Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 806: 430

"Hello, hello! Academician Zhao!"

Li Rongmao was very excited and a little embarrassed because he was disheveled, his clothes full of wrinkles, presenting himself with an image problem.

Zhao Yi sat Li Rongmao down and went straight to discussing research issues, he wanted to know what projects Li Rongmao had specifically worked on and the roles he had played in them.

This was very important.

The reason Zhao Yi wanted to hire an alloy materials expert was that he hoped the expert could provide foundational R&D thinking since he was not knowledgeable about R&D "foundations." Shen Binghe was not specialized in alloy materials research and could only offer very limited R&D suggestions.

He knew the general direction to take but needed help with the details.

Of course.

Actually, Zhao Yi could also consult with Zhang Hongtao, but currently, they were in a collaborative relationship, not one research team. He mainly used the other party’s equipment and environment and must strive for the leading position in R&D.

This was just like working with the Biomedical Research Institute.

Zhao Yi could provide the general R&D direction and identify key points in experimental results, but the specifics of the experiments still needed to be done by others.

Li Rongmao became very serious, he took a sip of water to calm himself and then started describing his resume, the projects he had worked on, the roles he had played, and also discussed his significance in the R&D team.

"I participated in the entire development process of DD5, submitted the initial design report, and helped improve single crystal technology..."

"During my Ph.D., I worked with Academician Peng Engui on a titanium alloy project, having developed..."

"The new findings released by the Metal Research Institute a few days ago were mostly done according to my design; Academician Peng Engui made some modifications, but I was the main designer..."

Zhao Yi, puzzled, asked, "But I see that in the papers you published, you are only the third author. If you were the main designer, you should at least be the second author, right?"

Li Rongmao replied with a bitter smile, "Academician Zhao, the main designer of an R&D team is not necessarily the first or second author. It depends on the team leader. Academician Peng Engui thought third author was enough for me; after all, my work is sufficient for a regular position and to be promoted to associate researcher."

"I see."

Zhao Yi suddenly understood and felt great sympathy for Li Rongmao. He was also very pleased.

He needed this kind of core talent!

Lucky!

Li Rongmao was certainly dissatisfied with the results and authorship being given to others, which was why he decided to try for a job change here. Otherwise, a talent from the Metal Research Institute who was about to be promoted to associate researcher would have no reason at all to come to a small university lab.

"Alright then."

Zhao Yi talked with Li Rongmao for a while and, satisfied, nodded, "I will speak to the university immediately. You sign a contract with them first, and then you come to our lab."

"...Now?"

"Yes, now?"

Li Rongmao hesitated for a long time before finally describing his situation, "Academician Peng doesn’t want to let me go, won’t process my resignation, and even brought up issues of project confidentiality. I came here in a fit of anger." He said this cautiously, looking at Zhao Yi because he didn’t know how Zhao Yi would react.

That was Academician Peng Engui!

In domestic alloy materials research, there probably weren’t many people who dared to offend Peng Engui.

Zhao Yi...

"This is simple!"

After listening, Zhao Yi immediately made a decision, "I’ll go talk to the higher-ups. Don’t bother going back; everything there will be taken care of for you. What you need to do now is to sign a contract with the university and then come to the lab. Don’t worry about anything else."

"Ah? It can be done like this?"

"Don’t worry about it."

Shen Binghe finally chimed in, "With Academician Zhao, what can’t be solved? It’s just a trivial resignation matter; rest assured, even if you have an employment contract on you, the university will still sign you on." freewebnσvel.cøm

"This is nothing!"
