Although there was no expression on the old leader's face, Tian Ligeng was keenly aware of a different atmosphere.

Like before, the old leader had never looked at everyone one by one like this.

Even the first and second place of young top-notch talent.

Thinking of this, Tian Ligeng immediately glanced at his old friend Li Zhenbang again.

I saw Li Zhenbang also looking at the people in the discussion with a blank face.

Even though the quarrel was a little fierce, Li Zhenbang never said a word after the nomination.

At this time, it would be really strange if Tian Ligeng still couldn't figure it out.

"From the perspective of our human resources department's appointment, Chen Zhou's age and qualifications are still too shallow. Generally speaking, the academic qualifications of young top-notch talents are at least doctoral degrees. But Chen Zhou has only been in college for a long time. So, I'm not in favor of putting him in the first batch. ”

This is the view of the special person in charge of the human resources and social security department.

His opinion is that not only does he not approve of Chen Zhou's placement in the third place, but even the first batch of 60 candidates does not recommend adding Chen Zhou.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately received a response from some people.

But in the final analysis, the reason for the opposition is still Chen Zhou's age and education.

Compared with other candidates, Chen Zhou does not have an advantage in this regard.

Not to mention that one of the first two is the deputy director of the Jiangcheng Institute of Physics and Mathematics of the Huaguo Academy of Sciences, and the other is the youngest professor and doctoral supervisor of Mizuki University.

After the special leaders of the other 9 departments finished expressing their opinions, it was Tian Ligeng's turn.

Of these 9 people, 6 clearly disagreed, and 3 had a vague attitude, but also said that Chen Zhou's order could be adjusted backwards.

Tian Ligeng heard it clearly, if he voted, Chen Zhou's selection would be a bit hanging.

However, with the presence of old leaders, it is not easy to say.

Glancing at the old leader, Tian Ligeng found that the old leader was also looking at him.

After organizing the language a little, Tian Ligeng said: "I am in favor of putting Chen Zhou in the order of the third place in the first batch. Since it is a national '10,000 people plan' and a plan, we must take a long-term perspective, and we cannot limit ourselves to the present time. ”

"Age and education are really not a reason to object. That's right, Chen Zhou is indeed an undergraduate student now, but according to the information I have, after graduating from Yan University next year, he will go to MIT for further study, and with his current achievements, it is only a matter of time before he gets a doctorate. ”

"On the contrary, I think age is an advantage for Chen Zhou. It is precisely because of his youth that we have selected him for the program of young top-notch talents, which is of great significance for the rejuvenation of China's scientific research talents. ”，

In addition, from the perspective of the development of mathematics in our country alone, putting Chen Zhou in such a high position as the third in the first batch also has more advantages than disadvantages. ”

"Therefore, I am in favor of Comrade Li Zhenbang's proposal. ”

After Tian Ligeng's words were finished, the previous heads of the 9 departments looked at him in unison.

Originally, they took a fancy to the situation of speaking, and basically decided to kick Chen Zhou out.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the person in charge of the organizational department in charge of the meeting actually sang the opposite.

When Tian Ligeng's voice fell, the special person in charge of the human resources department directly retorted: "Director Tian, there is some truth in what you said. But we have to consider the age factor of the candidates, Chen Zhou is young and can wait, but some comrades who have already made achievements cannot wait. ”

This is actually unreasonable, but it is very much in line with the characteristics of thinking.

Without waiting for Tian Ligeng to speak, Li Zhenbang had already said: "Young top-notch talents are for comrades under the age of 35. ”

When Li Zhenbang said this, he stopped, and he didn't finish the rest of the words.

But everyone present understood what he meant.

If you really have the ability, aren't there still two unrestricted ages in the national "Ten Thousand Talents Program"?

Then if you really don't have the ability to compete for places with young people based on your age, then where does your reason come from?

The special person in charge of the human resources department was about to refute, but the old leader stood up, not to make a decision directly, but to say: "You discuss and discuss, don't have so many limitations in the thinking of selecting talents, we choose talents." ”

After speaking, the old leader walked out of the conference room and went to the bathroom.

In the conference room, there were stunned people.

After a period of silence, Li Zhenbang looked at the expressions on everyone's faces and proposed: "Let's vote first, and form a preliminary opinion before the old leader returns." ”

There was no objection from the crowd.

But what needs to be said, still has to be said.

Even with what the old leader just said.

When the veteran leader returned to the conference room again, the preliminary voting results had already come out.

In the end, the number of people who were in favor of putting Chen Zhou in the third place in the first batch was 7, and 4 people were not in favor.

After hearing this result, the old leader smiled softly and said: "You guys, you always think about people's age and education, but in fact, real ability is the most important thing. ”

"Every year when the Nobel Prize is selected, don't there be people who wait in line for many years?

"We lack a Fields Medal medal in China, but Chen Zhou, a young man, has the ability to bring this medal back. ”

"According to you, when the time comes, will you consider putting him on the Young Talent Program or on the list of Outstanding Talent Programs?"

The crowd was silent and did not speak.

But those who switched to voting for it quietly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

The old leader took in everyone's expressions, turned his head and said to his secretary: "Xiaobai, take out the printed materials and show them them." ”

"Okay. Secretary Xiaobai answered, took out a stack of printed materials from the briefcase, and handed it to Tian Ligeng.

Tian Ligeng took the material suspiciously, looked at it, and immediately understood what the old leader meant.

At the same time, he also secretly sighed, fortunately, he handed over the task of reporting the candidate to Li Zhenbang, if he reported it himself, Chen Zhou's name would not know where it was.

Li Zhenbang took the materials, only glanced at them, and his heart was settled.

As the materials were circulated, the special heads of other departments had different expressions.

But I was also surprised by the content of the material in front of me.

This material is also equivalent to providing a strong support for Chen Zhou's selection.

After everyone had read the materials, the old leader said loudly: "I agree with putting Chen Zhou in the order of the first batch and the third place, what do you think?"
