Chapter Seventy-Four: Start-up Funds for Doctoral Research [Third Update]

Under the leadership of Zhang Weidong, the research group has made rapid and smooth progress. Although Professor Qin Hong let Zhang Weidong take charge of the project, every week Zhang Weidong will compile a report with the latest scientific research results and his own ideas and submit it to Professor Qin Hong, so that she can keep abreast of the progress of the project (the latest chapter of Seeking Demons).

Zhang Weidong's work style won Professor Qin Hong's appreciation, so the more I looked at Zhang Weidong, the more I liked it, and every time Zhang Weidong went to her office, he always received him with a smile on his face. Even sometimes when she has any new ideas or theories in environmental science, she will specially call Zhang Weidong to the office to discuss. Professor Qin Hong is an expert in environmental science, and Zhang Weidong naturally benefited a lot from discussing with her, and at the same time deepened his understanding of Professor Qin Hong, knowing that she is a truly knowledgeable and rigorous scientist, so he has gradually become accustomed to her bright eyes when looking at herself, and will no longer speculate. As Professor Qin Hong came into contact with Zhang Weidong frequently, he became more and more surprised by the profound knowledge that did not match his age and the whimsical ideas that burst out of his mind from time to time. Although those whimsical ideas are sometimes very unreasonable and even a little ridiculous, as a scientist, what he is afraid of is not ridiculous ideas but no ideas, so Professor Qin Hong not only did not make fun of Zhang Weidong, but on the contrary, he valued and appreciated him more and more in his heart.

In this way, in just more than 20 days of working together, Professor Qin Hong, who has always been dignified and upright, unsmiling, and rigorous in his work, and Zhang Weidong, who was only 23 years old and only joined the work, actually had a feeling of sympathy for each other and hated to see each other.

Today, Professor Qin Hong's dress is exceptionally young and beautiful. Floral short-sleeved shirts, washed-white skinny jeans, and beautiful crystal high-heeled sandals bring out her plump and graceful sexy figure to the fullest.

Zhang Weidong was accustomed to Professor Qin Hong's dignified professional suit, and suddenly saw Professor Qin Hong, who had a completely different style of dressing but had an indescribable charming, mature and intellectual beauty, and couldn't help but feel that his eyes lit up, and he hurried to meet him.

"Is Professor Qin waiting for someone?" Zhang Weidong asked with a smile as he approached Professor Qin Hong.

"Yes, I'm waiting for you!" Qin Hong said with a smile.

Perhaps because of his clothes, Professor Qin Hong's smile had an indescribable charming charm, and Zhang Weidong's heart couldn't help but flutter twice, and his eyes were a little straight.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Don't you know?" Professor Qin Hong saw Zhang Weidong staring at him with straight eyes, and gave him an angry look.

"Huh. Zhang Weidong scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said with a dry smile.

Professor Qin Hong didn't seem to notice Zhang Weidong's embarrassed look, and asked casually as he walked forward, "How am I dressed today?"

"It's good-looking, it's good-looking!" Zhang Weidong praised sincerely.

"Really? Then I'm relieved, there are a few old friends going to party today. Professor Qin Hong turned his head and glanced at Zhang Weidong and said happily.

No wonder he was dressed so beautifully today, it turned out to be a gathering of old friends! Zhang Weidong said secretly.

"By the way, there's nothing urgent in the morning, is there? If not, come and sit in my office, there's something I want to ask you. Professor Qin Hong then immediately changed the subject.

"Nope. Zhang Weidong replied very dryly.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the door of the vice president's office.

Professor Qin Hong opened the door, pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down." With that, he walked to the water dispenser and turned on the power, then turned around and sat next to Zhang Weidong.

"You are a newly introduced doctor of the college, and according to the regulations, there is a 50,000 yuan doctoral research start-up fund. I don't know if you have any ideas now, whether you have it or not, I suggest that you start preparing as early as possible, so that you can not only make the most of this cost, but also help you to apply for research projects in the future. Nowadays, the competition for professional title evaluation is becoming more and more fierce, if you don't have a scientific research project that you can handle, even if you have reached the conditions for evaluating associate professors, you will not be able to be rated as an associate professor. If you need help with the project declaration, you can come to me, I will try my best to help if I can, and if the 50,000 yuan is not enough, I can also help you get some more. If the project is really good, I can also be the main participant and help you go to the provincial ministry to get the project approved. ”

Zhang Weidong couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw that Professor Qin Hong had called him into the office early in the morning for this matter, especially what she said later.

After studying and graduating with a doctorate, he still knew that the teachers in the university seemed to be harmonious with each other, but in fact, they were often fighting for limited scientific research project funds. Many teachers have been engaged in scientific research for many years and have not been able to apply for a scientific research project at or above the department or bureau level because of their personal scientific research strength, personal connections and qualifications, not only have they not been promoted to associate professors, but they also have to give other professors who have projects to get started, listen to their commands, and work day and night until they win their own scientific research projects.

Zhang Weidong is a new face in the scientific research community, and if he wants to apply for a scientific research project as an independent project leader, if the project is not particularly meaningful, it is very likely that the project reviewers will not be approved because of the lack of confidence in the newcomers, and thus will not be able to get the opportunity to establish the project. But if we can get the strong support and struggle of Qin Hong, a professor with a certain authority and influence in environmental protection, it is obvious that the chances of passing will be much greater.

"Thank you, Professor Qin, on the issue of project establishment, I have been thinking about it for a while, and I am also looking through the information. I found that our province has a vast water area and is a large water resource province. However, with the development of the economy, water pollution has become more and more serious, and it can be said that it has reached a miserable point. Although the government has also spent a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with it, the results are not satisfactory. Therefore, I would like to conduct research on the multi-means comprehensive treatment and sustainable control technology of water pollution. Zhang Weidong said.

Professor Qin Hong's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and then he fell into deep thought, and then raised his head and said after a while: "Your idea is very good and of practical significance, but this project is too big, and it will definitely take a lot of manpower and capital investment to do it well, and your scientific research results will definitely be verified and applied in practice, so it will not be a simple matter." You see if this will work, you should first use the 50,000 yuan doctoral start-up fund to do some laboratory theoretical research in the comprehensive management of multiple means, and strive to come up with preliminary scientific research results in the first half of next year. Then I will go with you to the province to seek funding for the project, and conduct further research in this area. If this research can be successful, then we can find a small area of water pollution source in the city through the city government to deal with it, if it can be successful, hehe, then you Zhang Weidong will become a big man. ”

Zhang Weidong also knew that this topic was relatively large and general, and it was really not easy for a newcomer to do a good job, so he didn't dare to take it out to discuss with Professor Qin Hong. Now that Professor Qin Hong said this, his heart was completely relaxed, and he said: "It doesn't matter if you become a big person or not, if you can really make some contributions to environmental protection in this regard, I will be very satisfied." You don't know, when I was young, I could see a clear river as soon as I left the house, and I could swim by jumping into it in the summer. Now, the smell of the smell can make people feel sick, and it hurts!"

"yes. When I was in Germany, I saw that the river was so clear and the sky was so blue, and when I thought about the situation in China, I felt a pang of heartache. ”

The atmosphere in the office fell into a brief silence as the topic unfolded. After a while, Zhang Weidong broke the silence and said, "If there is nothing else, I'll go back to the office first." I will write a detailed application report to you as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, then you can get busy. Professor Qin Hong nodded.

Leaving the vice president's office, Zhang Weidong pushed open the door of the 303 office with a computer bag on his back.
