"What, freeze all project funding!

After receiving a call from the school's Finance and Economics Department, Zhang Huaibin, director of science and technology, stood up from his seat in a hurry, and his hand holding the earpiece couldn't help but tremble a little. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It was the National Heavy Equipment Office that called to inform us, saying that they had found some problems with the research project undertaken by our school, and asked us to freeze all the project funds first, and then decide whether to unfreeze or recover all the funds after they sent someone to investigate. ”

On the other end of the phone, Chen Jinru, director of the Finance and Economics Department, said with a dark face. When she received a call from the Heavy Equipment Office early in the morning, her reaction was the same as Zhang Huaibin's, and she felt very shocked. She immediately reported the matter to Jiao Tongjian, vice president in charge, and Jiao Tongjian immediately gave two instructions: First, in accordance with the requirements of the Office of Heavy Equipment, suspend the use of funds for all projects entrusted by the Office of Heavy Equipment; second, instruct the Department of Finance and Economics and the Department of Science and Technology to jointly investigate the cause of the incident, dispel the doubts of the Office as soon as possible, and resume the use of funds.

A total of 14 projects won the bid, with a total funding of more than 2 million. Under the current situation of insufficient national investment in scientific research, the funding of more than 2 million yuan is a very large amount. In addition, the project was financed by the Equipment Science and Technology Fund, which is said to have been raised through a bond issuance in Europe, which has extraordinary political significance. It is an honor in itself to be able to undertake a project funded by this fund, and if the funds are recovered, it will be a great blow to the reputation of the school. Jiao Tongjian is well aware of these situations, so he attaches great importance to the fact that the funds are frozen.

"Director Chen, did the Heavy Equipment Office say that there was a problem with the project?" Zhang Huaibin calmed down, sat down again, and asked Chen Jinru.

Chen Jinru said: "They didn't say it, it is estimated that let's check and correct ourselves first." Principal Jiao instructed that we must find out the problems and correct them before the inspection of the rearmament office, so that the higher departments can see our sincerity in correcting our mistakes. If we don't find out ourselves, and we are finally found out by the reloading office, we will be passive. ”

"Self-examination and self-correction?" Zhang Huaibin said suspiciously, "They are not scaring us, are they?" As far as I know, the work attitude of the various departments that have undertaken the project is very serious, even if the progress is uneven, it is not a serious problem, how can there be any reason to freeze all the funds of the whole school?"

Chen Jinru said: "I don't know about this, scientific research is Director Zhang's business here, what is the specific situation, I'm afraid you are most familiar with it." Why don't you learn about the situation with each department first, and then we will report to President Jiao together?"

"Okay, then let's find out about the situation first. Zhang Huaibin responded.

Hanging up Chen Jinru's phone, Zhang Huaibin first called the science and technology departments of several other schools, and asked his acquaintances to inquire, knowing that none of these schools had been notified of the freezing of funds, that is to say, the measure of the reequipment office was only aimed at Jiaotong University.

After learning about this situation, Zhang Huaibin did not delay, and called several departments one after another, asking if there was anything wrong with the heavy equipment project they undertook. Several departments replied that everything was normal, and claimed that Director Feng, who had been refurbished the day before, had visited them to inquire about the progress of the project, and did not express any dissatisfaction.

When Zhang Huaibin called the Department of Chemical Engineering, Gao Xin did not tell him that Wang Hongtai had just reported a situation to himself, saying that Feng Xiaochen had arrived at the Department of Chemical Engineering to inquire about the progress of the ruthenium catalyst project, and also raised some questions. Wang Hongtai swore to Gao Xinwei, saying that he did not disclose the problem of the use of funds to Feng Xiaochen, and he just asked Gao Xin not to solve the follow-up funds for him as soon as possible, so that the ruthenium catalyst project could go on smoothly.

Wang Hongtai's ruthenium catalyst project!

Zhang Huaibin hit his forehead with his hand and sighed in his heart. He knew that if he was not mistaken, the project that the Heavy Equipment Office thought was problematic should be this. Regarding the misappropriation of ruthenium catalyst project funds by the Department of Chemical Engineering, Zhang Huaibin has long heard Wang Hongtai's reflection, and he has also specifically asked Gao Xin for coordination, but because it is Qu Shoulin and Wu Ronggen who embezzle the funds, Zhang Huaibin has no choice but to open one eye and close one eye. Now it seems that this matter is really a leak.

"Boss Gao, now it's troublesome, the Heavy Equipment Office just called our Finance and Economics Department, asking the Finance and Economics Department to freeze all the project funds they have allocated. I've just learned about it, and there are no big problems with the other departments, and I guess the main problem is with you. Wang Hongtai's ruthenium catalyst project is the highest amount of funding in the whole school, and it is obviously the most important topic of the Heavy Equipment Office, but you have embezzled the funds, can people not be annoyed?" Zhang Huaibin said on the phone.

"However, we can't be regarded as misappropriation, Qu Shoulin and Wu Ronggen are the leaders of the research group, and they also have the right to use these funds. Gosin didn't argue.

Zhang Huaibin said angrily: "Director Gao, is it interesting for you to say this? What is the fact, even if people don't know, do you think I won't know? This topic was obviously applied for by Wang Hongtai, and you let Qu Shoulin and them get involved, and they don't understand this direction, what role can they play? I heard that Wang Hongtai wants to buy a batch of experimental materials and equipment, but you are stuck and disagree, isn't this a blatant obstruction to the implementation of the project?"

"It's also to blame for our lack of thought in the first place. Gao Xinwei's attitude changed quite quickly, just as Zhang Huaibin said, this kind of thing is just to hide from outsiders, and who inside does not know what is going on? However, he still does not believe it, even if the Department of Chemical Engineering has embezzled Wang Hongtai's funds, why should the Heavy Equipment Office freeze all the funds of the whole school? Wouldn't they just freeze Wang Hongtai's funds? A better way should be for the Heavy Equipment Office to directly negotiate with the Department of Chemical Engineering, so why use such a roundabout method?

Thinking of this, he said to Zhang Huaibin again: "Director Zhang, there is no evidence to say that the Heavy Equipment Office froze the funds of our school because of our chemical engineering department, right? If there is really something wrong with our chemical engineering department, let them freeze the funds of Wang Hongtai's project, why should people attack the entire school?"

"This ...... I can't say it well. However, Director Gao, you better solve this matter as soon as possible, don't wait for others to come down and check and find out. Zhang Huaibin persuaded.

Gao Xinwei said: "Okay, let's think of a way......

He said that if he tried to find a way, there was still no way. When he relayed Zhang Huaibin's request to Qu Shoulin, Qu Shoulin glared at him and became annoyed: "What does Zhang Huaibin mean? The ruthenium catalyst project is undertaken by the Department of Chemical Engineering, so why does the Science and Technology Department say that I, Qu Shoulin, am not qualified to do it, and only Wang Hongtai is qualified? I have already arranged for my two graduate students to sort out the literature on ruthenium catalysts last month, and when the project I am working on now is over, I will prepare to do research on ruthenium catalysts. I've been doing research in this industry for more than 30 years, isn't it as high as Wang Hongtai's level?"

"However, Lao Qu, when he applied for the project, Wang Hongtai was the person in charge. People re-equip the office to recognize Wang Hongtai. Gosin did not explain.

Qu Shoulin stiffened his neck and said: "This proves that those so-called experts in the Heavy Equipment Office are bullshit, and it is completely wrong to hand over the state's funds to them." Boss Gao, you tell the Science and Technology Department, if you have any questions about the rearmament office, let them tell me directly, and I will answer them. I'm not afraid to argue with them, the truth always gets clearer the more you argue!"

"This ......," Gao Xin was speechless. He knew that once Qu Shoulin was stubborn, no one could really convince him. Scientific research is a matter of opinion, and it is difficult to make any conclusions before the results come out. You say that Wang Hongtai's research methods are valuable, how can you prove it? You Wu Shican are an expert, and Qu Shoulin is also an expert, so why can Wu Shican decide to give Wang Hongtai 500,000 yuan, but Qu Shoulin can't use these funds for his own use?

However, Gao Xinwei soon found that he didn't need to convince Qu Shoulin of them. The freezing of the funds of the rearmament office affected several departments in the school, involving sixty or seventy teachers, and caused an uproar in the school for a while. At the same time that the Finance and Economics Office informed the departments to suspend the use of the funds of the reequipment office, a rumor quickly spread in the school:

"Do you know why our funds are frozen?"

"I don't know, why did this happen, I'm still in a hurry to buy a batch of experimental materials. ”

"I'll tell you, it's because there's something like this in the Department of Chemical Engineering......"

"Really, it's too much, isn't it?"

"I heard from my student that he said it spread in their graduate school. ”

"Even if that's the case, it's a matter of the Department of Chemical Engineering, why does it affect us?"

"It's not surprising, it happened in our school, and people may suspect that there is something wrong with our school management system. ”

"This special meow is really harming the pond fish, who are we recruiting to provoke whom?"

"Isn't it, Qu Shoulin's gang is too much. ”

"No, I've got to tell him to go!"

At first, there was some skepticism about this rumor. After some teachers heard about this from their students, they went to their acquaintances in the Department of Chemical Engineering to inquire about it, and found that the rumors were indeed true. As for whether the freezing of project funds is related to the incident of the Department of Chemical Engineering, everyone has successfully deduced what it means to be a tiger in three people, and when more and more people hold this view, everyone also believes this reason.
