From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 169 Cooperation and Leadership
"Teacher Zhang, if you just listen to what I say, you may think that I am bragging. How about I call people over and you can take a look at them one by one?"

Fu Mingli looked at Zhang Qihua with a smile on his face.

Zhang Qihua was speechless. Fu Mingli's excessive enthusiasm made him unable to resist.

Fu Mingli's behavior made him feel, to use an inappropriate metaphor, it was like going to a KTV and Mama Sang asked a group of princesses to come in for him to choose from.

Zhang Qihua's brain started working quickly, thinking of ways to deal with it.

"Ahem, this, Academician Fu, I think this matter should be considered in the long term. I understand that the teachers at your school are all excellent, but..."

"Hey, Teacher Zhang, there's nothing to be desired. I think your proposal is very good. Our two families need to strengthen communication and carry out in-depth cooperation, so this personnel exchange focuses on communication. I understand your concerns, but don't worry, If you are not satisfied with the teachers we send for exchanges, you can return them at any time, and I will never have a second thought."

Before Zhang Qihua could finish speaking, Fu Mingli interrupted Zhang Qihua's words and blocked Zhang Qihua's words.

Zhang Qihua: (O_o)??
No, how did this become an exchange?I came here just to discuss cooperation, not to conduct personnel exchanges.

But he couldn't say anything, because he was the one who initiated this matter, and Zhang Qihua felt very uncomfortable.

Zhang Qihua thought for a while and knew that he could not continue to let Fu Mingli control the rhythm of the conversation, so he interrupted Fu Mingli's continued sales pitch.

"Academician Fu, so you agree to carry out in-depth cooperation with our Dongshan University Mathematics Research Center?"

"Well... cooperation is possible, but the leader of this cooperation... I hope that we, Tunghai University, can take the lead."

Zhang Qihua almost laughed out loud. We came up with a research plan and solved all your research difficulties for you. How can you have the nerve to say that you will be the main one?
"Teacher Zhang, you see you only have one research plan, but we in Donghai have to provide people, efforts and funds. As the leader, we in Donghai can't go too far, right?"

Zhang Qihua almost rolled his eyes to the sky in his heart.

How thick-skinned do you have to be to say such shameless words so calmly?
"Academician Fu, I believe that with your eyes, you can naturally see the value of this research plan. Originally, Lin Mo was not in favor of cooperating with Donghai University. I thought that Academician Fu thought highly of me and invited me to Dongshan University in person. I have always deeply regretted this, so now that I have the opportunity to cooperate, I immediately thought of Academician Fu, but I didn’t expect..."

Zhang Qihua shook his head as he spoke.

"Forget it, forget it, it seems that I am being sentimental. I should have listened to Lin Mo and went to Shuimu and Yanjing Normal University to have a look."

"Thank you, Academician Fu, for bothering you. I have to go to Yanjing, so I won't waste your time."

After saying that, Zhang Qihua stood up and left.

Fu Mingli was a little dumbfounded.

No, isn’t it possible to discuss cooperation?

Zhang Qihua stood up and reached for his backpack, but for some reason, Zhang Qihua's hand became unstable. The backpack turned over and several documents fell out of it.

Fu Mingli looked over and saw the names of the documents that were retrieved.

"Research on the classification of nilpotent elements of Lie algebras and their dual spaces", "Research on the divergence law of Lie group representation", "Research on the classification of unitary representation of Lie group", "Kac-Weisfeiler conjecture".

(｀Д)!!
Fu Mingli's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.

Just by looking at the names, you can tell that these documents are all about research related to Lie groups and Lie algebras, which is the research direction of the National Key Laboratory chaired by Fu Mingli. Some of them have been studied for several years.

If these plans are the same as the one just now...

"Zhang...Teacher Zhang, these...these..."

Fu Mingli's voice was trembling.

The reason why Fu Mingli is like this is because, if these are the same complete research plans as the "Research on Fractal Dimensions of Julia Sets" just now, it means that all the research projects in his laboratory are now All advantages in research progress will be lost.If these plans fall into the hands of Shuimu University and Yenching Normal University, I believe it won't be long before the research results are produced.

At that time, the research that I have invested in this national key laboratory for many years will be in vain.

Fu Mingli couldn't help but shudder.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Fu Mingli.

Because this will label Fu Mingli as incompetent. It is not certain whether he can still be the head of the national laboratory, or even whether he can retain his position as an academician.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Academician Fu, my hand slipped just now and I couldn't hold it steady."

Zhang Qihua squatted down and picked up the documents scattered on the ground one by one.

But he didn't expect that someone was faster than him.

Fu Mingli took a quick step, leaned down very quickly, picked up the documents one by one, and held them tightly in his hands.

"Thank you, Academician Fu."

Zhang Qihua reached out for the document picked up by Fu Mingli. He twitched, but did not twitch. He applied a little more strength, but still could not pull the document out of Fu Mingli's hand.

"Academician Fu?"

Fu Mingli's face was uncertain.

"Ah, Teacher Zhang, come on, sit down, why are you leaving before you finish what you just said? Come on, let's have a good talk."

Fu Mingli came to his senses and pushed Zhang Qihua back to his seat, but the documents were still tightly held in his hands.

Zhang Qihua knew that he was no match for Fu Mingli. He knew that he would make many mistakes if he spoke too much. He finally regained a little advantage, so Zhang Qihua did not respond in a hurry. He did not speak and just looked at Fu Mingli.

"Haha, Teacher Zhang, I think you don't need to go to Yanjing. Our Donghai University and your Dongshan University are both Dongzi generations, and we can be considered half fellow villagers. We have this kind of relationship. When we cooperate, we must cooperate properly and have a tacit understanding. Totally."

Zhang Qihua has finally seen what it means to talk nonsense, this is it.

"But Academician Fu, you just mentioned that Donghai University should be the main focus. We cannot agree to this. This is our bottom line."

"This is..."

Fu Mingli laughed.

"Haha, I just said it casually. Teacher Zhang, don't take it seriously. This is the leader. Of course, whoever contributes the most will take the lead..."

Zhang Qihua still said nothing and just looked at Fu Mingli.

Fu Mingli felt guilty when Zhang Qihua saw him, and couldn't help but move down from the experiment, focusing on the research plan in his hand.

Zhang Qihua didn't bother him and let him read. This book was just for cooperation with Fu Mingli.

After a long time, Fu Mingli finally raised his head, gritted his teeth, and sighed leisurely.

"Well, Teacher Zhang, this cooperation... is still based on you!"

Zhang Qihua let out a breath after hearing this, and a smile appeared on his face.
