Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 340: Chapter 226 I feel like I am a fool!_2

No one in this institute cares.

Whether people within the institute, including himself, believe in Zhao Yi or not, he has already been given the treatment he deserves. If he does well, it will be a successful ending. If he doesn’t, it’s equivalent to the institute investing in a genius.

Does it matter if a castrated project is dropped? Especially when it’s not coming out of your pocket?

The money is research funding. It’s meaningless to keep it in the institute. Even if Zhao Yi wastes it all on continuing the project, no one from above will say anything.

Because...

That’s Zhao Yi!

No one will question a report bearing Zhao Yi’s name.

Indeed.

Zhao Yi is not a regular researcher. Even for a regular researcher, squandering two or three million in research funding would certainly be questioned or held accountable by the authorities.

But Zhao Yi is different.

Who would hold a national treasure-level genius in mathematics and computer science accountable?

The same applies to the field of biomedical research.

Mathematics and computer science geniuses are undisputed talents in any field, even a priceless treasure.

Anyway, the research institute will undoubtedly greenlight Zhao Yi.

Currently, there are only a few kittens in Zhao Yi’s lab, just Zhang Wei and a intern about to turn official, and then there’s Ai Lixin. It seems natural.

Of course.

Yan Xuelin is aware that Dai Tianqing’s and Han Hui’s labs recognize the importance of the inhibitory factor project. He makes a suggestion, "How about this, I’ll have Dong Sheng’s lab put down their current project and join your research..."

"No!" freewebnøvel.coɱ

Dai Tianqing directly refuses.

Now it’s just him and Han Hui, two researchers, sharing the research results. The most will be Academician Zheng, who is just interested in helping. The inclusion of other researchers would mean sharing the credit.

He was originally entitled to half of the results, but in the end, he would only get a third.

In his office, Dai Tianqing talks with Yan Xuelin for a long time, and the final decision is to slot in a associate researcher from another department.

...

Leaving the director’s office, Dai Tianqing is still unsatisfied.

Ai Lixin is a great asset to the lab, not just anyone can replace him. If he put in a few more years and completed a large project on his own, he could be promoted to a full-time researcher. Ai Lixin’s abilities are nearly on par with his, all he lacks is the experience of completing a project.

When he returns to his office, Ai Lixin is still waiting there.

Dai Tianqing’s tone is much better now. He decides to play the sentimental card, "We’ve been working together for so many years, and you’re just going to leave suddenly..."

"Actually, I want to improve myself too!"

Ai Lixin had thought about how to explain it, "Old Dai, our research on Rheumatoid Arthritis last year, it wasn’t till two months ago that I completed a minor part."

"I thought the project could be completed, but we didn’t persist to the end. When we found no progress in the middle, coupled with other projects, we gave up."

"I was not satisfied."

"As the saying goes, you have to get up from where you fell. The reason why I want to go to Zhao Yi’s lab is because of this. I want to do research with them and continue this project. Even if it isn’t completed in the end, it’s still an outcome, by that time, I can let it go."

These words from Ai Lixin left Dai Tianqing speechless.

He has a point!

As a researcher, one must have the spirit of never giving up. He would also talk about this kind of work ethic when he occasionally went to schools to teach students.

That’s the basis of success!

Now Ai Lixin wants to go to Zhao Yi’s lab to complete the unfinished project, what’s wrong with that?

"Alright then!"

In the end, Dai Tianqing agrees.

When Ai Lixin packed a few files and left the lab with his tea cup and utensils, Dai Tianqing suddenly felt something was wrong.

Wasn’t that project his application?

During the course of the project, he was definitely in charge. Ai Lixin at most was a little helper, responsible for some experimental design and preparation. But no matter how much of a helper he is, he surely can’t surpass him, right?

And the application to terminate the project had no impact on Ai Lixin, but it did have an impact on him. Talking about getting up from where you fell...

Shouldn’t he be the one to stand up?

...

Ai Lixin’s joining is definitely good news for Zhao Yi’s lab.

In Dai Tianqing’s lab, Ai Lixin was just one of the associate researchers. But in Zhao Yi’s lab, he is the most experienced.

Zhao Yi knows a bit about Ai Lixin.

Ai Lixin is the type who is diligent and competent, with good ability and experience, but lacks creativity and imagination.

This type of person is exactly what Zhao Yi’s lab needs.

For creativity and imagination, Zhao Yi alone is already enough. Zhang Wei is also very capable when it comes to professional aspects like experiment design.

So Ai Lixin is the core ’work’ person.

To welcome Ai Lixin’s joining, Zhao Yi decided to let the lab take an afternoon off and have a meal together at a decent restaurant near the university.

"Family members are welcome to join!"

This sentence made Ai Lixin’s eyes light up with joy.

Out of the four, he’s the only one with family. The restaurant they have chosen is relatively high-end, something they wouldn’t normally visit. It’s nice to bring his wife and daughter along.

Meanwhile.

Dai Tianqing’s lab is busy working. Because the last large experiment yielded no results, everyone has to work overtime to do research. As they prepare for the next experiment, they also discuss Ai Lixin’s departure.
