Chapter 1677: Chapter 1681: I’m Not Qualified! (Second Update)
“Goodbye, my science, my academy!”
This sentence has directly caused so many people to break into tears!
Once upon a time, these were our beliefs.
And now, faith collapses under the pressure of life.
Science is still belief, but we dare not believe anymore because I can’t afford to believe!
Just like I can’t afford a car, can’t afford a house.
I can’t afford to believe!
“Goodbye, my science, my academy!”
Below the post, there are many replies, even flooding the screen.
“Reporting from a certain obese physics academy researcher!”
“Reporting from xx biomedical academy researcher!”
…
In an instant, this place became a check-in spot.
Someone once said, the more crowded a place is, the more bitterness there is.
The visible prosperity ultimately cannot hide the invisible bitterness.
Originally, people didn’t understand, but now.
Looking at familiar faces, everyone stares at the text, already teary-eyed.
What they are bidding farewell to is not something else, but their past beliefs.
What moves them to tears is not something else, but their past.
They want to bow to their former self, say: “You’ve worked hard!”
They also want to toast to their past dreams, say: “I’m sorry!”
Dreams are always out of reach, oh spring, where are you?
We’ve waited a year and another season, but eventually withered away in winter.
“I’m 35 years old this year, my child is 5 years old, my wife is 33.”
“I hold a household registration in the capital, yet I can’t enjoy the capital’s benefits.”
“Others’ envy brings me a sense of pressure.”
“I can’t go home because I’m afraid of being looked down upon.”
“Elementary school classmates’ children are already in elementary school, some even starting junior high; college classmates who didn’t make it to graduate school have switched to pharmaceuticals, and now they’re regional managers, driving Wranglers, living in villas, buying houses in the capital, and have prepared study-abroad funds for their children.”
“I never attend reunions, because I’m so afraid of my façade being unveiled, exposing my false prosperity and impoverished dreams.”
“When with friends, we mostly talk about children, because we don’t dare to touch upon dreams.”
“Now, I finally understand a saying: How can one dare enter prosperity with poverty, how can one dare disappoint a fine person with empty sleeves.”
“As a husband, I am unworthy,
As a father, I am unworthy,
As a son, I am unworthy!”
“This drink’s for you, my former self, full of passion, forging ahead bravely, donning a white coat, humble yet great!”
“I’m sorry, teacher, I’ve let you down with your appreciation and cultivation.
I used to sometimes sneer at your cringing before leaders.
But now I’ve realized: You maintained your beliefs throughout life with poverty!”
…
…
The person writing this confession also did not shy away, directly pasting an offer below.
This is an invitation letter from California, USA!
The offered salary is an annual income of 200,000 US Dollars.
Seeing this news, no one blamed the person.
No one can blame.
If the harvest and effort are disproportionate, how long can such persistence last?
Qi Lianshan sat in the office, sighing.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences is a rank equivalent to the Ministry level.
Equal to the Ministry of Education, directly controlled by China’s State Council.
Who could have thought this would happen?
In fact…
Resignation is not the first time, but this time the number is indeed quite large.
Although these people haven’t left yet.
But…
External comments are already overwhelming.
Now it must be addressed in time, otherwise, if it really reaches the end, don’t let it spiral out of control.
In the office, Yu Shuangyong and Zhang Mu remained silent, somewhat speechless.
“Sigh…”
No one knows who sighed first.
The other two followed with a long sigh of “Sigh.”
This issue is beyond their ability to solve.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences, such a scientific research institute, is a top-level unit, equivalent to a regional governor.
This means many people will flock to it.
However, the entrenched environment, even as the president of the Academy, Qi Lianshan, cannot control it.
“Goodbye, my science, my academy!” Qi Lianshan muttered to himself, feeling a lump in his throat.
“Sigh… Don’t blame the kids!”
With a long sigh, the old man slowly and leisurely muttered to himself:
“It’s our fault for not giving them the backbone.”
Qi Lianshan is only 63 this year, but he looks like a seventy-year-old man, his hair long gone, his complexion poor due to long nights.
Zhang Mu couldn’t help but say: “Director, everyone hasn’t resigned yet.”
“I… I haven’t approved.”
Qi Lianshan sighed: “It doesn’t matter if I approve.”
“I can still carry… the blame!”
After saying this, Zhang Mu and Yu Shuangyong suddenly noticed that the old man’s back was hunched over, was he old?
This matter requires someone to be responsible.
With such a big incident, Zhang Mu simply can’t hold it together.
“Professor Zhang, don’t worry, this matter won’t affect you.”
Although Qi Lianshan’s voice was aged, it was resolute.
Zhang Mu sighed: “Director, I’m not afraid of taking the blame.”
But, at this moment, Zhang Mu suddenly said:
“Director, indeed… we still have a chance, I haven’t approved their resignations.”
“I told them to give me a week, if I can’t solve the problems, I agree they can leave.”
Qi Lianshan paused: “A week? Why?”
Zhang Mu blushed, yet didn’t speak.
Yu Shuangyong couldn’t help but exclaim: “Old Zhang, are you… are you crazy? Do you really believe Chen Cang can bring you a research institute?”
“This is simply not a problem that billions can solve!”
“This… Sigh! How did you grow naïve?”
Upon hearing these words, Qi Lianshan became curious: “What’s going on?”
Only then did Zhang Mu recount the incident of Chen Cang visiting the research institute that day.
After listening, Qi Lianshan’s eyes lit up!
But…
He quickly sighed.
It’s too difficult.
Moreover, if the government isn’t resolute, research is ultimately unfair.
What’s needed isn’t just funds, but also the research environment.
Can Chen Cang provide it?
Too difficult!
It’s a pity, if Chen Cang had a few more years to grow to a certain level, maybe he really could create a world of his own.
But…
Currently, he hasn’t fully spread his wings…
Moreover, this massive, entrenched network cannot be changed overnight!
What’s needed is bold action and courageous determination to exhaust everything!
Moreover, government cooperation is required.
Unity from top to bottom is needed.
A leading figure is also needed.
Chen Cang can be the leading figure, but…
Which leader has the resolve to carry out bold and decisive reform?
