industrial overlord

Chapter 401 Xiaofang returns home
Lin Fanghua decided to go back to China. She gave up her Ph.D. degree. Amidst the doubts from the international students, she packed her luggage and boarded the plane to Beijing.

At this time, there were not many international students returning to China from the United States. Since the movement had just ended, most overseas students had doubts about the domestic situation, and even more radicals thought that China was no longer worth it, as He Lan had expressed to Lin Zhenhua before. They go to sacrifice, they don't recognize this country anymore.

This is a very interesting phenomenon. Some people like to say this: loving the country does not mean loving the government.How to interpret this sentence, of course, the beholder sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom, but the strange thing is that when the people who said these words were dissatisfied with the government, they were also dissatisfied with the motherland. Du Xiangyang is such a person.

Du Xiangyang has been studying in the United States for five years. During these five years, like most Chinese students studying abroad, he has devoted almost all his time to his studies.With the unique Chinese brain and unique hardworking spirit, he became the best student under the name of his American mentor.Under the recommendation of his mentor, he was hired by Carter Corporation, the largest machine tool company in the United States, as an intern. While studying for a doctorate, he was engaged in research on cutting-edge machine tool technology in the laboratory of Carter Corporation.

The relationship between Lin Fanghua and Du Xiangyang had cooled to a freezing point. However, before leaving the United States, Lin Fanghua still called Du Xiangyang and told him of his decision.As a result, Du Xiangyang immediately got on a plane and rushed to Princeton from the west coast, intending to keep Lin Fanghua.

"Xiaofang, you are so confused. At this time, what are you thinking about going back to China? This country is no longer worthy of our love. People in China can't get out even if they think about it. How can anyone be as stupid as you? Returning to China?" Du Xiangyang asked eagerly when he saw Lin Fanghua.

"What did you say!" Lin Fanghua's pretty face was frosty, staring straight at Du Xiangyang and asked, "You forgot what we said when we were in Huaqing? We have worked for the motherland for 50 years! The slogan you shouted yourself, now Did you just forget?"

Du Xiangyang shook his head and said, "Xiaofang, we were all too naive at that time, and now we are no longer at the age of ignorance? After so many years in the United States, can you still adapt to the depressive life in China?"

Lin Fanghua said coldly: "I grew up in the depressive life you mentioned, and I don't think my own humanity is inferior to anyone else. I am a worker's daughter, and the uncles and aunts around me are humane." They are all more noble than you, at least they know that a dog is not too poor, and a son is not too ugly as a mother, but you have only been in the United States for a few days, and you have even forgotten which country you are from."

"Xiaofang!" Du Xiangyang said, "I know all these slogans, but you have to be mature and don't be bound by slogans. I don't despise poverty in China. If necessary, I can go to the poorest place in China to be a private Teacher, I am not afraid of hard conditions. But this country is not worth it, what kind of government do you think it has?"

Lin Fanghua said: "I don't want to comment on what kind of government the Chinese government is, but I know that I went back to China not for the government, but for the country, and for my brother. In China, there are countless people who are working hard for the country. Doing things, my brother is one of them. Now is the most difficult time for the country, and it is also the most difficult time for my brother, even if it is for him, I have to go back, he needs help now."

Hearing Lin Fanghua talk about Lin Zhenhua, Du Xiangyang's tone softened a lot.If there are still some awe-inspiring things in his heart, then Lin Zhenhua is undoubtedly one of them.When he was studying at Huaqing, Lin Zhenhua gave him and other students a lot of help, including providing them with scholarships and internship opportunities.Later, when he went abroad to study, he also benefited from the study abroad fund established by Lin Zhenhua.Du Xiangyang is not a white-eyed wolf. He still values ​​the true feelings in the world. He thinks that Lin Zhenhua is a big brother worthy of his respect.

"Xiaofang, Brother Lin has always been someone I respect. I will never forget his help to me. However, I think Brother Lin is a bit too paranoid. With his talent and the experience he has accumulated Assets, if you come to the United States to develop, you can easily become a billionaire and build a large enterprise that is not inferior to Carter's. In fact, there is no need for him to stay in China to work for such a government." Du Xiang Yang said earnestly.

Lin Fanghua said: "Du Xiangyang, let me tell you, we have different ways, and we don't conspire with each other. My brother's ideals are not something people like you can understand. Since he retired from the army and returned to the factory, he has been He told me that his ideal is to build China into the world's industrial overlord. He contracted factories and funded our Huaqing University's scientific research, all for the industrial development of the whole country, not for personal prosperity. To be a billionaire, he already has, but that's not what he wants."

Du Xiangyang sighed softly, he had to admit that what Lin Fanghua said was the truth.He has known Lin Zhenhua for many years, and Lin Zhenhua has talked about his dream of strengthening the country in front of him more than once.Lin Zhenhua has been very selfless when it comes to subsidizing domestic students to study abroad.Even when Du Xiangyang revealed to Lin Zhenhua that he could not return to China to play for Hanhua, Lin Zhenhua didn't show any displeasure, and let him continue to take charge of the large amount of study abroad fund.

Sometimes Du Xiangyang is very envious of Lin Zhenhua's attitude towards life. A person who can live in an ideal should be very happy.Du Xiangyang also thought about it, maybe it is a very passionate life to go back to China, sway your blood, and do something for the country.

However, his thought was just a flash every time, and he was shaken when he thought about the domestic conditions and then looked at the conditions in the United States.He said to himself, patriotism and the like are very naive ideas. To him, that country is just a place of birth. Does he have to be loyal to it because he was born there?My parents gave birth to me, and I can't forget this. When I become prosperous in the United States in the future, I just take them over to enjoy the blessings.As for the motherland, the United States will be my motherland when I take the oath under the Stars and Stripes one day.

After this movement, Du Xiangyang found a new basis for his thinking, that is, China is no longer worthy of his allegiance.Darkness, corruption, oppression, backwardness... He used all the derogatory terms he could think of on China. He believed that this country is over, and in five years, or at most ten years, this country will inevitably collapse!

"Xiaofang, as a friend, I must advise you again not to be so impulsive. I can understand your feelings, but we are people with knowledge, and we should do things with reason rather than emotion." Du Xiangyang said weakly persuaded.

Lin Fanghua said: "Du Xiangyang, you don't need to say any more, my determination has been made, and I will not change. Thank you for sending me off, maybe we will have a chance to meet again in the future."

Du Xiangyang said affectionately: "Of course we will meet again. Xiaofang, you are the first girl I fell in love with. From the first day you came to Huaqing University, I have fallen in love with you. After so many years, I have never looked at other girls more than once. I know, you despise me very much now, but I believe that one day you will know that my choice is right. I put a word here, I will always wait Yours, unless you're married to someone else."

Lin Fanghua felt sore in her heart, she turned her face away to prevent Du Xiangyang from seeing the tears in her eyes.In all honesty, Du Xiangyang is a very good boy, and Lin Fanghua once regarded him as his prince charming.But since Du Xiangyang came to the United States, Lin Fanghua felt that the distance between herself and him was getting farther and farther.This time, she chose to return to China, while Du Xiangyang chose to stay in the United States, which decided that the relationship between them was over. It's been 9 years, do you still remember the youthful years?

"Xiangyang, find a girl who likes you. Whether you return to China or not, I hope you will be happy." Lin Fanghua said softly.

Lin Zhenhua took He Lan to the airport to meet Lin Fanghua, and then took her to He Haifeng's home.Mrs. He prepared a sumptuous family banquet to greet Lin Fanghua. The strong feeling of home made Lin Fanghua completely forget the pain in her heart.

"How about it, Xiaofang, what are your plans when you come back?" He Haifeng asked in an elder tone.

"Uncle He, I still plan to complete my studies. To do scientific research in the future, it is not enough to have a doctorate." Lin Fanghua said.

"I heard from Xiao Lin that you are already studying for a Ph.D. in the United States. Isn't it a pity to give up like this?" He Haifeng asked.

Lin Fanghua said: "It's not easy to get a doctorate in the United States. It usually takes more than 6 years, and sometimes it can be delayed to 10 years. I can't wait."

"Why, are you in a hurry to start a family?" He Haifeng teased.

When talking about starting a family, Lin Fanghua's expression froze for a moment, but she recovered quickly and said with a smile: "Uncle He likes to joke, I'm not in a hurry to start a family."

He Haifeng's wife, Fan Xuefen, said at the side: "Why are you not in a hurry to start a family? Xiaofang is 27, right? When I was your age, Lanlan's elder brother was already born. It's too late for lesbians to have children. good."

"Who is going to have a baby!" Lin Fanghua was really ashamed, "I don't have a baby, I already have a niece. By the way, brother, is Feifei good-looking?"

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "In two days, you can go back to Xunyang to have a look. Yang Xin also talks about you all day long. The relationship between you sister-in-law is better than my relationship."

"Of course, Yang Xin is my best friend. Of course, her friendship with me is deeper than that with you." Lin Fanghua said proudly.When she returned to her brother's side, she suddenly returned to her original savage and naughty appearance.

"I'm going too." He Lan raised a hand and said, "I'm going to see Xiao Feifei too, by the way, what should she call me?"

Lin Fanghua said: "It depends on where you come from. If you call Yang Xin sister, then Feifei will call you aunt. If you call my brother brother, then Feifei will call you aunt."

"But I call Yang Xin sister and Brother Xiaohua brother, so what should I do?" He Lan was depressed.

Everyone laughed, and naturally they didn't care about He Lan's little thoughts.Lin Zhenhua said to Lin Fanghua: "Xiaofang, didn't you study metal materials in the United States? You should go back to the Department of Mechanical Engineering to do a doctorate in materials science. I will contact Professor An Zixuan for you. He is now our specially-appointed researcher. , find him to open a back door and recruit you as a doctor, it shouldn't be a problem."

"You people are so corrupt!" He Lan said with a smile, "You have to open the back door even to get a Ph.D."

"I don't need my brother to open the back door. I have published several papers in the past few years in the United States. My supervisors in the United States said that I have a bright future. Professor An will definitely be willing to recruit me." Lin Fanghua said proudly.

"Professor An is now cooperating with our newly introduced Professor Zhang Yihua on the research of steam turbine blade materials. You are here to participate in this project. These two are top talents in China. You can learn a lot from doing research with them. A lot of things." Lin Zhenhua said.

Lin Fanghua said: "Great, brother, let me tell you, I have actually been exposed to the subject of steam turbine blade materials in the United States. Maybe I can show a little hand in front of them by then."

"That's called a mouse lifting the curtain and showing a small hand." He Lan said, this little girl has been in Beijing for these years, and she has learned all the witty words of Beijing children.

"Okay, that's it for now." Lin Zhenhua said, "Our current tasks are very tight, and all relevant technical personnel are already working at full capacity. Xiaofang, you go back to Xunyang to have a look, and then Hurry up and come back to Beijing, and join the project team earlier, so you can have more access to the whole research process."

"Okay, I will do it as soon as possible." Lin Fanghua promised.

"Xiaolin, don't be too nervous." He Haifeng said, "In terms of time, the Petroleum Corporation does not have a strict deadline. You can complete the overall design in one year, and complete the equipment manufacturing in three years." And construction, it’s about the same, don’t stretch the strings too tightly.”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Old He, don't worry, I will be careful. In fact, it is not me who is anxious now, but those engineers who are anxious. Everyone has been looking forward to it for many years, and they are all holding their breath. Now it is finally difficult There is an opportunity, and none of you want to make something as soon as possible. By the way, Lao He, we plan to hold a swearing-in meeting next month, and then we will invite Director He to give an important speech to everyone in person."

"Haha, Xiao Lin will also engage in this set of false formalism now?" He Haifeng laughed, "However, it's good to have a ceremony to boost morale. I will definitely go there when the time comes, but there will be no important speeches. Everyone should be cheering."
