In the surprised gaze of Huang Xujie,郝仁 and 謝雨嘉 moved to two positions on the right side at the front.

Hao Zhonghua walked up to the podium, tested the microphone, and placed his speech稿on it.

Gradually, some provincial leaders entered the auditorium.

"Academician Hao, congratulations!" The leading official quickly approached and shook hands with郝中華.

"Governor Liu, in your busy schedule, you personally came to attend my small appointment ceremony. I truly don't deserve such honor," 郝中華 politely said.

"This is what the country expects of you, and it's also our Jiangdong Province supporting you! Gradually make achievements, transitioning from a research position to a management one requires an adaptation period!" Governor Liu patted Hao Zhonghua on the shoulder, encouraging him.

Hao Ren sat quietly in his seat on the right side, observing his father interacting with these provincial leaders without speaking.

"Recently, at a major project meeting in Beijing, your dad was appointed as the deputy組長of the whole project," 謝雨嘉, who often cared about the technology section of newspapers, whispered to郝仁.

Having to learn about his father's situation from newspaper reports... Is this really sad Hao Ren sighed slightly.

As time approached the official start of the appointment ceremony, TV station and newspaper reporters were all in position.

The officials who had been making small talk with郝中華 took their seats in either the first or second row.

Hao Ren and 謝雨嘉's seats were not central; they would only be captured by camera lenses for a moment, not drawing much attention.

As for Huang Xujie, who seemed rather abnormal today, he had been chased away by his father. Of course, as soon as Huang Senior returned home, Huang Xujie was sure to receive a beating.

Just a few minutes before the speech began, Yue Yang hurriedly walked in wearing a dark black casual suit.

She smiled at Hao Zhonghua and waved to him. Upon seeing Hao Ren and Xie Yujia's positions, she walked over and sat down next to Xie Yujia.

"Hello, aunt!" Xie Yujia hurriedly greeted her.

Yue Yang is not only Hao Ren’s mother but also the scientist that Xie Yujia admires most. In last year's Time magazine list of the world's most influential women, Yue Yang was listed due to her reputation in the scientific community and her achievements in her field!

"Very well!" Yue Yang nodded in return. While responding, she also took another careful look at Xie Yujia—why does this girl seem even more beautiful than when she last saw her a month ago

Seeing Hao Ren with a solemn face and no reaction, Yue Yang explained further, "I just came from attending another event, so I'm a bit late."

"What kind of appointment ceremony is Uncle participating in today" Seeing that Hao Ren remained silent, Xie Yujia broke the deadlock by asking.

"I've been appointed as the director of China's Ocean Research Institute. The treatment has become vice-ministerial level," Yue Yang said.

"Then...will Uncle still be involved in research" Xie Yujia asked again.

This wasn't because she was being nosy; it was just that she didn't want to watch helplessly as Hao Ren and Yue Yang's relationship deteriorated, so she had to avoid an awkward silence before the ceremony began.

"He has chosen marine biology research for his next direction. Now that he needs to manage the institute and conduct research on the marine life near Donghai City, he will remain in Donghai City," Yue Yang said.

While this seemed addressed to Xie Yujia, it was actually meant for Hao Ren.

Hao Ren's heart thumped once.

Marine biology... would the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace count as marine life

"Then, Aunt May, what research topics do you have next" asked Xie Yujia.

Bai Yu smiled and replied, "I will still be focusing on the climate field. However, I might collaborate with China to undertake a major project related to marine climate."

But she didn’t tell Xie Yujia that this time when she returned from Beijing, she had already been promoted to the vice president of the East China Meteorological Research Institute, directly overseeing one key national-level laboratory and several departmental-level focus laboratories. Her rank was even higher than Hao Zhonghua’s!

But no matter what, on the outside, she was still Hao Zhonghua’s wife, so for her husband's inauguration ceremony, she had to attend to support him. She wouldn’t take the spotlight from him!

"That’s great! Aunt May can stay in Donghai City more often now," said Xie Yujia with a smile.

Bai Yu nodded contentedly, feeling grateful for this little radish who was so clever that she immediately understood her thoughts. Taking on the burden of being the vice president was essentially forcing herself to stay in Donghai City frequently and spend time with her son and mother-in-law.

Seeing Bai Yu’s intentions, Hao Ren turned to look at her without his expression as cold as before.

Sitting between them, Xie Yujia held one hand of Hao Ren and the other of Bai Yu. "How wonderful it is for a family to be reunited!"

Xie Yujia was desperately trying to ease the rift between Hao Ren and his parents; how could Hao Ren not understand her intentions Being touched by Xie Yujia’s delicate hands, he felt a bit moved.

“Thank you all for your support. Thank you, everyone present. And thank you, friends.”

Hao Zhonghua stood confidently on the podium to give his speech.

To transition from a successful scientist to the director of an important national research institute was a remarkable transformation and significant career shift.

Hao Zhonghua’s expertise in biological research and pharmaceuticals had already reached world-class standards, driving rapid development in Donghai City's bio-industry. His new role as the director of the Ocean Research Institute would certainly spur even greater growth in Donghai City’s marine industry!

The ocean fishing industry, offshore oil and gas sector, maritime mining, saltworks—each was a huge industry worth billions or tens of billions!

Scholars like Hao Zhonghua are rarer than pandas! In this era where science and technology are the primary drivers of productivity, Hao Zhonghua's brand influence surpasses that of any leader in both the municipal and provincial governments!

A tumultuous applause erupted when Hao Zhonghua concluded his speech.

Yue Yang smiled at Hao Zhonghua and threw him an encouraging look. Although Yue Yang ranks higher than Hao Zhonghua in administrative hierarchy, she always feels that Hao Zhonghua is a cut above her.

Xie Yujia clapped enthusiastically as well; Hao Zhonghua's speech was truly excellent.

Following this was the relatively tedious speeches by provincial and municipal leaders. Sitting in the front row, Hao Zhonghua quietly conversed with several high-ranking officials around him. He is a world-renowned scientist but certainly not one of those eccentric scientists who shut themselves up in their labs! With his abilities and talents, even if he doesn't make waves in the scientific community, he could still excel in other fields!

Just based on his relationship with the provincial governor alone, these Donghai City leaders would all give him a wide berth!

The next part of the event was the official appointment ceremony.

The elderly president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences personally handed over a golden steering wheel symbolizing the future direction of the Marine Research Institute to Hao Zhonghua.

Click-click-click... Flashbulbs kept going off one after another.

Hao Zhonghua did not really wish to get close to the media and public, but if he wanted to remain in Donghai City, this was the choice he had to make.

Spend a little less time on research and more time managing; it allows him to continue his scientific endeavors while also spending more time with his son.

"Next, please welcome Mr. Zhao Guang, chairman of Tomorrow Group, who will donate three hundred million yuan in research funds to the Chinese Marine Research Institute!"

the ceremony's host announced.anzǐ's eyes wandered around the clothing section. "A Western-style costume."Hearing this, 郝仁 felt anxious; there were still more clothesThe waiter, however, immediately became enthusiastic and asked,...
