Chapter 414 Donation
Chief Engineer Feng flipped through the information given by Gao Zhendong and couldn't let it go. The comrades from the Telephone Research Institute were also delighted, but they couldn't get their hands on it, so they could only lean their heads and rub against it from the side.

Some of those who read quickly wanted to reach out and help Mr. Feng turn the pages. This old man reads too slowly.

After quickly browsing through it, Mr. Feng closed the manuscript and said, "Chief Engineer Gao, thank you so much. We will go back and study first. It's just right that we can work on relays and dial-up telephones at the same time. We can use the rest of the time to learn the basics of this switch and wait for the statistics of new data."

Gao Zhendong smiled and nodded: "Well, the specific work will be arranged by Mr. Feng."

It was impossible for him to do the specific work himself, as his energy was focused on other things. With the help of comrades from the Telephone Research Institute of the Academy of Communications, I believe that the program-controlled exchange can always be developed.

What researchers at that time lacked was vision, theory, principles and routes. Once they had these and entered the actual operation stage, even if it was as difficult as Ms. Qiu's, they could still accomplish it within a few years.

Like his comrades from the original research institute who were working on the laser gyroscope, Gao Zhendong sent off his comrades from the Institute of Communications, who were delighted with his performance, with a manuscript.

On Monday, September 9, Gao Zhendong took a special leave.

Today is the day to send Lou Xiaoe to report, Beijing Second Medical University is about to start school.

Gao Zhendong and Lou Xiao'e got up early in the morning, packed their things, and got on the car sent by the Lou family. The unit's car could not be used to take Lou Xiao'e to school.

The reason why the couple did not ride their bikes directly there was because they had a lot of things to bring with them, far more than just Lou Xiao'e's daily necessities.

Lou's father and mother were also in another car. Gao Zhendong and Lou Xiao'e went to their car and greeted them. Lou Xiao'e and her mother smiled in the same way, happy and silly.

There seemed to be a hint of "It's a misfortune for the family to have this monster appear" in Lou's father's eyes, but if you look closely, you can see that the joy in the depths of his eyes cannot be concealed either.

The family of four got into two cars and rushed straight to Beijing Second Medical University, which was more than ten kilometers away. After dropping off Lou Xiao'e, Lou's father and mother encouraged her, then watched Gao Zhendong and Lou Xiao'e enter the school and left in the car.

The school is in Beijing, so there's nothing to be sad about. Just send it there.

There was another car waiting next to the school with some stuff in it.

Gao Zhendong has already carried Lou Xiaoe's luggage on his shoulders. Although this is called a campus, there is actually still a lot of space to be built.

There are many couples like them, but of course most of the time it is the elders who send their younger generations off.

The registration process was uneventful. The welcoming comrades were very enthusiastic, but there was no usual situation of old students welcoming new students, because this school had no old students, only new students, and was only established this year.

To put it bluntly, the school building has not been completed yet.

After completing the formalities and getting the dormitory number, Gao Zhendong took Lou Xiaoe to the dormitory. Students who have studied there know that this is one of the rare times of the year when men can enter the girls' dormitory.

Gao Zhendong had never been to the girls' dormitory in his previous life, because he did not participate in the freshman orientation. That was a lucrative position in the eyes of the restless teenagers, and if he was not proactive, he would not get a chance.

Sending Lou Xiao'e in this time can be considered as filling the gap left back then, but it cannot be said to be a regret, as he was not very interested in this back then.

As a new school, Beijing Second Medical University may not have complete school buildings yet, but the dormitories, canteens and other facilities have been laid first. Otherwise, even if teachers and students work together to build the school, they cannot let everyone live in tents outdoors.

However, these days when building new factories and mines, we really have to set up tents first.

After sending Lou Xiao'e to the dormitory and cleaning up the dormitory together with her, Gao Zhendong had a meal in the cafeteria of Lou Xiao'e's school. If the cafeteria was not open, it would be okay for Gao Zhendong, who is now a local resident. However, for comrades from other places who came to send people off, there might not be a place to eat, as the number of state-owned restaurants was not enough.

After lunch and a short rest, Gao Zhendong turned around and took Lou Xiaoe to the school's administrative building.

The administrative building doesn't look very tall. I guess it was rebuilt from an existing house and is just for now.

At this time, Gao Zhendong's credentials came in handy. He didn't need those eye-catching ones. He just took out the credentials of the Third Rolling Mill and Beijing University of Technology. When others saw them, they were surprised to find that he was a level 20 engineer in his early 6s, a department director, and the chief engineer of a branch of a large state-owned factory. By the way, they also saw that he was a teacher at Beijing University of Technology.

These titles combined together were enough to alarm Lou Xiao'e, the department head of the newly established Beijing Second Medical University.

The rank of their department head may not be higher than Gao Zhendong's. Beijing Second Medical University is a municipal university in Beijing. From the city to the education system, to the college, and then to the department, Gao Zhendong might still be able to call himself a leader in front of their department head.

But it is obvious that many people are looking for the department head. Gao Zhendong is the director, but the positions of others are not necessarily lower, and they may even be higher. As for the director, if a brick falls in Beijing, it can hit a bunch of directors.

Gao Zhendong was not in a hurry either. He had taken a day off today anyway, so he just wanted to make sure that everything for Lou Xiaoe's admission was settled.

At about 3:00 p.m., Gao Zhendong and his wife met with Lou Xiaoe's department head. When the department head heard Gao Zhendong's self-introduction and looked at his ID, he realized that this was a private matter and he had no letter of introduction or anything like that.

"Chief Engineer Gao, hello. In addition to sending Lou Xiao'e to school today, do you have anything specific to talk to me about?"

The department head was not long-winded. He was busy. If there was something to say, he would talk about it. If there was nothing to say, he would not be able to receive guests today. He was busy. If it were any other time, he would have time to chat with Gao Zhendong, but not today. It was the first day of school and he was busy. I think Chief Engineer Gao also understood.

At the same time, because they were both university teachers, he was still very polite to Gao Zhendong.

Gao Zhendong did not hesitate, knowing that the department director's time was precious today: "Hello, director. This is what happened. My wife is studying at your school. For her studies, I asked the comrades at the Xinhua Bookstore to prepare a batch of medical books for her. The number is quite large, and it is impossible to keep them in the dormitory. I want to see if you can communicate with the school and put these books in your school library for everyone to use. This way, the books can be managed and protected, and it will be convenient for my wife to study, and other students can also learn knowledge together."

This is what Gao Zhendong was going to do this time. He bought two copies of each of the thousands of medical books. He kept one copy at home and wanted to donate the other one to the school library.

These days, everything is in short supply, including books. The school's operating budget is also limited. Being able to save a few thousand dollars on books in the library is a blessing for the school.

The department head was quite happy to hear this. No matter what, this was a kind-hearted person. And from what he said, he knew that these books were from the Xinhua Bookstore headquarters. This indirectly proved two things - the source of these books was fine, and this young man was no ordinary person.

Moreover, he spoke in a nice way. Although he was clearly donating books to the school, he spoke as if he was doing himself a favor by putting these books in the library, which made people feel very comfortable.

This matter is beneficial to the department head and the students of the school, but I don’t know how many of these books there are.

It is estimated that there are about a hundred books, which should cover Lou Xiao'e's major. Just think about it, if it is not her major, it is meaningless for the couple.

"Thank you so much, Chief Engineer Gao. What books are they? Do you have a list? This is a good opportunity for us to adjust the library's book purchase plan."

Gao Zhendong handed over a list: "Director, here is the list, take a look first."

The list only contains book titles, authors, countries, etc., but no amount.

When the department head took a look at the list, he thought it was a bit thick and did not seem to consist of more than a hundred books.

After taking the list and taking a closer look, I was really overjoyed.

Nearly a thousand books!

The department head is knowledgeable. Looking at the names, he can see that they basically cover all the books currently published in the country, and they are quite expensive.

In terms of professionalism, it covers all the majors of Beijing Second Hospital, which is very useful for Beijing Second Hospital in its early stages.

"Chief Engineer Gao, thank you so much! Isn't this too valuable? It's worth a lot of money." The department head was still very rational. After confirming it, the initial estimate of the cost of this batch of books was probably several thousand dollars.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Director, to be honest, I have published several books myself, so whether it is expensive or not is not a big deal, as long as the students can use it. Besides, I am also a university teacher, and this is also my way of showing my appreciation to the students. When the students learn how to cure diseases and save lives in the future, it can be considered that the two of us have contributed to it."

The department head was not hypocritical. If you are willing to donate, I dare to accept it. Business is more important. However, he still smiled and said, "Well, thank you very much, Comrade Gao Zhendong and classmate Lou Xiaoe. Our school has just started, and there is a lot of initial construction work. When the time comes, I will ask classmate Lou Xiaoe to take the trouble to register and store this batch of books."

Registering and storing books is definitely easier than constructing school buildings, leveling playgrounds, etc., not to mention that the department head also said that he was "leading" the students to work.

Gao Zhendong understood what the department head meant. You are generous and I am righteous. Although the school is just starting out and all students must participate in labor, I will still try my best to take care of Lou Xiaoe and find the easiest job for her.

This is not something excessive. The young couple has made such a great contribution, so it is only right that we take care of them.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Thank you, Director."

This was originally the purpose of his donating books. Even if the department head didn't mention it, he would have taken the initiative to say it. Now that he has taken the initiative to bring it up, it's even better.

　Finally I got home.

　　There are two more chapters today, in the afternoon.
