But with the college entrance examination registration deadline fast approaching and Jiang Si still not coming to collect her recommendation letter, Director Chang became increasingly uneasy.
When Jiang Si joined the company, he personally reviewed her personnel file.
An impressive resume and a dazzling array of honors.
Although the family background may not be "pure and upright," this year's recruitment policy clearly stipulates this.
One percent of the exam slots will be allocated to "children who are educated," meaning candidates from ordinary family backgrounds but who demonstrate positive behavior.
With that in mind, Director Chang took the completed letter of recommendation and prepared to deliver it to her personally.
It was quite a coincidence that he saw Jiang Si at the bottom of the stairs as soon as he came downstairs.
"Xiao Jiang, I've been looking for you."
Director Chang stepped forward and handed over the letter of recommendation. "Here, this is your letter of recommendation. Take it and register quickly, or it will be too late in a couple of days."
Jiang Si was stunned when she saw the letter of recommendation handed to her. She hadn't expected that Director Chang had already prepared the letter of recommendation.
Moved by her story, Jiang Si also revealed that she would not be taking the college entrance examination.
"Director Chang, thank you for your kind offer! However, I don't plan to take the college entrance examination this year."
"You're not taking the college entrance exam?" Director Chang was quite surprised.
Jiang Si nodded, without explaining much.
She only said that she had already completed her university courses through self-study, and at this stage she just wanted to focus on her work.
It would be a lie for Director Chang to say he didn't regret it. With Jiang Si's abilities, she would have been promoted within a few years.
It would be such a pity if I were held back by my educational background!
Because of this, Director Chang sighed for a long time at work.
Before he could even recover, the following month after the college entrance examination, the National Daily published a news item on its front page that shocked everyone.
Just as Jiang Si had predicted, the sudden appearance of a candidate with a blank exam paper completely rewrote the rules of this admission process.
Nearly fifty students from the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry participated in this year's college entrance examination.
Everyone prepared carefully for two months, and with the waiting time for admission, it took nearly four months in total.
But in the end, all their efforts were in vain.
If it were simply a matter of being less skilled, they might not feel so frustrated.
However, it wasn't that no one from the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry passed the exam this time; a total of two colleagues from their unit received university admission notices.
Peking University and Renmin University are both top-tier universities in Beijing.
They didn't know the details about the student from Renmin University, but the student admitted to Peking University wasn't feeling well during the exam period.
He didn't even finish the exam paper, and he missed the last one!
When the notification arrived, not only were others stunned, but even the candidate himself was dumbfounded…
The long-awaited college entrance examination has come to an end, but the impact of this event is far-reaching. Many candidates were depressed for a whole year because of failing the exam.
But the wheels of time will not stop turning because of any one person or any one event.
While other groups were fully focused on preparing for the college entrance examination, Jiang Si and her group had been diligently researching.
After more than half a year, they finally completed the isometric drawing of the rocket's third stage body (1:50 scale), the high-precision electromagnetic shielding structure drawing of the radar, the exploded view of the subsystems, the flow field diagram of the wind tunnel test, and the stress-strain cloud diagram, including the transformation of the "aerodynamic drag reduction design" into a three-dimensional perspective view.
Jiang Si also attempted to hand-draw a complete set of mechanical transmission diagrams for the satellite's automatic stabilization structure.
Furthermore, all data errors are controlled within 0.2 millimeters.
Due to her outstanding performance, in early 1974, after signing a top-secret confidentiality agreement, Jiang Si officially joined the design team for the thermal protection of the Dongfeng X intercontinental ballistic missile's reentry atmosphere.
My main responsibilities include drawing ablation material distribution maps and other related tasks.
At the end of the same year, she was promoted to assistant engineer.
He then officially took charge of the standardization of the structural drawings for the "Julang-2" submarine-launched ballistic missile.
