Chapter 191 Three Awards
From the minister's tone and expression, Lin Yuanshu understood one thing: the secretary had made a mistake and was sent to work at the grassroots level by the Minister of Health, rather than the secretary voluntarily going to work at the grassroots level. This was truly good news, relieving her of any worries.
As for what mistakes the secretary made, it was none of her business. She only cared about the results and was not interested in the process, nor did she want to get to the bottom of it.
She smiled and changed the subject, not continuing the conversation about this unpleasant topic.
After an unknown amount of time, the black sedan arrived at the entrance of the research institute's apartment building. Lin Yuanshu got out of the car and thanked the minister again for his help.
The minister waved his hand dismissively and said, "You don't need to be so polite with me, it was just a coincidence."
Lin Yuanshu nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I definitely won't be polite to you next time."
Just listen to what the leader says. If she really becomes rude next time, the leader will be the one who gets upset.
Lin Yuanshu stood there until the car was out of sight before turning around and going home.
In the car, the driver asked with a smile, "Minister, where are we going now?"
The minister said with a serious expression, "Return to the Ministry of Health."
"Okay," the driver replied.
On the day of the awards ceremony at the Medical Science Conference, Lin Yuanshu wore a navy blue women's Zhongshan suit, dark gray trousers, and black leather shoes, aiming for a simple and dignified look rather than a pretty one.
Since it might be in the newspapers, I definitely need to present myself well and leave a good impression on the leaders.
The morning session consisted of important speeches by leaders, followed by speeches from various representatives; the awards ceremony took place in the afternoon.
To be honest, this was Lin Yuanshu's first time attending such an important occasion, and she was a little nervous. If it were her previous life, she could only watch such a conference on her phone and would never have dreamed that she would be qualified to participate.
Although she didn't have a chance to speak, she could take notes diligently. Surrounded by unfamiliar leaders, she naturally had to show her positive side and maintain a proper attitude in order to have a chance for promotion.
Most people shared similar thoughts, and everyone was taking notes diligently, even more so than when they were working.
After lunch, Lin Yuanshu and the others did not rest. Instead, they took a car back from the Xiyi Hotel to the Great Hall of the People. The Great Hall of the People could not accommodate so many participants at once, so they were arranged to have lunch at the Xiyi Hotel.
The awards ceremony began, and the host didn't keep everyone in suspense. He first welcomed everyone to the conference, and then began to read out the list of winners and present the certificates of honor in batches.
This is the only option we have, because there are just too many award recipients. If each recipient could receive an award individually and give a speech, the awards ceremony alone would take several days to run.
Therefore, the leaders stipulated that only the award recipients whose research results were most representative could speak on stage.
Lin Yuanshu received a total of three awards: two National Medical and Health Science Awards and one Advanced Individual Award from the National Medical and Health Science Conference.
She earned the opportunity to speak on stage based on her research findings on the production processes of acetaminophen and sulfadiazine.
Compared to the research findings on improving the penicillin production process, the leaders valued the research findings on improving the acetaminophen production process more.
This is because the research results on the improvement of the acetaminophen production process are more groundbreaking and groundbreaking, making acetaminophen a commonly used medicine for the general public, and also making it available to pregnant women and children as an antipyretic.
Lin Yuanshu had prepared her speech in advance. She walked onto the stage calmly, with a smile on her face, and appeared poised and elegant.
She first thanked the organization and leaders for their guidance, then briefly reported on her research findings, and finally emphasized her determination to serve the people.
The Minister of Health, sitting in the audience, was very satisfied with Lin Yuanshu's composure, as he had not embarrassed him.
Although Lin Yuanshu won three awards, she was not particularly outstanding among the award recipients, at least not as outstanding as her age.
This is the first national medical science conference, so it's normal for attendees to have several research findings, after all, it's the culmination of ten years of research.
The most outstanding researcher won six awards, making Lin Yuanshu seem insignificant in comparison.
Lin Yuanshu wasn't jealous at all; he admired her immensely. After all, their research results were genuine, while she had relied on external forces. Without her past life's experience, she would have been quite remarkable to win an award.
To be honest, age is a double-edged sword for her. It can make her more valued by her superiors, but it can also leave her with little say among her seniors.
After the awards ceremony, Lin Yuanshu cooperated fully with the reporters, taking photos and answering questions, making sure they didn't leave empty-handed.
As for which newspaper these people were reporters from, she wasn't quite sure. She only knew one thing: the reporters who were allowed into the Great Hall of the People during the conference had all undergone strict screening. They could not possibly have ulterior motives, nor would they dare to write anything recklessly in the newspapers.
This is the first Medical Science Conference, and the leaders are hoping for a good start. They will absolutely not allow anyone to maliciously disrupt the smooth convening of the conference.
That's why today's closing ceremony was so harmonious and joyful; no one dared to say anything sarcastic or sarcastic, and everyone behaved very kindly.
At this moment, Lin Yuanshu was not in a hurry to send the certificate of honor back to the Dongfanghong Research Institute. Instead, he followed the participants to the Xiyi Hotel. He had finally met so many outstanding researchers, and he was determined to have a good chat with them to broaden his horizons.
Their attitude towards Lin Yuanshu has also changed a lot. Before, they didn't care much, and they would answer Lin Yuanshu's questions. Now, they will listen to Lin Yuanshu's opinions and start to take Lin Yuanshu seriously.
These three awards are quite prestigious.
Although Lin Yuanshu did not return to the research institute in time, she did not forget to use the phone at Xiyi Hotel to tell Director Huang that she wanted to stay and talk to the participants, so that Director Huang and the others would not have to wait for her at the research institute.
Director Huang was exceptionally understanding. He smiled and said, "We already know the good news that the institute has won two awards. There's no need for you to rush to return the certificates of honor. It doesn't matter whether you return them sooner or later. I think your idea is excellent. You'll benefit from chatting with these industry veterans for the rest of your life."
"Okay, thank you for your understanding," Lin Yuanshu said softly.
Director Huang said solemnly, "Why are you being so polite with me! I also hope that you can do better and better. Only when you are doing well can the institute do better. Let's work together to make the Dongfanghong Institute better and better."
Lin Yuanshu readily agreed, "I will try my best."
Although she had some unpleasant experiences with Director Huang, she had no intention of going to other units for the time being, as people she knew well were easier to deal with.
Director Huang hung up the phone and slammed his fist on the table in anger.
The secretary swallowed hard and asked curiously, "Director Huang, what happened? Did Deputy Director Lin say something that displeased you? In my heart, even if she won awards for both of her research achievements, she still can't surpass you. You are the director who deserves everyone's respect."
While gathering information, he did not forget to demonstrate his loyalty.
Director Huang sighed and said through gritted teeth, "She didn't say anything to upset me. Comrade Lin Yuanshu's attitude towards me is still the same as before. I was blinded by greed and listened to your slander, which is why I did such a brainless thing."
His eyes were filled with regret as he continued, "It's thanks to the leaders above valuing Comrade Lin Yuanshu's abilities that our institute won two awards today. I told everyone to put the big picture first, but I was filled with selfish thoughts. It was just a momentary lapse in judgment!"
The secretary was taken aback for a moment, then quickly explained, "I...I didn't say anything bad. I was just trying to put myself in your shoes!"
He felt more wronged than Dou E, because no matter how things were explained, it turned out to be his fault. Everything he said back then was the truth, and Director Huang's continued unjustified bias towards Lin Yuanshu was bound to cause dissatisfaction among everyone!
He had thought that Director Huang would find a way to quell everyone's dissatisfaction, but Director Huang chose to side with others. What could he do? He couldn't very well order Director Huang around!
Director Huang looked his secretary up and down, his expression unfriendly, and said, "Why did you say those things back then? Did someone bribe you?"
secretary:"……"
For a moment, he didn't know how to explain it. What was this all about? He should have just talked too much back then!
He remained silent for a while before slowly speaking, "Director Huang, although I am not one to keep secrets, my loyalty to you is evident to all. How could I possibly be bribed by others? I request that you arrange for someone to investigate my case and prove my innocence."
Director Huang raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "I was just joking with you. How could I possibly doubt you? Alright, go ahead and get busy! You don't need to stay by my side anymore."
The fact that the secretary dared to let him investigate can only mean two things: either the secretary is innocent, or the secretary was prepared all along, as if everything has come full circle.
The secretary left Director Huang's office with a worried look on his face. This matter was proving difficult to handle!
By the time Lin Yuanshu returned home, it was already dark.
At this time, neither Zhou Xiangyang nor Lin's mother were asleep. Zhou Xiangyang was waiting in the living room, occasionally approaching the door to check for any movement outside, while Lin's mother was waiting in the room, keeping Wenwen company.
Hearing the noise at the door, Zhou Xiangyang rushed over immediately. Upon seeing Lin Yuanshu, he asked with concern, "Why are you back so late?"
Lin Yuanshu explained in a low voice, "I didn't realize I was chatting with those seniors too late. They're leaving Beijing tomorrow, and they all have research projects to work on. If I miss today, I don't know when I'll see them again."
This trip was very fruitful. The senior colleagues were quite easy to talk to and promised her that if she encountered any problems in her project tasks in the future, she could send them a telegram or make a phone call, and they would be happy to help her.
Indeed, one must be strong to succeed. If she had no skills, these seniors wouldn't have bothered with her, let alone made such a promise.
