Pujiang Jiaotong University, Department of Chemical Industry.

Wang Hongtai sat in the laboratory, looking at a record of a few pages in front of him, and his face was as gloomy as the sky before it rained.

For several months, Wang Hongtai was most afraid of receiving a phone call from Beijing, because he did not know how to explain to the re-installed leaders who trusted him, especially not knowing how to face his very respected senior teacher Wu Shican.He was just a small lecturer, and Professor Wu and Director Feng, who were reinstalled, believed in themselves so and provided 500,000 yuan of financial support for their research projects, which is the highest amount of funding for the entire Pujiang Jiaotong University in this tender.

In the moment of walking out of the defense venue, Wang Hongtai has made up his mind, preferring to live 20 years less, but also to conquer the ruthenium catalyst.Yes, his generation grew up listening to the story of the Iron Man, and he hoped to become a heroic model for the country from an early age.He was a bookboy, with no power to bind chickens, and could not go to the ice field to drill for oil like the Iron Man.But he has his method of reporting to the country, that is, to make scientific research achievements that have reached the international first-class level, so that China's science and technology can climb a higher level.

All along, he thought he had this ability and had such ambitions, but he lacked conditions.Now, the re-installation office gave him 500,000 yuan in funding, what reason does he have to not do the results?

With full hope, he returned to Pujiang with other teachers in the school.The funds allocated by the reinstallation office were very timely, and Wang Hongtai returned less than two weeks later, and the first fund of the financing had reached the school account.This amount has as many as 600,000, which belong to different topics, of which Wang Hongtai's rutted catalyst project has as much as 100,000 yuan.According to the department of the subject moderator, the school's financial department issued a notice of use of funds, informing each project moderator that it can start to apply for the use of these funds.

Wang Hongtai received a notice from Dong Hongying, the head of the department, that the funds had arrived, so that he would come to discuss the research plan of the project.He rushed to the chemical department conference room, as soon as he entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere was different.In the conference room, there were several main leaders in the department, and several great cow professors.Seeing Wang Hongtai enter the door, all the people cast a kind smile at him, one by one, smiling white or smoked by cigarettes, so that Wang Hongtai had a chilling feeling.

“Congratulations, Xiao Wang, for fighting for the light of our chemical department!”

The head of the department, Gao Xin, did not stand up in person, shook hands with Wang Hongtai, and took Wang Hongtai to sit down beside himself.In Wang Hongtai's memory, he never seemed to have received such a high treatment, he felt that he should express his excitement or some other emotion, but his mind could not help but float up a very inappropriate word:

The weasel gives the chicken a year...

After Wang Hongtai sat down, Gao Xin did not announce the start of the meeting.He cleared his throat and said to the people:

"Teacher, today we are holding an expert meeting, the main topic is to discuss the national reinstallation office delivered to our chemical department of ruthenium catalyst synthetic ammonia research topical.The application report on this topic was written by Mr. Wang Hongtai with the full cooperation of the teachers of the whole department.Teacher Wang did not bear the high expectations, and accepted the questioning of reinstallation experts in Beijing, so that this topic was approved.The re-installation office has provided 500,000 yuan in funding for this project, which is the highest amount of funding the whole school has received in this project declaration, which is the honor of all teachers in our chemical department!"

uh... Wang Hongtai is a bit embarrassed.He is obviously the proposer of the research project, how did he become the "writing"?The so-called writing, is people came up with an idea, they are responsible for writing it out, it is hard to say, is a meeting recorder.If the writing of this statement can also be debatable, then the project is said to be reinstalled and delivered to the entire chemical department, it seems that the taste is not quite right.

The subject of the school is always to explain the specific leader.Although it can be said that the subject of Pujiang Jiaotong University, or the subject undertaken by the Department of Chemical Industry, it must be said internally that this is Professor Zhang's subject, or Professor Li's subject, which is vague and belongs to the name of the whole system?If this is the whole topic, then who has the final say?

Wang Hongtai is an unsociable person, encountering this kind of thing, he suddenly did not know how to deal with it.He was willing to refute Gao Xinwei's words, but he felt that it was not appropriate to do it directly with the head of the department in public.He opened his mouth several times without making a sound.At this time, Gao Xin did not continue to say:

"The importance of the National Equipment Science and Technology Fund, I think it does not need to be repeated.The state has entrusted such an important project to us, we must concentrate on the strength of the whole system, work hard to tackle the problem, forge ahead, with the most full enthusiasm, the most rigorous attitude, complete the research task of the project, and hand over the most perfect answer to the country."

“High ... high ... high director, concentrate all the strength, ... some unnecessary?”Wang Hongtai spoke with a thump.This is a big project, of course, it needs manpower, but the teachers in the department have their own research direction, and many people do not understand this problem at all.For example, Qu Shoulin, he is a big cow, but he knows nothing about this kind of thing, so that he makes a joke of "nail catalyst".What is the point of focusing these teachers who do not understand this problem in the research group?

Hearing Wang Hongtai's words, Gao Xinwei's face suddenly sank, and he said seriously: "Little King, your idea is very dangerous!"Reloading the office to us such a big project, how can we take it lightly?Do you think that sending you to Beijing alone means that you can do this project alone?”

“No, I never thought I could do the project alone.Two days ago, I have communicated with several teachers in the department, including Tang Ruihao, Huang Yu, Zhang Qiang...” Wang Hongtai said several names, all of whom are teachers engaged in this research in the Department of Chemistry, and his relationship with him is also good on weekdays.He said: “Some of them agreed to participate in the project.In addition, there are several experts on the Pujiang Chemical Bureau, and I have asked them about the problem of synthetic ammonia catalysts in the past, and when the project starts, I will invite them to come and participate."

Gao Xin did not frown and said, "Tang Rui good, Huang Yu are all young lecturers, the weight is not enough."As for the experts of the Pujiang Chemical Bureau, it is okay to ask them to come and have a meeting occasionally, but if you expect them to help us complete this project, where will we put the face of Pu Jiaotong?We are not in our department without well-known professors, so why should we go so far and go to experts in other units?”

“But...” Wang Hongtai didn’t know what to say.These well-known professors in the department are not engaged in this direction, and what is the use of well-known?But now these people are sitting in front of themselves, how can they say this in front of others?

Gao Xin did not care about Wang Hongtai's attitude, he said: "This matter, the department attaches great importance, we have just met to discuss."The opinion of the expert committee is to set up a special research group, with Professor Qu Shousheng as the leader, I serve as the executive deputy leader, Professor Wu Ronggen and Professor Cheng Zhenrong serve as the second and third deputy leaders of the project.You are more familiar with this project and a teacher who reports to Beijing, so the expert committee decided to appoint you as the fourth deputy head of the research group.As for the other members of the group, we will discuss it again.You say that they are interested in Tang Rui, and you can absorb them and do some daily work."

"The fourth deputy leader..." Wang Hongtai's heart of the alpaca running, is there a mistake, this is my application of the project, how did I become the fourth deputy team leader?And Yusheng, who actually became the project leader, is he good?

Gao Xin did not feel a little embarrassed at this time, after all, the intellectuals in the 1980s were still more facey, and the professor had not yet evolved to be called a beast, and he knew how much it was called shame.He coughed up a fake and said, "Little Wang, in fact, the ranking of this position is only false, Professor Qu and Professor Wu, they just hang a name in the research group, mainly to make the superior leaders feel that we attach more importance to, sent a very strong camp."As for myself, hanging out as a deputy leader is to serve everyone.The project is done, involving the use of the laboratory, equipment purchase, reimbursement and other work, someone has to run errands?

“Well, well, okay.”Wang Hongtai compromised.Since Gao Xin did not say that the big cows were just hanging names, presumably they felt such a big topic, they were a little embarrassed to stay away from it, so they came to rub the heat.Wang Hongtai does not care about others and he grabs credit, and even makes achievements in the future, so that several professors sign a name, Wang Hongtai can also accept.Although the fourth deputy leader seems to be relatively low-ranking, but listen to Gao Xinwei's meaning, this research work will still be presided over by him, as long as he can do things, why should he tangle in this false name?

People can't go down under the roof, and they can't bow down.As Gao Xin did not say, to do the subject, involving a lot of things, laboratory arrangements, equipment procurement, reimbursement of funds, and use of graduate students, are the need for department leadership coordination.You do not let the leader touch at all, can the leader make you convenient?

“Dad, Mr. President, your future is very ambitious.Yes, when you evaluate an associate professor next year, the department will put you first.You've made such a big contribution, you know that."

Gao Xin did not throw another carrot, which made Wang Hongtai feel a few more comfortable in his heart.
