Yan Leqin, Feng Hua and their entourage's meeting with the State Economic Commission was scheduled for the third day after their arrival in China. Attending the talks were Zhang Kejian, director of the www.biquge.info Economic Commission, and responsible persons of several functional departments, including Luo Xiangfei, deputy director of the Heavy Equipment Office. Feng Xiaochen also participated in this meeting, and his status is very special, as a liaison between the two sides of the negotiation, although he sits in the last seat, he is frequently talked about by the two sides of the negotiation.

The real theme of this meeting was about Sino-German cooperation in the establishment of an equipment science and technology fund, but nominally the leaders of the State Economic Commission welcomed Professor Yan Leqin and his entourage back to China to visit relatives, which is also in line with the tradition of Chinese officialdom to treat official affairs as private affairs. Yan Leqin has two identities in this meeting, one is as a patriotic scientist who has made small achievements overseas, and the other is the widow of the veteran scientist Feng Weiren, both of which are worthy of being personally greeted by officials of a state ministry and commission.

At the beginning of the talks, Zhang Kejian first talked to Yan Leqin about Feng Weiren's contributions after returning to China, as well as some of Yan Leqin's patriotic activities in Germany in the past few years, so as to set the tone of this cooperation at the height of overseas Chinese serving the country. For this positioning, Yan Leqin is very happy, and there is even a little excitement and pride between her eyebrows.

Next, the talks got to business. Feng Hua introduced to Zhang Kejian the overall idea of the Mingbao Bank for the establishment of the China Equipment Industry Science and Technology Fund, although this idea was put forward by the Mingbao Bank, but because of Feng Xiaochen's participation, it is very in line with the considerations of the State Economic Commission.

"Okay, Mr. Feng, thank you so much and Mingbao Bank. Your plan is completely tailor-made for us, and it is a charcoal for us. Zhang Kejian said to Feng Hua sincerely.

Feng Hua said with a smile: "What did Director Zhang say, I am also a descendant of Yan and Huang, my father and two elder brothers have made contributions to the country for so many years, and I have not done anything, and I can do this well, and it can be regarded as my unworthy descendants of the Chinese nation doing my part for the country." ”

"Haha, well said, well said, worthy of being a descendant of Feng Lao. Zhang Kejian praised with a smile, and then turned his head to Luo Xiangfei and asked, "Xiangfei, is one of his two elder brothers that Mr. Feng mentioned just now Xiao Feng's father?"

Luo Xiangfei had made preparations before, and he quickly replied, "Yes." Comrade Feng Li, the eldest son of Feng Lao, worked in Nanjiang Province and was a teacher at the No. 2 Middle School in Xinling City, Nanjiang Province, and won the title of advanced worker for many years, and he was Xiao Feng's father. Comrade Feng Fei, the second son of Feng Lao, works in Dongxiang Machinery Factory in Qingdong Province, is an engineer in the factory and a model worker. Xiao Feng, you are very familiar with it, and now you are the backbone of our heavy equipment office. ”

"Comrade Xiao Feng is not only the backbone of your Heavy Equipment Office, but also the backbone of our Economic Commission. Zhang Kejian did not hesitate to praise his words. Feng Xiaochen's talent and contribution are obvious to all in the Economic Commission, and Zhang Kejian's evaluation is not an exaggeration. In addition, in the conversation with Yan Leqin and Feng Hua, he already felt that the family attached great importance to Feng Xiaochen, the third generation of the family, and praising Feng Xiaochen in front of them could strengthen their determination to do a good job in the fund.

"Elder Yan, not only do you have three good sons, but your grandchildren are also very good. Zhang Kejian turned his head to Yan Leqin and said.

"This is the result of leadership cultivation, I heard Xiaochen say that the leaders of the Economic Commission are very concerned about him and very important, and I thank Director Zhang and all the leaders on behalf of our family. Yan Leqin said the scene, and there was irrepressible joy in her heart.

Previously, she had heard Feng Xiaochen talk about his own achievements in China. The last time Feng Shuyi came to China, she met Meng Fanze accompanied by Feng Xiaochen, and after returning to China, she told Yan Leqin that Feng Xiaochen was also quite favored in front of the minister. Yan Leqin was a little skeptical about all these news, always worried that Feng Xiaochen and Feng Shuyi had exaggerated and exaggerated the care of ordinary leaders into special favor.

This time, Yan Leqin saw with his own eyes the favor and trust that Feng Xiaochen received in front of the officials of the First Economic Commission, and many officials would mention Feng Xiaochen when they spoke, and Zhang Kejian and Luo Xiangfei would ask Feng Xiaochen one or two questions from time to time and ask him to help answer. And Feng Xiaochen's performance in front of these leaders was extremely calm, showing that it was not the first time he had a dialogue with these leaders, but he had often experienced such a scene, and he also appeared as a subordinate who had the right to speak.

Seeing all this, Yan Leqin's heart couldn't help but become hot. She is an old man who is nearly seventy years old, her honor and disgrace are insignificant, and it is the most gratifying thing to be able to see the glory of her children and grandchildren. And if she can contribute to the career development of her children and grandchildren, it will be even more happy.

"Director Zhang, when I went to study in Germany with Xiaochen's grandfather, it was for the ideal of serving the country through industry. Because of a mistake, Hua'er and I were not able to return to China at the most difficult time for the country, and contribute to the country with Xiaochen's grandfather, which is something that I regret for the rest of my life. Now that there is such an opportunity, I am willing to give it my all. If Director Zhang has any orders, I will be duty-bound. Yan Leqin said.

"Yan Lao's patriotic enthusiasm is really worth learning from. Zhang Kejian first put on another high hat for Yan Leqin, and then said: "Listening to Yan Lao's words, I have an idea, and I don't know if it's suitable or not." ”

Yan Leqin said: "Director Zhang, please speak, as long as I can do it." ”

Zhang Kejian said: "The plan proposed by Mr. Feng on behalf of Mingbao Bank is very much in line with the needs of our country's development. If our country wants to carry out modernization, science and technology must go first, and in order to develop science and technology, we must have financial support. Our country has a large population, a weak foundation, and a very short supply of funds. If this equipment science and technology fund can be established, it will play a key role in promoting the development of our country's equipment industry.

The Economic Commission immediately convened a meeting to discuss this issue, listened to the opinions of the Planning Commission, the Science and Technology Commission, the Education Commission, the Ministry of Machinery, the Ministry of Chemical Industry, and other ministries and commissions, and came up with an implementation plan for this regard as soon as possible. I have a reluctant request to ask Mr. Yan to be the chairman of this fund, what do you think?"

"Please let me be the chairman?" Yan Leqin was stunned. Although she was sitting in the guest of honor position in this meeting, she always felt that she was just a matchmaker in this matter, appearing as Feng Hua's mother and Feng Xiaochen's grandmother, and this matter itself had nothing to do with her. Who would have thought that Zhang Kejian actually proposed to let her be the chairman of the fund, although she also knew that she was only a symbolic person in charge, but she still felt a kind of respect and responsibility.

"How can this be done, I'm just a retired teacher, and I'm also an overseas Chinese, so I can't afford such a heavy responsibility. Yan Leqin said nervously.

Zhang Kejian smiled: "Old Yan, I want to think about it, you are the most suitable person." You see, you are a well-known metallurgical equipment expert, understand the laws of industrial scientific research, and it is most appropriate to be responsible for the operation of this fund. Secondly, you have been teaching in Germany for many years, and you have a strong appeal in Europe and even the United States, which is irreplaceable. The most important point is that although you are overseas, your patriotic heart is always hot, and no one can compare to you when it comes to loyalty to the motherland. ”

Such a high evaluation made Yan Leqin stunned all of a sudden. In the final analysis, she is an intellectual, and she does not have much experience in officialdom, so how can she withstand this kind of praise from officials. She said modest words in her mouth, but her face bloomed with a smile, and she said in a loud voice: "Director Zhang praised me like this, I can't afford it." In this way, if the country really needs this, I, the old lady, have nothing to say, and I should give full play to this residual heat. I can temporarily take the position of chairman of the board of directors, and when the country finds a more suitable candidate, I will let Xian go. However, now that I'm old, there's nothing wrong with just putting on a name, and I'm afraid I can't do much actual work. After all, I'm abroad, and I'm not familiar with domestic affairs. ”

Zhang Kejian said: "Elder Yan rest assured, you mainly play a role at the helm, and we will arrange competent cadres to be responsible for specific matters, isn't your baby grandson still sitting there, he is the youngest and most effective department-level cadre in our Economic Commission." ”

"Oh, Xiaochen can't do it, he's still too young and not stable enough. Yan Leqin said insincerely.

Zhang Kejian said: "Don't worry, we will try our best to cultivate him." As for what Yan Lao just said about being overseas, I think so, first, you are an advantage overseas, which can help us promote overseas and play a role that we cannot play. Second, we also welcome Mr. Yan to return to China often to take a look and guide the construction of the country. Xiao Hao, I have given you a task from the Budget Department of the Department of Industry and Communications, in the next few days, to find an idle small courtyard house in the capital, and then it will be used as Yan Lao's residence in the capital. As for the usual times, let Xiao Feng live there to take care of the family, and it is also convenient for Xiao Feng to fall in love and make a partner. ”

The last sentence is a joke, which also reflects Zhang Kejian's art of conversation. Everyone laughed all at once, and Hao Yawei, who is the director of the budget department of the Department of Industry and Transportation, nodded again and again with a smile, and responded loudly: "Director Zhang, don't worry, I promise to complete the task." ”

He was sitting next to Feng Xiaochen at this time, and after saying the above words, he turned his head and whispered to Feng Xiaochen: "Xiao Feng, you are so blessed, the director personally approved a small courtyard house for you to fall in love, you know how difficult it is for young people to get married and find a house now." Hey, so let's do it, I have a distant niece who is very beautiful, so it's cheap for you kid......"
