Tech Hammer

The commendation meeting was a perfect summary of Ning Wei’s efforts in this half-semester.

After the meeting, Ning Wei generously booked himself a high-speed rail business ticket home.

The economic foundation determines the style of conduct. After his speech at the commendation conference, the bonuses for the two papers published in "Science" were also credited to his card, totaling 600,000, all of which were paid from the Provincial Department of Science and Technology, so there was no tax deduction.

Ning Wei's personal wealth has also successfully exceeded seven figures, basically reaching his preset standard of being arrogant in front of Lao Ning.

There is another reason for buying a business ticket. He can deal with some laboratory problems on his laptop without any distractions. After all, business seats are generally quieter.

Think about it, there are more than ten associate professors and researchers working hard in the laboratory, how can he really be embarrassed to be a hands-off shopkeeper?

It wasn't until the high-speed train pulled into Yancheng West Station that Ning Wei started packing up his computer.

After getting off the bus and exiting the station, he saw the old couple waiting for him at the station entrance from a distance.

"Why, this way, this way..."

Looking at her mother's waving hands, Ning Wei trotted over quickly.

"Dad, Mom, didn't I tell you that you don't have to pick me up?"

"Hmph! You think I want to pick you up, you brat? It's not because of your Uncle Luo and your mother!"

"Don't pay attention to this old guy. Your Uncle Luo specially arranged for the master of the small car class in the factory to pick you up. We can give you a ride here without any trouble."

"Which Uncle Luo?"

"You forgot, someone came to our house to hug you before! Now that person is Uncle Luo, the director of the branch factory."

"Oh!" Ning Wei nodded.

When my dad used the example of someone who was educated to be successful, he often used Uncle Luo as an example.

He is almost becoming an inspirational role model around him.

Ning Wei even remembered what his father said after drinking: "Your father, I just suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated. If I wanted to have an education like your Uncle Luo, I might be a high-ranking party official in the factory now." !”

"Okay, hurry up and go home. Today, dad invited your former teacher and uncles and aunts to dinner. Remember to have dessert later. Otherwise, if the little girl doesn't come back with you, let's settle it together!" Lao Ning stiffened. said.

"ah?"

…

This is Ningwei’s first time enjoying bus pick-up and drop-off service.

Although it is not a high-end car, it is at least much more convenient than taking a taxi.

Of course, these are not actually important. The key is the happiness on the mother's face, which deeply touches Ning Wei.

…

It was a very enjoyable meal, and the most important thing was that Lao Ning really drank the meal.

This made Ning Wei feel a little angry. You must know that he has been waiting to be alone with this stubborn old man for a long time. He originally thought that after dinner tonight, he would teach his old man a good lesson, but who would have thought that Lao Ning did not give him a chance at all.

Well, just have to wait until the next day.

It's just a few more hours of delay.

only……

"Mom, why have you decorated your house?"

"Hey, you're not the old man at home. He thought you wanted to bring your girlfriend back, so he just renovated it. Who knew Xiaohui didn't come again? Ning Wei, what's going on with you guys?"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, so that I don't have to explain it to dad again. Besides, I really have something to talk to you about."

"Okay, you're tired from traveling today, so go get some rest early. Factory Director Luo gave your dad three days off to stay with you at home. I haven't had much work lately. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow."

…

The next morning, Ning Wei finally realized the scene in his dream and photographed his bank card in front of Lao Ning.

"Dad, Mom, there is one million in this card. You can keep it to support your family, especially you. Dad, you are a lot of age. Don't be brave. I will be enough at home in the future. I will never let you live better. It was worse before.”

Then Ning Wei brewed up his feelings, and said the words he had dreamed about countless times affectionately: "Dad! From today on, I will support you!"

Lao Ning, who was drinking porridge, paused. He didn't pay attention to Ning Wei's emotional words at all. He just looked at his son sitting opposite in surprise: "One million? Where did you get this money?"

"That's right, Ning Wei, where did you get one million?" Ning's mother was obviously shocked and asked repeatedly.

"Didn't you all listen to what those uncles and aunts said yesterday? I wrote several papers and published them in foreign journals. These are all awards given by the school. The total amount is more than one million. I kept some for my undergraduate studies. For the living expenses of four years, I kept a whole million in this card. In short, you don’t have to save so much. When I go to graduate school, I can publish more articles and make more money. Well, this is Mobile text message from the bank.”

Ning Wei took out his mobile phone, called up the account amount change notification from the bank, and handed it to the two of them to look at.

The two old men took the phone, carefully checked the number of zeros on it, and then looked at each other.

"Wait a minute, you said that if you publish a few articles in some foreign magazine, the school will give you a reward of one million? Is the money from your school brought by the strong wind? Are you really not coaxing me?" I was stunned for at least five seconds. , Lao Ning suddenly asked with his eyes wide open.

"That's not a magazine, that's called an academic journal. What I published wasn't an article, it was a paper. It's the kind of thing that can promote scientific progress. I published it as a Jiangsu student and gained face for the school, so I got a reward. Think about it, if it is an ordinary thing, is it worth CCTV giving me dozens of seconds?" Ning Wei asked in return.

After saying this, Lao Ning understood instantly.

"Oh, isn't that the same as that Xiao Yang in the factory? He writes good articles. He said he wrote an article on the history of changes in the factory and it was published in a very powerful national magazine. He also won an award and contributed to the success of the factory. After he won all the money, the factory awarded him a house. Does that mean something similar?"

Ning Wei thought for a while, then nodded and replied: "That's pretty much what it means."

"Haha, what did I say before? Only by studying can you be successful. You see, one million, don't worry, your mother and I will help you collect the money first, and you won't have to worry about buying a house in the provincial capital in the future. "Lao Ning finally felt relieved and became happy.

"Speaking of buying a house, Dad, Mom, I have something else to tell you. I have three choices now..."

Ning Wei repeated the invitations from Imperial College and Peking University and what Principal Deng had specially discussed with him, leaving the two elders dumbfounded again.

If a well-known foreign university invites his son to study, the tuition and living expenses will be free of charge?

Peking University also hopes that its children can study for a Ph.D.?

The president of Jiang University personally promised that if Ning Wei is willing to stay at the school to study for a Ph.D., he will be given the title of professor directly after graduation and will also be given a house in Jiang University?

This is too much!

This shocked the two elders even more than the one million left on the table.

This is a lifelong choice!

Ning's mother, who had remained silent for a long time but had an unbroken smile on her face, spoke hesitantly: "Ning Wei, does your Principal Deng keep his word?"

"Don't worry, Mom, it will definitely count. Look, the school said it would give me a reward, and all this million has been put into my card." Ning Wei pointed to the bank card on the table.

"Oh, then I think you should stay in school? It's close to home, it's convenient to go back and forth, and you can go home often. In the future, I will have a stable job as a professor at the university. It will give you face when you go out, and there are winter and summer vacations. It's good. Yes." Mother Ning quickly gave her opinion.

"What nonsense are you talking about?! You let your children choose to stay in Beihu when there is a chance to go to the capital? A man should be ambitious in all directions. What's the point of curling up in the comfort zone? You can't fly or take the high-speed rail when you are far away? We are not old If we can’t move and the child doesn’t have time to see us, don’t we know how to see the child?”

"Ning Wei, my son still has to listen to me. Don't go abroad. There are not many good people among those foreign devils! If you have the ability, go to Peking University and make a name for yourself in the capital. You are the one who belongs to my Ning family. Man!" Lao Ning said firmly.
