Capital. Equipment Department!

Zhou Yang and Liu Yunlong had just arrived downstairs at the equipment department when they saw a young man in military uniform waiting for them.

Later, under the leadership of this young man, Zhou Yang and others walked into the office building.

However, what Zhou Yang didn't expect was that when he went up the stairs to the fourth floor and was about to turn right, he was stopped by this young soldier: "Director Zhou, the chief's office is no longer on the fourth floor. Can you follow me?"

Just come!”

With a trace of doubt, Zhou Yang followed the young soldier to the fifth floor and stopped in front of an office at the back.

When Zhou Yang saw the door number hanging on the office, he was shocked.

"minister?"

Isn't Mr. Jiang the deputy minister? Why is the minister's office hanging at the door? Is this because he has been promoted or...

But before Zhou Yang could think about it, the young soldier knocked on the office door, and then he was called in.

At this time, Mr. Jiang was leaning on his desk processing documents.

Seeing Zhou Yang coming in, he immediately raised his head and said, "Sit down for a while, I'll deal with this document first, and I'll talk to you later!"

"Okay, you are busy first!"

After saying that, Zhou Yang sat down on the sofa next to him.

While Mr. Jiang was handling things, Zhou Yang immediately looked at the office in front of him.

The office area is very large and spacious, with an area of ​​34 square meters as far as the eye can see, and the interior is also very well decorated. In addition to the common desks, bookshelves, and filing cabinets, there are also two rows of beige sofas near the door.

In addition, there is a closed door on the right side of the desk.

As expected, it should be a suite for resting.

Overall, this kind of office is definitely the best in this era.

Judging from the situation in the office alone, Zhou Yang felt that there was an 80% chance that Mr. Jiang would be promoted.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He knew that Mr. Jiang was going to take charge of the equipment department, and it was precisely because of this that he wanted to hug this man's thigh, because it was thick enough.

But according to Zhou Yang's knowledge, Mr. Jiang's promotion to the head of the equipment department should be in September next year. Unexpectedly, this time in this life is actually a year and a half earlier.

Although Zhou Yang didn't know which link had the problem, he knew that it had to do with him because he believed the butterfly effect was real.

A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, flapping its wings occasionally, can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.

What this passage means is that in a dynamic system, small changes in initial conditions can drive long-term huge chain reactions of the entire system.

But in this life, he is the butterfly flapping its wings!

Although he didn't do anything earth-shattering, the life trajectories of the people around him have changed more or less, such as Li Youwei and Bao'er, and those in the Li family, as well as Yan Gengdong, Lao Zhangtou

, Li Changqing, Wang Yongqing, etc.

But Zhou Yang didn't expect that his little butterfly could even influence a big boss like Mr. Jiang.

While Zhou Yang was deep in thought, Mr. Jiang's voice came to his ears: "Are you done with the work over there?"

"It's almost done, now we're just waiting for the leader's approval!"

"That's good!"

Then Mr. Jiang couldn't help but said: "To be honest, when you asked people from the military to participate in this plan last year, we all thought that it was just an anti-aircraft gun to fight mosquitoes. It was really overkill. I didn't expect that you were just playing it.

So big!”

"The sickle project is indeed developing relatively smoothly. Even I didn't expect this!" Zhou Yang said modestly.

"Not necessarily. If someone else said this, I would believe it. But when you say this, I totally don't believe it!" said Mr. Jiang.

"Hey, why do people believe you when they say you are old, but don't believe me when I say you are old?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"You kid has eight hundred minds, and briquettes are not as sharp as you. Wouldn't you have thought?"

"Are you saying this to praise me or to hurt me? It sounds so awkward!"

“Experience it for yourself!”

Zhou Yang didn't think too much, but asked with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, I see that the sign in your office has changed. Has it been promoted?"

"Well, promoted!"

"Why don't I know anything about what happened?" Zhou Yang said in surprise.

"It's just the past two days. As for why you don't know about this, I don't know!" said Mr. Jiang.

"Congratulations on making great progress, but now that you are the head of the Equipment Department, can you allocate more funds for our scientific research?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"No one like you can do anything like this. Besides, do you still need our funding for this?"

"Why don't you use it? You don't know how difficult our life is. Many people are eating..."

"Hmph, what's wrong with many people? Are they getting fat because of eating, or are they suffering from high blood pressure and high blood lipids?"

Then Mr. Jiang said again: "How dare you cry to me about your poverty? See if I can slap you!"

"If you don't give it, I won't give it. Why do you still want to beat someone up!"

"Hmph, don't think that I don't know about the situation of your Babao Liang Institute. Last year, in addition to the 800,000 research funds allocated by the superior department, your institute also received 7.8 million in equipment purchases. In addition, it also made a lot of money by selling college entrance examination materials.

One million, how big a sum of money is this!"

Then Mr. Jiang continued: "You are now in need of funds, talents, and projects. Is it okay to reach out to the ministry again?"

"You always check us carefully!"

"It's not that I want to investigate you, but there are always people making trouble with you, so I can only find something to silence them!" said Mr. Jiang.

"Whoever is making trouble with us? We have always been careful and diligent in our work, and we have not offended anyone!" Zhou Yang said.

"Your research institute is still low-key. It sells college entrance examination materials and is the top scorer in the province. I heard that reporters from the provincial newspaper are stationed in your small village. I am not surprised that enemy agents came to your village to cause sabotage that day!"

Mr. Jiang complained.

"Well...it's not because of lack of funds. I want to do some side business, but I didn't expect..."

"Don't say you didn't expect it, this is the result you want!"

Zhou Yang was so speechless that he didn't know how to answer, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.

At this time, Mr. Jiang said again: "I am not criticizing you, but as a military scientific research unit, you are indeed a bit high-profile!"

"Yes, we will pay attention to it in the future!" Zhou Yang said hurriedly.

He didn't dare to choke at this time. If he offended this person and asked them to close the printing factory, the loss would be too great.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Mr. Jiang suddenly asked.

"I...don't know!"

“Did you know that this year’s scientific research funding was suddenly cut so much?”

"You know, there are problems in the country's economic operation, and it is unable to support such huge scientific research expenditures, so it has reduced scientific research funds!" Zhou Yang said.

"That's half right, but it misses the point!"

Then Mr. Jiang said again: "The national economy has already had problems, otherwise you young people would not have to go to the countryside to join the queue. But at that time, it did not affect the research and development of key plans, projects and technologies. Even if the country tightened its belt

, we must also ensure that scientific research funds are in place!”

"The reason why this happened this year is because some comrades questioned our independent research and development route. They believed that it was better to build than to buy, and to buy was better than to rent. This was the reason why the higher-ups significantly reduced their funding!"

After hearing this, Zhou Yang immediately nodded and looked like he suddenly realized something.

In fact, he already knew the reason, but the words could not come out of his mouth.

"Then what does this have to do with you calling me here?"

"I came here to hear your opinion and see if you can come up with a solution. It's so sad that so many projects are affecting research and development due to lack of funds!" Mr. Jiang said with a heartbroken look.

After hearing this, Zhou Yang fell silent...
