Chapter 680 Disappointment
Zhou Tian followed Chang Hongbing's gaze and saw several cars driving towards the pharmaceutical factory on the road in the distance.
"Lao Chang, go and inform Secretary Liu and Mr. Lu!"
Zhou Tian immediately gave orders to Chang Hongbing, then walked forward a few steps, stood at the intersection and watched the car slowly approaching.
"Is Xiaotian here?"
Seeing that the car was getting closer and closer to the pharmaceutical factory, Secretary Liu and Mr. Lu hurried out and looked into the distance following Zhou Tian's gaze.
However, when they saw several cars speeding towards them, their faces immediately changed into smiles. They took a few quick steps and rushed towards the cars. However, Zhou Tian followed behind the two of them without overtaking them at all.
When several cars stopped completely in front of the pharmaceutical factory, several familiar figures appeared in front of the three people.
Zhou Tian couldn't help but feel shocked: "Why is the old leader here?"
He knew that the old leader was very busy. Normally, he would not come unless there was something extremely important. Considering the profits of the pharmaceutical factory, it stands to reason that the old leader would not be alarmed.
But no matter what he thought, he still followed Secretary Liu and Mr. Lu silently, watching the two of them greeting several leaders.
"Xiaotian, why are you surprised to see me?"
Perhaps because he saw Zhou Tian had been silent, the old leader suddenly looked at Zhou Tian behind them and teased after greeting Secretary Liu and Mr. Lu.
"What are you saying, old leader? I can't wait to welcome you here!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Tian smiled bitterly to himself. He didn't know why the old leader did this, but he had a vague guess in his heart, could it be because of the border issue?
But he also felt that it was not the case. After all, the border issue had long been over.
Because the war lasted for a short time and ended very quickly, after China demonstrated its strength to the world, its voice and status in the international arena were greatly enhanced.
Not to mention other things, the lives of overseas Chinese have become much better. Many overseas Chinese even celebrate as lively as Chinese New Year in their respective Chinese communities.
Because Zhou Hao had made many military achievements in this war, and his superiors were also aware of Zhou Hao's contributions, he was quickly promoted to regimental commander and became a mid-level officer. He even excitedly recounted his military exploits and the importance his superiors placed on him in his letter last year.
But he didn't know that, in fact, with his military achievements, being promoted to battalion commander was already the limit. The reason why he was promoted to regiment commander was more of a compensation from his superiors.
However, Zhou Tian just thought about this in his mind. As for whether it was true or not, he had no way of guessing.
Everyone stood at the door and exchanged greetings for a while, then walked into the pharmaceutical factory.
They first visited the pharmaceutical factory and looked at the Viagra produced by the factory. When they saw the tiny medicine coming out of the production line, several leaders couldn't believe that such a tiny pill could bring the pharmaceutical factory more than $1 billion in revenue every year.
After the tour, everyone came to the conference room and first listened to Secretary Liu’s report. Although everyone knew the content of the report in advance, in the end the leader still praised the management of the pharmaceutical factory.
In particular, he expressed satisfaction with SX, which was managed by Secretary Liu and Mr. Lu. After all, no matter what, the development of SX in the past two years was indeed better than that of other provinces and cities.
Only Secretary Liu and Mr. Lu looked a little ashamed as they listened to the old leader's words. They naturally knew how all this came about.
After the meeting, the old leader asked Chang Hongbing to find an office, called Zhou Tian alone, closed the door, and looked at his favorite general with a pair of majestic eyes, with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.
"Xiaotian, you disappoint me!"
Zhou Tian originally didn't know why the old chief wanted to chat with him alone, but the old chief's words made him stunned.
"Commander, I..."
He was about to refute, but the old leader waved his hand and said, "I know what you are going to say, but do you think everything you do in sx is qualified?"
Listening to the old chief scolding him about what he had done since he came to sx, he never raised his head and just let the old chief continue to scold him.
After a long while, until the old leader finished scolding, he could only sigh as he saw Zhou Tian still looking invulnerable.
The reason why they transferred Zhou Tian out of the Sijiu City Research Institute was actually to cultivate his political talent, but now it seems that Zhou Tian's political means and talents are not up to standard.
"It was Xiaotian who disappointed the chief!"
Seeing the old chief's increasingly disappointed expression, he immediately lowered his head in shame. After all, as the old chief had said, it was somewhat misguided for him, a third-in-command, to conduct research instead of focusing on the overall situation.
"Well, things have come to this. Your days in SX may not last long, and your future career may not go far either!"
Looking at his beloved general, the old leader couldn't help but reveal a piece of information to him in advance.
"Is that so? I understand. Thank you for your advice, old leader!"
After hearing what the old leader said, Zhou Tian's face instantly relaxed, and he even felt a burst of joy in his heart, but there was no change on the surface.
But who is the old leader? How could he not see the joy that flashed across his face? He could not help but point at him and sighed after a long time.
"Ah, you are such a hopeless case!"
Finally, the old leader snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the office. Zhou Tian was the only one left, but there was a hint of relief on his face.
"Finally, I don't have to worry about my career anymore!"
Although for those who have certain political aspirations, pursuing a career in officialdom is indeed a good opportunity in this era, but for him, pursuing a career in officialdom is not really a good thing, and now he has the personal guarantee of the old leader.
Doesn’t that mean he’ll be able to return to Beijing soon?
Thinking of good things in his heart, Chang Hongbing pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Zhou Tian standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but asked with concern: "Commander, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay!"
Zhou Tian blushed and immediately changed the subject, looking at Chang Hongbing and asking, "Have the commander and the others made all the arrangements?"
"Commander, everything has been arranged!"
Chang Hongbing nodded.
"Okay, then I'll go back first!"
Zhou Tian said this and hurriedly left the office, but in Chang Hongbing's heart, he felt that the leader seemed to be fleeing in a panic.
Zhou Tian had just walked out of the pharmaceutical factory's office building and was about to get in the car to leave when he was stopped by a voice.
"Comrade Zhou Tian, wait a moment!"
