"Professor, is there a suitable candidate?" Yang Fanglie asked.

"Yes, yes, but ......"

"Just what?"

Seeing that Yang Fanglie kept asking Luo Jinyong, Zhang Xiaogang smiled and shook his head. Yang Fanglie is a soldier with a strong sense of purpose, and many times he does not pay much attention to methods and methods.

"I have an old classmate who I think is a better fit."

"Who?"

"Professor Ding Mingcong, to be precise, an associate professor."

"Ding Mingcong from Tsinghua University?"

Luo Jinyong nodded, indicating that it was him.

"Okay, I'll let Wei Longzheng invite him."

"Mr. Yang, I'd better go find him." Seeing that Yang Fanglie was about to call Wei Longzheng in, Luo Jinyong hurriedly said, "He is my old classmate, and he has a very good relationship with me. It's best for me to talk about it. Let Lao Wei go directly to him, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating. ”

"You call him first." Zhang Xiaogang said, "Hint at him first, just say that you are in charge of an extremely important military scientific research project and need a trustworthy assistant." Of course, you can offer great terms such as salary, benefits, bonuses, and job titles. If he is interested, you say send someone to pick him up and discuss the specific issues after the meeting. When the time comes, let Lao Wei pick him up. ”

Luo Jinyong smiled bitterly, Zhang Xiaogang deceived him into the "thief ship" in the same way back then.

"Go call now." Yang Fanglie didn't say much wordy and pressed the switch of the intercom. "Xiao Wei, help the professor arrange a confidential phone."

"Is it with me?"

"Yes, the professor will come out for you right away."

Yang Fanglie made arrangements, and Luo Jinyong had no other choice but to go to Wei Longzheng's office to call Ding Mingcong.

"Can this man be trusted?" Waiting for Luo Jinyong to come out, Yang Fanglie asked Zhang Xiaogang.

"Two years ago, when the chief scientific advisor was selected, there were a total of five candidates, and Ding Mingcong was among them." Zhang Xiaogang lit a cigarette and said, "He and Luo Jinyong are classmates in the junior class of Tsinghua University, and they are one year older than Luo Jinyong." Later, when they were studying for graduate and doctoral studies, they were both the same supervisors, and the relationship between classmates was maintained until the doctoral graduation. Luo Jinyong did not pursue a postdoctoral degree and chose to teach at Tsinghua University. Ding Mingcong continued his postdoctoral studies and was given the opportunity to study at Stanford University in the United States. The relationship between the two is very good and they correspond frequently. When Ding Mingcong got married, Luo Jinyong was the best man, and later became the godfather of Ding Mingcong's son. ”

"So, Ding Mingcong is a very good scientist?"

"Compared with others, it can be said, but in front of Luo Jinyong, it doesn't count." Zhang Xiaogang paused slightly, and then said, "In the junior class, the results of the two are among the best, and it can be said that they are among the best. It's just that after this, Luo Jinyong proved himself, while Ding Mingcong began to go downhill. According to my understanding, Ding Mingcong's two doctorates, as well as most of his postdoctoral dissertations, have Luo Jinyong's credit. In addition, in the year when Ding Mingcong went abroad, Tsinghua University only had one public assignment place, and Luo Jinyong voluntarily gave up the opportunity to go to Harvard University as a visiting scholar. If Luo Jinyong is a genius, Ding Mingcong is 'Dong Yong'. After the age of twenty-five, his talent seems mediocre. Ding Mingcong can only be regarded as a well-known scholar in China at most, otherwise he would not be just an associate professor until now. In addition to his personal ability, Ding Mingcong also has family concerns. His wife is a stay-at-home wife, has a four-year-old son, and the family is very financially burdened, living in a married teacher's apartment at the school, and has not purchased a commercial house. ”

"Associate professors at Tsinghua University can't afford to buy commercial housing?"

"Mr. Yang, when you say this, I only know that you don't have any troubles in this regard." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "At Tsinghua University, there are so many professors, there are several professors in any teaching building, let alone associate professors." Ding Mingcong's monthly income will not exceed 10,000 yuan, and in the era when housing prices go straight to 100,000 square meters, even if he doesn't eat or drink, his annual income can only buy one square meter. ”

"This ......"

"Of course, the main thing is that the burden on the family is too heavy. Before joining, Luo Jinyong's income was not very high, but he had no family burden, so he lived a very chic life. I'm afraid you won't believe it, Luo Jinyong borrowed about 300,000 yuan to Ding Mingcong several times, so he is still a poor bastard. ”

"What does he want so much money for?"

"His son had a congenital hematopoietic dysfunction that later evolved into leukemia. All the money he borrowed was spent on treating his son's illness. Zhang Xiaogang sighed and said, "It is precisely because of these factors that I did not choose him as the chief scientific adviser, and people like him can be easily bought." ”

"If Luo Jinyong can convince him, I will help him solve the housing problem."

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Let's talk about this matter after the judgment day." If humanity hadn't gone extinct, I believe housing prices would have dropped to jaw-dropping proportions. Besides, Ding Mingcong can really help a lot, not to mention a house, it's not too much to give him a manor, right? ”

"The point is, can he be of great help?"

"If Luo Jinyong solves the most troublesome problem, he is only responsible for the follow-up work, and the problem will not be very big."

Yang Fanglie nodded and said, "Okay, as long as he can do his job well, after the judgment day, I will help him solve his personal difficulties." ”

"Mr. Yang, give him a house, it's better to cure his son's illness."

Yang Fanglie didn't say much, he was never stingy with meritorious personnel.

"I went around Lop Nur and the project went as expected." Zhang Xiaogang changed the topic, "It's the sprint stage, and we must not relax." We're going to Diego Garcia this time, I'm afraid we'll all have to stay there until Judgment Day, and we'll have to keep an eye on the rest of the work. ”

"You told Lao Yuan?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "Old Yuan is busier than me, I called him yesterday, and he was dealing with a major project in Yunnan." ”

"Wait, I'll call him."

"First of all, we must strengthen security precautions, and there must be no half-point spread pool."

"Don't worry, why don't you stay in the country and I'll send someone else to Diego Garcia?"

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "If I stay in China, Stark will definitely let the CIA and NSA send all the spies and agents to hunt me down." ”

"He thinks so highly of you?"

"Mr. Yang, the bad things I've done in the past two years, you don't know what to do."

Yang Fanglie laughed and said, "Okay, I will take precautions." It's the same with you, when you get to Diego Garcia, you have to be careful. ”

Zhang Xiaogang nodded, he took his life very seriously.

"Major, so do you." Yang Fanglie turned his gaze to Chu Tianjiang, who had never found a chance to speak. "Although the desert island dragon is finished, and the little devil has also been suppressed, your biggest enemy is Aldrich, don't underestimate and underestimate the Yankees."

"Mr. Yang, I will be very careful."

"Don't worry, with me watching, the Yankees won't mess around." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "And Lao Chu's learning ability is very strong, and he can learn everything as soon as he learns." With my guidance and guidance, he will definitely be able to pass the test and destroy all the enemies in his path. ”

Chu Tianjiang rolled his eyes, Zhang Xiaogang said this, as if he was the number one hero.

At this time, Luo Jinyong came back.

"How?"

"Let's talk about it, Lao Wei will pick him up in person."

"When will it arrive?"

"Half an hour, he's in class at school, and Lao Wei is going by helicopter."

"It's good this way, not only will he not encounter traffic jams, but he can also feel very faced." Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "Of course, he will also believe the nonsense you say." ”

"I'm telling the truth, and I'm not telling half a lie." Luo Jinyong is very honest, at least honest with his friends.

"Okay, what conditions did you give him?"

"That's what you're talking about, salary, benefits, bonuses, job titles. He specifically mentioned the matter of professional titles, and this year's professional title evaluation is about to begin. ”

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and glanced at Yang Fanglie.

"It's a small thing, and as long as he does his job, he can become a professor next month. The premise is that we're alive by this time next month. ”

"Professor, you go and wait. After talking to him, we'll go to Diego Garcia. ”

Luo Jinyong nodded, got up and left Yang Fanglie's office. Obviously, it was impossible for him to talk to Ding Mingcong about his work in front of Yang Fanglie.

An hour later, Luo Jinyong returned.

He persuaded Ding Mingcong and explained the things to pay attention to in his work, and then Wei Long sent someone to send Ding Mingcong to the Military Intelligence Bureau.

According to the arrangement, Ding Mingcong will disappear for more than 20 days in the name of "business trip".

During this time, he will not be able to contact his family and his whereabouts will be monitored by intelligence security officers.

After discussing a few more trivial matters, Yang Fanglie asked Wei Longzheng to send the three of them to the airport. Because he used a helicopter to pick up Ding Mingcong before, Wei Longzheng arranged for a helicopter to take them to the airport. It's just that Zhang Xiaogang refused, saying that he had vertigo phobia, and insisted on taking a car to the airport.

"Old Wei, go to the city first."

"To the city?" Wei Longzheng was a little puzzled. The Air Force airfield and the General Staff are in the western suburbs, and the airport from the General Staff will not pass through the city.

"Go ahead, we still have some things that we haven't done, and we're not in a hurry anyway."

"Your plane is ready."

"Since it's a special plane, you should wait for us, right?"

Wei Longzheng couldn't resist Zhang Xiaogang, so he could only drive the car onto the highway into the city. It's almost dusk, and it's the rush hour for getting off work in Beijing. I was stuck on the road for more than an hour, until it was completely dark, and I came to the place Zhang Xiaogang said.

"Professor, Lao Chu, get out of the car with me." Zhang Xiaogang got out of the car first, and then said to Wei Longzheng, "Old Wei, wait for us here for a while." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Do a little thing, and you'll be back in half an hour. You can contact the airport and get the transport plane ready for take-off, and you can be sure that it will be there in two hours. ”

Wei Longzheng was very helpless, but he was not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about Zhang Xiaogang.
