Inside the main room of the Sun family's courtyard house, Sun Zheng'an was discussing matters with Sun Dajiang and his wife.
"Mom and Dad, DouDou will be a month old in a week. Our Sun family hasn't had a lively celebration in a long time. I want to hold a full-month celebration for the baby."
“Okay!” Sun Dajiang agreed without hesitation.
In the past, it was a natural disaster, and even if one had the ability, it was impossible to organize. Now that the harvest is better, he is naturally happy to have some fun.
Lin Wencui, on the other hand, had no objections. Her family was capable of hosting such an event, so there was no need for them to pretend to be poor.
Just then, a teasing voice came from outside the door, "Oh ho! Everyone's discussing important national affairs here!"
Upon hearing the voice, the group knew that Sun Zhengguo had arrived.
The couple then went inside, and Sun Zhengguo, without any ceremony, loudly announced it.
"Mom and Dad, congratulations on becoming grandparents again."
Hearing his son's words, Sun Dajiang was still a little stunned and his reaction was temporarily slow.
But Lin Wencui reacted quickly, immediately stepping forward to grab her daughter-in-law's hand and asking.
"Xiao Wei, are you pregnant again?"
Ning Xiaowei now has two children and is already used to this kind of scene.
Therefore, without blushing or panting, she nodded and admitted to it directly.
"Mom and Dad, we just came from Dr. Hu's place. He has already checked my pulse and confirmed it."
"Great! One after another!" Sun Dajiang, who was a beat slow to react, finally spoke up.
...
After the initial excitement, the group sat down and began chatting. Soon, the conversation turned to the celebration of Zheng'an's son's one-month birthday.
Sun Zhengguo had no objection to this. He didn't hold a full-month celebration for his son because he wanted to be fair, since his eldest son hadn't had one either.
But if his younger brother wants to do it, he won't stop him; as long as everyone's happy.
After chatting for less than twenty minutes, Sun Zhengguo prepared to leave because his grandparents were still waiting for news inside!
...
Two days later, on a vacant lot next to the research institute, a simple platform had been erected, with bright flags planted on all four sides, making it look very festive.
Today marks the groundbreaking ceremony for the antenna division.
Sun Zhengguo arrived early to inspect the ceremony and learn about its contents. Section Chief Cai from the Publicity Department accompanied him throughout the process.
"Director Sun, in addition to the ministry leaders, Deputy Director Yu from the General Office will also be present today. We have also invited Director Li and Deputy Director Liao from the Machinery Factory..."
"Um!"
After listening to Section Chief Cai's report, Sun Zhengguo nodded from time to time, expressing his approval.
"Section Chief Cai, you've worked hard. I think this arrangement is very good, which shows that you've put a lot of effort into your work."
Although Section Chief Cai was pleased to receive Sun Zhengguo's approval, he didn't show it, and his face remained as simple and honest as ever.
"It's all thanks to the leaders' excellent arrangements. We're just running errands; we don't deserve any praise from the leaders."
Look, in this melting pot, no one can escape the common practice. If you do a good job, you can always blame it on the boss; if you do a bad job, you have to take the blame yourself.
After observing the scene and understanding the process, Sun Zhengguo offered a few words of encouragement before returning to the research institute.
Zhang Yucheng also delivered the speech draft at the opportune moment, which will be used during the groundbreaking ceremony later.
Before 9 a.m., we received a notification from the office that all the staff had arrived at the entrance to welcome the leaders.
Because the groundbreaking ceremony was scheduled for a specific time, the leaders from the higher-level departments did not lag behind and arrived quickly within the stipulated time.
Seeing the leaders get out of the car, Sun Zhengguo stretched out his hands and was the first to greet them.
"Minister Li, distinguished leaders, on behalf of all the staff of the institute, I warmly welcome you to visit our work."
"No need to be so polite." After the two shook hands, Minister Li looked at a middle-aged man next to him and said.
"Comrade Zhengguo, let me introduce you. This is Deputy Director Yu from the General Office."
After hearing Minister Li's introduction, Sun Zhengguo dared not be negligent and quickly and enthusiastically extended his hands.
"Hello, Deputy Director Yu, it's nice to meet you for the first time. I didn't recognize you, please forgive me. Welcome to visit our institute."
"Comrade Zhengguo, although this is our first meeting, I've heard so much about you that I'm sick of it, hahaha!"
The two clasped hands tightly, and Deputy Director Yu was very enthusiastic.
Although he rejected the proposal to open a branch factory last time, it doesn't mean he has any personal prejudice against Sun Zhengguo.
On the contrary, he not only had no prejudice against Sun Zhengguo, but also greatly admired him.
After all, at such a young age, to produce so many scientific research achievements, you probably wouldn't find another like him even if you searched the entire country.
After the welcoming ceremony, the group did not enter the research institute, but instead followed Sun Zhengguo to the construction site next door.
On the stage, everyone took their seats according to their name tags. Construction workers and research institute workers were also in place, serving as witnesses to the meeting.
Reporters and publicity staff nearby had already picked up their cameras, found the right angles, and were ready to capture this wonderful moment.
At 9:18 a.m., the groundbreaking ceremony was officially held, and the host, Zhou Weimin, gave the opening speech.
"Respected leaders and dear colleagues, welcome to the groundbreaking ceremony of the antenna factory. First of all, let me introduce the leaders who are attending this ceremony."
Then, representing his superiors, Zhou Weimin first introduced Deputy Director Yu, followed by Minister Li and others…
After introducing each person, the cadre would stand up and wave to the workers below.
Of course, the workers also had their mission, which was to keep clapping.
After introducing the leaders, Zhou Weimin went on to explain the significance of setting up the factory and the goals to be achieved, before finally announcing the official start of the groundbreaking ceremony.
As arranged beforehand, a group of leaders stepped down from the stage and received their equipment.
Led by Minister Li and Deputy Director Yu, each person held a large iron shovel tied with red ribbons, symbolically scooped up a handful of soil, and held a groundbreaking ceremony.
"Boom... Boom... Boom...!"
In an instant, a series of firecrackers went off, and the workers cheered.
After the groundbreaking ceremony, there will be speeches from leaders and guests, group photos, and a tour of the site...
In short, the entire ceremony was very complicated and lasted for more than two hours before it officially ended with the host's announcement.
"Distinguished leaders, we apologize for the hard work you've all had this morning. Please come to the research institute; we have prepared some simple food, and we would be grateful if you would do us the honor of joining us."
Faced with Sun Zhengguo's invitation, Minister Li naturally gave him face, and then he looked at Deputy Director Yu.
“Deputy Director Yu, since Comrade Zheng Guo has sincerely invited us, why don’t we go and show our support?”
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Minister Li, on your turf, I'll follow your arrangements."
"Hahaha! Let's go then."
Since both leaders have agreed, there's no need to ask the rest.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of people headed towards the research institute.
