In the hotel room at night, no matter how Lu Xudong asked Zhong Bai how he bought this classic 5227J-001 for only 700 Swiss francs, he was reluctant to reveal it.

"I can only swear to God, the origin of this watch is definitely decent and can stand the test, and it is indeed a second-hand watch, but the condition is almost the same as new, Director Lu, can we stop asking about this matter?" Zhong Bai said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Okay, then let's not talk about this for now." Lu Xudong also judged from the other party's response that Zhong Bai should not be lying, and changed the topic: "Xiao Zhong, do you have any plans after returning to China?" I mean work. ”

Zhong Bai pretended to be confused and said, "At work? Of course there are plans! Although the 3702 patent has been done, there is still a lot of work to be done on the special fertilizer, and it is almost the last day of the year, and the technical department of our factory will also make a summary of the work of the whole year......"

Lu Xudong interrupted Zhong Bai's words a little impatiently: "I'm not asking you to say that these jobs are originally in the predetermined plan, I mean what you think about your work after the special fertilizer was released a year ago and the first batch of products from our Tianhe Province were delivered to the 35th Division!" Especially your personal willingness to develop next, huh? ”

Rub, you can't hide no matter how you dodge, can you?

Zhong Bai naturally knew what Lu Xudong's extraneous voice meant, it was nothing more than wanting to mobilize himself, leave the Shanping County Fertilizer Factory, and change to a new job.

Of course, he will not reject Director Lu now, because now is no more than when he was just reborn, and he has not made any achievements, so he is willing to choose to take root at the grassroots level and do things in a down-to-earth manner.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhong Bai also made a big surprise to the Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry at the end of the year, whether it is rewarding meritorious deeds or promoting outstanding talents, this is almost an unavoidable problem in front of Lu Xudong.

Whoever makes whether it is a 3702 patent or a special fertilizer is a matter handled under the leadership of Lu Xudong, this is not a question of how much he participates, but these things are not responsible at a certain height with Zhong Bai's current identity, and if you want to reflect their significance at a higher level, you must have a leader to endorse them.

Zhong Bai didn't like anything like gangs in his previous life, but having a leader who appreciates him and is a deputy director who has real power and can influence the industrial development of Tianhe Province and even the whole country for a long time is not a bad thing for him, but a great boost in his work.

Because China is not a small country, but a big country with a long history of 5,000 years of civilization, which has slowly begun to rise again in modern times, it is destined that the development of China's industry will not follow the direction system of small countries, nor can it go to the kind of individual hero worship of the West, which is unscientific, unrigorous and does not conform to China's national conditions.

Only on a higher platform can outstanding talents play a more important role, which is the consensus of every outstanding leader, and Lu Xudong is no exception.

Zhong Bai actually thought about this problem.

The fertilizer industry, it is just a small part of China's huge industrial system, even if this small link is amazing, but Zhong Bai feels that at least in less than two months of his rebirth, he has made a 3702 patent and is about to complete a special fertilizer big event, but if you want to achieve your goal faster and better, I am afraid that the stage of Shanping County Fertilizer Factory is indeed a little smaller.

So again, under Lu Xudong's serious inquiry, Zhong Bai also thought carefully before replying respectfully: "I have thought about this question, Director Lu." But the special fertilizer is indeed in the critical stage, and the New Year will be coming soon after it is done, so let me go home during the New Year holiday and think about it, and then give you a thoughtful result, okay? ”

"Well, young people know how to plan and then act, yes, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer sheet when the time comes." This answer did not seem to surprise Lu Xudong, he nodded approvingly: "There is still a lot of work to be done in the province and the department, although it is different from the fertilizer industry you are currently engaged in, but it is an industrial line, I also hope that in addition to work during this time, strengthen the study of other professional knowledge, and we will talk about it later." ”

……

This unfinished answer sheet was temporarily put aside by him after Zhong Bai returned to Tiandu.

It's not because he doesn't want to think, but because one job after another, whether public or private.

The delegation was a complete success, and the office of the department naturally wanted to write a special account of the work of applying for patents abroad, and strive for the praise of the province, after all, at the time of the approaching New Year, this achievement is an unplanned good thing, of course, everyone is happy.

Zhong Bai was still the same as before, and refused all kinds of interviews and reports contacted by the provincial department on the grounds that he was busy with work, and even did not want his name to appear on the summary materials, which Zhong Bai deliberately emphasized to the other party before leaving Lu Xudong's office.

Some small gifts brought in Switzerland, Zhong Bai still sent them to Sun Guangshi and Tong Sifang as usual, and it only took half a day for him to devote himself to intense work again.

Eight days, although it seems to be a long time, but in fact, it is just a flick of a finger, and when Zhong Bai came to the set of workers' family rooms rented by Yu Dongfeng near People's Square to meet each other, Yu Dongfeng had just slept soundly and was waiting at home.

"Dongfeng, I've been running back and forth in Guangfu for a week, it's really hard for you." Looking at the sturdy nitrogen fertilizer workshop worker in the fertilizer plant in the past, although his eyes were bright, his face that had lost a circle of weight showed that it was not easy for him to go south and north recently, Zhong Bai patted the other party's shoulder from the bottom of his heart and greeted.

"Hehe, no matter how hard you work, where is your hard work? It's all been a trip to Europe and come back, I see you're still so energetic and full of cleanliness! Yu Dongfeng's tone did not mean to be tired, and he smiled: "I have gained a lot from going to Guangfu this time, and our common funds have reached a new level!" ”

As he spoke, Yu Dongfeng took out a passbook and handed it to Zhong Bai, motioning him to open it and take a look.

Flipping it open, a number appeared on it - 18,000 yuan!

Rao is number also exceeded Zhong Bai's expectations, he originally thought that this trip Yu Dongfeng went to Guangfu to buy again, and he could earn 10,000 yuan to basically achieve his goal, but he didn't expect the other party to give him a surprise!
