Seeing their son become successful, Liu Chuan and Xiao Yawen repeatedly expressed their gratitude to Tan Dexi.

Liu Chuan'an's face was beaming, he couldn't stop smiling, and he felt indescribably proud.

Tan Dexi widened his eyes and said seriously, "Don't thank me, I should thank your son too!"

"I've never met anyone with such a sharp mind. Furthermore, he's modest and prudent, never arrogant or impetuous. This is even more valuable. I have to thank you for nurturing such an outstanding talent for our country. Old Liu, your son is truly remarkable. You must nurture him well; he will surely become a great man in the future."

"No, no, Chief Engineer Tan, you're too kind. Hongyi is still a child, and he's been taught so well by his teacher... From now on, let him follow you and study weapon design diligently, and bring glory to our country."

Liu Chuan felt that taking the technical route was also a very good idea.

Tan Dexi is a senior cadre who enjoys the treatment of a full colonel.

If Liu Hongyi can reach the level of Lao Tan in the future, Liu Chuan will be very satisfied.

He didn't even dare to think about being granted a title of nobility or appointed as prime minister, the highest position in the country.

This is not something that people like them, who come from ordinary families, can hope for.

Tan Dexi shook his head repeatedly and said seriously, "No, no, no, Old Liu, you're wrong. Hongyi's talent should never be limited to the field of weapons design. He is a man of great potential. I won't delay him. Next year, I must send him to college."

"Commander Dong has already given his guarantee. There will definitely be no problem with this."

"It's not too late to consider which path he should take after he finishes college."

Liu Chuan was a loyal and honest man. Hearing Tan Dexi praising Liu Hongyi so much, he felt a little embarrassed and kept being humble.

"Old Liu, I'm not kidding you. Hongyi is with me, don't worry, I will definitely protect him. You, go back to the cadre school and protect those old comrades. They are the precious treasures of our party and our country."

"The world won't always be like this. It will eventually change."

The last sentence was spoken in a low voice, but with great firmness.

Liu Chuan nodded slightly.

Originally, the "family of three" planned to have lunch at the factory and then rush back. Liu Hongyi persuaded his parents and Ai Xiaoyu to stay at the factory for one night and it would not be too late to take the shuttle bus back early the next morning.

I haven't chatted with my family for a month or two, and I miss them very much.

Liu Chuan and Xiao Yawen discussed it, and looking at Ai Xiaoyu's reluctant expression, they agreed with a smile.

In the evening, Song Anhua hosted a banquet in the factory's small canteen to entertain Liu Chuan'an's family. In addition to Tan Dexi, Yuan Gang, Jin Yunfeng and others, Zhou Xingwang was also invited.

Today, Zhou Huzi's performance was quite impressive.

If he had not held on to Liang Pingshan, something might have happened before the two old generals arrived.

At the banquet, Song Anhua praised Liu Hongyi, his "junior brother", highly and highly.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere quickly became lively.

Liu Hongyi specially introduced Jin Yunfeng to his father.

"Dad, this is Staff Officer Jin, Brother Yunfeng. Last time at the Qiwan Brigade, it was him and Director Yuan who displayed their prowess, intimidating those people and saving Brother Yonghui."

Jin Yunfeng's parents and uncle are all leading cadres within the system, and he himself is righteous, so he is naturally worth making friends with.

"Thank you, Chief of Staff Jin!"

"On behalf of Secretary Huang Anping, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you and Director Yuan. During this period, my son Hongyi has relied on your care at the research institute. I would like to offer a toast to you two!"

Liu Chuan picked up the wine glass and said sincerely.

Yuan Gang was not good at speaking, so he just smiled and said nothing.

Jin Yunfeng laughed and said, "Uncle Liu, why are you being so polite to me? Hongyi is my buddy, and he is also my teacher. He has taught me a lot during this period. Teacher Tan even praised me for my obvious progress. Hahaha..."

Although he had no intention of pursuing a career in weapons design, and would find a way to transfer back to the local military once his rank was raised, his competitive nature made it a great honor for him to make professional progress and receive recognition and praise from Tan Dexi.

Besides, it’s always good to have more skills, and learning more math, physics and chemistry is never a bad thing.

The better he performs at the research institute, the higher the institute's evaluation of him will be. When he transfers back to the local area in the future, the more "capital" he will have, and the more confident his parents will be when arranging a unit and position for him.

Tan Dexi smiled and said, "You are actually quite smart, but you have a rather erratic personality. If you could calm down and delve into your studies, you could achieve great things in the future."

Jin Yunfeng waved his hands hastily, saying repeatedly, "Teacher Tan, don't try to fool me... I know I'm not cut out for academics. I just enjoy eating, drinking, and making friends, and I don't have any lofty ambitions. In the future, Hongyi, Chenghai, Gaodi, and the others will all have great successes, and I'll be proud of them too."

These words made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere at the banquet was extremely lively.
