"Teacher, you're always welcome." Zhong Yuxiu laughed. "Then I won't come to the institute tomorrow. Let them get familiar with the institute first. We'll talk after I come back."
"That's fine." Principal Xu nodded slightly.
Zhong Yuxiu said with a smile, "Teacher, why don't you ask me whether it's a boy or a girl?"
"I've heard it's that boy. You're a good child. Once you have one, you should raise him well. However, you'll have troubles in the future. One boy is annoying and naughty. With three at once, your family will have a lot of fun in the future."
He has a deep understanding of the hardships of raising a child.
"It's okay. I gave birth, but I have few opportunities to see her because I go out to work every day. Most of the time, Rushan and Grandpa are looking after her, and I just take a look at her when I go to and from get off work." Why did I suddenly feel a little relieved that I agreed to manage the research institute?
It is indeed distressing when children cry, but fortunately her three children are well-behaved and don’t like to cry. If they are well-educated when they grow up, they probably won’t be crybabies anymore.
Principal Xu chuckled, "You're thinking too well. They're still young now. You won't understand the bitterness of this until they're a year or two older."
"That will be a year or two later. It's too early to think about it now." I am not afraid of children. I still remember that many people in later generations did not want children because they did not like children crying or were afraid of taking care of children. They would rather be DINKs.
The two old people shook their heads and laughed. People who have never raised a child really don’t know how hard it is to raise a child.
They chatted for a long time until Gu Lingguo knocked on the door and reported.
"Comrade Zhong, fellow researchers have chosen their office locations."
"I'll be right there." After saying that, he turned his gaze towards Principal Xu and the other two, "Teacher, Professor Nian, shall we go out?"
"Walking."
President Xu and Professor Nian walked out of the office with Zhong Yuxiu. Twenty young and middle-aged compatriots were standing outside. The gap between men and women was quite large, and only two women were admitted.
As they left the office, the people waiting in the corridor fell silent.
Facing a pair of eyes with different expressions, Zhong Yuxiu remained calm and did what she was supposed to do.
"You have all defeated so many of your peers to stand here and enter the institute. However, not all of you will be able to stay. The probation period is three months. During these three months, anyone who violates the rules I set, speaks or acts in a way that is detrimental to the institute, is careless or lax in their work, or even has flawed character will not be allowed to stay."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions varied. Some had stern faces, some showed no emotion, and some looked panicked.
Zhong Yuxiu took a quick look and understood what was going on. She said, "In addition to what has been said above, some people will be eliminated in the first three months. Those who can't keep up with the subsequent training will also be eliminated. The Medical Research Institute is a national medical research institute, a medical research institute for the people. Therefore, no one will be left to eat for free."
"Those of you who feel you are not good enough should work hard on your own. I hope you can stay at the institute in the end."
"That's all I have to say. Now, let Comrade Gu show you around the institute." Zhong Yuxiu turned to Gu Lingguo and said, "Comrade Gu, I'm sorry to bother you. Please show them around the institute's cafeteria and laboratories."
Gu Lingguo saluted and responded, "Everyone, please follow me."
A group of people followed Gu Lingguo and walked away in twos and threes.
After the crowd dispersed, Zhong Yuxiu turned back and was about to continue talking to Principal Xu when she saw Fang Guozhong approaching. "Comrade Zhong, look over there, Comrade Xi Nian is coming."
"Xi Nian?" Following Fang Guozhong's gaze, she saw it was indeed Xi Nian and his guards, walking hurriedly, looking like they were in a hurry. When they approached, she spoke, "Comrade Xi Nian, why are you here?"
Xi Nian said, "I'm here to send you some help."
"manpower?"
"Of course it's the staff of the research institute. Logistics, canteen, finance, sanitation, all of these need people to do it." Can we still count on these researchers to do it?
Zhong Yuxiu understood. "Thank you for your help. It's perfect. I was still thinking about how to handle the onboarding process. Since you've brought people here, I'll assign them to their respective positions and start working today."
"Okay, then do you want to meet them?"
"No need to meet for now, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Xi Nian looked at the guards who had followed him and said, "Go and take them to their respective posts and start working. The researchers have already started work, and the people in charge of the cafeteria should go out and buy food quickly and prepare the meals early."
"Understood." One of the guards turned and left.
Seeing this, Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "Comrade Xi, it's all thanks to you."
"It's what I should do, and I wasn't careful enough before. Today, the superiors asked me about it, and I just remembered all this. I didn't know if you had made any arrangements, and I was afraid you were in a hurry to hire someone, so I rashly brought someone here. I'm lucky you don't blame me."
"You're so polite! Comrade Xi has solved my worries. How can I blame you?"
The two looked at each other and smiled. After all, they had been in contact for a few years and were familiar with each other. The more polite words they spoke, the more confusing they felt.
"Comrade Xi Nian, come here, let me introduce you." Zhong Yuxiu extended her left hand slightly. "This is my teacher, the president of the Medical University. My medical skills have improved so rapidly, thanks to your guidance."
Xi Nian smiled and bowed gently. "Hello, President Xu. I've long heard of you. Comrade Zhong's achievements have astonished many people. I've always wanted to meet you. You've trained a highly skilled and advanced medical talent for our country."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Principal Xu narrowed his eyes and said modestly, "It's not me who taught her, it's her cleverness. Otherwise, of all the students I've brought out, only she could surpass me."
"You are right, but it is only with the help of a famous teacher like you that Comrade Zhong can become an apprentice." Xi Nian respects talents from all walks of life, let alone Zhong Yuxiu's teacher.
"No, no, I'm just lucky to have met Yuxiu."
They chatted back and forth for a while, and Professor Nian watched with a smile on his face. Old Xu hadn't laughed so happily in years, and his smile was mixed with pride, pride, relief and satisfaction.
Betrayed by his students' families and sent to the countryside, Principal Xu was disheartened and had great dissatisfaction and resentment towards this society. Looking back now, the past is like smoke and not worth revisiting.
"Teacher, let's sit down and talk inside?" Seeing that they had stopped for a while, Zhong Yuxiu interrupted at the right time.
Principal Xu nodded happily and said, "We won't take a ride. You're busy here, so Lao Nian and I will go back first. The car is still waiting outside, so it's convenient for us to go back."
Transportation in Zhongguancun is inconvenient. If you don’t take a bus back, you may have to walk a long way to get to the bus stop.
"teacher......."
"I'm going to see my grand-disciple tomorrow. By the way!" Principal Xu smiled and waved his hand.
Professor Nian said goodbye to the two of them and left with Principal Xu.
