Chapter 2034 Private Meeting

Song Jinning snorted, but he didn't complain in front of his subordinates. He just said: "Find out the applications for funding from our Institute of Physics and count them to see how many have not been responded to. If it exceeds the time required by us, prepare the memorandum and send it directly. Prime Minister Bai and Speaker Long, and forward a memorandum to Admiral Ji of the Military Department and Chief Gu of the Upper House of Parliament."

Dare to touch the funding of their Institute of High Energy Physics, this Minister of Education is really worthy of his name.

When Song Jinning returned to the office, he passed by a small classroom and heard someone talking.

She took a look and found that it was Zuo Qinghong who was comforting Cai Zhaohe who was crying.

This is the graduate student who was stunned by Lu Jin just now, and he is still crying...

Song Jinning frowned, and formally considered whether their Institute of High Energy Physics should cancel the enrollment of master's students, and only look for doctoral students and postdoctoral students who have obtained doctoral degrees.

In this way, I am older, more mature, and more resistant to stress.

Only those who are particularly talented will be admitted exceptionally.

Thinking of this, Song Jinning returned to the office and began to draft new regulations and documents.

...

From the corner of Zuo Qinghong's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Song Jinning passing by the door, and knocked on the desk with a headache, "Showa, what problem can you solve by crying like this? You should think about how to make up your grades and pass the exam next time." Isn't that all right?"

"But that Professor Lu is tricky and mean in setting the questions, and he will test things that are not in the textbook!"

Zuo Qinghong frowned, "Professor Lu is very powerful, how can the textbooks be compared with him? I remember that he has found many mistakes and omissions in the textbooks?"

Cai Zhaohe was so choked that he yelled, "I'm just a student! I only know how to study textbooks! If he says something wrong, he's wrong. If he's so capable, why doesn't he compile textbooks?!"

"Showa, you are already a master's student, you can no longer talk about textbooks." Zuo Qinghong stood up, feeling that he had done his best, "Learn to think independently and listen to Professor Lu's lectures. Don't you have such a precious opportunity?" Cherish it well, then don’t go to Professor Lu’s class.”

These words directly touched Cai Zhaohe's sadness, and she howled again after she had just stopped crying: "...But I have already been expelled from his course by Professor Lu! He didn't even give me a chance to make up the exam!"

Zuo Qinghong rubbed his forehead, left the small classroom without saying anything.

...

On the first Friday of December, the first snow fell in Imperial Capital.

The first snow was crystal clear and numerous, covering the prosperous imperial capital in a thin layer of snow particles.

Gu Nianzhi woke up in the morning, opened the window and saw the snow scene outside the window, very happy.

"Ake, let's go to the snow!"

Ake jumped up from his soft puppy bed, barked, and ran out with her.

Gu Nianzhi was wearing a white sable hat of the former Soviet military uniform, which tightly covered his ears.

For the convenience of running, she didn't wear a knee-length coat, but a dark blue glossy short down jacket from Moncler, which is both energetic and warm, and also very heroic.

Holding Ake's dog leash and running out the door, Gu Nianzhi greeted Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze who had returned from running, smiling and raising their hands.

"Brother Nobita! Brother Ozawa! Good morning!"

"Read it, early."

Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze greeted her together.

Zhao Liangze also greeted A Ke, a short-legged Corgi dog, "A Ke, you have gained weight recently, look at your fat body, it is really embarrassing for military dogs."

Ake seemed to understand what he said, and rushed forward with a groan, about to bite him.

Gu Nianzhi hurriedly pulled the rope, and shouted: "Ake! Shut up! I'll bite you again!"

Only then did Ake stop his steps, and instead of biting, he just bared his teeth at Zhao Liangze.

Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong laughed loudly, nodded to Gu Nianzhi, passed by, and went back to Huo Shaoheng's mansion.

Members of the Special Operations Division who had morning exercises in twos and threes returned from running,

They all nodded to Gu Nianzhi, and occasionally chatted a few words.

Gu Nianzhi was in a good mood, her little face was flushed, and her lacquer-like eyes were shining brightly, making it increasingly difficult for people to take their eyes off her.

The morning at the headquarters of the Special Operations Division was full of vigor and excitement.

...

After Huo Guanchen got up in the morning for morning exercises, he went to the study to familiarize himself with the materials of today's meeting.

They were all prepared for him by the life secretary and placed in the study.

He just needs to read it once.

It was originally just a daily operation, but when he saw that the secretary included a report on the military budget, he still raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

Their political department does not care about the budget, but the budget of the military department is also subject to political review.

Therefore, before final approval, all application reports that pass the budget review will be sent to the Political Department for final political review.

In the funding application reports of these military agencies, he actually saw a funding application from the Institute of High Energy Physics.

He quickly took out the application and read it again.

It turned out that it was Song Jinning who applied for the funding application for Lu Jin's personal laboratory.

Because Lu Jin made it very clear that his civil project is intended to be used for patent application, and it will make money for Lu Yuan's company, not for the Institute of High Energy Physics.

His research projects at the Institute of High Energy Physics are all in cooperation with the military, and they tend to research and develop cutting-edge technology weapons.

Therefore, it is normal and reasonable for Song Jinning to specifically apply for funding from the military.

Especially since the budget of the cabinet is currently tight, it makes sense for her to report directly to the military department.

But it didn't work that way before.

Huo Guanchen checked the previous information, and it turned out that the military used to transfer the funds for cooperation projects to the cabinet, and then the cabinet budget committee allocated them to the Institute of High Energy Physics.

Theoretically speaking, the military department cannot directly give money to the subordinate agencies of the cabinet, which is called ultra vires.

Just like the subordinate agencies of the cabinet cannot directly ask for money from the military department, this is called leapfrogging.

Song Jinning has never been a person who can be unconventional in this respect. Huo Guanchen is sensitive to the fact that there should be a conflict between the Institute of High Energy Physics and the cabinet.

Huo Guanchen tapped his fingers on the desk twice, called his life secretary over and asked, "How is your political review of all the personnel in the Institute of High Energy Physics going?"

"The report chief is still under trial." His life secretary hurriedly stood at attention and said, "We have divided everyone in the Institute of High Energy Physics into several categories and marked them with different degrees of importance."

"The first is the management and teachers, headed by Director Song, including three deputy directors, seven professors, eight associate professors, and fifteen lecturers."

"Then there are the staff in the laboratories of the Institute of Physics. Currently, the Institute of High Energy Physics has six special laboratories, each with 30 researchers."

The life secretary paused, "...According to the establishment, the number of researchers in these six special laboratories has been overstaffed."

Huo Guanchen clasped his hands together, put them on the desk, and said, "How much is the excess?"

"According to the establishment, the number of researchers in each special laboratory cannot exceed 20, and each of their laboratories has overstaffed ten people."

"Why is it overstaffed? Didn't you review it before?" Huo Guanchen asked in surprise.

The life secretary looked at Huo Guanchen with some embarrassment, "...Ms. Bai Jinyi used to be the director, and the cooperation with the military had stopped at that time. She expanded her own enrollment, which has nothing to do with us..."

Eighteen years ago, after a major accident occurred in an experiment with the military department, the military department stopped the cooperation plan with the Institute of High Energy Physics.

At that time, Bai Jinyi was the director of the department. She did not agree with Song Haichuan's management philosophy, and she was determined to make high-energy physics bigger and stronger.

Bai Jinyi is flexible, because she was born in the Bai family, she has a good relationship with all parties, and she applied for funding in the cabinet all the way, which is completely different from Song Jinning's situation.

Later, when Bai Jinyi was imprisoned, Song Jinning recovered from his illness and took over as the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, and the military department reopened experiments, the situation of the Institute of High Energy Physics was once again paid attention to by the Political Department of the Military Department.

Of course, a full investigation was not long ago.

Huo Guanchen thought about it, packed up the materials, stood up, and said calmly: "Notify the organization that is meeting today, the meeting is cancelled, and I will go to the Institute of High Energy Physics in person."

"Are you going to the Institute of High Energy Physics?" Huo Guanchen's life secretary nodded hurriedly, "I'll arrange the motorcade and notify the meeting to be cancelled."

Huo Guanchen quickly arrived at the Institute of High Energy Physics by car.

But before getting out of the car, his life secretary handed him a personal mobile phone from the front seat and said, "Chief, Miss Guo's number."

Huo Guanchen took it.

"Mr. Huo, I'm Huining." Guo Huining said with a smile on his face, "Are you coming to Xishan today? Your guards brought fresh venison over. Mr. Huo wants to roast it."

Huo Guanchen smiled, "I still have a meeting today, I don't know if I have time, you guys eat first."

After speaking, he hung up the phone, opened the car door and walked out.

At this moment, in a residential building in the distance, someone took a photo with a high-definition telephoto lens and sent it to Guo Huining.

Seeing Huo Guanchen's clear back and the familiar license plate on the phone, Guo Huining narrowed his eyes.

It seems that the warning she gave Song Jinning was not enough, and she hooked up with Huo Guanchen to meet privately again.
