Chapter 478 The National Task
Under normal circumstances, the highest-ranking guest at the opening ceremony of BGI’s Junior Excellence Class is the dean of BGI.
If there are no special circumstances in the second year, even the teaching director He Jimin, the principal of New Taipei Middle School Lu Qinghe and a group of teachers will participate.
This was indeed the arrangement before Li Yan agreed to attend the meeting.
But after Li Yan confirmed that he would attend, Wang Peihua had already spent three meals trying to get a chance to attend.
Cai Zhendong, the vice president of Huada, an old acquaintance, came, the boss of Linjiang Education Department came, and Ren Jiangfeng, the deputy mayor of New Taipei City, also came.
Although they are all relatively familiar names, the Lao Cai of today is not the Lao Cai of yesterday.
He will take over as president of BGI in three months.
So his arrival is equivalent to the visit of the president of Huada University in person, and the standard is not high.
Everyone is the same person, and the circle is still the same, but obviously everyone's attitude towards Cai Zhendong's arrival is very different.
He Jimin originally wanted to emphasize to Li Yan the importance of Principal Cai's presence, but was criticized by Lao Cai.
"We are here because of him. He is the protagonist. Now you are talking about me with him. What, putting pressure on Li Yan?"
He Jimin could only apologize.
The night before the opening ceremony, Cai Zhendong became the center of attention among the leaders.
There is no way. As the top university in China, BGI has a very high-level position as president.
Cai Zhendong is still young, and he still has the possibility of moving up after taking over as the principal. Today he still has the opportunity to sit together at the opening ceremony of BGI's outstanding junior class, but it may not be easy to meet him tomorrow.
“The overall strength of this year’s newly recruited students is actually better than the previous one.” Cai Zhendong said, “But without someone like Li Yan, the proportion in Jiangnan Province is also very high. In theory, It’s Jiangnan Province’s turn to take over. Do you know why it is still set up in New Taipei Middle School?”
Everyone looked at Lu Qinghe with a smile, and School Lu waved his hands quickly, “That’s for sure. It’s not because of my face, it can only be because of Li Yan.”
“Yes, it’s because of Li Yan.” Principal Cai couldn’t help but smile when he mentioned the name, “Just for the sake of a new student. Li Yanyao, there is nothing to say on the other side of Jiangnan."
"College Cai," He Jimin asked, "Is this what you mean?"
"What I mean? If I can be the principal, discover Li Yan and include her in the BGI Class of Excellence, the impact factor is not small."
Everyone smiled knowingly.
A leadership appointment at this level is not based on merit. For Cai Zhendong to sit in this position, I am afraid it was decided two years ago.
Now Captain Cai says this...
“You think I’m joking, right?”
...otherwise?
Almost everyone didn't react and looked confused.
Wang Peihua, in particular, had early contact with Li Yan. As Li Yan grew up, his influence increased dramatically. For him, the contrast was the strongest.
How could an outstanding kid who performed in front of him become so awesome now?
"This is the main purpose of my coming." Cai Zhendong looked serious and fierce, "I have to speak out and emphasize one thing to you."
Lu Qinghe was very nervous. As the smallest person present, he felt that there was an unbearable weight on his shoulders.
“Everyone must improve your political stance, attach great importance to it, and regard ‘retaining Li Yan’ as a political task.”
Lu Qinghe was dumbfounded.
As a high school principal, have you ever heard of a leader of this level making such serious demands face to face?
Except Director Zhuang of the Linjiang Education Department, everyone else was surprised.
"College Cai, does this need to be at this level?" Ren Jiangfeng was also shocked.
"Mayor Ren, you are not with the education line. Ask Lao Zhuang, he knows better."
Tang Zhuang was not very talkative, so he just nodded in a serious manner.
"Why are you so surprised?" Cai Zhendong is still very straightforward, "You should know the value of Li Yan very well, right?"
Ren Jiangfeng nodded, "Of course I understand, it's just that I didn’t expect that the higher-ups understood it so well.”
"You look down on people, you are the mayor." Cai Zhendong smiled.
"No, it's an expression of emotion, a kind of emotion." Ren Jiangfeng quickly made up for it.
As the quasi-president of Huada, the information Cai Zhendong has access to is certainly one level higher than others, which is also a major source of his deterrence.
At today’s meeting, Cai Zhendong represents the central government.
And he came here to send a mission.
"We are really lucky to have such a talented person in Linjiang." Principal Lu eased the atmosphere.
"The smart guy from School Lu has analyzed it clearly now and feels relaxed." Cai Zhendong put it bluntly.
Everyone smiled knowingly again.
Lu Qinghe didn’t say anything and acquiesced.
Of course he is relaxed. The heavier Cai Zhendong’s task is, the less it actually has to do with New Taipei Middle School.
At Li Yan's current level, to put it bluntly, he has not been a "student" for a long time. In addition to providing a place for school, his New Taipei Middle School has nothing to do with Li Yan.
Even if New Taipei Middle School wants to give Li Yan some special care and benefits, will they take it seriously?
A big boss with a net worth of tens of billions, a person who can enter and exit the database of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at will, his New Taipei Middle School cannot provide anything of value at all.
So in the final analysis, the pressure lies on BGI, New Taipei City and even Linjiang.
The boss of the provincial and municipal education systems is here, and the government representative, Mayor Ren, is also here. What they think is important, and it is not New Taipei Middle School’s turn to say anything.
"To be honest, Principal Cai," He Jimin is also a representative of BGI. Naturally, he feels the pressure. Moreover, he is also a direct contact of Cai Zhendong. It is most appropriate for him to raise the question. "When you said to keep Li Yan, you mean to keep Li Yan." Where?”
“Of course I will stay in China.”
It is indeed a level that needs to be looked up to, Lu Qinghe became even more relaxed.
"Is there something going on?" Mr. Zhuang rarely spoke. It seemed that at this point, he had no access to information. "No, take precautions before they happen." Colonel Cai said, "In the opinion of the higher authorities, Li Yan is a talent that must be retained, with unlimited potential. He is not discussed at all abroad. As far as we know, there is still no discussion about him for the time being. There are few people to contact him, but he will choose to go abroad to pursue a more powerful scientific research environment in the future... After all, the fact that he can think of the lithography machine so early also shows that he has realized the limitations of the environment. "
"Going to study abroad," He Jimin asked, "isn't it a bad idea? Why are you regarded as a scourge?"
Cai Zhendong frowned, "Jimin, you are naive, you are naive!"
He Jimin Not annoyed, just embarrassed and smiled.
“If a talent of this level has gone out, do you want someone to bring him back?” Cai Zhendong shook his head, “We talked with Li Yan’s class teacher at New Taipei No. 1 Middle School - it’s interesting to say, Li Yan had a lot of heart-to-heart conversations with Guo Qiwen back then, but now It has become an important window for us to understand Li Yan. Although Li Yan is also patriotic, he is more willful and egoistic. His greatest pursuit is to become the 'top of mankind'."
" ...The top?" Zhuang Ting was shocked by these four words.
He wanted to say that the child was very middle-class, but he didn't dare to say it.
“This is a very high-level ideal, and we cannot bet on his tendency to ‘unconditionally contribute’.” Cai Zhendong said, “Therefore, the resources that should be given must be given, and the sincerity must be given. Within our scope of authority, we shouldn’t try to satisfy him, but at least we can’t make him unhappy.”
“College Cai, I’m just going to give you my personal opinion. If it’s wrong, you’ll take it for granted. I farted." He Jimin said, "Li Yan is very powerful, but after all, he has not made any great scientific research achievements. There are so many big names in the country, but it is not necessarily taken seriously to this extent..."
"Don't take Li Yan seriously. As a young man who can make money, you should know very well what he has done. Are you also numb by the various miracles he has created?"
Cai Zhendong stared at He Jimin.
"Uh..."
"This kid is only sixteen years old!" Cai Zhendong suddenly shouted, "Sixteen years old! Friends, sixteen years old! His growth curve is completely random, no Let's be honest. Just when everyone thought he was 'almost done', he suddenly jumped up again, don't you think? What scientific research results are there? Did you know that he solved the optimal solution to the wall-chasing game just out of interest? How long has he been working on self-developed operating systems in China? It’s hard to tell, but Academician Ni has devoted his whole life to this matter. How long did it take to achieve his goal?”
He Jimin didn’t dare to say anything.
“This kid is not human!” Cai Zhendong was inexplicably excited. “The business empire that future technology is about to create will have more profound significance to the country than you can see! You know Is he ready to go international?"
Only Ren Jiangfeng understood this information, and the others had subtle expressions.
"Look at what he is doing, the lithography machine!" Cai Zhendong waved his hand, "Imagine for yourself, if the Jiaolong mobile phone really goes abroad, the super living circle will really become the way of life for the people of other countries, and it can also How much revenue will this guy bring to our country by solving the problem of lithography machines? How much influence will it give us internationally?”
“Isn’t it a different way to hold the propaganda mouthpiece in our hands? "Ren Jiangfeng reacted.
"We? It's not us, it's Li Yan."
"But Colonel Cai," He Jimin still spoke, "this photolithography machine... you also know the difficulty... "
"Academician Ni, don't you know how difficult it is to develop a self-developed operating system?" Cai Zhendong snorted, "I still say the same thing, don't treat Li Yan as a normal person, this kid may be a gift from God. ”
I went... to reach this level?
"Then... Colonel Cai," Lu Qinghe still wanted to brush up on his presence, "What should we do, keep Li Yan?"
"This is a problem." Cai Zhendong smiled and said, "The first thing is to keep him as a student in the Excellence Class as much as possible, but don't put pressure on him." ."
"How can he think highly of this," He Jimin smiled bitterly, "College Cai, even BGI itself should not be attractive to Li Yan."
"It's still attractive. I'm afraid we will ask him to come to BGI."
"I'm actually quite surprised that he is still willing to come to the opening ceremony." Zhuang Ding said, "You are already a big boss, and you don't lack any learning resources. Why do you still retain this status?"
< br>"This is the point." Cai Zhendong said, "Li Yan himself is still interested in being a student, we must do a good analysis."
Everyone's eyes turned around, and they all focused on Wang Peihua. .
Hey, do I, Lao Wang, have any say in this?
"Old Wang, Li Yan even went to your house for dinner. Can you give me your opinion?" Zhuang Ting said.
Wang Peihua didn't think about it for a while and blurted out, "Maybe it's because of Wei Yunzhi?"
A new angle.
Cai Zhendong was stunned for a while and suddenly laughed out loud, "I really don't regard Li Yan as a human being. I forgot that he is also a sixteen-year-old boy. According to his temperament, he really has Maybe it’s for beauty.”
Wang Peihua also. He thought he was talking too much, but he didn't expect that he got affirmation, so he struck while the iron was hot and added:
"It doesn't make any difference to him whether he is a student or not. It just gives girls a chance to be worthy of their classmates."
"It's interesting." Cai Zhendong nodded, "Old Lu, then you have something to do."
Lu Qinghe's nerves suddenly became tense.
"This girl is a student of New Taipei Middle School. I won't say anything else, but don't let her be wronged."
"Definitely not," Lu Qinghe said with a smile, "Even if we If she doesn't take the initiative, this girl won't suffer any injustice. She is Wei Yili's daughter. "
"Of course I know," Cai Zhendong said, "The more you do this, the less likely you are to take it lightly. If any of you do something that makes the two young people unhappy, do you think Wei Yili can do it? If you settle it, it will be troublesome.”
"As far as I know, Li Yan attaches great importance to things like 'attitude'. He doesn't have to pay every penny, but if his attitude is not good, he will definitely get angry." Wang Peihua said.
“Be careful and don’t make the same mistake as Tan Li of New Taipei No. 1 Middle School.” Zhuang Ting said.
Lu Qinghe was under a lot of pressure and could only keep coping.
"Speaking of which, Lao Zhuang, you are also trying hard to use Li Yan for publicity in Lincheng." Cai Zhendong said, "Yucai should be more sensible and accept the publicity. Their education system is too courageous. I've had some trouble with Li Yan before, but don't let this get fermented."
"Understood, I will hold a meeting with the team to study it tomorrow."
"Now, without further ado."
Wang Peihua was dumbfounded, and subconsciously muttered: "No way..."
The result was actually heard by Cai Zhendong, who directly Knocked on the table, "Everyone! Let me reiterate Once again, it is a national task to take this matter seriously! Today I will meet with you first, and there will be a higher-level working meeting on this matter later.”
“We need to pay attention to overcorrection. Question?" He Jimin asked.
“Just give me a hard push and it’ll be over. I have a net worth of tens of billions. Is this too much for you?”
So the next morning, Li Yan specially chose a low-key scooter to arrive at the school gate. As soon as she got off the car, she was stunned by the salutes all over the sky.
In the sky full of colorful films, he saw clearly the large banner hanging at the school gate:
“Welcome Li Yan to attend the opening ceremony of the Youth Excellence Class of Huaxia University!”
Standing at the door were a row of leaders with bright smiles.
