"Maybe not … What do you mean?" Liu Gan's fingers squeezed his knees. It took him a while to regain his composure.
A few days ago, when Director Qi came to him to assist his student in an experiment, he used the research funds to bully him. So, he went back on his words and pocketed the money from their department?
Zhao Lian's expression did not look good either.
When Qi Hui wanted to borrow Liu Gan's department's funds, Zhao Lian did not agree. He even reminded Qi Hui about it. Zhao Lian did not expect Qi Hui to bring it up to Academician Liu.
Actually, one million was not a lot. It was not even enough to buy a piece of research equipment. Furthermore, the country invested hundreds of millions in research every year.
Zhao Lian calmed himself down and said, "The department said that the funds will not be allocated to your department for now. When you need it, you can apply to the higher-ups."
Liu Gan listened for a while before the bulging veins on the back of his hand calmed down. "So, we won't be receiving this quarter's research funds?"
Zhao Lian pinched his eyebrows and looked at Liu Gan. "I'm sorry."
Zhao Lian was the highest-ranking professor in the biology department. He was also a senior researcher at the National Institute of Biological Research. Other than participating in research, he did not take any students with him. Naturally, he did not manage the department's financial affairs.
He had interacted with Liu Gan a few times. He knew that it was not easy for the information science department. That was why he brought it up today.
Liu Gan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He should have known that Director Qi would do this.
"I have a research project that requires deep sequencing data analysis. You should be able to do it. If there's a chance, we can expand it and develop a new way to analyze big data." Zhao Lian said seriously.
Liu Gan did not think about the funding problem. He asked in a daze, "Develop a new big data approach?"
"Biocomputers are widely used. In foreign countries, big data is the mainstream era. Bionic technology is the frontier and the research trend," Zhao Lian said slowly.
Liu Gan raised his head and looked at Professor Zhao in surprise.
Zhao Lian stood up from his chair and walked over to get a prepared document. He turned around and handed it to Liu Gan. "You can take this document back and see what you think."
Liu Gan's gaze landed on the document. He paused for two seconds before he reached out to take it.
He opened the folder and only read a little bit of the first page before he suddenly looked at Professor Zhao. "You …"
Zhao Lian's gaze was calm as he said faintly, "Your branch has been quiet for too long. You need some fresh projects to drive it forward."
Once the project was successfully launched, the most important thing was funding … Liu Gan suddenly understood why Professor Zhao called him over and specifically mentioned the lack of funding.
Liu Gan clenched the documents in his hand. He stood up and bowed to Professor Zhao. "Professor Zhao, thank you."
For a big-shot professor who didn't care about the trivial matters of the department, the question of which department had funds and which department didn't actually had nothing to do with him.
Zhao Lian only waved his hand and said with a smile, "All the best."
Liu Gan replied with a grunt. His gaze once again fell on the information in his hands.
Their department had indeed been quiet for a long time, so long that everyone thought they were easy to bully.
Zhao Lian gestured for Liu Gan to sit down again. A thought crossed his mind and he said, "Oh yes. Your faculty has a new student named Huo Yao. She's the top scholar in the Arts category. Do you know her?"
