Back in his office, Sun Zhengguo picked up the two invitations and looked at them.
Just as he expected, one invitation was for Chen Lianshan, and the other was for Zheng Wenhua.
After all, these two are doing quite well now, and the school needs people like them to maintain appearances.
After reading it, Sun Zhengguo casually tossed the invitation back onto the table and started working.
However, not long after, the dedicated phone on the table started ringing.
These kinds of phones don't usually ring, so if they do, it must be something urgent. Without hesitation, Sun Zhengguo quickly picked up the phone.
"Hello!……"
...
Soon it was noon. After lunch, Sun Zhengguo took advantage of the free time, picked up two invitations, and went downstairs to the laboratory.
Zhao Weiping had just finished lunch and was wondering what to do when he saw Sun Zhengguo walk in.
"Director Sun, wanna play some games?"
Sun Zhengguo shook his head after hearing this and replied with a smile, "Engineer Zhao, I don't play games. Could you please gather the teachers from Tsinghua University? I have something to discuss with them."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Zhao Weiping didn't think much of it and started calling for help everywhere.
Before long, all of the dozen or so teachers had arrived. Seeing that none of them were missing, Sun Zhengguo didn't keep them in suspense any longer and spoke directly.
"Dear teachers, Director Wu from Tsinghua University came to see me today. He hopes that you can go back to teaching."
"What?!" The teachers were instantly taken aback.
Although the situation is now clear, they still feel lingering fear when they think back to what happened back then.
"Director Sun, we're doing fine here, we don't want to go back."
"Yes! Director Sun, is it because we did something wrong that you insist on kicking us out?"
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what I have to say."
At this moment, Professor Zhang stepped forward and gestured for everyone to remain calm.
Because he didn't believe Sun Zhenghui would drive them away; there must be another reason.
"Jung-guk, is there something troubling you? Or is there another reason? Would you mind telling me?"
"Professor Zhang, fellow teachers, I really don't want you to leave, but your organizational affiliation is still with the university, so there's nothing I can do."
When the teachers heard this, their eyes suddenly dimmed, and they looked utterly despondent.
Unexpectedly, Sun Zhengguo suddenly changed the subject and continued.
"But don't worry, I've already talked to Director Wu. You only need to attend two classes a week, and you can work at our institute the rest of the time."
"real?"
"That's great."
The teachers began to cheer.
However, the good news didn't end there. Sun Zhengguo then told them that the organization would exonerate them.
In addition, not only will the research institute's salary continue to be paid, but the school's salary will also be paid in full.
Hearing so much good news, a group of cultural figures got completely excited.
Because everyone felt that their persistence had finally paid off.
Seeing how happy the teachers were, Sun Zhengguo didn't disturb them, but instead prepared to go find Chen Lianshan and Zheng Wenhua.
But after searching around, he couldn't find the two people, so Sun Zhengguo went to the small workshop.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the small workshop, Sun Zhengguo saw the two men fiddling with a semi-finished motorcycle.
Speaking of this motorcycle, it was Sun Zhengguo who provided the idea, and the two of them worked together to develop it.
Since motorcycle technology isn't too complicated, the two of them tinkered with it for about half a year and it became quite decent.
"The director is here." The two stopped when they saw Sun Zhengguo.
"I need to speak with you about something. What's this?"
As he spoke, Sun Zhengguo took out invitations from his pocket and handed them to the two men.
"What's this?"
Although the two hesitated for a moment, they still accepted the invitation.
Chen Lianshan glanced at it, but his reaction was indifferent; he didn't take it seriously at all.
After all, he used to be a teacher at a school, but he was never valued at all, so he has seen through the true nature of society.
If you're capable, you'll be an outstanding student representative, and everyone will fawn over you. If you're not capable, then sorry! You'll have to take a break!
But Zheng Wenhua was different; he had never experienced what Chen Lianshan had gone through.
Therefore, he seemed a bit immature, speaking with a face full of excitement.
"Director, is this all true? The school actually invited me to attend the opening ceremony, and as an outstanding student representative. Do you think I should write a speech?"
"Why write an article?" Sun Zhengguo didn't react for a moment.
Then a flash of inspiration struck him, and he understood what Zheng Wenhua meant. He was overjoyed.
"Hahaha! Culture, you're such a clown! What? You're going to go up and speak? You're going to kill me with laughter, hahaha... No, no, let me catch my breath first, hahaha!"
When Zheng Wenhua saw Sun Zhengguo laughing like that, he felt deeply hurt.
Knowing full well that it was impossible, he still shamelessly asked Chen Lianshan, who was standing next to him.
"Old Chen, to be fair, is it really that funny? As an outstanding student representative, isn't it his duty to speak on stage?"
Chen Lianshan looked at the unlucky brat, what could he say?
You can't exactly tell him that if anyone's going to speak, it'll be Sun Zhengguo who does, how could it possibly be your turn?
Seeing that Chen Lianshan remained silent, Zheng Wenhua understood what he meant. To ease the awkwardness, he made an excuse to get something.
After he left, Sun Zhengguo recovered and started talking to Chen Lianshan about the motorcycle.
"Senior Brother Chen, when will this motorcycle be completed?"
"It'll be soon. Give us another two or three months, and I guarantee I'll get this motorcycle."
At this point, Chen Lianshan seemed to realize something and suddenly looked up. "What, do you have another new project?"
“Brother Chen understands me best,” Sun Zhengguo said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Chen, developing this motorcycle was just a trial project for me. Its purpose was to prepare for the development of automobiles and to train workers, nothing more."
After listening to Sun Zhengguo's words, Chen Lianshan seemed to understand but not quite. "Director, do you mean you want me to continue developing cars?"
"No."
Sun Zhengguo waved his hand: "I'll let Lao Chen take charge of the cars. You have more important things to do. I'm going to have you supervise the completion of two new types of machine tools."
"Alright! I'll start working on it whenever you produce the blueprints. Let Wenhua handle the motorcycle project."
Hearing that Chen Lianshan didn't press for details but readily agreed, Sun Zhengguo nodded in satisfaction.
In fact, these two new machine tools were not part of his plans at all.
He did this because of an unexpected situation.
It turned out that the phone call Sun Zhengguo received just before lunch was from Deng Lao.
He said that a certain military industrial unit urgently needed an ultra-precision machine tool and a special large machine tool, and asked him to help find a solution.
Otherwise, this secret project might not be able to proceed.
As is well known, Sun Zhengguo started his business in machine tools, and in the machine tool industry, if he considers himself second, no one would dare to claim first place.
Therefore, upon learning of this situation, he agreed without hesitation.
However, Sun Zhengguo did not rule out the possibility of failure, only stating that he would do his best to complete the task.
