The two leaders who were discussing inside looked up and saw such a clever little girl standing there, and they couldn't help but relax their expressions.
Xiang Mianmian was a little afraid to go into the office.
The two leaders smiled, and one of them stood up to make tea, jokingly saying, "Wow, this girl is not even as old as my daughter. How can this little girl be so impressive?"
He has a square face and is of medium build. However, he is very graceful and calm in his every move.
It's the unique temperament of civil servants, who are calm and composed, and can calmly find a solution even when the sky is falling, with a sense that the overall situation is under control.
Xiang Mianmian was soothed by his casual words, and her hands stopped shaking nervously.
Don't blame her for being useless. Anyone would be nervous if they were in this situation.
Another leader who was still sitting put the documents aside and smiled amiably, "Come on, your name is Xiang Mianmian, right? Sit down first. Don't be afraid, we're just chatting."
Xiang Mianmian was not surprised that she knew her name.
Judging from the intensity of the country's work, it is possible that my bed-wetting experience at the age of three was revealed under the leaders' noses. What's so surprising about just a name?
Since the leader had spoken, Xiang Mianmian sat in front of the leader as instructed.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in being afraid, so it is better to accept it generously.
The leader who made tea handed her a cup of black tea, but did not sit down, but stood by the desk.
He took it with both hands and expressed his gratitude.
Amidst the aroma of tea, the leader sitting opposite knocked on the table and asked, "Are you interested in coming to City B to attend university?"
This was a novel trend, and Xiang Mianmian didn't react at first.
There is no university in her county, or even in the city to which it belongs. The only university is in the provincial capital, 600 kilometers away.
Because of the long distance, few people are willing to travel thousands of miles to study.
In addition, since every family in the county has many children, everyone's thinking has been trapped in a vicious cycle of graduating and quickly working to support the family.
Moreover, in an era of information blockade, they also think that tuition fees are a big expense.
From elementary school to high school, tuition fees are more expensive every year, so it is natural to think that university tuition and living expenses are more expensive, and I don’t know that I can apply for university subsidies.
Since you can start working after graduating from a technical secondary school or high school, what’s the point of going to university?
So as generations passed, there was no concept of going to college at all.
Xiang Mianmian actually knows the benefits of going to college, but she doesn't want to continue studying.
There are too many restrictions as a student. It would be much better if I could become a teacher after graduation. When I don’t have classes, I can sleep until I wake up naturally.
She honestly expressed her desire not to go to school with a sincere look in her eyes.
The leader never expected that someone would not want to make progress. He had originally planned to arrange for this child to attend a university in City B.
Once you arrive, you can register your residence and work directly in a confidential unit after graduation. How great would it be to serve the country?
But he didn't force it, only saying, "You can think about it carefully. Going to university to further your studies and exchange some skills would be great. I understand if you want to stay close to home."
Although people are reluctant to follow the arrangement, Xiang Mianmian's repair skills are indeed top-notch, so there is no need to study for a few more years.
There are not many people in the school who can teach her.
Now the military camps in the county and the heavy industries in Shanghai are competing for it. Even technical secondary schools are able to take the lead because they are close to home. It seems that City B has no appeal.
Xiang Mianmian still shook her head. "Thank you, boss, for the promotion. I have more freedom of time at work, and I can also exchange technology across the country and better serve the people."
In this environment, it seems that there is no shame in speaking such truths.
The leader pushed up his glasses and nodded approvingly, "Okay, as long as you know your way around it. I'll have someone arrange a visiting professorship for you, and I'll be back to trouble you if I need anything in the future."
Blinking to Mianmian, he said a little embarrassedly, "What about my salary?"
Workers are definitely salary-oriented. They must not be ashamed to talk about salary. They must talk about it boldly.
The leader laughed heartily: "Little comrade, you are such a money-grubber. Don't worry, this salary is definitely higher than your teacher's. How can we treat such a talented person unfairly?"
He pointed his finger in the air at Mianmian, thinking that this little girl was quite interesting.
When his boss teased him as a money-grubber, Xiang Mianmian touched his nose in embarrassment and said nothing.
As long as the money is in place, you can say a few words, and it’s okay to curse a few times, otherwise it will be a burden to hold the money.
She was delighted at the thought of getting two salaries.
But thinking of his own mission, Xiang Mianmian scratched his head again, and still spoke out boldly:
"I... I looked at the computer. Actually, there are still some areas that can be optimized. It's too big, and some of the configurations are redundant. Otherwise..."
She felt that her idea of improving the computer was a bit far-fetched and got stuck halfway through.
The leader, however, listened attentively and looked at her encouragingly: "What is it? Don't be afraid, young comrade, speak boldly. You were never as timid as you are now when you were improving the machinery for the military camp."
He tapped the document on the table. The thirty-one improvement plans mentioned there were very interesting.
Although there is no record of the detailed plan, seeing that the military camp adopted six of the plans, it can be seen that the girl has some solid ideas in her mind.
If only computers could be optimized...
The leader's eyes became even more enthusiastic. He wanted the country to be prosperous more than anyone else. This was a good opportunity!
