In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 338 We still need to dig for people, just in a way that everyone can accept.
"Have you thought this through? If you sign this agreement and don't honor it, you can forget about ever getting ahead in your life. If you don't sign it, given your current situation, you still have a bright future."

Xie Wei, holding the newly drafted agreement, reminded Wang Yuting.

Wang Yuting gave him a dirty look and said, "Give it to me!"

He snatched the agreement from Xie Wei, didn't even glance at it, and quickly signed his name at the end. Then he pressed his thumb into the inkpad next to him and placed it directly on his newly signed name.

"I'm going to spend my whole life with schools!"

Wang Yuting gritted her teeth and looked at Xie Wei, her eyes full of provocation.

"A very wise decision."

Xie Wei gave a thumbs up.

Given that Wang Yuting has been at the university since her undergraduate years, through graduate studies, and further studies at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, becoming a lecturer upon her return would certainly not be a problem. Perhaps a better path for her would be to pursue technical management.

Would a school treat the talents it has nurtured from scratch unfairly?
"I don't know if it's wise or not, but I'm going to follow Xie Rou for the rest of my life. Wherever she goes, I'll go... even if it means working as a cleaner at her workplace!"

"It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist!"

Xie Wei suddenly realized that Wang Yuting was a truly intelligent person. If she really stayed with Xie Rou for the rest of her life, even if her abilities and skills were not that great, she would still have a very good future.

Using Xie Rou?

Xie Wei wouldn't think that way. If someone can handle all of Xie Rou's daily life and take good care of her, it would be a win-win situation if Xie Rou shared some of her achievements with her.

No one loses out.

"Your flight is tonight, and you should arrive around tomorrow morning. Pack your things, and Principal Li will pick you up at the airport and take you to the Institute of Mathematical Sciences with me."

Xie Rou and Wang Yuting were not surprised to be traveling on the Y-11.

Zhang Mingqiu and Liu Debao personally saw Fang Pengju off.

Wang Yuting knew very well that the two school leaders were there to see Xie Rou off, and having long been used to it, she felt no ripples in her heart.

As Xie Wei observed, she was a smart woman. She knew perfectly well why Fang Pengju had made her his graduate student after rejecting her. Zhao Ping couldn't stand Xie Rou's abnormal calculation ability and workload, so she eventually left.

She persevered.

Even more remarkably, he was able to switch from mechanics to the long-range rocket project, and now he's working at the Institute of Computing Technology...

Such a resume would be outstanding in any organization.

But she gave up on leaving.

He chose to sign the agreement given by Xie Wei and return to Harbin Institute of Technology after completing his studies.

"Comrade Yuting, we hope you will return home soon after completing your studies!"

Zhang Mingqiu and Liu Debao did not instruct Wang Yuting to take good care of Xie Rou like mothers-in-law would, and they did not simply treat her as Xie Rou's nanny.

Comrade!

For a moment, Wang Yuting was so moved that she almost cried.

This is the best reward she has received for persevering through Xie Rou's terrifying academic pressure over the past few years.

"Yuting, the difficulty level at the Institute of Mathematics is several levels higher than ours. If you can keep up, then study. If not, take care of yourself. Don't just focus on studying. If you find a suitable young talent, you can start dating him... Also, take good care of Xie Rou..."

Fang Pengju knew Wang Yuting's level.

Reaching the level of a typical undergraduate lecturer at a university is already the ceiling.

Institute of Mathematics...

"Study if you can, otherwise eat more. You've already paid for your living expenses, right?"

Upon hearing Fang Pengju's words, Xie Wei's expression turned strange, just like those unreliable parents he had seen on the internet giving instructions when sending their children to elementary school.

In particular, Fang Pengju instructed Wang Yuting not to focus solely on her studies, but to remember to find a promising young man to date.

What do you mean?
Could it be that the old man is thinking the same thing as me?

The old man is starting to become cunning.

"Alright, it's getting late, we need to board the plane. This crappy plane is too slow!"

With more time spent outdoors, Xie Wei is starting to complain that the Y-11's maximum speed of over 200 kilometers per hour is still too slow.

A flight to the capital takes more than ten hours.

The Y-11 took off quickly, climbed into the night sky, and finally disappeared into the clouds.

"Let's go."

The group watched the plane disappear, their gaze lingering for a long time.

Fang Pengju was the first to come to his senses.

"I wonder how much money Xie Wei will bring back this time."

Zhang Mingqiu withdrew his gaze and spoke softly.

"Didn't he take Xie Rou and Wang Yuting to the Institute of Mathematical Sciences?"

Fang Pengju, unaware that Xie Wei had other tasks, asked in surprise.

"That was just a side effect. Xie Wei proposed that the school establish a mathematics research institute, and the reason for sending Xie Rou there this time was to ask the institute for staff. He also said he needed to secure some funding..."

The two did not keep Fang Pengju a secret.

The school's funding is currently being restructured, which will affect Fang Pengju's long-range rocket project in terms of funding.

"The university really should establish a mathematics research institute. Almost all key projects require a lot of mathematical calculations, especially the development of mathematical models... With Xie Rou gone, the research and development time for the 300-meter long-range rocket will at least double..."

Fang Pengju sighed.

Mathematics is the foundation of all science and engineering disciplines.

The more technological achievements we make and the more challenges we take on in more advanced technological fields, the more we realize the importance of mathematics.

"Stop complaining here. Didn't we already promise you that once Galaxy-1 is debugged, we'll give you priority in allocating time for the long-range rocket project?"

Liu Debao said irritably.

Galaxy One is still in the debugging stage, but various project teams have already begun vying for the right to use the supercomputer.

The reason Xie Wei ran away again after just returning to school is probably because he didn't want to face this problem.

Many people were lured in by Xie Wei. If one person agrees and another doesn't, what kind of situation would that be?

"I'm not saying this for the time of Galaxy One! I'm just lamenting how the project's progress has been affected since Xie Rou left... The price of the 150mm long-range rocket is still a bit too cheap..."

Fang Pengju spoke up.

"..."

The two glanced at him, then turned around and walked toward Hafei Hongguang standing to the side.

Currently, apart from individual weapons, the only military technology available to the school is Fang Pengju's long-range artillery, which has a very large order and has become almost the only source of funding for the school at this stage.

If the time allotted for supercomputers isn't prioritized for long-range rocket projects, what will other teams think?
The project that can bring in more funding will receive more resources, directly introducing a competition mechanism.

"Squad Leader Xie, I'm very curious, what kind of person are you?"

On the plane, Xie Wei moved his seat several times, and each time Wang Yuting leaned on the back of the seat in front of him and stared at him.

Finally, Xie Wei gave up and stopped moving, letting Wang Yuting stare at him and look him up and down.

Inside the cabin, under the dim light, Xie Wei closed his eyes to rest, completely ignoring Wang Yuting.

Wang Yuting couldn't help but speak up.

Xie Wei ignored her.

Curiosity is a bad thing. A woman's curiosity about a man often marks the beginning of a disastrous relationship.

“You’re about the same age as us, but you’re more composed than the principal and the others. You seem to know everything.”

Xie Wei remained silent.

Wang Yuting's words startled Xie Wei. Was it really that obvious?
Seeing that Xie Wei ignored her, Wang Yuting snorted and eventually lost interest, so she simply closed her eyes to rest.

"Sister Yuting, I've already told you, my brother is a heartless machine. When he gets ruthless, he can be completely inhuman to me..."

Xie Rou, who had been watching from the side, suddenly grinned.

He even felt a sense of excitement, as if he were getting revenge on Xie Wei for not letting him go abroad.

Hearing Xie Rou speak of him like that, Xie Wei, who had been resting with his eyes closed, twitched at the corner of his mouth. He was clearly angered by Xie Rou's actions in front of Wang Yuting and didn't bother arguing with them.

Women, no matter how old, cannot be reasoned with.

Before he knew it, Xie Wei had fallen asleep in the newly replaced soft seat on the plane.

"Could you please have the school set up an office here? And assign two or three people to do these errands? I'm a leader, after all. Do you think it's appropriate for me to be treated like a errand boy every time?"

Xie Wei carried a travel bag containing Xie Rou's few belongings and a suitcase with winter clothes. As soon as he got off the plane, Li Rui began to complain.

Wang Yuting, who was following behind Xie Wei, was quite surprised.

Principal Li!
The key point is Principal Li's attitude towards Xie Wei.

"If it weren't for all the trouble you caused back then, would I be running around all day? Didn't you say we needed to apply for personnel? I brought the application..."

Xie Wei said irritably, preparing to put down his luggage and take out his talent transfer application.

"Hurry up and get on the bus!"

Li Rui glared at Xie Wei, annoyed.

He doesn't want to see it.

This kid is deliberately expressing his dissatisfaction.

They had only asked the school to stop poaching people for a certain period of time when they started submitting reports.

Li Rui knew that once he accepted the offer, he might receive one every day.

Their relationship made Wang Yuting suddenly realize that Xie Wei's influence at school might be far greater than she had imagined, even though she had originally thought of Xie Wei's status as very high.

At this moment, he became even more determined to stay by Xie Rou's side.

It's not that she doesn't want to cling to Xie Wei's powerful backer; becoming Xie Wei's wife would definitely be the best outcome.

Unfortunately, Xie Wei had no feelings for anyone.

"Go directly to the Institute of Mathematical Sciences?"

Li Rui personally helped Xie Wei and the others put their suitcases in the car, letting Xie Rou and Wang Yuting ride in the jeep behind them, while Xie Wei rode in the other car with him.

"Go ahead. The Institute of Mathematical Sciences only needs Xie Rou..."

"Then why did you let Wang Yuting come along too?"

Li Rui looked at him irritably, "I went to the Institute of Mathematics before, and Professor Hua was very dissatisfied, and Director Wang of the Institute of Mathematics also expressed his dissatisfaction. They didn't even give Long Yaohua face."

"It is very urgent for the university to establish a mathematical research institute, as various projects require mathematical models for theoretical verification and problem-solving."

Xie Wei did not answer directly, "Wang Yuting's organizational affiliation is still with the school. She signed a contract with the school and is required to return to work after completing her advanced studies at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Of course, if she gets into a relationship or gets married during this period, the school also has to arrange jobs for her partner, right?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Rui's eyes widened suddenly.

The higher-ups forbade schools from poaching students, so Xie Wei turned around and used his charms instead?
“We don’t expect Professor Hua or Director Wang to mentor Xie Rou. We just want the Institute of Mathematics to help mentor Wang Yuting and improve her math skills. This can be considered the beginning of our cooperation with the Institute of Mathematics. If possible, we will send a group of students with good math foundations and young teachers to the Institute of Mathematics for training every year…”

"Are they all girls?"

Li Rui's lips twitched as he asked Xie Wei.

"How could that be! There are already few female students majoring in science and engineering, and female students majoring in mathematics, physics and chemistry are even rarer."

Hearing this, Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Commissioned training?"

Wang Yuan, the director of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences and a student of Hua Da Lao, looked at Xie Wei with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean?"

"Cooperation! Isn't the Institute of Mathematics lacking research funding? Our university's foundation in mathematics isn't very strong, and many projects have high mathematical requirements. We're not allowed to second personnel, but we can't abandon our work... Before coming here, Secretary Liu Debao and President Zhang entrusted me to discuss this cooperation with the Institute of Mathematics... The university commissioned the Institute to develop a mathematical model, and the university will pay for it; in addition, the university will pay the Institute 100 million yuan annually for training fees, and provide 20 advanced microcomputers specifically for mathematical calculations..."

"One million? Every year? And a batch of computers?"

Director Wang immediately became alert.

Now all research institutions across the country are wary of Harbin Institute of Technology.

The other party couldn't possibly offer such generous terms without a purpose.

What kind of commissioned training program is this!
What kind of cooperation is this!
It's possible they're all trying to poach young key personnel from the Institute of Data Science.

"Correct."

Xie Wei looked at the wariness on Director Wang's face and sighed inwardly.

Is such precaution necessary?

"You should just say what your purpose is. We wouldn't dare accept such a windfall."

Director Wang looked at Xie Wei with a bitter face, "Let's make this clear first, otherwise there's no possibility of cooperation, or it will end up making things unpleasant for both sides."

“For personnel training, every year we select a group of young key personnel to study at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences… If the Institute of Mathematical Sciences does not agree, we can only seek cooperation with the Department of Mathematics at Fudan University.”

Xie Wei said helplessly.

He is now deeply aware of the negative impact of poaching talent.

Although they are still planning to poach people from the data research institute, their cooperation is genuine.

Currently, among all the mathematics programs in the country, only the Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Fudan University have the strongest programs.

The Department of Mathematics at Zhejiang University boasts luminaries such as Hua Luogeng and Chen Jingrun; while the Department of Mathematics at Fudan University has luminaries such as Su Buqing and Chen Jiangong. Before the nationwide reorganization of universities and departments in 52, the strongest mathematics department in the country was at Zhejiang University, thanks to the establishment of the globally renowned "Chen-Su School" by Chen Jiangong and Su Buqing, which cultivated a large number of mathematicians.

It was 50 years later that Hua Luogeng returned to China with his wife and children. On his way back, he wrote "An Open Letter to All Chinese Students Studying in the United States". This letter was broadcast by the Central People's Broadcasting Station on March 10 of the same year, which made the world aware of the line: "Although Liangyuan is beautiful, it is not a place to stay for long. Let's go back."

This sparked a wave of return visits from top overseas Chinese scholars.

Even Xie Wei, who was concerned about this, did not dare to poach too many key personnel from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

But Wang Yuan didn't know that.

Director Wang almost blurted out that Xie Wei should approach the Department of Mathematics at Fudan University to discuss cooperation, but considering the 20 computers and the annual funding of 100 million yuan, he ultimately held back.

"Is this really not an opportunity to poach our people?"

"We promise that we will no longer second people like before! We will submit requests to the Institute of Data Science for relevant tasks, and the Institute can choose whether or not to cooperate..."

We still need to dig for people.

It's just that we'll dig less, isn't it?

And they won't dig so directly.

Li Rui knew Xie Wei's various tricks all too well, and at this moment he could only silently turn his head to the side, suppressing the urge to tell Director Wang the truth.

Li Rui also bears some responsibility for Xie Wei's current state.
