20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3694 Now that we're here, we have to shout it out.
He glanced at his watch; it was a little past 1 a.m. in Western Europe, which was 8 a.m. in China. Zhao Chang'an calculated in his mind that they should have already entered Chinese airspace by now, and they would arrive in Jiangcheng in a little over three hours.

Zhao Chang'an moved his seat to the window and looked down at the land below. It was still dawn in the Northwest, and the dim light made it difficult to see the scenery.

But I'm finally back in China.

The cabin was quiet, and most of the windows had their sunshades down.

The cabin was quiet. Although the sunshades of a few windows had not been lowered beforehand, most people were wearing eye masks. Those who had woken up and saw that everyone was sleeping either continued to sleep or remained quiet so as not to disturb others.

The only sounds were the mixed noises from the plane flying at high speed, and the occasional slight turbulence.

This procurement also included purchasing a PAS5500 for the Jiangcheng R&D Center, priced at $6.3 million, or over 50 million RMB.

Zhao Chang'an didn't really want to give the machine to Su Bo and the others, but he couldn't just ask a horse to run without feeding it. In the past two years, Jiangcheng had provided land, money, and manpower, and even arranged for the family resettlement of the hired personnel. The G-line lithography machine in the R&D center was borrowed from Jiangda University and was an old machine that was nearly ten years old.

The reason why Jiangcheng was so hospitable this time was partly due to the PAS5500. At least it proves that the purpose of OneNano and Jiangcheng jointly establishing this R&D center was definitely not just to gain fame and publicity.

That's why he suggested that Subo and his team could use this machine, along with the old G-line machine, to get some work done. That would be much better than letting the two machines go to waste.

As Zhao Chang'an pondered these matters, he gradually drifted into a state between sleep and wakefulness. He was startled awake again and looked out the plane window, where he could already see the mountains and land below.

After observing the terrain for a while, Zhao Chang'an realized that it was the northwestern Sichuan region, meaning that it wouldn't be long before they would pass through Sichuan and reach the Hanjiang Plain.

Looking down at the mountains, Zhao Chang'an's gaze was complicated. In the past three years, OneNan had built more than 30 schools in the area, from kindergartens to primary, junior high, senior high and vocational schools, investing 300 to 400 million RMB.

These schools can either be rebuilt on their original sites if the location is suitable, or they need to be relocated. Zhao Chang'an's requirement is that they must be at a safe distance from those steep mountains.

All these buildings are required to use a full-frame heavy steel structure and raft foundation, with a height not exceeding four stories, and to withstand strong earthquakes of magnitude eight to nine.

Zhao Chang'an's goal is to carry out larger-scale reconstruction efforts in the areas where Yan Na previously taught in the coming years, with the reconstruction efforts covering all schools.

If sufficient funds are available, OneNano will participate in large-scale renovation projects for dilapidated houses in that area. As a responsible, socially responsible, and mission-driven company, we strive to give back to society the money we earn in a way that benefits the people.

In the grand scheme of history, an individual always seems so insignificant. However, since Zhao Chang'an has arrived at this branching point in time and now possesses certain abilities, there are some things he must do.

OneNano proposed to establish a large-scale cloud data storage center in Sichuan. To this end, it established a geological research institute with the National Earthquake Administration, the Environmental Protection Administration, Jiangnan University, and Sichuan University. In the past two years, OneNano has invested 30 to 40 million yuan to conduct research and monitoring on the collision between the Indian Ocean Plate and the Eurasian Plate, the uplift of the Sichuan-Tibet Plateau, and the activity of the Longmenshan tectonic belt.

Now that he had arrived in this world and at this time, Zhao Chang'an was determined to speak out loudly before that time came, rather than coldly ignoring it by doing nothing. The reason he had invested so much in aid and reconstruction over the past two years was to create a sufficiently high level of influence in the areas where Yan Na had previously taught, meaning that his words would be heeded by these people, and also to serve as a backup plan in case of emergency.

"What are you looking at so intently? Didn't you hear me calling you?"

At this moment, Yang Yixin quietly came to Zhao Chang'an's seat and sat down next to him. Seeing that he was staring out the window for a long time without moving, she gently called his name twice but he didn't respond. Curious, she got up from her seat and leaned over to look out the window next to Zhao Chang'an.

However, seeing only endless, flat mountains below, with nothing interesting or unique, I couldn't help but feel curious.

“This is where Yanna used to teach. But because of the song ‘Those Years’ I played, her marriage was ruined. After that, I came here to take a look. Even though the country’s economy is booming, the people living in the deep mountains of the west are still not very well-off. In recent years, I have been helping to build schools, hoping to attract students and teachers to settle down and teach well, so that a large number of outstanding young people can achieve success in their careers and return home to build their hometowns.”

Yang Yixin turned her head in surprise to look at Zhao Chang'an's handsome and charming face, which was so close to her that it made her heart race, and said with a smile, "Although I think your behavior is really good, you don't have to use such diplomatic language."

Zhao Chang'an looked at Yang Yixin, who was hunched over in front of him, and knew that she was currently in a blind spot. He reached out and grabbed her from both sides, almost causing the unsuspecting Yang Yixin to collapse onto his lap.

Yang Yixin glared at Zhao Chang'an with delight, her bright eyes filled with affection.

How could she not be infatuated with and unable to extricate herself from a young, handsome, capable, compassionate, and socially responsible man like Zhao Chang'an, who was also incredibly talented? Even though she knew that Zhao Chang'an was the boyfriend of her childhood playmate, she still couldn't help but want him to have her.

-

The plane quickly flew over the mountains below, and soon flew over Shennongjia and entered the Jianghan Plain.

The cabin gradually became lively as everyone knew they were almost at the airport.

Raimondi and his wife, Colette, also came out of the private room. At this time, Yang Yixin had already left the seat next to Zhao Chang'an to avoid danger and returned to Ye Yiyi. The two women were talking quietly with their heads close together, their pretty faces smiling, and they seemed to be very happy.

Seeing that Zhao Chang'an's seat was empty, Laimondi and Colette walked over with smiles on their faces. Zhao Chang'an smiled and gestured for them to sit next to him.

"We're almost there. Our first stop is Jiangcheng, a city with a long history, located on the banks of the Yangtze River, the third longest river in the world and the longest in China—"

Zhao Chang'an was in high spirits and introduced the place to Laimondi and Collette: "There are many cultural relics here, and just as many delicious snacks—"

Zhao Chang'an himself was drooling and felt hungry just talking about it.
