Chapter 291 Invites her to be the chief designer!
"It's not what you think, don't worry."
Seeing that her brows were furrowed again, Huo Tingzhou reached out and smoothed them.
"This training camp is mainly for the all-army competition in October. The training is also being conducted at the base on the island, which is very safe."
"A family martial arts competition?"
Jiang Si's eyes widened in surprise. "Is it the kind I saw in the newspaper?"
It is said that each military region must send representative troops to participate in the grand competition.
From infantry to navy, air force, special forces, and militia.
Almost all types of troops will participate.
"Yes, that's the kind." Huo Tingzhou nodded affirmatively. "This year's grand martial arts competition will be held in Beijing."
Upon hearing that the event would be held in Beijing, Jiang Si immediately perked up, "Can family members attend the games?"
Huo Tingzhou said, "Of course."
"That's great!" Jiang Si said, unable to hide her excitement. "Then I'll bring Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao to cheer you on!"
Come to think of it, she had never actually seen him fly a fighter jet.
"good."
Seeing her excited expression, Huo Tingzhou's heart softened instantly.
With everything out in the open, both sides felt much more at ease.
After a thoroughly enjoyable workout, Jiang Si fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Huo Tingzhou drove her to the Ministry of Construction.
When I arrived, the conference room was already quite full of people, including Professor Li and Vice Minister Xu, whom I had met before.
All the other leaders from the construction department and the core members of the project team were present.
Professor Li spent a considerable amount of time just introducing the people present.
After everyone had greeted each other and taken their seats, Professor Li got straight to the point.
Just as Jiang Si had guessed, the Ministry of Construction thoroughly investigated the whole story of the theft of the design drawings.
After careful study and discussion, it was finally decided to formally invite her to serve as the chief designer of the project.
In fact, before this decision was made, the project team and relevant leaders of the construction department were under great pressure and questioning.
The reason is simple: Jiang Si is just too young.
Moreover, her public resume in the field of architecture is practically a blank slate.
All that can be found so far is her amazing talent for painting.
And her mentor was Professor Yu Baien, the deputy chief engineer of the First Research Institute of the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry.
Then came some scattered news.
It is said that she only became interested in architectural design when she entered high school.
After that, the Jiang family spent a lot of money to hire several industry leaders as her full-time teachers.
All in all, I studied for three years.
Although her design was the best among all the entries in terms of professionalism, innovation, and attention to detail.
However, she has no notable works to her name.
To put it bluntly, her talent is still only at the stage of 'armchair theorizing'.
Such a huge investment project, which has attracted much attention both at home and abroad, was handed over to a young man with no experience.
The risk is just too great.
But right now, they don't have much time left.
Now we have two options: either trust her abilities and commit to her.
Either replace them immediately and start over.
Because of this matter, the leaders of the construction department held more than ten small meetings.
However, the two sides went back and forth, and neither could convince the other.
In the end, Professor Li overruled the objections and slammed his fist on the table during the meeting.
He asked everyone present, "Among us designers, which one of us didn't start from scratch, from theoretical discussions to practical exercises, step by step?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Professor Li added, "Since we launched this solicitation campaign and promised to be fair and impartial."
"Her design is undoubtedly the best, so this project should be given to her!"
"We cannot let our fear of taking risks discourage talented people and break the rules!"
After saying this, he looked at all the leaders present and made a solemn promise.
"As for subsequent technical control and construction coordination, Dean Gao from the design institute, the entire project team, and I will follow up throughout the process and ensure that no problems arise in this project!"
It was Professor Li's resounding guarantee and insistence that finally convinced everyone, leading the construction department to decide to hand over the project to Jiang Si.
However, in private, a close friend couldn't help but ask Professor Li a question.
"You've only met that girl a few times. Is it worth risking your reputation and energy for her?"
"Besides, she's not your apprentice, so why bother?"
Yes, why bother?
Professor Li had also asked himself this question.
But the moment he asked the question, he already had the answer in his heart.
Patting his old friend on the shoulder, Professor Li said, "You'll understand when you get to our age."
They may fall, but the legacy of our ancestors must not fall.
It's rare to encounter such a bright and talented child. Even though she isn't his student, Professor Li is willing to protect her for a while.
Of course, Professor Li did not mention these details.
As he handed the contract to Jiang Si, he explained the details of the compensation package.
This is actually one of the issues they've been debating for quite some time.
Typically, the salary level for a chief designer is technical level 1-3.
The minimum monthly salary should be 240.5 yuan, but the problem is that Jiang Si is not currently involved in any professional title evaluation.
1970s Technical Staff Salary Table
He only has a high school education.
Although she was an unofficial staff member of the municipal public security system, this did not fall under the technical salary system, so there was really no way to classify her.
After much discussion, the Ministry of Construction offered a compromise.
After Professor Li finished explaining, he said to Jiang Si, "Your salary is temporarily set at 207 yuan, which is the salary for a level four technical worker."
"In addition, there is a monthly job allowance of 20 yuan, and Beijing, as the capital, has an extra regional allowance of 10 yuan."
"By the way, the company provides a nutrition allowance of 10 yuan per month and a housing subsidy of 5 yuan per month."
All of these combined are roughly equivalent to the salary of a level three technical technician.
After saying all that, Professor Li went on to mention some other benefits.
For example, during the period of employment, hospital expenses will be fully reimbursed.
The company will also provide Jiang Si with an assistant to handle errands, organize drawings, and other tasks.
If you need to travel, you can apply for a car from your employer at any time.
In addition to these, there are some hidden benefits, such as the chief designer receiving the title of advanced worker and a third-class merit award after the project is completed.
There is also the possibility of being invited to attend the National Day celebrations, etc.
Jiang Si didn't have much of an opinion about the salary and benefits; in fact, it exceeded her expectations.
She had reviewed the contract and there weren't any major problems.
Jiang Si asked the question that concerned her most, "Do I need to come to work every day?"
"Need not."
Professor Li said, "There is a regular meeting every Monday morning at nine o'clock, and you must attend it."
"For the remaining days, you will need to check on the construction site every other day. If there are any emergencies, someone will contact you."
Jiang Si was quite pleased to learn that she wouldn't have to come to work every day.
After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Around when will this project start?"
"Work must begin by mid-March at the latest."
After Professor Li finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Si and said, "However, the specific month of commencement depends on your situation."
"..."
Jiang Si was taken aback. "Looking at me?"
Shouldn't we check the weather?
It was at this moment that she realized that Professor Li and several other leaders were present.
The look in their eyes as they looked at him clearly carried a hint of urgency—
