From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 37 Rewards
"Comrade Zhang Qihua, you are outstanding. On behalf of the school, I would like to express my recognition for your efforts and contributions to the school. For your achievements, the school committee has decided to give you a reward of 20 yuan. I hope you will continue to work hard. Create greater success.”

Qi Zhenhai said with a smile on his face, holding Zhang Qihua's hand.

Ren Yishan, director of the science and technology department of the school next to him, handed over a special bonus of 20 yuan.

Someone from the school publicity office nearby clicked on the flashlight.

"Thank you to the principal, thank you to the school, thank you to the dean, thank you to Director Tian for cultivating me..."

Zhang Qihua thanked him mechanically. He was actually not very good at socializing in this area. He didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only keep thanking him.

Qi Zhenhai didn't feel dissatisfied and seemed to be very close to the people. He held Zhang Qihua's hand, listened with a smile, and chatted cordially with Zhang Qihua, asking for his welfare.

"Principal, this time Teacher Zhang has made our school look bad. You don't know. Academician Fu Mingli from the Mathematics Center of Tunghai University just called and asked Teacher Zhang to go to their place. He also said that he would give Teacher Zhang a researcher What about the salary and the title of full professor!”

Seeing that Qi Zhenhai was in a good mood, Tian Fangyi intervened at the right time.

The smile on Qi Zhenhai's face faltered, but soon returned to normal.

"Haha, look, I didn't just think of this!"

"Teacher Zhang, actually I haven't finished what I just said. For your outstanding contribution, the school has decided to apply for the title of full professor as an exception. The school has already prepared the relevant materials and is waiting for the review by the Professional Title Qualification Committee at the end of the year. Don’t worry, if you have such outstanding achievements, the jury will not turn a blind eye."

"By the way, in order to improve the school's mathematics research level and provide a better research environment for the school's mathematics scholars, the school has also carefully considered and decided to establish the Dongshan University Mathematics Research Center."

"Of course, in view of Mr. Zhang's level of ability in mathematics, the school has decided to hire you as the deputy director of the newly established mathematics research center and enjoy the treatment of a chief researcher."

"Establish a mathematics research center? Deputy director?"

Zhang Qihua was a little dazed.

"Yes, Teacher Zhang, this has just been decided by the school committee."

Although Qi Zhenhai said so, Tian Fangyi next to him didn't believe a word. If he hadn't fanned the flames just now, what kind of mathematics research center would Qi Zhenhai mention?
However, seeing that Qi Zhenhai is so righteous, Tian Fangyi, the chairman of the mathematics department, as a vested interest, will naturally not expose it.

"Principal Qi, on behalf of Teacher Zhang and the Department of Mathematics, I would like to thank President Qi for attaching great importance to our Department of Mathematics. With this mathematics research center, we can greatly improve the office environment and research environment of our Department of Mathematics. In this way, Our teachers in the Department of Mathematics no longer have to squeeze into narrow cubicles. Each of us can have an independent office and not be disturbed by others. This can enhance the cohesion and centripetal force of all the teachers in the Department of Mathematics, so that we can better integrate our body and mind. If you invest well in research, you can win more honors for the school. Thank you, thank you Principal Qi."

Qi Zhenhai's mouth twitched.

"Ahem, this is natural. The school has decided to open a separate floor in the newly built experimental building as the office space of the Mathematics Research Center."

After saying that, Qi Zhenhai gave Tian Fang a vague look.

Tian Fang immediately understood and knew that Qi Zhenhai was warning him. Tian Fang thought about it and felt that this was the greatest benefit Qi Zhenhai could give him. He naturally understood what is enough and immediately closed his mouth with a smile.

After expressing condolences to Zhang Qihua for a while, Qi Zhenhai finally left with a group of people from Wuyangyang.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, Lao Zhang, you are a great contributor to our mathematics department!"

Zhang Qihua scratched his head.

"Director, actually I didn't do anything. This is all Lin Mo..."

Tian Fang waved his hand.

"No, you did a good job, you recruited a good student."

"By the way, Lin Mo... You must not treat Lin Mo badly in this matter. You are his teacher. If you ask him what he needs, we will do our best to satisfy him as much as the department can! Can you contact Lin Mo? ?”

Zhang Qihua nodded and shook his head.

Nodding naturally meant that he would go back and ask Lin Mo what reward he wanted, while shaking his head meant that he had not contacted Lin Mo yet. "Then Lin Mo will leave it to you. If you need anything, just tell me directly."

"As familiar as you are with the thesis, the school has arranged several interviews with the media in the afternoon. You should prepare well and make sure not to expose any flaws. Don't turn a good thing into a bad thing."

"Ah."

……

"What's going on with Lin Mo? Why can't the phone call get through?"

"Is something wrong?"

Zhang Qihua held the mobile phone in his hand, his face full of worry.

At this moment, Zhang Qihua's cell phone rang.

"Hello, Teacher Zhang, I am Fu Mingli of Donghai University. I am at Dongshan University now. Can I meet you conveniently?"

Zhang Qihua wanted to refuse, but the other party's next words made him unable to refuse.

"Teacher Zhang, I heard that you have a student named Lin Mo who wants to be admitted to our Donghai University as a graduate student. I thought maybe we could talk."

After half an hour.

A coffee shop outside the east gate of Dongshan University.

Zhang Qihua walked in.

"Hello, Academician Fu, I am Zhang Qihua."

Seeing Zhang Qihua, Fu Mingli smiled.

"Hello, Teacher Zhang, you are younger than I thought."

When Zhang Qihua, who was nearly forty, heard this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. However, facing Fu Mingli, who was already 60, Zhang Qihua was indeed considered young.

"Teacher Zhang, I have read your paper and it is very thoughtful. It can be said that it has opened up a new direction in the study of differential equations and has greatly promoted the study of differential equations. Teacher Zhang can be said to have made great achievements in the field of differential calculus." The major breakthrough made is a new authority on differential medians after Rolle, Lagrange and Cauchy!"

Fu Mingli praised Zhang Qihua without hesitation.

"No, no, Academician Fu has received the award. I don't know why you came to me..."

"I'm just very interested in your thesis. It has something to do with a project I'm working on, so I want to discuss it with Mr. Zhang."

Huang Ziqiang, who was sitting aside, was a little confused. Isn't the teacher here to recruit people?Why are you still discussing the thesis?
"I see... Academician Fu, please tell me."

Zhang Qihua felt a little nervous, and someone actually came to ask him about his thesis.

"About your mention in your paper..."

"Well, Academician Fu, I actually think so about the question you mentioned..."

After hearing Fu Mingli's question, Zhang Qihua breathed a sigh of relief. Although Fu Mingli asked some details, it happened to be what he had talked with Lin Mo before, so at this time, he was able to answer fluently.

After several rounds of back and forth discussions, Zhang Qihua finally felt relieved. Fu Mingli's problems were all within the scope of his knowledge and did not exceed the scope.
