They’re all reborn, what’s wrong with being a little more almighty?

Chapter 170 Even if you have money, you can’t be a big grievance
When Senior Brother Liu mentioned the surplus of scientific research funds, Zhang Wei had already guessed what Senior Brother Liu wanted.

However, when Senior Brother Liu really asked for money, Zhang Wei still stared at Senior Brother Liu for a few seconds, then put on a concerned expression and asked:
"Senior Brother Liu, has something happened at home? Someone is sick and it will cost a lot of money to see a doctor? Or is there something else involved? Just tell us and we will help you find a solution."

"You misunderstood. It's not my personal matter. My family is not sick or in trouble." Senior Brother Liu said quickly.

"Everyone in your family is very nice? Then why do you need money? You must have encountered a scam, right? Brother Liu, you usually stay in school. You don't know that the world is dangerous and there are so many scammers out there!

And scammers like to pick on inexperienced intellectuals like you to deceive you. You can’t believe that Qin Shihuang gave money to Bill Gates’ illegitimate son! "

After hearing this, Meng Heming must have called him an expert.

Senior Brother Liu had no choice but to say: "I want these 100,000 yuan, which is used for scientific research. It is scientific research funding."

"Are you taking a private job outside?" Zhang Wei continued to act stupid.

"How can this be possible! Besides, I'm not studying engineering, so if I have any private work, it's not my turn!" Senior Brother Liu said.

"What about school scientific research projects? School projects are funded by the school!" Zhang Wei still had a cute expression on his face.

What's more, the rules for funding applications came from Senior Brother Liu himself.

……

"It seems that the scientific research funds have not been spent, which is also a troublesome thing!"

Looking at Senior Brother Liu's lost back, Zhang Wei felt no sympathy in his heart, but instead felt a little irritated.

"Don't you have to make a budget before applying for funds? Even if it's not enough, you can apply for more from the school!" Zhang Wei continued to practice Tai Chi.

In fact, when Senior Brother Liu mentioned the remaining funds for the project, Zhang Wei had already guessed his purpose. However, Zhang Wei did not rush to make a decision, but deliberately pretended to be dumbfounded, and finally let Senior Brother Liu take the initiative to bring the topic to Comply with the funding application process.

There are rules for everything, especially in scientific research. All rules and regulations in the laboratory need to be strictly followed, so when Zhang Wei rejected Senior Brother Liu on the grounds of non-compliance, he really had nothing to say.

"Zhang Wei, listen to me, this project of mine is really good! Once the results are produced, it will be a major breakthrough in the study of cell perception and adaptability." Senior Brother Liu continued to persuade.

Zhang Wei showed an expression of sudden realization, and then he said: "According to what you said, if you need scientific research funds, you should go to your supervisor. This is the formal process of applying for funds."

Since you can't get the 100,000 yuan through the formal funding application process, then I, a non-compliant place, will not dare to give it to you! Senior Brother Liu, please understand this. "

As long as the rules are mentioned, Zhang Wei will have an excuse to reject Senior Brother Liu openly.

Zhang Wei returned the fruit basket to Senior Brother Liu and personally took him to the stairs.

Senior Brother Liu had no choice but to explain: "You have to be able to take charge of the project independently before you can directly apply for funding. How can we graduate students be qualified to apply for funding? We all apply for funding from our tutors.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the four of them finished the dinner and returned to the dormitory.

Zhang Wei let out a long sigh: "Senior Brother Liu, I'm just an undergraduate, and I don't understand the advanced professional knowledge, but I think there must be some reason why your instructor didn't grant you funding.

If we want to do a scientific research project, we have to apply to our tutor. What the tutor flows out from his fingers is our project funds. The specific amount that can flow out basically depends on the tutor's mood. "

"I see, Senior Brother Liu, you know, I'm only a freshman and I don't understand this at all."

Zhang Wei's words immediately made Senior Brother Liu unable to argue. As Zhang Wei said, if Brother Liu's project is really meaningful, there is no need to apply to the department, and his tutor can easily pass it. Is there any need to come to Zhang Wei?
The supervisor refuses to grant funds to graduate students. Nine times out of ten, they think that the project is not good, either it cannot produce any results, or it does not have much research value.

"I came to you for help just because we don't have enough funds." Senior Brother Liu said.

"It's not because my mentor refused to grant me funds, so I came here to beg you." Senior Brother Liu was quite straightforward.

"Since your scientific research project is so meaningful, it is even more important to apply for funding through formal procedures. I believe that the leaders in the department will not miss such a meaningful scientific research project." Zhang Wei said immediately.

"After you've had enough wine and food, let's wash up and get ready for bed!" Ye Haotian stretched out, looking lazy, and took out the key and prepared to open the door.

The classmates in the dormitory next door heard Ye Haotian's voice and immediately stuck their heads out: "You are finally back. Your dormitory is very lively tonight!"

"Our dormitory is lively? Are you kidding us? The four of us have gone out and there is no one in the dormitory. How can it be lively? Is it inviting thieves?" Ye Haotian asked.

"This night, several waves of guests came to your dormitory. Everyone asked if this was Zhang Wei's dormitory. It seems that they all came to see Zhang Wei. Some of them came carrying things!" the classmate next door continued to explain. road.

"They are all looking for me? Do you know them?" Zhang Wei asked immediately.

"I don't know him, he seems to be a senior." The other party replied.

"I understand, they are here to ask for funds again, and they really treat me as a big enemy." Zhang Wei sighed, and then said: "I don't know who it was that exposed the fact that I still had funds left. ”

"Why do other people need to take care of this kind of thing? This is money. I don't know how many people are watching!"

Ye Haotian paused for a moment, then explained: "As long as you do a lot of experiments, you will gradually become a budget expert, and you can accurately know how much it costs to conduct an experiment!

For the project you are doing, you can know how much reagents and equipment are consumed, how much the reagents and equipment are used, and how much is left.

If you don’t believe me, ask Chen Ming. He knows the experimental equipment in the Department of Physics. He knows how much it costs to start each machine and how many kilowatt-hours of electricity it consumes when running for one hour. "

"That's right." The autistic man nodded.

"I really don't know much about this aspect. I used to direct others to do experiments, and I'm used to being the boss." Zhang Wei replied.

Ye Haotian continued: "I think it's just the beginning for the graduate students to ask you for funding. Maybe the professors in the biology department are already eyeing your funding balance!"

"Professor? That's not true! Professors can't apply for projects and apply for funding from the school. Why do you need to ask for money from Viagra?" Lu Yunxiang expressed that he did not believe that professors would have such no limit. "Xiao Lu, don't overestimate the professor's integrity. In the more than a year since I came to Tsinghua University, all the professors have lied to me!" Zhang Wei snorted coldly, and then said: "It seems that these days, I You have to hide for a while and don’t go back to the biology department recently.”

……

Zhang Wei thought, if you can't afford to offend him, why can't you hide him? On a campus as big as Tsinghua University, there are plenty of places to hide and be quiet. If you really can't, just go to the corner of the library and find a cat, and it can turn into a little transparent one.

However, early the next morning, Zhang Wei received a call from Meng Heming, asking him to go to the biology department.

As a result, as soon as I arrived at the door of the biology department, I was stopped by an acquaintance.

"Teacher Zhang Wei, I finally found you!"

Zhang Wei followed the voice and saw that the person speaking was a professor named Su from the Department of Biology. He also taught an introductory biology class to freshmen this semester.

It's just that Zhang Wei has special privileges and doesn't usually have to go to class, so Zhang Wei only attended two sessions of Professor Su's class.

"Professor Su, I can't afford to call you a teacher!" Zhang Wei replied immediately.

"If you are patient, there is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher!" Professor Su asked with a smile: "Do you have time now? Come and sit in my office? I have this year's new tea there!"

"What do you want from me?" Zhang Wei asked warily.

"Come to my office and let's talk slowly!"

"Except for scientific research funding, everything else is easy to discuss!" Zhang Wei first reminded him.

"Hey, I really just want to get funding for scientific research!" Professor Su said shamelessly.

"Professor Su, it seems that you are also eyeing my little surplus funds. To tell you the truth, I can't make the decision about this fund now! I promised Principal Gu that the use of the remaining funds must be subject to his arrangements."

"Principal Gu? Do you care how much funding balance you have?" Professor Su expressed disbelief.

"The main reason is that I am too young and it is my first time to be responsible for a project. Principal Gu is worried about me and is afraid that I will make mistakes, so he specifically told me not to let me manage money." Zhang Wei pretended to be helpless. expression.

"That's right! That's such a pity!" Professor Su pouted unhappily.

When faced with a professorial figure asking for money, Zhang Wei couldn't argue with the rules.

Rules are dead, but people are alive. If you become a professor, you can definitely afford to break one or two rules occasionally.

So Zhang Wei simply used Principal Gu as a shield. Professor Su would not really go to Principal Gu for verification anyway.

After sending Professor Su away, Zhang Wei came to Meng Heming's office.

"Zhang Wei is here? Sit down quickly!" Meng Heming was smiling, but this smile made Zhang Wei feel shuddering.

"Director Meng, are you also keeping an eye on my little fund balance?" Zhang Wei asked immediately.

"What? Someone is eyeing your budget balance?"

"Not only some, but a lot!"

"Normally, such a thing as a fund balance is a rare occurrence in decades! In the past two days, a lot of people have come to me to inquire. You are now the most popular person in the department!"

"I think he's the big grudge in the department!" Zhang Wei snorted coldly.

Meng Heming asked: "Do you want to listen to my advice?"

"Then tell me quickly."

"You can lend this money to the department and let the department manage it uniformly, so you don't have to worry about it. When you start working on projects again, the department will return the money to you." Meng Heming laughed. said.

"Lend it to the department? Are you sure you're not a meat bun beating a dog? You've gone and never come back? You've been doing this for a long time and you still think of me as a big scapegoat!"

Meng Heming smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Then there is a second way, which is to start a new project as soon as possible, so that the funds can be put to use!"

"You really think highly of me! I just published an article in "Science" and asked me to work on a new project. That's not how the production team's donkeys work! Forget it, I'd better find a way on my own!"

Zhang Wei's voice changed as he spoke, and then he asked: "Director Meng, you came to me today not to defraud me of this little fund balance, right?"

"Look at what you said, what do you mean by lying! I am that kind of person, Meng Heming!" Meng Heming continued: "Tomorrow there will be leaders coming to inspect the work, and they will be looking at your nucleoside modification technology. Prepare yourself. It’s a good time to report to the leader.”

"Who is the leader this time?"

"Sinopharm Group." Meng Heming replied.

Zhang Wei thought for a while and replied: "Sinopharm should be a deputy ministerial-level state-owned enterprise, the same level as our Tsinghua University. I have to prepare for this!"

Zhang Wei instantly put on the posture of a great scholar, as if to say, the person coming here is too low-level and I don’t want to serve him!
Meng Heming immediately explained: "This time is different. This time there are not only people from Sinopharm, but also three academicians, two from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and one from the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Three academicians, are they enough for you to receive them in person?"

"Academician, that's okay." Zhang Wei nodded.

Meng Heming continued: "To be precise, they came this time to investigate the credibility of the mRNA vaccine! If the investigation results are optimistic, Sinopharm should invest in the research and development of the mRNA vaccine!"
