Chen Cheng's happy days were disrupted by a phone call from Zhang Zhimin.

"Xiao Chen, something is wrong, come to Principal Zhao's office."

Zhang Zhimin's tone on the other end of the phone was urgent, and Chen Cheng had already guessed the general situation.

He calmly made a phone call with Professor Yu Chang'an of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences before rushing to the president's office.

Pushing the door in, Zhao Feng and Zhang Zhimin both looked at him with anxious eyes.

"Xiao Chen, the Institute of Agricultural Sciences officially sent us a letter, determining that our 14% increase in rice yield was academic fraud, and now we will cancel all scientific research projects in cooperation with us, and we will also be held financially responsible!"

Zhao Feng looked at Chen Cheng without the slightest hint of reproach.

It's not that he is generous, how can he be generous when the school's reputation is financially damaged.

It's just that only Chen Cheng can handle this situation now.

Chen Cheng sat down at the table, took the letter over and read it carefully, and then said slowly: "It seems that Han Buping really did something about the verification test. ”

Zhao Feng and Zhang Zhimin's eyes widened at the same time.

"Xiao Chen, how can you conclude that he did something wrong, not that our experiment was wrong?" Zhao Feng asked.

"Principal Zhao, I have sufficient evidence to prove it, but I can't say it until the matter is completely investigated." Chen Cheng said seriously.

"Well, okay then." Zhao Feng dispelled the idea of asking questions and continued: "How do we respond to this situation now? ”

He subconsciously looked at Chen Cheng, and for some reason, he was now pinning all his hopes on this young man.

Only by proving his innocence as soon as possible can Hanxi Nongda reduce its losses.

If most of the research projects are halted, their school will really not be far from being relegated.

But how can this innocence prove itself?

Since the Institute of Agricultural Sciences has sent this letter in its real identity, it means that the director level is aware of this matter.

They didn't stand in the way, they already showed their attitude.

Therefore, they can't go to the Agricultural Science Institute to complain, otherwise they will be in the mouth of a sheep.

Zhang Zhimin and Chen Cheng are both smart people, so they naturally understand them.

"Otherwise, let's go to the superior competent unit of the Agricultural Institute, the Provincial Department of Agricultural Sciences, right?" Zhang Zhimin tried to ask.

Zhao Feng waved his hand and said, "It's not suitable." The Department of Agricultural Sciences is in charge of agricultural development, and they will not interfere in this kind of scientific research and academic affairs.

Besides, people are subordinate and subordinate relationships, what about us? It does not matter! ”

After hearing this, Zhang Zhimin's face was gloomy, and he also looked at Chen Cheng.

In the expectant eyes of the two, Chen Cheng said slowly: "Then use magic to fight magic." ”

Zhao Feng: ???

Zhang Zhimin: ???

"I mean the business of academia, then it will be solved in academia." Chen Cheng said.

"I still don't quite understand." Zhao Feng said.

Chen Cheng explained: "I am going to visit Academician Zhou Kai and prove to him that our experiment is not fake. ”

Zhao Feng was shocked: "You mean Academician Zhou Kai, who created the Gang-type sterile line hybrid rice?" ”

Chen Cheng nodded, as a major in agricultural technology, he naturally knew Academician Zhou Kai very well.

Zhou Kai devoted his life to the research of hybrid rice, and was known as the 'father of hybrid rice in the Western Han Dynasty', and the rice widely cultivated in the Western Han Dynasty [1] was the hybrid rice of the Gang-type sterile line that he cultivated.

Because of the vast territory of Huaxia, the altitude and temperature of various places are surprising, and a single rice variety cannot be applied to the whole country.

Therefore, most of the researchers are based on the climatic characteristics of the region and develop rice varieties that are in line with the local rice development characteristics, so as to steadily increase the national rice yield.

This has also promoted the good situation of a hundred schools of thought competing for rice planting technology in China.

People in real life don't feel it.

One or two cents of rice, how cheap.

But who would have thought that such a cheap price of grain would be deducted little by little by these scientific researchers who have been buried in the fields all their lives.

"You little kid, Academician Zhou Kai is so busy, will he meet you?" Zhang Zhimin questioned.

Chen Cheng said: "Professor Yu Chang'an of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences has already recommended it for me in advance. ”

Zhao Feng said happily: "That's good, you hurry up, I'll ask the logistics department to send you a special car." ”

Chen Cheng got up and went back to prepare materials and evidence, and Zhao Feng called the logistics office to ask for a car.

"This kid is good, he can catch the line of Academician last week." Zhao Feng smiled.

Zhang Zhimin sighed: "Over the years, I have been on the front line of education, and I have found that the growth of some young people is often just a thought. As long as the mind is clear, the level of ability will go up all at once.

Chen Cheng's kid is a typical example. ”

Zhao Feng nodded in agreement and said, "Lao Zhang, if Xiao Chen doesn't handle this matter well in the end, the two of us have to be prepared to take the blame."

No matter what, he must keep Xiao Chen, and don't let Han Buping ruin his future. ”

"yes, he should have a great future."

Even though he may not be able to fight Han Buping, Zhang Zhimin's heart is indescribably happy at this time, because Chen Cheng is his disciple no matter how good he is.

Blue is better than blue, which is a teacher's most simple value.

For Chen Cheng, he is willing to give up his reputation in the industry for more than 30 years.

......

Academician Kai Zhou's research institute is Hanxi University. Chen Cheng sat in a special car, and after the driver showed his ID when he entered the gate of Han University, the security guard of Han University actually saluted him in the back seat.

This made Chen Cheng stunned.

It is worthy of Henda, and even the security guards are so good at doing things.

Looking at the black car in the distance, the security guard sighed in his heart: "Being able to sit in a special car at such a young age is extraordinary." ”

"Hum" Chen Cheng was inexplicable, and gained a little prestige again.

When he arrived at Academician Zhou Kai's Western Han Rice Technology Research Institute, Chen Cheng entered the hall, reported his name, and the front desk took him to Academician Zhou Kai's office.

"Academician Zhou has a small meeting inside, please wait outside." The front desk instructed him.

Chen Cheng nodded and stood obediently at the door.

After all, it was the first time in his life to meet an academician, and no one was nervous.

After waiting for a while, several people inside walked out, all with heavy faces.

Chen Cheng knocked on the door apprehensively.

"Come in." An old man's voice came from inside.

Chen Cheng walked into the room and saw an old man in his eighties sitting on the guest sofa, and a middle-aged man in his thirties standing next to him.

"Hello Academician Zhou, my name is Chen Cheng, and Professor Ding Changan recommended me to meet you."

Chen Cheng bowed, made an introduction, and stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai bowed slightly, and was just about to get up, but was stopped by the middle-aged man next to him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou's health is not too good, and it is inconvenient to get up." He said.

Chen Cheng hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was reckless." ”

Zhou Kai waved his hand and said, "It's okay, young man." I have a bit of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems, and I get up and bend over to get dizzy. Come, come and sit down and say. ”

He patted the couch beside him.

Chen Chengcheng walked up to him and sat down in fear, but Zhou Kai looked at him with a smile on his face.

Zhou Kai's hair is gray, and although his face is full of vicissitudes, he still has the elegant temperament of a scholar.

Looking at his kind smile, Chen Cheng's restraint and nervousness suddenly vanished.

It turns out that academicians are not so high-minded!
