Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 297 Theory is useless? Mathematics is irrelevant?
Qu Jinmou opened his eyes wide, and his smiling face suddenly stopped smiling.

How did he know that Qiu Yong would suddenly stab him in the back?
Where is the tacit understanding and good partnership you promised us?
Where is the promised academic brotherhood?
Is a mere Xu Qingshan worth your backstabbing?

Qiu Yong adjusted his glasses politely, ignored Qu Jinmu's resentful look, and pulled Ye Xincheng into the car.

Qu Jinmou had no choice but to take the others to another car. Even until they got on the car, his eyes automatically followed Xu Qingshan and the others.

When in the car, Qu Jinmou's low mood made the doctors around him afraid to say a word. They could all feel the resentment from him that was so strong that it was tangible.

Qiu Yong, who successfully joined Xu Qingshan and his team, never relaxed his smile.

"Aoyama."

"Xiao Xu."

"In fact, we are here to answer to the Liangxi government, not to Suntech's management. Their operations are not good, which is why we have the current problems. We don't need to attend any social events then."

Qiu Yong asked Ye Xincheng to explain the situation in detail to Xu Qingshan and the others, but he had to shout a few times from time to time to make his presence felt.

"Qiu Yuan."

Xu Qingshan looked at Qiu Yong helplessly.

Qiu Yong then raised his hands in surrender and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. I won't say anything."

Just as Hua Qing and his group got on the business car and headed towards Liangxi Suntech, someone had already reported the situation here to the chairman's office at Suntech headquarters.

Shi Zhengrong sat at his desk, twisting a silicon board in his hands.

He didn't look very well, and he looked a little dull. The wrinkles on his face seemed to have increased a lot because of his recent troubles.

"Chairman, Professor Qiu from Huaqing is here, and Xiao Li and his team are meeting them now."

The male secretary wearing gold-rimmed glasses knocked on the door twice and walked into the office to report.

"Well, okay, I'll clean up later, wash my face, and then go to greet him."

Shi Zhengrong barely perked up a bit when he heard the news of Qiu Yong's arrival.

"However, Chairman, this time there are some special circumstances."

The secretary pushed up his glasses, looked at the documents in his arms, and said.

"What special situation?"

Shi Zhengrong was like a wounded lion crawling on the table; if he raised his eyes slightly, one could see fatigue and impatience in his eyes.

"After Huaqing confirmed the list with us, there were a few more visitors, but one of them was not an ordinary person. He was the young mathematician from Peking University, Xu Qingshan."

The male secretary paused and continued to add.

"But Xiao Li and the others said that when Xu Qingshan got off the plane, he was accompanied by three girls. It looked like he was here for vacation. Professor Qiu and the others were very nice to him, but I guess..."

The male secretary did not continue speaking, but Shi Zhengrong understood what he meant.

The male secretary then added.

"Do we need to provide them with additional benefits? The room they arranged doesn't seem very suitable."

Shi Zhengrong just smiled coldly.

"No, we are mainly entertaining Professor Qiu."

There was a hint of disdain towards Xu Qingshan in Shi Zhengrong's words.

"As for Xu Qingshan, if he wants to visit, let him visit. He doesn't need any special privileges."

Shi Zhengrong put down the silicon panel in his hand, stood up from his seat, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at his huge photovoltaic empire, his brows still furrowed.

"You are so young, you try your luck to achieve some success, but you squander your reputation like this. You don't know how to cherish your reputation at all. Sooner or later, you will run into problems."

Shi Zhengrong had been pent up in emotions for some time, especially in 09, and had no place to vent them. Today, when Xu Qingshan was suddenly mentioned, he could no longer suppress his anger.

"We at Shangde are here to do serious work. He brought people here to pick up girls. How much does he look down on us at Shangde? We are busy with matters of life and death, matters that affect the national situation. He is really..."

It would have been fine if he didn't vent his anger, but once he did, he couldn't stop.

The male secretary standing by didn't dare to interrupt at all.

Shi Zhengrong is called the Old Lion King in Liangxi Shangde. This not only refers to his prestige, but also to his temper.

There were some noises in the office of the chairman of Liangxi Suntech, and it took a long time for things to calm down.

The male secretary wisely went over to pack up and prepare documents and gifts for Shi Zhengrong to meet Qiu Yong.

Shi Zhengrong did not say anything, but sat silently on the sofa.

Only after he had packed up and received the message from Xiao Li and others did Shi Zhengrong get up and, accompanied by his male secretary, go to the square in front of the Liangxi Suntech office building to greet Qiu Yong and others.

A lot of people were arranged here to act as spectators, and red silk and banners were hung, and a red carpet was laid on the ground.

Although the overall look is a bit rustic, but in fact the layout is still full.

Shi Zhengrong stared at Qiu Yong who was slowly getting out of the car with sharp eyes.

Xu Qingshan just came over to take a look and confirm his guess. He had no intention of stealing the limelight. He took the girls and followed quietly. He asked Ye Xincheng to follow Qiu Yong. He planned to say hello to Shi Zhengrong later, be polite and well-behaved, and thank him for allowing him to visit and investigate. That would be enough.

But he didn't expect that when he got off the car, Xu Qingshan keenly felt that the look Shi Zhengrong just gave him didn't seem very friendly.

But he did not show any abnormality, but tried to reduce his influence as much as possible in such occasions.

Over there, Shi Zhengrong was already chatting with Qiu Yong.

"Mr. Shi, it's great to see you again. I've seen your interview before. More than a year ago, Niu believed that the domestic photovoltaic industry would undergo a major reshuffle by 2010. It's not easy to persist until now. But I heard that you have to reduce production and lay off employees. From the second half of 09 to now, you have laid off nearly 800 people?"

Qiu Yong did not state his position, but simply talked about his understanding of the situation of Liangxi Shangde.

Shi Zhengrong's smile froze, but he still maintained a very polite smile and answered.

"I did say that. Especially after the financial crisis and the plunge in oil prices, photovoltaic companies are having a hard time. But it's nonsense to say that we are laying off employees. This is just the normal survival of the fittest. We make staff adjustments every year."

Both middle-aged men are very imposing.

Although Qiu Yong looks gentle and peaceful, he is as steady as a rock and as immovable as a mountain.

Shi Zhengrong was like a dormant lion, carefully resisting Qiu Yong's provocations.

Although Shi Zhengrong had made sufficient preparations to welcome Qiu Yong, and although Qiu Yong was very concerned about this horizontal project, he also had other purposes.

Both of them were very calm, but their expressions did not change.

"Hahahaha, it seems that Mr. Shi manages the business very well."

Qiu Yong said indifferently.

"It's OK. We'll do our best. The reshuffle of the photovoltaic industry has already occurred ahead of schedule. Many small and medium-sized photovoltaic component manufacturers have begun to face various challenges and difficulties, such as loss of orders and tight funds. Suntech is not the only one facing difficulties."

Shi Zhengrong continued.

His voice was very calm, as if it was the male secretary and not him who had just lost his temper in the chairman's office.

“But Liangxi Suntech is the number one photovoltaic company in China.”

Qiu Yong stared at Shi Zhengrong and spoke softly.

“No matter how big it is, Suntech is still a photovoltaic company.”

Shi Zhengrong was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand. "Please."

"please."

Qiu Yong nodded.

The two walked in side by side. Xu Qingshan and the others wanted to follow, but were stopped by the male secretary.

"Sir, this is mainly for the meeting between Professor Qiu and Mr. Shi. The rest of you can go to the side hall for a quick meal, and then someone will take you to your hotel room to rest."

Xu Qingshan stopped.

Qiu Yong, who was about to continue walking in front, also stopped.

It's not a good look to say such things in this situation.

Because Qiu Yong was not the only one walking in. Qu Jinmou followed him and no one stopped him. Ye Xincheng followed him and no one stopped him either. But when he reached Xu Qingshan, he was stopped.

This is clearly a show of not giving Xu Qingshan face.

In fact, the male secretary is also doing this reluctantly.

He knew Xu Qingshan, and he knew very well that his boss could afford to offend Xu Qingshan, but he could not.

He could only pretend that he didn't know Xu Qingshan, calling him that, and trying to dissuade him.

Qu Jinmou turned around and looked at the male secretary.

"Hello, Qingshan is also a specially-appointed researcher of our research team. You may not have seen the relevant news, but Comrade Qingshan also has relatively deep attainments in the theoretical field of mathematical physics and is also a world-class mathematician."

Speaking of which.

The meaning should be understood, but when the male secretary looked at Shi Zhengrong and saw Shi Zhengrong's expression, he was sweating profusely and could only speak with gritted teeth.

"I'm sorry, I really don't pay much attention to scientific research news, but I think our Suntech is an applied technology company and a key industrial enterprise. Those too cutting-edge theories should be useless, and mathematics should have nothing to do with our technological production."

The male secretary said with difficulty.

Only when he saw Shi Zhengrong's eyes did he feel relieved.

"you"

Qu Jinmou was suddenly so angry that he laughed. He pointed at the male secretary. At the moment, he had so many words to scold him that he couldn't pick any.

"Chairman Shi, is this the quality of your Suntech employees?"

Qiu Yong turned around and asked Shi Zhengrong with a forced smile.

"Each has its own functions. In Europe and the United States, this is called professionalism."

Shi Zhengrong said indifferently.

The arrogance was evident in his words.

"Theory is useless? Mathematics is irrelevant?"

Xu Qingshan had a strange look on his face. He looked at the male secretary, then at Shi Zhengrong, and understood what was going on.

He stood up muttering, but did not take any drastic action. Instead, he stood in front of the male secretary.

Shi Zhengrong narrowed his eyes, Qiu Yong stopped talking, and Qu Jinmou put away his attitude. They were all looking at Xu Qingshan, waiting for his next move.

Xu Qingshan walked up to the male secretary.

Seeing Xu Qingshan approaching, the male secretary's expression changed and he subconsciously took a half step back. Ye Qianqian couldn't help but sneered.

The male secretary's words just now and his retreat at this moment made the situation become subtle.

Shi Zhengrong's face darkened.

"Can you tell me what is the core of photovoltaics? What is the essence of materials?"

Xu Qingshan raised his hand and gently smoothed the collar of the male secretary, straightening up his collar which was almost wet and a little wrinkled.

He asked in a soft voice.

"me."

In fact, the male secretary knew it. He was a technical background. If he didn’t even know this, all his years of work would have been in vain.

"If you don't understand this, then what are you doing with photovoltaics?"

Xu Qingshan had a smile on his face, but his words were very...
Shi Zhengrong was about to speak when he heard Xu Qingshan speak again.

"Shanghai Tech is so big, but it doesn't even know whether theory and mathematics are helpful for actual production applications. No wonder it needs the government to invite Huaqing's research team to improve the process and solve technical difficulties."

Xu Qingshan spoke mercilessly, as if he was holding a needle and stabbing it into Shi Zhengrong's face.

After saying this, Xu Qingshan looked at Shi Zhengrong with a smile and said.

"I thought Director Shi was a researcher, and since he was receiving subsidies from the government, he should know the importance of technology. It seems that Director Shi learned advanced foreign experience and applied for those patents as a manager, right?"

Shi Zhengrong glared with dissatisfaction in his eyes. He looked at Xu Qingshan and spoke word by word.

"Young man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Shi Zhengrong's words were full of danger.

Xu Qingshan also narrowed his eyes, stared at Shi Zhengrong, and asked in a similarly slowed tone.

"How come Suntech's technology is taking advantage of other companies? The country's No. 1 photovoltaic company doesn't even have the ability to conduct its own research. How can we trust you?"

Xu Qingshan let go of the hand that was holding the male secretary's collar.

When Xu Qingshan spoke just now, his tone was a little too tough, causing the male secretary closest to him to feel uncomfortable.

When he was suddenly released, he staggered and fell to the ground.

Others were a little confused.

But while sitting on the ground, he saw Xu Qingshan walking step by step towards Shi Zhengrong.

Because Xu Qingshan was quite tall, he could look down at Shi Zhengrong from a high place.

Shi Zhengrong was not familiar with this situation and did not like Xu Qingshan's attitude.

As the former richest man in the country and the domestic photovoltaic king, when had he ever been treated with such an expression and temper?
He is usually the one who gives others a cold shoulder.

Such as this time.

He felt that even if he needed help from Huaqing this time, Xu Qingshan was from Peking University, so he didn't need to show any respect to a young man like Xu Qingshan who was just starting out.

But he has become accustomed to everything going his way.

Xu Qingshan was the first young man he met who treated him like this.

"Young man, you"

Shi Zhengrong was about to refute with a sullen face, but was interrupted by Xu Qingshan who raised his hand.

"Director Shi, keep talking about young people. It seems that you no longer have any enthusiasm for technology. Sometimes, when people are really old, they should stop occupying positions and doing nothing."

Xu Qingshan's face was close to Shi Zhengrong, and he reached out and touched Shi Zhengrong's chest.

The arrogance of young people is clearly revealed.
