February 3, 1992, Chinese New Year's Eve, was another big Chinese New Year's Eve. The charter and Xia Yao did not come back, nor did Zhang Hui, Liu Siwei and Xiao Jiahui, but the beach villa was not deserted at all.

"Mom, Wenming called us not to wait, Mr. Wu is going to attend the reception of the Federation of Workers, Mr. Xu went to Russia, Mr. Lin of NB Electronics went to Germany again, he wants to go to the security factory on behalf of the group to accompany the colleagues who work overtime for Chinese New Year's Eve."

There are a lot of people in the evening, so you have to eat and drink early.

As soon as Gu Hongxia and Xu Ping washed the fish that were going to be put in the pot later, Chen Baolin's loud voice came from outside.

She said "Mom", and she didn't know if it was Gu Hongxia's mother-in-law or Xu Ping's mother-in-law, Wu Xiulan felt very funny, picked up the freshly cut sauce beef and said with a smile: "The company is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more things, and it's not easy to sit down and have a meal together, let alone the New Year." ”

Xu Ping sighed lightly, and said with a helpless wry smile: "It's normal for San'er and Wenming to be busy, they are both doing big things, but my family Baodong is a body, and he is also busy." ”

"Baodong is not an ordinary self-employed person."

Among their generation, Gu Hongxia is the most business-minded, and immediately turned on a straight face, and said with concern: "He used to be the agent of the electronics division in the seaside, and now he is the agent of NB Electronics in the entire Dongshan Province, with hundreds of thousands of turnover every day, and it is normal to be busy." ”

The market in a province was all handed over to him, and Xu Ping was worried: "I'm afraid that he won't do a good job, and the company's sales will be delayed at that time." ”

Gu Hongxia was happy, and couldn't help laughing: "Our color TV is a high-end route, and internal coastal provinces like Dongshan only sell dozens of units a day." Besides, the NB electronics marketing department and sales department don't care about everything. What is there to worry about? ”

"yes. Zhang Bing, Xiaozhu and Xiaojun are not all on their own, Xiaoping, Hongxia is right, there is really nothing to worry about. ”

This is another major move of the group's "de-familyization", for the future development of NB Electric, Zhang Bing, Wu Xiaozhu and Wu Xiaojun and other shareholders took the lead in resigning their positions in NB Electronics, using their financial advantages to become NB Electronics, NB Electrical Appliances or NB Electric Complete Sets of provincial agents in China.

So far. The only relatives and friends who remain in the management positions of NB Electrical are Ding Wenming, executive director and vice president of the group, and Wu Xiaolian, cashier of the financial department of NB Electronics.

Thinking that her eldest daughter Xia Ning and son-in-law Su Xingyun were still working in the company, Tian Qiuju, who had been unable to speak, felt very uncomfortable, and always felt as if she was not going to go away from NB Electric, dragging her son-in-law and daughter back.

Wu Xiulan seemed to see something, and hurriedly changed the topic: "San'er and Xia Yao won't be back until October as early as possible, Qiu Ju, Hongxia, Xiaoping, I think about it, no matter how busy they are." This time I came back and did it, so I didn't have to worry about it. ”

"They got their certificates. The young couple are respectful of each other, and I am not worried at all. Gu Hongxia pointed to the top of her head and said meaningfully: "Xiulan, what we have to consider now is Linlin, a big girl in her twenties, who can't be delayed any longer." ”

Zhang Lin came back and brought back a blonde and blue-eyed female classmate.

Fortunately, it was a female classmate, if she brought a male classmate with a high nose and blue eyes back, Wu Xiulan really didn't know how to explain to Zhang Yuanchao under Jiuquan.

This is a question that must be considered, she shook her head and smiled bitterly after thinking about it: "My son can't help but be a mother, especially our family, you tell me, from Xiaohui to San'er, and then to Linlin, who has heard of me?" ”

Her family's situation is indeed very special, the children are more capable than the other, they can't be held back, their work and study can't be delayed, and the elders really don't have much right to speak. Xu Ping thought for a while, and said thoughtfully: "Xiulan, you can't take care of it, it doesn't mean that others can't take care of it, isn't Xiaohui nothing, let her sister worry more." ”

"That's all it can be."

As she was talking, Wu Xiaolian, who had just accompanied her future mother-in-law Ge Guifeng to the city to buy something, walked in. For a while, the focus of the discussion shifted to her and Chen Changhe.

When to get married, when to have children, and after marriage, should you spend the Spring Festival in the two families like Ding Wenming and Chen Baolin did at the beginning...... Topics like this made Wu Xiaolian blush.

"Mom, don't you bother, just talk about this."

Even Chen Baolin couldn't stand it anymore, so she hugged the child and said, "Xiaolian, help me get the bottle in the car." Let your parents not be busy, go upstairs to talk to my dad and your dad for a while. ”

In the end, it is a good sister, Wu Xiaolian secretly praised one, and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I'll go now." ”

Talking about marriage, my parents have become two, how to call them, Chen Changhe is really not used to it.

The young man is shy, unlike Ding Wenming, Zhang Bing, Wu Xiaozhu and Wu Xiaojun, who have been rolling in the mall for so many years and even opportunistically. Chen Zhenghuai, who arrived in the SAR yesterday afternoon, patted the sofa next to him and said with a smile: "Changhe, sit down, there are no outsiders here, don't be embarrassed." ”

The son couldn't let go, and Chen Shikang, who came to the SAR for the first time for the New Year, was anxious: "Uncle Chen asked you to sit on it, you can sit it, twist and twist, what does it look like?" ”

Wu Xiucheng was so satisfied with such a son-in-law that he couldn't be more satisfied, and immediately got up and said: "Changhe, help us change the tea leaves, I have soaked them a few times, and there is no tea taste." ”

Chen Changhe came to his senses at this time, hurriedly picked up the purple sand teapot in front of them, and said with embarrassment: "Dad, Uncle Chen, Uncle Ding, I'll help you make tea." ”

Chen Shikang smiled: "It's about the same. ”

Since entering the national ministries and commissions, Chen Zhenghuai has become more and more like a leader, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "Changhe, how does it feel to work in the laboratory?" ”

Broadly speaking, there are five ways to enter the NB laboratory, the first is to accept a high-paying employment from the laboratory as an academically accomplished scientist; The second type is young researchers working in scientific research institutions at home and abroad, who enter the NB laboratory through application, mainly engaged in system engineering and technical application research;

Submitting an application, attending an interview, and becoming a PhD student in NB Lab is the third way. But the number of places is small, the competition is fierce, and for the reputation of the lab, the tutors are extremely demanding of students, and even if they do, they may not be able to get a degree.

The fourth way to enter the laboratory is to become a member of the research group or project team by publishing job advertisements in technical journals according to the needs of the subject and project.

The requirements for the candidates are not only very high, but also the job is not very stable, as soon as the project or project is over, like those R&D personnel before the independence of NB Laboratory, they will either accept the arrangement to be shunted to the subsidiary of NB Electric's subgroup, or find another job.

The fifth way is to become an ordinary staff member of the laboratory, Chen Changhe naturally does not engage in finance, procurement, warehouse management, let alone a driver or janitor, but a laboratory technician who works for doctoral students and engages in repetitive experiments. The salary of this job is not high, but you can get the guidance of a supervisor like a graduate student.

If he hadn't called Dr. Yin Pengjun, the director of the experimental center who had just returned from Max Planck in Germany, and went through the back door, he would not have been able to get this job, which is no different from a graduate student except for the salary.

The academic qualifications are there, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Chen Changhe put down the teapot and told the truth: "Uncle Chen, I am only an undergraduate, and the major of applied physics is too complicated, so it can be said that I don't know anything, and if it weren't for the help of my colleagues, many experiments would not have been done at all." It's stressful, but it's also challenging. ”

Wu Xiucheng wasted no time in saying: "Changhe works very hard, like San'er, except for reading books, he basically stays in the library of the experimental center after work. ”

"Good work."

Chen Zhenghuai patted him on the arm, and said seriously: "In your life, you and San'er are the only ones who take this path, and he is self-taught. As the saying goes, if you don't suffer hardship, how can you become a master, your conditions are a hundred times better than him, so it's better to do a good job. ”

That's just a freak, can this be compared?

Chen Changhe was made laughable, and couldn't help blurting out: "Uncle Chen, interlacing is like a mountain, you have never engaged in scientific research, I don't know how high Lu Dao San'er has come." To put it mildly, in terms of his achievements in quantum mechanics research and his insights on some scientific problems, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a master, and your expectations of me are too high, right? ”

Chen Zhenghuai was suspicious: "Master? ”

"Yes."

Chen Changhe confirmed with a serious face: "Although he is far away in Russia, he often communicates with professors and graduate students by e-mail, all academically. I'm doing a couple of experiments right now to help him test some of his ideas. ”

Ding was happy to love the country, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "What is he studying now?" ”

"He has a wide range of knowledge, including quantum mechanics, materials physics and materials chemistry, and is not only familiar with electronics and computer technology, but also has unique insights. This requires a deep theoretical foundation, and even our director is ashamed of himself. ”

"This kid seems to be really planning to be a scientist."

"He's already a scientist, and he's still an accomplished scientist."

Chen Zhenghuai nodded slightly, and then changed his words: "Then he is your role model, they all say that the building near the water gets the moon first." Yu Gong, you are his colleague. Yu private, you are his brother, if you have any questions that you don't understand, just ask him, now that communication is so convenient, you can make a phone call, and you can also use the email you just said. ”

As soon as he remembered the email he just received yesterday, Chen Changhe smiled heartily: "Uncle Chen, we are in contact often, and yesterday he also said in the email that he helped me buy a few original English books and bring them back together when the time comes." (To be continued......)
