Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

The person who said this was Xu Wenxin.

Neither of the two invigilators was selected for the textbook compilation committee, so they did not know Liu Hongyi.

"So you are Liu Hongyi..."

Now the two invigilators were speechless.

Although they weren't selected for the textbook editing committee, they had heard of Liu Hongyi's fame. He was the only "double editor" of a math and physics textbook, and a 17-year-old kid. Even his former teacher at Chuzhou No. 1 Middle School became his assistant.

The two looked at each other and agreed that Liu Hongyi should hand in the paper early.

As soon as Liu Hongyi left the classroom, the two invigilators couldn't wait to start looking at Liu Hongyi's test paper.

They had to say that after all their years as teachers, they had never seen such a neat and clean test paper. From beginning to end, there was not a single place for erasure or modification.

All exam questions can be passed in one go.

Moreover, for questions that are within their knowledge scope, they can tell at a glance that the answers are correct.

“What a genius…”

An invigilator couldn't help but praise.

Another invigilator agreed, nodding and saying, "Even this exam paper alone could serve as a model. I've been a teacher for twenty years, and I've never seen such a neatly done paper..."

After taking a steady look at the tall figure gradually moving away outside the window, Xu Wenxin took a deep breath and continued to concentrate on answering the questions.

On the third day after the college entrance examination, Liu Hongyi left Chuxin and returned to the research institute.

As a senior technician and project leader of the Third Institute, he cannot leave his job for too long.

Now that the college entrance examination is over, I must rush back to work immediately.

As soon as he returned to the research institute, Duan Weimin told him the good news that the small-caliber rapid-fire mortar he designed had passed the acceptance of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and was included in next year's military production plan.

"Xiao Liu, the committee leaders think the mortar-howitzer concept you proposed is quite innovative and supports our next step in researching it. I'm transferring Zhang Chenghai and Jin Yunfeng to your group. Please lead them well. Especially Zhang Chenghai. After you go to university, he will be the primary person responsible for this mission."

Liu Hongyi smiled and agreed: "Director, you have a good eye. Brother Cheng Hai is definitely capable of doing this, no problem."

In addition to bringing back several veteran technical backbones, the Institute has also been highly effective in training new talent. With the addition of Tan Dexi, Liu Hongyi, Chen Jiayou, and others, the Institute has nurtured a promising new generation of technicians.

Although Old Tan has returned to Factory 576, Zhang Chenghai and others still write to him for advice when they have any questions. Old Tan is still very open and willing to teach them everything he knows.

"Although Zhang Chenghai has made rapid progress, he's still a bit behind you. Let me discuss this with you, Xiao Liu. You can go to university, retain your military rank and benefits, and during your vacations, return to the institute to continue your research. After you graduate, we'll consider your job assignment."

Liu Hongyi just laughed.

Duan Weimin really couldn't bear to let him go and wanted to keep him in the research institute.

However, Liu Hongyi naturally could not think of any reason to refuse Duan Weimin's kindness.

Besides, why would he refuse?

Going to university with pay is not an "innovation" of the Third Research Institute. The country has policies for it.

It just requires more than five years of work experience, and in principle, after graduation, priority will be given to being assigned back to the original unit.

After all, it was a planned economy back then. With the exception of small collective enterprises, which were responsible for their own profits and losses, all other units were financed by the government. Even small collective enterprises were included in the overall financial planning process, so they weren't truly responsible for their own profits and losses.

Liu Hongyi does not have five years of work experience, but he is a first-class merit recipient. Duan Weimin can make an exception for him, and the higher authorities will certainly not object.
