Jiangling Expressway Exit.
Wu Dingrong stared at the end of the expressway as he squinted his eyes against the cold wind. His face was dark and red from the cold. Fortunately, it wasn't snowing today. Otherwise, his beard would be covered in snowflakes.
After waiting for too long, he finally couldn't take it anymore. He twisted his stiff neck, looked at the secretary standing next to him, and asked in a hoarse voice.
He then asked with a hoarse voice, "Are you sure Professor Lu is coming back today?"
"… I heard from the transportation bureau that he should be coming back today. He shouldn't be on the expressway for a whole day, right? It's only 500 kilometers, and it's not rush hour … Mayor, why don't you go to the toll station first? I'll call you when there's news from the transportation bureau. "
Sun Xiaofeng, who was standing next to Wu Dingrong, was also confused.
Especially when he saw the hint of displeasure on Mayor Wu's face, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
He was the first person to know that Lu Zhou was going back to Jiangling today, and he immediately reported the news to the mayor.
After knowing that Academician Lu was going to return to his hometown, the city council leader immediately held a meeting. They used three hours to decide on the arrangements, used one hour to hang a banner at the exit of the expressway, and used the remaining hour to get here.
Logically speaking, a normal academician wouldn't be worthy of a city council leader coming out to greet him. Although academicians enjoyed the treatment of a deputy director, the treatment level and the administrative level were two different things, and the administrative level and real power were even more different.
But Academician Lu was different.
Not only did he lead a number of national key projects, but he was also treated as a VIP by the council of elders. He was also personally awarded the "Ling Yun" medal by the president!
With such outstanding achievements, not to mention a local mayor, even a high-ranking official would have to be polite to him. Now that this big boss was going back to his hometown, as a local official, Mayor Wu naturally arranged this matter as the most important position on his work schedule.
However, something seemed to have gone wrong …
Logically speaking, Academician Lu's car should have exited the highway after six to seven hours of driving. However, there wasn't even a shadow of the car in sight. It was a little confusing.
"No," Wu Dingrong shook her head. She looked at the other end of the road and said, "Academician Lu is an important person of the country. It's rare for him to come back to his hometown. As the leader of Jiangling City, I must let him feel the warmth and sincerity from his hometown. What was warmth? What was sincerity? Sitting in the room and waiting for people to come out, how could that be called sincerity? We are warm, but have you considered other people's feelings? "
You've already arranged for us to be at the entrance of the expressway. If this isn't sincerity, are you planning to follow the ancient people and welcome us backwards?
Secretary Sun looked at the stubborn Mayor Wu. Although he knew that this was just a show, he still didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"But … it's not appropriate for you to stand outside like this! It's winter, and the north wind is still blowing. If you catch a cold, Academician Lu will definitely feel bad. "
Wu Dingrong thought that it would be better if he really felt bad.
Of course, the cameras were still here. The reporters from the local and provincial newspapers were still here. Of course, she couldn't say this out loud.
"It doesn't matter if I catch a cold, but Academician Lu fell sick on the front line of scientific research. What's a cold to me? Not to mention that I'm in good health! " Wu Dingrong shook her head and said, "This topic ends here. If you feel cold, you can go back and rest."
Although Secretary Sun wanted to turn around and leave, he didn't dare to move his legs.
Go back and rest?
If he went back and rest, he was afraid that he would really go home to rest tomorrow.
Although he was complaining in his heart, he could only follow the mayor and the municipal leaders to shiver in the cold wind.
Sun Xiaofeng enviously looked at the big coat that the mayor was wearing and then looked at the thin suit that he was wearing. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Right now, he only hoped that Academician Lu's driver could drive faster.
If he continued to wait like this, the mayor might not catch a cold, but he would definitely catch a cold …
…
Unfortunately, Secretary Sun's prayers were destined to be in vain.
It wasn't just Secretary Sun, the entire Jiangling City Party Committee didn't expect Lu Zhou to take a detour and go to the provincial capital on his way home.
After he got off the highway in Jiangcheng, Wang Peng set up navigation on an unmarked area on the map. He drove onto the ring road and soon arrived at the edge of the Jiangcheng high-tech zone.
The newly established semiconductor industrial base was located here.
The tall concrete wall was like a medieval city wall, and it surrounded the entire industrial park. The only entrance and exit of the six-lane road were also set up with checkpoints and sentries.
Wang Peng slowly drove the car to a checkpoint and rolled down the window. He showed the soldier his ID and was quickly let in.
Lu Zhou looked at Wang Peng and asked curiously.
"Can you go anywhere with your pass?"
"Of course not." Wang Peng shook his head and said, "I have to apply before I go, then I have to write a report. This includes what I'm going to do, who I'm going with, who I'm going to see, and how long I'm going to stay. "
Is it really that troublesome?
"But I don't think I've seen you apply."
Wang Peng smiled and said, "Of course someone has already applied. After all, we're not the only ones escorting you back."
"I see … This is really troublesome."
When Lu Zhou thought about how he was delaying a lot of people from going home for Chinese New Year, he felt embarrassed.
However, Wang Peng didn't seem to care about this at all.
"It's not troublesome, your safety is number one. Plus, this is a special year."
Lu Zhou made a suggestion.
"Don't you miss home? I think you should arrange a shift. "
When Wang Peng heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
"A soldier has the four seas as his home. As long as there is home in his heart, anywhere is home."
The car slowly drove into the industrial park.
Next to the six-lane road was a square factory. Occasionally, one could see small and medium-sized logistics trucks going in and out of the spacious gate.
Even though the atmosphere here wasn't very lively, every factory or research institute was like a gear, operating in an orderly manner.
When Lu Zhou looked at the scenery on both sides of the road, he felt emotional.
It's been less than two months, right?
The industrial park has basically taken shape, and many research institutes and factories are already in operation …
If this wasn't a miracle, what else could be called a miracle?
Wang Peng looked at Lu Zhou in the rearview mirror and asked, "Where are we going?"
Lu Zhou thought for a few seconds and spoke.
"Let's go to Huawei's HiSilicon."
When Wang Peng heard Lu Zhou's words, he nodded.
"Okay."
The car drove off the six-lane road and headed toward the building in the center of the industrial park.
This was where Huawei's latest HiSilicon research and development unit was located, as well as a semiconductor processing base.
Of course, it was too early to call it a semiconductor processing base. The entire production and research base was focused on research and development. Only when the carbon-based transistor technology could be transformed into a tangible product could they talk about production.
Because Star Sky Technology invested in HiSilicon a while ago, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study sent a carbon-based semiconductor research team over to help the engineers and chip experts solve the industrialization problem.
Lu Zhou parked the car in the parking lot and called Chen Yushan. He told her that he was at the Jiangcheng semiconductor industrial base. He then got out of the car and walked toward the factory.
However, when he walked to the door, a staff member wearing a hard hat and a management uniform walked over and stopped him.
"Stop! Which department are you from, why are you here … Oh sh * t, Lu Zhou?! "
When Lu Zhou saw the face under the hard hat, the surprise on his face wasn't any less than he blurted out.
"Little b * tch?!"
F * ck!
Huang Guangming?!
Lu Zhou's roommate when he was an undergraduate.
I didn't expect to see him here …
This …
This is too much of a coincidence!
