Chapter 9: Stay in touch

The next day, Lu Xifei got up early in the morning, prepared some special products, and brought them to the unit. On the way, he couldn't wait to switch the WeChat account and send a message to Chen Yuwei to explain, he said that because Huan Shaojun suddenly broke into the room last night, he didn't have a chance to say good night to her, and he felt deeply guilty. After the message was sent, she waited for Chen Yuwei's reply, but she didn't reply until she arrived at the unit.

When I got to the office, it was half past eight. There was an eerie silence and dreary atmosphere on the entire floor, and it was obvious that Zhao Rulan must be in the office. He hurried into his office and packed up his preparations. As soon as I started working, I suddenly looked up and found that Zhao Rulan was already standing at the door.

"Lu Xifei, come over here" Zhao Rulan said sonorously.

Lu Xifei was shocked, after years of getting along, he knew very well that Zhao Rulan's tone must have an important task to explain. Lu Xifei came to her office with a special product specially prepared for Zhao Rulan and a nervous mood.

He knocked on the door and closed the door, walked straight to Zhao Rulan, and gave her the sustenance. Lu Xifei told her that this is Yinchuan's black wolfberry, which is very good for her body, so she specially bought it for her.

Zhao Rulan was very happy, with a smile on her face, no matter what her identity is, it is always a happy thing to be remembered and receive gifts. She usually chats with each other for a while before assigning tasks.

"Tell me about your meeting. Zhao Rulan always has a leader's tone when she speaks.

Lu Xifei simply reported on going to Yinchuan for a meeting, especially mentioning that he won the award and came to the stage to accept the award. Zhao Rulan didn't care, her expression and body language already said it all. In the process of his debriefing, she went to make coffee for a while, and looked left and right for a while. Lu Xifei knew that she didn't care about this, but he still insisted on reporting to her. Whether she attaches importance to it or not, she must pay attention to it first, otherwise what she is doing now will be meaningless.

After a brief report, Zhao Rulan began to speak.

"Lu Xifei, do a good job, keep up the good work", Zhao Rulan took out the posture of a leader and pretended to praise him, of course Lu Xifei knew that these praises were not sincere.

"Thank you, director", he still showed the gesture of being flattered when he was praised.

"Let's talk about your work next", Zhao Rulan couldn't wait to change the topic and enter the topic of today's conversation.

"When you're in college, it's not enough to just do the evaluation work. A good person will not be limited to a small piece of work, but should be well-rounded and multi-tasking. ”

Zhao Rulan talked endlessly, but Lu Xifei thought in his heart that this was the leader's consistent trick, drawing a big pie for his subordinates, pretending that everything was for our good and planning the future for us. It's touching to say, it's nothing more than wanting to give us more work and let us do more things for her. I won't eat her.

"You can't leave behind the subject work, and you have to take on the teaching work, so that you can develop better in the future. You are now hired, but don't be discouraged. Back then, like you, I was in a vulnerable position. I majored in clinical science in college, but after I was assigned, I was asked to do non-clinical soft subjects, and compared to my classmates, they were all clinicians, and I always felt that I was weaker than them. However, now you can also see that after so many years, my current achievements are incomparable to those of my classmates, who are still just clinicians, and some have become clinical directors. However, I have stepped to a higher level, becoming a professor and doctoral supervisor, facing the national level, making suggestions and suggestions for national ministries and commissions, and winning a series of honors. ”

"Director, you are too powerful", Lu Xi sincerely admired Zhao Rulan.

"If I had been discouraged and only saw my own weaknesses, I would not have been able to achieve what I am now. So Lu Xifei, I see your situation in my eyes, if you want to be recognized by others, you must make yourself stronger, and weakness will become an advantage, and success will naturally come naturally."

Zhao Rulan's few words suddenly rekindled Lu Xifei's passion and fighting spirit, after all, a leader is a leader, and he can grasp the hearts of his subordinates.

"En" Lu Xi catered to it at an untimely time.

Zhao Rulan felt that the chicken soup for the soul was almost the same, and it was time to arrange the work.

"Recently, major projects have to start declaring again. Eight years ago, I got such a project, which has been completed and won the second prize at the national level. This year, I want to conquer another city, and as you know, this year I'm going to hit the 'Confucius and Mencius Scholars', so this project is very important to me. When the judges saw that I had two major projects in my hands, my academic level and influence would be greater, and I would be more hopeful of impacting the 'Confucius and Mencius Scholars'. Zhao Rulan said sincerely.

Lu Xifei stared at her to see what she was going to say next.

"For this project application, I am going to arrange for you, Jia Yizhen, Cheng Yueqing, Tianshu and Ding Ruo to do it together. I've already arranged a few other people before, and you went on a business trip some time ago, so I'll tell you today. I have arranged the work of each of you, you are responsible for the research content and technical route, Jia Yizhen is responsible for the background of the project, Cheng Yueqing is responsible for the research foundation, and Tianshu is responsible for the budget. Ding Ruo is responsible for literature collection. I am responsible for the overall design and planning of the entire project. Do you accept this kind of work arrangement?"

Ding Ruo is Zhao Rulan's graduate student, more introverted, not very talkative, usually see teachers are timid, see Zhao Rulan is even more timid, honest, diligent and diligent, obey Zhao Rulan's words, help Zhao Rulan busy every day, not a moment of rest. It is precisely because he is obedient and honest that Zhao Rulan trusts him very much, and he basically participates in many projects. His graduate student life was not easy, and he was the hardest among the entire graduate students. He was often busy until eleven or twelve o'clock in the graduate office, and the people around him sympathized with him when they saw him working so hard. Lu Xifei sometimes cares about him, chats with him to enlighten him, and reminds him to pay more attention to rest. And told him that the work can never be done, and if there is too much work, communicate with Zhao Rulan in advance, and don't blindly obey. Only after communication, Zhao Rulan will know his situation and arrange less work for him, and he will be more relaxed. To be a man, you must learn to communicate and refuse, otherwise you will be like a donkey, working all the time, and finally exhausting yourself to death. And Ding Ruo just looked at him shyly and didn't speak. After that, he was still as diligent as before, honestly completing the task, and silently bearing everything alone.

After listening to Zhao Rulan's words, Lu Xifei finally knew her true thoughts, and she was unwilling to undertake this project in her heart. Zhao Rulan's temperament is anxious, and she pursues perfection in her work, even to the point of nitpicking, which is often overwhelming. Another reason is that he is not interested in scientific research projects. He remembered that he had discussed with Jia Yizhen whether he liked scientific research.

He asked Jia Yizhen, "Do you like scientific research?"

Jia Yizhen said, "I don't like it." Scientific research is very hard, and I have to check the literature, apply for the topic, write the paper, and declare the results every day. Unlike other jobs, one job is over when it's done. A lot of work is done during the day and can be rested at night. And scientific research, it never ends, I work all the time, I work all the time, I have to work when I get home from work, on weekends and Sundays, and I never rest. What about you?

Lu Xifei told him that he didn't like it either.

Lu Xifei asked him again, "Then why do you still want to stay in the university to do scientific research?"

Jia Yizhen told him, "When we graduated from college, there were many paths to choose from in our careers. However, after completing the doctoral program, you will find that the career is becoming narrower and narrower, and there are not many paths to choose from. If you apply for a job in the society with a doctorate degree, you will find it extremely difficult. No company wants to hire a PhD student to do routine work. As soon as these jobs are clearly done by undergraduate graduates, why bother recruiting doctoral students, it is overkill and the cost is too high. Second, doctoral students have studied hard for more than 20 years, pay too much, and inevitably have high requirements for wages and salaries, but in the eyes of enterprises, they are high-eyed, so companies would rather choose undergraduates than doctoral students. The job of a doctoral student can only seek a job within the system, either in a university or in a research institute. And these jobs are inseparable from scientific research. If you don't do scientific research, there is no place for you in such a unit. Therefore, reality forces itself to do scientific research, otherwise it will be eliminated by society. ”

Lu Xifei asked again: "Then why do you want to study for a master's degree and a doctorate?"

Jia Yizhen said helplessly: "It's not that you don't know our society, academic qualifications are too important. Now there are master's and doctoral degrees everywhere, and if it's just a bachelor's degree, I always feel that I can't hang on my face. In addition, if you want to develop your career within the system, you must continue to study for graduate school. In fact, the best career route is to work first and then go to graduate school. However, it is difficult to coordinate and work hard to go to graduate school after working and then continuing to study for graduate school. Therefore, many college students choose to continue their studies for a master's degree after graduation, and then continue to study for a doctorate. However, only a very small number of these people are interested in scientific research, and the vast majority of them are only interested in better work in the future, with a certain utilitarian nature. ”

What Jia Yizhen said is not unreasonable, thinking about it, didn't he study for a master's degree in order to enter the system and seek better career development in the future? In fact, he was not interested in academic research at all.

Interest is the best teacher, and if there is no interest in doing scientific research, can scientific research be done well? Therefore, the shoddy and worthless scientific research results of some scholars are not unrelated to their attitude towards scientific research and the state of their work. However, such scholars account for a certain proportion of scholars in our country, and many of them do not aim to obtain scientific research results, not to benefit all mankind, but only to promote, obtain senior professional titles, and improve salaries. They are like parasites mixed in with the system, and they get by. As for how valuable the scientific research results are, they don't really care so much at all.

Thinking back to reality, Lu Xifei saw the scientific research plan on the table, the title was "Research on the Transformation and Realization Path of Medical Technology", and when he saw the title, he finally thought of how to reject Zhao Rulan.

"Director, my major is not very compatible, writing research content and technical route is the most difficult part of the application, I am afraid that I am not qualified as a layman." Lu Xifei tried her best to shirk it, hoping that she would be replaced by someone else to write it.

"You don't have to worry about that. Your understanding is very high, and learning by doing is not difficult for you. I'll give you some samples, and I, as a reviewer, have downloaded a lot of previous applications from other experts and professors, which you can refer to and study. ”

It is difficult for others to control what Zhao Rulan has made up her mind about, and she always has a domineering momentum. Lu Xifei knew that she would definitely not be able to escape this time, so she was determined to ask him to undertake this task.

"Well, I'm afraid that I don't do well and it will affect your project application. Lu Xifei said helplessly.

"I believe in you, and you have to believe in yourself. Relevant materials, you will take them from Ding Ruo in a while. By the way, you must take it seriously, I heard that Liu Jinshi is also preparing to apply for this project this time. There are 2-3 places in the whole school, and we have one place, and the competition is fierce, so we must attach great importance to it and be sure to win. ”

Speaking of Liu Jinshi, he is also a legend in the school, Zhao Rulan is so nervous, she has to pay attention. Liu Jinshi is 52 years old and the oldest lecturer in the school. He has also participated in the associate professor review several times before, but he has never been evaluated. Everyone is very sorry for him, his academic ability is not low, he has published a lot of papers, and the quality of teaching is also very high. However, his biggest "shortcoming" is that he is a principled person, although he has outstanding scientific research and teaching ability, but because of his upright character, in the process of every major scientific research project and achievement evaluation, he is always a few votes worse than others, and unfortunately loses.

Lu Xifei once asked Li Yushan why Liu Jinshi has not been rated as an associate professor, and Li Yushan told him, "Liu Jinshi has no scientific research awards, although the number of papers published is large, but there are almost no SCI papers, and these have a particularly high weight in the evaluation system of associate professors." In addition, he is reluctant to deal with experts and never gives gifts to review experts. You also know that when it comes to judging, candidates don't always have to go to the experts to walk around and make connections. But if he refuses to do this, can he vote high when he votes?"

Lu Xifei still had some questions and asked Li Yushan, "Liu Jinshi's teaching ability is so outstanding, can't he be elected as an associate professor?"

Li Yushan smiled and said to him, "Are you too naΓ―ve? The evaluation mechanism of colleges and universities does not look at teaching, but mainly on scientific research. If the scientific research results are not good, no matter how good the teaching is, it is useless. This is the unspoken rule of colleges and universities, and if you want to play, you have to abide by this set of rules. ”

After hearing this, Lu Xifei was very upset with Liu Jinshi, "Isn't the main responsibility of colleges and universities to teach? Teaching and educating people is the main work of colleges and universities." No teacher who is so good in class can be elected as an associate professor, so what kind of associate professor is needed? What kind of evaluation mechanism is this!"

Li Yushan smiled and said, "This is the rule of the game, if you don't follow the rules, you can only be eliminated." ”

If there are good deeds to enlighten Liu Jinshi, why don't you go to the review experts to walk around, or spend some money to publish SCI papers, as long as you are rated as an associate professor? Why compete with yourself.

Liu Jinshi rejected their kind words and persuasion, saying: "The most important thing in being a man is to be worthy of his conscience. Why do I want to go the wrong way? Isn't this a serious undermining of the fairness mechanism? I do my job well, and I can't help it if they don't recognize my achievements, but at least I'm worthy of my conscience. Also, why do we have to publish SCI papers? Why should our country's scientific research resources serve foreigners? Isn't there a good journal in China? Why do I have to publish SCI to reflect my academic achievements?"

Seeing that Liu Jinshi was so elm-pimpled, the good deeds were indifferent, and there was nothing they could do about him. In this way, Liu Jinshi's associate professor has not been evaluated, and later he himself gave up participating in the evaluation and became the most senior lecturer in the school, and was once ridiculed by the teachers of the school, but he did not take it to heart and still went his own way. After getting along with Liu Jinshi over the years, Lu Xifei admires Liu Jinshi more and more, he is really a good teacher and a good scholar, sincere, and realistic, and he is definitely a clear stream in colleges and universities.

The reason why Zhao Rulan attaches so much importance to Liu Jinshi is that she knows Liu Jinshi's scientific research strength too well. The scientific research projects he does are very solid and of very high quality. If the quality of the research is more serious, she may not be able to win. Therefore, this is also the reason why Zhao Rulan asked them to take it seriously, and she may not be completely sure in her heart, and she dare not take it lightly.

After coming out of Zhao Rulan's office, Lu Xifei felt a little lost. He also felt very strange, every time he came out of Zhao Rulan's office, he would feel this way. In front of Zhao Rulan, he often felt this sense of tension and oppression. He hoped to receive her attention and not be marginalized in the unit, but he was afraid of being paid too much attention to her, and her overwhelming momentum made him very uneasy and uncomfortable. The thought of the torture he would have to endure in the coming days made him feel melancholy.

He comforted himself.

At this time, he remembered Chen Yuwei, so he immediately checked WeChat. This time I finally waited for her reply.

"It's okay, you don't have to be psychologically burdened. You didn't reply to me last night, and I already guessed that you might be inconvenient. So it doesn't matter, I can understand it. ”

is really an empathetic woman, it is really a blessing to have such a lover, Lu Xifei feels that he is too lucky.

"I'm sorry. I'll be careful next time. Are you up?"

"Well, you have to be careful, it's a big trouble to be discovered. I've gotten up, I'm having breakfast, and I'm ready to go back to playing. What are you doing now?" Chen Yuwei said.

"I just finished reporting to the leader, and now I am ready to share the special products with you. ”

"Well, then there you go. Be sure to pay attention to safety in the future, for the safety of both of us. ”

"Well, I will! ”

"Go ahead, we'll talk later"

β€œ88”

After chatting with Chen Yuwei, he went to various offices in the institute to prepare to give the souvenirs to everyone.

"Lu Xifei, you're back. Jia Yizhen saw Lu Xifei with a smile on his face.

"yes, it's back. Brought you a specialty". Lu Xifei handed him the souvenir.

"My brother thought of me on a business trip, thank you. Jia Yizhen said with a smile.

"Today, the leader told me about a project, and you also participated?" Lu Xifei asked.

"Yes, annoying. I haven't applied for a project yet, but I have to help her apply. She has so many projects on hand, and I don't have a few projects on hand, and I was going to apply for another project on my own, but now I definitely don't have time. ”

Jia Yizhen said that there is a common phenomenon in colleges and universities, young scholars have few topics and funds, and academic experts have many topics and funds. The main reason for this phenomenon is that young scholars have a weak research foundation and insufficient accumulation, coupled with contacts and other reasons, it is difficult to obtain some large research projects. However, the big bulls in the academic world are very easy to get, and the subject is soft. For example, Zhao Rulan, who is already well-known in the academic world, is also a review expert of many project funds, and each review expert takes care of each other, and it is much easier for them to apply for topics than young scholars. In addition, due to their status in the academic world, many ministries and agencies will also give them tasks that do not require an application. These directive topics, which are highly funded, easy to reimburse, and easy to conclude, are the favorite types of topics among academic experts. At its peak, Zhao Rulan had at least 40 projects under her name, with a funding of hundreds of millions of yuan. In recent years, in order to build an innovative country, the country has attached great importance to scientific research, and scientific research funds are sufficient, but it is also very rare for a scholar like Zhao Rulan to get hundreds of millions of yuan in soft disciplines, which is enough to reflect her influence and status in the academic world.

"Me too, I only have a small project of tens of thousands of yuan on hand, and there are almost no topics," Lu Xifei echoed.

"No way, who called her a leader. If you don't help her, you can't apply for the project, and if you don't accumulate, you won't have any results. In the future, it will be even more difficult to apply for projects. ”

Jia Yizhen spoke the voice of the young scholar. The most important thing in the academic world is the academic foundation of the individual, that is, the academic achievements made by the individual in the major over the years, such as how many awards have been won, how many topics have been undertaken, how many SCI and core journal papers have been published, how many books have been published, and how many patents have been published. In the project application, the research foundation is a required item, and the reviewers pay special attention to these. It is very difficult for young scholars with few achievements to get a heavyweight topic unless there is a relationship between them. This is the case with Cheng Yueqing's previous project in Tianyuan City. Her own academic accumulation is not enough, and her academic achievements are not much, but she has benefited from her husband for such a heavyweight topic. As the director of a department, he greeted the relevant units, opened a green channel for her, and directly gave her additional places. She doesn't take up a spot in the institute and doesn't have to compete with others. Although there is some injustice, everyone seems to be accustomed to such a society, no one to report, no one to complain, everyone knows that if you want to get the topic, the eight immortals cross the sea, each showing their powers.

"Let's accumulate first, and then do it yourself. Lu Xifei said.

In fact, Zhao Rulan also knows the mentality of these young teachers, so she will unscrupulously exploit them, squeeze them, and let them help her with her projects. Although it is a win-win result, it is Zhao Rulan who benefits the most. Under her coercion, all the results of the research group must be signed with her name, and some large results, even if they are written independently, must also be signed by her as the first author. Jia Yizhen once wrote an article for Zhao Rulan and published it in the journal Nature, which is well-known in the academic community and belongs to the top international journals, which generally have major discoveries and major achievements before they are published, representing absolute academic authority and status. Publish papers in such top journals, and some units even give awards. Some units will give bonuses according to the impact factor score of SCI, and 1 point of impact factor will give 10,000 yuan, such as the impact factor of Nature magazine is 41 points, and the bonus is very generous. The school finally awarded Zhao Rulan a bonus of 200,000 yuan. But Jia Yizhen didn't get a penny, so he was in a mood for a long time. Zhao Rulan also knew his dissatisfaction, and promised to bring him with him in the future academic achievements to help him be rated as an associate professor as soon as possible, and Jia Yizhen let go of the mustard in his heart. He knew very well in his heart that even if he had a lot of dissatisfaction, what could he do in such an environment?

"Yes, let's take it slow on the road of scientific research. Jia Yizhen said helplessly.

"By the way, Lu Xifei, can you go out with me at night?" Jia Yizhen suddenly said mysteriously.

"Okay. But what's the matter?" Lu Xifei asked curiously.

"Blind date, help me refer to it," Jia Yizhen said shyly.

"Haha, okay. Take a look at the photos first".

Jia Yizhen took out the photo of the beautiful woman in his mobile phone and shared it with Lu Xifei. Judging from the photos, this girl looks very good, and she is a big beauty at first glance. Lu Xifei was a little jealous of Jia Yizhen in his heart, not only is he handsome, his family conditions are good, he is also a regular member of the unit, and even the girls introduced are so good.

"Well, it's really good. Lu Xi praised insincerely.

"Not necessarily credible. The current beauty photo PS is too powerful. ”

Jia Yizhen is telling the truth, and now the photo is called "photo fraud". Jia Yizhen often tells Lu Xifei about his blind date experience. Once, Jia Yizhen took out a photo to show him, and even Lu Xifei felt heartbroken after seeing it, it was so beautiful. Who knew that after returning from the blind date, Jia Yizhen complained to Lu Xifei for a long time, "Deception! **Naked deception!The photo is like a fairy, and I am scared away by thousands of troops. His face was covered with pimples, his face was fat, his skin was dark, and the photo and I didn't look like the same person at all. The point is that she still smells on her body, and her hair looks like it's oiled. Originally, I had to finish a meal before leaving, but I really couldn't stand the smell on her body, so I made an excuse and said that the director asked me to go back to work overtime, so I barely escaped. After I came back, I trained the introducer and asked him to introduce him more reliably next time, and don't just look at the photos himself, and introduce them blindly without understanding the situation."

Another time, someone introduced him to a girl who was indeed very beautiful, and she was the type that men liked. Who knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was like a man, which made Jia Yizhen collapse suddenly.

The funniest thing is that once Jia Yizhen went on a blind date. Both of them have a lot of feelings. The blind date is not only beautiful, but also has a sexy body and a nice voice. Jia Yi really thought that he had finally found his goddess of life. But after a meal, the two of them turned yellow. Lu Xifei asked curiously, didn't he say that all the conditions were very good, why was it yellow again? Jia Yizhen told him that this blind date girl was the most bizarre woman he had ever seen.

That day, Jia Yizhen took the woman to eat Cantonese cuisine, which is relatively tall compared to other cuisines, to show the importance he attaches to women. When I arrived at the restaurant, the woman was quite normal at first, she looked very charming, and her manners were very decent, which made people feel excited. When ordering, in order to show respect for the woman, he asked the woman to order the food herself. The woman is more generous and has no excuses. Jia Yi really thinks that this woman is quite assertive, some girls twist and pinch, either casually, or you can order it. Who knew that when ordering, the woman asked for ten shrimp sashimi, each for 298 yuan. Jia Yizhen was taken aback, and hurriedly said, the two of them can't eat so much, right? The woman said that there was too little to eat, and 10 was almost enough. Jia Yizhen's heart was dripping blood at that time, I damn it, this woman is ruthless enough, as soon as she met and ordered food so expensive, she thought that she wouldn't have met a food trust, right? However, Jia Yizhen couldn't help it, for the sake of the introducer's face, it was not too late to take a look. Who knows, the woman ordered another geoduck, and asked for more than 1,000 yuan, then ordered two cups of bird's nest, and later ordered some snacks and appetizers, Jia Yizhen calculated in his heart that the meal was close to 5,000 yuan. At that time, Jia Yizhen was shocked, this girl either had a lot of money or a rice nurse. But this was introduced by a friend, so it's unlikely. Is it a good family? But I didn't hear from the introducer. Suddenly, he remembered a post he had seen on the Internet, saying that the blind date object ordered the most expensive food when ordering because he didn't like the other party, in order to make the other party die. Jia Yi really thought that this woman was clearly playing tricks on him. The thought of this made him furious. So he decided not to pay the bill and slipped away early. Jia Yizhen found an excuse and slipped away again, leaving the woman alone, and finally she paid the money herself.

After listening, Lu Xifei threw himself to the ground for the five-body body that Jia Yizhen admired, and there was actually this kind of saucy operation. In China, in order to reflect the gentlemanly demeanor of men, the meal is generally paid by the man during the blind date, and the AA system (note: two people pay separately, or pay the bill equally) is very rare. If a woman takes the initiative to propose the AA system, it can also enhance the man's affection for the woman, but even if he proposes it, the man generally will not really let the woman pay, unless he really looks down on the other party. But if a man proposes the AA system, the blind date is basically yellow. For women, a man who is not even willing to pay for a meal is either stingy or doesn't care about her, and such a man will definitely not have a good impression in the eyes of women. Like Jia Yizhen, who slips away without paying, is simply strange to women, and will definitely complain in the circle of friends.

Lu Xifei was very surprised, and said to Jia Yizhen, "It doesn't seem appropriate for you to slip away, how can you explain to the introducer?"

Jia Yizhen said that the next thing is even more bizarre. Later, the introducer called him and scolded him, saying, "Why did you run away?" Jia Yizhen told him the truth, "Have you ever seen a blind date cost nearly 5,000 yuan for a meal? If she were a rich second generation, I would admit it. ”

A friend introduced the situation of the woman, whose family is not wealthy. She also asked the introducer to find Jia Yizhen to return the meal fee to her. She cried to the introducer that she was poor, saying that her monthly salary was not enough to spend, and she would become a moonlight clan at the end of the month. I wanted to have a good meal that day, but I didn't expect Jia Yizhen to run away!

Jia Yizhen said to the introducer, I originally thought that the budget of 1,000 yuan for a dinner for two people was already very good, and 2,000 yuan was acceptable, but it was too strange to spend nearly 5,000 yuan for a meal like hers. Besides, I didn't eat that day, she ate it herself. After listening to this, the introducer also felt that this woman was indeed excessive.

Later, the woman still refused to give up, and often called to harass Jia Yizhen and asked him to pay back the money, but Jia Yizhen just didn't give it. She called to harass the introducer, but the introducer couldn't stand her continuous harassment, so she had to persuade Jia Yizhen to give some more. Jia Yizhen couldn't bear it, and finally admitted it, gave her 2,500 yuan, and the right to be the AA system, and since then she has been blocked. Later, I heard from the introducer that the woman later harassed him and asked him to find Jia Yizhen to repay the remaining money, and finally the introducer couldn't stand it and cut off contact with her.

Based on the above blind date experience, Jia Yizhen learned to be smart this time, and when he went on a blind date, he pulled Lu Xifei on a blind date, and when he saw that the signs were wrong, the two sang double reeds, and they slipped away halfway. Lu Xifei agreed to accompany him to a blind date at night.

After coming out of Jia Yizhen's office, Lu Xifei went to several other offices. When I arrived at He Huan's office, He Huan was not there, and Qiu Meng was alone. Qiu Meng and He Huan are in the same office, they are data entry clerks, a native of Tianyuan City, with a superior family background and 3 properties in the city center. Others work to survive, she works purely to pass the time. Due to her superior family background and easy work, she especially likes gossip, and she can always be the first to spread any gossip news in the unit.

Seeing Lu Xifei walking in, Qiu Meng immediately said to him excitedly.

"Leader, do you know that He Huan is in love. ”

Hearing that He Huan was in love, Lu Xifei was also surprised.

"Really, I've only been gone for a few days, and he's in love?"

"Really, I kid you not. The day after you went on a business trip, someone introduced him to a daughter, who was said to be divorced, had no children, was a rich woman, opened her own factory, and said that she wanted to find someone who was down-to-earth and reliable. Later, He Huan was introduced to her, and the two were very satisfied after meeting. The two of them are talking now. ”

"That's great. He Huan should be looking for it. In their hometown villages, some get married early and have children early, and at his age, some even become grandfathers. ”

He Huan is 5 years older than Lu Xifei, and he is almost 40 years old, but he looks young and can't tell his actual age. I don't know, I think Lu Xifei is older than He Huan. But when I thought that He Huan finally started to fall in love, I was sincerely happy for him.

If it happens, He Huan's heart will be decided, and he will no longer shout every day to resign and return to his hometown. However, the woman's conditions are so good, is she really interested in He Huan? After all, He Huan has nothing", Lu Xi said non-skeptically.

"A divorced woman may not think the same as a young girl, and she will not pay so much attention to the material conditions of the other party. Her material conditions are very good in themselves, and she may value a man's character more. He Huan is kind and honest, maybe people value this. Qiu Meng said.

"It's possible, and hopefully he'll be able to get out of the list this time. Lu Xifei said.

As soon as he finished speaking, He Huan came back from outside.

"He Huan, how did you talk to the girl?" Lu Xifei teased him.

When Lu Xifei asked, He Huan's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said shyly, "I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet." I don't think I'm worthy of her, she's so good. ”

"Don't think so, everyone likes you because you're good. She must be interested in you because of your character, so don't feel inferior. If the two can be together, it is fate. Lu Xifei said.

"Yes, she is willing to talk to you, which means that there is a chance. Be a man and be confident. A confident man is the deadliest temptation for a woman. Qiu Meng cheered He Huan up.

"But I'm still afraid of delaying people. I was a little reluctant. She follows me, what's so good? I don't have anything. I'm worried that I can't give her happiness. He Huan said pessimistically.

"Don't say such discouraged words. Men have to learn to coax girls. Girls are cheated, no matter what, you have to try to let her see the good in you, so that she will have a sense of admiration for you to fall in love with you. You always have no faith, and she has no faith in you. Lu Xifei continued to enlighten him.

"It's just, just be yourself, don't care what she thinks. She thinks you're not suitable, so she'll naturally leave. She thinks hello and you are her happiness. Qiu Meng added.

"Okay. I've never been in a relationship and don't know how. He Huan said shyly.

"Naturally. Two people like it, and they will feel very happy when they stay together. Lu Xifei continued.

When he said this, he thought of Chen Yuwei again. In a few days, didn't Chen Yuwei fall in love with herself? He suddenly felt that chasing girls was actually not so difficult, bold, active, thick-skinned, as long as she took the initiative, there would be a story, women are emotional animals, as long as she has feelings, it will be much easier to chase. Lu Xifei suddenly became confident, and when he talked to He Huan, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"You look at Teacher Lu differently, he understands girls. You have to learn more from Teacher Lu. Qiu Meng said. Then she taught He Huan to understand women's psychological characteristics, preferences and routines of chasing girls, and Lu Xifei also echoed and gave He Huan ideas.

After chatting for a while, Lu Xifei came out of He Huan and Qiu Meng's office and went straight to Tianshu's office. At this time, Tianshu was sitting quietly in his seat, and when he saw Lu Xifei coming in, he was obviously a little embarrassed, his face was slightly red, and the image of the well-behaved girl next door suddenly became cute.

"Leader, are you back?" Tianshu said softly.

"Well, I came back last night. Come, here's a specialty for you. Lu Xifei said to Tianshu with a smile.

"Thank you, leader. ”

"You're welcome. You seem to have lost weight these days?"

"Really, maybe I haven't had a good rest lately. ”

"Don't think about it too much, you will feel better when you have time to go out for a walk. Let me know if I need to take a leave of absence. Lu Xifei said with concern.

"Okay. It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days. Thank you Leadership. ”

"Why are you so polite today?!" Lu Xifei said teasingly.

"No more. Tianshu said shyly.

After greeting Tianshu, Lu Xifei saw that there was nothing special, so he left. After Lu Xifei went out, Tianshu couldn't calm down in his heart, and felt a warm current in his heart. Lu Xifei's concern for her made her worries disappear in the past few days. When she came to the unit in the morning, she knew that Lu Xifei was going back to work today, she was nervous and excited, and wondered how to face him. Unexpectedly, after meeting, he didn't mention anything about his broken love. She thought to herself that Lu Xifei must be worried about her embarrassment, so she kept silent, but his words were full of concern, which made her feel very warm.

After delivering the specialty, Lu Xifei returned to the office. He was a little apprehensive, because the task assigned by the leader was too difficult, and he could complete it by himself? He had no bottom in his heart, because he was not from this professional background, so he could only start from scratch, and it was very difficult to do it. He often has this sense of difficulty, but he is helpless, in such a working environment, he has no way, if he does not do scientific research, he will be marginalized. He wants to only do a good job in evaluation, and let those who are professional and interested in scientific research do it, so as not to waste scientific research resources. But if he doesn't do scientific research, how will he evaluate associate professors in the future?

The world is not about doing what you want, only adapting.

Just thinking about this, Li Yushan walked in. Lu Xifei gave him the carefully prepared specialties. Li Yushan pretended to resign and accepted it. Li Yushan asked him about his business trip in Yinchuan, and Lu Xifei talked to him about his experience in Yinchuan as if he were homely. In order to get closer to Li Yushan, Lu Xifei and Li Yushan chatted with Laxi. Lu Xifei asked him if he had ever been to Yinchuan, and Li Yushan started talking about Yinchuan, once again telling about his glorious resume when he joined the army. Li Yushan told Lu Xifei that he had participated in the Vietnam War, had a glorious history, traveled through most of the land of the motherland, and endured a lot of hardships. Later, he transferred to the school, established the institute and served as its first director. When he was the director, Zhao Rulan was just a young girl, Li Yushan saw her potential, and promoted her from a small faculty member to become the youngest director of the school at that time. Zhao Rulan was grateful for his support, and after Li Yushan retired, he hired him back to the institute and continued to serve as a proofreading expert in the evaluation room.

However, with Li Yushan's retirement, his resources became less and less, and his influence in the school became weaker and weaker, and he was gradually left out in the cold. Salaries have remained unchanged for more than a decade since they were hired. Prices have increased several times in the past ten years, and his salary used to be barely acceptable, but now it is not attractive and competitive at all. Zhu Zhengyi once reported to Zhao Rulan alone about Li Yushan's salary increase, but she did not agree. Li Yushan felt that Zhao Rulan was ungrateful, and the relationship with Zhao Rulan had a gap since then, but on the surface, the two sides were still very polite. Li Yushan was also helpless, and he could only swallow his anger under the fence. Li Yushan's family situation is not very good, due to the absence of young people for many years, neglecting to take care of the children, his son is very unhappy when he becomes an adult, he is not admitted to university, and he did not find a serious job after graduation, working as a security guard in a property. The daughter-in-law works in an OTC pharmacy, and the two of them are paid a meager salary, and their lives are under great pressure. Although Li Yushan has a high retirement salary, he often has to subsidize his son's family. In addition, Li Yushan's wife suffers from a serious mental illness - depression, often has to go to the hospital to see a doctor, buy medicine, another large amount of expenses, and the family's financial situation has become stretched, he needs such a salary to support the family.

Because Zhao Rulan didn't pay attention to him, Li Yushan and Lu Xifei inexplicably had a feeling of sympathy for each other, and he was also very happy to talk about some things with this little brother, but most of them talked about his former glory. People will always miss the time when they are full of spirit and infinite scenery.

After chatting for a long time, Li Yushan changed his words and whispered to Lu Xifei, "During your business trip, Zhao Rulan came to me and asked me to make an evaluation of you." Later, I told her that Lu Xifei is a young man with strong ability, sincerity and sincerity, although his personality is a little upright, but his comprehensive ability is still very good. Zhao Rulan later asked me if you think you are competent for the job of the person in charge of evaluation, and whether you need to recall Zhu Zhengyi again and let Zhu Zhengyi continue to come back to serve. I understood her thoughts right then, and she seemed to be a little unhappy with you. You also know that after all these years of getting along with you, I still know you very well as a person. So out of your protection, I suggested to her that you have not been in charge for a long time, and there have been no mistakes in your work, and now the removal will be a big blow to your work enthusiasm. In addition, Zhu Zhengyi has left his post and is invited back to continue working, and the relationship with his colleagues will be delicate and difficult to handle. Therefore, I suggest that she do not remove you from your position and do not let Zhu Zhengyi come back. Later, she felt that my analysis made sense and took my suggestion. ”

After listening to Li Yushan's words, Lu Xifei chuckled in his heart. He was suddenly a little depressed in his heart, but he didn't expect Zhao Rulan to support him on the surface, but he was so distrustful of him in his heart, and even began to be dissatisfied with him. He suddenly had a strong sense of crisis. But there was more anger in her heart, and she worked wholeheartedly for the evaluation room, but she didn't expect to be so suspicious in exchange for her, and the anger in her heart was strung together.

Lu Xifei thanked Li Yushan for speaking for him and chatted with him for a long time. Later, Li Yushan wanted to take his wife to the hospital for medical treatment, so he left.

After Li Yushan left, Lu Xifei sat quietly in the office alone, his heart was very complicated. Li Yushan's words just now woke him up, he worked so hard for the evaluation room, but for Zhao Rulan, the work performance of the evaluation room has nothing to do with her own interests, at least it is meaningless to her personal growth, no matter how good Lu Xifei does, she will not be recognized. Therefore, he must adjust the focus of his work, and the application for this major project is just a breakthrough, which is very important for Zhao Rulan to participate in the "Confucius and Mencius Scholars". Do a good job in this project, Zhao Rulan feels that he is valuable, and he is safe. On the other hand, he is also thinking about his future, and will he be able to evaluate whether the person in charge of the studio can continue to do it in the future? Maybe he will be removed by Zhao Rulan one day. If you don't give yourself some benefits now, once you are not in this position, you will really have nothing. He remembered what Huan Shaojun said, maybe he could really do some other business through this person in charge and seek benefits for his family. However, he remembered what Cheng Yueqing said that day, if he really operated in the dark for Xihe Hospital, wouldn't this be as pretentious as she said?

As soon as he thought of this, he was very upset, and felt that his bottom line as a man was being lost little by little. When he was upset, he thought of Chen Yuwei and didn't know what she was doing now? He sent a message to greet Chen Yuwei.

Chen Yuwei quickly replied, saying that she was playing with Teacher Wang and Teacher Cui in the Western Xia Tomb. He told her what Li Yushan said to him today, and the anger in his heart was rekindled.

"Don't trust the leader, if you do things for her wholeheartedly, she may not think of your good. She only cares if you are profitable for her. Lu Xifei poured out the frustration and resentment to Chen Yuwei.

"Yes. Sometimes, you still have to be shrewd. This society doesn't need people who do practical things, just like those who know the unspoken rules. It's also a good thing that you know what the leader thinks, so learn to be smart in the future and try to do something that the leader likes. Don't be angry, life is in the world, rush years, it's not worth being angry for others. Chen Yuwei comforted him and said.

"Well, I know. That's what I thought, too. Maybe it's still too young and maybe it's good for me to go through some setbacks. Lu Xi is not self-consoling.

"Yes. I was relieved to see you think so. I'm worried you're depressed. ”

"No, it won't. Along the way, I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, which may not be a setback. ”

"It's great to hear you say that. ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine, as long as I chat with you, I feel very relaxed, and the resentment just now is gone. ”

"Well, dissipate. Tweet you a song to relax your mind. ”

Chen Yuwei posted a music push, "Talki

g body》。 After clicking on it, Lu Xifei listened to it for a while, this song is full of ambiguity, and it is easy to arouse the primitive desire in his heart.

"This song feels so ambiguous, it's good, but it's a little weird. Lu Xifei asked suspiciously.

"What's weird?" asked Chen Yuwei playfully.

"It's just a bit ambiguous, and the lyrics are very straightforward. Reminds me of sex. Lu Xifei said.

"You think that way, too? Me too. When I hear this song, I also think about sex, and if this song is put on when men and women are making out, it must be wild. [Shy expression]"

Seeing this text, I was aroused by her desire again. This mature woman is very capable of grasping men's minds. Strangely, the depression and annoyance just now have also disappeared. Sex is beautiful and can bring joy to people and forget their troubles.

"Haha, do you want to think about it too?" Lu Xifei teased her.

"Haha, amused you. Hopefully you want to open some and don't think about those bothering things. Chen Yuwei said.

"Thank you, dear. After your comfort, my mood is much better. Lu Xifei said with emotion.

By the way, Mr. Wang and Mr. Cui told me to go over and take pictures of them, and we will talk later. ”

"Okay, there you go. I'm going to get busy too. [Kissing expression]"

"[Kissing expression]" Chen Yuwei replied.

After ending the chat, Lu Xifei began to adjust his work status. He first called Ding Ruo. Ding Ruo, as usual, timidly sent the information over, and Lu Xifei gave him the specialty, but he resolutely refused. After handing over the materials to him, Ding Ruo said weakly, "Goodbye, Mr. Lu", closed the door and left. Holding the materials given by Ding Ruo, he began to flip through them, and after reading them, he had a general understanding of the research background and situation of the subject. Then he downloaded the relevant literature on the Internet and read it, and tried to think about how to complete the research content and technical route of this topic.

Ding Ding Ding... Suddenly, the phone rang.

Who's calling?
