Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

These five eggs are just enough for him to have a treat; barring any unforeseen circumstances, he'll have to make himself a pot of oil-splashed noodles for dinner.

Two pounds of noodles were just enough to fill his stomach.

Sure enough, when I woke up the next morning, the stove had already been cleaned up.

Thick noodle soup floated in the pot. Yingzi made some dough into lumps, then added chopped tomatoes, spinach, and diced potatoes, and then cracked in two eggs.

Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onions on top, and the fragrant dough dumplings are ready.

Once the meal was ready, Yang Jianguo got up, washed up, and bound the manuscript papers on the table into his briefcase.

He wolfed down a bowl of noodles and rushed off to work.

Upon entering the compound, the car didn't stop, but drove straight through the front yard and headed towards the secret research institute deep inside.

The director, who had stopped to greet him, saw this scene and muttered to himself, "What new idea does he have now?"

The director both admired and felt helpless about his superior.

He has too many ideas in his head and his abilities are ridiculously strong, so he doesn't give others a chance to show off.

However, when it came to rewarding merit, he never forgot to take care of everyone.

Never monopolize.

Based on this alone, no one can find fault with him.

Otherwise, that would be truly ungrateful.

Chapter 10 A Ten-Year Vow, Spent in Small Things

The data was sent to the research institute, and Yang Jianguo then immersed himself in it and remained silent.

For a whole week, everyone's attention was focused on him.

The first thing I asked when I came to work was, "Has the boss come out yet?"

The answer was the same as always: "No!"

buzz~

A slight tremor occurred again, and when everyone looked out the window, they found that the entire research institute was shaking slightly.

Sometimes, they really worry that the shaking will turn into a towering fire.

boom--

Send everyone to the Western Paradise.

I really don't know how he managed to convince the higher-ups to agree to build a research institute here.

Deep underground, the artificial sun was reignited after several days of testing.

This time, the stability coefficient is 8 percentage points too high.

Under the excited gaze of the crowd, the entire process lasted 13 minutes and 28 seconds.

This groundbreaking advancement was met with thunderous applause and uncontrollable cheers, as if the laboratory itself was once again shaking and surging.

"Minister Yang, we are getting closer and closer to success. The data you sent this time is invaluable!"

"Even if it were ten thousand taels of gold, or a hundred thousand taels of gold, you couldn't exchange a single page of paper for a million taels of gold."

Professor Pan's face was flushed, as if he had just taken a bath in a hot tub, and he was so excited that he was sweating profusely.

"Director Yang, with this data, I assure you." Professor Pan, mimicking Xiang Shaodong, patted his chest and assured him, "Within 10 years, the project will definitely be implemented and fully commercialized."

Ten years—that number sounds like a joke at first glance.

It's been almost 10 years, what are you still patting your chest and making any promises about?

But for a project like the artificial sun, 10 years is already a very 'short' number.

To be able to bring the project to fruition and commercialize it within 10 years—

We've already done our best.

It should be noted that the project was originally expected to be completed within a lifetime.

To see it running successfully before one dies is already a blessing.

However, it's probably because Yang Jianguo was too greedy.

She was still not satisfied with the result and hoped it could be faster.

"Don't rush to make any statements or pledges. There's something I'd like to hear your opinions on."

Yang Jianguo called the leaders of each group to him and told them his ideas.

"Experimental Town".

After submitting his application for the experimental town, Yang Jianguo went to the inner city to report to the elders in person.

After several days, Yang Jianguo finally walked out of the research institute.

Before anyone had a chance to report to him, he got into his car and left the compound.

"Sister Mei, I have several important documents waiting for the boss's approval!"

“Sister Mei, we in the chemical industry can’t wait any longer. There are thousands of people and tens of millions of dollars in projects. Every day we wait is a huge loss.”

"Sister Mei~"

Faced with everyone's complaints, Wu Mei simply watched calmly, and shut her mouth after they had all finished speaking.

Then, without any haste, he asked, "Are you done talking? Now go back!"

"Put your things down, and the leader will arrange who goes first and who goes last."

A mountain of documents piled up on the table, and everyone left with a helpless or wry smile.

She opened the documents, arranged them according to their urgency, and delivered them to Yang Jianguo's office, laying them out flat next to the desk.

Based on her understanding of the leader, since he had already come out...

Unless I'm too busy tonight, or too tired and unwell, I'll definitely come back to deal with the important documents that have been delayed.

Who knows, tonight might be another all-nighter.

As it was time to leave work, Wu Mei remained seated. Passing colleagues chatted curiously, "Sister Mei, why are you still sitting here when the boss isn't here?"

"No rush, I'll stay a little longer."

"Sister Mei is so responsible. We'll be going now."

"Ah."

People would pass by every now and then, asking a few questions, to which Wu Mei would reply indifferently, "No rush."

When there were hardly any people left in the building, it fell completely silent.

Wu Mei finally got up, took the kettle to fetch hot water, and then wiped down the leader's office.

Spray some water on the leaves and flowers to make them look more vibrant and alive.

Next, I took out the food I brought from home and warmed it in hot water through the lunchbox.

When the temperature was about right, Wu Mei opened her lunchbox and started eating, just as she heard clear footsteps outside.

His heels are very heavy, and he walks at a pace that is half a beat faster than the average person.

The force of the foot landing is heavy, and each step seems to be taken with great care, like marching in formation.

"Minister Yang."

As she turned her head to the right after leaving the house, Wu Mei smiled.

"Sister Mei, why haven't you left yet?"

"No rush. There's nothing going on at home. The kids are all grown up and have their own things to do. I feel more at ease staying at work."

"Hmm." Yang Jianguo nodded absentmindedly. "Perfect timing. Since you're here, could you please find me the data on the artificial sun from the past few years?"

"Okay." Wu Mei smiled and nodded. "The tea is ready. I'll go find the information now."

Once inside the office, he sat down in a chair. To his left was a cup of brewed tea, within easy reach without getting in the way of his arm or hand.

In his right hand was a sheet of scrap paper, with two of his usual fountain pens pressed on top of it.

In front of him were stacked documents awaiting signature, arranged neatly from left to right, as was his habit.

As was his habit, Yang Jianguo picked up the top document from the right, opened it, and quickly flipped through it.

All the data is memorized, even more accurately than what's on the documents.

Within minutes, Yang Jianguo frowned, picked up a red pen, and quickly annotated, marking the mistakes.

Closing the file and placing it in the empty space above his right hand, Yang Jianguo couldn't help but curse, "This is ridiculous!"

Even the data is wrong, yet they still dare to implement it. Isn't this playing with human lives?

The integration of the chemical industry is urgent, but even in such a hurry, such a major oversight cannot be tolerated.

Thinking of the potential for serious mistakes this might cause, Yang Jianguo picked up the document again.

After opening it, two words were added under the comment—

Nonsense!

The next day, the leader of the largest chemical company in China, upon learning that the document had been returned, opened it and saw a prominent note at the bottom.

The sky is falling!

Subsequently, projects involving the competition for leadership in the chemical industry were no longer available to the company he led.

A vigorous self-examination and a top-down professional assessment were thus launched.

He made a fool of himself, and made such a big fool of himself in front of Minister Yang.

How can he, as the Party Secretary, hold his head high in front of the leaders in the future? How can he have the face to fight for policies and benefits for the factory?

Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!!!

Chapter 893 Buying Time with Money: Panic in Mentougou

Yang Jianguo had no time or energy to care whether the other person's heart was shattered or not.

He's busy setting up his own 'experimental town'.

When he met the elders and faced with a variety of questions, Yang Jianguo had only one answer: With the experimental town, long-term monitoring of the operation period and data fluctuations can shorten the project implementation time by at least 4 years.

What used to take 10 years can now be commercialized in just 6 years.

Is it worth exchanging 4 million for 4 years?

Value, so worth it.

The elders communicated on-site, reached a consensus, and finally gave the project the green light.

From now on, all needs of the experimental town will be given the highest priority.

That evening, after finishing his pile of daily work, Yang Jianguo began to list the various materials, equipment, and personnel needed for allocation.

Afterwards, he personally drew the design draft, and the office lights stayed on until dawn.

When everyone arrived at work, they found that Director Yang was already in the office.

"Sister Mei, did you stay here all night?"

"Ah."

Everyone felt a sense of awe and admiration for Wu Mei.

No wonder she wasn't in a hurry to leave yesterday; it turns out she knew the big boss would be back working all night.

That's why Wu Mei's position in the ministry is unshakeable.

If I were a high-ranking leader, I wouldn't be able to do without her either!

"Sister Mei."

"coming."

Seeing Wu Mei enter the office, everyone dispersed and quickly returned to their workstations to prepare for battle.
