When the three of them returned to the house after morning exercise, Tai Wei had already brought breakfast back from the cafeteria.
Steamed buns, porridge, pickles, and a boiled egg for each person, simple and delicious.
During breakfast, Xu Jianguo told everyone at the General Staff and the Jingzhou Weapons Research Institute about his agreement to communicate. Su Dingshan and Ma Guoliang agreed without even thinking about it.
The two of them were going to inspect the grassroots companies today, so only Xu Jianguo would participate in the exchange.
After breakfast, Xu Jianguo removed the gauze from Su Dingshan's head and opened the dressing. Ma Guoliang, who was standing nearby, looked at the scabbed wound in astonishment and asked, "Jianguo, did it heal overnight?"
"Yes, I am quite experienced in treating external injuries!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
Su Dingshan listened to the conversation between the two and suddenly became curious, so he stretched out his left hand and touched the scar.
When he touched the slightly hard scab, his eyes suddenly gleamed as he looked at Xu Jianguo. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Boy, is there any way to mass-produce this medicine for treating trauma?"
As soon as Xu Jianguo heard his question, he knew what he meant, but he shook his head and said, "Old man, mass production is unlikely, mainly because the medicinal materials are relatively expensive and not easy to find."
Su Dingshan suddenly felt a little disappointed, but Xu Jianguo's next words gave him a glimmer of hope.
"However, I can share the prescription. Even if it can't be used on a large scale, it should be fine for a small scale!"
"Okay! It's okay on a small scale. With your prescription, it can benefit many people!" Su Dingshan said with a smile.
"I'll write down the prescription and give it to you later!" said Xu Jianguo.
"Okay!" Su Dingshan said.
After helping Su Dingshan treat his wounds, the three of them left the house together. While they were having breakfast, Su Dingshan's confidential secretary had already conveyed the details of the morning exchange meeting to everyone in the General Staff and the Jingzhou Weapons Research Institute.
When Xu Jianguo arrived at the Binhai Base Command Conference Room, twenty or thirty people were already waiting there.
Xu Jianguo greeted everyone with a smile, and everyone responded. However, what he didn't expect was that Shi Zhen, the director of the 523 Institute, was also among them.
When their eyes met, Xu Jianguo clearly saw a hint of embarrassment in the other's eyes, but he didn't care. Instead, he smiled at him in return, then passed him by and walked towards the podium temporarily set up in the conference room.
Xu Jianguo stood on the podium, raised his hand and saluted the crowd below, then said with a smile: "Everyone here can be considered my predecessors. Today we are taking this opportunity to exchange ideas and learn from each other!"
"That won't do. Yesterday we agreed that each of us would have three questions. Colonel Xu, you're probably not keeping your word!"
"That's right, there's no problem communicating, but you have to answer our questions first!"
"That's right, that's right. As the saying goes, those who achieve success are the first. Lieutenant Colonel Xu, don't be so modest!"
As Xu Jianguo finished speaking, the people sitting in the audience started talking. This scene made him feel a little amused and helpless. Shi Zhen, who was sitting in the corner, felt mixed emotions when he looked at the high-spirited young man on the podium.
He still remembers the first time he met Xu Jianguo...
"It's not really a bother. I don't know how you got here, but I have to follow orders from above! However, there are some things I need to tell you in advance. Our current research schedule is very tight, and as you can see, the workshop is also very busy, so I don't have any extra staff to assign to you. I heard that you already have your own ideas, so I hope you can conduct your own research first. When we are less busy, we can assign you someone else."
These were the words Shi Zhen said to Xu Jianguo at the time. He originally thought that this was a person who got in through the back door and was aiming for the position of deputy director. However, he did not expect that in less than 20 days, without any help from anyone, he accomplished what many people had not been able to do in decades.
He single-handedly pioneered the field of sniper rifles for Longxia Kingdom.
In fact, when he said those words, besides looking down on Xu Jianguo, there was another meaning behind it, which was "If you can't achieve results, it's your own fault. If you do achieve results, you have to take some credit."
With the position of deputy director vacant and the director absent, the credit for the achievements of the 523rd Institute would naturally go to Shi Zhen alone. Although this possibility is small, it would eventually help him get promoted.
It can be said that Shi Zhen is not only utilitarian, but also a man of great skill. However, he underestimated Xu Jianguo's personal connections and the impact of Xu Jianguo's achievements on the entire country.
He always thought that he hid his motives very well, but he never thought that his self-righteous cleverness might become the fuse that ruined his bright future.
Before they knew it, it was already noon, but the enthusiasm in the conference room did not diminish at all. Whether it was people from the General Staff or people from the Jingzhou Weapons Research Institute, they were all attracted by Xu Jianguo's talent in light weapons design and development.
Xu Jianguo was able to perfectly answer almost every question raised by everyone, and many of his answers were things that this group of people had never seen in books.
The four researchers from the 523 Institute, including Shi Zhen, were already stunned at this time. They could never have imagined that the young man who stayed in the small workshop behind the institute all day had such profound attainments in light weapons research.
They now felt like they were deeply regretting their decision, and Shi Zhen felt even more bitter at this moment, as if a great god was right beside them and they, a group of mortals, were blind.
The three researchers looked at the pale-faced research director beside them from time to time, with a hint of contempt in their eyes.
Because the discussion was too heated, lunch time was about to pass. Finally, after Xu Jianguo's repeated persuasion, everyone agreed to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
Xu Jianguo walked out of the conference room surrounded by people, and Shi Zhen and others wanted to go up to him and say hello, taking the opportunity to ease the relationship, but there were too many people and they didn't even have a chance to move aside.
Xu Jianguo declined their invitation to have dinner together, citing family matters as an excuse. After sending everyone to the cafeteria, he turned and walked towards home.
