"I ......" Ye Xing instinctively wanted to refute that Zhong Bai did not join the coordination group for the sake of his career, but when the words came to his mouth, he found that he lacked confidence in his heart, and his explanation was a little unspeakable.

Seeing Ye Xing's stunned expression, Zhong Bai felt that his psychological grasp of the other party should be relatively accurate.

"Director Ye, I was a little far away just now." Zhong Bai suddenly changed his name again, and a smile appeared on his face again: "However, doing a good job this time will indeed be of great benefit to your career, and we can't deny this." Don't be careful, in fact, this is a bit like your leader's eagerness for you rather than me, but what I want to say is that if we succeed this time, in addition to the national and industry levels I just mentioned, you may personally get more than you imagined! ”

"Oh?" Ye Xing's heart moved.

"If I'm not mistaken, you've been deputy director for two and a half years, right?" Zhong Bai suddenly asked another personal question.

Ye Xing was a little confused by Zhong Bai: "Yes, I was the deputy in July 80." What's wrong? ”

"Hehe, it's not me boasting about Haikou, this time it's done, the word 'deputy' in your position can definitely be removed!" Zhong Bai smiled slightly and said in a determined tone.

Ye Xing's eyes flashed with a gleam!

This detail also did not escape Zhong Bai's eyes.

In fact, he came to Ye Xing today, called exchange work, which is actually a move to deepen the relationship between the two.

Ye Xing, Zhong Bai thinks that he will not be wrong - he wants to work, is willing to work, is capable, and can be the vice minister of the Ministry of Industry at a young age, and he must have a certain relationship, which is worth befriending.

In the same industrial system, Ye Xing is obviously not the same concept as the leaders he knew before for Zhong Bai.

Whether it is Sun Guangshi, the former deputy director of the Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry who has retired and has helped Zhong Bai several times, or the leaders who have a good relationship with him now, such as Deputy Director Lu Xudong of the Provincial Department, Deputy Director Ma Yingsheng and Director Qi Xiu of the Ministry, their thoughts are actually a certain generation gap with Zhong Bai.

Communicating with them, sometimes Zhong Bai wants to explain the benefits of a new concept and new measures clearly, which requires Zhong Bai to speak a lot, and even if the other party understands, he may not dare to let go and do all according to Zhong Bai's suggestions.

But Ye Xing is different.

The two are of the same age, at least the communication is much smoother, and Ye Xing is very young, if he can make progress in his position, then it will be beneficial for Zhong Bai to achieve more and greater work goals in the future.

Before, Zhong Bai and Ye Xing could only be regarded as superiors and subordinates with a good relationship in the past, and they did not work in the same place, they could be regarded as having feelings at work, but they did not have a substantial relationship of mutual support, this slightly "ordinary" relationship could not make Ye Xing worthy of unreserved support in some major work.

Don't mention any Geng Dali's things, those are small things, especially compared to a young deputy director in the ministry.

For the two to really establish a deep relationship at work, they have to experience an important job at the same time and achieve excellent results!

Therefore, this rare earth coordination group has become an accidental but inevitable opportunity.

said that it was accidental, when Zhong Bai asked Ye Xing to send a message to Si Li, he didn't expect that the coordination team would also draw Ye Xing over; And it is inevitable, because the Ministry of Industry, as one of the important components of the National Rare Earth Comprehensive Coordination Group, must send people to participate, but for the investigation and handling of the export of rare earth concentrate in the Baiyun Obo mining area, the Ministry of Industry has no special candidates for this work, and there is no counterpart department, just one of the following provincial department section chief Zhong Bai is far from enough, so, in line with the basic principle of "whoever proposes it will be involved", let Ye Xing, as the deputy director, participate in the specific work of the coordination group. It's a normal thing.

Of course, if Ye Xing was not a deputy director, but a director or a higher official, then his position in the coordination group could not be the same as Zhong Bai, just an ordinary staff member.

"I was promoted to the director of the department, and I will really have a leader who can support and help me in the future." Zhong Bai's conclusion is not long, and it is not detouring: "This is not for my personal benefit, in fact, I don't need it." However, the development of Huaguo's industry is not overnight, and it is not only the rare earth industry, if someone can support me in the ministry, then the speed and progress will be accelerated a lot. ”

"Okay...... It's like organizing an ideological education class for me. Ye Xing shrugged his shoulders and said, "But to be honest, there are so many section-level cadres, only you can set such a lofty goal." If it weren't for the fact that you've done a few great things before, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe it, haha. ”

"Just believe, isn't that a good start?"

Speaking of this, Zhong Bai suddenly remembered a song from his previous life.

It was written for young people who had just graduated from a university campus, who had gone from an ivory tower to society, and who were full of longing for work.

Although Zhong Bai's mental age has long passed the age of twenty, when he thinks of the big goal of revitalizing Huaguo rare earths and even revitalizing Huaguo's industry, he still has that passionate feeling in his chest.

And this youthful body makes him full of fighting spirit.

"I want to sing a song to express how I feel right now." Zhong Bai smiled: "I can't sing well, don't laugh." ”

"Why am I laughing at you? Come on! After all, Ye Xing is only twenty-eight years old, and he has already been a little overwhelmed by Zhong Bai's ambition just now, and at this time, the other party is engaged in some performance art of literary and artistic youth, and he does not have any antipathy, but is looking forward to it.

Zhong Bai hummed this inspirational song for youth in 2020.

"Time will answer growth"

"Growing up will answer dreams"

"Dreams will answer life"

"Life Answers You and Me Ways"

"The ocean will answer the rivers and lakes"

"The rivers and lakes will answer the rivers"

"The river will answer the wave"

"Jump into the sea of people together"

"Be a surging wave"

“……”

The modern melody of this "Into the Sea" is completely different from the pop songs of the 80s, not only the lyrics are catchy and easy to remember, but the melody is also very easy for ordinary people to hum, and the playback volume exceeded 2000W soon after it was released.

It was originally a description of the college graduates' expectations for a new identity and their yearning for hard work, but when it was sung in Zhong Bai's mouth, it was full of his personal thoughts, like a small wave in the industrial world, to dedicate himself to rare earths and even the entire Huaguo industry.

Songs that are poured with emotion are destined to have a soul.

Just after Zhong Bai finished humming again, Ye Xing couldn't help but come to his senses: "Groove, this song is so good!" Zhong Bai, you write down the words, and I will come too! By the way, what's its name? ”

Zhong Bai smiled slightly and spit out two words: "Into the sea." ”
