"Professor Zhang, do you mean that the Aerospace Research Institute wants me to come over and join a project?" Su Qingyun repeated Zhang Sida's words in disbelief.
"That's right." Zhang Sida nodded solemnly, "The person in charge over there personally found me."
He knew it, he knew it! This person cannot be kept in Huaqing!
"How could that happen?" Su Qingyun still couldn't believe it. Even though she had participated in two projects before, she was only a freshman now. How could the Aerospace Research Institute invite her?
In other words, what virtue and ability is she?
"General Manager Gu recommended you to the person in charge there." Zhang Sida sighed, "General Manager Gu said that you are very talented in materials research and know a lot about aerospace, so he recommended you to go there. .”
Due to the technological blockade of various countries, the development of China's aerospace industry is now slow and difficult. The person in charge of the aerospace institute will almost never let go of talented people when they see them.
"This is a good opportunity. You go back and prepare, and set off when the time comes." Zhang Sida said, "However, to go there, you have to be prepared for a long-term battle."
He had to admit that this was indeed an excellent opportunity for Su Qingyun, which was much more useful than staying in school. Besides, for her, it didn't matter whether she went to class or not.
Su Qingyun opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. She was very excited and knew that this was a good opportunity, but she still hesitated. Joining the aerospace project was part of her future plan, but she did not expect that Came so quickly.
China's aerospace industry started late and faced huge difficulties and challenges. In 1970, it successfully launched the first artificial earth satellite, Dongfanghong-1, and became the third independent launcher of artificial satellites in the world. The country subsequently launched a series of satellites, including meteorological satellites, communication satellites, resource satellites, etc., which provided strong support for the country's economic construction and military development.
Later, the country began to explore manned space technology. In 1971, China conducted the first test of the manned space program. However, it was not until the 21st century that the first manned space mission was seen. In the meantime, It took more than thirty years, and it was a long and tortuous process.
Su Qingyun knew that if she joined the aerospace project, it would mean that she would have to face countless difficulties and challenges, and would have to withstand tests and pass the time. She was not afraid of these, but what about others? For example, her family, for example, Ji Yue, can they accept it? Can they endure this long wait?
Su Qingyun hesitated for the first time.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Sida looked at her expression and asked, "Don't you want to go?"
Su Qingyun pursed her lips and said, "Professor Zhang, let me think about it again."
Zhang Sida frowned and could only nod, "Okay, you can tell me the result after you think it through."
"good."
Su Qingyun returned home with something on her mind, and Su Aimin and Qin Ying noticed it at a glance.
"What's wrong? Yunyun, why do you look so worried?" Qin Ying asked with concern.
Su Aimin was settling today's accounts, and when he saw her like this, he came over.
Looking at his parents with concerned eyes, Su Qingyun hesitated, organized his words, and then said: "Mom and Dad, there is a good research project now. I don't know whether I should participate in it?"
Invention project? Qin Ying and Su Aimin looked at each other.
Su Aimin thought for a while and said: "So, you also know that dad has no education and doesn't understand the research project you are talking about. But since you said it is very good, then go for it. Why are you hesitating?"
"Yes." Qin Ying also smiled, "Your father and I support you."
"But if I go to see this project, I don't know when I can come back. It might be a year and a half, or even three to five years. I don't know if I have a chance to come back." Su Qingyun said a possibility .
The couple were stunned, three years or five years? What project takes so long?
"this……"
If this is the case, the couple will definitely not be willing to let their daughter leave home for so long, but...
"Yunyun, this is your business. You should ask yourself, not us." Qin Ying said seriously, "You know, your dad and I will support you no matter what. Just do it if you want to."
Su Qingyun's eyes were moved. She knew that her parents would support her unconditionally, but because of this, she felt even more guilty. Is it really right to insist on her own ideas and the path she wants to take?
She began to hesitate and doubt.
"By the way, that's it." Su Aimin suddenly thought of a question, "If you go to the program you mentioned and go for so long, what will happen to your studies? Don't you stop going to school?"
Su Qingyun was stunned. She had been thinking about whether she wanted to go or not, but she had ignored the issue of her studies. If the return date was really uncertain, she really had to make preparations early.
"I'll think about it carefully." Su Qingyun finally said.
Qin Ying looked at her daughter with gentle eyes, and she touched her head, "Yunyun, there are many roads that people have to take in this life, and there may be many detours, but the most important thing is not to let yourself regret it."
"We are your parents, but we are only your parents. You need to make your own choices in life. What we can do is support and accept you, instead of letting us become your hindrance and unable to let go."
"Your mother is right." Su Aimin agreed, "Whether you go or not, just think about it carefully and don't regret your decision."
"Okay, I understand." Su Qingyun nodded heavily.
After telling his parents, Su Qingyun thought about it and told Ji Yue frankly about it.
Ji Yue was silent for a long time without speaking.
"I know that it would be unfair to you if I went to this project."
"I also know that I can't force you to accept and support my decision." Su Qingyun said in a low tone, "I'm sorry, I'm really not a qualified candidate."
She had to admit that there were some things in her heart that were more important than her own feelings. Feelings were part of her life, not all of it. This might not be fair to Ji Yue.
When Ji Yue met her eyes, his eyes were dark, as deep as a whirlpool.
"There is no standard for a qualified partner in this world. Everyone is different. You are also unique to me. There is no other Su Qingyun in the world, and no one can be like you. "
"So, there is nothing unfair. You have your own ideal pursuit. I am very happy. My love for you should be the wings for you to fly, not the shackles that imprison you. You don't need to say sorry to me."
"This is a good opportunity, so you should seize it. If you want to go, just go. Likewise, if I have such a good opportunity, I will do my best to seize it."
Ji Yue smiled, his smile warm and bright, "No matter when you come back, I will be waiting for you."
Su Qingyun felt a little sour in her heart, "I seem to have been asking you to stand there and wait for me."
"For me, waiting is not a torment." Ji Yue's handsome face was full of tenderness, "On the contrary, every day that passes brings you one day closer to your return, which makes every day of my life full of expectations. "
"So, do whatever you want to do."
Su Qingyun's eyes widened, holding back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, "Okay."
She is so lucky to have the support of her family and the understanding of her lover, which are the driving force for her to move forward.
Su Qingyun thought for a long time and went to Zhang Sida's office.
"How's it going? Have you thought about it?" Zhang Sida asked. He was a little afraid of Su Qingyun's rejection. After all, for someone who appreciates talents, this is undoubtedly a huge opportunity.
"I have thought about it." Su Qingyun smiled slightly, "Professor Zhang, I have decided to go."
"That's good."
"But..." Su Qingyun changed the subject, "I want to go after this semester is over."
"Why?" Zhang Sida frowned in confusion.
"Professor Zhang, what I mean is that I want to complete my entire college studies this semester and graduate early." Su Qingyun finished her thoughts seriously.
"What?" Zhang Sida was shocked, "Graduate early?"
"Yes." Su Qingyun nodded, "The aerospace project is arduous and long. If I go, my return date will definitely be uncertain. I want to be prepared to take root there for a long time, so if I want to finish my studies ahead of schedule, it will be a big deal for me. It gives me nothing to worry about."
"This..." Zhang Sida hesitated, "There is no such precedent in our school, but I can go to the principal to apply."
"Okay, then I'll help you." Su Qingyun thanked him.
Zhang Sida nodded and went directly to Zhang Huaizhi without delay.
After Zhang Huaizhi heard what he said, he was silent for a long time and then suddenly laughed, "This is a good thing."
"A good thing?" Zhang Sida was confused, "Principal, I don't understand."
"This shows that girl Qingyun really thought carefully about the decision she made. She is mentally prepared to contribute to the aerospace industry, which is a good thing for us. Before she achieves greater achievements, she graduates early, isn't it us? A Huaqing graduate has left? In the future, her life guide will always have our Huaqing name."
Zhang Sida suddenly realized, "Yes, just letting her go out as a graduate of our school will only add glory to Huaqing."
Zhang Huaizhi smiled but said nothing. On the one hand, on the other hand, he also really wanted to support Su Qingyun. He said that this child's future was limitless and no one or thing could stop her.
Soon, Zhang Sida conveyed the school's final decision to Su Qingyun. As long as she could pass their special graduation exam at the end of this semester, she would be allowed to graduate early.
On the other side, the Aerospace Research Institute is also willing to wait a little longer.
After all, talents are rare and good things come hard.
