The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master Chapter 803

Chapter 803 Let's dance

Originally, if it were normal, Chang Haonan would have stayed in Shengjing for one night after completing the airport pick-up.

But the situation today is quite special.

December 31, 1999.

Strictly speaking, the last year of the 20th century is 2000, not 1999, and the first year of the new century is not until 2001.

But people invented the concept of "millennium", which made this day very popular.

At this time in the last life, Chang Haonan was still a struggling graduate student who was losing a lot of hair while working on his master's thesis, so naturally he had no special experience.

But now he discovered that activities related to the Millennium New Year...

There are quite a lot of them.

And it is generally celebrated by all sectors of society.

So much so that he had to attend a social dinner—

It was jointly organized by several military-industrial groups in Beijing, including the Aviation Power Group.

The original purpose was to celebrate the new millennium and to bring an end to the fruitful 1999.

It is equivalent to a joint celebration banquet.

Of course, if this is the case, then Chang Haonan will not participate if he does not participate.

Among the group's many leaders, he is the only one missing.

But as the organization went on and on, it also included the link of networking with other units in Beijing.

To put it bluntly, it is to help older men and women who are not yet single to solve their personal problems.

Originally, this kind of activity would be very embarrassing if the leader is present -

The participants and leaders were embarrassed.

But it is always organized by the unit, and leaders must be present.

This year specifically, the situation is a little different.

Chang Haonan, as a member of the aviation power group team, perfectly meets the above three conditions at the same time.

Older, single, young.

That's right, in 1999, it was already a bit late to be 25 years old before you had solved your personal problems.

Although considering his Ph.D., this age is not that exaggerated.

But does it matter?

It does not matter.

The important thing is that others held a meeting, and in the end, in the absence of Chang Haonan himself, the decision was logically made to let him go to the gathering to speak a few words on behalf of the ten military-industrial groups.

So, Chang Haonan had no choice but to rush back to the capital that afternoon after finishing his business...

The entire event was held in a hotel in Beijing.

　　It directly covers two semi-open halls on the entire floor.

In this way, you can celebrate and socialize at the same time without delaying both.

Chang Haonan changed his clothes and took a car to the hotel. While complaining in his mind that some little genius came up with this idea, he found the venue on the 6th floor under the guidance of the hotel service staff.

Then, he saw Tang Lintian not far from the elevator entrance.

The other party obviously also saw Chang Haonan who had just stepped out of the elevator, and went straight to greet him.

“Professor Chang, everyone is waiting for you.”

“Principal Tang?”

Chang Haonan was a little surprised, but still shook hands with the other party:

“How did you…”

“As for friendship, there are many young comrades in the school who need this, so as the principal, I have to come over.”

Of course Chang Haonan didn't believe this.

In addition to them, there were also some theater, song and dance troupes and other units who came to the party this time, and I didn't see all their leaders coming.

So, he probably considered that there are people who can speak to several military-industrial groups today, so he came to get acquainted with them.

After all, about 60% of Beijing Airlines graduates enter these units every year.

There is no harm in building a good relationship.

Chang Haonan was dragged all the way into the venue on the east side of this floor.

As he was about to enter, a staff member handed him a speech.

Then, Tang Lintian patted him on the shoulder:

“Professor Chang, I, as an old man, will not interfere with your young people's affairs. I will go over there to drink first…”

Then he left him alone at the door and went straight to the other side where a group of middle-aged people gathered.

Chang Haonan looked at the other party's back, and then at the two pieces of paper in his hand.

At this point, he couldn't let go, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet. When Chang Haonan appeared on the stage in front, the originally lively scene suddenly became quiet.

About two seconds later, thunderous applause erupted.

There are even those who are closer to the front and have already put on a posture of eagerness to try——

Aviation Power Group has a young and promising leader. This matter is public, so many people know about it.

Of course Chang Haonan's specific situation will definitely not be posted on the website.

But on today's occasion, it's really hard not to make people think about a question.

Mr. Chang, is there a possibility that he is still single?

At this time, Zhu Yadan who was following behind was more nervous than Chang Haonan himself.

“Dear friends attending the event, good evening everyone!”

Since it is an activity aimed at making friends, the atmosphere must be created in a relaxed direction.

Even the leaders' speeches are the same.

This is also the main reason why no one has been willing to show this face in the past.

It's not that I can't keep my figure down, it's just that as a group of middle-aged and elderly people in their fifties and sixties, it's really difficult to show a lively look.

If you insist on pretending, it may lead to a dark history.

However, Chang Haonan is really only 25 years old after all, so there is nothing wrong with doing this kind of warm-up job.

Fortunately, the speech was not long, and Chang Haonan spoke quickly, so it only took less than five minutes to finish the opening session.

“Finally, on behalf of all the organizers of this event, please allow me to wish you all a great evening!”

He finished the last sentence, then handed the microphone to the real host next to him, and then prepared to run away.

But this time the social activities have officially begun, and it's not that easy to leave.

“Professor, do you want to dance together?”

A familiar voice came from behind Chang Haonan.

He turned around and saw Yao Mengna wearing a dress.

As a single young female teacher at Beijing Hang University, it was expected that she was drawn to participate in this event.

But being invited to dance by his former senior sister, current colleague and subordinate was obviously not in Chang Haonan's plan.

The bigger problem is…

"But…"

Chang Haonan looked around.

Yao Mengna's aura obviously scared off many people who were eager to try, so except for her and Zhu Yadan, the rest of the people stopped a few steps away.

In fact, as a normal person, Chang Haonan can also see what Yao Mengna thinks about herself.

It is naturally impossible to say that we hate each other.

But on the one hand, he feels that he is indeed still young and should devote his energy to work first, and not worry about personal issues.

After all, his situation is special, and it is impossible for the organization to abandon him because he has no family, as it does to most people.

On the other hand, Chang Haonan, who has been single for more than 40 years in his previous life, is actually a little afraid of this kind of thing...

It is the fear that someone may suddenly break into your life and change all your past habits.

So, he was still prepared to keep a low profile.

“But I can't dance…”

Chang Haonan gave this somewhat embarrassing answer.

This is not entirely an excuse for refusal.

But he really doesn't know how.

But now that Yao Mengna has stood up, it is obvious that she cannot give up easily:

“It's okay, I can teach you.”

She smiled:

“Rather, after so many years, I have finally found a place where I am good at but you are not good at. It is not easy..."

Having said this, if I refuse again, I will really become a poet of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.

Chang Haonan nodded:

“Okay, but I might step on your toes.”

Yao Mengna on the other side was visibly relieved when she heard the affirmative answer.

　　It took a lot of courage for her to take the initiative to stand up today. If she was rejected by Zhiqiu, she really wouldn't know how to face the opponent in the future.

Fortunately none of this happened.

“It doesn't matter, as long as you don't let your shoes fly out.”

She replied with a smile.
