Chapter 180 (The 180th Chapter) - The Provocation Method
After the Minister of Health finished speaking, the institute directors were all very excited. Their minds were entirely on the National Medical Science Conference, and they were not so concerned about the Minister of Health's subsequent research arrangements.
After waiting for so many years, they finally saw hope. The country has begun to pay attention to scientific researchers again, and they no longer need to be timid in their drug research.
The directors couldn't contain their excitement and trembling hearts. In front of the Ministry of Health officials, they started discussing it animatedly. Such a joyous occasion was impossible to keep quiet!
"Fortunately, our institute has never been idle over the years. Even though we are not valued by the leaders above, we have continued to work hard to research drugs and have made some groundbreaking research results. Otherwise, our institute would not even be qualified for nomination."
"That's right! The country will definitely pay more and more attention to medical research institutes in the future. We can concentrate on research without worrying about being persecuted by those with ill intentions."
"You all need to think carefully now about what research results you should submit for the award. We can't afford to lose to people from other provinces."
Director Huang was also excitedly discussing the National Pharmaceutical Science Conference with those around him, revealing his anticipation for the conference.
He was secretly delighted. With Lin Yuanshu's research achievements over the years, no matter what, he was sure that one of his works would win an award, and he wouldn't go home empty-handed. Even if he didn't win an award, a nomination would definitely be no problem.
He really made the right choice when he tried to poach someone from another company; he found such a valuable asset. I must thank Director Yu again for his arrogance, which gave him the opportunity to do so.
Seeing the directors' ecstatic expressions, the Minister of Health didn't stop them from discussing. They had been holding back for so long, it was time for them to vent.
An hour later, the meeting ended, and everyone left the Ministry of Health one after another, their faces beaming with joy. They were incredibly excited about the National Medical Science Conference and wished it would be held the very next day.
Director Huang glanced at Director Yu. Thinking of Wu Qin's matter, he deliberately followed behind Director Yu without any attempt to hide it, hoping to get Director Yu's attention.
Director Yu noticed Director Huang's subtle movements. He pursed his lips and left the health department's premises expressionlessly before stopping, turning back to look at Director Huang, and asking with a frown, "Director Huang, you've been following me. Is there something you need? If you want to brag about Comrade Lin Yuanshu, then don't say anything. I don't want to hear such irrelevant talk."
He didn't want to be thanked by Director Huang anymore; it seemed like gratitude, but it was actually showing off, and it was like stabbing him in the heart again.
Director Huang's eyes darted around, and he walked up to Director Yu, saying in a sarcastic tone, "What happened between you and Comrade Lin Yuanshu is in the past, how could I possibly bring it up again! I just admire your skill; your ability to poach talent is no less than mine. I really don't know what kind of drug you gave Comrade Wu Qin to make her insist on transferring to the First Research Institute, and she won't even listen to me anymore."
Upon hearing this, Director Yu revealed a smug expression and said gleefully, "Comrade Wu Qin is simply choosing a wise tree to perch on. Her decision to come to the First Research Institute shows that the Dongfanghong Research Institute can't retain its staff, not that I'm particularly shrewd. There's no such thing as 'if you poach my staff, I can poach yours.'"
Director Huang deliberately pretended to suppress his anger, and said with an ugly expression, "Director Yu, let me give you a friendly reminder. Comrade Wu Qin is not as simple as you think. Rather than regretting it later, it's better to let go now and let Comrade Wu Qin continue to stay in the Dongfanghong Research Institute. This way, everyone will be in a better position!"
Director Yu sneered and questioned, "When did you become so shameless? You're still trying to sow discord with me and make things difficult for an innocent female comrade. If Comrade Wu Qin knew that you were talking nonsense in front of me, she would definitely regret choosing to work at the Dongfanghong Research Institute. Don't worry, I will receive Comrade Wu Qin's transfer documents when I get back, and I won't let you continue to make things difficult for Comrade Wu Qin."
Director Huang quickly intervened, saying, "I'm not trying to sow discord; I'm just kindly reminding you so you won't regret it. I won't allow Comrade Wu Qin to go to your side. You'd better give up sooner rather than later..."
Director Yu refused without hesitation, saying, "I'm sorry, the initiative in this matter does not lie with you, but with me. It's no use if you don't allow it. Besides, if you're so capable, why don't you persuade Comrade Wu Qin not to come to the First Research Institute? I suppose you can't persuade her, so you're trying to persuade me instead."
Director Huang clutched his chest, took a deep breath, and used reverse psychology, "I don't have that ability, but on the other hand, if you have the ability, then accept Comrade Wu Qin's transfer documents today. I want to see if you have the same determination I had when I overcame all difficulties and accepted Lin Yuanshu. If not, then don't delay Comrade Wu Qin's future, and don't let Comrade Wu Qin become the second Comrade Lin Yuanshu."
When this matter was mentioned, Director Yu's face turned very ugly. It was because he hesitated that Director Huang was able to take advantage of the situation.
He said firmly, "Of course I have the ability, don't underestimate me."
Director Huang gave a sarcastic look and said sarcastically, "Is that so? I don't believe it. How about we make a bet? If you don't complete the handover procedures for Comrade Wu Qin by tonight, then you should give up on Comrade Wu Qin and stop keeping her hanging on."
"No problem," Director Yu replied without hesitation.
As the saying goes, one may lose the game but not the battle. He will go back and handle the handover procedures for Wu Qin. He is absolutely not going to lose.
Director Huang smiled slightly, uttering provocative words, "Then I'll wait and see. I hope you won't disappoint Comrade Wu Qin."
Director Yu let out a cold laugh, unwilling to continue engaging in Director Huang's nonsense; getting back to the research institute to handle serious business was more important now.
As Director Huang watched Director Yu's departing figure, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally gotten rid of Director Yu; it hadn't been easy for him!
There is no leader in the world more considerate than him, who proactively helps employees who want to leave the research institute without asking for anything in return.
Afterwards, Director Huang also left and rode his bicycle back to the research institute.
As soon as he returned to his office, he told his secretary about the medical conference. He said enthusiastically, "Comrade Lin Yuanshu has quite a few research results. I really don't know which one to report. Let's just report them all and let the leaders choose..."
The secretary paused for a moment, then whispered a reminder: "The research institute doesn't belong to Deputy Director Lin alone. If you make this arrangement, it will cause dissatisfaction among others. There are already rumors in the institute that you are biased towards Deputy Director Lin. If you really do this, you will undoubtedly confirm these rumors."
Director Huang frowned and asked, "Who spread the rumors? It's complete nonsense."
secretary:"……"
He discovered that his key points were completely different from those of Director Huang.
Although he was somewhat speechless, he still had to answer the leader's question. "When Deputy Director Lin first came to the institute, there was this rumor, but it wasn't very widespread at the time. In addition, Deputy Director Lin was later favored by the Minister of Health, so everyone gradually forgot about it. Some time ago, Comrade Wu Qin came to you and made a fuss, saying that you were biased, so this matter was brought up again."
Director Huang's expression was indescribable. He felt betrayed, having just helped Wu Qin, only to learn of this from his secretary the very next second.
He pondered for a while before slowly saying, "I will reconsider the matter of reporting research results at the medical conference and try to find a solution that satisfies both sides. You'd better watch your mouth and not blurt out everything."
The secretary covered her mouth with a serious expression and nodded slightly, indicating that she would definitely keep quiet.
Director Huang waved his hand, signaling his secretary to leave. He couldn't help but sigh. He had been quite excited, but after chatting with his secretary, his happy mood vanished.
They wanted their research results to win awards, while he wanted the institute's staff to win awards. Although they sounded similar, one was for his own benefit, and the other was for the benefit of the institute.
When the benefits are right in front of them, how many people think about the bigger picture?
Director Huang struggled with this dilemma until the end of the workday, unable to come up with a solution that satisfied both Lin Yuanshu's research findings and the researchers at the institute.
Lin Yuanshu was completely unaware of this; she was happily heading home from get off work.
Lin Yuanshu's happy mood came to an abrupt end when she saw Zhou Dafu and others sitting in her living room. She knew that her father-in-law and mother-in-law's visits were never good news.
Before Lin Yuanshu returned home, Lin's mother didn't give the Zhou family a kind look. She didn't even pour them a cup of hot water. They didn't come when her daughter was in confinement, but after her daughter finished confinement and took the college entrance examination, they suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
They're absent when they should be there, but suddenly appear when they shouldn't to assert their presence.
Zhou Dafu was very puzzled by Lin Ma's indifference. He didn't know what they had done to offend Lin Ma, that she would treat them this way.
However, he did not voice his doubts, since he had come here today not to argue, but to discuss serious matters with Lin Yuanshu.
Lin Yuanshu placed his military green satchel on the hook in the entryway, then sat down in the chair opposite Chow Tai Fook and asked with a smile, "Mom and Dad, what can I do for you?"
Zhou Dafu asked with a serious expression, "I heard you went to take the college entrance exam? If you go to university, what will happen to the children?"
Lin Yuanshu said matter-of-factly, "Of course it's the child's father who takes care of him."
Zhou Dafu strongly disagreed, saying, "He's a man, how could he possibly take good care of a child? He should be out earning money, not staying home with the child. If others knew about this, they would think Xiangyang is idle and incompetent. You wouldn't want your loved one to be ridiculed by others, would you?"
Lin Yuanshu stroked his chin, his expression complex, and said, "Hasn't Xiangyang been ridiculed enough? Anyway, having more debts is never a bad thing; it's just one more thing now."
From the moment she met Zhou Xiangyang, Zhou Xiangyang's reputation was never good.
