Chapter 364: Ten Years of Sword Forging! [Please subscribe! Please give me a monthly ticket!]
As the office door was violently pushed open by Deputy Chief Wei, Yan Wenyuan, who was drinking tea with several school leaders, was petrified on the spot.
From this we can see that Deputy Commander Wei is still old, otherwise he would not have chosen such a gentle method as "pushing the door".
If he were seven or eight years younger, Deputy Commander Wei would have kicked him right away!
"Commander, what's going on?"
While asking, Yan Wenyuan calmly glanced at several school leaders around him, signaling them to leave quickly.
However, the school leaders saw it all but remained indifferent, watching with their eyes and noses, without saying a word, and it was clear that they just wanted to stay and watch the fun!
After all, this kind of scene is rare, who would want to miss it?
"You still have the nerve to ask me!"
After glaring at Yan Wenyuan fiercely, Deputy Chief Wei did not rush to attack. Instead, he sneered at the several school leaders who stayed behind.
"What's the matter? Did I not scold you guys? Are you feeling itchy?"
"Want to stay and get scolded together?"
"Goodbye, chief!"
In an instant, several school leaders burst out with an astonishing speed that was extremely inconsistent with their age and rank. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the office without a trace, and they even remembered to close the door!
As for the idea of sneaking around and eavesdropping through the walls, they didn't even dare to have it!
He was afraid of being discovered by the furious Deputy Chief Wei and getting covered in blood!
Yan Wenyuan also wanted them to leave before.
But after they left, Yan Wenyuan was left alone to face Deputy Chief Wei, who was full of murderous intent. He felt cold inside and could only watch as Deputy Chief Wei, with a mighty sword, sat on the chair where Yan Wenyuan and others had just had tea. He did not say a word, but just stared at Yan Wenyuan with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Yan Wenyuan already had some premonition as to why Deputy Chief Wei acted like this, and he immediately poured a cup of tea and spoke in a roundabout way.
"Commander, calm down!"
"If you have any opinions about my work, please feel free to raise them. I will accept them with an open mind and actively correct them."
"Don't try that on the old man!"
As he spoke, Deputy Chief Wei looked Yan Wenyuan up and down with a look of disdain.
"I have no problem with your work."
After he finished speaking, before Yan Wenyuan could feel happy, he heard Deputy Chief Wei continue to speak in a very angry tone.
"But I have a problem with you trying to poach people from me!"
"Yan Wenyuan, Yan Wenyuan, you have really become more capable!"
"How many times have I told you? Do you still dare to set your sights on Wei Hong?"
"Commander, this is unfair!"
"I just admire his talent and want him to be a teacher. I never thought of poaching him away from you!"
"hehe!"
Upon hearing this, Deputy Chief Wei's sneer became even wider. He did not say a word, but just watched Yan Wenyuan's performance silently with a look that said "You make up, keep making up".
Seeing Deputy Chief Wei taking this stance, Yan Wenyuan's voice gradually became lower until it disappeared completely, and he turned to look at Deputy Chief Wei with a guilty look.
"Say it! Why don't you say it?"
"Let Wei Hong be a teacher? Until when?"
"Are you going to be the teacher for four years? Or are you going to let Wei Hong stay in your school forever?"
"Yan Wenyuan, you have made a good plan!"
"boom!"
At the end, Deputy Chief Wei could no longer suppress his anger and slammed the table!
The force was so great that it made the coffee table make a ping-pong sound. Yan Wenyuan saw it and immediately showed a painful expression.
This set of tea set was bought by Yan Wenyuan with his own salary, it is very expensive!
"Old leader, how about you take a rest first?"
"Have some tea before you scold?"
"Humph!"
Deputy Chief Wei seemed to be disdainful of Yan Wenyuan's proposal, but he did not say anything in the end. He let Yan Wenyuan busy himself diligently and finally poured him a cup of steaming hot tea.
This can also be seen from Yan Wenyuan's sudden change in the way he addressed Deputy Chief Wei.
Deputy Chief Wei and Yan Wenyuan are probably old acquaintances.
Think about it too.
Since Deputy Commander Wei joined the army, he has always been in charge of scientific research and equipment work.
Although the "plate" of scientific research equipment seems large, most of them are from units like USTC that are far beyond their scale and have only a small number of staff.
It was perfectly normal for Yan Wenyuan to have worked under Deputy Chief Wei when he was young.
If not for this, Yan Wenyuan probably would not have dared to try to poach talents again and again after being scolded by Deputy Chief Wei. Well, try to expand the faculty team of USTC.
"Old Chief, what do you think of this tea?"
"My in-laws made it at home! It only weighs about ten kilograms in total."
"If you like it, can you take some with you when you go back?"
Speak realistically.
With Deputy Chief Wei's level, what kind of tea in the world can't he drink?
Yan Wenyuan knew this, of course, but he still had to say it, if for no other reason, just to let Deputy Chief Wei feel his heart, so that he would be able to deal with him more easily later.
Don’t think that Deputy Commander Wei has never led troops on the front line. Deputy Commander Wei doesn’t use the methods used by grassroots officers to deal with people.
Which scientific researcher who holds a pen is not arrogant and proud?
If he didn't have the courage and skill to "make the final decision", how could Deputy Chief Wei "pull" the entire military and scientific research community of Yan State single-handedly in those years when the country was almost penniless?
And fundamentally speaking, Deputy Chief Wei is actually half a scientific researcher. When he was young, he also worked as a teacher!
It is precisely because of this that Yan Wenyuan is particularly afraid of Deputy Chief Wei’s anger!
If there were other leaders in the army, even if their rank was higher than Yan Wenyuan, they would still be courteous to him because of his status as an "intellectual".
This is how the people of this country respect intellectuals, no, "knowledge" in their bones!
But in front of Deputy Chief Wei, Yan Wenyuan's "amulet" was ineffective!
What? Who isn't an intellectual?
Yan Wenyuan didn't dare to put on a scholarly display of "nobleness" in front of Deputy Chief Wei!
"Hmph! No need!"
"You already said that your in-laws made it for you, so what if I took it away?"
After saying that, Deputy Chief Wei took out his phone, dialed the number and gave a few casual instructions.
Soon, Deputy Chief Wei's personal adviser pushed open the door of the office and placed two low-key-looking brown paper bags on the coffee table.
"Take it, it's only a few taels."
After signaling to his personal adviser with his eyes that it was time to leave, Deputy Chief Wei looked at Yan Wenyuan and said unhappily.
"I have kept more for myself than I am giving you now!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenyuan immediately picked up the brown paper bag and took a look at it, then spoke with great joy!
"Oh my! Old Chief, how can this be possible!"
"Giving this tea to me is a waste of natural resources. I can't bear to drink it!"
Given Yan Wenyuan's identity, he could say something like "I can't bear to drink it".
You can imagine how precious the tea contained in this ordinary brown paper bag is!
"Just take it if you give it to me. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"Waste of natural resources? Isn't tea meant to be drunk?"
"Since you've said that, I won't be polite!"
It is clear.
Yan Wenyuan was just being polite, but in his heart he had been envious of this tea for a long time!
Upon hearing what Deputy Chief Wei said, Yan Wenyuan immediately put the tea away happily. Deputy Chief Wei was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and cursed again!
"You just put it away like that?"
"I wonder if you can make some for the old man?"
"Oh! Look at my memory!"
"Please wait!"
Not long after.
Yan Wenyuan and Deputy Chief Wei sat opposite each other, quietly savoring this priceless tea in the soothing aroma.
I do not know how long it has been.
The pot of tea was about to run out.
Deputy Chief Wei, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again in a somewhat sighing tone.
"Thank you for your hard work over the past ten years."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expression on Yan Wenyuan's face froze for a moment, but soon it was filled with a warm smile again.
"Old Chief, there is no such thing as hard work or not."
"Since the organization needs it, I, Old Yan, will take root here and work hard and steadily."
"It's not necessarily hard work."
"But as long as I get your approval, all the efforts I have made in the past ten years will not be in vain."
Yan Wenyuan seemed to be very free and easy.
But in his heart, only Yan Wenyuan knew how mixed emotions were caused by Deputy Chief Wei's simple words.
ten years!
Before we knew it, Yan Wenyuan has been the president of USTC for ten years!
How many decades can a person have in his life?
Although to outsiders, Yan Wenyuan, as the president of a vice-military-level university of science and technology, seems extremely glorious.
But don't forget.
Yan Wenyuan already held this position ten years ago!
For the talented Yan Wenyuan, the position of the president of HKUST is also a "shackle" that has "trapped" him and prevented him from moving forward in the past ten years.
As for cadres like Yan Wenyuan, whenever they are transferred, the news will basically be received one year or even two years in advance, so that these cadres with heavy responsibilities can hand over their positions and work smoothly and avoid being in a rush.
But now.
However, Yan Wenyuan had not heard any news about his transfer or promotion.
This means that Yan Wenyuan will continue to serve as the principal!
Ten years is enough to wipe out all a person's ambitions.
Now, Yan Wenyuan has not lost his enthusiasm for work. He even wants to use Zhao Weihong's "magic sword" to make reforms and eliminate all the ills that USTC has accumulated over the years in its development!
Both publicly and privately, Yan Wenyuan is worthy of his position and the trust the organization has placed in him!
It was not HKUST that created Yan Wenyuan.
It was Yan Wenyuan who made HKUST what it is today! If it weren't for Yan Wenyuan, HKUST would have very likely become the tears of the times at this extremely special juncture, and eventually been abandoned by the times!
Some people may think that given HKUST’s historical status and level, it would never go down this path.
But which of the three group armies that were disbanded some time ago did not have a long history and outstanding achievements?
In the face of the mighty tide of the times.
All the historical honors and achievements that the people involved used to be proud of now seem to have never existed.
Traveling against the current, retreating if not advancing.
As long as you cannot keep up with the pace of progress, you will definitely be left behind by the times.
It's that simple.
"Whoa Whoah"
He picked up the teapot and poured the last bit of tea left in the pot into Yan Wenyuan's cup with his own hands.
Deputy Chief Wei did not say anything. He just picked up the teacup, raised it to Yan Wenyuan, and then drank it all in one gulp.
"Commander, please tell me what you want to say."
"I have been under your command for more than twenty years, and I have known you for even longer than that."
"I still remember the last time you acted like this, we ate carrots together for two months and your eyes were almost green from eating them."
"What are you going to make me eat this time?"
"I'm sorry you still remember this."
"How could I forget this!"
There was a nostalgic look on Yan Wenyuan's face, as if he had returned to those days of poverty but a time when passion and dreams were burning all the time.
Deputy Chief Wei also seemed to be reminded of the past by Yan Wenyuan. His old eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment, he suddenly let out a long sigh.
"In that case, I'll just say it straight."
"This time, I'm going to give you two choices."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Wenyuan immediately stood up from the coffee table, walked to Deputy Chief Wei, adjusted his clothes meticulously, and then stood at attention!
The kind of upright, indomitable righteousness that Zhao Weihong possessed now appeared in Yan Wenyuan!
Zhao Weihong is also good.
Be it Yan Wenyuan or even Deputy Chief Wei.
The three of them can actually be considered "people of the same kind."
A group of "weirdos" in the eyes of others, a group of "idiots" who never give up their persistence and dreams, and are happy to do whatever is hard and tiring!
"As you know, the army underwent a restructuring at the beginning of this year."
"This is the first step for our army, no, our country, to move towards informatization."
Deputy Chief Wei sat upright on the chair, with a serious expression and a solemn tone, and finally slowly stated the purpose of his trip!
If you think that Deputy Chief Wei's visit was just to see Zhao Weihong, or to express "condolences" to the outside world, that is absolutely impossible!
A leader like him who is busy with all kinds of affairs rarely has time of his own.
No matter what the itinerary is or what message is released to the outside world, it must have the profound meaning of "not being able to be told to outsiders"!
And now, Deputy Chief Wei is going to offer Yan Wenyuan two choices that will affect the rest of his life!
"Now, the first batch of information equipment has been put into use at the grassroots level, and practical training and exploration are underway."
"And this batch of equipment is destined to be just the starting point of information construction."
“Future improvements and applications will be a very long process.”
"I hope that HKUST can face the grassroots and connect with the frontline during this process, and shoulder the responsibility that this military academy with a long history should shoulder!"
"In order to achieve this goal, there must be no changes in the leadership of HKUST."
"Especially you, the principal!"
Take a deep breath.
Deputy Chief Wei no longer hesitated and immediately told him his arrangements for Yan Wenyuan!
"Or, I'll give you a year to hand over your work, and then prepare to be promoted to Yanjing!"
"Or, you can continue to serve as the president of HKUST until the informatization construction of the first batch of pilot units is initially completed."
When saying the last sentence, Deputy Chief Wei's tone no longer had the decisive momentum from before, and instead sounded a little difficult.
Get promoted, or stay in school.
To ordinary people, these two options are not difficult to choose.
After all, who would be willing to give up the opportunity to "progress"?
But, hasn’t Yan Wenyuan been working in USTC for the past ten years just for the information construction of the army?
Yan Wenyuan has already laid a solid foundation.
Yan Wenyuan has actually been looking forward to a promotion for a long time.
But now, the two have become an irreconcilable "contradiction."
If Yan Wenyuan chooses to be promoted, he will no longer be able to witness, as the president, the role that the University of Science and Technology, which he has spent ten years building, can play in the construction of the vast information-based army.
If you choose to stay
According to what Deputy Chief Wei meant, this position as principal would mark the end of Yan Wenyuan's military career.
Even if Yan Wenyuan may join an organization like the CPPCC in the future, that will be after he retires.
Yan Wenyuan really didn't expect this.
At my age, I still have to choose between "dream" and "future".
As for how to choose.
From the moment Deputy Chief Wei opened his mouth.
Yan Wenyuan already had the answer in his heart.
"Old Chief, you know me."
"I just like to worry about nothing."
As he spoke, Yan Wenyuan's gaze shifted slightly, and he looked at the furnishings in the office, which he was already familiar with.
Over the past ten years, everything in this office, along with every tree and blade of grass at USTC, has become part of Yan Wenyuan's blood.
If the time before he became the president is included, Yan Wenyuan has spent more than 20 years on the campus of USTC.
When he was young, Yan Wenyuan dreamed of staying in Yanjing so that he could fully display the talents accumulated in the first half of his life in this capital city.
But now.
Yan Wenyuan no longer wanted to go back to the city which he had not visited for a long time except for meetings.
"The initial completion of the information construction will take about four or five years?"
Yan Wenyuan smiled, which formed an extremely obvious contrast with the serious expression of Deputy Chief Wei opposite him, who was shrouded in shadow.
“It’s the age when I should retire.”
"Old Chief, for me, before I retire, I will be very satisfied if I can see with my own eyes the achievements of my first half of life and turn them into the most solid barrier to protect the country."
"Although I really want to go to Yanjing to accompany you, old man, but I have been in HKUST for so many years and have put in so much effort."
"If someone else took the helm, I really wouldn't be able to let this go!"
In a few words.
Yan Wenyuan chose the path for the rest of his life.
The quaint office also fell into a long silence.
It was not until the new training brigade finished their training and the loud call suddenly sounded from outside the window on their way back to the dormitory.
Deputy Chief Wei then slowly stood up, but he did not say a word, he just saluted Yan Wenyuan with an extremely solemn military salute!
In the process of returning the gift.
Yan Wenyuan was not thinking about himself.
It is for the Yan country to become strong and stand at the top of the world's nations that generations of military workers are willing to remain anonymous and make silent contributions!
It was not easy for Yan Wenyuan to forge the sword for ten years.
But in order to achieve this current good situation, several generations of Yan Country have paid more than just ten years.
Fortunately.
Their efforts were not in vain after all.
Zhao Weihong's generation will surely take over their beliefs and will, and at the same time pick up the "sword" they have forged with their hard work, stand in front of people, and roar to the whole world, which means the revival of Yan Country and is destined to make the world take notice!
before leaving.
Deputy Chief Wei and Zhao Weihong met again.
During this meeting, the old and the young did not talk about work, but just spent the whole afternoon fishing in the big lake on campus.
After this incident, it was impossible for Zhao Weihong to keep a low profile even if she wanted to.
The accompanying walk, which was seen by many people before, can also be said to be Deputy Chief Wei’s appreciation for the “number one person in the college.”
But this fishing is really too imaginative.
Zhao Weihong could feel that there were many strange looks in the eyes of the other students when they looked at her.
Except for students like Huang Xuefeng who had a good relationship with Zhao Weihong before, almost no one dared to talk to her proactively.
If it were a grassroots unit, this scene would be completely unimaginable.
No matter how outstanding Zhao Weihong is, or what kind of big shot is standing behind him.
In the barracks, Zhao Weihong is still an ordinary soldier, a comrade-in-arms who others in the barracks can trust with their lives and lives.
When taking a bath, there would still be people who would sneakily want to pour several basins of hot water on Zhao Weihong, or even come up with a "Thousand Years of Killing!"
However, among this group of "quasi-officers".
The gap in status and rank became a "chasm" in everyone's heart, stopping them from moving forward. They dared not get to know Zhao Weihong, let alone become close friends with her.
they.
Afraid of Zhao Weihong.
Zhao Weihong also feels the same way about this.
But he didn't care.
On the contrary, Zhao Weihong even enjoyed the feeling of not being disturbed.
The campus is a place to study and train yourself.
Zhao Weihong really wanted to avoid those pretentious social etiquettes and those social interactions where people were immature yet trying hard to appear mature.
With the arrival of Deputy Chief Wei, Zhao Weihong had two more important tasks to deal with. Naturally, she had no energy to pay attention to these boring trivial matters.
It is in this "lonely" atmosphere that Zhao Weihong particularly enjoys.
The three months of training passed in the blink of an eye.
