After breakfast, when Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan packed up and left, Yan Guofeng had not returned yet.
The group went to Yan's house and took a car out of the compound. Outside the compound, Zhong Yuxiu did not want Yan Rushan to be too tired, so she strongly requested that the car stop.
Yan Rushan did not stop the car, but drove towards Zhongguancun and got off outside Zhongguancun.
They arrived first, and the newly recruited researchers arrived later. Because there were so many people, they took a truck. They were brought in by Professor Nian himself, and Principal Xu was also accompanying them.
"Teacher, long time no see. When did you come back?" Zhong Yuxiu greeted Principal Xu with a smile. "Professor Nian, thank you for your hard work. I've made you run around so much."
"It's not hard, it's what I should do." Professor Nian smiled faintly and nodded.
Principal Xu smiled, looking at her with satisfaction. "I rushed back last night. You look rosy and rosy, and you're doing very well."
"Teacher, you're right. Two months of confinement isn't the best way to stay healthy!" Speaking of this, Principal Xu chuckled, filled with resentment. "Don't be ungrateful. For some people, even a double confinement is a luxury."
Zhong Yuxiu's brows slightly frowned, then relaxed in an instant. "Teacher, let's get down to business first, and we'll talk to you in detail later. I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and I see that you are in much better health."
"I used the repair fluid and now I drink it once every two weeks." After drinking the repair fluid for a long time, the hidden injuries in the body were smoothed out but not cured.
Zhong Yuxiu understood what was going on. She led Professor Nian and President Xu into the research institute. She led them into the office area and said, "Two people will share an office. You can assign them one first. I won't assign one to you the first time. If you find one that you're compatible with, you can discuss it among yourselves."
"Yes." The researcher who was sent here looked excited.
"Go ahead."
The crowd dispersed, leaving behind Zhong Yuxiu, two bodyguards, Principal Xu and Professor Nian.
Zhong Yuxiu said, "Teacher, Professor Nian, please come in. This is my temporary office; it is also a place for meeting guests." She pointed to the nearest office, which was behind Zhong Yuxiu.
Gu Lingguo and Fang Guozhong opened the office and invited people in, and they both stood guard at the door.
The temporary office was simply furnished with tables and chairs for entertaining guests, a sofa and a filing cabinet; and a large desk. That was basically it. The room was quite clean.
Principal Xu asked, "This is just your temporary office. Which location would you like to choose as your official office?"
"It's next to the lab, right? I noticed it the last time I was here. There's a lab next to an office on the top floor of the building. It's quite large. If we arrange it well, we can open up the inside and seal off the outside, and it can be used as a rest area."
"That's good." He just asked.
Professor Nian said, "Professor Zhong, the school semester is almost over. Will you still come to the school to teach?"
Zhong Yuxiu subconsciously glanced at the teacher, earning a roll of the eyes from Principal Xu. "Why are you looking at me? Come if you want to, and it's okay if you don't want to. You really do have a lot to do. It's just that the position at Chengxi First Hospital is a shame. I've already discussed it with Dean Zhang, and you'll take over. If you leave, it won't be as convenient to come back later."
He is preparing to retire, and when he leaves, his network of contacts will naturally disperse.
"That's it for now. I do have a lot of things on my hands. I'll talk about other things when I have free time. What do you think, teacher?" No matter what, the teacher's opinion must be listened to.
Principal Xu nodded. "It's up to you. I've already applied for retirement from the West City First Hospital, and I need to apply for it at the school as well. Since I'm no longer working at the school, it doesn't matter whether you come or not."
He can't keep an eye on his little apprentice every day.
"That's what you said. If it's your turn, I won't go. The affairs of the research institute haven't been sorted out yet. It will be difficult to do other things in a short period of time." She was aware of this. The twenty people she recruited were not fixed. If they did something wrong in the first three months, or violated the rules she set, they would naturally have to be sent away.
As for the remaining people, she will devote herself to cultivating them and strive to make each of them capable of standing on their own.
During the assessment, she paid attention to these twenty people. Some of them were impetuous but had solid skills; some had less solid skills but were more stable, and all needed to be polished.
"Just take care of this." Principal Xu was easy to persuade. "The Medical Research Institute is related to the national output of pharmaceuticals, not just the institute's business. In the past few years, the Medical Research Institute has been just copying others' ideas and hasn't achieved any outstanding results. Now that you've taken over, you must make some achievements."
Professor Nian nodded and agreed, "Old Xu is right. I can put my teaching job at the school on hold, but I can't delay my work at the research institute. However, once you leave, the Medical University will lose another professor."
"What's missing? My apprentice is still enrolled at the Medical University, so what? He can go back whenever he wants. Maybe he can even teach the students a lesson." Principal Xu said with a grim expression, "If I leave, will my apprentice no longer be enrolled at the Medical University?"
"That's not possible." Professor Nian shook his head. "It's not impossible to just be a figurehead without doing any work; it's just that you won't get paid."
Principal Xu scoffed, "My apprentice is short of that little salary? How can the salary at the research institute be less than hers?"
The institute is under state control and has good benefits. As far as he is concerned, the researchers used to earn more than 200 yuan a month, not including other benefits, and the director's salary is even higher.
How much is the salary at medical university?
He used to arrange a class for his apprentice, and earned a few cents; plus the basic salary, it was only about ten yuan a month. Who cares about this salary?
To put it bluntly, he works at a medical university, firstly, because his apprentices are considerate of him as a teacher; secondly, it is to repay the school for the education it has given him. His apprentices are very capable and can live well without relying on salary. Maybe they can live more comfortably without going to work.
Professor Nian didn't know any of this, he just thought that President Xu was right; the benefits for researchers were indeed good, and if he were thirty years younger, he would also like to compete.
"I was mistaken."
Principal Xu said, "I know you're thinking about Yuxiu, but I really have to retire when I get back. I'm already old, and I need to have a few days of leisure."
Professor Nian chuckled, nodded at him a few times, and said jokingly, "Then I should retire too."
The two are about the same age, so it's not wrong for Professor Nian to joke like that.
"You're in good health and can still work for a few more years. I pretty much ruined my body when I went to the countryside a few years ago." Principal Xu said proudly, "I haven't seen much improvement in the past few years since I came back. It's only after taking the repair fluid that I've felt better."
Professor Nian nodded and said, "The repair fluid is indeed a good thing. I am taking it too."
"Drink it. Live one more day, and it's a better life."
The two elders were heartbroken when they heard this. Zhong Yuxiu touched her fingers silently and said, "Teacher, please come to my house when you have time. The child is born and you haven't seen him yet."
"It's time to go check it out. I'll go tomorrow. I'll finish their onboarding today and I'll have dinner with you tomorrow."
