Chapter 50 Farewell
The experiment was successful, and Zhao Yuan considered that he had completed the work assigned by Minister Shao, so he bid farewell to Director Xu Peng.
Director Xu Peng made a phone call to Minister Shao.
Ring ring ring...
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
A deep, resonant male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Reporting to Minister Shao, this is Xu Peng. I have good news to share with you: we have successfully developed a new type of stealth aircraft coating. Through experimental testing, it has been shown to be able to evade all the most advanced radar tracking systems currently available."
Director Xu Peng excitedly reported to Minister Shao.
"Good good."
Minister Shao Gang repeatedly said "good".
"Comrade Zhaoyuan is indeed a capable young man. He deserves much credit for the success of this experiment in such a short time. He proposed adding a mineral material to the experiment, and practice has proven that the effect is excellent. Comrade Zhaoyuan has successfully completed this task. Please give instructions, Minister Shao."
Director Xu Peng said.
"Okay, bring Comrade Zhaoyuan back to me."
Minister Shao Gang said.
"Reporting to Minister Shao, we will immediately send Comrade Zhaoyuan back to the ministry."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Zhao Yuan packed all his luggage and followed Director Xu Peng back to Minister Shao Gang's office.
Besides Minister Shao Gang, Director Zheng Yuanhua and Director Liu Weiguo were also in the office.
"Congratulations, Comrade Zhaoyuan, on successfully completing your mission. The leader is very satisfied with your work, and the bureau will give you a reward."
As soon as he entered, Minister Shao Gang greeted Zhao Yuan with a broad smile.
"Thank you for your affirmation, Minister Shao. This just happens to be my area of expertise, and it was just a coincidence."
Zhao Yuan said modestly.
"Comrade Zhaoyuan, this is your reward and bonus for this work, as well as a work ID from the State Translation Bureau."
Director Liu Weiguo handed Zhao Yuan an envelope and then asked.
"Is Comrade Zhaoyuan going home today, or will he stay in Beijing for a few more days?"
"I'm going home tomorrow, and I haven't done what my friend asked me to do yet. I'll take care of it later."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Okay, Director Han Ping from the office will arrange your accommodation for tonight."
Director Zheng Yuanhua said.
"Comrade Zhaoyuan, apart from chemistry, the other translations should be fine, right?"
Director Zheng Yuanhua asked again.
"I am best at chemistry. I am afraid of making mistakes in other areas of translation, but I am generally not prone to errors in chemistry."
Zhao Yuan answered truthfully.
Soon after, Director Han Ping arrived, and Zhao Yuan followed Director Han Ping back to the hotel where they had stayed on the first day to check in.
"Comrade Zhaoyuan, how long will it take you to get things done? I'll arrange to buy the tickets."
Han Ping said.
"I just need to deliver a letter to a friend today, and I'll take the earliest bus back tomorrow."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Okay, Comrade Zhaoyuan, I'll take you to the train station at 7:30 tomorrow morning. Your train leaves at 9:00. I won't bother you any longer. See you next time."
Han Ping said.
"Okay, thank you, Director Han. See you next time."
After saying that, Director Han Ping drove back to his office.
Zhao Yuan opened the envelope; inside were 200 yuan, some nationally valid stamps, cloth coupons, and the like.
Now that he had money, Zhao Yuan made plans in his mind: first, he would go to see Gong Xianjin, and then he would go shopping to buy some gifts for his daughter and wife.
After quickly tidying up, I slung my military green crossbody bag over my shoulder and went to find Gong Xianjin.
Jinyang County.
That same day, after the fireworks export company meeting, the county committee immediately made arrangements for the first batch of people to go to Huacheng for training.
On the third day after Zhao Yuan arrived in Beijing, a team of 10 people, led by Hou Zhijun, the director of the office, set off for Huacheng to learn about the preparations for fireworks exports. The team included personnel from transportation, customs, the office, security, and other relevant departments such as the Ministry of Commerce.
Zheng Ziqi was naturally on the list of those who were to study.
This clearly demonstrates the importance that the Jinyang County Party Committee leadership attaches to exporting fireworks to generate foreign exchange.
Zhao Yuan took two buses to reach Beijing University.
The four golden characters "京城大学" (Jingcheng University) are majestic and imposing, exuding a refined air. Two imposing lions guard the entrance, and the top of the gate is adorned with exquisite carvings and decorative paintings in a rich national style. The style is simple yet elegant, solemn and dignified—truly befitting of China's highest institution of learning.
Filled with anticipation and longing, Zhao Yuan strode briskly toward the gates of Beijing University.
However, just as he was about to step into this hall of knowledge, he was stopped by the stern-faced, upright guard at the entrance.
Faced with this sudden obstruction, Zhao Yuan showed no sign of panic. He calmly pulled an elegant identification document from his pocket—a work ID from the National Translation Bureau—and explained his purpose to the guard. After a thorough check, the guard finally relaxed and waved for Zhao Yuan to enter the school.
With light steps, Zhao Yuan slowly entered Beijing University through the ancient and elegant school gate, which was full of the marks of time.
Upon entering the campus, a bright and open view unfolds before you, with numerous lush and verdant trees neatly arranged on both sides of the road, silently guarding this institution like loyal sentinels.
Looking at the well-arranged teaching buildings, each exudes a unique charm: some are antique, seemingly bearing the weight of a thousand years of cultural heritage; others are simple and grand, revealing the breath of modern technology. But the most eye-catching are the historically significant building complexes, each with its own distinct style yet harmoniously unified. For example, the vermilion tiles gleam in the sunlight, like jewels embedded in the rooftops; the ancient and dignified red buildings stand quietly, telling tales of the past; and the rooms surrounded by deep green vegetation appear exceptionally serene and tranquil…
As Zhao Yuan was captivated by the beautiful campus scenery, he unknowingly arrived at the office of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Just then, a familiar figure came into view—it was Professor Gong Xianjin walking towards him with a book in his hand.
Zhao Yuan's face immediately lit up with a friendly smile. He quickly stepped forward and greeted her warmly, "Teacher Gong, your get out of class is over!"
Upon hearing the voice, Gong Xianjin was taken aback at first, but after seeing who it was, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "Oh my, Brother Zhao! What brings you to the capital all of a sudden?" His words were full of surprise and delight.
"I came to the capital to take care of some business. I couldn't get away the past few days, but I came to see you today after I finished my work."
Zhao Yuan answered with a smile.
"Okay, I've finished my classes for today. Let's go, I'll show you around our campus."
Gong Xianjin said.
Gong Xianjin excitedly led Zhao Yuan on a tour of the campus, proudly introducing the achievements of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at each stop.
As they chatted, they arrived at a newly built machinery workshop that was nearing completion, showcasing the latest research findings. Gong Xianjin enthusiastically explained the significance and prospects of these achievements to Zhao Yuan, who listened with great interest.
"Teacher Gong, I need a batch of food mixers and food packaging machines. Do you have any here? How much does a set cost?"
Zhao Yuan asked.
"Brother Zhao, are you planning to open a food factory?"
Gong Xianjin looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise.
"We have this idea, but it's still in the planning stage. We need to understand the cost of the machinery first in order to raise funds."
Zhao Yuan said.
"Brother Zhao, if you're willing to talk to us, our team has independently developed a complete set of machinery. You only need to pay the cost price. If you encounter any problems during use, just contact me. It's no worse than imported ones, but much more economical."
Gong Xianjin said.
"That's great! How much is a set? I'll go back and make the necessary arrangements."
Zhao Yuan was very excited after hearing this, as he had not expected such an extra gain from his trip to the capital.
"It's 2000 yuan for the whole set. I'll come and install it for you."
Gong Xianjin said.
"Thank you so much, Professor Gong. I'll go back and make the arrangements and place the order, but it may take a while."
When Zhao Yuan heard this price, he realized it represented the actual cost.
"Teacher Zhao, I came here mainly to deliver a letter to you on behalf of Zhou Jiefang, and also to ask him if there is any hope for him to be reinstated as a student."
As he spoke, Zhao Yuan handed Gong Xianjin a letter.
