What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

"Location?"

Qin Ze was somewhat confused.

"I'm in a pretty good position right now, it feels great."

Song Jingcheng couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

I don't know if your position is good or not.

But you've accomplished quite a bit in this position.

"I asked you to put in charge of a project to ensure people's livelihood, and you've turned the fire department and meteorological department into a fully-fledged army. How can this be allowed?"

Qin Ze's heart tightened.

Oh no, I can't escape it after all.

This is probably what they mean by being spared the death penalty but unable to escape punishment.

The higher-ups will still hold them accountable, but they've pardoned the major offenses.

But thinking about it carefully...

This isn't too much of an overreaction.

The project to ensure people's livelihood did indeed exceed the limit by a tiny bit.

Especially after hearing that the Crown Prince was rich, they felt somewhat overwhelmed.

After all, he almost ruined his life, so it's only right that his boss criticizes and punishes him.

"So, is my position too high? Where are you planning to transfer me?"

"high?"

Song Jingcheng chuckled.

"It's too low!"

Qin Ze: "???"

"Although you have a high title and many honorary titles now, they are all nominal ones."

"But when it comes to actually getting things done, it's still under the university's jurisdiction."

"Above the school level, there's the provincial level and the war zone level."

"There are too many people suppressing you."

"????"

The more Wu Changjiang listened, the more he felt that something was wrong with what was being said.

"Boss, we're the ones keeping an eye on him. He's caused such a huge mess; if no one keeps an eye on him..."

Song Jingcheng interrupted him directly, asking, "Have you controlled it?"

"I..." Wu Changjiang muttered.

"Since we can't control him, we might as well let him do what he wants."

Actually, this wasn't just a passing fancy.

Since the last project, Song Jingcheng has been considering Qin Ze's position.

He always felt that it was a waste of Qin Ze's talent to keep him in school.

However, due to Qin Ze's own wishes and the lack of a better position, they could only make do for the time being.

However, after today's meeting, the higher-ups put forward a bold idea.

"Xiao Qin, from now on, we'll give you 100% autonomy. You can do whatever project you want, how about that?"

Qin Ze shook his head repeatedly: "Not very good."

Why?

Qin Ze was cautious: "There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"It's not just a pie; what's falling from the sky this time is probably a full Manchu Han Imperial Feast."

Song Jingcheng then explained.

"My superiors and I have been considering this for a long time."

"Currently, there are ten directly managed state-owned military enterprises in China. They seem to have complete functions, but in reality, they have many shortcomings."

"These ten companies are mainly focused on mass production and lack a certain degree of independent innovation capability."

"The innovation driving force of the military industry mostly lies in research institutes, but these institutes do not have the ability to support themselves."

"Therefore, we have been planning to establish a new central state-owned enterprise to be responsible for the research and development of cutting-edge military technologies, but it will also be a corporate entity."

"The preliminary name is Sino-Singapore Defense, and it will be directly managed by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."

"We plan to transfer the nine research institutes that were originally responsible for scientific research to them, and then the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will invest the initial funds to get things started."

Upon hearing this, Wu Changjiang couldn't help but exclaim "Holy crap!"

There is no other reason.

Everything he heard was incredibly exciting.

For a long time, China's military industry has been controlled by ten giants.

Over time, the pattern becomes rigid.

But now, the leadership is using a new company to break this stagnant pattern.

As a downstream user of the equipment, Wu Changjiang naturally has high expectations.

Moreover, the boss brought this up in front of Qin Ze.

that goes without saying.

They definitely want to get Qin Ze assigned to this new company.

I have some connection with Qin Ze.

In this way, it will be advantageous for us to do business with this new company in the future.

Thinking of this, Wu Changjiang couldn't help but raise both hands in agreement.

"Great! Let Qin Ze become the chief engineer or something at this company; that would be perfect for maximizing his abilities..."

Upon hearing this, the boss suddenly interrupted, "Chief Engineer?"

"Yeah, I think Qin Ze is capable of being a chief engineer."

Wu Changjiang defended Qin Ze.

"Although he is a bit younger, his abilities are second to none in the country."

"As for experience, people grow gradually."

"Shall we let Xiao Qin make up for it slowly?"

Song Jingcheng looked at his trusted subordinate with disdain: "What are you thinking? The leader is considering making Qin Ze the top leader, the chairman."

"????"

Wu Changjiang was suddenly stunned.

The head of a central state-owned enterprise, and moreover, the head of a military industrial group—definitely a centrally managed cadre!

There isn't a single coward in this position; they are all the backbone of the organization.

In an instant, Qin Ze's level became equal to his own.

"Can...can it really work?" Wu Changjiang asked incredulously.

"At first, we doubted whether Qin Ze could shoulder this heavy responsibility."

Song Jingcheng recounted the story in detail.

"But after seeing Comrade Xiao Qin's project that safeguards people's livelihoods..."

"All my and the leader's doubts have been dispelled."

"He not only has scientific research capabilities, but also an outstanding ability to make money."

"Just now, we received a formal contract from a major client. Once signed, a large sum of foreign exchange will flow into our account."

"All of this is thanks to Qin Ze."

At first, everyone thought Qin Ze was a genius.

But such geniuses are only suited to conducting their own research behind closed doors in universities.

Because most people have limited energy, once they dedicate their lives to natural sciences, it is difficult for them to have the energy to deal with sociological matters.

But when it comes to business, it's all about sociology.

Previously, Song Jingcheng did not believe that one person could handle both subjects well.

Until he met Qin Ze.

He's good at scientific research, and he's good at making money too.

Looking back on Qin Ze's past, even when he was receiving subsidies at school, he still worked part-time to support himself.

What does this tell us?

He was born to get things done.

"Although he is younger, we believe he is the best candidate to lead this company."

Song Jingcheng said firmly.

"This decision has already been voted on at the meeting, so even if others have objections, it won't matter."

"So Lao Wu, you shouldn't have any doubts."

"Sometimes we old folks just overthink things."

"Over the past thirty years, especially in the military industry, we have taken too many detours."

"I've wondered countless times if we old folks have led others astray?"

"This Sino-Singapore defense deal is both an industrial restructuring and an investment in the future."

"We must trust young people."

Upon hearing this, Wu Changjiang nodded solemnly.

The leader's words were sincere and well-thought-out, so what else could I say?

"Alright! Trust the young man."

Just as the two were exchanging cool and sophisticated glances, Qin Ze couldn't help himself.

"No! You two may trust young people, but young people may not necessarily trust you two."
