After walking into Song Jinning's office, Lu Jin closed the door behind her and immediately asked, "… What happened to Nianzhi? You want to talk to me alone? Did something happen to her? "
Song Jinning turned around in surprise. "No, no, why would Professor Lu think that?"
"But you were the one who pulled me in just now and said you had something to tell me about Nianzhi." Lu Jin looked at her suspiciously. "You know how nervous and important I am to my girl."
"I know, I know …" Song Jinning walked to her desk and sat down, thinking about how to smooth things over.
She had just said that it had something to do with Nianzhi. She was just looking for a topic to quickly take Lu Jin away.
Song Jinning was actually not good at dealing with people, but she was different from Lu Jin, who had a severe interpersonal disorder.
She at least had the kindness and magnanimity of a woman. She usually wouldn't take the initiative to make things difficult or mock others.
Of course, she also knew that if someone else had said those words, they would definitely be making things difficult or mocking her. However, when it came from Lu Jin's mouth, it was the truth. She had no choice but to accept it.
She had pulled Lu Jin away because she was afraid that he would say too much and say something that was too advanced.
Sitting in her office, Song Jinning rubbed her temples. She had a headache.
Lu Jin's personality didn't seem to be suitable to be a professor.
Because he was too smart, his learning process was different from that of ordinary people. This made it very difficult for him to become a successful educator.
Moreover, those master's and doctoral students, even if they were already top scientific researchers and the best in the eyes of the public, were still not enough in Lu Jin's eyes.
He was actually suitable for special research, all kinds of inventions, and then show the results to others for everyone to worship.
Teaching and educating people was not his style.
Lu Jin sat in front of Song Jinning. Seeing her troubled expression, he understood. He shrugged nonchalantly and said, "If Director Song thinks I've made too many enemies for you, you can fire me."
He wasn't worried about work or money.
Song Jinning saw that he had misunderstood and said, "Professor Lu, don't say that. Why am I worried that you'll make enemies? What are you talking about? "
She continued without hesitation, "Professor Lu's enemy is my enemy. Whoever goes against Professor Lu is going against me. Do you still have to doubt my admiration for Professor Lu?"
Lu Jin beamed when he heard this. He gave Song Jinning a thumbs up and said rudely, "You have good taste! Director Song is a true genius scholar! "
Praising him meant that he had a good eye. This person was really too conceited.
Song Jinning was amused by him. She decided to tell him directly, "Professor Lu is right. The people in the institute aren't that great. It's a waste of time for you to teach them."
Lu Jin nodded repeatedly. "It's a waste of time, but I have nothing to do recently. I have to live even if I don't waste time. If I can help Director Song with a few lessons, I'll treat it as helping the poor."
Well, he even knew about poverty alleviation. It was obvious that he had too much time.
Song Jinning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said softly, "Professor Lu, this isn't the main point. The main point is that I'm worried that you'll be provoked and reveal your true abilities."
"Your true level has far surpassed our era. It's not suitable to show it to the public."
Lu Jin raised his head proudly. "My research is indeed not suitable to be shown to the public. They will be scared."
"Yes, so why don't you be the chief scientist of our Institute of High Energy Physics in the future? I'll apply for an unlimited budget for you, and you can do whatever research you want."
Lu Jin's eyes lit up. "Chief scientist?! That's a good idea. I like it … "
He rubbed his chin happily. "My girl is the chief legal adviser of the Senate, and I'm her father. I can't be too bad. The father of the chief legal adviser has to be the chief scientist!"
Song Jinning smiled and remembered. "Yes, that's what I wanted to tell you about Nianzhi's problem."
Lu Jin quickly stopped smiling and sat up straight. "… Go ahead."
"Nianzhi works in the Upper House of Parliament. She's currently the chief legal adviser of the Upper House. If she wants to take a step forward in the Senate and really become Speaker Long's successor, then she has to pay attention to her image and social influence, because both the Upper and Lower Houses of Parliament are elected. "
Song Jinning paused. "Elections can't be said to be the best mechanism, but as representatives of the public, there's no other way but to elect."
Lu Jin nodded. "Get to the point. I know what elections are about, and I also know about public representatives. This is what Nianzhi needs to consider, but does it have anything to do with me?"
Song Jinning continued to remind him, "You're Nianzhi's biological father. When she really runs for office, her background and identity will be known to the public. If you offend too many people and people find out that she's your biological daughter, do you think those people will come out to stir up trouble and create obstacles for Nianzhi?"
Lu Jin was instantly furious. He slammed his hands on the desk. "Who would dare?! Whoever creates obstacles for my girl, I'll teach them a lesson! "
"Give them a taste of their own medicine! Whether it's stirring up trouble or spreading rumors, let those people try! If I don't overturn those people's assets, I'll … break off my father-daughter relationship with my girl! "
Song Jinning: "…"
It seemed like he was serious. He had even said "break off their father-daughter relationship".
Song Jinning instantly had a better impression of Lu Jin.
A person who loved his daughter so selflessly and was a genius scientist that no one could hope to reach. This kind of person was a true dragon among men!
She regretted using such words to persuade Lu Jin, so she quickly said sincerely, "Professor Lu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that. Please forgive me."
Song Jinning didn't have any idol baggage. She would apologize when she needed to. She had never been vague, and she didn't care about face.
Lu Jin especially appreciated this about her.
Although Song Jinning's IQ wasn't top-notch in Lu Jin's opinion, she was many times higher than the average smart person.
Moreover, Song Jinning had never been shy about taking the initiative to apologize. This was something that Lu Jin couldn't do.
It was impossible for him to apologize, not in this lifetime.
Unless he was facing Nianzhi, which was a different matter.
In Lu Jin's heart, he was very clear about the difference between close and distant.
"Director Song, you're too polite. I understand what you mean. I'll be careful in the future, but I really won't be provoked by others to reveal all my secrets. "
Lu Jin spread his hands. "Don't forget, my father is a top psychologist and is good at hypnosis. I'm not as good at it as he is, but I've learned a little. "
"Reading people's expressions is an introductory course in psychology. I know all about it, but I don't want to use it."
Lu Jin rolled his eyes. "It's because I understand it that I find it ridiculous and boring."
Song Jinning pursed her lips and smiled. She turned on the computer and began to apply for a personal laboratory for Lu Jin. She asked, "Then if you become the chief scientist of our Institute of High Energy Physics and have your own laboratory, do you still need an assistant? You can't do some experiments alone, right? "
"There are a few lab laborers." Lu Jin counted with his fingers. "I can't have a socialite butterfly who has great strength, can move, and is tight-lipped. Not only can I not have her, but as long as she gets within three meters of my laboratory, she will be shot down by a laser."
Song Jinning: "…"
Had she come up with a bad idea?!
However, when she saw Lu Jin excitedly calculating what kind of equipment he wanted for his personal laboratory and what kind of "laborers" he needed, she held back.
This was the most suitable research method for Lu Jin. Song Jinning didn't want to force Lu Jin to do those time-wasting things.
After the two of them finished discussing, they began to talk about the research project to start.
Lu Jin said, "I'll be frank first. My own civilian project won't be given to your Institute of High Energy Physics. Those are for Boss Lu. He's the one who earns money for me. If those patents don't earn him money, he'll quit cooking for me and Nianzhi. "
Song Jinning: "…"
She said faintly, "… President Lu also cooks for me …"
Lu Jin blinked slyly, his expression still stubborn. "I've known Boss Lu for so many years, and I know his bad habit. Whenever he sees a woman he likes, he'll take the initiative to cook for her. Actually, why bother? A woman likes a man, not a chef. "
Song Jinning felt very uncomfortable and immediately said, "President Lu cooking is a good thing. How did he become a chef? Are you worthy of President Lu's cooking for you all these years? "
And it was especially delicious …
Lu Jin laughed in his heart, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "If a chef doesn't cook well, can he still be called a chef? Not everyone who goes into the kitchen to cook is called a chef. For example, I also know a thing or two, but I can't be called a chef because I'm not a professional. "
"… But cooking isn't President Lu's profession either." Song Jinning couldn't help but speak up for Lu Yuan. "He has his own profession, and cooking is just his hobby. Professor Lu's words are biased. "
"… Ah, that's not what the last woman said," Lu Jin lied through his teeth. Lu Jin lied through his teeth, "Boss Lu likes her, so he deliberately said that his house was being renovated and stayed at that woman's house. He took good care of her three meals a day and even delivered food to her unit. Unfortunately, the last woman didn't cherish him at all and treated him as a cook. Boss Lu was heartbroken and had been silent for many years. Recently, he started cooking for the woman he liked again."
Song Jinning felt that something was wrong, but her mind was stuck on the words "the last woman" and couldn't wrap her head around it for a moment.
She asked in confusion, "… President Lu used to like a woman? Was it over there? That woman actually didn't like President Lu? Sigh, what a heartless person. I'm sorry for the delicacies that President Lu prepared. "
"Wasting delicacies will be struck by lightning and punished by retribution."
Lu Jin: "…"
He was very puzzled. I've already made it so obvious, yet you still haven't reacted?
Do you like her or don't like her? Give me a definite answer!
Lu Jin made up his mind and was about to ask on Lu Yuan's behalf when Song Jinning's office intercom suddenly beeped.
Song Jinning turned it on, and a woman's sweet voice rang out. "Director Song, Minister Shi from the Ministry of Education is here. Do you want to meet him?"
The minister of the Ministry of Education was here, so how could Song Jinning not see him?
She immediately said, "I'll be right there. Please invite Minister Shi to the reception room."
Lu Jin hated dealing with these bureaucrats the most. He also stood up. "Then I'll go back first. You go ahead."
Song Jinning nodded. "I can mention the matter of applying for a budget to the Minister of Education in person. In theory, this is funded by the Ministry of Education, but the Senate can also play a big role. I'll talk to Nianzhi when I get back tonight. "
"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't have money. Boss Lu will think of a way," Lu Jin said lightly and walked out first.
When he opened the door, he saw a sweet-looking woman. Her round face was like a red apple, and she was dressed very lively.
She was the one who had been talking just now.
Lu Jin knew that her name was Cai Zhaohe. She was a very popular girl among the master's students at the Institute of High Energy Physics.
There weren't many women who studied physics to begin with. Occasionally, there would be one or two whose looks weren't flattering. Therefore, a beautiful and intelligent girl like Cai Zhaohe was especially popular in the Institute of Physics.
But it wouldn't work with Lu Jin.
He glanced at her and said naturally, "You're smiling so happily and obsequiously. Did you pass the exam this time? I remember you only got ten points last time. "
The full score was fifty points. Of course, she didn't pass with ten points.
What a slap in the face.
Cai Zhaohe's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She said in a trembling voice, "… Professor … Professor Lu, I'll definitely do well next time."
"There won't be a next time. You're fired. "Lu Jin walked out without looking back.
Cai Zhaohe burst into tears.
Song Jinning continued to have a headache and said helplessly, "It's just being fired from Professor Lu's course, not from the Institute of High Energy Physics. Why are you crying?"
It was better not to comfort her.
Cai Zhaohe was even more upset. She covered her face and turned to run away.
Song Jinning's assistant rushed over at this moment and was secretly amused.
She said, "Students nowadays have hearts of glass. They can't say a single harsh word. Don't mind them."
"Why should I mind? She's the one who should mind. She only got ten points on the exam. Our Institute of High Energy Physics also has to consider the expulsion system. We can't be like other schools and still give students a chance to take a make-up exam. "
Song Jinning waved her hand nonchalantly. "Think carefully about how to draft the rules. Don't accept so many people. People who do academia value quality over quantity."
She remembered that when her father, Song Haichuan, was the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, there weren't so many people in the institute.
For the past ten years, Bai Jinyi had been in charge. She wanted nothing more than to turn a high-end research institute into a university campus where people came and went.
Her assistant nodded. "I'll discuss the rules with the people in the secretariat. You can go and see Minister Shi. He's been waiting for a while. "
Song Jinning followed her assistant into the reception room.
Minister Shi was the minister of the Ministry of Education under the cabinet. He was in his fifties and had a kind face. He did have the demeanor of an "educator".
In recent years, he had vigorously carried out educational reforms. He had lightened the burden on students and prohibited teachers from assigning too much homework. He was simply worrying about primary school students all over the country.
Song Jinning was not used to this.
Learning was a difficult process. If one couldn't even endure the hardships of learning, what future prospects would they have in the future?
However, the funding of the Institute of High Energy Physics was still managed by the Ministry of Education, so Song Jinning still had to treat him politely.
She walked into the reception room and was surprised to find that in addition to Minister Shi, there was also an elegant and elegant woman sitting next to him.
Seeing her come in, the woman stood up. She was not short and was about the same height as Song Jinning.
She smiled and nodded elegantly at her. "Are you Director Song? It's an honor to meet you. "
