Chapter 280: Confidential Speech, Wang Xing Calls

Xu Qingshan was not embarrassed. He stood upright on the stage and looked around at everyone present with eyes filled with fearlessness, as if he was interrogating everyone's heart with his eyes full of wisdom.

Are you ready to contribute to your country and fight passionately?
Are you ready to give up your fantasies and break through with technology?

The people in the audience did not speak, they were waiting for the leaders on the stage to express their opinions, but Xu Qingshan did not need to wait because he had already expressed his opinions.

He was very clear that from today on, he would be regarded as a representative of the scientific hawk faction in the scientific community, at least in the Chinese scientific community.

Even though he didn't know whether such a faction existed.

“Comrade Xu Qingshan’s views.”

The big leader looked at Leader Deng again and spoke slowly.

“It is very consistent with the possible changes in the current international situation.”

"I personally also hope that all the outstanding young scientists can contribute their energy and light to support the future of China."

Simple words that make the point.

In fact, at the national level, China's top leaders have always been firm and clear in their stance.

Adhere to the development of the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, adhere to independence and self-reliance, and develop the country through science and technology.

They have always persisted in doing so and have been doing so.

Xu Qingshan did not speak, but bowed to the leaders on the stage and then bowed to the young scientists below the stage to conclude his speech.

The moment he stepped out of the podium, enthusiastic applause filled the spacious and bright conference hall.

The leader on the stage waved to the secretary standing beside the stage and whispered a few words. Then the secretary quickly left the venue and the leader picked up the microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let the leader of the Science and Technology Association speak briefly. Please be patient and extend the meeting for ten minutes."

After that, a leader of the Science and Technology Association took the microphone and began to interact briefly with the young scholars in the audience.

A moment later, the secretary who had just left came in from outside with a thick stack of documents in his arms, but the footsteps were not just his alone, there were also uniform footsteps following behind him.

A scholar sitting near the door accidentally took a look and was stunned.

Isn't this a meeting being held in the Great Hall? How come the armed police force would enter directly into the Great Hall?

Moreover, they did not directly break into the hall. Instead, they guarded all the entrances and exits as if they were under martial law.

The leader who had just announced the extension of the meeting picked up the microphone again and spoke with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to ask you to sign this confidentiality agreement in this way."

The leader still had a gentle smile on his face.

Xu Qingshan was stunned in the audience.

Confidentiality agreement?

"I hope everyone can keep the content of today's meeting confidential, especially Comrade Xu's speech. I don't want the outside world to hear any rumors that something is wrong."

Even though the leader was still laughing at this time.

But some people in the audience already had sweat on their foreheads.

Some people with a keen sense of smell have already noticed what this posture and this operation mean.

Xu Qingshan’s speech today was too radical, but it also represented the country’s determination in this regard.

On the one hand, they do not want this attitude to spread to the outside world and arouse the vigilance of the Western system, although in fact they have always been on guard.

On the other hand, it was for Xu Qingshan's safety.

Although the country is happy with Xu Qingshan's attitude, which is obviously a hawkish one for China, it also does not want Xu Qingshan to be targeted by foreign forces in academics or security because of his tough stance.

This is not alarmist.

Every year, foreign spies use various means to target the country's top and outstanding experts.

No one dares to say no to the leader.

The meeting ended only after the confidentiality agreement was signed and a second security check was completed, and everyone began to leave in an orderly manner.

Xu Qingshan had originally planned to follow the crowd. He himself did not expect that such an impromptu speech today would cause such a big commotion. He still underestimated the value and importance of speaking in a place like the Great Hall.

"Comrade Xu, wait a moment."

When Xu Qingshan and Chen Dayue got up to leave, the secretary who had just sent out the confidentiality agreement came over and stopped Xu Qingshan.

"Hello, may I ask?"

Xu Qingshan looked at Chen Dayue, then at the secretary.

"The leaders want to see you."

The secretary said politely.

"At this?"

"In the small conference room in the back."

"This"

"Then I'll wait for you outside."

Chen Dayue patted Xu Qingshan on the shoulder and left tactfully.

At times like this, the less you know, the safer you are.

Xu Qingshan could only follow the secretary to another passageway as the leaders had already left the stage.

A moment later, they arrived at a quiet conference room. The bigwigs who were on the stage just now were sitting in a row in the conference room, and a chair was reserved for Xu Qingshan in the middle opposite.

This scene.

Xu Qingshan's eyelids twitched.

Why does it feel so much like the civil service examination?
"Comrade Qingshan, please sit down."

Leader Deng smiled and raised his hand.

Just now on the podium in the Great Hall, she was not the leading person, but now in this small room, with the same team, she became the protagonist.

"Hello, leaders."

Xu Qingshan is very well-behaved.

The big guys in front of him are old enough to be his grandparents.

"Don't be nervous, we are just here to briefly explain the situation to you."

Leader Deng smiled and waved his hand.

Simple explanation?
Xu Qingshan looked at the bosses in front of him who were all looking at him with a smile, and felt that there seemed to be a small problem in his understanding of the word "simple".

"Although we emphasized that we signed a confidentiality agreement regarding your speech at the meeting today, the confidentiality may not last long, so we still need to be prepared."

Leader Deng looked at the list in his hand, circling something with a pen, and talked to Xu Qingshan.

"Today's speech actually feels okay. Is it sensitive?"

Xu Qingshan swallowed his saliva. Why did he feel that his speech had been elevated to an infinitely higher level?

Leader Deng smiled.

"If you said this at Kyoto University, it would be fine, but if you said it in the Great Hall, the meaning would be different."

After saying that, she turned her head and looked at the senior leaders beside her, then looked at Xu Qingshan.

"Especially since we support your speech, that's even more different."

Xu Qingshan smiled awkwardly but politely.

"But you can rest assured that your level will be relatively low in foreign countries considering the current situation in our country."

Leader Deng continued.

"It's not because your contribution and achievements are small, but because the primary targets of foreign countries are military industry, especially rockets, nuclear weapons and other fields, followed by communications engineering. For now, if you have been working on basic disciplines in the theoretical field, it is still very safe. At most, they will send people to contact you and poach you."

Xu Qingshan nodded.

"If necessary, put your own safety first." "Okay."

"Then it's all right. We've upgraded your file. Don't worry, everything will be back to normal when you get back."

"clear."

Xu Qingshan was escorted out of the meeting room by his secretary again.

After Xu Qingshan left, the bigwigs in the conference room spoke.

"Is this kid really an angry young man or is he just acting because he has been exposed to it?"

"He is indeed much more mature than I expected. It is hard to believe that he is only 19 years old. But judging from his attitude, it should be true."

"As long as we confirm that they are reliable, we can focus our resources on training them without any worries, right?"

"No need to discuss this for now, just keep observing."

Leader Deng put away the list and handed it to the secretary beside him.

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

Let’s not talk about the secret here for now.

Xu Qingshan walked out of the Great Hall and felt the cold wind blowing in his face. When he woke up, he saw Chen Dayue wrapped in a down jacket, standing outside with his hands clasped and stamping his feet.

"Are you okay?"

Chen Dayue sniffed and his nose turned red again.

Xu Qingshan shook his head.

"It's okay. Do you want to know what we just talked about?"

Xu Qingshan chuckled, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Chen Dayue provocatively.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say anything. I don't want to know. Let's go back to school. Don't say anything! Don't tell me anything. I don't know anything."

Chen Dayue quickly turned around and walked outside without even stopping.

"Hey, this old man."

Xu Qingshan also put his hands into his sleeves.

Chen Dayue had just handed him the suit, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to squeeze into the suit cuffs. He followed Chen Dayue towards the car.

After everything was done, Xu Qingshan returned to Yandong Garden.

Jiang Huanxi had a lot of exams these days. Tong Tong was training in the training team during the day, so he was the only one in the room. He simply tidied up the various materials spread out in the room and looked at the time. It was three o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, if you go to the Institute of Mathematics, you will basically have to come back soon and won't stay for long.

Moreover, the two students did not contact me today, so they probably did not encounter any major problems in their research or work.

Do you rest in the house or go out for a walk?

Xu Qingshan sat in the rocking chair on the balcony, thinking as he rocked.

Then the phone rang.

When he picked it up, he saw that it was an unfamiliar number that he had not saved, so he answered the call casually.

"Hello, who are you?"

Xu Qingshan looked at the snow outside the window and drank hot tea comfortably.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Xu Qingshan?"

The other person's voice was a little hoarse and weathered, and very low, as if he had been up all night for many nights.

Xu Qingshan felt that the voice was vaguely familiar, but for a moment he couldn't match it with the voice in his memory.

"Yes."

"Mr. Xu, I'm Wang Xing."

The person on the other side quickly revealed his identity. Xu Qingshan raised his eyebrows and looked at the date: January 1th.

"We met once before at Mr. Cai's cocktail party. I was the Wang Xing from Pengcheng Fanfu, the one with the buzz cut and the glasses. Do you remember me?"

Wang Xing asked very cautiously.

The attitude is somewhat humble.

Xu Qingshan had no intention of playing with his mentality and answered immediately.

"Senior Wang Xing, long time no see, why do you suddenly want to call me?"

Xu Qingshan gave Wang Xing a way out.

It can also be regarded as his respect for Wang Xing.

"Um, Junior Brother Xu, you should be in Beijing now, right? Congratulations on your great achievements this year."

Perhaps Wang Xing had not felt such unchanging respect for a long time. His voice was a little stuttered and he stammered as he praised Xu Qingshan's achievements. Those things were reported in the news and newspapers, and there were many discussions on social media. Wang Xing naturally knew about them.

Xu Qingshan did not interrupt him impatiently, but listened to him with a smile and chatted with him for a few more words.

But Xu Qingshan's attitude towards Wang Xing became better and better.

Wang Xing's topic did not lead in the direction he originally intended.

In a shabby little hotel in the south of Beijing, Wang Xing was wiping his nose next to the radiator, while holding his cell phone and chatting with Xu Qingshan on the line.

There were dark circles under his eyes and he looked quite haggard.

"You will definitely be able to become an academician in the future. That's really amazing. I was always ranked last in the class, third from the bottom, fifth from the bottom."

As Wang Xing was talking, his eyes inexplicably became red.

He wiped his tears, and the words he wanted to ask Xu Qingshan to look at the investment plan came to his lips, but he couldn't say them.

He was afraid that if he said it out loud, he would not be respected.

"Senior, we are from the same hometown, what can't we talk about? If you want to invite me to dinner and chat, that's fine, but you have to say it directly, otherwise I'm afraid my girlfriend will misunderstand if we talk on the phone for so long, hahaha."

Xu Qingshan's relaxed and cheerful voice came from the phone.

Wang Xing was stunned. He could understand the meaning of Xu Qingshan's words.

"I'm in Beijing right now. I wonder if you can meet me for dinner if there's a chance. I have something to discuss with you regarding a project."

Wang Xing hesitated, but still said it.

But after saying this, he felt a little nervous, afraid that he would be rejected by Xu Qingshan like the others.

"Okay, no problem. Let's eat together tonight. I'll drive over to pick you up now."

Xu Qingshan agreed immediately.

After asking Wang Xing to tell him the address, Xu Qingshan got up, changed his clothes and got the keys.

He sent a message to Tong Tong, telling her that he would not be eating at home tonight as he had to go out to do something. He also sent a text message to Jiang Huanxi, asking her how many classes she had to take in the next few days, and then went out in the snow.

The black Maybach is very conspicuous in the white snow world.

Wang Xing stood by the window in a daze, not knowing how long it had been before he saw the conspicuous Maybach parked in front of the small, shabby hotel.

"Dingle bell bell bell bell"

His cell phone rang.

"Hey, senior, I'm here. Do you want to come down or should I go up?"

"I'll be right down."

Wang Xing looked in the mirror, wiped his face vigorously, walked out of the dark guest room and went downstairs.

Xu Qingshan sat in the car, looking at this shabby-looking small hotel, and he was a little confused.

Although Wang Xing must have failed several times in his business ventures and Fanfou was hopeless, he should still have money, right? How did he fall to this point?

With this doubt in mind, Xu Qingshan saw Wang Xing coming out of the hotel wearing a knitted hat.
