Chapter 12: Indecent Exposure
Lao Li is the president of Jinghua University, Li Zhenggang, this person is over the age of sixties, strong physique, a martial artist, just a martial artist, speaking of his literacy, in the Chinese education circle is very appreciative: some say that he is elegant and decent, through the past and the present, from astronomy to geography, all have strengths; Some people say that he took advantage of the new wind of educational reform, changed the system, emphasized substance, and had the ability to be a general; Others say that he makes good use of people, can educate people, and can gather people. In short, it is such a doer who only recognizes the actual performance and repeatedly makes strange moves, which makes tens of thousands of teachers and students in the school admire him.
Nearly 20 people, basically the most respected people in the academies of Beijing University, everyone sat around an oval conference table, the microphone on the table has been prepared, the meeting was presided over by Secretary Wang Sanqiang, President Li Zhenggang made a leading speech.
"Comrades, I have gathered you together today, and there are three main things to be announced."
"First of all, welcome our Comrade Mao Bowen back safely!"
"I'll just say, you Mao Bowen is such a talented person, how can you say that you are missing and missing? To tell the truth, it's okay for us to be without me Li Zhenggang, but it's not okay without you Mao Bowen. In terms of knowledge, I Li Zhenggang sighed to myself, in terms of practice, you are a banner of our Wuhan University, you represent the spirit of our Wuhan University, the spirit of seeking and fearless, and will not fall down in the face of great difficulties. Do you know that in the past ten days, everyone has been worried about you, and now this is a fall. Especially Dr. Jin, he has always been full of guilt," Li Zhenggang said while looking sideways at Jin Jian: "Old Jin, now you can also sleep well." ”
"By the way, Lao Jin, let me tell you good news, your conjecture has been published in the 'Natural Science Journal', and I heard that the response is very strong."
"The second thing is that the candidates for academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have also been basically determined, and we plan to send a letter today." When Li Zhenggang said this, everyone consciously focused their attention on Mao Bowen and Jin Jian, who are candidates for academicians, which symbolize the most shining peak of science, who can finally win the championship?
"Principal Yu, did Lao Xu send the document?"
Yu Jingchun was stunned for a moment, nodded, got up and looked for it, and soon, he handed the document to Li Zhenggang, and at the same time he took out a few copies of the "Natural Science News" that he had just sent, flipped through them, and sure enough, Jin Jian's masterpiece was vivid. Because the number of copies is not enough, everyone takes turns to browse.
Li Zhenggang opened the document he had just received, which was the list of the Academician Selection Committee of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, of which one from Jinghua University was selected. The corners of his mouth twitched when he saw the name. Hey, it's him. But how do you make the announcement?
"Ladies and gentlemen, this list is actually not unfamiliar to everyone, and in the past few days when Dr. Mao Bowen fell off the cliff, everyone has been putting forward their own opinions on the candidates. I would like to say that no matter who is chosen, he is the pride of our Beijing University. Of course, I would like to emphasize one point. Li Zhenggang paused, his expression was very solemn: "This is not a one-shot deal, if you don't choose, we can choose again in two years." ”
He turned his gaze to Mao Bowen: "Bowen, you are an old professor, you can take a look at this document first." ”
Mao Bowen swept everyone's eyes, understood in his heart, looked at the list, and sure enough, originally, he had been missing for so many days, they must have thought that they had no hope of survival, who would choose a dead man as a candidate, maybe, but in order for Wuhan University to have a broader space for development, it is obviously unwise to choose this way. Why will I be re-elected in two years, I am already close to the age limit of sixty-five years old, Lao Li He does not announce the list, it is clear that this is to give himself a step, don't you have the ability to bear it, Dr. Mao couldn't help but smile, and turned his head to look at Jin Jian:
"Old Jin, congratulations!"
At this time, it happened that the "Natural Science Daily" was in the hands of Mao Bowen, and Lao Jin's "masterpiece" was published in a prominent position on the third page.
I really don't know if I don't read it, and I was shocked when I saw it, the content of this article is the same as the one in my notebook, except for the conjecture written at the end because of the inspiration I gave him, almost not a word has been changed. I thought that Jin Jian would not do this no matter how bold he was, but the day before yesterday, I heard him talk about it, thinking that he was just borrowing some of his own concepts, in that case, he had no right to interfere, and now it seems that he completely ignored the warning he wrote "not to publish".
No, I have to find a way to stop it, but now that it's all done, what should I do? If the movement is small, it may not help, it seems that there is only sorry for the brother, don't blame the brother, after all, the internal situation is "not enough for outsiders".
Jin Jian also stared at Lao Mao, looking at each other, one was a little nervous, and the other was serious. Two encounters, the winner has been decided.
"Academician Jin, did you write this article?" Dr. Mao asked.
Everyone was praising Jin Jian vigorously, and when they heard Lao Mao's words, they couldn't help but calm down.
"Mao ...... Dr. Mao, about the specific process of writing this article, I have always wanted to communicate with you, you have been missing for more than ten days, so I ...... I'll publish it on my own. If you have any guidance, we will discuss it together after the meeting. ”
"I'm not saying that I have any opinions, Lao Jin, but I'm saying that this article lacks factual basis and is very unrealistic, and it can be very different from the purpose of our scientists to pursue seeking truth from facts."
"'Guess'! Old Mao, "Secretary Wang felt the smell of gunpowder in Mao Bowen's words and wanted to pour out the fire. "It's just a conjecture, don't be so persistent, and besides, what we do in science is to break the conjecture and use facts to verify the conjecture, isn't 'Goldbach' also a conjecture, and now it has not been confirmed step by step."
"Secretary Wang, in fact, I'm not talking about Lao Jin, I'm talking about myself, I originally thought this article was absurd, and I never thought of publishing it, maybe Lao Jin saw that I had been missing for more than ten days, which confirmed the possibility of 'conjecture'. So he published it for me. ”
Everyone was surprised when they heard Mao Bowen say this, does this mean that Jin Jian's article plagiarized him? Look at Jin Jian, at this time his eyes were on the ceiling, and he did not deny or express it at all.
"Lao Mao, in front of so many people, you can't joke casually." Secretary Wang Sanqiang also wants to try to calm down the situation.
"Lao Mao, do you have any evidence for saying that?" I don't know who said it.
"Jokes? Evidence? Mao Bowen was secretly ruthless in his heart, and pretended to be angry, and threw out the notebook in his arms with a "snap", "Look, am I joking?" ”
The conference room suddenly became a lot quieter, Jin Jian obviously couldn't sit still, how did this notebook come back to his hand, Ting Zhi came to the house to help yesterday, right? It seems that today he is going to make his own ugliness, in terms of qualifications, he can't compare, and in terms of ability, he can't compare. Who can give up the name of this academician lightly? Lao Mao, Lao Mao, I am at fault, you can't humiliate me like this.
"Ring Ring Ring Ring" The silence was broken by the ringing of the phone in the conference room.
"Hello? I'm Li Zhenggang, what? Radio turned on? Not off? Okay, I got it. Li Zhenggang looked at Mao Bowen and frowned helplessly.
"It is estimated that someone broadcast the loudspeaker yesterday, Principal Wu, you go to the radio room on the fourth floor to have a look."
Everyone suddenly understood that the microphone in the conference room was connected to the broadcast room, and I don't know who turned on the speaker in the broadcast room, which was equivalent to broadcasting every breath in the conference room.
Everyone looked at Jin Jian together, and the entire conference room suddenly seemed extremely quiet.
"Principal Li, I'm not feeling well, take a leave of absence." Jin Jian glanced at Mao Bowen, and walked out without waiting for Li Zhenggang to speak.
There was a brief silence in the conference room.
