Chu Yu didn't think this idea was wrong.
But now that the market economy is coming, Wang Cainian is not being valued at the university. The school's funding is going to more valuable project groups, and Wang Cainian can't get any money to do research.
Her students lived a life of drinking cold boiled water, eating pickled vegetables, and steamed buns.
Even if her students have the grandest ideals, they still need to make a living, don't they?
"Professor Wang, instead of wasting your time at university, why not go to Mandarin? I'll give you the best labs and the most modern equipment. You can use computers to assist your research and have the same equipment as advanced labs abroad. I'll provide you with a substantial annual grant for your projects. I'll respect you, treat you well, and provide you with houses, cars, and money. Liu Mingchuan's students all received houses before, but they thought maintaining cars was too expensive, so they asked me to cash out their cars. With the bonuses from their companies, each of them received over 200,000 yuan in bonuses. Professor Wang, I don't need to say more; you should know what that means, right?"
These days, 200,000 yuan is enough to buy several houses, all in the best locations in Beijing.
Wang Cai Nian may not be tempted, but why should her students stay and suffer with her?
Lan Mulan hadn't expected Chu Yu's offer to be so tempting. She looked at Wang Cainian with hope, "Teacher, let's go together. Even if you develop recombinant collagen, the school won't value your research. You'll still be unknown at school. It's better to go to Mandarin, apply our research results to skincare products, and use the Mandarin brand to go international and benefit more users."
Lan Mulan's words touched Wang Cainian to some extent.
But she always felt that leaving was a betrayal, a betrayal not only of the school, but also of the beliefs she held in her youth.
"Let me... think about it some more!" Wang Cainian said with difficulty.
“No problem, Professor Wang,” Chu Yu said, the May breeze carrying the warmth of spring, her skirt billowing in the wind, radiating a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. “Leaving doesn’t mean betrayal, but a new beginning. The country is currently undergoing reforms, with both market and planned economies coexisting. Prices in China will be marketized, leading to a high inflation rate. Your current income and subsidies are barely enough to support you, but in the next few years, with wages stagnating and prices skyrocketing, you’ll struggle to support yourself, let alone receive subsidies.”
Chu Yu spoke with exceptional sincerity, saying that if an experienced professor like Wang Cainian could join Mandarin, it would surely bring vitality to Mandarin.
Lan Mulan is a good student, but if she wants to become a pillar of the project team, she will need to hone her skills for at least five to ten years.
Chu Yu doesn't have that much time to wait.
"Okay, I will definitely consider it seriously!" This time, Wang Cainian seemed to have figured it out, and her speech became much more fluent.
Chu Yu was extremely busy, and Chu Xiang wasn't idle either. She was a sophomore this year, and her studies weren't too demanding. However, Chu Yu had been commissioning her to write articles in order to help her establish her position in the screenwriting circle.
Besides writing her book, Chu Xiang also had to participate in the production of "Ancient and Mischievous Jianghu 4", keeping her so busy that she didn't even have time to catch her breath.
"Chu Xiang, have you heard? That junior sister is going to participate in the Hua Lai Company's actor audition."
"What?" Chu Xiang frowned. Hua Lai was her sister's company. If she asked her sister, her sister would definitely fire the junior apprentice. But she couldn't interfere with her sister's work.
What was she thinking?
"What can you think? They say her family has connections in Wallace, and if they put in a good word for her, Wallace will want her. She's beautiful and comes from a good family. If she becomes famous, she'll have money and fame, and doing anything will be easy! She also said she's going to have a birthday party in Yorkham, and someone's going to propose to her then."
Chu Xiang no longer likes him, so whether he proposes or not is none of her business.
She just felt it was unlucky, and of all places, she had to go to Yorkham.
Why does she have to join Hualai of all sorts of activities?
The other shareholders of Hualai don't care about anything; it's always been Chu Yu who makes the decisions. Chu Xiang couldn't imagine what kind of connections her junior sister could have in Hualai, that she could just take her whenever she wanted.
As soon as she got home, she saw Luo Kangcheng pushing his bicycle and parking it at the door.
"Uncle Luo? What brings you here?"
Luo Kangcheng was a little embarrassed, but fortunately he was no longer a naive young man, so Chu Xiang wouldn't notice.
"Chu Xiang, I'm looking for Shu Hui, but she's not home?"
Chu Xiang laughed teasingly, "You're looking for my mom? She's probably strolling by the lake right now. Why don't you go out and look for her? You might just bump into her."
