However, I have been secretly paying attention to the progress of Sun Lulu's case, but I don't dare to ask Tong Yao about Sun Lulu anymore. So although I am secretly worried, it is useless.
One afternoon a few days later, I suddenly received a call from Principal Zhang, "Come to my office right away."
I didn't dare to be lazy, so I hurriedly agreed, and then drove quickly to his place. I had a feeling in my heart: He definitely wanted to talk to me about his daughter.
But when I entered his office, he didn't talk to me about this matter at all. Instead, he took out my paper and said to me: "I read it, it's very good. And I have already called the magazine."
, they agreed to publish it immediately, and it will be published as the first key paper in the next issue."
Of course I was very happy and couldn’t help but say thank you.
"How are the clinical trials going now?" he asked.
"It went very well." I replied, and then added: "Principal Zhang, I suddenly had a new idea recently. I think this project can be expanded, and perhaps it can also be used for therapeutic research on cancer patients..."
I immediately told him my idea, and then added: "External treatment of cancer patients without the need for surgery can achieve the same effect as surgical resection, and it is not easy to cause the spread of cancer cells. I think this kind of research
Very promising.”
He nodded and said: "The idea is very good. But I think it should be done step by step. It is better to complete the declared project first, and then proceed to the next step of research after the project results. This has two advantages. First, it can be released in advance.
Scientific research results are definitely very helpful for your academic status. Secondly, if the project is implemented in phases, you can apply for more scientific research funds. After all, there are two projects, and you can apply for a new one based on the success of the first project.
If you have a project, there will be more funding for scientific research. Don't you think so? Your problem now is to produce results as soon as possible, get a master's degree as soon as possible, and obtain the status of master's supervisor as soon as possible. In this way, you may be promoted to a full professor as an exception.
This is something that kills multiple birds with one stone. So I hope you will think about it carefully."
I have to admit that what he said makes sense, and this is the reality. Although this is too realistic and not entirely from the perspective of academic research, many professors around us are doing this.
.In short, it is a principle: to obtain the greatest benefits in the shortest time and with the least expenditure of energy.
"I understand, thank you for reminding me." I said hurriedly.
He handed the paper to me, "Hurry up and submit the paper. Don't delay."
I took it and said, "Principal Zhang, do you have anything else? If nothing happens, I'll go back."
"Don't be busy. I'll tell you something else." He said this.
I had to sit patiently and wait for him to continue talking about the following things.
"Last time I planned to invite you and Wang Xin to have a meal together, but then I thought about it and decided that it was not necessary. Because you and he are completely different people. He is not as good as you in terms of academics and work ability.
I know this very well, but his biggest advantage is that he is very loyal. I also reused him because of this. But I also know that you look down on him in your heart. In the end, it is you.
He is still rather arrogant. What about him? He feels a little inferior when in front of you, so what happened last time. Therefore, I think it is impossible for the two of you to really be able to talk to each other. Mediocrity and excellence are different.
Like the two poles of a magnet, they can never be put together. Hey! Feng Xiao, as the principal, I have to use anyone. Although mediocre people can't share my worries at work, I use it to rest assured, and excellent people
People are often too proud, and sometimes even I, the principal, look down on them. Therefore, I would rather use mediocre people to compare the two. This is the philosophy of officialdom, and there is nothing that can be done about it." He then sighed, keeping his eyes on me.
look at me.
I immediately understood what he meant, and I was suddenly startled. I hurriedly said: "Principal Zhang, I'm not looking down on you, right?"
"Why didn't you think about me when you were with my daughter?" His face suddenly turned ugly, "Feng Xiao, don't blame me for telling you this matter repeatedly. As Zhang Shiyu's father, as you
Principal. You simply don't take me seriously by doing this, and you are completely challenging my authority."
I suddenly started to sweat, "Principal Zhang, I...is not like that..."
He waved his hand to me and said: "Stop talking. We won't talk about this matter anymore, because it is useless and meaningless to talk about it anymore. It has happened, and I believe you feel guilty. But, what have you done about recent events?
Won't you tell me? You like to meddle in my own business, and you even want to interfere in my family's affairs. That's fine, but you didn't tell me afterward! Isn't this even more inappropriate?"
I was so ashamed that I almost ran out of his office immediately, "Principal Zhang, I... No, I just think..."
I found that I always felt an invisible pressure in front of him, and there was a sense of fear that made me breathless. Every time in such a situation, I didn’t know how to defend myself, let alone what to do.
How to explain your inner thoughts? Whenever you encounter such a situation, your mind will go blank, and your thinking function will no longer exist.
Fortunately, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Feng Xiao, I can't understand myself. Why don't I dislike you at all every time you do this? Later I thought about it, actually
Every time you do that, you do it for my own good. Don’t you think so?"
I hurriedly said: "Yes, that's right."
"So, I don't think anything of you because of your kindness towards me. To be honest, I am very grateful to you. Because you not only helped me solve the last crisis, but also made me
My daughter has become mature. Not long ago, she came to see me, talked with me for a long time, admitted her mistakes to me for the first time, and also talked to me about her future ideals. These things made me very happy.
The poem is right, she said, the best people in the world to her are me and her mother, so she feels very sorry for us. Alas! In fact, we are the ones who really feel sorry for her. This is fine now,
Let her live with her mother for a while, and she may be more sensible when she is older... Feng Xiao, I am very grateful to you. Without you, the poetry would not have changed so quickly. So, I think you
It's more important to me, because Wang Xin can't handle such a thing well, and only you, Feng Xiao, have such ability and ability. The only thing I regret is that you don't agree to divorce your current wife, but I also
I understand you very much. If you really agree to divorce your current wife, it shows that you are a ruthless and unjust person." His face became more and more cheerful, but I became even more uneasy.
I hurriedly said: "Principal Zhang, please stop talking. I am so ashamed and feel so sorry for you. If you say anything again, I may be so ashamed that I jump off the building."
He burst out laughing, "You know it's good to be ashamed. Okay, let's not talk about this matter anymore, let's talk about another thing. Feng Xiao, I'll ask you again today, do you really not want to do administrative work?"
?”
I was stunned and didn't react for a while. But he was looking at me with a smile on his face.
I came to my senses after a while, "Principal Zhang, what do you mean?"
"I have always reserved the position of Dean of Academic Affairs here for you. How about it? Can you think about it?" He looked at me with a smile and asked.
I suddenly felt a sense of loss: after all, I was still not as high as Wang Xin. So I pretended to think about it before replying: "I'm really too busy. First, I don't want to give up my major, and I
The scientific research project is in progress, and the second step will be carried out in the future. Secondly, you know the situation at my home, and I really can no longer take on too many work tasks. I know the position of the Dean of Academic Affairs, and he not only has to take care of all students in the school
In addition, I have to arrange teachers' teaching tasks, as well as a lot of social activities and outings for study and exchange. I am really not qualified for this kind of work. So, Principal Zhang, I'm sorry, I really can't obey your arrangement.
I have no choice but to live up to your expectations of me. I’m really sorry.”
He sighed: "As a man, at your age, it is the time to start a career, why do you give up so casually? You are so capable, smart, and have such a profound background. It's really great."
Pity."
I smiled bitterly and said: "One person has one life, I have already accepted my fate. Principal Zhang, thank you for your understanding."
He was still sighing, "Don't be so anxious to say such things. Think about it again and then reply to me. Or you can ask your father-in-law before you speak."
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for me to say anything else, and my biggest hope now was to leave here as soon as possible. So I said, "Okay, I'll think about it again."
He stopped talking, smiled at me and then lowered his head to look at the document in front of him. I hurriedly said goodbye to him, but he didn't keep me anymore.
After leaving his office, I breathed a long sigh of relief.
I found that this person is really powerful. Every time I would be puzzled by him, I would be at a loss as to what to do. Every time I came out of his office, I would be covered in sweat.
The same is true today.
Then I called Lin Yi. Now I am very careful. I must tell him something like this. Because Principal Zhang’s words just now have hinted at me. He obviously wants to convey his care for me to Lin Yi through me.
Easy to go there.
I don’t know what kind of situation the two of them are currently in, but I can completely feel the gap between them, because this incident itself shows that although Principal Zhang hopes to communicate with Lin Yi, he is unwilling
Using a direct approach, I really felt the subtlety of their relationship. (To be continued)
