Bai Ziwen, the second son of Bai Zhengqing. Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has high authority in the field of Chinese physics. Serves as the director of an institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is the only academic sect of the Bai family, a business family.
As we all know, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a ministerial-level unit. Except for the latest official, its president is at the ministerial level. In the previous years, they were all high-ranking deputy national-level candidates. The administrative level of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is deputy ministerial level.
Of course, the administrative level is the administrative level. To judge the power of an official, we usually look at the position within the party. It is like being a deputy mayor. There is a huge difference between being on the Standing Committee and not being on the Standing Committee. As for the more than 1,000 deputy-ministerial academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, if all of them have power, I am afraid that even the State Council will not be able to control it...
Bai Ziwen is an academician who is obsessed with scientific research. He enjoys deputy ministerial status, but he hides in the laboratory all year round. Except for eating and resting, even the employees in the institute rarely see Director Bai, who has an incredible background.
Tonight, with the cooperation of eight students and subordinates, he completed a brand new invention. And it is very practical. Once put into the market, it will create great benefits for the country and society. The students and subordinates were very excited and proud to personally participate in this research and invention. But Bai Ziwen completed all the follow-up work very calmly, took off his lab coat, signed the document, and said, "Contact your superiors. Director Li will be responsible for the handover issue."
After that, he declined the invitations from his classmates and subordinates and walked back to the office alone.
Bai Ziwen's office is not too big. Apart from the necessary work equipment, there are not many extra daily necessities. He looks like an ascetic who has no demands on life. The simplicity is astounding.
It was already twelve o'clock at night. Bai Ziwen, who had been busy all night, felt a little hungry, so he declined the invitation from his classmates and subordinates to have a late-night snack to celebrate. I cooked a bowl of instant noodles alone in the office. When it comes to eating, Bai Ziwen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is more hard-working and simple than most of his colleagues.
After boiling the water, Bai Ziwen put the instant noodles into the iron pot. Then put on your glasses and browse a latest research report submitted by a student. It was a report on aeronautical mechanics, which was published in a domestic scientific magazine and caused a small-scale discussion in the industry. What Bai Ziwen has to do is to find out the students' shortcomings and point out better research directions.
Famous teachers produce great disciples. Bai Ziwen's academic level is among the best in the country, and he also has a high reputation internationally. Therefore, most of the students who came out of his hands were outstanding and rarely tarnished his reputation.
Eating instant noodles and reading the students' reports. This delay lasted until one o'clock in the morning. I only ate half of the noodles, but I wrote about it in this report, leaving nearly a thousand words of notes. The handwriting is steady and powerful, and it is a very skillful regular script.
At almost half past one, Bai Ziwen put the report into the drawer. Then he put away the dishes, washed them, and then took off his glasses and left the institute.
Bai Ziwen lives in a two-bedroom apartment arranged by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. About eighty square meters. The decoration is very old-fashioned, the floor is dark red, and the soft furnishings on the walls are mostly decorated with solid wood. At first glance, it seems that it is not a style that young people will like. But Bai Ziwen has lived here for ten years. I have lived in Yanjing for more than twenty years. In the past ten years, before he was awarded the title of Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he lived in a dormitory and the environment was even more difficult.
In fact. As the second young master of the Bai family in China, he is in charge of a super wealthy family worth a trillion yuan. Even if Bai Ziwen is paralyzed in bed, he can still live a more exciting and richer life than most ordinary people. However, he decided to go to Sijiu City and became a scientist engaged in scientific research. Lived a life of poverty for twenty years. Not much better than the eldest brother Bai Wuxia who lives in seclusion on Fengming Mountain. If we had to find something to be proud of in his life, it would probably be that he reluctantly entered politics. Enjoy deputy ministerial level treatment.
Speaking of which, by conventional standards, the deputy ministerial rank in ancient times was basically the second rank. When it comes to places, and places with vast territory and strong economic strength, they are basically at the level of feudal officials. But academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences do not hold real power like ordinary officials. He has high qualifications and high level, but does not have the corresponding power. Of course, the corresponding academic level is as high as that of an antelope hanging its horns.
If he were a powerful deputy ministerial boss, no one would find fault. But he is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The patents for inventions developed through research also belong to state units and cannot become personal property. They receive dead wages and benefits, and there is no so-called commission—
Bai Ziwen's current situation is really not enviable.
Boom boom.
Just a few minutes after returning home, there was a knock on the door.
There are very few guests in this room. Bai Ziwen is a boring person and lives an extremely boring life. He really doesn't have many friends. Let alone a confidant. If someone comes to see him in the middle of the night, it's basically not a good thing. Either borrow money or work overtime.
The problem is, Bai Ziwen's monthly salary is barely over 10,000 yuan, and he is excellent at work and often makes new inventions. You can get two hundred thousand in one year. But in the circle he lives in, what use is two hundred thousand
Although this money is enough for Bai Ziwen, whose life is monotonous, to cover basic expenses for five years.
Bai Ziwen opened the door and saw the middle-aged man standing outside the door.
He is of average height and has a lean build. But wearing a well-tailored hand-tailored suit. Her hair is meticulously combed and her temperament is gentle. There is an aura of moderation all over his body.
He glanced at Bai Ziwen and smiled: "Xiao Bai, don't you invite me to sit in the house?"
Bai Ziwen did not refuse and slowly stepped aside.
"There is nothing to entertain at home. This Longjing was given to me by a friend last year." Bai Ziwen came over with two cups of hot tea and sat down opposite the middle-aged man.
The living room is not big. The sofa is made of leather. It's just that there are cracks in many places, and even the cotton wadding inside is exposed. It looks quite messy.
The middle-aged man, Shang Jingtian, took the tea cup, blew on the light green tea leaves, and took a sip. Then he slowly put down the tea cup and opened a pack of cigarettes.
"I've been quitting for more than ten years." Bai Ziwen shook his head and said holding the teacup in both hands.
Shang Jingtian smiled, but he didn't force Bai Ziwen. He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "The first three years you came to Yanjing. I guess you will return to Baicheng soon."
"In three years, I guess if you don't go back to Baicheng, you will find an interesting job. I remember that your family has a branch in Yanjing. There is also a wholly-owned company."
"Now. I just want to ask you one thing."
Shang Jingtian stared at Bai Ziwen and said word by word: "Have you had enough?"
