Chapter 851: Promotion Again
"Come sit down and talk!"
Dean Wang motioned for him to sit down, and then he said, "In fact, as early as three years ago, the higher-ups were interested in developing a rocket satellite launch program, but at that time, our country lacked the necessary talent, so the project was delayed for several years!"
"Seeing that the rocket and satellite projects of Bald Eagle and Big Brother have been in full swing in recent years, the higher-ups decided to restart this plan. After all, there have been reports abroad that "whoever controls outer space controls the right to speak about the future of the starry sky, and we naturally cannot fall behind!"
"Sijiu City is our political center, and it is definitely not suitable for building a satellite launch base. So at the beginning of the year, the higher-ups made a plan to relocate our research institute!"
Dean Wang did not hide anything from his top general and told him the whole story of the plan.
In fact, the reason why the plan was restarted was also because of Zhou Tian. After all, it was because Zhou Tian developed various world-leading home appliances, automobiles, machine tools and other products that earned a large amount of foreign exchange for the country.
This has enabled many projects that were on the verge of being abandoned to have sufficient funds, and has also allowed many projects that were even ahead of their time to get back on track.
In the previous life, even under such difficult circumstances, the rocket launch plan was persisted. Now that we have abundant funds, it is even more impossible to give up!
"As the vice president of the research institute, you must build the satellite launch base in advance!"
Dean Wang stood up, took a few sips from his teacup, then sat down next to Zhou Tian, glanced at him and continued, "I know you're homesick, but we have to know that without a country, there's no home. Besides, your trip to the northwest this time may be a good thing!"
"Good thing?"
Zhou Tian suddenly became curious about what Dean Wang said. He knew what the situation was like in the Northwest. He had watched so many period dramas and novels in his previous life, and there was basically nothing else except sand and coal mines.
He doesn't think going to the Northwest is a good thing!
"Yes, that's a good thing!"
Dean Wang met his gaze, nodded slightly and smiled: "If you go to the northwest, in order to compensate you, the higher-ups have decided to appoint you as the commander of the satellite launch base. Your rank will be officially upgraded to ministerial level, and you will enjoy a higher level of treatment! What do you think? Isn't this a good thing?"
You know, Zhou Tian is only in his thirties now. Just the fact that his administrative level has been promoted to the ministerial level is already the end of many people's lives, and he also enjoys a higher level of treatment. What a concept! Even the grandson of the top leader cannot get this treatment.
Looking at Zhou Tian’s young face, to be honest, when he heard about the treatment he received from his superiors, even he himself was a little upset.
It's really that this kid's level has increased too rapidly. Even when he was on the battlefield, his level didn't improve as fast as his.
At this time, Zhou Tian was shocked by the dean's words, and at the same time, a feeling of panic arose in an instant.
"Dean, no, this won't work. I am willing to go to the Northwest, but I can't accept this level of treatment, and I dare not accept it!"
To be honest, when he was first promoted to the vice-ministerial level, he was a little nervous. Now that he has been promoted to the ministerial level, it is simply terrifying.
Not to mention that the treatment is even higher, isn't this just putting him on the fire?
Although he thought that he had indeed made a significant contribution in terms of achievements, no, even a lot of contributions, but no matter how great the contribution was, he did not think that he could hold a high position at such a young age.
If it wasn't Dean Wang who said this, he would have thought that someone was trying to flatter him.
"You kid!"
Dean Wang couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhou Tian's repeated rejections. He naturally knew the reason why Zhou Tian refused. Although he admired him in his heart, he said, "You can't refuse. This is the decision of everyone above. If you really feel that you are not worthy of your position, then why don't you make more contributions?"
"But, Dean, this is also..."
Zhou Tian wanted to refuse, but Dean Wang couldn't help but frowned and said, "Boy, don't be ungrateful. This is an order from above. I guess the appointment will be passed down tomorrow. Don't make a fool of yourself then!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that the dean was really angry, Zhou Tian could only nod helplessly.
"Okay, don't act like a good kid just because you got the advantage. You know, there are countless people stuck at the ministerial level. You've reached this level at such a young age, which is already envied by many people. However, as your level is upgraded, I'm afraid the burden on you will not be lightened!"
Patting him on the shoulder, Dean Wang spoke earnestly.
People who have not reached this level do not know, but only those who have reached this level understand how difficult the journey we are on in national construction is.
"Dean, I understand!"
Zhou Tian said with a slightly bitter smile, in other people's writings, when the wind blew, people would go to the countryside to work, but why did it become a promotion and wealth in his case?
Could it be that the script he got was wrong, or was it that someone was going to give him a big surprise?
Although Dean Wang had good intentions, he just couldn't feel happy for some reason, especially when he thought of the increasingly severe storm that was about to come. He could only sigh inwardly.
"Okay, stop looking so sad. Are you unhappy that your boss gave you a promotion?"
"No, I'm happy. How could I not be happy?"
Zhou Tian immediately came to his senses and forced a smile on his face.
Six pm.
On the road, in the jeep, after picking up his wife Shen Yulin, Zhou Tian's mind was still in a mess. To be honest, even he himself didn't know how he got through the day.
Is he happy about the promotion? To be honest, if it was in the past, he would definitely be happy, but only in this sensitive period, he couldn't be happy.
"What's wrong? Boss, why do you look unhappy today? Did something happen in the research institute?"
As soon as Shen Yulin got in the car, she noticed that her husband was absent-minded and asked with concern.
"No, I'm fine, and I'm not unhappy. It's just that the dean told me something today, and I'm still a little confused!"
When Zhou Tian heard his wife's question, he immediately shook his head.
"Then tell me, what is it that makes you so distracted?"
"That's right, my wife. I'm afraid my level will be raised again tomorrow!"
"What?"
Shen Yulin was immediately shocked by her husband's words. She was no longer the political novice she used to be. She was naturally very clear about her husband's rank. She remembered that her husband seemed to have been promoted to vice-ministerial level when he went to Shanxi Province.
It hasn't been that long, and now my husband is going to be promoted again!
