My buildings have attributes

This name sounds familiar, doesn't it? It's the Jixia Academy in the ancient state of Qi.

The Jixia Academy not only had a great reputation, but also a very strong faculty.

At the end of last year, the Mohist organization was in good condition. At that time, the South Ji Ice Sheet was still melting, so the government planned to split up the universities in the coastal areas, and those majors that matched those of the Jixia Academy would be directly merged here.

In other words, all the professors and teachers from all the universities in the disaster-stricken areas, including those majoring in mathematics and physics, materials science, mechanical engineering and automation, etc., were all merged into the Jixia Academy.

One university may not seem like much, but the merger of dozens of universities leads to a qualitative change through the accumulation of quantitative changes.

This directly transformed Jixia Academy into one of the top engineering schools in the country, and the combined ranking of these five majors was still very high.

Although it's not possible to reach the top yet, it's still quite easy to achieve results in the Mo Family Mechanical City.

In two years, while I can't say that all five majors will be number one in the world, the School of Mechanical Engineering will almost certainly be number one globally.

Chen Ling flew to the Mo Family's Mechanical City, which is now officially called Mo City.

"President Chen, the two vice principals and the dean of the branch of Jixia Academy heard that you were coming this morning, so they specially booked a hotel for you to have lunch."

As soon as Chen Ling got off the plane, the general manager of Mocheng Airport rushed to greet him and whispered his report to him.

"How did they know? I didn't tell them."

Chen Ling was very curious about how the airport's general manager had gotten in touch with the vice dean of the Jixia Academy and asked him to bring a message over.

“Um… Mr. Chen, Vice Principal Ruan Yitian is my father.”

Airport General Manager Ruan Qitian explained somewhat embarrassedly.

"Well, I see."

Chen Ling nodded after listening, without saying anything.

Can you just send anyone over for a meal?

Two vice-principals and several deans of departments invited me to dinner together. What's the purpose of this? Are they trying to intimidate me?

Chen Ling unconsciously curled his lips into a disdainful smile.

Upon leaving the airport, Chen Ling's personal assistant, Ning Mu, was already waiting for him at the VIP exit with a car.

Driving in Mexico City means you're awesome.

There are no more than 30 vehicles in the entire city of Mo, including 15 with official license plates, 5 from the hospital, 6 from the Jun team, and 4 from Chenling.

Apart from these vehicles, there were no other vehicles in the entire city of Mexico.

In other words, there are only 4 private cars in the entire city of Mexico, and all of them belong to Chen Ling.

"Song Ling, arrange for someone to investigate the backgrounds of the two vice principals and several branch deans of Jixia Academy, and see if they have any dirty secrets."

After getting into the car, Chen Ling said coldly.

"Yes, sir, I have passed on the task."

After hearing this, Song Ling immediately took out her phone and relayed Chen Ling's order.

Last year, Chen Ling was busy rushing home for the Chinese New Year, and Guo Jia helped with all the follow-up matters in Mo Cheng.

It's possible that the higher-ups meant well and wanted to help Chen Ling resolve his troubles.

However, once they got down there, some people had ulterior motives and started shoving all sorts of rotten fish and shrimp into Mexico City.

Chen Ling didn't have time before, but now he does.

Therefore, he planned to get rid of all these parasites before Mo City was fully open and operational.

The Jixia Academy was the first step in this cleanup. If a school can't even guarantee its purity, how can it conduct scientific research?

The car moved slowly along the narrow road. Chen Ling looked at the shops on both sides of the road. All of these shops belonged to him. Some had already been rented out, but some had not yet been rented out.

But there's no rush. Once the students start school, people who see the business opportunity will naturally come to rent shops.

In this world, besides children, women, and the elderly, students' money is the easiest to earn.

Soon, Chen Ling arrived at Mo Cheng's home, a luxurious manor located on a mountaintop.

From a distance, the manor was still emitting white smoke.

That's not a fire, it's just steam from the hot spring.

"Tell me when you find out the information, I'll go soak in the hot springs first."

After arriving at the villa, Chen Ling finished speaking to Song Ling and then went to change his clothes and soak in the hot spring.

Hot springs are wonderful; they can improve blood circulation, relieve fatigue, and even beautify the skin and treat skin diseases.

Chenling's hot spring is not the fake kind where you boil water; it's a genuine hot spring source that he drew from underground using the power of the earth, making it much more effective than ordinary hot springs.

"Oh...that feels so good..."

Chen Ling lay in the hot spring water, squinting his eyes and humming softly.

Less than half an hour later, Song Ling came in, carrying a stack of documents.

"Boss, their information has been obtained."

"Just read it briefly, so I know who they are," Chen Ling said, squinting.

"Yes, boss."

Song Ling picked up the documents and began to read them aloud. She read them in great detail, and they were not as simple as Chen Ling had described.

However, she didn't read everything; she only read information that Chen Ling was interested in.

She didn't mention anything about her ethnicity, place of origin, or current appearance.

It took Song Ling about ten minutes to read out the information of several people.

At this moment, Chen Ling sneered. Of these seven people, apart from the dean of the School of Mathematics and Physics and the dean of the School of Information Engineering, none of the other five were good people.

It's hard to say they're all bad, but embezzling public funds is a minor issue compared to the fact that they prey on their own neighbors.

If these people were merely embezzling public funds to support their mistresses, Chen Ling could tolerate them.

However, Chen Ling would not tolerate them making moves against the people close to him.

Regardless of whether it's voluntary or not, this is primarily a matter of professional ethics.

"Send the information to the security authorities, and then send them to prison," Chen Ling said directly.

Chapter 112 Credit Rules

The next day, when Chen Ling arrived at Jixia Academy, only Song Ling and two branch deans greeted him at the gate.

Because the two vice presidents and three branch presidents were arrested by security agencies last night.

"President Chen, all the faculty and staff are already waiting for you in the auditorium." Song Ling arrived at the school ahead of time and had everything arranged.

“Yes, call me Principal at school,” Chen Ling nodded and said.

When Principal Chen Ling arrived at the auditorium, more than 15,000 faculty and staff members were already seated and waiting for him.

It's just that the main hall of the Jixia Academy is quite large; otherwise, there really wouldn't be enough room for so many people.

"Alright, enough with the small talk, let's get straight to the point." Chen Ling said without any ceremony after taking his seat.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Chen Ling, and I am the principal of Jixia Academy. The entire school belongs to my private property, so you can also think of it as a private university."

I don't know what kind of ideological work Guo Jia did for you before you came here, nor do I know your purpose in choosing to come to Jixia Academy, but in any case, I welcome you.

However, there are some things I want to make clear to you here first. I don't care what your previous universities were like or what unspoken rules they had.

However, once you arrive at Jixia Academy, you must act according to my rules. If you do not follow the rules, then the two vice principals and three deans who were arrested last night and will soon be in prison are examples of what not to do.

You can't force a relationship. If you feel this place isn't right for you and you can't stay here, then submit a report before tonight, and I will approve your departure.

Once today is over, if you choose to stay, then you must abide by the rules. I don't want Jixia Academy to become like other universities, where things get messy and chaotic.

Chen Ling spoke very directly, without giving his subordinates any face, so many professors looked very unhappy.

After a long pause, Chen Ling spoke again: "The rules are all written on your employment contracts. If you don't understand them, you can go back and read them later. As for other questions, if you have any questions, you can ask them now."

"Principal Chen, I'd like to ask, is the application for funding also subject to school approval? Can we conduct a key research project on boiler frames and apply for boiler frame research funds?" A young man asked immediately.

"This might not have been explained clearly when the pot stand was arranged for you to come, so I'll explain it to you again now."

At Jixia Academy, applying for research funding is no problem, and one can also participate in key research projects and apply for research funds. In this respect, Jixia Academy is no different from any other university.

However, there is one difference between Jixia Academy and other universities: anyone can apply for research funding. But when applying, I don't need your proposal to be very impressive. I just need you to write a statistic on your application: how confident you are in completing the project.

Do not apply for projects with a success rate below 60%, and approve projects with a success rate above 60% directly.

However, if the project fails, the difficulty of applying for research funding next time will increase by 20%, meaning you must be 80% certain to apply.

If it's not finished yet, the next time it will be 100%.

If you don't even complete 100%, you can leave.

"At the Jixia Academy, seniority doesn't matter; only ability matters. Those with ability rise, and those without fall. It's that simple," Chen Ling said with a smile.

In fact, implementing this method is not as simple as Chen Ling described; there are many rules and regulations involved.

You can't say, "I'm applying for a controlled nuclear fusion project, and if you give me 10 billion, I'm 90% sure I can succeed."

That's pure nonsense; only a moron like Chen Ling would approve it.

Moreover, the project application review requires Cangming's special approval, and Chen Ling only needs to sign it in the end.

Next, Chen Ling answered several more questions, all of which were of concern to many people, including issues such as professional title evaluation, salary and benefits.

In these respects, Chen Ling was quite generous. He wasn't short of money, so there was no need for him to be stingy in this regard.

After the morning meeting, Chen Ling left the Jixia Academy.

However, no sooner had he left than he received a resignation email in his inbox.

Chen Ling directly instructed Cangming to approve all these resignation applications.

Chen Ling's goal was to drive these people away.

The Jixia Academy's attributes are such that it could easily allow those who stay to become top scientists, so it's best to get rid of these bad apples now.

Otherwise, once they taste the benefits, they won't leave.

Even if they follow the rules, their poor character will still cause trouble.
