Noon.
During the lunch break, the people in the studio sat together to eat and chat.
There were more and more news about science and technology on the TV these days.
"The Highest Science and Technology Awards will be announced soon!"
"Is there still a vacancy this year?"
"This award has been vacant for two consecutive years!"
[Self-developed fighter jet to be put into service!]
"China's first self-developed fighter jet unveiled!"
[The new academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering to be announced!]
"Celebrity Scientists Will Make a Collective Appearance!"
Online.
The netizens were extremely excited.
"We've entered the Technology Month."
"Is the new fighter jet going to enter service? So fast? "
"We finally have our own fighter jet!"
"Moreover, it's independently developed. This is the power of our country!"
"The military fanatic is in tears!"
"It's really exciting."
"It's mainly the engine technology. When did we master it? I've never heard of any technological breakthroughs before. "
"Yeah, I was dumbfounded when they announced the test flight of the fully independently developed fighter jet. How did they manage to get the engine?"
"The media didn't report it either."
"It's probably an expert."
"This year's Highest Science and Technology Award is still very popular. I have to pay attention to it."
"This award won't be empty anymore, right?"
This year was really a year of pride for the people of China. Not to mention anything else, just the successful test flight of the latest self-developed fighter aircraft had shocked the entire world. Now, it was announced that the fighter aircraft had passed numerous tests and would soon be put into service. What did this mean? This meant that China's military and technological level had taken a huge step forward, and it was a crucial step!
…
Japan.
On the Internet.
"China's self-developed fighter jet has entered service?"
"It's too fast."
"This —"
"It's impossible for them to have this technology."
"I thought it was a lie when you said that the test flight was a success."
"You really joined the army? You can use it to fight? "
"China is developing too fast!"
…
Korea.
Online.
"China also has a fifth-generation fighter jet?"
"And the engine is also independently developed?"
"How did they do it?"
"Could it be a smokescreen? Fake news? "
"I also feel that this is too fast."
"Did foreign experts help them?"
"That's impossible. There aren't many countries that have fully autonomous fifth-generation fighter jet technology."
…
America.
Online.
"They really did it?"
"The Chinese are too scary."
"In just a few years, you've made so many technological breakthroughs?"
"China's scientists are indeed smart."
"Who was the chief scientist in charge of the engine development?"
"I don't know."
In countless countries abroad.
Many military fans were shocked by this news!
…
At Zhang Ye's Studio.
Ha Qiqi also smiled and said, "That's really good news."
As Zhang Zuo ate, he said, "There's too much trash news these days. A lot of it is meaningless. I've finally heard a piece of news that makes my blood boil."
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "That's right. When the country becomes strong, we citizens and artists will have more confidence. That's why I say that a science celebrity is a real celebrity." These were the words that others had used to trick him back then. This time, Zhang Ye was using them again, and this fellow was deeply impressed by them.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Tong Fu was close to it and opened it. "Huh?"
There was a woman standing outside. She looked familiar.
Ha Qiqi recognized her. "Professor Xin?"
The person who came was Wu Zeqing's rare good friend, Xin Ya. She was also a math professor from Tsinghua University and a well-known young mathematician in the country.
Zhang Ye put down his bowl of rice. "Yo, Professor Xin."
Xin Ya narrowed her eyes at him. "How have you been, Professor Zhang?"
"Come in, come in." Zhang Ye smiled and said, "What brings you here?"
Xin Ya said, "I just got off work at the research institute and walked over to your place. Since I haven't seen you in four years, why don't you treat me to a meal?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "You've already applied to be a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and will soon become the second female research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It's more like it if you treat me to a meal."
Ha Qiqi said in surprise, "Aiyo, congratulations then."
Zhang Zuo also chuckled and said, "Congratulations, Professor Xin."
But Xin Ya was stunned when she heard that. She stared at Zhang Ye and said hoarsely, "How did you know about this?"
"Ah?" Zhang Ye was taken aback and said nervously, "It wasn't announced?"
Xin Ya looked at him. "The application hasn't been approved and the Chinese Academy of Sciences hasn't even discussed it, so how could it be announced!"
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "My wife —"
Xin Ya interrupted, "I didn't tell Old Wu about this either!"
Zhang Ye coughed and said, "Eh, then who did I hear it from? I can't remember."
Xin Ya asked, "How did you find out about it?"
"I really forgot," Zhang Ye lied.
Xin Ya wasn't stupid, so of course she wouldn't believe Zhang Ye's nonsense.
It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but that he couldn't say it yet. This was because this fellow had too many confidentiality rules, so he had to keep it to himself until it was time. Actually, Zhang Ye had even seen Xin Ya's application to be a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There was no other reason than that Zhang Ye was the current research fellow of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. At the Chinese Academy of Sciences, unless it was a special case like Zhang Ye's, it would usually have to go through the votes of all the research fellows of the institute before it could be approved. Therefore, when a research fellow's application was submitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, every research fellow would have to go through it in principle. It just so happened that Zhang Ye had gotten to know quite a lot of the research fellows of the Mathematics Academy over the past few years. He had even helped Xin Ya with her votes, but there was no need to tell her about this.
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "In any case, just treat me to a meal."
Seeing that he wouldn't say anything no matter what, Xin Ya couldn't do anything about it. She knew that as a mathematician, her eloquence could not compare to Zhang Ye's. So she took out an invitation and said with a smile, "The State Science and Technology Awards Ceremony will be held in a few days. I just received the invitation this afternoon and it says that I can bring a family member with me. Since you're Old Wu's husband, how about it? Sister Xin, I'll bring you around to broaden your horizons. "
Everyone laughed, knowing that the two of them were just joking.
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. "Thanks a lot."
Xin Ya smiled and said, "You're welcome. We're all friends, after all."
Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.
Ha Qiqi went to open the door. It was a delivery. "Director Zhang, it's for you."
Zhang Ye asked, "What is it?"
Ha Qiqi opened it and was taken aback. "An invitation?"
When they heard that, everyone gathered around in surprise. Even Xin Ya came over.
It was a very plain red invitation.
— The State Science and Technology Awards Ceremony!
It was exactly the same as the invitation that Xin Ya had received!
Xin Ya said in surprise, "Ah? Why do you have one too? "
The staff were also a little confused. "Yeah, that shouldn't be the case, right?"
Zhang Ye harrumphed as he opened the invitation and took a look. "Why can't I have one?"
"Which row are you in? We're both in the field of mathematics research, so we should be sitting next to each other, right? " Xin Ya raised her head to have a look at his invitation. When she saw it, she was so shocked that her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Damn, you're sitting in the first row?!"
Zhang Ye didn't have such a concept either. He subconsciously asked, "Which row are you in?"
Xin Ya said dumbfoundedly, "I'm — in the 16th row."
Ha Qiqi said in amusement, "Director Zhang, you're sitting so close to the front?"
But Xin Ya knew that it wasn't as simple as just sitting in the front!
The first row!
And the second row!
The people sitting in these two rows were clearly —
All of a sudden, Wu Yi, who was watching the news, exclaimed, "Quick, come and see this! The nominees for the State Science and Technology Awards have been announced! There's a total of 103 people! "He looked at Zhang Ye in shock." Director Zhang, what the heck! Y-Y-Why is your name up there as well? "
Ha Qiqi was dumbfounded. "Could it be someone with the same name and surname?"
Wu Yi pointed up and said, "No, there's even a birthday on it. It's Director Zhang!"
Zhang Zuo said, "What?"
Xin Ya said, "Did you really get nominated?"
