He opened his eyes wide, his face full of astonishment and disbelief. He kept thinking about what had just happened in his mind and felt extremely regretful.
Not long ago, the young man who made himself speak without thinking and complain crazily in the classroom of Beijing University turned out to have such an astonishing identity - the deputy minister of the Ministry of Railways and the leader of the China High-speed Railway Construction Feasibility Study Group!
No wonder the young man was so confident at the time and remained calm in the face of his own doubts.
But I was like a clown, talking nonsense without knowing my place, and even so arrogant as to threaten to call the police to arrest him!
Isn't this just courting death...
At this moment, the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. There was no doubt that Deputy Minister Wen must have been completely enraged by him just now. Maybe this impromptu meeting was called just because of him!
I'm afraid I've gotten myself into big trouble this time!
Not only will he lose his position in this expert group, but he might also lose his position in Beijing University!
He is a deputy ministerial-level leading cadre. Isn't it as easy for him to deal with himself as it is to deal with a small shrimp?
However, regret was useless now. After a fierce ideological struggle, he decided to wait until the meeting was over, then bite the bullet and apologize to Wentao, begging him to forgive his mistakes and let him go.
After all, a powerful figure like that wouldn't bother too much with a nobody like me, right?
It’s settled then. I’ll go and beg for mercy later!
It doesn't matter if I'm not allowed to join the expert group for high-speed rail construction, as long as I can return to Beijing University as a professor peacefully...
Wen Tao was on the stage with a smile on his face and bright eyes. He sat straight with his posture as straight as a pine tree. He exuded a confident and calm temperament.
He continued to express his views fluently and incessantly.
"Dear experts and scholars, each country has its own unique geographical environment, cultural traditions, and social structure, and these factors directly influence its development path."
Wen Tao paused briefly, surveying the audience as they listened intently, and continued, "Take our country for example. We have vast territories and abundant resources, but to achieve true prosperity, we must continuously explore development paths that suit our unique characteristics."
At this point, Wentao's voice rose slightly, and his tone became more determined: "I believe that in the process of future economic development, one of the most crucial key nodes is undoubtedly the next major advancement in the transportation sector!"
At this point, he waved his hands vigorously to emphasize the point in his words.
Wentao then quoted an ancient proverb: "'If you want to get rich, build roads first.' This saying, though simple, holds profound truth. From ancient times to the present, transportation has always been a crucial factor in promoting regional exchange and cooperation and driving economic growth. So, for China today, what is the next path forward? The answer is obvious: high-speed rail!"
Hearing the word "high-speed rail", many experts present couldn't help but nod slightly in agreement.
Indeed, with the progress of the times and the rapid development of science and technology, people's requirements for travel speed and comfort are getting higher and higher.
As a modern means of transportation, high-speed rail has the advantages of speed and efficiency that can meet the needs of the public.
The correctness of high-speed rail is beyond doubt. But could it be that the experience I brought back from 20 years later is wrong with the development of high-speed rail in this area?
