Living like a salted fish in the end times

Chapter 189 Returning to Yicheng

After signing the contract, the group left WFP with satisfaction. It can be said that this negotiation far exceeded expectations.

On the way back, Zhang Hao couldn't wait to make a thank you call to Mayor Chen.

"Mayor Chen, thank you very much."

"Mr. Zhang is being polite. I'm just responsible for reporting to the higher authorities. I never expected that Consul Ji would pay so much attention to it. To be honest, I was quite surprised."

Mayor Chen said modestly.

He probably guessed some of Ji Zhangqiu's thoughts. Once the federation fully mastered the technology of "controllable nuclear fusion", it would be equivalent to choking the necks of the major regions.

At that time, the integration will be truly realized.

This is destined to be a long process. Although there is no hope in the short term, the effect is once and for all. No wonder the Federation attaches so much importance to it.

Of course, there may be other reasons, but he didn't think of it for the time being, so let's see and do.

It was not Zhou Xiaofu who opened the door, but Zhou Xiaofu's mother-in-law, Fan Ping: "Xiaofu's mother? Is it you? Didn't you go to Huicheng to enjoy the blessing?"

Zhang Hao thought for a while and replied.

Mother Zhou excitedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Mayor Chen hurriedly asked.

Zhang Hao finally nodded: "Okay, it's not a problem to sleep on the ticket, and we will leave in three days."

The old man has long wanted to go back and have a look, but the old Zhang family is worried that she will walk alone, and the son-in-law is always busy with work, which has been delayed until now.

Li Dajuan quickly reminded.

Originally, the eldest son-in-law was about to remarry, so she should go back to the younger daughter's house, but in the current situation, she didn't want to burden the younger daughter, so she could only stay with the eldest son-in-law with the cheek.

Consul Ji is so powerful, he also wants to reciprocate, and it is definitely right to keep up with the opponent.

"Mom, I'll take you there!"

"Mother-in-law, there is no sleeper ticket for the high-speed rail."

Mother Zhou shook her head.

The city of Yicheng is relatively small, and within half an hour, the group arrived at Zhou Xiaofu's house.

Zhang Chongxin looked directly at his son:
"Xiao Hao, you can bring your mother-in-law! With your relationship, you should be able to buy a sleeping ticket, right?"

"That's fine, please."

"No problem, in fact, we can start preparing now." Zhang Hao said without hesitation.

Zhang Hao nodded with a smile.

"Do you need help from the city?"

Three days later, Zhang Hao set off with his mother-in-law.

Zhou's mother thought for a while, and finally compromised:
"Well, after taking the train for so long, you can rest in Yicheng for one night, and go to Feicheng tomorrow."

"Where does Zhang Dong plan to start?"

It seems that the above is farther ahead than he thought. Originally, he just wanted to integrate the local scientific research team and absorb a wave of relevant talents from the refugees.

"It's hard to say exactly, it could be as short as two or three days, or as long as ten days and a half a month."

Zhou's mother was very happy, and asked closely.

"Dong dong dong..."

In order to show my sincerity, I have to go there in person anyway, and I have to convince the local officials.

Zhang Hao showed a smile.

He also listened to what the customers in the store said.

"Of course it is necessary. I hope the city can greet the Feicheng officials in advance. EAST is a super big project, and Feicheng may not be willing to let it go."

"Taxi is not necessarily safe, what if someone sees money and wants to do it?"

Zhang Hao shrugged.

"Xiaohao, how long will this business trip take?"

Zhang Hao couldn't help persuading.

"I know. Doesn't the high-speed rail have that first-class parking space? I heard that you can lie down and sleep."

Zhang Chongxin patiently explained.

Bai Jian lost his job last year. At the beginning of the year, he was admitted to the police establishment. As we all know, being a policeman is very hard and disciplined. It is difficult to take long vacations.

After returning home, Zhang Hao immediately called Consul Ji. The two sides did not have a deep conversation, but ended the call after a brief chat.

In any case, EAST (Eastern Super Ring) is the first fully superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device designed and built locally and put into operation. The project has a large investment and involves a lot.

That's it.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao persuaded again: "Mom, why don't you do this? When I return, I will call Xiaofu and the others together. Do you think it's okay?"

"Mom, Xiaofu and the others promised to come over for the Chinese New Year this year, why are you so anxious?"

"It's okay, isn't there still a bed ticket? I can survive." Zhou's mother insisted.

Zhou's mother brought a lot of things with her, most of which were various ingredients, among which bacon, air-dried meat and cooking oil were mostly, which were also the most scarce at the moment.

"Don't be so troublesome. It's not easy to find a job now. Bai Jian finally found a new job. It's probably not easy to ask for leave, so don't make things difficult for them two."

"Okay, listen to you."

After taking the train for two days and one night, I arrived in Yicheng.

Zhang Hao nodded, and then asked: "Director Yu, may I ask, do you have any other orders from Consul Ji? Or is there a special request?"

"No, no, I'm familiar with this place, and I can go back with my eyes closed."

Mayor Chen tentatively said: "Mr. Zhang, since the higher authorities attach so much importance to this project, do you think we can advance the start time?"

"Both of you made a mistake. The high-speed rail now also has sleeper tickets, which are changed to first-class cabins. After all, a slightly longer distance will take more than ten hours. People in poor health can't stand it at all."

Li Dajuan followed up and persuaded: "Mother-in-law, Huizhou is more than 1000 kilometers away from Feicheng, and it takes at least one day and one night to take the train. You are so old, how can you bear it?"

"I'll just take a taxi."

Zhang Hao pointed to the luggage in the hands of the bodyguards: "How can you get so many things by yourself? Besides, the security is not good now, so it's better to give them away."

Zhou's mother's eyes lit up: "Xiaohao, it seems that you have to pass through Yicheng when you go to Feicheng, right? I want to go back with you to see Xiaofu."

"I understand."

……

Mother Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Enough is enough, enough time."

Although her daughter had already reported that she was safe, she still wanted to go back, and she was worried if she didn't see it with her own eyes.

During dinner time, Zhang Hao talked about his business trip.

Mayor Chen chuckled: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, this is nothing more than an exchange of benefits. Besides, EAST is a big burden now, and the Feicheng officials should not refuse."

Poor parents all over the world, he understands his mother-in-law very well.

"This winter is colder than last year. What if the train stops? It's better for me to go back by myself while it's summer."

"In a few days, I plan to go to Feicheng in person and talk to the EAST project team. The environment in the inland area is more difficult. Let's try to move the entire project here."

"There is indeed one thing. Consul Ji asked me to tell you, don't be afraid to spend money. The 'Controlled Nuclear Fusion' project does not have to be limited to the local area. You can go overseas to seek technical cooperation. This is a long-term project."

"Mother-in-law, it's me. I came back specially to see Xiaofu and the others."

"Oh, come in, who are these?"

"This is Xiaofu's brother-in-law, Zhang Hao, who came back with me along the way. The others are his bodyguards."

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
