He looked at Jiang Si with an open and honest gaze and said, "My choice of you was based not only on organizational considerations, but most importantly, I saw your talent and inspiration in painting and design."
So that's how it is, Jiang Si understands now.
Yu Baien's visit today was clearly not just his personal decision; it also had organizational significance.
Regarding safety, he also made a solemn promise to the young couple.
One reason is the organization's emphasis on ensuring the safety of researchers.
On the other hand, he did not shy away from the fact that the Huo family was part of the reason.
Jiang Si could easily understand this.
Those lurking in the shadows only aim to sabotage or hinder China's scientific research progress, but no one would be foolish enough to target the family of the top military leader in China.
Yu Baien's words dispelled Huo Tingzhou's last remaining concerns.
Jiang Si had no time to hesitate. In early April, she officially joined the Seventh Department as the leader of the First Design Group of the Overall Design Department.
Of course, the mentor and apprentice had already reached a consensus before the appointment was issued.
After completing the onboarding procedures that day, Yu Baien took Jiang Si to her design team to help her familiarize herself with the environment.
The overall design department has four groups, with the first group having the most members and taking over projects from their first research institute.
"That's all for today," Yu Baien said to Jiang Si. "I'll tell you more about the main projects the team is responsible for in a couple of days after you officially start working."
In fact, his initial intention was to have Jiang Si join the First Research Institute as the assistant to the deputy chief engineer.
But after thinking about it, he decided to let Jiang Si go to the grassroots design team to gain experience first.
After all, the assistant to the deputy chief engineer is at the division chief level, and to get to that position, one must have at least a college degree.
Forcing her into this position might not be a good thing for her.
Jiang Si didn't have much of an opinion about this.
The work in the design team is related to her major, which she thinks is great.
However, when his teacher's wife, Fang Wenjun, learned of this news, she was somewhat puzzled.
Seeing this, Yu Baien explained, "I know you feel that she has been wronged, but giving her the experience in the design team for the past two years is actually a good thing for her."
"It's better to wait until the time is right and make real achievements before being promoted than to put yourself in a difficult position like this."
Fang Wenjun understood what he meant; academic qualifications have always been a hard requirement for promotion.
This child has no shortage of ability, character, or background; the only thing lacking is education.
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to let her study at Tsinghua University for two years first."
Yu Baien also thought about it, but the problem is that Tsinghua University is no longer the Tsinghua University it used to be.
He sighed, "This year our unit did assign a few worker-peasant-soldier students from Tsinghua University and Peking University, but they don't know anything."
"Upon inquiry, it was discovered that the university hadn't taught them anything in the past two years. In the end, we had no choice but to assign them to the logistics department."
He was embarrassed to say that he could learn a lot of real knowledge at such a university.
Fang Wenjun sighed upon hearing this, "I wonder when universities will be able to teach and nurture students properly like before."
"It should be soon," Yu Baien said. "For a country to develop, it cannot do without talent, and it cannot do without education. It won't stay in chaos forever."
At that moment, he was just trying his best to comfort his wife.
Unexpectedly, her prediction came true. One day at the end of April, a major news item was suddenly published in the newspaper—
