Chang Haonan briefly reviewed it and found that almost half a month had passed since Du Yishan called him back from Donglai, but no one had clearly told him what the "ceremony" he was attending was.

After a long time, it turned out to be an awards ceremony.

It has been almost a year since he was reborn, and although he has made a lot of achievements, and he has won a lot of honors from the aviation industry system and even the army, it is only the second time that this kind of serious ceremony needs to be held.

The first time was the celebration of Operation Bat Hunt.

Coincidentally, Chang Haonan was also kept in the dark at that time, and it was not until he was pulled to the scene by Ding Gaoheng that he learned the ins and outs of the whole thing.

It seems to have become a tradition.

The two staff members and Du Yishan did not answer Chang Haonan's surprised question, but took him to Tang Lintian's office and solemnly handed him a beautifully framed red envelope.

Obviously, this is to leave the surprise of the lottery to the winner himself.

The name of the award was not written on the surface of the envelope, but before Chang Haonan opened it, he noticed that the institution that issued the envelope was printed in two lines of small print in the lower right corner-

Komsomol ZY and the National Youth Federation.

His hand shook involuntarily.

In the eyes of many people, these two names may not have enough presence in daily life.

However, it still has a considerable status within the system, especially in organs and scientific research units.

The award that can be jointly issued by these two companies ......

Chang Haonan already had some guesses in his heart.

The envelopes of the 90s did not have the common quick-release design in later generations, so he picked up a letter-opening knife from Tang Lintian's pen holder and cut the envelope with rapid movements.

Inside is a certificate in a red book, as well as an invitation letter.

The certificate is printed with the emblem of the Communist Youth League, as well as two lines of thin lettering in hot stamping:

Chinese Youth May Fourth Medal

certificate

The contents of the certificate are concise and to the point.

"Awarded Comrade Chang Haonan the May Fourth Medal of Chinese Youth"

There is no need for any other explanation, and there is no cliché such as "this certificate is specially issued for encouragement".

Not at all.

Fifteen words are enough to reflect the gold content of this certificate.

Although just looking at the level of the issuing body, the first-class "Operation Bat Hunting" medal he received before was not inferior.

But this is a serious medal after all, and it is the kind that can be said generously.

At this moment, the other four people in the office all heard Chang Haonan's suddenly heavier breathing.

No one can remain completely calm at such a time.

Don't say anything about being a human being in two lives.

In his previous life, he lived to be more than forty years old, and the highest honor he received was an outstanding researcher at the level of the research institute.

The bigwigs are weak in the face of honor, and in most cases it is just because the honor that is very important in the eyes of ordinary people is not worth mentioning to them.

Why do I have to be notified of the Nobel Prize a few minutes before the draw?

One of the important reasons is to prevent the laureates from showing off in advance and ruining the Nobel Prize.

In fact, before today, Chang Haonan did predict that he might win an award for his contributions to many projects last year, but at best, he thought about it in the aviation industry system, at most within the system of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

rushed directly to the specification of the May Fourth Medal, which is indeed a bit of a surprise.

You should know that 1997 was the first time this award was awarded.

Although there is no rule that the first edition is more noble than the later ones, from a historical point of view, the title of the first winner is still more valuable.

Moreover, compared with the huge scale of twenty or thirty people later, the number of winners in previous years was usually only five or six.

However, Chang Haonan has rich life experience after all, and after the initial surprise and excitement, he quickly took two deep breaths to calm himself down a little, and then raised his head.

"Thank you two for coming here, I remember saying that there was something I needed to sign?"

"That's right, there is a receipt at the back of the invitation, you sign it, and leave it to us after confirming whether you can attend, if you are present, it is best to arrive at the venue about two hours in advance, and there will be staff to guide you to the backstage to be in place."

"No problem."

Chang Haonan flipped the invitation to the end, ticked the "Confirm Participation" option, and signed his name.

Just kidding, Du Yishan didn't call him back for this matter, how could there be a reason not to participate.

After signing, he quickly sent away two staff members who came to report the good news.

Chang Haonan put the certificate and invitation back into the envelope and carefully put it in his bag.

"How about it, I didn't lose you this trip to call you back, right?"

Judging from the demeanor of the old god Du Yishan, he obviously knew it a long time ago, but in order to leave a surprise for Chang Haonan, he didn't explain.

Before, Tang Lintian probably subconsciously felt that Du Yishan must have said it, so he played a dumb riddle with the latter for a long time.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why when Chang Haonan saw Tang Lintian for the first time after he came back, the other party behaved like that.

The first May Fourth Medal did not have a collective award.

Therefore, the unit of the award-winning individual is also a more important concern.

If Chang Haonan can say a few more good words for the school when he delivers his acceptance speech, even if it doesn't bring any intuitive benefits, at least he can leave a good first impression on all the attendees.

"I really didn't expect it before...... When I saw those two black clothes at the entrance of the stairway just now, I thought I had made some mistake...... Surprised"

Chang Haonan pulled the zipper of his schoolbag, touched his chest, which was still a little fast, and replied.

Although there is a little fright in the process, I have to say that the more such fright, the better.

Du Yishan showed a conspiracy to succeed with a smile and patted Chang Haonan on the shoulder:

"Okay, let's think about the acceptance speech when I go back, but the above means that the commendation conference is still based on showing the vitality of your young people, so there is no need to be too serious, is this degree...... It's good to grasp it yourself. ”

Having said that, according to the meeting arrangement, the total time left for their winners to speak is only 20 minutes, which translates into less than 4 minutes for each person, in fact, there is no room to play.

It wasn't until Chang Haonan was sent away that Du Yishan noticed Tang Lintian sitting behind the desk next to him with a sad face.

"Old Don?"

It wasn't until he was called a few times in a row that the latter finally reacted.

"What do you think? I see your eyebrows are all squeezed together. ”

As he spoke, Du Yishan walked to a filing cabinet next to him, and after fumbling for a while, he took out a silver jar from an inconspicuous small compartment in the lower right corner.

It was the baby tea that Tang Lintian took out to entertain Chang Haonan that day.

"I'm thinking, if we continue to develop according to this posture, when Dr. Xiao Chang graduates in two years, what conditions do we have to set in order to keep people ......?"

"Is this...... There's not much I can do. ”

Du Yishan grabbed some tea leaves from each of the two glasses, then picked up the kettle and began to make tea, while admitting very simply that he could not do anything:

"However, as far as Xiao Chang's situation is concerned, I still suggest that you enlarge the pattern a little, his value is not limited to our school at all, if you are willing to stay, it is naturally better, if there is a better platform or place to go, then I think we should also encourage and support."

"Of course I know that, but ...... Alas, I don't know if you have heard some rumors that the above intends to build a number of first-class universities with the world's advanced level near the turn of the century? ”

Du Yishan was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head:

"This is the first time I've heard of it, isn't there already a 211 project?"

As a senior academician, he did not pay special attention to the administrative management of the school, and naturally did not understand this matter that has not yet been announced.

"It's different, this time the specifications are much higher, according to more reliable statements, the current leading schools are Qinghua, Yan University, Fudan, Jiaotong University and Zhejiang University, and may join four or five as the first batch of schools in the future, our Beijing Airlines from the strength and influence, in the current situation, is still a little bit behind them, but if Xiao Chang can decide to stay in school to teach......"

"Wait......"

Du Yishan, who was listening next to him, interrupted Tang Lintian's explanation:

"Forget about the rest, Zhejiang Provincial University...... We don't seem to be too far behind them, aren't they all science and engineering universities? ”

"It's about the same now."

Tang Lintian shook his head helplessly:

"But the application for the merger of the four schools has been approved, and next year, at the latest, you will be able to see the old Zhejiang Provincial University......

Du Yishan had nothing to say.

As someone born in the 20s, he certainly knows the ins and outs of this.

In 1952, Zhejiang Provincial University was divided into five in an extremely tragic college split, in addition to being divided into four single-discipline universities, it also split the mathematics major that was originally the trump card to Fudan, and the loss was second only to Jinling University next door.

And if the current four schools can really be combined, then the competitiveness is naturally undoubted.

But thinking of this, a strange thought suddenly popped up in Du Yishan's mind:

For this new first-class university project, Zhejiang Provincial University merged its own three separate schools.

On the side of Jinghang, the first way that came to mind was to leave Chang Haonan as a teacher......

"So in other words, the value of Xiao Chang alone is about equal to Zhejiang Agricultural University, Zhejiang Medical University and Hangcheng University combined?"

"This ...... I didn't say that. ”

Tang Lintian said and picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of tea.

"This taste ......"

At this time, he saw that Du Yishan's hand was holding a very hidden tin can that he thought he was hiding, and his eyes instantly widened:

"Xiao Chang even told you where I put the tea?"

"Don't put a black pot on someone's head."

Du Yishan skillfully put the tea cans back in place:

"I can't wait for the whole academy to know about this place, it's just that others don't dare to take it casually."

……

The next night, a special car took Chang Haonan directly from Beijing Airlines to the City Hall.

In his previous life, he had been here many times.

In fact, this place can be rented for a fee when there are no major events, and many halls are open to the public.

But this time, when I was invited as a winner, it felt completely different.

The person in charge of receiving Chang Haonan is a female staff member named Hu Shanshan, about 30 years old, with short hair, very capable.

After getting to know each other briefly, Hu Shanshan took Chang Haonan to the backstage of the 10,000-person auditorium.

And the first thing after arriving at the scene turned out to be ......

Makeup.

No way, in terms of the brightness of the stage spotlights, the effect of going on stage without makeup in videos and photos is similar to that of black people......

Just when Chang Haonan was helplessly putting up with the makeup artist to apply some strange things to his face, Hu Shanshan's voice came from his ears again:

"If you need to, we can type your acceptance speech on the teleprompter, but you'll have to give us the manuscript in advance."

However, this is the first time Chang Haonan has faced this kind of formation, and he didn't expect a teleprompter at all, so he didn't bring a manuscript at all.

"Forget it, it's only six or seven hundred words, I can remember, the total time you arranged to speak is only three and a half minutes, and you can't talk about too many things."

No wonder the two men yesterday asked him to arrive two hours early.

The makeup process alone took almost an hour.

Chang Haonan felt that his whole face had become a lot heavier, and he didn't even dare to make too big an expression, and finally slowly adapted to the feeling of wearing makeup under the guidance of Hu Shanshan.

After getting the costumes done and getting familiar with the whole process of the ceremony, it's time for the official opening.

Two hosts, a man and a woman, took the stage to announce the start of the award ceremony.

For Chang Haonan, this is also a childhood memory come true.

By the time he was reborn, one of those two men had long since died, and the other had also retired, only appearing once a year when he moved China.

Since it was the first award, after introducing the leaders present, the host also focused on the significance of the establishment of the Chinese Youth May Fourth Medal.

"The purpose of setting up the "May Fourth Medal for Chinese Youth" series of awards is to establish and publicize the advanced models of contemporary youth, guide and encourage the vast number of young people to actively participate in reform, opening up and socialist modernization, and make contributions and healthy ......growth in the great practice of achieving new progress and new victories in the "three-step" development strategy of modernization."

"Now I would like to announce the list of winners of the first Chinese Youth May Fourth Medal......"

He gave up his status as a national cadre with a salary of hundreds of yuan, chose to join the army as a college graduate, and became a soldier who only received a few dozen yuan a month, inheriting the tradition of 'good eight companies', and continuing to write a new chapter in the glorious company.

"As a young woman, she held up a piece of the sky for the children in the mountains. From 4 and a half years old to 13-year-olds, I work as both a teacher and a childcare worker from life to study...... The second winner, substitute teacher at Dingping Single Teaching Point in Houhe Township, WFTJZ Autonomous County, Song Fangrong! ”

“…… The third winner, Liu Xiao! ”

“…… The fourth winner, Li Bin! ”

“…… The drill gnaws the rock. The object of work is hard, and the spirit of work must also be hard, which is the spirit of Qingtang Oilfield people and the spirit of Huaxia Oilfield people...... Senior Engineer of Qingtang Petroleum Administration, Qin Wengui! ”

Because Chang Haonan's surname has as many as 11 strokes, he is the last to appear in most ceremonies that do not have a ranking.

He's used to it, and he's better able to hear the five people in front of him backstage.

I have to say, it's all admirable.

For example, in front of him is Qin Wengui, who is on the field.

When Chang Haonan first saw this white-haired man who looked about the same age as Du Yishan, he thought that there was something wrong with his definition of "youth".

Later, it took a long time for the makeup artist to dye his hair black to look younger.

As a result, I later learned from other people's deeds that the other party was just 38 years old this year.

It is enough to see the difficult working conditions of the oilmen on the Gobi Desert.

And after reading out Qin Wengui's deeds, it was naturally Chang Haonan's turn.

He thought that if he was already mentally prepared, he should be able to face all this calmly today.

But when the hostess's solemn voice sounded, Chang Haonan still involuntarily pulled the tie around his neck-

The rapid breathing made him feel a little deprived of oxygen.

"Next, we are the youngest of our awardees."

"The airplane has changed the whole world, and he is determined to change the airplane, with young hands and minds, to the Chinese plane with the wings of China, one day, your name will be made in China together with the tracks made in China, flying all over the seven continents and four oceans......

"Let's welcome the sixth winner, Chang Haonan, a student of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics!"
