After preliminary optimization of the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material, Academician Zhang Pingxiang also left Jinling with satisfaction.

As the New Year is approaching, Xu Chuan has properly arranged the Sichuan-Sea Materials Research Institute and the Qixia Mountain Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project, and is also preparing to set off from Jinling to return to his hometown.

Although my parents did not urge him, they had called several times to ask when he would go home.

Like in previous years, Xu Chuan took the high-speed train from Jinling to Xingcheng. Although Zheng Hai said he could drive back, he refused.

Long-distance driving is quite tiring and relatively slow.

If you take the high-speed train, you can arrive in the morning and afternoon. If you drive, it will take at least one day to ensure safety.

As for using cars in my hometown, there is actually no shortage of them.

Anyway, every time I take the high-speed rail to go to other places, Zheng Hai can always turn a car out after getting off the high-speed rail. Maybe he contacted the destination organization or some department in advance to dispatch it. It was just a car, and it was not a big deal for the ubiquitous organization.

......

On the other hand, just as Xuchuan boarded the high-speed rail and embarked on his way home, in the Baling Zhengfu office building, nearly a thousand kilometers away, Baling's top leader Han Kangping was sitting at his desk, looking at the documents in his hand meticulously.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, it is their busy time, and all kinds of things must be arranged and handled properly.

At this moment, there were rapid and heavy footsteps outside the office. Following behind, the door was pushed open, and a male secretary who looked much younger trotted in.

Without taking a breath, the secretary who was jogging all the way said hurriedly: "Boss, the traffic management side has just received the news. Mr. Zheng Hai, the driver of Academician Xu Chuan and Xu, contacted us and applied for an Audi sedan..."

Without saying a word, Han Kangping stood up suddenly and asked, "Academician Xu is back?"

Hearing this news, he had already rushed in without knocking on his secretary's door, and had some opinions and wanted to teach him, but he was also out of mind.

The secretary quickly replied: "Well, I have confirmed with the transportation side here. It is indeed Academician Xu who is back. The man prefers to take the high-speed rail and is about to celebrate the New Year now, so he should be back for the New Year."

Upon hearing this, Han Kangping put down the signature pen in his hand, grabbed the coat draped on the back of the chair, and quickly said: "Contact people from other departments, let's go to the high-speed rail station to greet him."

For Baling City, looking at the entire history, there is only one academician-level figure who has gone out from here, and it has to be traced back to nearly twenty years ago.

Academician Xu Chuan, who has gone out of the jurisdiction of Baling City, is the second academician-level figure in the past twenty years, not to mention that he is also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering.

This is the pride of Baling City.

Putting aside other things, the administrative level attached to the title of academician itself is already a vice-ministerial level treatment.

For a small prefecture-level city like Baling, it is also a big deal to visit a deputy ministerial-level leader.

.........

On the other side, on the high-speed rail, Xu Chuan rubbed his nose and resisted the feeling of sneezing.

The business seat carriage is very quiet, and the empty carriage is now only him and Zheng Hai.

It’s not that he is special, but that no one buys a business seat. When he set off from Jinling, there were several other guests in the same carriage, but after getting off the car one after another, the whole carriage looked like a special train.

This is quite normal. After all, the high-speed rail business seats are quite expensive, and sometimes they are even more expensive than the same distance of airplane business seats, so there are naturally fewer people choosing.

For Xu Chuan, this is also pretty good.

He enjoys a quiet car environment, which makes it convenient for him to read some journals, magazines, book information, etc., and learn about the development of the outside world and the scientific research community.

After flipping through the journal in his hand, the mobile phone on the small table vibrated. Xu Chuan picked up the phone and two prestige appeared on the interface.

It was a wedding invitation sent by his childhood friend Xu Hou from the same village, and asked if he was back for the New Year and whether he had time to attend the wedding.

Staring at the information on prestige, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment.

Marriage invitation?

If he remembered correctly, Xu Hou seemed to be only a few months older than him.

He was only 22 years old when he celebrated the New Year two days ago and officially entered the age of 23. In other words, this childhood friend got married at the age of 23?

Even in the countryside, isn’t this a bit too early?

After all, Baling is not an inland or impoverished area in the west. Although it is a rural area, the marriage age does not seem to be that young, right?

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan turned his head and looked at Zheng Hai.

He noticed the gaze he sent over, and Zheng Hai turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

After thinking about it, Xu Chuan said, "When did you get married?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hai was stunned for a moment and said with a smirk: "I'm not married yet, but I'm already engaged. Why do you suddenly ask this? Do you want to get married?"

If this person gets married, it will be a good thing for the country, and the country even wants him to have a few more children.

Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "No, I'm sending a child to get married. I just sent me an invitation."

Zheng Hai said curiously: "Your childhood friend should be your partner in the same year of childhood, right? This year's 23rd? Then it's really early to get married."

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Well, he is from March, I am from December. By the way, how old are you?"

Zheng Hai: "I will turn thirty-three after spring next year."

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Then I'm not in a hurry."

Zheng Hai: "??????"

He always felt like he was saying something wrong?

.........

On the other side, Baling.

In the reception hall of Baling East Station, more than a dozen middle-aged men in suits and ties stood in the empty hall, blew the cold wind waiting.

On the side, the big red banners pulled apart by the staff and the media reporters standing by the side carrying long guns and short cannons attracted passers-by to turn around frequently.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since receiving the news, Baling Municipal Government organized people and media reporters to arrive at Baling East Station as quickly as possible and waited in the reception hall.

Everyone was worried and waited until they saw the figure walking out of the floodgates.

He walked forward quickly with the team behind him. Mayor Han Kangping warmly greeted him from a distance: "Academician Xu, thank you for your hard work along the way! Welcome home!"

Looking at the crowd coming up, and then looking at the banner that came up after the crowd, Xu Chuan sighed slightly in his heart.

He must have known the government team of Baling City. He came to say hello to him when he went home for the New Year two years ago, but he didn't expect that he would bring people directly to the high-speed rail station to greet him this year.

To be honest, he really doesn't like this kind of reception plot, but since the other party is waiting here, he can't turn around and leave.

After adjusting his emotions, he shook hands with Mayor Han Kangping of Baling City with a smile, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I'm just going home for the New Year. Mayor Han, you are so grand."

"Where, this is what we should do." Han Kangping held Xu Chuan's hand enthusiastically and shook it, and then said: "We have been waiting for almost twenty years in Baling, and finally another academician has appeared. You are the pride of Baling and the pride of your hometown. I am just to express our gratitude to the people of our hometown."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled and said modestly: "I just did what I should do."

It has to be said that these administrative leaders are indeed very good at speaking, and they are attracted to the villagers and the people, and the scenes are all in one set.

After a long greeting in the reception hall, he politely declined Mayor Han’s invitation to dinner. After arguing that he would chat with him when he had time, Xu Chuan finally got rid of the enthusiastic leaders, followed Zheng Hai into the car, and rushed towards his hometown.

In fact, he still knew why the leaders in Baling City were so enthusiastic.

After all, when he reaches his current position, sometimes a casual word can bring great changes to Baling.

Of course, when he returned home with wealth and wealth, Xu Chuan would not refuse to drive the development of his hometown when he had the ability, just like when he had money in the early years, he invested in repairing ponds in the village.

After the Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute has released some new products later, we will communicate with Baling.

For people, their hometown is always the destination in their hearts. The leader in Jinling mentioned it to him many times, wanting him to move his household registration, but he always declined it because this is his hometown.

......

In the car, Xu Chuan twisted his body and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Today I know how much influence an academician has on the local area."

To be honest, although the leaders of Baling City would take the initiative to visit his home two years ago, it was the first time that they had just blocked the high-speed rail station like today.

He thought about it and found that the biggest change over the past year was that he had won the title of academician of the two academies in China.

In the driving seat, Zheng Hai smiled and said, "This can only be said to be related to the limitations of what you can see."

"For you, at the national level, it actually has no effect on whether there is a title of academician of the two academies. But for most leaders in prefecture-level cities, the title of academician is almost the top scholar you can see."

"Especially for your hometown, since the founding of Baling, there has been only an academician. Now he is almost a hundred years old. You are the only seedling of Baling, so they are naturally enthusiastic."

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "That's true. Academicians can enjoy the treatment of deputy ministerial level. For prefecture-level cities, this level is quite high."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hai coughed unnaturally and said, "You may have some misunderstandings about your status and level?"

Xu Chuan: "?"

Zheng Hai looked at the rearview mirror facing the rear window glass and whispered: "For most academicians, what you said is fine."

"But for yourself, it's probably not the case."

"Whether it is the nuclear waste project in Qidong or the controllable nuclear fusion project in Qixia Mountain, they are units directly under the jurisdiction of the National Wu Academy. Where you live, there are permanent guards drawn from the troops to escort the security guards. Your opinions can directly reach the highest level, and the deputy ministerial level... I'm afraid that these will not be possible."

After hearing this sentence, Xu Chuan fell into thought.

In his impression, he only remembers that the academician seemed to be treated at the vice-ministerial level. As for himself, to be honest, he didn't really think about the level and position he was at after returning to China.

Now it seems that his status in China is much more awesome than he thinks?
