Chapter 922 Swallowed Their Department’s Money
"Maybe not...what does that mean?" Liu Gan asked, pinching his knees tightly with his fingers. It took him a long time to regain his thoughts.
A few days ago, when Director Qi came to him to help his students with auxiliary experiments, he used research funds to deliberately take advantage of him. So, he went back on his word and swallowed up the money from their department?
Zhao Lian’s expression wasn’t actually very good looking.
Some time ago, when Qi Hui wanted to borrow funds from Liu Gan's department, he did not agree and even reminded Qi Hui a few times. Unexpectedly, Qi Hui still mentioned the matter to Academician Liu.
In fact, more than one million research funds are not really a lot. They cannot even buy an ordinary research equipment, not to mention that the country invests billions of dollars in scientific research every year.
After collecting his thoughts, Zhao Lian said, "The academy said that the funds will not be allocated to your department for the time being. If you really need it, you can apply for it from above."
After hearing this, Liu Gan's veins on the back of his hand calmed down after a while. "Then we won't give you the research grant for this quarter?"
Zhao Lian pinched his brows, raised his head and looked at Liu Gan, "Sorry."
Zhao Lian is the highest-ranking professor in the Department of Biology and a senior researcher at the National Institute of Life Sciences. Apart from participating in scientific research, he usually doesn't even take care of students, and naturally he doesn't care about the institute's financial income and expenditure arrangements.
He had met Liu Gan several times and knew that the Information Science Department was not doing well these days, so he specifically sought him out to talk about it today.
Liu Gan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He should have thought of Director Qi's bold move earlier.
"I have a scientific research project that requires deep sequencing data analysis. You should have no problem with it. If there is a chance, you can expand it and develop new big data approaches." Zhao Lian straightened his face and got down to business.
Liu Gan didn't think about the funding issue for the time being, and asked in a daze: "Develop new big data channels?"
"Biological computers are widely used. Abroad, information big data is the mainstream era, and bionic technology is both a cutting-edge and a research trend." Zhao Lian said slowly.
Liu Gan raised his head in surprise and looked at Professor Zhao.
Zhao Lian stood up from his chair again, walked over to get a prepared document, then turned back and handed it to Liu Gan, "You can take this document back and take a look at it, and see what you think."
Liu Gan's eyes fell on the thing Professor Zhao handed over. After a two-second pause, he reached out to take it.
He opened the file bag and read only a little bit of the first page. He suddenly looked at Professor Zhao again, "You..."
Zhao Lian looked calm and said calmly, "Your department has been quiet for long enough. We need some fresh projects to stimulate it."
Once the project is successfully launched, the first thing to do is to get funding... Liu Gan suddenly understood why Professor Zhao had asked him to come over today and had specifically mentioned that the department had run out of funds.
Liu Gan clenched the information in his hand, then he stood up and bowed to Professor Zhao, "Professor Zhao, thank you."
For a senior professor who does not care about trivial matters in the department, questions like which department has funds and which department does not have funds actually have nothing to do with him.
Zhao Lian just waved his hand and said with a smile: "Come on."
Liu Gan hummed lightly and his eyes fell on the information in his hand again.
They have indeed been silent for long enough, so long that everyone thinks they are easy to bully.
Zhao Lian asked Liu Gan to sit down and talk again. Thinking of something, he said, "By the way, there is a new student named Huo Yao in your department this year. He is the top scorer in the liberal arts department. Do you know him?"
