In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 190 The teacher has already written a letter of guarantee to the students, what else do you want?

"... This is the situation. Xie Wei just expressed what the leaders were thinking... What they need is a team that works well together. We thought from the beginning that we were professional and they were not..."

Huang Huiqin, who was called, did not hide anything and told the two people the details of the project team's meeting.

Not that she wanted to.

This was instructed by Professor Meng Kun.

According to her own idea, it would be best if these three bastards went back to school as soon as possible to avoid embarrassing themselves here.

"But now they have driven us away. If we want to stay here..."

One person looked at Huang Huiqin with concern.

The other person also nodded hurriedly.

If they still don't realize the problem at this point, how can we expect any progress?
As long as they can stay here, they can definitely get a share of the project results, which can also add a highlight to their personal files. With their background, they cannot be unaware of the benefits to their future development.

"I didn't want to tell you, but Professor Meng also said that this matter requires a chicken... It will be difficult to handle if you all leave, or if all of you stay. If only two of you stay, go find Xie Wei. Although he is just a student, he has a special status in Harbin Institute of Technology. If you take the initiative to find him, Professor Meng can also help you..."

At this moment, Huang Huiqin felt helpless.

She hated both of them equally.

As long as you stay, you will get a share of the credit, and it will be a huge credit.

If Huang Huiqin was thinking in her heart, she didn't want these two guys who relied on their family background and had their eyes wide open to see to stay.

But at this moment I had to convey Professor Meng's words to them.

"I hate them just as much, but our work needs to be done by others! More people means faster progress. We should also do our part to throw the hat of backwardness to the other side of the Pacific Ocean!"

These were Meng Kun's exact words when he went to intercede for Huang Huiqin when Huang Huiqin couldn't understand why some of the people in front of them wanted to stay.

We must throw the hat of backwardness across the Pacific Ocean!

Once this is realized, it will mean that catching up with the UK and the US, which has been talked about for decades, will become a reality.

"If we want to shake off the backwardness and reach the other side of the Pacific Ocean, it is definitely not something that can be achieved by one person or one team. This requires the joint efforts of all of us. If one more person works hard, we will be a little closer to this goal!"

When Huang Huiqin was about to come over to find a few people, Associate Professor Meng Kun stopped her with a serious face and told her this very seriously.

As a young man, Xie Wei wanted to throw the backward label that China had worn for more than a hundred years onto the head of the most advanced country in the world across the Pacific Ocean.

And what about the people in front of me?

Still a young teacher!

There is such a huge gap between people.

"Think about it. Tomorrow morning's train ticket... Although Xie Wei is just a student, he is really the project leader. Even the department head of their school accepts his task arrangement..."

Huang Huiqin, who didn't want the two to stay, saw that they both looked hesitant, so she didn't say much and left after leaving this sentence.

She is also a worker-peasant-soldier college student. Born in the countryside, she also has a background: eight generations of poor peasants!
Originally, she was planning to return to where she came from to work after graduation. With the blessing of eight generations of poor peasant ancestors, she would have a bright future if she returned and joined the postal and telecommunications system.

Unfortunately, before I graduated, national policy changed - the college entrance examination was resumed.

Seeing that the workers, peasants and soldiers college students could not compare with the students taking the college entrance examination after its resumption due to their foundation and academic level, Huang Huiqin knew that relying solely on her family's eight generations of poor peasants would not allow her to make better progress, nor could she stay in school as a teacher. She gave up the assigned job and took the postgraduate entrance examination.

The two people in front of me stayed in school directly after graduation.

People are different.

"Okay, Mr. Huang, we will seriously consider it."

One person spoke.

Huang Huiqin did not stop and walked directly to the civil engineering building next to it.

"Luo Cheng, what should we do now?"

Looking at Huang Huiqin's back, Hou Yong asked Luo Cheng.

He was unwilling to go back.

If I don't go back, my life in the project team will definitely be difficult, and I will have to behave myself.

"If I go back like this, not to mention how the ministry and the school will handle it, just being kicked out right after arriving here is a big stain. I won't be willing to go back."

Luo Cheng is not stupid either.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chased Huang Huiqin out.

"If I stay, the school and the project team will definitely not have a good attitude, and they might even..."

Hou Yong took out a cigarette, threw one to Luo Cheng, then struck a match to light his own cigarette after lighting it for the other person.

At this moment, what he smoked was not a cigarette, but melancholy.

"Just bear with it! We shouldn't have listened to Wu Jiang in the first place. Harbin Institute of Technology doesn't care about our background at all...President Li Rui has been to the battlefield, and his former superiors are all great men. We can't afford to offend them."

Luo Cheng is sober.

Li Rui is shameless and protective of his own people. You will find out if you ask around.

The three of them were able to stay in school, it definitely would not have been possible without a family background.

But this background can only allow them to stay in school, otherwise they would not have been sent to Harbin Institute of Technology by the school.

For project results?

Doesn’t the school have any projects?
"Then let's go find Xie Wei?"

"No, doesn't he think that we didn't give him and Harbin Institute of Technology face? Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for lunch and book a table. Ask Professor Meng to invite him and several other project leaders to join us. Let's apologize to them in public..."

Luo Cheng thought about it and felt that he couldn't go directly to Xie Wei.

Huang Huiqin also explained clearly why the other party acted like this.

Only when one can bend and stretch can he show his true manliness.

After the two men had discussed it, they went straight to find Meng Kun. Meng Kun was very happy that the two men were going to apologize to Xie Wei and others. After all, he needed people with basic skills to do the work.

"Eat? What to eat? Professor Meng, time is tight now! I asked Xie Wei to tell Wang Zheng to arrange for someone to go to the cafeteria to help bring the food over."

When Meng Kun said he wanted to treat himself, Xie Wei and others to a meal, Yu Guofeng, who was about to return to the Computer Science Department, immediately understood what the other party meant.

Socializing is unavoidable.

But Yu Guofeng didn't want to eat the meal in front of him.

It was obvious that those people knew that the results were within their grasp, and they bowed their heads for the credit.

Once this kind of person gets the chance, he will come up with endless means of revenge.

You have to be on guard against being tricked by the other party at all times.

He didn't care, but he couldn't let the other party make things difficult for Xie Wei in the future.

"Professor Yu, if there were more people with a basic understanding of switch technology, the progress would be faster..."

"Then let's slow down the process. We've waited for so many years, so we don't mind a few more days."

Yu Guofeng just wouldn't listen.

The attitude is very firm.

Seeing that Meng Kun was still trying to persuade him, he said with a straight face: "Professor Meng, I don't care what the backgrounds of those people are. This project has nothing to do with them. Even if Xie Wei agrees, I will not allow any unstable factors to appear in the project team!"

"They promised to obey the instructions and work hard..."

"You may not know the status of our research here. Almost all project teams eat and live in the office..."

"This……"

There is nothing wrong with Meng Kun himself, and there is nothing wrong with Huang Huiqin either.

But he couldn't guarantee that Luo Cheng and others could do this.

"You can't restrain them, and we have no right to restrain them. Scientific research requires self-awareness and initiative. Professor Meng, you should be clear about this. You know better than me whether they are suitable for research work."

Seeing Meng Kun's hesitation, and regardless of his attitude, Yu Guofeng just said this and turned away.

Are all professors at Harbin Institute of Technology so tough?
When Meng Kun came to his senses, Yu Guofeng had disappeared.

He originally planned to look for Xie Wei, but after thinking it over, he decided not to.

He didn't feel comfortable taking the initiative to find the two young teachers, so he once again chose to let Huang Huiqin pass the message.

"What? They don't agree?"

Looking at Huang Huiqin in front of him, Hou Yong was incredulous. "They don't even give me face?"

"What face do we have?"

Luo Cheng interrupted Hou Yong and looked at Huang Huiqin, "Do you know the details?"

Huang Huiqin told what he knew.

"So, it was only Yu Guofeng who opposed it? Xie Wei, the person in charge, didn't know about it?"

Huang Huiqin nodded.

Professor Meng never went to look for Xie Wei.

Although Xie Wei was the team leader, and even explained the plan to all professors and technicians participating in the project in front of everyone, in Meng Kun's eyes, Xie Wei was just someone with a deep background who needed these results.

Is it possible for such a young person to be in charge of such a major project?

Therefore, Professor Meng has always believed that Yu Guofeng is the one who makes the decision.

"Correct."

"Okay, Mr. Huang, thank you for your help."

Luo Cheng didn't ask any more questions, sent Huang Huiqin away, and then took out a cigarette.

Hou Yong knew that Luo Cheng was thinking about what to do, so he didn't bother him. "Let's go find Xie Wei."

After finishing a cigarette, Luo Cheng threw the butt on the ground and stomped it out with his foot. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Jiang's grandson is not a good person, but his vision is not bad. He is right. Professor Meng has been wasting all these years. What's the point of looking for Yu Guofeng?"

Hou Yong has been thinking.

His mood today was like a roller coaster. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became: if he went back like this, not only would his face be lost, but even his future development would be seriously affected.

Harbin Institute of Technology is not the University of Posts and Telecommunications, and they are not even from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, so we will not give them any face at all.

"In that case, let's just lower our stance a little and write a letter of guarantee."

When he heard Luo Cheng say that he was going to find Xie Wei, a light bulb went off in his head and he spoke.

Luo Cheng's eyes widened suddenly at these words, and he stared at Hou Yong in disbelief, "Are you serious? Writing a letter of guarantee for a student younger than us?"

It’s against Tiangang!

We are both teachers, and Xie Wei is just a student.

“He’s the project leader.”

The latter nodded affirmatively.

After being stunned for a while, Luo Cheng said bitterly, "Okay! I can't stay here. Not to mention my face, my future is gone."

······
"Is something wrong?"

When the two men came to his door, Xie Wei was lying on his desk writing a "Detailed Design Report of the Software System". He needed to first list the requirements of the program for controlling the switch in terms of data structure, algorithm analysis, module implementation, etc.

Xie Wei was extremely uncomfortable with software design and development without a microcomputer.

However, at least for now, he doesn't need to write code by hand in a notebook.

Xie Wei has mastered many advanced algorithms, but with the current hardware foundation, he is unable to use them fully.

"Algorithms define hardware." The current hardware functions and performance are simply unable to support overly advanced algorithms. Xie Wei can only reverse-engineer the algorithms he is familiar with, which makes him very annoyed.

It's like a person standing in front of a mountain of gold, but he doesn't have the tools to disassemble the gold and take it away for use.

When he saw that it was Luo Cheng and Hou Yong who came to see him, his attitude was very unfriendly.

"Team Leader Xie, our attitude was problematic today. We are here to apologize to you..."

Luo Cheng did not get angry because of Xie Wei's bad attitude. Instead, he was very sincere.

"Apologize? What are you apologizing for? I'm very busy. If you have nothing else to do, please don't bother me!"

Xie Wei looked at the two of them with displeasure on his face.

What do these two mean?
After I left at noon, how could I make Yu Guofeng and others drive them away regardless of their image?

What kind of apology is this for yourself?
"Team Leader Xie, we had a problem with our attitude today. We were indeed wrong. I hope you can give us a chance and let us stay... Don't worry, we will follow your instructions in all our future work!"

Even though Xie Wei didn't give him a good look, Luo Cheng was still unwilling to leave.

"Team Leader Xie, we have deeply realized our mistake. This is our letter of guarantee... Don't worry, if you or other project leaders feel that we are not suitable to stay in the project in the future, we will leave on our own initiative."

Hou Yong placed the letter of guarantee on Xie Wei's desk with both hands, then stepped back silently.

Guarantee?
Now Xie Wei has no idea what to do.

From the first time they met at the station to the welcoming banquet at noon, all Xie Wei saw was his eyes on top of his head and an expression that made people wonder.

Xie Wei kicked them out because he was afraid that they would be difficult to manage and would hinder the progress of the project.

Xie Wei had no idea why Yu Guofeng and others wanted to kick them out.

I never thought that these two teachers would actually write a letter of guarantee for myself!

"In that case, please leave the letter of guarantee first, and I will discuss it with the other responsible persons."

Xie Wei thought about it and didn't say anything definite.

These people with such backgrounds might get promoted one day.

It’s not that he was worried that he couldn’t handle these things. Less trouble is always better, and it also provides labor.

Seeing that Xie Wei did not express his opinion, Hou Yong showed displeasure on his face, and immediately wanted to question Xie Wei: I have already written a letter of guarantee to you regardless of my identity as a teacher, what else do you want?

Before he could speak, Luo Cheng pulled him aside and said to Xie Wei with a smile, "Team Leader Xie, you go ahead and do your work."

Luo Cheng dragged Hou Yong and hurriedly left Xie Wei's office.

He knew very well that nothing would change if he continued.

"You are stupid! Although he didn't agree, he has given in now. As long as he is not forced to leave tomorrow, there is a chance. This is Harbin Institute of Technology! It's not our school. They won't give us face at all."

After coming out, Luo Cheng reminded Hou Yong.

"Before, we felt that we had the final say, based on the fact that the technology we mastered was very important to the project. Now this foundation is gone..."

Luo Cheng sighed.

Fortunately, Xie Wei finally gave in.

"These two people..."

Looking at the two people's letters of guarantee, Xie Wei's original irritation disappeared at this moment.

Thinking about the purpose of the two people, I don't know whether it is for the project results or just for the sake of face. In any case, the other party's attitude is indeed good.

However, it still depends on the attitudes of Yu Guofeng, Lu Guangliang and others.

"They're looking for you?"

Yu Guofeng frowned and looked at Xie Wei, "If we keep them, the entire project will be difficult to manage."

Xie Wei handed the letter of guarantee in his hand to Yu Guofeng.

Yu Guofeng was also stunned.

"Did they really write it? This is completely contrary to their previous attitude."

He also didn't expect that the two people, who had been so arrogant before, would take the initiative to write a letter of guarantee and even hand it to Xie Wei.

Xie Wei asked Yu Guofeng what happened at noon.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with these two people. During lunch, the one named Wu wanted to gain control of the project. He kept belittling the school and praising himself, and he didn't even give face to Meng Kun. Do you think such a person can stay in the project?"

Yu Guofeng briefed Xie Wei on what happened at noon.

However, he spoke tactfully and did not tell Xie Wei that Wu Jiang wanted to seize the lead in the project because he thought Xie Wei was young.

"Then let Wu Jiang go. These two people will stay for the time being to share some of the work. They won't be counted as part of the project. What do you think?"

Xie Wei asked Yu Guofeng.

Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys is enough.

Wu Jiang thinks he has a good background, so if he jumps out, he definitely cannot be kept.

"It's up to you. You are the project leader and have the power to appoint and dismiss personnel. The reason why Professor Lu and I don't want them to stay is to avoid affecting the progress of the project..."

Yu Guofeng didn't care about Xie Wei's desire to keep the two of them.

"Okay then, I'll ask Professor Lu and the others for their opinions."

"Okay. Xie Wei, even if you want to keep them, don't be in a hurry. Leave them alone for a few days. Wang Zheng has already driven them away..."

Yu Guofeng reminded Xie Wei.

Xie Wei immediately understood that the reason why they directly asked several people to get out at the technical discussion meeting was all for their own sake.

"Meng Kun has already contacted me before...If they want results, there may be a lot of trouble later."

Worried that Xie Wei didn't know the inside story, Yu Guofeng told him about Meng Kun's visit.

Young people may not consider the consequences.

How could he know that Xie Wei had experienced this kind of thing many times and was not worried at all that Luo Cheng and Hou Yong would bow to him for the sake of technological achievements.

As for people, once they bow their heads the first time and break through the psychological barriers, it will be much easier to bow their heads again.

I still have this bit of confidence.

After asking Lu Guangliang about his attitude, he found out that he had the same attitude as Yu Guofeng.

Xie Wei asked Wang Zheng to tell the two that whether they could stay would require a period of observation and approval from Yu Guofeng, Lu Guangliang and others.

"What? We need to stay in a guesthouse at our own expense during the inspection?"

Looking at Wang Zheng, Hou Yong stood up suddenly with an angry face.

He couldn't afford to offend Xie Wei, but he didn't care about Xie Wei's lackey in front of him.

At least, in their eyes, Wang Zheng cannot decide whether they stay or go.

"Yes. You hoped to be given the opportunity to stay, and now the opportunity has been given. Whether you can stay or not depends on your own efforts."

Wang Zheng looked at the two people's reactions and said arrogantly.

Just like their initial reactions.

"Of course, you can also leave tomorrow. The tickets have been prepared for you."

Wang Zheng’s attitude is extremely unacceptable.

It hurt Hou Yong deeply.

"You are such a jerk! People don't want you to stay, but you shamelessly insist on staying! Who the hell wants to be humiliated like this!"

Wu Jiang, who was lying on the bed smoking and watching the fun, had a look of contempt on his face.

After hearing his words, Hou Yong's already ugly expression suddenly became even uglier.
