82: Chapter 82 Zhou Fan solved the rocket problem?

Fanmi Technology, in front of the office building.

Lei Jun, Zhou Guangming, Lin Wenwu, and other core members of Fanmi were waiting at the main entrance, their expressions somewhat serious.

"Why isn't Engineer Zhou here yet?"

Lin Wenwu looked towards the direction of the warehouse base and suddenly asked.

"He didn't answer his phone. He's probably busy. We've already informed Lin Shuang. With us here, it shouldn't be a problem!" Lei Jun replied, also glancing towards the warehouse base.

"I still feel a bit uneasy..." Zhou Guangming furrowed his brow, unable to hold back.

The authorities suddenly came to give an award, yet none of them knew the reason... This whole situation was confusing, and they weren't sure how to handle it later.

"Did that Commissioner Meng not mention anything?" Lin Wenwu couldn't help but look at Lei Jun again.

"No. Let's just play it by ear!" Lei Jun shook his head slightly. He had wanted to ask too, but Meng Ziang hung up too quickly, and he didn't feel it was appropriate to call back.

After all, receiving an award from above while being clueless about the reason was somewhat embarrassing. How could they have the nerve to ask again...

"..." The group fell silent. Despite their lingering doubts, they also felt a surge of excitement. Whatever the case, an award from above was ultimately good news.

"They're here!!" Lei Jun suddenly announced.

At the far end of the cement road, several vehicles with official license plates appeared, followed closely by a business van marked with 'Hangzhou City Television'.

"Isn't this a bit too grand? Even the TV station is here!" Li Guoqiang couldn't help but exclaim, unconsciously straightening his posture.

The others followed suit.

The convoy quickly stopped in front of the main gate of Fanmi Company.

The doors of several vehicles opened simultaneously, and a group of people stepped out one after another.

After the TV station's van stopped, two people also got out. One shouldered a camera and started recording, while a female reporter with a microphone followed the group over.

"Is that... a plaque?"

Lei Jun was momentarily stunned but quickly regained his composure and stepped forward to greet them.

Lin Wenwu and the others watched as the group unloaded a plaque draped in red cloth from the vehicle, momentarily bewildered.

Receiving an official plaque was something they had never encountered before!

"CEO Lei, this is Director Zheng from the Hangzhou Planning Center!"

Meng Ziang, walking beside Zheng Guochang, introduced him as soon as Lei Jun approached.

"Director Zheng, hello! Department Head Meng, thank you for making the trip. We are truly a bit embarrassed!" Lei Jun said with a smile, slightly bowing, his tone humble.

"CEO Lei, you are too modest. Fanmi Company is truly full of talent. Your rapid rise in the smartphone field recently has drawn significant attention from the higher-ups!"

Zheng Guochang looked at Lei Jun with a smile, but his gaze swept over the people behind him. However, as he had never met Zhou Fan, he couldn't be sure and suppressed his curiosity, exchanging a few more pleasantries with Lei Jun.

Afterwards, the group entered the Fanmi office building.

"CEO Lei, this plaque was specially instructed by the higher-ups as an award for your company's achievements in technological innovation. We hope you will maintain this momentum and contribute more to the nation's technological development!"

The civil servants carrying the plaque stepped forward.

Zheng Guochang and Meng Ziang exchanged a glance and together lifted the red cloth.

[Model Enterprise for Technological Innovation]

The large characters entered Lei Jun's field of vision.

A wave of excitement surged within him, but he also felt immense pressure.

Truth be told, he was still somewhat confused, but seeing the words on the plaque, his expression involuntarily turned serious.

He understood clearly that this plaque represented undeniable honor, but even more so, it represented responsibility—the nation's affirmation of Fanmi's technological innovation and a form of supervision over Fanmi's future development.

"Keep up the good work. The path for the rise of Huaxia Technology may be difficult, but have no reservations, for the nation will always be your most solid backing!"

Zheng Guochang looked at Lei Jun and spoke solemnly, his tone firm.

"Thank you, the nation, and Director Zheng for recognizing Fanmi. We will uphold our original aspirations and strive even harder!"

Lei Jun accepted the plaque. Hearing words that carried the weight of a thousand pounds, his heart burned with fervor.

While Fanmi currently faced significant pressure, at this moment, he was filled with confidence.

Because the arrival of Zheng Guochang and the others meant Fanmi was not fighting alone!

The foreign giants were indeed powerful, and the path for Huaxia Technology to catch up with Western nations was fraught with thorns.

He didn't know if Fanmi could endure and carve its own path through these thorns, but since the direction was chosen, they should possess an unwavering momentum.

From the moment Zhou Fan proposed the self-developed system, he had sensed this momentum in that young man. And now, looking at Lin Wenwu and the others around him, the fiery determination shining in their eyes...

His own resolve grew even stronger!!

Fanmi's real war was only just beginning!!

After the plaque presentation ceremony concluded, the reporters on-site dispersed.

Lei Jun led Zheng Guochang and the others to the reception room.

"CEO Lei, could you introduce me to your chief technology officer?" Zheng Guochang finally couldn't hold back. His gaze swept over Zhou Guangming and the others as he asked with a smile.

Clearly, he assumed Zhou Fan was among them.

Lei Jun's heart tightened, and he instinctively glanced towards the meeting room door.

Zhou Guangming and the others also tensed up, inwardly groaning.

They hadn't expected Director Zheng to specifically mention Zhou Fan. But now, with him not here... where were they supposed to find someone to introduce...

At this moment, Meng Ziang noticed the odd expressions on Lei Jun and the others' faces. A thought struck him, and he asked with some surprise:

"Don't you know? A significant reason for this award is that your chief technology officer solved a major problem for the nation's rocket engineering project!"

"Rocket engineering!!"

Lei Jun blurted out, then suddenly understood.

No wonder the authorities had suddenly awarded Fanmi. The key reason was actually because of Zhou Fan!!

Zhou Guangming and the others also exchanged bewildered looks. They had no idea when Zhou Fan had secretly accomplished such a major feat. There hadn't been a single hint of news before.

Quickly, Lei Jun pieced it together, guessing it was likely the new material Zhou Fan had developed while at school. At the time, he hadn't paid much attention, thinking it was just an ordinary research achievement.

He never imagined it would cause such a stir, even being applied to the nation's rocket engineering project!!

After the shock subsided, Lei Jun felt a bit helpless. He offered a wry smile to Zheng Guochang. "My apologies, Director Zheng, this is our oversight... Zhou Fan should be arriving soon. Let me give him another call..."

"It's no problem. We came on rather short notice!" Zheng Guochang didn't mind, saying cheerfully, "It's just that I'm genuinely quite curious about your remarkable talent!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the meeting room door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Everyone's gaze instinctively turned towards it.

"Engineer Zhou!"

"Zhou Fan!!"

Lei Jun's eyes immediately lit up.

Zhou Fan walked in from outside, accompanied by Chang Hongsheng and Qin Weimin.
