After the layoffs, I became a tech godfather

Chapter 260 Are you following me?
"Oh my God!"

"Unbelievable, I simply can't believe it!"

"Even a normal person wouldn't be this bad, right?"

Zhang Lin exclaimed repeatedly in surprise. In all his years in the industry, he hadn't been this flustered in a long time.

Even a normal person probably doesn't have such a good physical condition. Nowadays, so-called normal people don't sleep at night and don't get up in the morning. Some are completely immobile and can't even walk a thousand steps a day. They eat and drink high-oil, high-salt, and high-sugar foods and drinks, and they are all in a sub-healthy state.

Even Zhang Lin himself, as a doctor, is like this.

Does he not know what constitutes a healthy lifestyle, what constitutes healthy food, and what constitutes a healthy sleep pattern? However, some things cannot be solved simply by knowing them.

I still have to stay up late, I still have to work overtime every day, and I still can't give up smoking a single cigarette.

Zhang Lin was lost in memories—

Since, I can't quite remember which year, but it must have been at least twenty years, the first time he stepped into this hospital, he never left.

My original wish was for a world free from illness and suffering, but now it seems there's not much I can do; all I can do is have a clear conscience.

Secondly, it's about providing a better life for my family. From this perspective, it's actually not bad. No matter how hard it is, at least I've settled down in this city, have a wife and children, and my parents are healthy.

However, at this moment, he saw another path.

Or rather, he has already chosen this path—boarding the ship of Baiju Technology, where he can do more than he can do himself, but Baiju Technology can help him do it.

"Uncle Zhang, is there something wrong with me?" Wang Rui's eyes widened and gleamed.

"No, it's perfect, it couldn't be better. Just keep Xiao Sha monitoring you, and you just need to keep listening to Xiao Sha's advice, and there won't be any problems."

The little girl's voice was light and lovely, and Zhang Lin realized that he had been in a daze for a long time, so he hurriedly said something.

“Sometimes it’s about curing, often it’s about helping, and always it’s about comforting.” Wang Rui’s mind raced. “I know what Uncle Zhang is thinking. Most diseases in the world are incurable. Sometimes there’s just too much helplessness, right?”
"But now that we have Uncle Hao Cheng, everything will change. In the future, the epitaph of a famous doctor will read: 'Always able to cure, always able to help, no need to comfort.' That's how times have quietly changed."

The little girl's eyes sparkled as she said with great gratitude, "Thank you for being born in such a wonderful era!"

"Haha!" Looking at Wang Rui's earnest and devout face, Zhang Lin laughed heartily: "Little girl, I wish you success!"

"Thank you!"

……

It's already May, and the early admissions process for the Linzhou University Frontier Science and Technology Exploration Institute is fully prepared.

Education-related departments at all levels have also made relevant statements: everything is left to Linzhou University and Baiju Technology to make decisions, and any work that requires approval will be approved immediately upon request; they will simply act as stamping machines.

"I don't want any special privileges, but if there's even one other organization that deserves them, I think Baiju Technology should be the one to have them." That's what Hao Cheng told Cheng Jianye.
"To put it bluntly, this stamp isn't something we need; it's something they need! All students at the research institute who pass Xiao Sha's assessment will receive three certificates: an academic degree, a diploma, and Xiao Sha's certification. Those who don't pass Xiao Sha's assessment but meet the Ministry of Education's standards will receive two certificates: a graduation certificate and a degree certificate. The relevant details have been released, and registration is now open. The initial screening will be conducted online through Xiao Sha."

"Okay, I understand." Cheng Jianye nodded solemnly. He understood that what Hao Cheng said was true; the so-called academic qualifications and degrees were not needed by the research institute, but by educational institutions. Otherwise, it would truly be a joke.

Even if things are like this now, it's hard to say how things will develop in the future. In any case, the third certificate, which is Xiao Sha's level certification, is more valuable for students of the research institute.

……

It's unclear who leaked the information, but a portion of Hao Cheng and Cheng Jianye's conversation quickly spread online, especially the line, "I don't want any special privileges, but if there's even one organization that deserves special privileges, I think Baiju Technology should be there without hesitation." This line immediately ignited the passion of many.

"Exactly! All of you, with your privileges and special admissions, what's the value of your qualifications compared to Xiao Sha's? You can't even detect fake degrees and papers. I don't know if you can't find them or if you didn't even bother to check? If all else fails, just hand it all over to Xiao Sha. At least Xiao Sha would never make such a basic 'mistake'!"

"You're too young, sir. It's already been said to be a channel for a select few, a loophole to exploit. If the checks are stricter, how will you still be able to exploit it? You still want Xiao Sha to do the verification? Aren't you trying to kill him?"

"Xiao Sha's privileges are actually the privileges of all of us, and a good remedy for many problems in the education field today. It can free us from the restrictive exam-oriented education while ensuring fairness and justice."

"Fairness and justice? I don't deny that it may be fair now, but how long can fairness and justice be maintained without procedural justice and institutional oversight? And who can guarantee that there won't be problems a hundred or a hundred years from now?"

"You're going to make me laugh to death! Hundreds of years? In ancient times, a dynasty would be in its middle stage by 180 years, and that would be a prosperous dynasty. Short-lived dynasties would have changed hands several times by then. As long as we can solve the current problems, there are no problems. Do you want a system that lasts for tens of millions of years?"
"Fun fact: The Qin Dynasty has only lasted for about a thousand years. In Qin Shi Huang's plan, it should be around the fiftieth generation of the Qin Dynasty by now, right? However, in reality, the Qin Dynasty fell three years after his death."

"Why bother explaining this to him? Go look through his past records, or have Xiao Sha trace them back and see what he was doing a few days ago. He was washing so enthusiastically. Goodness, the current privileges are harmless, and a system that can't last a hundred years is just rubbish, right?"

Fairness, fairness, and more fairness—most people are extremely sensitive to this, especially given the recent series of events that have brought related topics to the forefront.

Hao Cheng's statement, "If it's necessary to have special privileges, we will not shirk our responsibilities," touched a nerve with many people.

The various bonus points, direct admissions, special channels and mechanisms that exist today all claim to be "comprehensive selection of high-level, multi-skilled talents," but the certification standards are all varied, some very fair, while others are "very frivolous."

But Hao Cheng's single sentence caused the hashtag #Leave the selection to Xiao Sha# to quickly become a trending topic and remain so for a long time.

Hao Cheng even publicly responded to this: "Thank you for your kind words, but Xiao Sha deserves them. No matter what your standards are, Xiao Sha can execute them perfectly without any selfish motives."

Hao Cheng, who had always been a man of low profile, suddenly became sharp-tongued and no longer bothered to hide it. He was practically pointing his finger at Hao Cheng and saying, "You're up to something, you're up to no good."

This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit.

Immediately after Hao Cheng's response, Linzhou University was the first to state: "After the rules and standards for all matters related to independent enrollment, postgraduate admission, and awards and commendations at Linzhou University are finalized, their implementation will be entirely handed over to Xiao Sha."

The measures taken are the same as those in Linxi New District. It's not something Xiao Sha can decide on his own. The rules are still set by the school, and Xiao Sha is just carrying them out.

The meaning is quite clear: you set the rules, Xiao Sha will just execute them. It won't hinder your ideas from being implemented, and may even make them better implemented. Will you follow or not?
