Director Ma was curious when he saw Professor Wu smiling but not saying a word.
"Professor Wu, everyone is praising your students, don't you want to say anything?"
Professor Wu smiled calmly. "Director Ma, it's not that I don't want to speak up, the key question is whether speaking up will solve the problem?"
"Oh! Tell me what it is. If your suggestion is reasonable, I will definitely help you solve it as soon as possible."
The other experts also stopped their discussion at this point, wanting to hear what Professor Wu had to say.
"Director Ma, Zheng Guo is my student. As the saying goes, one should not avoid recommending the virtuous even if they are relatives. He was able to find many shortcomings based on just two drawings. What if it were the whole set of drawings?"
The experts' eyes lit up when they heard Professor Wu's words.
Yes! He only needed to say a few words to two blueprints to bring about earth-shattering changes. If it were the entire set of blueprints, it's unimaginable...
At this moment, not only the experts, but even Director Ma was tempted.
"Professor Wu, I think your suggestion is very good. Well, I can't give you an answer for now. I'll go back and report to the General Armaments Department, and the higher-ups will make the decision."
Professor Wu nodded. He was just saying it casually, and he couldn't control whether it would work out or not.
But when the others heard this, their minds started to wander, especially Engineer Wan's.
"Director Ma, do you mean to add Director Sun to the expert group?"
"Uh...?" Director Ma was completely speechless.
Sun Zhengguo has a higher administrative rank than him and is always busy with his own affairs. Why did you come here to help out?
However, Director Ma didn't discourage anyone. He just gave a few perfunctory words and then told everyone to go back and rest.
...
Several days have passed in the blink of an eye. Sun Zhengguo has been busy with the blueprints these past few days. He now has a clear idea and is working on the drawings.
However, he didn't go to work today; instead, he took half a day off because he was going to Tsinghua University to attend the opening ceremony.
Around 8 a.m., Sun Zhengguo arrived near the university by car. To show respect, he did not allow the car to enter the campus directly.
"Zheng Nan, find a place to park nearby, I'll walk in."
"Okay!"
Sun Zhengnan quickly found a place to park the car, and when he saw his older brother about to leave, he quickly called him back.
"Big brother, if you go to school, what am I supposed to do?"
Sun Zhengguo, who was about to get off the bus, suddenly stopped, glanced at his cousin, and asked with a smile.
"So, you have an idea? Are you ready to go in and say a few words?"
"Hehehe!" Sun Zhengnan laughed awkwardly. "Brother, don't joke around. I don't have that kind of expertise. I'm just curious about what university life is like."
Hearing his cousin say this, Sun Zhengguo knew that he simply wanted to go in and take a look.
After all, who doesn't dream of going to university?
"Let's go! Follow me inside, but I'm warning you beforehand, this is a school, not a research institute, so don't say anything out of line once we're inside."
"Okay, I understand, thank you, brother. I promise I won't embarrass you."
Sun Zhengnan was very happy, so he got out of the car, locked the door, and the two walked towards the school together.
After passing through the archway, Sun Zhengguo noticed that his cousin found everything fascinating, so he would occasionally explain the school's history to him, making the trip worthwhile.
Before long, the two encountered the school leaders who were there to greet the guests. However, Sun Zhengguo did not recognize them. After the leaders had seen the invitation, they were very polite.
After some polite exchanges, the school leaders arranged for students to take the person to the auditorium.
As for Sun Zhengnan not having an invitation? The school leaders didn't stop him either; he assumed it was a secretary or a security guard.
Thus, Sun Zhengnan brazenly sneaked into the opening ceremony auditorium, much to the boy's delight.
"Big brother, I can also go in and participate in the ceremony. Where do you think I should sit?"
Seeing his cousin's excitement, Sun Zhengguo's playful side was aroused.
"How about I ask the school leaders to arrange for you to sit at the front desk, and then you can say a few words?"
"Ah! I think we should forget about it!"
Sun Zhengnan followed behind with a sullen face, like a wronged little wife, without saying a word.
Soon, they arrived at the Great Hall, a landmark building of Tsinghua University. Sun Zhengnan said he had learned a lot.
Just for the sake of this grand auditorium today, his trip wasn't in vain, and he can brag about it for days to come back.
Upon entering the auditorium, one finds it already quite crowded. Occasionally, one bumps into an acquaintance, and everyone greets each other warmly.
Sun Zhengguo, as one of the best students, was fortunate enough to be seated in the front row.
Sun Zhengnan happened to see Chen Lianshan and Zheng Wenhua, whose seats were a little further back, so he mingled into their group.
At 9:00 a.m. sharp, the auditorium, which can accommodate 1,200 people, was packed to capacity, and the opening ceremony officially began.
Because the school reopened after more than ten years, the higher authorities attached great importance to it, and the ceremony was very grand.
At this time, not only were all the leaders of the Ministry of Education present, but even a vice president from a certain college came, who was an old acquaintance of Sun Zhengguo.
The ceremony was divided into several stages, including speeches by leaders and talent shows.
Then another freshman representative went on stage to speak. Sun Zhengguo never expected that his son would become the freshman representative and give a speech.
Sun Zhengnan, who was sitting in the audience watching the excitement, clapped his hands excitedly when he saw his nephew go on stage.
After Sun Shujie finished speaking, the host on stage spoke again.
"Respected leaders, guests, and students, as we all know, the glory of a school cannot be separated from everyone's joint efforts. Today, many new students have come here, but we must not forget those senior students who have also made silent contributions."
The person I'm about to talk about is one of the most outstanding graduates of our school. During his time at our school, he united with his classmates, respected his teachers, studied hard, worked diligently, and was devoted to the mechanical industry.
He participated in numerous machine modification projects, achieving great success. After graduation, he personally led the research and development of various machine tools, rolling mills, engines, steam generators, and more, making indelible contributions to my country's machinery industry.
When the host got to this point, Son Jung-guk's lips curled up slightly.
The person the host was referring to was now clearly there, and it seemed like no one else could compare.
Sure enough, the next second, the host said loudly.
"He is Sun Zhengguo, a recipient of numerous awards including the National Science and Technology Progress Award, the May 1st Labor Medal, the National Moral Model Award, and the Advanced Individual Model Award."
At the same time, he was also an outstanding member of the Communist Party, a national first-class engineer, a senior researcher, the director of the Mechanical Research Institute, and the chief engineer of the Beijing No. 1 Machine Tool Plant.
Now, please welcome Comrade Sun Zhengguo to the stage to speak with warm applause.
"Clap clap clap!"
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Those in the audience who know Sun Zhengguo know that the host's long speech was not an exaggeration, and in some parts it was even incomplete.
Those who didn't know Sun Zhengguo were full of amazement.
The term "cheating" isn't popular yet; if it were, people would definitely be shouting about it.
It's confirmed, this person must have been cheating.
