Chapter 816: Benefits before the Lunar New Year

"Xiaotian, are you sure?"

Hearing Zhou Tian's answer without any hesitation, Dean Wang asked again to confirm.

"Dean, this is my choice!"

Zhou Tian nodded heavily. As for a career in politics, he had never had any aspirations from the beginning. If he had, he would never have stayed in the research institute.

Compared to a career in politics, he hoped that the country would become stronger, which was why he chose this path despite having many options.

And he also has self-awareness and knows that he is not cut out for it.

As for stopping at the ministerial level, he thought it was not a bad thing, but a good thing for him. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Seeing that the storm is getting closer, he naturally hopes not to get burned.

"Okay, I hope you won't regret it in the future. By the way, the higher-ups asked me to tell you that Wu Yue'e's case is a special case given to you by the higher-ups. However, in domestic marriage, you are not husband and wife yet. As for Wu Yue'e's return home permit, the date has been re-filled in as a special case. Here, I just brought it to you!"

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Dean Wang stopped trying to persuade him. He took out a return permit from his pocket, stood up and handed it to Zhou Tian, ​​and then said, "Now that everything is said and done, I will leave. Xiaotian, I hope you don't feel resentful towards the country. After all, under the cleanup and law enforcement, the country has no other choice!"

As he said this, he patted Zhou Tian's shoulders heavily a few times, sighed, turned around and walked out of Zhou Tian's office.

After all, facing Zhou Tian’s decision, he still needs to report to his superiors.

Zhou Tian watched Dean Wang leave, but was silent for a while. He put out the last cigarette butt in the ashtray, then he picked up the home return permit in his hand and looked at it. When he saw that the date was indefinite, his nose couldn't help but feel sore.

"How lucky am I to deserve this from the country?"

Muttering to himself, a hint of emotion flashed across his eyes for a moment, but at the same time, for some reason, his heart suddenly felt extremely relaxed.

Haizi, in a classical study room.

An old man lowered his head and reviewed the documents in his hand. His slightly furrowed brows flashed with wisdom and elegance from time to time.

Just as the old man was processing documents wholeheartedly, a secretary came in from outside. He first picked up the teapot and refilled the old man with a cup of tea. Then he whispered to the old man, "Chief, Dean Wang of the Fifth Research Institute wants to see you. What do you think?"

"Oh, it's Xiao Wang? Let him in!"

When the old man heard this, his men paused slightly and gave instructions to the secretary.

"Ok!"

The secretary responded and stepped back. After a while, he took Dean Wang into the old man's study.

"Xiao Wang, what's the matter? It's Xiao Tian who didn't agree, right?"

When the old man saw Dean Wang come in, he immediately asked with a smile.

"Master, please understand! That's exactly it!"

Dean Wang also smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Hahaha, I knew it. Given how much that kid cares about his family, there's no way he would agree to it. Especially since he's a bit lazy himself, he probably wouldn't be interested in those conditions!"

The old man smiled, and his words did not seem to show any surprise at Zhou Tian’s refusal.

"Commander, since you knew Xiaotian would not accept this condition, why did you offer these two options?"

Dean Wang asked with some confusion for a moment.

After all, isn't it a waste of effort to do so?

Seeing Dean Wang's confusion, the old man stood up from his chair, stretched his body, and explained: "Now, many things are not what we want to do. We don't have the final say. After all, we need to seek everyone's opinions!"

"Besides, many people actually don't take our attention to Xiaotian seriously. We still need everyone's agreement. This way, even if something happens in the future, at least he won't be involved!"

"He is the scientist I think the most. I don't want his research to be disturbed. By the way, Xiao Wang!"

"Chief, tell me!"

Dean Wang immediately stepped forward, supported the old man and whispered.

"You must protect Xiaotian. He is our future. At the same time, the Fifth Research Institute and the Red Star Research Institute should increase their security forces. In addition, I will apply for the permission to fire guns for the Fifth Research Institute and the Red Star Research Institute in the next week! You need to arrange this in advance!"

Dean Wang was shocked by the old man's words and couldn't help asking, "Chief, this is a bit exaggerated!"

"Exaggeration, no, no, no, this is also to prevent some accidents from happening. After all, these two research institutes are the foundation of our domestic industrial rise, and we can't afford to lose them. Okay, go and make the arrangements!"

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head, said something meaningful, and waved his hand to signal Dean Wang to leave.

When Dean Wang left him, he murmured to himself, "I hope I'm worrying too much!"

After saying that, he sighed, turned around and returned to his seat and continued to correct the documents.

However, after Zhou Tian eliminated the future troubles, he no longer had any other thoughts and devoted himself to research. Since his superiors had given him enough trust and treatment, he naturally had to give something in return.

Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, the research on both submarine-launched solid strategic missiles and various missiles was progressing at an extremely fast pace.

Especially with Zhou Tian's participation, the speed of research and development has been accelerated. The missile's engine, propulsion, and range are constantly improving.

From the initial planned range of 1,200 kilometers, to the subsequent continuous increase to 2,000 kilometers, 4,000 kilometers, and finally the finalized 6,000 kilometers, its range is simply not below the range of the Bald Eagle's missile.

At the same time, Zhou Tian did not hide his incompetence when designing. He constantly passed on various advanced knowledge to the professors around him and trained a large number of technical talents. If we talk about the past, he still had some concerns about coming to the fore.

But now that he knew about the protection given to him by the top, he had no hesitation in using all his knowledge to give back.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before the Spring Festival.

On this day, when Zhou Tianzheng, Professor Shangguan and Professor Liu were constantly deducing data on various missiles and creating files, Dean Wang walked in with a smile.

He clapped his hands first, attracting everyone's attention.

"I didn't expect everyone to be here. Well, let me announce one thing. Our research institute will be officially on holiday starting tomorrow for seven days. Everyone will come back to work after seven days!"

"Also, this year, our institute has established a pharmaceutical factory due to the suggestion of our Vice President Zhou Tian, ​​so we have made a lot of foreign exchange this year. Therefore, this year, everyone in our institute will receive two pounds of pork and three boxes of fruit as welfare. Okay, everyone, get ready and go collect your welfare and go back. Xiaotian, you stay for a while!"
