Wu's kindness!"

Mr. Wu nodded, then escorted the two men out of the building.

Watching the car going away, Mr. Wu turned back to look at the people behind him and suddenly sighed.

This successor needs to be appointed as soon as possible!

……

Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Yang Xiaotao asked Wang Hao to park the car and walked straight into the office building.

Arriving at Chen Fang's office, Yang Xiaotao knocked on the door and heard Chen Fang's voice from inside.

Yang Xiaotao pushed the door open and walked in.

"Uncle Master, you are looking for me!"

Yang Xiaotao was sitting on a chair and Chen Fang was sitting at the table, busy processing documents.

After Yang Xiaotao sat down, Chen Fang raised her head and said directly without any politeness, "Xiaotao, I called you here this time because of the satellite!"

"What stage have you reached? When will it be completed?"

Yang Xiaotao frowned slightly, "Uncle Master, isn't this already agreed upon?"

"It will definitely be completed within the first month of the new year!"

This was the time previously agreed upon by the nine ministries and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The nine parts will also be executed according to this schedule!

Chen Fang sighed helplessly, and then explained, "This time, Lao Song went to a meeting and came back saying that we must show results and contribute to the revolution..."

Yang Xiaotao felt that his breathing was a little difficult after hearing this. If you want to present a gift, you can’t delay our business!
But when he saw Chen Fang's expression, Yang Xiaotao couldn't say anything.

After calming down, Yang Xiaotao also understood what Chen Fang meant.

Since this is the decision of the entire Chinese Academy of Sciences, it means that this matter is not simple.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences wants to make achievements and offer gifts. For the current Chinese Academy of Sciences, this decision is obviously more in line with the reality.

More in line with the people's wishes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences!

Yang Xiaotao gradually calmed down, and Chen Fang said helplessly upon seeing this.

"We have quite a few people here, you know!"

“They all need this honor!”

Chen Fang didn't finish her words, but Yang Xiaotao already understood.

"I think this is the way to go. You guys wait until next time, and we'll launch it first this time."

"Don't worry, we will ask our superiors to launch another one after the New Year, and we guarantee that we can hit it for you."

Yang Xiaotao remained silent.

Seeing this, Chen Fang didn't know what to say.

He even didn't quite believe what he said.

Launching another one was not his decision!
Yang Xiaotao relaxed his frown and looked at Chen Fang, "Uncle Master, when do you plan to launch?"

"Twenty-eight?"

"Correct!"

"Nine more days?"

Chen Fang nodded seriously, "Yes, we have already started preparing. The rocket is also ready. We will go to the launch base three days in advance!"

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and said, "So, we only have six days left?"

Chen Fang just nodded.

The time is too short. Even if it is made, it still needs to be tested and experimented.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, all your efforts will be in vain.

It may even affect the performance of their satellites.

This is also the reason why he suggested coming back after the New Year.

"Okay, I get it!"

Yang Xiaotao stood up suddenly, and then said to Chen Fang, "Uncle Master, we will finish it as soon as possible."

"Here, we still need your help."

After hearing this, Chen Fang opened her mouth to persuade him again, but seeing Yang Xiaotao's determined eyes, she nodded helplessly.

"Row!"

"Xiao Tao, don't force it!"

"We researchers should not rush for success, but should be able to endure loneliness."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master. I won't fight a battle without confidence."

“Since we are doing it, we will definitely do it well!”

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao left the office.

After Yang Xiaotao left, Mr. Song came out from next door and the two stood together.

"This time, I owe someone a favor!"

Chen Fang nodded, and the two were speechless for a moment.

As for what Yang Xiaotao said about getting it done as soon as possible, in their opinion, it was purely said in anger.

The most taboo thing in science is to rush for quick results.

"We have to make it up to you in the future!"

After Chen Fang finished speaking, Mr. Song nodded vigorously.
