Chapter 368 Meeting One of Your Own Is Not a Good Thing! (5K Votes Requested, Please Follow Up)

On the other side, after Shan Xing saw Amira's actions, he couldn't help but said to Zheng Yang: "Zheng Yuan, has your daughter come back?"

"I guess she needs to work harder recently."

Zheng Yang smiled bitterly: "Unless she is transferred to Luo Gong's project, it will be difficult."

"What's so difficult about recruiting people to work on projects?"

"Isn't this easy for you?"

Zheng Yang showed a knowing smile.

But the smile didn't last long before he thought of something important.

"Tell me, my daughter is studying the field of robotics. Which project would be better for her to be transferred to?"

Shan Xing was also stunned.

The three projects of space transfer station, muon collider, and energy shield do not seem to be suitable.

After pondering for a while, Shan Xing said sincerely: "Old Zheng, there is no other choice but to sacrifice your daughter. She will have to go to heaven in the future."

Zheng Yang:......

After Luo Yao and Amira finished chatting, their brains were well released, so they returned to the hotel room and fell asleep with their heads covered.

Luo Yao slept until morning when he was woken up by Xiao Moss' notification.

[Academician Luo, you have received an appointment email (*￣︶￣)]

Luo Yao lay on the bed with his eyes closed and did not get up. He asked: "What appointment?"

[Director Xie of the Education Center would like to make an appointment to meet you this afternoon. 】

Luo Yao opened his eyes and asked, "Didn't you say anything?"

"He said he wanted to meet and talk."

Apart from previously cooperating with the education center to deploy the artificial intelligence teaching system, Luo Yao had never had any contact with the education center. He was curious about what the other party would say, so he agreed.

When he returned to the Capital Research Institute in the afternoon, Director Xie came to the door with his things.

Luo Yao looked at the gift in his hand, and an alarm automatically sounded in his head.

Director Xie has done so many things. Are you trying to trouble him this time?

Sure enough, Director Xie put down the gift in his hand with a smile and said: "Academician Luo, this is a small gift from our education center. I hope you can accept it. I came to you this time because I really want to ask you for help with something. "

Luo Yao sat on the sofa in the living room and did not move, just looking at each other.

Director Xie was a little embarrassed, but he still said it.

"I would like to ask you to take some time to attend the review meeting of Yangtze River Scholars recently."

Luo Yao listened to Director Xie's request without showing any joy on his face.

He didn't answer directly, but pondered for a moment.

Participating in the review meeting of Yangtze River Scholars is indeed an honor and an important responsibility for ordinary experts.

But, he really didn't care.

The recent work schedule is also very tight, and it is difficult to find time to attend such meetings.

He raised his head, looked at Director Xie, and said frankly: "Director Xie, I am very grateful for your trust and invitation to me. However, I must tell you that my recent work schedule has been quite full, and I am afraid it will be difficult to spare some time." It’s time to attend the review meeting of Yangtze River Scholars.”

After hearing this, Director Xie showed an anxious look on his face and said, "Academician Luo, if you don't participate this time, it will be difficult for us to continue our work!"

"I hope you will take some time to attend, otherwise it will be difficult for us to do business!"

Luo Yao looked at Director Xie's anxious expression and couldn't help but feel suspicious. He knew his academic status and influence, but he also knew that he was not the only one who was responsible for the evaluation of Yangtze Scholars. Director Xie's words seemed to reveal something different. ordinary meaning.

He frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Director Xie, can you tell me why I have to participate in this review meeting? You should have done similar review work before. Don't you have any candidates?"

Director Xie's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but then returned to normal.

He sighed and said, "Academician Luo, to tell you the truth, this review meeting is indeed very special."

"Not only because the scholars participating in the evaluation are all the best in the industry, but also because the review participants...several of them are from your alma mater. If other experts are allowed to review, they will inevitably give in in order not to offend you."

"Are you worried that others will let you go so as not to offend me?"

"This shouldn't be possible, because even if they let go, they can't get anything from me?" Luo Yao asked in confusion.

“Would people do things that go against their profession for something they can’t get?”

When Director Xie heard this, he shook his head helplessly. He knew that Luo Yao usually didn't care about the world, so he could only explain: "Academician Luo, in academia, reputation and status are very important."

"Even if these experts do not get direct benefits from you, they will worry about offending you and affecting their reputation and status. Now, you are a leader in the field of domestic scientific research, and they are naturally unwilling to offend you for a moment of fairness. you."

"So, although they know that they should treat every participating scholar fairly and objectively, in practice, they may hold back or even give in for fear of offending you."

"This does not mean that they do things that go against their profession for what they cannot get, but that they have to make a compromise and choice in this complex human society."

"Can't you review and cross-review anonymously?" Luo Yao asked curiously.

Director Xie smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Academician Luo, the anonymous review and cross-review you proposed are indeed effective means to ensure fairness, but in actual operation, these two methods will also have some problems."

“Let’s talk about anonymous review first. Although it can protect the privacy of review experts and avoid bias and scruples due to personal identity, it may also lead to blurred responsibilities during the review process. If there is a dispute over the review results, it will be difficult for us to trace the specific details. The responsible person, which brings certain hidden dangers to the fairness of the review."

"As for cross-review, although it can increase the diversity of reviews and avoid the excessive influence of a single expert on the review results, it also requires review experts to have cross-field review capabilities."

"In academia, there are often differences in research methods and evaluation standards between different fields. If review experts are not familiar with the research fields of participating scholars, it will be difficult to make accurate and fair judgments."

"Moreover, the review objects this time all have certain scientific research capabilities, and their research results and academic contributions are still outstanding, and it is difficult to measure them by general standards."

"Even if we adopt anonymous review and cross-review methods, it is difficult to ensure that every review expert can make a fair and accurate evaluation of them."

After speaking, Director Xie glanced at Luo Yao and said the most crucial sentence: "That's why we considered inviting you, Academician Luo, to participate in this review event. With you here, I believe others are watching you make fair decisions." After making a fair judgment, you will definitely not let go easily!"

Luo Yao didn't expect that he could have such a use.

He didn't care what the other review experts thought, but Director Xie said that the people participating in the review were all outstanding, which aroused his interest.

He has three major projects to carry out next and is short of people.

It’s also nice to be able to go to the scene and gather people.

"Okay, I'll go then."

Director Xie's eyes showed surprise.

Luo Yao is willing to participate in the review work this time. It can be said that all the things he worried about before will not happen!

To put it simply, if anything goes wrong, he doesn’t have to take the blame!

"Academician Luo, your participation is of great significance to us. I believe that with your presence, this review will go smoothly." Director Xie said sincerely.

Luo Yao nodded without any special expression. After a while, Director Xie couldn't sit still anymore and found an excuse to sneak away.

Soon, the Education Center announced the list of experts for this final review.

People in academia were shocked when they saw the list.

"Academician Luo is coming to participate in the review process? Isn't he overqualified?"

"Didn't you see? Three of the people being reviewed this time are from Eastern University of Science and Technology! Academician Luo must be standing up for their school!"

"Does a person like Academician Luo want to engage in such a small trick?"

"Although he has high achievements, he is still a human being, and human beings cannot do without these worldly things!"

"Otherwise, Academician Luo has never participated in the review before, so he will participate this year?"

"It seems like it's all for those people in their school!"

Qingda University, Teaching Office.

"Do you think it's unfair for Academician Luo to participate in the evaluation?" the dean said angrily.

"It does look like it, but he seems to have been personally invited by Director Xie of the Education Center. How can I say that?"

"Indeed, Director Xie personally invited me. The weight of this is self-evident." An older teacher said slowly, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about a deeper issue.

"However, Academician Luo's academic status is indeed unmatched. His participation may enhance the authority of our review." Another teacher put forward a different view.

"Having said that, Academician Luo has a deep relationship with Eastern Polytechnic University, which will inevitably cause people to doubt." The dean still insisted on his own point of view, and his worries were not unreasonable.

"Well, this is indeed a problem." The older teacher nodded, expressing that he understood the dean's concerns, "But I think we cannot deny Academician Luo's impartiality just because of his relationship with Eastern Polytechnic University. After all, he His reputation and contributions to academia are impossible to ignore.”

The dean said "heh".

"Having more contributions doesn't mean the other party is fair. There are several people from our school participating in the review this time. I don't know how he will comment."

"Director, I understand your concerns." The older teacher said gently, "Academician Luo's reputation was not achieved overnight, but was established through academic accumulation and fair review. We cannot rely solely on his connection with Eastern Polytechnic University. Calling into question his impartiality.”

"However, the reality is complicated." The dean sighed, "Every decision made by Academician Luo may affect the interests of our school. I hope that he can be truly fair and impartial."

"Otherwise, I will report him!"

Like the teaching director in Qingbei, many heads of universities were also dissatisfied with Luo Yao's participation in the evaluation of Yangtze River Scholars.

However, at present, Luo Yao's process as a review expert is in compliance with the rules, so they can only watch and cannot stop it.

They all believed that this time East University of Science and Technology had the upper hand!

East Polytechnic.

A group of professors frowned.

"Are you saying it's outrageous? People from Yan'an University told us that the three people we applied for this time will definitely be selected. Isn't this a joke?"

"They don't understand Academician Luo very well. When has Academician Luo been so soft on selecting people?" A professor sighed, obviously puzzled by the thoughts of those at Yanda.

"Yes, Academician Luo has always treated academics with a fair and rigorous attitude. At the beginning, I remember that he did not even let their teachers' mistakes go."

"I hope Academician Luo can be a little more considerate and give his own people some face!"

"They think that East China University of Science and Technology has the upper hand. That is a complete misunderstanding." A young associate professor interjected, "Academician Luo is the kind of review expert who only looks at strength and is not humane."

"He will not favor any school just because it applies, let alone affect the evaluation results because of personal relationships. I heard that his Luo Research Society never looks at the school when recruiting people."

"That is, Academician Luo's impartiality is obvious to all in the academic world." Another professor added, "It can only be said that those people don't understand Academician Luo very well!"

"Academician Luo being a review expert is the biggest disadvantage to us, okay?"

"What should we do? I remember Professor Li, you will participate in the review this time, right? Isn't there a high probability of being screened if you meet Academician Luo?"

Professor Li stood up from his chair and said, "I'm going to argue with Principal Xiao right now. Why do we invite Luo Yao to participate in the review this time?"

"This is so unfair to us!" With that, Professor Li walked out the door.

Arriving at the door of the principal's office, Professor Li took a deep breath, straightened his tie, and knocked on the door.

After getting permission to go in, he saw Principal Xiao sitting at his desk drinking tea.

"Professor Li, what's wrong with you? Why do you look unhappy?" Principal Xiao raised his head and asked with a smile.

Professor Li walked to his desk and said tangledly: "Principal Xiao, why did you invite Academician Luo to participate in this review? This is so unfair to us!"

Principal Xiao couldn't laugh when he heard this.

"This...this is not our decision."

"In case this is a good thing for us, Academician Luo is one of our own after all!"

Professor Li looked at him and asked seriously: "Principal Xiao, are you serious about this?"

"For the first time, I don't think meeting one of my own is a good thing!"

Principal Xiao blinked, smiled awkwardly, and then said with a serious look: "Professor Li, although Academician Luo is strict, his evaluation standards and vision are very high."

"If our scholars can pass his review and be recognized, it will undoubtedly be a great affirmation of their academic level, which will be extremely beneficial to improving the reputation of our school and the personal development of scholars."

"Do you think Academician Luo can really let us pass?"

Principal Xiao hesitated.

If it were anyone else, he could guarantee that.

But if it were Luo Yao, he would have no idea.

"Don't worry, Lao Li. Director Xie made the decision on this matter, and there is definitely a reason for it. Let's stop guessing here!" After Principal Xiao sent Professor Li away, he still felt uneasy.

If Luo Yao really raised the evaluation standards this time, wouldn't the three people in their school be wiped out?

After thinking about it, Principal Xiao simply went out to find Director Xie.

Principal Xiao drove straight to the office building where Director Xie was located and called Director Xie to say that he wanted to meet, but Director Xie said he was not in the office.

Principal Xiao took his mobile phone, slowly climbed the stairs to the third floor, and then knocked on the door of Director Xie's office.

After he knocked a few times, the door opened, revealing Director Xie's embarrassed face.

"Old Xiao, why did you come right here? I was just about to go out." Director Xie explained.

Principal Xiao did not expose the other party, but just said: "Director Xie, if you invite Academician Luo to be the judge this time, I feel that you are making things difficult for our people!"

Director Xie was anxious.

"What are you talking about? How can this embarrass you? Academician Luo is the judge. Isn't it embarrassment for everyone?"

Principal Xiao: ...

You are so frank, what do you want me to say?

Principal Xiao was speechless for a moment. Looking at Director Xie's frank and almost "upright" expression, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He shook his head and took a deep breath, trying to sound calmer.

“Mr. They are all slightly inadequate, and I worry that under such high standards, they may be even more impacted."

"You know, Academician Luo is completely unkind in many aspects. This matter is a small matter to him, but to scholars who have been preparing for it for a long time, it may be a lifetime event!"

"Old Xiao, I thought you understood Academician Luo, but now it seems that you also have only a partial understanding."

"Although Academician Luo has always been straightforward, I believe that his review standards are fair and meet the requirements. He will not raise the standards rashly. We must also see that this review is also a good learning experience for our school. and opportunities for advancement.”

“We can take this opportunity to provide scholars with a deeper understanding of the norms and standards of academia and lay a solid foundation for their future development.”

"Have you not seen the series of measures above? In order to vigorously develop science and technology, the salary of scientific researchers has been improved a lot."

"But is this money easy to get?"

"We are not sure about this standard now, so it would be good to ask Academician Luo to give us a template."

"If I guess correctly, Academician Luo will also reserve talents for his next projects when he comes this time, and he may even transfer people to the Luo Research Society. This is a big deal for you people. What a great opportunity!”

After hearing Director Xie's words, Principal Xiao's worries eased a little.

Apart from anything else, if you can enter the Luo Research Society, it will undoubtedly be a huge boost to your personal academic development.

The Luo Research Society enjoys a very high reputation in the academic world. Being able to join it not only means that it has been recognized by the academic community, but also has access to more cutting-edge research and technology.

"Also, Lao Xiao, you are already worried. What should the others do?"

"Aren't people from other schools even more panicked when they heard the news?"

Director Xie woke up Principal Xiao with a few words.
