After returning home, Xiang Nan continued to write his thesis.

"Using the density of Kuiper belt objects to constrain their composition and formation history" is just an appetizer.

Xiang Nan wants to continuously publish papers and continuously increase his reputation in the academic world. This will facilitate his future development.

Before writing his paper, he also visited the preprint server to see how readers responded to his paper.

In just one day, more than a dozen readers have left messages, praising Xiang Nan's paper for its well-written and high-quality papers, which have inspired them a lot.

Xiang Nan nodded with satisfaction, and then began to write "Technology-Analysis and Measurement; New discoveries in analysis and measurement by the Department of Physics and Astronomy provide new insights (rapid tomography examination of cylindrical objects)".

This paper was a major innovation in the field of astrophysics research, and caused quite a stir in the industry when it was published.

He started writing at half past five and continued until half past six.

…

"Fanfan, Leilei, you did really well in the final exam. Let's go out to eat tonight to celebrate." Tong Wenjie shouted happily after Fangyuan returned home.

My son and nephew ranked first and second in the grade. Such results are really great.

When Tong Wenjie went to work in the afternoon, he almost went crazy when he saw the report card sent by Teacher Li Meng. The top two students in the grade were both members of his family. What an honor it was.

So she planned to go out to dinner in the evening and have a nice meal to celebrate.

"Eating out?! Okay, let's eat pizza." Xiang Nan suggested, and then asked Lin Lei'er in English, "Leier, are you used to eating pizza?"

"I'm used to it, cousin, I can do it." Lin Lei'er also replied in English.

"What are you talking about?" Tong Wenjie asked in confusion.

Her English wasn't very good when she was in college, and she completely lost it after going to work. Until now, she only knows the twenty-six letters of the English alphabet.

"Speak in English, Mom. Lei'er and I talk in English so that we can practice speaking and listening." Xiang Nan explained with a smile.

Tong Wenjie suddenly understood and gave Xiang Nan a thumbs up.

My son is not only smart and good at learning, but he can now apply what he has learned, which is really amazing.

"Okay, let's go eat pizza." Tong Wenjie agreed readily.

…

"Son, you are so awesome. With 742 points, you lost eight points?" On the way, Fangyuan, who has always been a Buddhist, also saw the results of Xiang Nan and Lin Lei'er.

When I saw that my son had perfect scores in five subjects and only lost eight points in Chinese, I was so happy that I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

"Uh-huh~" Tong Wenjie coughed dryly.

"Ah, by the way, Lei'er is also very good! Seven hundred and seventeen points, oh! Geniuses have come to our house." Fang Yuan quickly praised Lin Lei'er again.

"Thank you, uncle." Lin Lei'er nodded, "My cousin's grades are much better than mine. The reason why he scored 742 points is because the test paper only had 750 points. Compared with him

, I’m just too far behind.”

"Lei'er, don't praise me like that, I'll be proud." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me. The two of us will make progress together."

"Thank you, cousin." Lin Lei'er nodded obediently.

"I also have good news to share today. Our company will be merged and acquired recently. Once merged, I may be promoted to the next level and officially become the director of the legal department." Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"Really, hubby, that's great." Tong Wenjie said happily after hearing this.

"In two days, the company will send me on a business trip to discuss mergers and acquisitions. Once the mergers and acquisitions are concluded, your husband and I will be promoted to director with a raise in salary." Fang Yuan smiled, "You know what my colleagues in the company call me now, Fang Zuozhui,

It means that I am just one step away from being promoted to director."

"That's a good nickname. You're really a little shy. Hurry up and get rid of it." Tong Wenjie said happily.

…

"Dad, don't blame me for pouring cold water on you. I think it is unlikely that you will be promoted, but it is very possible that you will be fired." After hearing this, Xiang Nan shook his head.

"Why?" Fangyuan asked doubtfully.

"It's very simple. Since your company has been acquired, the acquirer will definitely send a team to take over." Xiang Nan explained, "When the time comes, there will be one emperor and one courtier.

No matter what guarantees your current boss gives you, it doesn't matter. The key is to look at the new management team. If you have no relationship with the new management team, why should they promote you?

On the contrary, when a new team takes over the company, it will definitely increase revenue and reduce expenditure if it wants to achieve results.

For a veteran like you, who usually doesn't take his job seriously and always wants to show off his seniority, but the salary is not low, but the actual position is not high and is not indispensable, do you think they will keep you or fire you?"

"..." Fang Yuan suddenly looked a little embarrassed when she heard her son say this about herself.

To be honest, his son's words were really harsh. But when he thought about it carefully, he had to admit that what he said did make sense.

This is an irrefutable truth. The current boss has indeed said that once the merger and acquisition is completed, his position will be mentioned.

But once the merger and acquisition is completed, can he still have the final say? At that time, whether he can protect himself is a question.

Moreover, when the new team takes over the company, there will definitely be layoffs. By then, old employees like him will most likely be laid off.

Unfortunately, he still had dreams of promotion and salary increase, but he did not expect that once the merger and acquisition was successful, he might not even be able to keep his current job.

"Fang Yuan'er, what Fanfan said makes sense." After listening, Tong Wenjie also nodded and said, "Are you sure about your promotion?"

"It was accurate in the first place, but now it's vague." Fang Yuan said depressedly, and all the good mood in his heart was gone.

"Dad, if you really want to get promoted and get a raise, you should build a good relationship with the acquirer during the process of negotiating mergers and acquisitions." Xiang Nan reminded, "Didn't the company send you to negotiate mergers and acquisitions? This is exactly who you are.

A good opportunity.”

Fangyuan nodded.

He really hadn't thought about this level before. He just wanted to complete the work assigned by his boss, and then get a promotion and salary increase as soon as the merger and acquisition was successful.

But now it seems that once the merger is completed, he is likely to be laid off.

The reason why the boss told him in advance and promised him a promotion and salary increase was simply to reassure his military spirit and let him work hard for himself and strive for more benefits for himself when negotiating mergers and acquisitions.

So when he goes to negotiate this time, he can't be too honest. He should be honest when he should be honest, and insert a knife when he should be.
