Chapter 336 They are all related households!
"Why did you take down this notice?" Lou Shanchuan asked.
Su Mei handed the paper over to Lou Shanchuan and said, "The notice was made with paste, and the paste hasn't dried yet. If it had been posted for more than ten days, it wouldn't be like this."
"You mean, someone tore off the notice and pasted it back on when you came to take the elevator?" Lou Shanchuan asked, holding the torn paper.
The evidence was obvious, and Su Mei did not hide it. She nodded directly: "I have never taken an elevator before, so the first time I took it, I looked carefully at how big this elevator was.
If there had been a notice with such large letters at that time, I would definitely have been able to see it.
There were also traces of freshly torn papers on the elevator, and there was wet paste on the peeled papers, which was enough to show that someone was playing tricks!"
"Who would do this?" Lou Shanchuan's expression immediately became serious.
There was no surveillance in that era, so Su Mei naturally didn't know who did it. As for the person who brought her here, he was not from the Medical Research Institute at all.
Su Mei didn't suspect that the man had any problems. Even if he did, he could distance himself from the matter by simply saying that he was not an insider and didn't know that the elevator was faulty.
Su Mei didn't know who did it, she just said: "I am only 24 years old, and I have become the dean of the Medical Research Institute. I am sure there are many people who are dissatisfied with me and want to show off their power to me.
Besides, when my master was still alive, he offended many people, so I can’t identify who is the suspect, but I am sure that someone is behind this.”
"Should we call the police?" Yue Qingshan asked.
In this case, calling the police is useless. It will only make everyone know about it and give others more bargaining chips. Su Mei thought it was better not to do it: "Just wait! Someone with bad intentions will not just do it this time. There will be a time when he will show his true colors."
There was no point in saying more now, so Su Mei simply turned the page and skipped over the topic.
"Professors, are you all here to see me? Is there anything you want to say?" Su Mei asked.
Lou Shanchuan, who was temporarily taking over the management of the Sumei Institute, took over the conversation and said, "It's like this, you haven't been to the institute since you took over. We want to know what your plan is this time.
According to the original plan, your master wanted to wait until you graduated from university four years later and officially take over the position of Dean of the Graduate School at the age of 28.
But I think that now that you have time to come here, you can start to understand the various affairs of the institute.
By the way, I can also hold a meeting so that everyone in the hospital can get to know you, what do you think? "
“As for management, I have no plans to get involved at the moment. After all, I am young and it is not easy for me to obey the crowd. I still need to slowly find the opportunity.
But it is right to hold a meeting so that I can get to know the seniors in the hospital. After all, I will need your care in the future. "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Without meeting these people, how can Su Mei know which ones are troublemakers and which ones are the most hostile?
Since she wanted to change the ecological environment of the institute, she must first get to know the people there personally.
After hearing what Su Mei said, Lou Shanchuan asked, "So when do you plan to hold this meeting?"
"It's better to hold the meeting today than to wait for another day!" Su Mei originally wanted to hold the meeting tomorrow, but she was afraid that holding it so abruptly would disrupt the professors' schedules.
But on second thought, we have to disrupt it.
That kind of hostility is very strong, and he will take this opportunity to find fault with her and get angry with her.
After hearing Su Mei's arrangement, Lou Shanchuan nodded and said, "Okay, I will go back to the office to find Xiao Tang and ask him to make the arrangements as soon as possible."
Xiao Tang is Lou Shanchuan's assistant. Every professor in the institute has an assistant.
Professors spend most of their time on research and development-related matters, and assistants help to handle some miscellaneous matters.
After Lou Shanchuan left, the remaining professors called Su Mei to go to the cafeteria to eat together.
After being sleepy for most of the day, Su Mei did nothing and it was time for lunch.
The cafeteria in the institute is very large. In addition to the twelve professors, there are also some other people doing research.
Seeing people coming and going in the cafeteria, Su Mei couldn't help but ask:
"Isn't it said that this medical research institute requires people to pass multiple tests before they are allowed to enter? Then why are there so many people inside?"
Su Mei thought that according to the institute's recruitment method, only a few people could pass the assessment every year, so it should be very quiet inside.
“Passing an assessment before entering the laboratory is an old tradition from many years ago.
Dong Tian changed this rule a few years ago. He felt that there was too little fresh blood in the research institute, so he changed the assessment system to a professor recommendation system.
For several years, research scholars could enter graduate school as long as they had a professor's recommendation.
The consequence of doing this is that the institute recruited a large number of people who have no skills at all.
Four years ago, due to financial difficulties in the hospital, the admission system based on assessment was restored.
Looking at such a large number of people, hum, there are only a few who have really achieved anything. Most of them are just idlers who eat the government's food."
So this is what it looks like.
Before coming here, Su Mei thought that graduate students were mysterious and high-class.
Only now did she realize that the internal management here was in disarray and that a lot of funds were spent on incompetent connections.
Although everyone knows that these people with connections are incompetent, it is still difficult to lay them off. Since they can get in here by relying on the identities of people with connections, they must have very strong connections behind them.
Moreover, there are quite a few related households. As long as Su Mei has the intention to touch them, these related households will become united.
People with backgrounds are tied together, and Su Mei has no chance of cutting them off.
This institute is a mess, with a bunch of parasites who got in through connections and are now receiving state salaries and resources.
No wonder Su Mei did not encounter much resistance when she took this position. Perhaps the people above her also realized that the research institute is now a piece of chicken ribs, and they are too lazy to spend more effort on managing it.
If this situation continues, the country's investment in scientific research will become less and less.
No wonder the truly talented scientific researchers of this era are treated mediocrely; it turns out there are these rubbish stealing their meals behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Su Mei couldn't help but ask: "Our Medical Research Institute recruits new people through assessment, but what about the Physics Research Institute and the Chemistry Research Institute? How do they recruit new people?"
“In the beginning, they used the assessment method like us. A few years later, they followed our example and used the recommendation mechanism. Finally, they returned to the assessment mechanism like us.
Several research institutes are the same, overcrowded, but those who are really capable..." Speaking of this, Yue Qingshan shook his head. It is difficult to describe these things in one sentence.
This situation is indeed frustrating.
Interpersonal relationships form a complex maze, and the network of relationships is like an impenetrable fortress.
Those parasites who receive a salary but make no contribution are like walking corpses.
However, the true wise men, whose talents are like meteors streaking through the night sky, are often rejected by this fortress and fail to receive the due appreciation and reuse.
This is the sadness of the times and the regret of talented people.
In fact, if Su Mei thought about it carefully, this kind of recommendation system was very common at that time.
For example, when a father retires, his son can directly take over his position.
This employment system where sons inherit their father's business can also be considered a type of recommendation system.
Including Su Mei taking over as dean, it was also because of her relationship with Qin Zhengting. She would not have been able to climb up on her own no matter how many years she tried.
It is not certain whether the successor is capable, but it is certain that there must be family connections.
This seemingly reasonable approach actually blocks the opportunities for those who are more suitable and capable to move up.
In the 1970s and 1980s, inheriting one's father's business was the most common employment feature of the era.
An era is naturally not something Su Mei can change.
But at least now she can get involved in the affairs of the institute.
The development of science is related to the future development of a country.
One should do one's job well. Since Su Mei promised her master that she would build a clean scientific palace, she will definitely do it.
While she was thinking, Su Mei had already lined up with several professors and reached the window to get her meals.
Just as she held out the plate, a woman suddenly came and squeezed in front of Su Mei, pushing Su Mei's plate to the ground.
The dinner plate hit the ground with a loud clatter.
The woman in front seemed not to notice. She got her meal, turned around and was about to leave.
Not only did she cut in line, she also didn't apologize for squeezing other people. Su Mei frowned, stared at the woman's back and shouted:
"stop!"
