"Xiao Chen, the matter has been resolved. You really helped me out this time," Minister Zhou said excitedly.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and replied, "Minister Zhou, there's no need to say that. I just did what I was supposed to do."
As he spoke, Chen Xuan winked at Minister Zhou and teased, "If you feel indebted, why not apply for a bonus for me?"
To Chen Xuan's surprise, Minister Zhou readily agreed.
"Ha!" Chen Xuan exclaimed, "Minister Zhou, I was just joking. As for the bonus, Nong Wang Ying Tuan already gave me one yesterday. I think it's enough."
Just yesterday, Liu Yue had secretly approached Chen Xuan and handed him a silver card containing five million in cash. This was Liu Yue's way of expressing gratitude to Chen Xuan.
For Chen Xuan, that amount was more than sufficient; he didn't need anything else.
Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Minister Zhou smiled mysteriously and whispered, "Xiao Chen, you don't really think I applied for a bonus for you, do you?"
"Huh?" Chen Xuan looked up in surprise, curious about what Minister Zhou meant. If it wasn't money, then what could it be?
Seeing the confusion on Chen Xuan's face, Minister Zhou chuckled with satisfaction. He cleared his throat and said proudly, "Xiao Chen, your research project this time is truly significant. I've already applied for you. Before long, you'll be one of Jiangshan City's Ten Outstanding Young People."
The mention of the Ten Outstanding Young People left Chen Xuan momentarily stunned, his expression one of disbelief. He thought to himself that it was no wonder Minister Zhou was so impressive; with just a casual remark, he had handed Chen Xuan an award of considerable prestige.
"This award is indeed impressive," Chen Xuan remarked, a hint of gratitude in his smile. "Thank you, Minister Zhou."
"Is that all the thanks I get?" Minister Zhou replied with a sly grin.
"Huh?" Chen Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, shock washing over him. "Minister Zhou, there can't be more awards, can there?"
"Of course!" Minister Zhou affirmed, patting Chen Xuan on the shoulder. "Xiao Chen, you really underestimate the success of this project."
"It’s a problem that many experts in the country have struggled with, yet you managed to break through."
Minister Zhou paused, looking at Chen Xuan with admiration in his eyes. "To be honest, it won't be long before the official evaluation is passed. Soon, you'll receive an award that many researchers spend their entire lives trying to achieve!"
His words greatly piqued Chen Xuan's interest. Unable to contain himself, he pressed on, "Minister Zhou, what exactly is it?"
Minister Zhou smiled lightly. "It's nothing much, just the National Science Advancement Award."
"What?!" Chen Xuan was completely stunned.
The National Science Advancement Award—the most stringent selection in Xia Country, requiring the endorsement of over ten academicians to qualify for the prize? This award was meant for him?
Even though Chen Xuan usually remained calm, this news left him in shock. "Minister Zhou, you’re not pulling my leg, are you?"
With that thought in mind, Chen Xuan looked at Minister Zhou with suspicion.
