Chapter 144 Issuing the Notice
Lin Yuanshu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhou Xiangyang's words. It's comfortable to be around simple people because they don't overthink things.
Zhou Xiangyang has his flaws, and she has hers, so in a way, they are quite a good match.
The next day, Director Huang went to see the Ministry of Health early in the morning. The Minister of Health told him that Director Cao had taken a liking to Lin Yuanshu and decided to let Lin Yuanshu join the schistosomiasis prevention medical team and go to the epidemic area to stabilize the epidemic.
Since Lin Yuanshu had mentioned this matter to Director Huang before, Director Huang was aware of it. He did not show any shock, but calmly said, "We will unconditionally obey the organization's arrangements without any objection."
The minister raised an eyebrow and said with a helpless expression, "You can have objections, after all, Director Cao wants to poach Comrade Lin Yuanshu to his research institute."
Director Huang thought for a moment and said slowly, "There really isn't one. I believe Comrade Lin Yuanshu will make the most appropriate choice."
He wouldn't let the minister use him as a pawn to make things difficult for Director Cao. After all, the top leaders now value Director Cao highly, and whether the epidemic in Yueyang and other places can be quickly quelled depends on the abilities demonstrated by Director Cao.
The minister was not angry at Director Huang's words. He solemnly reminded him, "I don't know what the most suitable choice is. I just hope that Comrade Lin Yuanshu will not go to work at the Xiangcheng Pharmaceutical Industry Research Institute. I'm entrusting this arduous task to you. Don't let me down!"
The departure of such a capable person from Beijing is definitely a loss for him. He has never seen a researcher with higher work efficiency than Comrade Lin Yuanshu.
Director Huang swallowed hard and said confidently, "I believe Comrade Lin Yuanshu will not be swayed by Director Cao's sweet talk. Besides, Comrade Lin Yuanshu's wife is still working at the Dongfanghong Research Institute. She can't possibly abandon everything here just to work at the Xiangcheng Pharmaceutical Industry Research Institute. What the Xiangcheng Pharmaceutical Industry Research Institute can give her, the Dongfanghong Research Institute can also give her. She has no reason to leave. I have known Comrade Lin Yuanshu for so long, and I have confidence in her. I also hope you can have some confidence in us."
The minister paused for a moment, then burst into laughter and said, "I really like your confident demeanor. Now that you've said that, I'm relieved."
Director Huang chatted with the minister for another half hour about the epidemic area and the schistosomiasis prevention medical team before leaving the Ministry of Health and returning to the research institute.
He first went to the bulletin board and posted the notice that Lin Yuanshu was going to the epidemic area. Then he went straight to Lin Yuanshu's office area, intending to have a good talk with Lin Yuanshu and try to find out what Lin Yuanshu thought.
He had already given his assurances to the minister, and he didn't want Lin Yuanshu to let him down, otherwise he would be too ashamed to face the minister.
Those passing by the bulletin board noticed the new notice and instinctively stopped to look at it, then began discussing it animatedly.
They all envied Lin Yuanshu for getting such a great opportunity, and they also wanted to work in the epidemic area! Although the environment in the epidemic area was harsh and the challenges were great, it was precisely because of this that the work achievements were even more outstanding.
Compared to that, what do the harsh conditions in the epidemic area matter!
What's more terrifying than the harsh environment in the epidemic area is that they don't have this opportunity, even if they are not afraid of difficulties.
"If I had known there was such a good thing, I should have tried to participate in this technical exchange conference," a group leader exclaimed.
Another team leader comforted her, saying, "Try to think positively. Even if you attend this technical exchange conference, you might not be noticed by Director Cao, since you know nothing about schistosomiasis."
The team leader said irritably, "Thank you for your comfort, but please don't do it again next time. Just let me be sad! The more you comfort me, the sadder I become."
Another team leader muttered under his breath, "Honest advice is hard to hear but beneficial; the truth is always so hurtful."
Upon hearing this, the team leader rolled his eyes. He said with great puzzlement, "I really don't know where Comrade Lin Yuanshu got the time to learn so much. The fact that she was able to join the schistosomiasis prevention medical team means that she is not completely ignorant about schistosomiasis. I remember that she didn't even go to university. Logically speaking, her knowledge should be less than ours."
Another group leader replied with a helpless expression, "I heard that Comrade Lin Yuanshu is always reading. Maybe she is studying new knowledge even during her breaks!"
The team leader instantly felt the pressure.
When Team Leader Ye saw the notice, she couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Lin Yuanshu had gotten what she wanted. She was quite happy to see Lin Yuanshu climb the ladder step by step. She was very curious about how far Lin Yuanshu, as a female researcher, could go.
At the same time, Lin Yuanshu was shocked to see Director Huang come to see her in person. She couldn't help but guess, "Director Huang, why are you here? Is it because I can't join the schistosomiasis prevention medical team?"
Director Huang did not answer immediately, but sat down on the stool in front of Lin Yuanshu and denied it, saying, "Of course not. The notice that you joined the schistosomiasis prevention medical team has been posted on the bulletin board. You can go and take a look later. I came to see you for other things."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanshu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "What is it?"
Her work has been going smoothly lately, so there shouldn't be anything so serious that Director Huang would come to see her personally!
Director Huang pursed his lips, his expression complex, and said, "I chatted with the Minister of Health this morning. Why didn't you mention to me that Director Cao wanted you to work at the Xiangcheng Pharmaceutical Industry Research Institute?"
Lin Yuanshu subconsciously replied, "Because I don't think this matter is important. I never thought about working at the Xiangcheng Pharmaceutical Industry Research Institute. You have been kind to me and have always supported me. How could I possibly think about leaving the Dongfanghong Research Institute!"
Director Huang tentatively inquired, "Things are unpredictable. What if Director Cao has been treating you well all along? After all, there are just too many uncontrollable things that happened when you went to the epidemic area with Director Cao this time. Neither the Minister of Health nor I want to receive your transfer application."
Lin Yuanshu pondered for a moment, trying hard to come up with a way to dispel Director Huang's concerns. If she couldn't, she might not be able to stay in the epidemic area for long.
“Director Huang, I think you and the Minister of Health really don’t need to worry about this kind of thing. It’s true that Director Cao values me now, but the Xiangcheng Pharmaceutical Industry Research Institute must also have talents he values. I’m not the only one for him. The difference between family and outsiders is still very obvious.”
She paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, I have already established myself at the Dongfanghong Research Institute. There is no need to start over in an unfamiliar place and make others recognize my abilities again. Most importantly, it is easier to obtain medical research resources in Beijing than in Hunan. I don't need to go to such lengths."
Lin Yuanshu genuinely felt that this matter was insignificant, which is why she didn't tell Director Huang. She couldn't understand why Director Huang and the Minister of Health would worry about such a thing. She wasn't a short-sighted person who would blindly follow someone just because they were nice to her.
Beijing is a great place; others have to work very hard to get a job here, so why would she even consider transferring away?
After listening to Lin Yuanshu's words, Director Huang chuckled softly. He wasn't laughing at Lin Yuanshu, but at himself. "Sigh! I was just worried and confused. I followed the Minister of Health's line of thinking. You're right, there's nothing to worry about. I asked the Minister of Health to have more confidence in me, but I can't have the same confidence in you."
Lin Yuanshu smiled and said, "Perhaps you can start to have more faith in me from now on. I have never let you down, have I?"
Director Huang nodded and said solemnly, "I wish you a safe journey."
Lin Yuanshu gave a bright smile. "I will."
Fortunately, this matter was clarified before she left Beijing. If she had waited until she left Beijing with Director Cao, it would have been too late. She wouldn't have been able to explain it to Director Huang in person.
This incident will definitely cause Director Huang and the Minister of Health to lose trust in her, and she may be called back to Beijing ahead of schedule.
What was originally a good opportunity turned into a situation where she was unhappy, and Director Huang and the Minister of Health were also unhappy.
Trust, once lost, is very difficult to rebuild.
Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.
While having lunch in the cafeteria, Hong Shuang overheard her colleagues talking about Lin Yuanshu.
She couldn't help but show a sad expression and said to Fang Ren beside her, "I thought Comrade Lin Yuanshu's next move would be to take charge of a new project team! I didn't expect her to go to the epidemic area. It seems that my hopes have been dashed. I won't be able to continue to cooperate with Comrade Lin Yuanshu for a while."
She didn't intentionally sit down to eat with Fang Ren; it was just a coincidence that there happened to be a seat available, and Fang Ren happened to be sitting next to her.
Fang Ren raised an eyebrow and kindly reminded him, "I think all the team leaders in the research institute are pretty good. It doesn't matter who you cooperate with. You'd better adjust your mindset, or you'll end up hurting yourself."
Hong Shuang'er paused for a moment, then gave a fake smile. "You're right."
She simply enjoyed working with Lin Yuanshu; she didn't have to think about anything, just complete the tasks assigned by Lin Yuanshu, and there wasn't much infighting within the team.
Fang Ren didn't care about Hong Shuang'er's thoughts. He said solemnly, "Instead of thinking about this and that, we should think about how to complete the project task. Comrade Lin Yuanshu has gotten such a good opportunity. She is climbing up the ranks, and we can't fall too far behind."
"You're frighteningly rational," Hong Shuang'er said from the bottom of her heart.
Fang Ren smiled and said proudly, "This is one of my few strengths."
After talking with Fang Ren, Hong Shuang'er lost her appetite. She ate a few bites hastily and returned to the lab to continue working. Although some of Fang Ren's words were harsh, they weren't entirely without merit.
If she can't climb the ladder, she won't even have the chance to cooperate with Lin Yuanshu. After all, the research institute is never short of smart people, and Lin Yuanshu will never lack people who want to curry favor with her.
