Jin Ling University, Institute of Nuclear Engineering.
Four fourth-year students, who had just finished class, rushed out of the classroom. They were talking about recent events in the school while walking toward the cafeteria.
"… I just glanced at the virtual reality community during class. I saw someone in the student union's public relations department saying that East Asia Power is coming to our school for a job fair? Did you guys hear about it? "
"East Asia Power's job fair?" The tall boy walking in the middle paused for a second and said in a strange tone, "Really? Didn't they come here a while ago? "
"I don't know, maybe they're short of labor again."
"Can we get a registration form? What's the recruitment process? Is it the same as last time? "
"I don't know." The student who previously leaked the news shook his head and continued, "But I heard that this time, it seems to be divided into two parts: a written test and an interview."
"Sure! I'll go join in the fun. If I get selected, I'll buy you guys dinner. "
"Haha, let's go together, I'll also join in the fun."
The boy wearing glasses listened to the excited discussion of his roommates next to him. He glanced at the three of them and spoke with a lack of interest.
"You guys go ahead, I plan on taking the master's exam, so I don't want to waste time."
The tall boy looked at the top student in the dorm in surprise. He thought he heard wrongly and said, "What are you talking about?
"This is a good opportunity to go to East Asia Power, you really don't want to try?"
There are people in the entire Institute of Nuclear Engineering who don't want to go to East Asia Power?
Then why did you apply for this major in the first place?
Another student next to him also nodded in agreement.
"That's right, you're the one with the highest GPA in our dorm, bro! Isn't going to East Asia Power a lot better than a master's? "
The guy with glasses smiled faintly and spoke.
"Not necessarily."
The boy who previously leaked the news frowned and asked.
"Do you know any inside information?"
"Not really inside information. I just heard from a senior who went there for half a year that it's not as beautiful as it is described. The company was big, and the benefits were undeniable. After all, the company's turnover was obvious. However, there was no academic atmosphere in the entire laboratory, and there was no engineer culture at all. Other than being busy writing endless reports, there were also endless meetings. Even if an ordinary person went in, he would be crippled after soaking in that huge dye vat for two years! "
The tall boy said blankly, "It's not that exaggerated, right?"
The bespectacled man shook his head, not intending to explain any further.
"Whether I'm exaggerating or not, you'll know once you go in. Oh, right. I also heard that connections are more important than ability there. Promotions don't depend on the thesis but on the leader's evaluation. Those who work hard and don't listen will be suppressed. Whoever wants to be bullied can go ahead. Anyway, I won't go. "
"But, I heard that Academician Lu has become the chairman, and he has laid off a bunch of people! It should be different this time. "
"Academician Lu? Haha, so what if he's Academician Lu? " The bespectacled boy shook his head and sighed faintly. "The current East Asia Power is no longer the East Asia Power he was familiar with."
Just when did it start?
No one knew.
It was just that when they realized it, the energy giant that everyone yearned for was no longer as beautiful as they imagined.
Even in the minds of the vast majority of people, East Asia Energy was still their pride. But its reputation in the university circle, especially for those who had gone there for internships, made it no longer their first choice.
However, perhaps there was still a trace of expectation in their hearts, or perhaps it was because they were looking forward to the return of Academician Lu to bring a different change.
Even if most people didn't have much hope, they still signed up for the written examination of the job fair.
It wasn't just Jin Ling University students.
It wasn't even just the schools in the Yangtze River Delta city group.
After the news that Academician Lu personally hosted the job fair spread, it immediately caused an uproar in the entire Pan-Asian Cooperation university circle. Because there were no regional restrictions on signing up for the written examination, all the universities in Pan-Asia that were involved in controllable fusion related research were eyeing this recruitment.
So much so that a week before the start of the job fair, the maglev train tickets from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city group and the Pearl River Delta city group to Jinling had already been snatched, and even the nearby hotels had been booked.
It wasn't just because of Academician Lu.
Many people had heard some rumors from gossip. Before the start of the job fair, Lu Zhou not only sent Director Liu, the head of the electromagnet research laboratory, to the police station, but he also laid off more than 2,000 people.
Although this sounded a bit ridiculous, the reality was that the entire electromagnet research laboratory had almost been reduced to an empty shelf.
As for those empty seats, they were quite envious …
…
In the past few days, except for occasionally going to school for preparatory courses, Lu Zhou basically stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.
On the one hand, there was indeed a risk in going out. On the other hand, he was busy enough with the job fair.
In order to avoid the reorganized electromagnet research laboratory from falling into the cycle of history again, he intended to be in charge of this job fair by himself, and he had no intention of letting other laboratories intervene at all.
After all, the chaos in the research and development department of East Asia Power was far from just a problem of the electromagnet research laboratory, but it was a chronic disease that existed in all research institutes.
He intended to use the reborn electromagnet research laboratory as a breakthrough point and a demonstration unit for scientific research reform. After he achieved certain results here, he would promote it to other research institutes.
In addition to the job fair, there was also the research topic of second-generation controllable fusion.
As the chief person in charge of the project, he must develop a specific research plan for each research unit. At least, he had to clearly stipulate what each department should do and what role they should play in this project.
These people were not very self-conscious.
If he continued to be ambiguous on this matter, he was afraid that they would have to grind their way to a new realm.
However, just when Lu Zhou was busy, he suddenly received an unexpected call.
The call was from Song Yangwei.
It was Director Song of the Science and Technology Committee of the Board of Directors, who was replaced by him. As one of the shareholders of East Asia Power, Director Song was also the chairman of Yangwei Capital and Liu Sihai's father-in-law.
The moment he received this call, Lu Zhou had already guessed that this guy was probably coming to plead for his son-in-law.
As it turned out, he was still too young.
It seemed that he was a person who didn't know the ways of the world. The voice from the other end of the phone didn't have any intention of pleading at all.
Instead, it sounded like a threat?
"… I'm warning you, withdraw the lawsuit against Liu Sihai immediately!"
Lu Zhou: "… Did you take the wrong medicine?"
"I'm not joking with you." With a hint of anger in his tone, Song Yangwei, who was on the other end of the phone, did not hide the threat in his tone. He said, "If you insist on going your own way, I will immediately start shorting East Asia Power! You want to do second-generation controllable fusion? Haha, let's wait and see. When the market value of East Asia Power evaporates by hundreds of billions, you can see if the board of directors will still stand on your side. "
After speaking, he didn't give Lu Zhou a chance to speak. He dropped this sentence and hung up the phone.
Looking at the interrupted video call interface on the holographic screen, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, then he couldn't help but laugh.
This is strange.
Why do they all like to talk to me, a scientific researcher?
Do I look like the kind of person who will bow to evil forces?
Shaking his head, Lu Zhou turned off the video call window. He turned his head and left Song Yangwei's threat behind.
Shorting?
Let's give it a try.
