Li Shaozhong would leave early and return late every day to visit the researchers and veteran experts he had learned about, hoping to persuade them to join him in Haizhou. If he could recruit more talented people in Kyoto, this trip to Kyoto would be a huge success.
Li Shaozhong not only contacts researchers at the institute, but also recruits talent from various universities.
Maybe Li Shaozhong alone is not that famous, but when combined with Ye Shuning, they have considerable appeal.
Many university leaders know the names of Li Shaozhong and his wife, and some are even interested in their research institute.
Some school leaders even wanted to persuade Li Shaozhong and his wife to set up some research projects in the school so that the school could cooperate with Li Shaozhong and his Qixing Laboratory to conduct research.
While universities have limited research funding, Li Shaozhong and his wife own several factories, each of which is a money-making machine with huge profits. This means that Qixing Laboratory will never lack research funds.
Li Shaozhong also thinks that this form of cooperation is worth discussing.
Shen Congzhi is a researcher at the 231 Research Institute. He previously majored in physics and also minored in mechanics. The research project he was involved in has been discontinued, and the 231 Research Institute is facing dissolution. This means he faces unemployment or a job change. A job change would mean he would no longer be able to pursue his beloved research career.
Changing jobs is a good thing. If things were any worse, he would probably lose his job.
Shen Congzhi's parents were university professors, both of whom have passed away, and he had only been working for two years. Shen Congzhi's wife had been in poor health, requiring medication and unable to work. Their two children were both teenagers and in school. The financial burden of the family fell on Shen Congzhi's shoulders. If he lost his job, he couldn't imagine how the family would survive.
There was nothing to do at work these days, so Shen Congzhi stayed at home.
Shen Congzhi's wife Jiang Hanyue saw her husband bringing the boiled medicine to her, sighed and said, "Old Shen, don't take this medicine in the future. Your current job is still undecided, so we have to save some money."
Shen Congzhi sat next to his wife and said, "Don't worry, if I lose my job here, I will find another one. You can't stop taking your medicine, take it well."
Jiang Hanyue couldn't bear to see her husband in trouble, so she took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp.
After taking a few sips of water, she said, "My broken body can't contribute anything to this family. I'll only be a burden to you. The children are still in school, and there will be many expenses in the future. My medicine costs half of your salary every month, and it won't cure me anyway, so it's not worth it. I think I should stop taking the medicine. I've let it go a long time ago and I'll just leave it to fate. I don't want this family to be bankrupt because of me."
Shen Congzhi held his wife's hand and said, "When I was in trouble, you didn't leave me and never left me. You followed me and suffered so much, otherwise you would have ruined your body. We persevered before, isn't it much better now? We should not give up.
Besides, we are not at the end of our rope yet. My child and I cannot live without you, so you have to persevere for our sake.”
As he spoke, Shen Congzhi's throat choked with sobs and he could no longer speak. His wife had suffered for him for so many years and had always been by his side. If it weren't for his wife's unwavering companionship and support during those years, he might have collapsed long ago.
His wife's health had also been damaged by the harsh environment. Over the years, she had become his spiritual support. Even if she did nothing, just being by his side gave him motivation. No matter what, he would keep her.
Li Shaozhong had already visited several researchers at the 231 Institute, and many were unwilling to leave their stable jobs and work in Haizhou. However, two researchers were very interested in Li Shaozhong's Qixing Laboratory and promised to consider it and give him a response in a few days.
Li Shaozhong found out about a researcher whose family was in financial difficulty, and he thought that perhaps their high salary could impress him.
So Li Shaozhong brought Zhang Hanwu to visit in person.
Shen Congzhi heard someone knocking on the door and got up to open it. He was surprised to see two young men standing outside.
Li Shaozhong asked, "Excuse me, is this the home of Researcher Shen Congzhi?"
When Shen Congzhi heard that they were looking for him, he said, "It's me. What can I do for you?"
When Li Shaozhong heard that the well-mannered middle-aged man with glasses in front of him was Shen Congzhi, he immediately said, "Hello, Comrade Shen, I am Li Shaozhong, the head of Qixing Laboratory. I am very sorry to come to visit you this time. I wonder if you have time to chat?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Congzhi invited Li Shaozhong and the others into the house.
After several people sat down as host and guest, Li Shaozhong said, "Comrade Shen, my wife Ye Shuning and I have built a large comprehensive laboratory in Haizhou, engaged in various research, and currently need a large number of professional researchers. I heard that you majored in physics and also have knowledge of mechanics. So I took the liberty of coming to your house this time to invite you to work in our laboratory.
Our lab offers excellent benefits. Not only are the salaries high, but we also provide housing. If you come to us, you'll get a new, two-bedroom apartment. The salary is double what you'd earn at the 231 Institute.
We also identify and utilize people wisely, ensuring everyone can leverage their strengths. Those with outstanding abilities can be promoted to team leaders or project leaders. Although we are a private lab, we also create opportunities for everyone to develop.
Shen Congzhi was very tempted when Li Shaozhong said that he would be given a house and double his current salary. If his salary doubled, his wife could continue to take medicine and the family would not have to be so stretched.
Besides, Haizhou was a very nice city, no worse than Kyoto. He didn't have any other relatives in Kyoto, so it wouldn't matter if they went to Haizhou. As long as they were together as a family, that was all that mattered.
Shen Congzhi said, "Comrade Li, could you briefly introduce your laboratory?"
Li Shaozhong heard this and saw that Researcher Shen seemed to be persuaded. He immediately gave an overview of the Qixing Laboratory, highlighting some of the laboratory's conditions and advanced equipment.
You must know that if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. With advanced instruments and equipment, you will get twice the result with half the effort when doing experiments.
Shen Congzhi was attracted by what Li Shaozhong said. If there were really so many advanced instruments and equipment as Li Shaozhong said, it would be a blessing for scientific researchers.
Shen Congzhi turned his head and looked at his pale wife. If their financial conditions were better, he could give his wife better medicine and his wife's health would be better.
He had been at home for several days, not knowing if the institute would still pay him his full salary. He also didn't know if he would lose his job. Shen Congzhi decided to take a gamble, perhaps earning a better future for his family.
