From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 51 Then let’s work hard to be our own school valve
"Old Zhang..."

Tian Fang opened the door and walked into the Mathematics Research Center.

"Hey, Lin Mo is here too!"

Hearing the sound, Lin Mo raised his head from behind the table.

"Come on, Lin Mo, Lao Zhang, while we are all here at the research center, I have some good news to tell you."

Tian Fangyi walked in with a smile on his face and asked Lin Mo and Zhang Qihua to sit down on the sofa.

"Director, what's the good news?"

Zhang Qihua asked with some confusion.

"Thanks to you, Lao Zhang. You are a great contributor to our center."

Speaking of this, Tian Fang paused and glanced at Lin Mo.

"Of course, Lin Mo is also a great contributor, and both of you are great contributors to our center."

"Come and see, what is this..."

Tian Fangyi said and handed a document to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo took it and glanced at it, he understood what was going on, with a smile on his face, and then handed the document to Zhang Qihua.

"Reply on project approval for research on 3n+1 issues..."

"Approved...approved?"

Zhang Qihua couldn't react for a while. The school actually approved this project?
"Director, didn't you say before..."

"Hey, before was before, and now is now. I argued with the school and talked about the results of our center. After many considerations, the school finally decided to agree to the project, and..."

Tian Fang gave it up and saw that Lin Mo and Zhang Qihua were waiting for his next words, so he continued.

"Moreover, the school directly approved 50 project research and development funds, which can be withdrawn at any time. Lin Mo, Lao Zhang, what do you think our center is lacking? Tell me, I will arrange purchases at any time, and I must provide you with a good research environment , make sure you are safe.”

"In addition, Lao Zhang, the school has specially approved a house for you in the expert building. I went to see it. It is 150 square meters with four bedrooms and two living rooms, and it is a well-decorated existing house. You go back and tell your brothers and sisters about this." Let’s move there in two days.”

Tian Fang took out a bunch of keys from his body and stuffed them into Zhang Qihua's hand.

"This……"

Zhang Qihua scratched his head.

"Why is this, Director?"

"Why? Lao Zhang, you are pretending to be confused because you understand."

"Academician Fu personally came to visit our school. Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? You should inform me as soon as possible. Don't talk about this. Even more, I will fight for you."

"Of course, you are inexperienced after all, but this will not happen next time. Next time something like this happens, you can say hello to me in advance and I will take care of the rest."

Speaking of which, Zhang Qihua finally understood what was going on.

Zhang Qihua glanced at Lin Mo, and Lin Mo touched his nose in embarrassment. He knew that Xia Jingjing's interview should have played a role.

"This is not good, is this really okay..."

Zhang Qihua is still a little worried. With so many benefits, it is impossible to say that no one is jealous.

Zhang Qihua held the bunch of keys like a hot potato. He felt that it was neither good nor bad to accept them.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, please don't worry about this. If you have any problems, I will take care of them. After all, I also have the title of director of our center. From now on, leave this kind of matter to me. I will take care of you." If you provide good logistical support, you and Lin Mo can do your research in peace, and I will handle the rest for you!"

"Okay..." Zhang Qihua hadn't fully recovered from the surprise, and nodded.

"By the way, Lin Mo, do you need anything in life recently?"

Lin Mo shook his head.

"Where do you live now? Are you renting a house off campus?"

"Well, you are now a researcher at our center. I will apply to the school to get you a teacher's apartment on campus. It will also be convenient for you to conduct research and avoid running around."

Although Lin Mo didn't make any request, Tian Fangyi took the initiative to make it.

"But Lin Mo is just an assistant researcher. Isn't this just against the rules?"

Zhang Qihua said worriedly.

"Assistant researchers don't count as researchers? If anyone has any opinions, let them publish an article in the top journal first. Okay, this matter is settled. Lin Mo, please wait for my good news."

"Okay, go ahead and get busy. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me."

When Tian Fang said this, his eyes turned to Lin Mo. When Lin Mo nodded and understood what he meant, Tian Fang waved his hand and turned around to leave.

"Lin Mo, this..."

Zhang Qihua held the bunch of keys and looked at Lin Mo with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"Okay, Teacher Zhang, just keep this key. Director Tian has already said that he will solve any problems. What are you worried about? You'd better call your wife quickly and report the good news!"

"not me……"

"Oh, Teacher Zhang, don't think that you are taking advantage of me or that you owe me. You have to think about it. Without your support for me in the past three years, would I have achieved the results I have today? Maybe I would have been on the rooftop a long time ago. I have thrown my head away and my soul has returned to the West, so Teacher Zhang, you deserve all this."

"Besides, where are you now? The days are still long, and you will get more and more in the future. You have to get your mentality right..."

Lin Mo educated Zhang Qihua with a bit of joking.

Zhang Qihua couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, why couldn't he see it more clearly than his students?

"Okay, then I'll be disrespectful."

"However, Director Tian's words just now reminded me that if we reject Fu Mingli like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future..."

"Teacher Zhang is worried that Fu Mingli will suppress us because we reject him?"

"That's not the case. I don't think Academician Fu is that kind of person, but..."

"It's just that when you reach the status of Academician Fu, even if he won't deliberately embarrass us, it's hard to say for the people below him."

Lin Mo didn't answer, which was regarded as acquiescing to Zhang Qihua's statement.

There is no way, this is academic circles. At the level of Fu Mingli, many things are no longer within his control. Even if he has no intention of suppressing Lin Mo, his team, including the doctors and graduate students he leads, as well as the ones he chairs There are so many researchers at the national laboratory. When Lin Mo conflicts with their interests, there is no guarantee that they will not do something.

Maybe there won't be anything for now, but as Lin Mo gets more and more research results in the future, everyone in the mathematical community will have conflicts sooner or later.

Academic competition is no weaker than competition in other areas, and may even be more intense, just because the focus of academic circles is relatively low and unknown.

Otherwise, how could there be a school valve?

Lin Mo thought about it.

"Teacher Zhang, if that's the case, then let's work hard to be our own students!"
