617. On the importance of sycophancy

Walking into the venue, Lu Wen took a look, the place was not big, only about a hundred seats, and there were tables in front of each seat with the names of people on them.

Lu Wen took a look and found that there seemed to be no signs of filling the seats for this hundred people, because there were only sixty or seventy seats with a brand.

Lu Wen and his party came in quite conspicuously, after all, the youngest people here are almost thirty or forty years old, can a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers come in without being conspicuous, and they are not wearing work clothes, which means that they should have come to participate in this seminar.

Lu Wen found their seat, which happened to be in the middle.

As soon as he sat down, there was a man in his forties and fifties, but his hair was graying, and he asked curiously, "You are also here for this biology seminar?" He was a little skeptical that these people were in the wrong place.

Lu Wen replied with a smile: "Yes, I was fortunate to get an invitation." ”

"Whose students are you?" he was even more curious, whose student was this, with such a big face, he could actually arrange his own students to come in here.

Lu Wen: "They are my students. ”

"What?" said Tao Qing didn't hear clearly.

"They were my students and they were invited to participate this time. Lu Wen was not bored, knowing how eye-catching his line of work was.

Tao Qing still didn't react, he was a little suspicious that there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise how could he always hear it wrong, but this was just his own belly, he knew that he didn't hear it wrong.

"What did you guys do to get this invitation, you know, this is the first time I've attended such a seminar. Tao Qing was a little shocked, but more curious, as for jealousy or something, there might be a little, but it was only a little, and even he couldn't detect it.

People like Tao Qing are people who concentrate on research, and they may not have so much research on human affairs, and they don't have much jealousy.

Lu Wen replied with a smile: "It's just some small achievements, by the way, get to know me, my name is Lu Wen." ”

"Hello, my name is Tao Qing, and I am currently working at the National Institute of Biology. Tao Qing also stretched out his hand and said.

"Brother Lu, where do you work, and what direction do you mainly study?" Tao Qing continued to ask, he didn't mean anything else, nor did he mean to show off, just pure curiosity.

Lu Wen: "I opened a small college in Hong Kong City, and now I am serving as the dean and part-time teacher in it. ”

"What is the name of the little academy? Brother Lu is really young and promising. Tao Qing sighed, he has done research, rarely cares about the outside world, and can be said to know nothing about Lu Wen.

Lu Wen introduced the Starry Sky Academy a little and asked, "Which direction is Brother Tao focusing on now?"

Tao Qing didn't hide it, introduced his research direction, halfway through it, and directly said a question that he wanted to discuss with Lu Wen, this is an occupational disease, sometimes when he eats at home, he can ask his father, who is nearly seventy years old and illiterate, these questions.

However, he was honest after being knocked a few times by the old man with a cane, but this problem can't be changed.

During this time, in order to teach Wang Nan and a few of them, Lu Wen did not learn much about biology, and it was still okay to answer Tao Qing's question, and then he brought Wang Nan and a few people in, and several people began to discuss the problem here.

This kind of scene is not a rare scene here, it can be said that this is the theme here, most of the people here are discussing problems, and there is very little idle talk.

And Wang Nan and the others discussed more with Tao Qing, and slowly relaxed the tension in their hearts, and there was no longer the nervousness at the beginning.

Wang Nan They can be said to be basically the same kind of people as Tao Qing, they are all people who are bored to study, but Tao Qing's age is here after all, even if it is the first time to participate in such a seminar, but he can also maintain his composure, and there must be a lot of meetings attended by others, although they can't reach this basic, but the number is here, and the scale is definitely bigger than this.

Of course, the influence and level must not be compared with this.

A few people chatted happily here, and it didn't take long for the moderator to appear on the stage and inform them that the seminar was about to start.

Just when Lu Wen thought that the host was going to say a lot, he saw the host come to the stage and said: "Next, I would like to invite Director Zhao of the National Institute of Biology to speak." After saying this, he went down, and sat directly down, as if he was not ready to go up.

This is not the host at all, it is just a person who has been temporarily arrested for attending the meeting.

Lu Wen saw that Director Zhao, who was full of silver frost but full of energy, came to the stage, and didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Originally, I was going to start directly, but some people said that every beginning is not good, so I came up, okay, the seminar officially starts below." ”

Lu Wen is really a little dumbfounded now, this is too simple, is this really a biology seminar of this level?

However, he also has some sincere admiration, this is the person who really engages in research, never comes to the hypocrisy, and goes straight to the point.

Most of the people in the audience had indifferent expressions, maybe in their opinion, the meeting should be like this, and it is better to spend so much time on the opening ceremony, it is better to think more about the problem and do more experiments to make sense.

Tao Qing saw the strangeness on Lu Wen's face, and said to him in a low voice: "This is how our director is, or we are engaged in research meetings, whether it is our biological research institute or other research institutes, except for some leaders who come to inspect, they will carry out the process that you think is normal, otherwise anyone who is like that will be scolded by someone for wasting time." ”

Lu Wen nodded and said: "This is the person who is really engaged in research, and he is really convinced." ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Tao Qing continue: "Don't think that we can't speak, or can't make sycophants, sometimes we are much better than you people." ”

Lu Wen showed an interested look and said, "What do you say?"

Hearing Lu Wen's question, Tao Qing said a little proudly: "For example, when I competed with my colleagues last time, we were not competing for any position, but for research funds, you must know that although the annual research funds seem to be a lot, they are not much for each of us, so I went to pat our boss's ass, hehe, I got the funds, I was able to come here this time, this funding is a great help, if there is no this funding, my research will not produce results so quickly." ”

Lu Wen looked at Tao Qing with a smug face, a little shocked!
