And this time when he came back, Ye Xing also experienced a special surprise.

That is, although the Ministry of Industry has decided to agree to Ye Xing's position as the director of the Beiguo Rare Earth Concentrate Factory, it has not removed him from his current position as deputy director of the Second Division of the Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry.

What does this mean?

In fact, it is a temporary exercise.

Temporary posts have a very special significance in the Chinese system.

Generally speaking, the temporary position means that the person is very promising, and this new position is just a springboard on his growth road, because the original unit still retains the position, as long as he can perform the work tasks well during the suspension period and successfully complete the organization's arrangements, then after he returns to the original unit, promotion is almost a sure thing.

The time of suspension is generally specified, but it is very strange that Ye Xing is not clear in the documents of the Ministry of Industry this time.

This is an extremely rare phenomenon, and Ye Xing has also asked Zhong Bai about this matter.

And Zhong Bai's answer is very simple: "This shows that the length of your suspension depends on your achievements in the Beiguo Rare Earth Concentrate Factory." As long as you can produce results, when the situation is stable and you find a successor to the factory director, you can probably come back. ”

So Ye Xing was very excited, he originally wanted to further develop through this matter, but it was just an indirect factor.

But I didn't expect to hit the right one, and directly made myself a director-level factory director, and it was also a temporary post, no matter how you look at it, it is better than the original depiction of the route!

At the age of twenty-nine, he was promoted to a department-level cadre, not to mention before, just said that when he joked with Zhong Bai before the New Year, Ye Xing never thought about it.

If Zhong Bai hadn't found himself by chance that time and had to hand over his report to the ministry for review, I'm afraid this opportunity would not have appeared.

Therefore, in the dark, Ye Xing even felt that Zhong Bai, who was several years younger than him, was his nobleman!

Today's joint press conference is also Ye Xing's first public appearance in his new capacity, or a public appearance, which is very important to him.

He is usually sharp-toothed, but he can't help but be a little nervous at the moment, and he can't let go of it when he is teasing Zhong Bai in the car.

When he got off the bus at the south building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhong Bai patted Ye Xing, who was still a little stunned, and said, "My Director Ye, get off at the station!" What are you still doing in the car, is this air conditioner and heating blowing too comfortably? ”

"Uh-oh." Ye Xing reacted at this time, grabbed his briefcase and slipped out of the car.

It's cold outside, the cold wind of minus ten degrees immediately makes people feel a lot more sober, Ye Xing was about to enter the gate of the south building, but was stopped by Zhong Bai.

"What's the matter, this joint press conference will start in half an hour, go up and prepare first, you still want to smoke a cigarette?" Ye Xing was a little strange, took out a pack of Chinese from his pocket, dismantled it and handed it to Zhong Bai.

"No, there's one more person to wait." Zhong Bai took the cigarette, lit it, and replied seriously.

"Waiting for whom?"

"My teacher."

"...... your teacher?" Ye Xing thought about it for a long time, but he didn't figure out what kind of teacher Zhong Bai was.

Zhong Bai explained: "It is Professor Yuan Jianguo of the National Industrial Research Institute. ”

"Oh, it's the professor, then I'll wait with you." Ye Xing said very generously: "Anyway, Minister Xiang has already gone upstairs first, isn't it a little chilly to blow the cold wind alone?" ”

The fact that Yuan Jianguo is Teacher Zhong Bai was actually unknown to Ye Xing before, because Ye Xing did not participate in the process of competing with Yuan City and MD people that time, so he didn't know that there were twists and turns between him and Yuan Jianguo.

And after going back that time, Yuan Jianguo was also successfully promoted from associate professor to professor, of which Zhong Bai played a lot of credit.

The reason why Yuan Jianguo was specially called this time...... In fact, it's very simple, Zhong Bai is also afraid of trouble, and some technologies have to be released by themselves "borrowing" Professor Yuan's reasons, otherwise a twenty-three-year-old section chief can toss such a big move, I'm afraid that those little RB reporters will mutter about whether there is a problem again.

Before a cigarette could be smoked, a Volga drove up bumping up.

As soon as Yuan Jianguo got out of the car, he saw Zhong Bai and Ye Xing coming up.

"Zhong Bai, you have been sinking to the grassroots level during this time, it seems that the conditions are very difficult! Look, this face has been blown out by the wind. Yuan Jianguo looked at Zhong Bai, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he cared about Zhong Bai's body.

He looked at Ye Xing next to him again and asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhong Bai hurriedly introduced Ye Xing's identity, and emphasized that the two of them had been working in the Baiyun Obo mining area during this time.

Ye Xing also hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Professor Yuan, look up for a long time!" I'll just say that Zhong Bai, this kid, is so capable, it turns out that there is a famous teacher like you! ”

"Haha! How dare you, Xiao Zhong is talented and intelligent, he has no teacher, and my teacher is just a false name. Yuan Jianguo also laughed and said modestly.

The three of them exchanged a few words before going upstairs together, because Zhong Bai was in a hurry this time, so he prepared some paper materials in advance and handed them to Yuan Jianguo, so that he could answer the questions that RB reporters might ask at the meeting later.

After arriving at the venue, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Industry were almost all here, and there were still 15 minutes before the press conference officially began, and everyone was preparing in an orderly manner.

Of course, the two deputy ministers Xiang Pan and Feng Kuanning sat in the middle, and the two sides were stretched out, and they were seated in order according to their positions, and Zhong Bai, the small section chief, was naturally at the farthest end.

Feng Kuanning looked at it for a moment, and soon noticed Zhong Bai in the distance.

The face was unbelievably young, and although the skin looked a little rough, it could still be seen that he was in his early twenties.

He thought about it and beckoned to Zhong Bai and said, "Little Zhong! ”

Zhong Bai was still discussing technical details with Yuan Jianguo at this time, and he didn't notice Feng Kuanning's shouting next to him, but instead shouted at Pan's loud voice and reminded: "Xiao Zhong, Minister Feng told you, come over quickly!" ”

"It's coming!" As soon as Zhong Bai heard Feng Kuanning call him, he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly got up and walked over.

Although Feng Kuanning is a vice minister, he doesn't put on a show, and when he saw Zhong Bai coming, he took the initiative to get up and shake hands with the other party, and said with a smile: "It turns out that this time it alarmed the two countries, and you were the one who wrote two special issues, yes, young and promising!" ”

"Minister Feng praised it falsely, those are all under the guidance of my teacher Yuan Jianguo, oh, it's the one over there." At this time, you can't do it all, Zhong Bai hurriedly pointed to Yuan Jianguo in the distance, and said.

Yuan Jianguo also got up at this moment and bowed his head slightly.

Feng Kuanning smiled and waved his hand to the other party, then turned to Zhong Bai and asked, "Xiao Zhong, do you know how much pressure our Foreign Affairs Department has borne in the past half a month because of this Beiguo rare earth concentrate factory?" And I also asked Minister Xiang about this, saying that you also cut it first and then played, but because you have done everything before, your Ministry of Industry is willing to endorse this project. But you can't do this in the future, and the organization must have organized rules. ”

"Minister Feng is right, I remember." After all, he is a big man from a foreign unit, and Zhong Bai's attitude is still very correct: "In fact, strictly speaking, this time to set up a rare earth concentrate factory in Beiguo is not the result, but the cause of another thing." ”

"Oh? Or is it something else?! ”

Originally, Feng Kuanning just wanted to take this opportunity to knock Zhong Bai and not make trouble in vain in the future, but Zhong Bai's explanation really shocked Feng Kuanning!
