After everyone had finished the interview, Jiang Chen discussed the candidates with the other four interviewers. At present, most of the candidates have been decided, and the remaining one spot is somewhat controversial.
Elder Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Although Zhao Zheng lacks some innovative spirit in scientific research, he is steady and reliable. A team also needs such a person."
Mr. Zhou smiled, but he did not hold back in his words: "Being steady and prudent may work in other units, but scientific research requires innovation. Without innovation, there will be no creation. I personally think Zhao Zheng is not capable of this."
Elder Yang frowned, "Now that the team has been basically finalized, the sooner the project is launched, the better. In less than two months, Xiao Jiang will start school and will not be able to stay in the institute for a while, so these two months are almost a race against time. The sooner the project is launched and the sooner it gets on track, the smoother it will be in the future."
Mr. Zhou did not back down at all: "This project is a long-term project. We don't need one or two months. Xiao Jiang has to go to class and military training. If a project team is to be established, it must form a stable and united team. Each candidate must be carefully selected. We can't just randomly select people because of time constraints. This way, we won't let the project collapse if he leaves for a few days."
Mr. Yang asked Mr. Zhou: "Now the top computer researchers in the country are all here, except for those who have projects or whose identities have not been reviewed. Where else do you want to choose from? Do you have to go abroad to select them carefully?"
"Is it possible that we can't even find another top researcher in information processing in such a big country with so many universities and research institutes?" Mr. Zhou also lost his temper and raised his voice, "Zhao Zheng is not an information processor. Doesn't the team need someone who specializes in system architecture? No, adding Zhao Zheng will not be of any use to the entire team. Instead, it will be a burden!"
Mr. Yang was not to be outdone: "Domestic scientific research in the field of information processing..."
The two old men were calm and peaceful at first, but after one of them raised his voice, the other one could no longer sit still and they started arguing fiercely in an instant.
Jiang Chen sat aside, quietly looking through the information, reading all the resumes from beginning to end again, and sighed softly in his heart.
There is indeed a lack of an information processing personnel in the team, but in China, there are not many top scientific researchers in the field of information processing. As a cornerstone figure in the field of information processing in China, Mr. Xiang would have recommended a suitable candidate long ago if there was one. However, he has not even opened his mouth, which shows that there is really a shortage of people now.
At the beginning, Jiang Chen was sure that there were no researchers in the field of information processing among those who signed contracts with the company, so no matter what, their team did need an information processing researcher.
It’s just that if a person doesn’t exist, then he or she doesn’t exist, and you can’t create one out of thin air.
Just as Jiang Chen was thinking about where to find or how to replace this position, Xiang Lao, who had not interrupted since the beginning of the discussion, spoke up: "Since the last vacancy cannot be confirmed, I do have a recommended candidate."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and Elder Zhou and Elder Yang also looked over immediately.
"Old Xiang, you have someone who made us quarrel for so long?" Zhou Laoyuan's face was still full of excitement from the quarrel. Hearing this, he widened his eyes and said unhappily, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Mr. Yang also frowned: "I remember that your students all have projects in hand. Huang Zhong just passed the interview. Who else?"
Mr. Xiang sighed and shook his head, "His undergraduate degree is not in computer science, and he is not currently working or doing research in this field. Besides...it will probably be difficult to invite that guy over."
Old Yang frowned and pondered, something flashed through his mind. But Old Zhou quickly spoke: "You are not talking about the kid from the Shi family, are you?"
Mr. Xiang looked at them and did not answer.
Elder Yang also glared: "You let the kid from the Shi family come here? Are you planning to ruin this project? I don't agree!"
It's rare for Mr. Zhou to form a united front with Mr. Yang: "I don't agree either. Not to mention that he is just a non-staff member of the institute and can't be considered suitable. With his personality, how can he do this for several years? If he wants to leave, can you stop him?"
Without waiting for Elder Xiang to speak, Elder Zhou said directly: "If you could stop him, you would have stopped him when he went abroad to study medicine."
Elder Yang continued, "Old Zhou is right. The kid from the Shi family went to the hospital as soon as he came back. I heard that he is a good doctor now. My former boss had to queue up to make an appointment to have surgery with him. It shows that the kid is indeed talented in medicine. If you bring him to the research institute, not to mention whether he agrees or not, the patients waiting in line will not agree either."
Mr. Xiang was speechless after being bullied by his two good friends. His beard even trembled a few times. This was the reason why he had been listening to their argument but had not said a word. He knew that as soon as he brought up the issue of Shi Feng Yue, he would be refuted and ridiculed by them.
But, is there anyone here who can suggest a better candidate than Shi Fengyue?
At the beginning, Mr. Xiang taught him computers step by step. When he was ten years old, he had surpassed his most talented and hardworking students at that time. When he was thirteen years old, there was nothing left for him to teach him. At that time, he always thought that this child was extremely talented and might become the top of the computer research field in Country C within ten years after graduation.
But who would have known that he chose to study medicine, and in the following years he didn't even go home. Not to mention seeing him, even his grandfather and uncle couldn't see him.
Mr. Xiang was angry that he studied medicine instead of computer science, and what made him even angrier was that he just left and acted recklessly, leaving behind countless things that people criticized. As a result, until now, the institute shakes its head when it mentions him, and his reputation is extremely bad.
But after all, he was the child that Old Xiang had watched grow up, and judging from the time they had spent together, Shi Fengyue was more like his own grandson than Xiang Hong. So when he saw the list given by Jiang Chen, even though scientific researchers from all over the country had not yet arrived, he had already thought of Shi Fengyue.
At that time, he only thought of Shi Fengyue. He also knew that Shi Fengyue was working in the hospital now, and he didn't really want Shi Fengyue to join Jiang Chen's team. But now Jiang Chen's team is missing such a person, and Shi Fengyue is the best candidate. How could he not speak up?
Mr. Xiang's silence also silenced Mr. Zhou and Mr. Yang. How could they not know that Shi Fengyue might indeed be the best candidate for this position?
Not only did Mr. Xiang teach him, but all the professors and their friends inside and outside the compound had taught him. When Shi Fengyue was in high school, they argued several times over which school he should apply to and whose student he should be in the future.
They taught Shi Fengyue only because he was smart and learned things quickly and felt a sense of accomplishment, but Xiang Lao really treated Shi Fengyue as his own grandson and apprentice. He watched him study and take medicine. When Shi Fengyue was six years old and had a high fever, there was no one at Shi's house that night, and Xiang Lao carried him on his back for who knows how far before he found the hospital.
At that time, everyone thought that Shi Fengyue would eventually become Mr. Xiang's last disciple, so even though they were vying for the position, they didn't have much hope in their hearts.
But Shi Fengyue did not become anyone's student, but chose to study medicine abroad. They were disappointed, but more importantly, they felt unfair for their good friend.
Elder Xiang sighed softly. He didn't look at Elder Zhou and Elder Yang, and said to Jiang Chen, "Everyone in the team must be carefully selected. If there is no suitable candidate, just wait a little longer."
Jiang Chen was thinking about the possibility of bringing Shi Fengyue into the team. Hearing this, he came back to his senses and nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Mr. Xiang, do you think that if Shi Fengyue agrees, the institute will let him join the team?"
Mr. Xiang shook his head and said bluntly: "The Military Research Institute will not allow him to join the establishment, but you can bring him into the team in the name of the company's contract."
Jiang Chen felt relieved after hearing this and made a decision.
When Shi Fengyue saw Jiang Chen at the office door, he paused slightly and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
At the He family banquet a week ago, he had spoken to Jiang Chen for a few words. He knew that the project he was working on was about to be established and that he would be very busy during this period. He was also prepared to make further progress after he went to college, but he did not expect to see him at the door of his office.
Jiang Chen also saw Shi Fengyue, he squinted his eyes and waved his hand.
"When did you come here?"
Shi Fengyue pushed open the office door and Jiang Chen followed him in.
"Not long after, I heard from the nurse that you were undergoing surgery. This is the second one today." Jiang Chen's eyes fell on Shi Fengyue's brows. He didn't look tired at all, but there were some bloodshot on the whites of his eyes.
Shi Fengyue always looks lazy in his daily life, but he is very rigorous in the hospital. Even if he is performing several operations in a row, it is difficult to see any fatigue between his brows. It is difficult to combine his appearance of preferring to sit rather than stand in his daily life with his state at work.
Shi Fengyue rubbed his brows and said calmly, "There will be another one in two hours."
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment and suddenly became curious: "Shi Fengyue, last time I asked you why you chose to study medicine, you didn't answer, but now I still want to know."
Shi Fengyue raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Why?"
He asked, "Why are you so curious about my affairs?"
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought about what Shi Fengyue said. He seemed to be very interested in Shi Fengyue's affairs, but in fact, before Shi Fengyue, he rarely dug into other people's private affairs.
He has experienced three lifetimes and met all kinds of people. There are always a few whose eyes seem to be full of stories, but the strange thing is that he has never been curious or explored.
Only Shi Fengyue would make him always want to know more about him without even realizing it.
"I don't know either." Jiang Chen said honestly: "Maybe people around you always mention you."
Shi Fengyue supported his chin with one hand, looked up at him, and said in a lazy and relaxed voice: "Who mentioned me again?"
"Mr. Xiang." Jiang Chen paused and said, "Didn't I tell you a few days ago that I wanted to set up a scientific research team? The interview just ended yesterday."
Shi Fengyue: "How is it?"
"Basically, the scientific researchers in the military research institute have been confirmed, and the company has also signed a contract with candidates, but we are still short of an information processing professional."
Shi Fengyue took two X-rays of the patient and looked at them, then asked casually, "Does Mr. Xiang have any recommendations?"
"I recommended Professor Huang, but he alone is not enough." Jiang Chen looked at Shi Fengyue and said, "Although Professor Huang knows a little about information processing, he is better at information retrieval. Elder Xiang said there are others who are more suitable."
Shi Fengyue paused, slowly raised his head, and his eyes met Jiang Chen's.
He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Me?"
Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
Shi Fengyue rarely showed a trace of surprise. No one knew what he was thinking about. He curled his lips and said, "I am a doctor now, and my research should also be about making medicines."
"Don't you want to consider it?" Jiang Chen thought that Feng Yue would refuse in the future. Although it was a pity, he was not too disappointed.
Shi Fengyue smiled and said, "You don't want me to go?"
Hearing the implication of his words, Jiang Chen was slightly stunned and his eyes widened a little.
"I still have more than ten operations on hand, which will take at least a week."
Jiang Chen immediately said: "It's okay, I'll wait for you."
Shi Fengyue curled his lips and was about to say something when someone knocked on the office door twice. A nurse poked her head in and said, "Doctor Shi, Doctor Zhang from the anesthesiology department wants you to come over. Your patient's physical examination showed some problems and it seems that he cannot be given general anesthesia."
"I'll be right there."
Shi Fengyue stood up, took off the white coat hanging on the side and put it on.
"If you are busy, I will go back first." Jiang Chen just sat down and stood up. He looked at his watch and found that he still had time to get back to the research institute.
Shi Fengyue nodded casually, and just as he reached the door, he thought of something and turned back and said, "You can check out the forum when you have time."
Jiang Chen: "What forum?"
Shi Fengyue paused, smiled, and said in a somewhat hurried tone: "You will know if you go and take a look."
Jiang Chen was puzzled. After returning to the hospital, he took out his cell phone and opened a well-known forum. He took a quick glance but didn't see anything strange. When he was about to close the forum, he saw two young girls on the side of the road looking at him.
It wasn't the usual quick glance that passersby would give him, but rather it was as if he was comparing something.
Jiang Chen felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it and walked towards the bus stop in front.
The two soldiers who had been following him for the past two days had returned to the army to report on their duties. Today, he suddenly decided to come to the hospital to find Shi Fengyue, so he didn't have anyone to follow him. So when he went back at this time, there was no special car to pick him up like before, and he had to take the car by himself.
Standing at the bus stop, this feeling of being stared at was even more obvious, especially after getting on the bus. He stood holding the hanging ring, and a girl sitting next to him stared at him without blinking, but when he looked over, she immediately avoided his gaze. There were also such vague gazes from the girls next to him.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Because he has been good-looking since he was a child, Jiang Chen is often stared at when he walks on the street or in school, but most of the time people would just look at him a few more times, and it is rare that they would stare at him like this. And I don’t know if it’s Jiang Chen’s illusion, but now it seems that there are more than one or two people on the bus who always look at him.
Suddenly remembering the forum that Shi Fengyue mentioned, he took out his phone again. This time, he didn't just glance at it casually like before, but read from the beginning.
The first post, which is also the most popular one, has the title: Coming over from X, I was struck by the beautiful photos of the handsome boy at the school gate. Now someone has dug out his photos from the school forum, and the author of the post is not keeping them to himself and is sharing them together.
This post seemed to have nothing to do with him. Jiang Chen moved his eyes downward and saw the second post: Repost: The true identity of the popular male student interviewed at the school gate is revealed. He is truly the son of a wealthy family. Photos provide solid evidence.
Jiang Chen continued to read, and the other posts had nothing to do with him. His hand that was pressing the down button paused, and he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been interviewed at the gate of Chenghua University when he took the college entrance examination. He immediately scrolled up and found the first post and opened it.
Under the title, a picture slowly loaded up - the familiar basketball court of Yanyi Middle School, where he, wearing his school uniform, was jumping up and shooting.
He continued to flip through the pages, finding photos of him and his classmates, reading in class, participating in sports meets, eating in the cafeteria, and even going home with Shen Xu, Huo Bo and the others... The photos here are so complete that they are almost a photo album of his campus life.
The replies below were all thanking the poster, or saying they had saved the post as their computer/phone screensaver, and some people also sent his photos.
Jiang Chen knew that there were classmates in their school who liked photography and would often take photos during breaks or campus activities. Occasionally, classmates would ask him to take photos, but he didn't know that in addition to the ones he knew about, there were so many other photos that he didn't know about.
He clicked on the next post. The poster did not post a photo, but wrote in the main post: Original text: I have a rich second-generation classmate who attended a banquet some time ago. She then recorded a video of the protagonist of the banquet and showed it to me. At that time, she just wanted to share a handsome guy with me, but I didn’t expect that the poster had a keen eye and recognized at a glance that it was the young man at the school gate who was very popular a few days ago.
There are several screenshots on the second floor. The pixels are a bit blurry, but Jiang Chen can tell at a glance that they were taken at a banquet a few days ago. In the photos, he is wearing a white suit and talking to someone. Although his profile is a bit blurry, it does not affect others' recognition of him, because there is also a picture of an interview taken from some news article next to it, with his profile from the same angle, which can be recognized at a glance.
Jiang Chen flipped through the pages and saw that most people were discussing the two photos and his identity. Many people were also saying bad things about him, as if they were scolding him - pretending to be cool? And they concluded that his face would be swollen sooner or later?
After reading the whole story of the quarrel, Jiang Chen finally understood what was going on.
——He said in an interview before that except for a biology question in the comprehensive science exam, the other questions in the college entrance examination were not difficult.
Because of this sentence, some people concluded that his grades must be so bad that he couldn't even understand the questions, which attracted countless people to agree and echo, because most people believe that biology is recognized as the easiest subject in comprehensive science.
Some students who took the college entrance examination this year spoke up for him, proving that the biology content in this comprehensive science exam was indeed beyond the syllabus and was more difficult than physics and chemistry. However, there were more people who refuted this, and so the argument went on back and forth in various forums. In addition, because of his good looks, there were more and more people who spoke up in the forum, so the replies piled up higher and higher, and there were more and more posts.
Now there are posts discussing him in almost all well-known forums. Passersby can't help but click in to take a look and then express their opinions. This cycle repeats over and over again, and the popularity has not subsided. The video of the He family banquet released a day ago pushed the popularity to the peak.
Some people are speculating about his identity, some are explaining for him, some are waiting for the college entrance examination results to be released, and some are just here to see the photos...
Jiang Chen quickly glanced through several posts. Although he was a little surprised, he did not feel any emotion. Instead, he got off the bus very calmly.
Compared with the public opinion and suppression he experienced when he was granted the management power of the Yangtze River system in front of the people of the entire galaxy, these are nothing compared to his own and are not worth worrying about at all.
However, Jiang Chen did not believe that a post could remain popular for such a long time for no reason. There must be someone behind it.
