Chapter 387 Can you listen to me finish my words?
"President Su, why are you in such a hurry to hold a meeting? Do you have something to say?" Lu Aoxiong asked.
Lu Aoxiong was not late for this meeting.
Others also arrived at the meeting room on time.
Perhaps he also realized that Su Mei, a female student who had not graduated from university, was not a simple person.
After all, they were taken away by the Security Bureau, and not many of them could come back unscathed so quickly.
The entire hall was filled with people. The twelve professors sat in the front row. Only Su Mei stood on the podium, facing everyone present.
Lu Xu stood beside Su Mei, waiting for Su Mei's instructions at any time.
Su Mei adjusted the microphone, tapped a few times, and after making sure there was sound, she said, "All the researchers in our institute who have made practical contributions to the institute should be here.
I believe all professors know what happened to me during this period.
I was framed. It was my assistant Gao Yu who did it. The evidence is solid and she has been arrested.
It was Gao Yu's case that made me realize that there is a group of people in our institute who do nothing and make no contribution to the institute, but they receive salaries and ride around in the institute, and they are termites that eat away at the foundations of the institute.
Such a parasite has no meaning other than adding burden to the operation of the institute."
After hearing Su Mei's words, the professors in the audience immediately started whispering to each other and making a lot of noise.
When the recommendation system was implemented a few years ago, most of the professors here recommended one or two people.
Among the people recommended, there are few capable ones, but there are a lot of wastes.
This waste costs a lot of money every year, but plays almost no role in the research institute.
The total number of these people is at least over three hundred.
They were hired and cannot be fired without reason.
Those who can enter graduate school through recommendation can be said to have a wealthy or noble background.
It is not easy to arrange for so many people to be laid off at the same time.
If not handled properly, it will offend many powerful people, so no one is willing to deal with this obvious drawback.
Su Mei had never found an opportunity to deal with this matter before.
If it weren't for Gao Yu, Su Mei would not have had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and take action against this group in the research institute.
Since she brought it up, Lou Shanchuan thought she must have thought of a way to deal with it, so he immediately asked, "President Su, are you planning to relocate these people? What do you think?"
"I do have an idea." Su Mei nodded. Although she had not discussed it with Lou Shanchuan in advance, she knew that Lou Shanchuan would definitely agree with her, "The country gives us research funds so that we can do research to benefit the people and accelerate the country's economic development.
We cannot use the money given by the state to support a bunch of parasites. The money should be spent on research and scientific development. We must get rid of these parasites."
"So how does Dean Su plan to clean it up?" Lu Aoxiong crossed his arms and looked at Su Mei sarcastically, "Does Dean Su know about these termites you mentioned? Does he know their identities and status?"
"What Professor Lu means is that the research institute is a place for status and position, not a place for scientific research?" Su Mei asked Lu Aoxiong.
Hearing the counter-question, Lu Aoxiong sneered: "President Su, you can try to see if your status is enough for you to discipline these people and make them resign."
Resign? "I didn't say that they should resign. Since they are recognized and recommended by the professors, the professors should take the researchers who have no research results and lack experience back to their own laboratories."
"Take it back to the laboratory, what does this mean?" Lou Shanchuan asked. He took over the conversation deliberately, just to guide Su Mei to continue talking nonsense.
Su Mei understood: "Why did Gao Yu become my personal assistant? Because she lacks ability. This shows that people without ability can only start as assistants.
Since the professors have recommended people, they must recognize their abilities. If they do, it is reasonable for them to keep them around.
We have more than 80 professors in total, and each professor is equipped with three, four or five assistants to help you do your work better. Isn't this just the solution to the problem of where to put these people? "
"What kind of solution is this?" Lu Aoxiong laughed again.
"They no longer do research and become assistants. Assistant salaries are no less than those of ordinary researchers. This arrangement not only fails to reduce the salary expenditure of the research institute, but also adds a bunch of useless people to the professors.
Dean Su called all of us here just to tell you about your stupid idea. Is that funny?"
"Since they are professors' assistants, it is natural that the professors themselves pay their salaries. They help the professors with work, so why should the research institute pay their salaries?" Su Mei looked at Lu Aoxiong with confusion.
This short sentence was like a thunderbolt thrown out of nowhere in the hall.
Everyone was excited by Su Mei's remarks.
Lou Shanchuan looked at Su Mei with disapproval and shook his head. This behavior of touching everyone's cake would not succeed and would also cause public anger.
Seeing Lou Shanchuan's eyes, Su Mei smiled at him calmly, but she hadn't finished speaking yet!
These people will definitely agree.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment." Su Mei coughed twice lightly into the microphone.
The people in the hall suddenly quieted down.
But before she could say anything, someone couldn't hold back and interrupted Su Mei: "President Su, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to ask us to pay so many people.
We didn’t propose this system, so why should we sacrifice our own interests to pay for the institute’s past wrong decisions?”
Lou Shanchuan turned around and glanced at the professor who was speaking.
The professor was a celebrity in the graduate school. He recommended seven nephews and nieces to enter the graduate school. His hair turned white just to pave the way for these nephews and nieces, and wrote their papers for admission to the graduate school.
He used what he had learned from his life-long research to ensure that his entire family had a stable job.
If he hadn't used those researches to support the younger generation, he might have become one of the twelve senior professors now...
Now telling him that the person he has worked so hard to raise has to pay his own wages, wouldn't that be a threat to his life?
Not surprisingly, he was the first to stand up and oppose.
Although the situation of others was not as serious as his, they had also recommended people to a certain extent. When they heard that someone had come forward, they also expressed their dissatisfaction.
There are only a few people like Lou Shanchuan who only recommend suitable people or simply don't recommend anyone.
Soon the conference hall became a mess again.
"Be quiet for a moment, don't be impatient." Su Mei cleared her throat. She would not do anything without confidence: "Can everyone listen to me to the end of my words?"
