Chapter 475: Showdown, I won’t pretend anymore
As soon as Lin Xiangnan left, Minister Lei picked up the phone and called everyone on the list one by one to discuss the matter.
Talking to the old comrades is not so tiring. There is no generation gap between the two sides. Even if Minister Lei speaks to the point, the old comrades can understand what he means.
As soon as he said that everyone should live in harmony, Professor Liu and his friends walked down the stairs, indicating that they would not make a fuss in the newspapers and make a fool of themselves.
Unlike Lin Xiangnan, who called her to hint that she should be more restrained, she immediately rushed to his office and demanded an explanation face to face.
The leaders above stepped in to mediate and the two sides reached a temporary reconciliation.
But when they met, Professor Liu couldn't help but gossip about this with her.
"Who reported you? When you went to Minister Lei, did you report us again?"
They were still feeling aggrieved about this. They had already written the article and were ready to submit it, but then this mess happened.
Professor Liu and others are also sensible and know that Lin Xiangnan is one of the victims. Didn’t you see that she no longer speaks out in the newspaper?
Lin Xiangnan had a bad temper that didn't accept advice, and she couldn't say what she wanted to say, which must have made her feel very frustrated.
Now they are looking for the snitch on their side who broke the rules first. Once they find him, they will definitely criticize him.
"Don't ask. I haven't even figured out who reported me, so it's unlikely you can find out."
Because there is no such person.
Lin Xiangnan said calmly: "I didn't report you. If you don't believe me, go ask Minister Lei. When I went to see him, I didn't even mention your name."
"Don't worry, I know you are not that kind of person." Professor Liu looked trusting.
Lin Xiangnan can win arguments and fights, so there is no need for her to admit defeat. If there were no external interference, Lin Xiangnan would not be afraid of them. She could fight against them with dozens of pen names.
The outcome where both sides lost made Professor Liu feel aggrieved not only for himself but also for Lin Xiangnan.
"It's hard for you too." Professor Liu shook his head and sighed. Not allowing them to quarrel is like putting a socially anxious person in a crowd or locking a socially anxious person in a small dark room. There is no physical harm, but great mental harm.
Lin Xiangnan coughed lightly and was too embarrassed to respond.
She was not in a bad mood, because she won. Not only did she win the quarrel, but Minister Lei specifically asked her to turn off the mute mode because the leaders above felt that her words were more credible. From another perspective, she was the winner of this quarrel.
But Lin Xiangnan knew the confidentiality rules by heart, so she didn't say anything.
All the blame was taken by the non-existent "snitch".
It was the conservative whistleblower who started the trouble and reported Lin Xiangnan to be silenced, so Lin Xiangnan felt wronged and went to Minister Lei to make trouble, and then everyone was silenced. This version of the story has been widely circulated.
With the big guys taking the lead, everyone wrote articles and exchanged ideas in a very harmonious and friendly manner, and all the tension disappeared completely.
If there is something you don't like, just keep it to yourself and argue about it later. Things are tense these days, so please be polite for now.
It's like a campaign to clean up the internet. The articles in newspapers these days are all very bland. The authors simply state their opinions without any personal emotions.
Lin Xiangnan decisively stopped. Apart from publishing professional papers in journals as usual, she did not comment on other hot topics.
She became obedient, and Minister Lei did not dare to refuse the benefits he had promised her.
"Congratulations in advance, you have passed the review of the academic committee with unanimous votes." The notice was about to come out, and Professor Wang came to inform Lin Xiangnan.
"Teacher, your information is a little late. Minister Lei told me a while ago." With Minister Lei's warning, Lin Xiangnan knew that he had a sure win this time.
The current academician is equivalent to the future academician, and the value is very high. Lin Xiangnan is happy to get this title even if it doesn't make much money.
Professor Wang helplessly spread his hands, "That can't be helped. Given our relationship and the fact that I'm your recommender, I have to recuse myself from the review. If it were someone else, I would definitely have obtained first-hand information."
But even though she knew it, she would not brag to others. Especially before the notice came, Professor Wang would not say a word more.
With Lin Xiangnan's achievements, it is only a matter of time before he is selected as a member of the academic department.
What Lin Xiangnan did was not just what was reported in the newspapers. There were also many projects that were kept confidential. For example, the work he did at the research base with Mr. Cui before would not be unveiled to the general public for at least 20 to 30 years.
In other words, the battle records available outside are less than 30% of Lin Xiangnan’s achievements.
"We old bones can rest assured that there is someone to take over." Professor Wang looked very pleased. He patted Lin Xiangnan on the shoulder and asked, "How do you feel now?"
“I felt someone tapping me on the shoulder.”
"Here we go again!" Professor Wang was helpless, but he regained his spirits and said, "Just work hard, the organization is watching and will not let you be an unknown hero. We will give you everything you deserve."
"That's right. After all, the crying child gets the milk." Lin Xiangnan said as a matter of course.
She would not drink the chicken soup her teacher gave her. The industry is special, and experts in their field all have hidden achievements, and there are many unsung heroes.
The older generation was fine and could bear it, but a high percentage of the younger students went abroad.
As soon as he got the title of academician, Lin Xiangnan struck while the iron was hot and made a lot of suggestions to the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Her fuss was not in vain, as a document on the reform of the science and technology system was issued in May 1988.
The document first encourages competition and encourages scientific research institutions to undertake business responsibilities, in order to combine science and technology with economic development. Scientific research institutions can cooperate with enterprises, whether by leasing, participating in shares, merging, or jointly establishing companies of various ownership structures.
Perhaps learning from Lin Xiangnan's experience, the document also encourages scientific research institutions and personnel to find ways to change their working conditions.
Even scientific research institutions have been given such a big loophole, let alone scientific researchers. The document encourages scientific and technological personnel to start businesses by taking unpaid leave, resigning, transferring, or working part-time, and also requires local governments to solve everyone's worries.
The ultimate goal of the country is to develop science and technology and vigorously develop high-tech industries.
In the past, the policy neither said yes nor no, and Lin Xiangnan's practice outside was just skirting the line.
Now that the documents have been received, the principal read them and immediately ran to find Lin Xiangnan, instigating him, "Don't work in Mr. Xie's company anymore. It's not worth it. Whether you start your own company or start a company with someone else, it's better than working for someone else."
The principal fully recognized Lin Xiangnan's value and was afraid that Lin Xiangnan would suffer losses.
Faced with the principal's sincere advice, Lin Xiangnan spread his hands.
"I'm going to show my cards now. I won't pretend anymore. That company was jointly opened by Xie Minglang and I. Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
