Chapter 328 A Big Shot with a Scientific Research Background? (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!!)
Sure enough, they've been in the spotlight a lot lately.

He was summoned for a talk the next day.

And they went directly to Jingzhou City.

The principal specifically instructed him, "Although this is just an office director, he represents the attitude of the higher-ups. Just listen to what he says."

"it is good."

soon.

Zhou Yue walked into an office inside the building.

"This must be Teacher Zhou, right?" He was a sprightly old man, standing there like a javelin.

Zhou Yue also stepped forward and shook hands with him.

"Director Xue."

"sit down."

“Okay.” Zhou Yue sat down, and Principal Gao also sat down beside him.

"First of all, congratulations to Professor Zhou on being elected as an academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. This year, he was not elected as an academician of either of our academies. Actually, it's not that Professor Zhou lacks ability, but that he is too young. The higher-ups are protecting him."

The old man spoke very directly.

"After all, the country is a society based on personal connections. You need to get to know many things before you can establish yourself here. It's not like you can just promote Teacher Zhou and expect him to achieve something here."

"Both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering have invested a great deal of effort in their development."

"The investment is also continuous."

"What I'm trying to say is that if Professor Zhou needs start-up funding for a project, he can apply to us at any time to work on some large projects."

"The support you receive from abroad will not be less than what you receive from overseas."

"That's my first point."

"The second point is what we discussed before: to let Professor Zhou join the two institutes as the director of the office. We hope that Professor Zhou can start his job as soon as possible."

"This is very beneficial for Professor Zhou. We still need to build up our network of contacts at the Academy of Sciences."

Zhou Yue sat there and yawned softly.

The old man said he didn't actually have a serious cold.

Moreover, he didn't like the old man's tone.

Perhaps that's just how office workers are; they're used to giving orders and don't really respect scholars like us.

It was all done in a completely businesslike manner.

However, he didn't think there was anything to be done formally. He could hire him, no problem, but it could only be part-time.

You can come here to handle some business, but you can't sit here all the time.

In fact, he already had this idea when the project came down.

But he didn't say much.

They even knew that this position was dispensable. Although it was said to be doing some coordinating work between the two institutions, it was really just a job, and the secretary here could do it.

He had no interest in dealing with these social niceties.

But the old man in front of me didn't seem to have any problem with his attitude.

After all, he's here to handle things; he can't be all nice to you the whole time, can he?

As long as you can handle things well, that's enough.

However, this was the attitude of the higher-ups, so Zhou Yue didn't think much of it. As for becoming the office director, he would probably need to apply to his superiors. At that level, Zhou Yue knew that he would have no contact with them normally, so he would just keep his distance.

"One last point. As mentioned above, if Professor Zhou wants to pursue an academic career, he can certainly start from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Of course, that was just a suggestion."

"But if you're with the Academy of Sciences, they can make sure you have a smooth journey."

That's all I have to say.

……

After they came out, Principal Gao glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong? You don't seem very interested?"

"Nothing much, I just feel like the higher-ups are a bit hostile towards me," Zhou Yue said, stroking his chin. "Do they think I might run away at any moment?"

"Pretty much," Principal Gao said with a smile. "Not to mention them, even I think you might run away at any time."

"It's really nothing. If you don't go down the path of the Academy of Sciences, you'll never run into that high-ranking official."

"Let me tell you something in secret: several of his prized students have run away and gone abroad."

"Oh? This senior executive has a technical background?"

"Yes, he was a professor and even served as the president of Peking University."

“Then I know who it is.” Zhou Yue said with a smile. “But his own disciples have all gone abroad to make contributions, no wonder he’s so hostile towards me.”

That person's status was even higher than Lu Cheng's.

Now, the university president can be considered the direct superior of the university president within the education system.

Then there's no problem.

It's fine if there's hostility, as long as there's no deliberate suppression.

In addition, his charm points weren't earned for nothing.

No matter who it is, their hostility towards him couldn't be too deep.

It doesn't mean they're openly suppressing us.

Besides, he's not afraid of any suppression.

"Yes, but this hostility is unfounded. Don't worry, I'll definitely get all the orders from above. I'll just send them back."

Principal Gao stood to the side, smiling.

"Is it true that the funding they said for my project wouldn't be less than what they would give me overseas?"

"Really, if Professor Zhou has any big projects, we will definitely give our full support without hesitation. Don't be fooled by the fact that the higher-ups seem hostile towards you. In reality, if Professor Zhou is going to do something big, no one will stand in his way."

"That's fine."

Zhou Yue nodded slightly.

He didn't need to concern himself with anything else.

But recently, he's been too high-profile, which has made some people in higher positions unhappy.

Especially after obtaining the title of foreign academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, it will definitely displease some people, especially those high-ranking and powerful old guys, some of whom may have more traditional ideas.
Zhou Yue glanced at Principal Gao.

Perhaps we should wait for someone like Principal Gao or Uncle Lu, who are young, energetic, and have a high acceptance rate, to be promoted sooner.

If everyone above is like that, then I can rise to the top in life.

Of course, no matter how good your academic work is, there may be a peak.

But he's only twenty-five, he still has a lot to achieve.

There's no need to think about it so much.

"How is it? Are you a little disappointed that you didn't get elected as an academician?" President Gao asked tentatively.

"It would be a lie to say I wasn't disappointed. After all, I looked at all the submitted materials, and there probably wasn't anyone more suitable than me. But I also know that this is understandable."

"And I had already prepared myself mentally for this."

Originally, his failure to be elected as an academician and his invitation to the Imperial Academy of Sciences to become an academician were two different things, but they happened to occur within a very short period of time.

It's hard not to feel a bit unbalanced.

It seems that someone was indeed unintentionally suppressing him.

It's not so much a suppression as it is a matter of doing things according to their own ideas.

They felt he was too young and lacked connections, so even if he became an academician, he wouldn't do a good job.
