In the study in the east wing, the double-row bookcases against the wall are densely packed with all kinds of magazines and books, and there are several piles of yellowed newspapers on the kang.
The large desk was covered with piles of manuscript paper and rulers. A black and a blue ink bottle were isolated in a corner. Judging from the bottles, there was not much water left.
Zhang Guoqing pushed the door open, then suddenly remembered that it had been blocked by his wife since the day before yesterday. He shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, and walked around to the bedroom to enter.
Zhou Jiao was standing in front of the bookshelf with her lips pursed and a frown on her face. She lowered her head and quickly flipped through the English magazine in her hand. She was completely unaware that there was another person entering the room.
Zhang Guoqing tiptoed to the table, picked up the waste paper thrown outside the trash can, and unscrewed the idle pen on the table and filled it with ink.
After wiping his hands clean, he picked up the manuscript and flipped through it page by page, glancing briefly at any foreign language besides English. The more he read the manuscript, the more he frowned.
Zhou Jiao quickly finished flipping through the bookshelf, stuffed them into the shelf, and ran her fingers along the rows of books, taking out half of them again...
When she found the information she wanted, she turned around and was shocked to see Zhang Guoqing holding the manuscript paper, shaking his head with a look of disapproval on his face.
"Are you planning to try your hand at every profession? Human energy is limited, and it's impossible to be comprehensive. You need to rest well now that you're healthy."
Zhou Jiao blinked her eyes, feeling a little confused that something was wrong with what she said. She picked up the kettle on the stove, poured a cup of boiling water into it, and covered her hand with it, intending to refresh herself first.
Seeing this, Zhang Guoqing shook his head. "Wealth shouldn't be flaunted, and neither should talent. Wait a little longer; the time isn't right. If you really want to research something, try to break through in the development and research of power distribution system reliability. Firstly, it's in line with your major, and secondly, you can show off your skills without being conspicuous. It's also a summary of everything you've learned in college these past few years."
After saying this, he pointed to several manuscripts gathered on the desk and said, "There's a lot of room for research in this area. For a country to develop, its industry and agriculture cannot be separated from a complete power grid system."
I remember when I was in college, my professor mentioned that in the mid-1960s, power system stability issues in developed countries abroad caused widespread blackouts and caused a great deal of shock. It was during this period that reliability management and technology began to be incorporated into power systems, gradually developing into an applied discipline and becoming a key means for the power industry to achieve significant economic benefits.
Zhou Jiao did understand what power system reliability was. It was an applied science that combined the general principles and methods of reliability engineering with power system engineering issues.
Power system reliability encompasses two aspects: power system reliability engineering and power industry reliability management. Essentially, it involves leveraging the potential of power generation and supply equipment in the most scientific and economical manner to ensure a continuous supply of qualified power to all users, thereby achieving comprehensive quality management and safety management.
In the 1980s, China established the Society of Electrical Engineers and the Oven Professional Committee. Subsequently, the Power Reliability Management Center was established. Work began on the reliability of power generation equipment, transmission and transformation equipment, and distribution equipment and systems.
By the 1990s, the vision and application of power system reliability had made new developments, and independent power supply planning software, transmission point system reliability assessment software, distribution system reliability assessment software, etc. were developed.
Zhou Jiao didn't need to recall; as Zhang Guoqing spoke, these materials automatically appeared in her mind. In her previous life, she had translated these materials for an expert.
But, had this man misunderstood? She wasn't going to graduate school, nor was she aiming for a Nobel Prize. Was this kind of research direction too much to expect of herself?
After taking a sip of water, Zhou Jiao sighed helplessly: "Husband, did you misunderstand? I'm not that great. I don't want to show off my talent. What I'm pursuing now is the safety of my family first!"
Zhang Guoqing slapped his forehead when he heard this. He was also confused and almost gave a stupid idea. These twin sons stimulated his IQ to the point that it was always off.
He looked bewilderedly at the foreign magazines and books that had reappeared in his study. What if he wasn't planning on doing research? Why was his wife going through all this trouble? There had to be a purpose.
You know, since the day before yesterday, this study has been kept secret. The secrecy was so tight that even his father-in-law was almost barred from entering.
"Wife, tell me, what do you think?"
Zhou Jiao glanced at him and said that they were a couple who were very close. Wasn't he just blindly guessing this time?
"How about I guess?"
Zhou Jiao handed him the cup: "Take a sip first and calm down. It's my fault for not discussing this with you first. This plan is still immature, and we need to prepare some backup plans."
Zhang Guoqing wanted to say that not only did you not discuss this matter with me, you didn't even tell me a word about the twins in your belly, but when he saw her slightly frowned, he swallowed his words.
Forget it, let’s hear what she says first?
Zhou Jiao sat down on the chair, studying his expression. After he finished his water and put down his cup, she asked softly, "After graduation, if nothing unexpected happens, you'll definitely transfer to the military, right?"
Zhang Guoqing nodded and extended his hand for her to continue.
"What do soldiers stand for? We all know." Zhou Jiao saw him about to speak and shook her head. "It's useless. Let's not even talk about the three months of study at the military academy. Even if you join the Logistics Department Research Institute, the first few years will be a period of hard work for you. Even if you wanted to take care of me and the children, you would be unable to do so. And when the situation becomes tense, I don't want you to be distracted."
"Then I..."
Zhou Jiao shook her hand again, signaling him to explain himself first: "Don't get angry for a moment. Transferring to a military position is your best option. I don't agree with you changing it for me."
Zhang Guoqing pondered her words and looked at her thoughtfully.
"Actually, when Shi Dashen gave me the notebook, I already had an idea in mind. I could be a non-staff member, but to be honest, I wasn't really willing to join that unit after graduation. With my dad as the leader there, I'd be restricted by many inconveniences. Any achievements would be linked to my dad, and who would want that?"
Zhou Jiao said with a smile: "During the reception mission before the New Year, I found that the Finance and Trade Office and the Planning Commission were very good. As for the Finance and Trade Office, I'm worried that people will be suspicious of my family if they become rich in the future, so the Planning Commission became my target. But if I want to join the Planning Commission, I'd rather not rely on my father's face."
Zhang Guoqing clapped his hands and laughed. If he didn't know why his wife was compiling all this information, he'd be completely clueless. Zhou Jiao already had all the connections, so what she lacked was leverage.
"Since last year, the country has been importing a lot of complete sets of equipment from Western countries. I went abroad to participate in these activities. In addition to some covert activities, I also participated in public data collection and other activities. Now that the people above are familiar with me, I have to strike while the iron is hot and hand it over now."
Zhang Guoqing nodded in agreement. Turning passive into active, maybe his wife could also adopt a dual identity like the Smiling Fox.
"Have you discussed this with Dad?"
"No, I'll discuss it with Dad after I finish sorting it out in the next two days, but I think he already has an idea. I've consulted him about some matters in these departments before."
Zhang Guoqing remembered his father-in-law's impassive expression and nodded in understanding. They were both fond of setting traps to trick people into falling into them, even while appearing harmless and benevolent.
Especially his father-in-law, who set up a trap with ease and deceived the Zhou and Lin families. Even now, some people still say that the Zhou family is kind and loyal.
Zhang Guoqing felt drunk just thinking about it.
