Chapter 389: Summoned by the Leader(1/2)
Chapter 389 Leader’s summons
Yanjing Union Medical College Hospital.
Cao Chunyuan prepared some carefully brewed pills for Pei Shaorong, but the doctor in charge prohibited Cao Chunyuan from giving Pei Shaorong other medicines, even if Pei Shaorong agreed.
In the end, Cao Chunyuan only gave Pei Shaorong a small amount of space spirit spring, and left a small bottle of space spirit spring for Pei Shaorong, and told the caregiver to give it to Pei Shaorong to drink in batches.
Afterwards, Cao Chunyuan was ‘kicked out’ of the ward.
Outside the ward, Pei Shaorong's children were guarding the outside. Most of them are workers in agricultural scientific research. Pei Shaorong's eldest daughter is 50 years old and is a doctoral supervisor at a key university in other provinces.
Seeing Cao Chunyuan going out, she immediately took Cao Chunyuan's arm and said, "Xiao Cao, the Huaxing No. 001 hybrid rice project is the most important effort of my mother's life. Auntie, I beg you to take charge of this project, otherwise we, our children, will
Yeah, I won’t have the face to face my mother even if I die.”
Cao Chunyuan sighed helplessly. Even Pei Shaorong's children had no expectations for her body. They just hoped that Cao Chunyuan would complete the project and fulfill Pei Shaorong's 'last wish'.
From this we can see how bad Pei Shaorong's current situation is.
Cao Chunyuan knew that she was not a god. She just hoped that she could help Pei Shaorong borrow another 10 days from heaven so that she could witness with her own eyes the epoch-making new hybrid rice she had cultivated.
"Aunt Pei, don't worry, I will definitely take charge of this project seriously.
This is not only for Academician Pei, but also for myself and for the tens of thousands of farmers in China. This project will definitely be a success!"
Hearing this, Pei Shaorong's eldest daughter burst into tears. She hugged Cao Chunyuan's shoulders and kept saying, "Okay, okay, okay!"
At 15:30 in the afternoon, Cao Chunyuan received a call from Song Yulong and went to Yuyuantan to meet with Xue Zhengchuan.
This time, Xue Zhengchuan did not ask Cao Chunyuan to go to the Diaoyutai Hotel, but chose to meet at Song Yulong's house. Cao Chunyuan wanted to do this because she was not used to going to such a formal place.
She was familiar with Song Yulong's family, and Song Yulong could support her from the side, preventing her from being too nervous to speak.
At 16:05 in the afternoon, Cao Chunyuan arrived at Building 8 of Yuyuantan.
This time, it was Ji Huasen, whom Cao Chunyuan was familiar with, who greeted her at the door. Ji Huasen said with a smile: "You are here so quickly. You must not be in the project team. You are not lazy, right?"
Cao Chunyuan shook her head repeatedly and explained: "No, I went to the hospital to visit Academician Pei. I chatted with Academician Pei's family for a while in the hospital. I rushed over when I received Uncle Song's call."
When Pei Shaorong was mentioned, the smile on Ji Huasen's face quickly faded. He sighed and wanted to say something, but in the end he just shook his head helplessly.
"Come into the room first, Xue Si is waiting for you. Be careful when you speak, and don't say anything nonsense."
Cao Chunyuan curled her lips. The other party was a big leader. She was not stupid, so how could she talk casually? If Song Yulong and Ji Huasen were not present, she might have been so nervous that she could not speak.
"Uncle Ji, don't worry, I'm not stupid, I know how to speak."
Ji Huasen shook his head and silently led the way. Since both parties had already said hello, Ji Huasen directly led Cao Chunyuan into Song Yulong's office.
The last time Cao Chunyuan saw Xue Zhengchuan was years ago. After half a year of not seeing each other, Cao Chunyuan almost forgot what Xue Zhengchuan looked like. Out of politeness, Cao Chunyuan respected Xue Zhengchuan and leaned over slightly to say hello.
"Hello, Leader Xue, I haven't seen you for a while. You look better."
"Ha ha!"
Xue Zhengchuan stood up with a smile, took the initiative to shake hands with Cao Chunyuan, and then sat on the guest sofa in the room with Cao Chunyuan.
"Xiao Cao, the cold-resistant and high-yielding rice you cultivated is very good and has received unanimous praise from the industry. Everyone is discussing whether to award this year's Agricultural Science and Technology Progress Award to you.
This time you are cooperating with Academician Pei again to hybridize such excellent rice. Our staff at the Ministry of Agriculture are waiting for your new results.
I've already told others about your experimental results in advance, you won't make it hard for me to get off the stage, right?"
"hehe!"
Cao Chunyuan smiled awkwardly but politely. She had already discovered that many people were paying attention to her and Pei Shaorong's hybrid rice project.
These people valued the results of this experiment even more than she did.
Xue Zhengchuan is the leader of the agricultural department, so it is normal to pay attention to this matter, but for a leader as big as him to publicize the project to the outside world before the results have come out, it is a bit exaggerated.
Fortunately, the new hybrid rice project is progressing very smoothly and will be completed successfully in 10 days.
"Leader Xue, please rest assured that I will complete the hybrid rice project with high quality and quantity, and there will be absolutely no mistakes."
"Um!"
Seeing that Cao Chunyuan's attitude was so positive, Xue Zhengchuan nodded with satisfaction.
"This set of experiments is about to end. This is the time for us to show our agricultural technology power to the world, and there must be no mistakes.
Even if the project goes smoothly, you can’t slack off at all, do you understand?”
Cao Chunyuan nodded repeatedly and said that she would go to the experimental team to keep tabs on them every day and would be responsible until the end of the experiment.
Seeing that Cao Chunyuan was so sensible, Xue Zhengchuan was very satisfied. He patted Cao Chunyuan on the shoulder with a smile on his face and said:
"You are the initiator of this new hybrid rice project, and now you are also the project leader. When the project is over, you will attend our press conference together!"
Hearing this, Cao Chunyuan's eyes lit up and she knew that the conversation was getting to the point.
There was no need for Cao Chunyuan to report to Xue Zhengchuan about the experimental project. Someone from the experimental team must have taken the initiative to report the situation to Xue Zhengchuan.
The most important purpose of Xue Zhengchuan's search for her was to communicate about the press conference after the end of the project.
After experiencing the last agricultural promotion conference, Cao Chunyuan actually refused this kind of press conference, especially this kind of international press conference.
By then, there will be a large number of foreign reporters asking questions, and there will definitely be people who are deliberately looking for trouble.
But now that she has been put in this position, she has no choice but to refuse and can only follow the leader's wishes and attend this press conference.
"Don't worry, Leader Xue. Uncle Song, er, Song Ting, he has told me before and asked me to prepare well.
I'm already thinking ahead. If you have anything to say, please inform me at any time, and I will definitely follow your arrangements."
Xue Zhengchuan smiled slightly. He had known about the relationship between Cao Chunyuan and the Song family for a long time. There was no need to pretend to be 'unfamiliar' in front of him. On the contrary, he hoped that Song Yulong could educate Cao Chunyuan well and say a few words to Cao Chunyuan.
An error occurred while getting it.
"A press conference of our scale has a fixed process and certain standardized speech techniques.
In two days, I will ask the secretary to prepare a specific flow chart for you. After you read it, you will know what the specific situation is.
As for speaking and standardizing speech techniques, I won’t ask too much.
You just need to remember to focus on several aspects such as agricultural development, scientific and technological progress, record-breaking grain production, state training, and state support.
When the time comes, prepare a few more versions of your speech, and someone will be responsible for polishing it for you. As for asking questions and answering questions, I think you did a good job last time. The leader likes your attitude very much, so we should come up with it.
Come with a confident attitude.”
"ah?"
Cao Chunyuan opened her mouth and looked at Xue Zhengchuan in disbelief. Last time at the Agricultural Promotion Conference, she got mad at a Japanese reporter, which caused a huge public opinion storm.
It was from that promotion conference that she was dubbed "Young Agricultural Research Expert" and "New Generation Agricultural Research Expert".
She always thought that her boss would not like her rude speech, but she didn't expect that her boss actually liked her retort attitude.
But think about it, Xue Zhengchuan is right. The Huaxing 001 hybrid rice she experimented with this time has an estimated yield of 1,100 kilograms per mu, which is an epoch-making breakthrough.
The yield per mu is hundreds of kilograms higher than that of the 'Seven Star Rice' plant next door, which has been clamoring to be an agricultural powerhouse, and is far ahead internationally.
At this time, there will definitely be a lot of doubts.
Instead of giving a gentle explanation, it is better to fight back vigorously and loudly use facts and data to fight back those who doubt. This is the proper attitude.
Cao Chunyuan was still worried that she had misunderstood, so she secretly glanced at Song Yulong, who was silent at the side. Song Yulong could tell at a glance what Cao Chunyuan was thinking.
He glared at Cao Chunyuan angrily and turned to look aside.
Although Song Yulong did not give any hint to Cao Chunyuan, through Song Yulong's reaction, Cao Chunyuan was basically sure that she understood correctly.
She nodded vigorously and said: "Leader Xue, don't worry, I know what to say, and I will definitely behave well when the time comes."
"Haha, okay, I will ask the secretary to send you a template in the next two days, and you can just follow the requirements on the template and write a speech.
It doesn’t matter if your writing is not good. Someone will help you polish it, so don’t worry and just write boldly!”
"Okay, I understand!"
Next, Xue Zhengchuan exchanged details of the meeting with Cao Chunyuan and informed Cao Chunyuan that before the meeting, she would be invited to participate in an internal meeting, and Song Yulong would also be present.
Hearing that Song Yulong would also be present, Cao Chunyuan was no longer afraid and nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would obey Xue Zhengchuan's arrangements.
After that, a few people chatted for a while, and Xue Zhengchuan left.
After sending Xue Zhengchuan away, Cao Chunyuan returned to Song Yulong's office again. No one was around now, and she was more natural than before.
"Uncle Song, why didn't you say anything just now? I winked at you, but you ignored me."
Song Yulong glared at Cao Chunyuan angrily. It wasn't that he didn't want to speak for Cao Chunyuan, but he didn't want Cao Chunyuan to do that.
If Cao Chunyuan repeats her last operation and responds to foreign reporters, she will be at the center of the storm again.
Cao Chunyuan has said before that she has no interest in developing agricultural scientific research, nor does she want to join an organization. In addition, his personality is mainly steady, so he does not want Cao Chunyuan to say too strong words.
In front of Xue Zhengchuan, he definitely couldn't tell Cao Chunyuan that he had to think twice before acting, think carefully about what he was saying, and think about whether what he said would affect him.
Xue Zhengchuan has already made it clear and asked Cao Chunyuan to show some "attitude". When Song Yulong said those words, wasn't he going against Xue Zhengchuan?
"well!"
Song Yulong sighed and said in a deep voice: "You are not a 3-year-old child, do you still want me to teach you everything? What I can tell you is to think through your thoughts before speaking, and don't ignore what you say when your brain gets hot.
To be continued...
