The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Houhai Park.

The weather in Yanjing in April was just right. After dinner, Su Jin, Yang Zhilan, and Shen Juan took Asu for a walk in the park.

Shen Juan led Ah Su in front, while Su Jin and Yang Zhilan followed behind. Yang Zhilan was still indignant. She had been angry ever since she found out that her son-in-law and daughter had donated two million.

"I understand Zhiyuan's desire to improve himself, but there's no need to put his own money into the public treasury, right? I've never heard of someone having to pay for work."

Su Jin stared at Ah Su, who was running and jumping energetically in front of him, with a smile in his eyes. He didn't even glance at his mother. "Mom, Zhiyuan and I have enough money. We can't spend it all in a lifetime. Donating some of it won't affect our lives. What's more, this is Zhiyuan's wish. I should support him."

Yang Zhilan poked her daughter's forehead in frustration, "You, when will you be more careful? That's two million, not two hundred yuan. If you want to donate it, just donate it. If you have that money, why don't you give it to your mother?"

"Mom, don't you and my dad have enough money? Besides, with Zhiyuan here, why should I be so cunning?" Su Jin still looked calm and peaceful, a happy little woman.

Yang Zhilan was so angry that she could only give up and muttered, "Forget it, forget it. If this money can really help Zhiyuan make further progress, it will be worth it."

Three days later, a grand thank-you ceremony for the lithography machine fund donation was held in the auditorium of the Ministry of Information Industry.

Under the operation of Minister Wu, both Beijing media and central media sent heavyweight interview teams.

Representatives from the companies that donated money all came, all wearing big red flowers on their chests, standing in the center of the stage, receiving thunderous applause. The only person absent was Su Jin. Minister Wu had called Su Jin to invite him to attend the meeting, but Su Jin declined. "Thank you, Minister Wu, but Zhiyuan said that this is what we should do, and we shouldn't show up at this time."

Minister Wu felt really bad. He donated two million yuan but didn't come out to accept the award. "Comrade Xiao Su, you don't have to listen to Zhiyuan. Our entire department sincerely invites you to attend the meeting. We are all very grateful to you for supporting our country's electronics industry."

But no matter how Minister Wu persuaded him, Su Jin refused to agree.

Sitting in the audience were all the members of the leadership team of the Ministry of Information Industry and the CEOs of the major enterprises under the Ministry. Senior experts and scholars such as Engineer Xue, Director Han, and Professor Qi were invited to sit in the front row. Wu Dingguo was also invited to attend the meeting and sat in the center, with Lin Zhiyuan and Minister Wu sitting on his left and right.

Wu Dingguo looked at Lin Zhiyuan with a smile, "Zhiyuan, this is really rare. I didn't expect you to accomplish what you wanted to do in such a short time."

The reason why Wu Dingguo decided to recruit Lin Zhiyuan into the large-scale working committee was because Lin Zhiyuan mentioned two things in his report, one was rare earths and the other was photolithography machines.

Lin Zhiyuan reported to the large-scale working committee at the end of September, and it has been just over half a year now.

In such a short period of time, he promoted the integration and restructuring of the two major rare earth enterprises, and at the same time launched the lithography machine project that he had been thinking about. This speed is indeed commendable, but Wu Dingguo knows how much Lin Zhiyuan has paid for this. Although Wu Dingguo rarely goes to large-scale work committees, he knows everything Lin Zhiyuan has done.

Facing Wu Dingguo's praise, Lin Zhiyuan remained calm and said, "Secretary Wu, this is just the first step in a long journey. The next work is the most important."

Wu Dingguo laughed and said, "With so many old and new comrades willing to participate in the lithography machine project, I believe victory will eventually belong to us."

"Of course, we will definitely win." Lin Zhiyuan straightened his chest.

Wu Dingguo said jokingly, "Zhiyuan, I heard that you and your wife donated 2 million to the fund. Xiao Su didn't blame you, did she? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but why didn't you let Xiao Su attend today's donation ceremony? If she came, I would personally present the award to her."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled embarrassedly, "Secretary Wu, you also know that my wife and I are not short of money. Money should be spent wisely. It's not that I don't want her to come, but she doesn't want to show up in public. But if she knew that Secretary Wu was willing to present the award to her, she would definitely be very happy."

Wu Dingguo smiled mysteriously and said nothing more. Minister Wu, who was sitting on his right, had the same expression.

Director Han, Director Liu, Professor Qi and other veteran scientists who worked on the research and development of lithography machines back then were all in tears as they looked at the representatives receiving awards on the stage.

Director Han looked at the gray-haired old friends around him and said in a deep voice: "My fellow brothers, so many companies have donated money for lithography machines. We have to work harder. Let's work together to make our own lithography machines."

Several old men nodded together. Although they didn't talk much, they were all determined. The conditions were so good now. The initial start-up funds were available. The Ministry of Information Industry had contacted the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Optical Research Institute in Changchun, and several top domestic universities. Now Secretary Wu had also come forward to support the lithography machine project. It was heard that the lithography machine project had been listed as a national key scientific research project. Now everything was ready. It was up to these old guys to shine.

In the auditorium, the majestic "Athletes' March" echoed, and a blazing flame was burning in everyone's heart.

The leaders seated in the audience stood up one by one to present awards to the representatives on the stage.

Jinye Real Estate donated three million this time, tied for first place with Gegang Investment Company. Diao Jian, as the representative of Jinye Real Estate, stood in the middle position, and the award was presented to him by Minister Wu.

Minister Wu personally presented him with a big red certificate. When shaking hands, Minister Wu smiled and said, "Mr. Diao, thank you for supporting our country's electronics industry. I hope you can participate in more projects related to the ministry in the future."

Diao Jian was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic. He certainly knew what it meant to hear these words from the minister.

He was originally not very happy about Jinye Real Estate donating 3 million, but since both General Manager Yao and General Manager Yue nodded, he could only suppress his complaints. However, after hearing what Minister Wu said, he understood everything.

Three million is nothing. Compared with the subsequent auctions of subordinate enterprises, this money is just a stepping stone.

Worth, so worth it!

After the award ceremony, the Ministry of Information Industry hosted a banquet to entertain representatives of the companies that donated money, and everyone drank a lot of wine.

These companies that donated money came for Lin Zhiyuan, so Lin Zhiyuan naturally had to drink a lot. In the afternoon, Zhou Bosi sent him back to the Houhai courtyard, and Lin Zhiyuan had a good sleep for the afternoon.

At around four o'clock in the evening, Su Jin picked up Ah Su from kindergarten. It was rare for Ah Su to see his father come home so early, so he pestered Lin Zhiyuan to play with him.

Lin Zhiyuan played a few games with his daughter in the yard. The two were having a great time when the phone rang. Lin Zhiyuan looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Wu Dingguo's secretary Hu Guangyu. He quickly answered the phone, "Hello, Director Hu!"

"Zhiyuan, where is your home? I am accompanying Secretary Wu. Minister Wu has already arrived at the entrance of the alley. Secretary Wu wants to come and see your home..."
