Chapter 85 Isn't this something to be proud of?
In recent years, the province has been working hard to tap into the resources of neighboring economically strong provinces, and has managed to create the second largest new energy vehicle industry chain in the country.
Now, a textile group with an annual output value of over six billion yuan, ranking among the top ten in the country in multiple fields such as fabrics, home textiles, underwear, and foreign trade OEM, has taken the initiative to relocate here. The province is naturally overjoyed and warmly welcomes it.
As an academician in the field of chemical fiber in the province, Vice President Dai had heard about this matter before. Looking at the "student Lu Daqi" in front of him, he actually felt a little admiration.
No wonder he's a handsome middle-aged internet celebrity with tens of millions of followers, he's really steady!
Isn't this something to be proud of?
If it were a young person, they would have been strutting around like crazy, eager for the whole country to know that they have a top female friend!
After thinking it over carefully, Vice Principal Dai decided not to rush into discussing changing advisors. He smiled and said, "Xiao Lu, Director Zhu has indeed worked very hard on the Yabin Intelligent Textile Center project, but he has never met with President Han and doesn't feel very confident."
I've heard that President Han is your number one fan and has donated quite a bit to charity. Could you introduce him to Director Zhu?
"Principal, Mr. Han can't be considered my fan. It's just normal business cooperation, and because of Mr. Mei's relationship, we've only met a few times privately!"
Lu Ming continued to be modest, but in reality, he didn't want to introduce Director Zhu.
Why should other doctoral supervisors benefit from the connections he built through his own hard work?
We're all adults; a little probing will tell us what's going on.
Vice Principal Dai already knew very well that Lu Ming neither wanted to change his advisor nor wanted to give up the benefits of the Yabin Group connection to Zhu Weiping.
This is awkward!
How will Zhu Weiping, the director of the Institute of Intelligent Science, face the school after this?
The problem is that the interests involved with President Han and Yabin Group are too great, and they could bring hundreds of millions of yuan in research funding to Jiangsu University of Science and Technology every year.
Lu Ming and Lin Xiaowei, this master and apprentice pair, would definitely not give it up so easily; they wouldn't even be allowed to get a share.
With this funding, the mentor and his apprentice are fully capable of making significant scientific research achievements in the field of lightweight industrial intelligence in China.
It's entirely possible that one of them could be nominated for academician status and the other for leadership of a group of 10,000 people.
Doesn't Zhu Weiping realize this?
Doesn't Lin Xiaowei know what's going on?
Vice Principal Dai is in a real dilemma now, because he was the one who initially assigned Lu Ming to Lin Xiaowei, hoping to build a stable research team.
Lu Ming, a major online celebrity, was responsible for securing projects for the school, while Lin Xiaowei, an AI expert in the field of lightweighting, was responsible for securing those projects.
He simply underestimated the power of major internet celebrities!
Is it that powerful?
What should I do?
As an academician, Vice President Dai could understand Zhu Weiping's feelings and situation. Even if Zhu Weiping tried his best and tried every possible method, Chairman Han Huilan was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Anyone would feel awkward and uncertain, as if they were doing all the work for someone else.
However, this multi-million yuan university-enterprise collaborative research contract was originally allocated directly to Jiangsu University of Science and Technology by Chairman Han out of consideration for Lu Ming.
Vice Principal Dai considered that Lin Xiaowei's team was short-staffed and lacked relevant experience in integrating industry and research, so he assigned the project to Zhu Weiping, the director of the Institute of Intelligent Science.
After all, it concerns the province's major plan for attracting investment, and the school cannot afford the responsibility for the project's failure.
This is so embarrassing!
Vice Principal Dai sat solemnly in the single sofa, his mind actually a jumble of thoughts. After thinking for a while, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he asked Lu Ming, "Little Lu, I know you really like playing basketball. Why didn't you participate in the school's freshman basketball tournament before?"
"I originally wanted to participate, but because I was directly assigned to Professor Lin's team for my internship, I was really too busy."
Lu Ming casually explained that he actually needed to conserve his energy so he could play ball with the two female chairpersons every night.
It takes at least two hours every day!
It's very hard work!
After the winter vacation ended, Yao Xuefang and Lin Manna, the two mothers, also formed a group and played a couple of games every now and then.
The three groups filled exactly the seven days of the week.
Middle-aged men and women, that's all the fun they have.
They seem to have a lot of activities, such as fitness, yoga, cycling, frisbee, tennis, camping, outings, hiking, hot springs... but the ultimate goal is always to play ball!
Vice Principal Dai, unaware of the hardships of being a big internet celebrity, enthusiastically suggested, "Xiao Lu, Director Zhu of the Institute of Intelligent Science really enjoys playing basketball. He often leads his students to compete with other teacher and student teams. Why don't you join in and play two games a week to stay healthy?"
Relationships between people are built up gradually.
Love grows over time!
"Is that so?" Lu Ming wasn't very happy. Although he liked playing ball, he preferred playing with the female chairpersons.
Are you not happy about it?
They absolutely do not want to give Zhu Weiping a share of the profits?
What should I do?
Vice Principal Dai racked his brains, and suddenly a brilliant idea struck him. He suggested again, "By the way, the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions and the Provincial Women's Federation are going to organize a Magpie Cup Basketball Friendship Tournament. All government agencies, public institutions and state-owned enterprises in the provincial capital will participate. Our school should also organize a participation. The requirements are that participants must be single and over thirty years old."
"Is this a matchmaking event organized by the Provincial Women's Federation?" Lu Ming guessed.
Vice Principal Dai picked up his teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and sighed with some concern, "In recent years, the social events organized by the Provincial Women's Federation for government agencies have been very ineffective. Most of the single men simply don't participate. Every time there's a social event, it's mostly women from various agencies who come, with very few men."
"The bride price in our province is getting higher and higher. Add to that the pressure of buying a house and other household items, which man would want to get married?"
Lu Ming definitely wants to speak up for his male compatriots. If the higher-ups don't address this fundamental pressure and only focus on the form of social events, what's the point?
"Let's not discuss the bride price. The prizes for this competition are quite generous. You and Director Zhu are both single and divorced, and you both enjoy playing ball, so why don't you represent our school together in the competition!"
Vice Principal Dai avoided social conflicts and directly assigned the school's competition tasks.
How many matches are played each week in this competition?
Lu Ming couldn't easily shirk his responsibility, especially since he himself really enjoyed playing basketball and had always had corresponding side quests, but he just couldn't manage his physical stamina.
If it weren't for his nine points in physique and eight points in tenacity, plus a 15% boost to all attributes, allowing him to wake up refreshed every morning, he wouldn't have been able to keep going with his current nightly playing pace.
He always plays against two or even three opponents at once, and he likes to back down and double-team, which takes a lot of energy.
"After all, it's a matchmaking event arranged by the Provincial Women's Federation. The pace of the Magpie Cup competition isn't very fast, with about two matches per week, mainly concentrated on Saturday and Sunday mornings and afternoons."
Vice Principal Dai will give a brief introduction.
This matter wasn't under his jurisdiction, so he wasn't really clear on the specifics. He had only heard about it once during a meeting last week from the heads of the administration and labor union departments.
"Okay, then I should be able to participate!"
Lu Ming felt this was an opportunity to complete the side quest (six) and get some resilience attribute rewards.
"Then it's settled. This weekend, you and Zhu Weiping will go to the basketball center to participate in the selection."
As a school leader, Vice Principal Dai really did his best to help Director Zhu Weiping find a solution.
If Zhu Weiping and "Classmate Lu Daqi" played more than ten games and still couldn't become friends, it could only mean that Zhu Weiping had problems with his interpersonal skills.
Why should someone who brought you this project entrust it to you long-term?
Besides, there's definitely something wrong with this. Chairwoman Han Huilan, this top-ranking lady, is really going too far.
Of course, leaders must know when to play dumb!
Vice Principal Dai would not pry into what secrets were hidden here.
Anyway, whoever can bring hundreds of millions of yuan in research funding to the university every year, and whoever can support a department, can become a tenured professor!
It's the same both domestically and internationally; this is how universities operate.
