Chapter 235 Promotion
Tian Youwei held the precious blueprint in his hand, his saliva flying with excitement.
"Hey! Boy, if you've already prepared it, why didn't you take it out earlier? I've been messing around with you for the past few days!"
Since Lin Youqian has completed the latest research project and 3D model drawings, Tian Youwei no longer hides it.
"Hahaha! Deputy Commander Lin, quickly go out and claim your credit. There's no need to stay in this room any longer."
Lin Youqian was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Tian Youwei excitedly told him, "Just last time, the project you invested in has produced scientific research results that were very successful, made a significant contribution to the military, and received high recognition and praise from our superiors."
"This overwhelming honor and glory is more than enough to offset this small mistake you made. The higher-ups have already issued an order to cancel all your penalties, reinstate you, and promote you one rank to colonel. You are now deputy division commander."
"The medals of honor, certificates, and appointment letters are all kept by the chief. Go quickly."
Lin Youqian was furious. He had thought he had won by threatening Old Man Li with his new research. But he had been tricked.
"When did the research results come out? When did my appointment letter come out?"
Tian Youwei was so happy that he blurted out, "I came down just four days ago."
"Damn it, I'm going to go settle accounts with that old man."
Just four days ago, he could have freely enjoyed the love and affection with his concubine, but he was locked up in this small dark room, suffering without seeing the light of day.
Four days! I could have enjoyed myself many times and created tens of billions of tadpoles. But in the end, I suffocated to death in my stomach.
"Hey, Master Pao!"
"Don't be angry. The commander kept this secret from you for your own good. If he hadn't suppressed the news, you'd be so consumed by love affairs that you wouldn't have the energy to focus on your work!"
Lin Youqian's 190cm long legs made him walk with a gusto. The overweight Tian Youwei could hardly catch up with him when he ran.
"Master Pao! Wait for me! It's all my fault for being such a big mouth! If you go to the chief to settle the score, I'll have to write endless self-criticisms!"
After hearing the resonant sound of Lin Youqian's footsteps, Old Man Li began to retreat temporarily again, pretending to go to Kyoto for a meeting and asked Secretary Yang to come out to deal with it.
"Hi, Master Pao. Congratulations on your promotion. From now on, I should address you as Colonel Lin!"
Lin Youqian was still furious and asked him angrily, "Where's old man Li?"
Secretary Yang brought up a new military uniform and congratulated him happily.
"People are in high spirits when they are happy. I think Master Pao is becoming more and more handsome. If he wears this new military uniform, he will definitely make his wife Xiao Pao fall head over heels."
"Sister-in-law has good taste. She said she likes Pao Ye in his military uniform the most. I will personally deliver the certificate of honor to you home right now. Don't keep her waiting anxiously."
It has to be said that Secretary Yang is a person who is very good at observing people's expressions and talking. He directly brought up Qi Xu and praised him, and Lin Youqian's anger immediately subsided by more than half.
"When did she say that?"
Secretary Yang made up a story. "That's what he said last time when he came to see the chief and wanted to contact you."
"Our Pao Ye, if he wears a military uniform, he'll be the most handsome man in the world."
Secretary Yang's tone, expression, and movements were imitated so vividly that Lin Youqian believed it on the spot.
"Hmph, for my wife's sake, I'll let that old man off the hook for now. Next time, if you play tricks on me like that again, don't even think about asking me to work overtime on new things."
Secretary Yang personally gave Lin Youqian a big red flower and led sixteen officers to send this second-class hero home with honors such as congratulatory letters, medals, certificates, and reward materials.
Old man Li poked his head out from the crack of the door in the inner room and asked.
"Old Tian, why did you release this gunpowder cannon so quickly? Didn't I tell you to suppress it for a while?"
"He's completely focused on that little kid right now. If he lets him go, who's going to work overtime to develop new ones?"
Tian Youwei took out the cool model and shouted excitedly.
"Look, Chief, what is this? I don't understand it, but just by looking at the model I know it's a good thing!"
"Now the data for the new project has been finalized. If we don't release him, who will lead the team to the lab to conduct formal research and development?"
Old man Li quickly put on his reading glasses. When he saw the drawings and simulation data of the experimental results, he was so excited that he slapped his thigh.
"Wow! Good fellow, worthy of being called Master Cannon. Only that boy's clever brain could design such a formidable weapon."
"If this thing is truly manufactured, our institute's scientific research achievements will reach new heights."
"Lin Youqian is truly a military genius. With his achievements, he'll be a general before he's even forty. We're already old."
Tian Youwei smiled and flattered him. "It's all thanks to your good judgment, Commander. You went to great lengths to lure him from the business school to the military engineering college. You said Lin Youqian is worth 30,000 engineers. It's absolutely true."
"He alone accounts for more than half of our unit's scientific research achievements over the years."
"So, we have to keep him stable and never let him change his career."
Hearing the word "change of occupation", Old Man Li was terrified. "What? He wants to change his occupation?"
Tian Youwei thought that Commander Li knew about this.
"Commander, didn't he tell you that he was going to retire in October this year? One reason is that he can't leave that little girl and doesn't want to travel. Also, every time he conducts a research experiment, he has to stay in seclusion for half a year, and he can't see his beloved little wife."
"The other is that I heard her mother wasn't in good health, so she wanted to go home and inherit the business empire."
Old Man Li had received several transfer application reports, but he always thought they were just jokes and tore them up on the spot. Unexpectedly, Lin Youqian really had this idea.
"Then, then, then, what should we do?"
"If he quits, who will take his place? Who will develop new gadgets? A talent like him is born for military service. If he goes into business, won't his talent be buried?"
Tian Youwei also felt sorry.
"Yes, privately, a few of us good friends have tried to persuade him countless times, but he has made up his mind and won't waver at all. The only way is to start with that little girl and let her persuade Pao Ye."
Old man Li thought this was a good idea and ran out.
"Come on, let's take advantage of this commendation to go to his house and have a good chat with that kid."
"At worst, we can make an exception and grant them a small house when they do their research in the future."
Old man Li and Tian Youwei took great pains to catch up with the commendation team in front, and were the first to walk at the front holding the good news.
Lin Youqian glanced at him sideways. "Old man, didn't you go to Kyoto for a meeting?"
Old man Li laughed and said something funny.
"Haha, I just got back. I have to read out the news of your achievements myself to make it more impressive."
Just as Qi Xu had packed his luggage and was about to go out, he ran into a huge team of people coming to announce the good news.
"Hi, Xiao Pao's wife, congratulations!"
