Chapter 397 Don't mess around

Lin Xiangnan, standing in the dean's office, had a dazed look in his eyes.

The dean of the college and the leader of the research institute spoke in exactly the same way, and Lin Xiangnan unconsciously wanted to be distracted.

Some things, which in principle are not allowed, are allowed.

But Lin Xiangnan was not prepared to irritate the dean.

After the dean finished explaining the principles, Lin Xiangnan slowly said, "I am a student now, and I work part-time outside after class. It's called work-study. But don't worry, when I graduate, I will stop and will no longer be a substitute teacher."

The training school just opened this year and needed to advertise to increase its fame, so Lin Xiangnan took part in it personally. After two years, the training school had a stable source of students, and Lin Xiangnan no longer needed to work hard in this regard.

Moreover, Lin Xiangnan didn’t like being an English teacher in the first place, and he took on the role himself because he was afraid that students would complain about advertising fraud.

After getting Lin Xiangnan's promise, the dean breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right. It doesn't matter if you're a student now, but when you graduate, if you still do this, it will have a bad impact. You are a person of some importance, and you don't need money to spend, so why bother?"

"You're just trying to save face, but you're suffering." Lin Xiangnan muttered, his voice gradually getting louder. "You still say you don't need my money? Then when I apply for research funding, you shouldn't be so stubborn."

The dean felt guilty when talking about this and advised: "It's just a small problem, just try to overcome it. Now the country is vigorously developing the economy, and many projects have been cut. Your project can still get key support, which is already very good."

Considering the dean's old age, Lin Xiangnan curled his lips and didn't say anything.

What the dean said was true. After Gu Zhenhua was transferred to Beijing, Sun Yi knew that Lin Xiangnan had no hope of returning. When he called to talk about Lin Xiangnan, he said that the current situation of Factory 132 is not as good as it used to be.

In the past, the funding for Factory 132 had never been cut off. Because the country had always been preparing for war, the leaders were very fond of the military factory.

But now it is twice as difficult to ask for money from the higher-ups. Fortunately, Factory 132 is not weak in both scientific research and production capabilities, and is profitable on paper, so life can go on as usual.

However, some factories have always had poor capabilities and relied entirely on tasks and funding from above. Now they can’t get huge sums of money and can only get a few small amounts. The treatment in the factory has suddenly collapsed.

There is no way, the leaders above can't come up with money. In the past, when the planned economy was in place, we could still survive. No matter how bad the quality of the goods in the department store was, we had to go to the department store to buy them. No matter how bad the attitude of the waiters in the restaurant was, we had to go to the state-owned restaurants when we went out...

Now that there are more individual industrial and commercial households, these units have been squeezed out of money. Leaders want to rob the rich to help the poor and divert money to save factories with poor performance, but they can't do it.

In a few years, it would not be surprising if the unprofitable military factories transformed themselves into selling ice cream or something like that. The people in the factories had to make money to survive.

But people may be a little lazy. As long as the company still pays salaries, no one wants to go out to do business and make money. They still treat the company as a home that will not collapse.

People like Lin Xiangnan, who have a respectable status and a company to back them up, are ultimately a minority.

After all, in everyone's opinion, doing business to make a living is a temporary deal, and only work in an organization can be done for a lifetime, and one cannot lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.

That's why people with bad intentions would write a letter of denunciation to Lin Xiangnan's unit.

"Didn't I say we won't pursue you? Why are you still standing there? I've made everything clear, why don't you leave?" the dean drove him away.

Lin Xiangnan hesitated for two seconds, then put on a flattering smile and said, "Dean, the result given by the institute is a verbal praise for me. But I think that compared to the institute's praise, I prefer the school's reward, because I am now a member of the school, not his institute!!"

The first half of the sentence left the dean speechless, but after hearing the second half, he immediately burst into laughter.

"Your idea is very good, and it is worth the school's effort to train you. Okay, praise you. Bring along your junior brothers and sisters who are substituting for you and give them a group praise."

"Thank you, Dean." The smile on Lin Xiangnan's face became ten degrees more sincere.

She didn't necessarily want praise from the school, mainly because the research institute was a confidential unit and even if she was praised she couldn't tell anyone about it. But it was different at school, she could directly use the school newspaper to endorse her credibility.

Those colleagues who ran training courses actually dared to report her, so she had to let them see the result of their report.

Lin Xiangdong was also called over for a talk by the teacher. There was no big problem, but he didn't get any reward either.

Knowing the outcome of Lin Xiangnan's school's handling, he couldn't help but envy, "Only you have this face. Most units are afraid of trouble, and are also afraid of people who bring trouble to the unit."

"If you can't even solve my small problems, and instead want to solve me, then why am I still staying in this unit? Am I crazy?" Lin Xiangnan sat on the chair with his arms and legs spread, his eyes almost rolling up to the sky.

She doesn't have to attend this class.

Compared with the benefits she brought, that little trouble was not worth mentioning at all, so Lin Xiangnan dared to be so arrogant.

Hearing her say this, other substitute teachers in the training school were nervous and trying to comfort her.

"Calm down, senior, calm down. Didn't the school praise you?"

"That's right, Mr. Lin. Play is play, make noise is noise, but don't joke about resigning. Being a teacher in a training school is not as good as being a teacher in a university."

It was clearly a summary meeting, but it turned into a consolation meeting.

Aunt Hua didn't dare to say a word when she heard this group of part-time teachers belittling the training school in order to persuade Lin Xiangnan.

After the situation calmed down, Auntie Hua asked the other part-time teachers with concern: "Are you all okay? Have you not been called in for a talk by the leaders?"

"No. They didn't report us, so the school won't go to the trouble of looking for us." One of the part-time teachers said, "It's very common for students to be tutors outside. It's just that Sister Lin's situation is a little special."

Who says Lin Xiangnan and Lin Xiangdong are the signature products? It's just that a tall tree attracts the wind.

If even the two of them passed, there would be no problem for others.

Lin Xiangdong became obedient after being scolded by his leader, but Lin Xiangnan became even less cautious after being confronted by his leader.

"The better our training school is, the greater the damage it does to our colleagues who wrote the report letters."

Lin Xiangnan turned the pen in his hand and asked, "I'm going to the United States next month to attend an international academic conference. I can't go there for nothing. Do you have any advertising ideas?"

Lin Xiangdong felt overwhelmed after hearing this. "Don't be angry. Serious matters are the most important."

The other junior students did the same and began to persuade Lin Xiangnan in various ways, "Senior sister, don't mess around, that's a serious academic conference."

Lin Xiangnan was speechless. "I don't need to ask you this."

Not only did she answer the irrelevant question, but she also seemed unreliable.
