Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 716: Chapter 394: Genius, Is Luck Also Good?

The report ended.

Yan Xuelin reviewed it with a smile on his face, "Fan Lei, that little guy, is really something. He has the potential to be a PR spokesperson!"

"What he said wasn’t bad at all; the content also felt very truthful." Dai Tianqing commented.

"Yes, it’s good."

Li Ming nodded humbly, realizing that he had previously misspoke.

Chen Zhigang said, "Yes, it was good, much better than what I would have said. I’ve never had that much experience with interviews and I have no idea how to handle the press." He then suggested, "I think that our institute should establish a dedicated publicity department. This department would handle fundraising and negotiations with collaborators, among other things. As our institute continues to grow, we’ll definitely need to deal with these matters more and more."

Yan Xuelin pondered this suggestion and nodded in approval, "Zhigang makes a good point." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

He added, "I was thinking along the same lines."

Li Ming asked curiously, "You two were thinking the same thing? Then why didn’t you say anything before?"

"Ahem!"

Yan Xuelin coughed so hard he nearly choked. He was starting to understand why Li Ming was not very popular in the institute.

Previously, he just thought it was due to Li Ming’s multiple roles as an in-house nurse, surgeon, and anatomist, which might have intimidated the others. Now, he realized the real reason.

This chap probably spoke before thinking, bluntly asking anything that came to his mind.

Dai Tianqing withheld a laugh and moved the conversation along, "Indeed, we have never considered this before. We have been handling funding and conducting business meetings ourselves. If there is a dedicated department, things will definitely be much easier."

Yan Xuelin said, "Creating a new department would require an application, but we can hire external recruits. Fan Lei is a good choice, although we don’t need too many people currently. Those who can’t do research might try their hand at it. If we really need to establish a new department, let’s wait until the medical center is built." ƒгeewebnovёl.com

He was referring to researchers and associate researchers who lacked development ability.

While the Biomedical Research Institute, being a state-funded research institute, had quite a number of researchers, only a few were key members. Others have not been producing valuable results, only ever publishing insignificant findings every blue moon, and completing their research tasks rather slowly.

These people could be called ’research loafers’.

Since they are part of the system, not hired by the institute, it was difficult to dismiss these ’research loafers’. Those who really fell into this category could be moved to other departments or sent to retirement units to fill the seats. However, some researchers were not loafers; they struggled to conduct research but their capabilities were simply not up to par.

You couldn’t necessarily call these people ’burdens’ for the institute, but being a research institute, it was supposed to produce results. So they did have an element of ’loafers’ to them.

What Yan Xuelin referred to were under-performing researchers who could also moonlight in other jobs. This could range from fundraising, publicity, and even logistics-related work that the research institute lacked personnel in.

Dai Tianqing agreed, "Indeed, we don’t need many people right now, but once the medical center is built and our institute grows, we must start working on logistics and publicity."

The group discussed matters about logistics and publicity.

Yan Xuelin then steered the topic towards the impact of their latest findings. They talked about their daily life, "I ran into Dean Zhou Zhengbin a few days ago, he said to me, ’Your medical institute is really impressive.’ Hahaha! Before, every time we met, he would say something like ’Zhao Yi is wasting his talent in your place.’ He doesn’t say that anymore."

"He’s right."

Li Ming affirmed, "I know some people from the School of Sciences, they congratulated us on our success."

Along with Dai Tianqing and Chen Zhigang, they all agreed, "Indeed! Those from the School of Sciences, they all sound so envious."

"It’s all because of Zhao Yi!"

"Before, they used to say that Zhao Yi couldn’t do medical research, but now they can’t say anything."

"Hahahaha....."

Indeed, the people from the School of Sciences were envious of the achievements of the Biomedical Research Institute. There’s nothing out of the ordinary about the great findings of the Biomedical Research Institute, but it was different when the chief researcher was Zhao Yi.

In the eyes of those in the School of Sciences, Zhao Yi was a ’Math Genius’, unconnected to biology or medicine, they merely saw his interest in biomedical research as a ’hobby’.

But now, things have changed

Zhao Yi had brought forth a significant discovery related to AIDS, claiming that it could ’potentially result in a complete cure for AIDS’. Many even began to wonder if he could win the Nobel Prize in Physics for these findings and research.

Nobel Prize!

Although Zhao Yi’s achievements in mathematics were outstanding and he could confidently be regarded as the top mathematician worldwide, the Nobel Prize was still not to be underestimated. No one from our country has won a Nobel Prize yet. If he could achieve such great success, how could one say that biomedical research was just a hobby for him?

Moreover, Zhao Yi’s research helped the Biomedical Research Institute secure significant sponsorship for the construction of the medical center, guaranteeing him a laboratory in the center. However, when the Department of Science proposed to build a Particle Mathematics Center in the School of Sciences, Zhao Yi showed no interest.
