Song Jinning snorted, but did not 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 responded. If it exceeds the time we requested, prepare a memorandum and send it directly Prime Minister Bai and Speaker Long, and forward a memorandum to General Ji from the Military Department and Chief Gu from the Upper House of Parliament.”
Dare to touch the funds 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 the sound of someone talking.
She took a look and found that Zuo Qinghong was comforting Cai Zhaohe who was crying into tears.
This is the master's student who was scolded 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 degree students and only look for doctoral students and postdocs who have obtained doctorates.
This way you are older, more mature, and more able to withstand stress.
Only exceptionally talented people will be admitted.
With this in mind, Song Jinning returned to the office and began to draft new regulations and documents.
…
Zuo Qinghong caught a glimpse of Song Jinning walking through the door from the corner of his eye, 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 for your grades and pass the exam next time. Isn’t that enough?”
"But Professor Lu is very tricky and mean in setting questions. He also tests 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, didn't he find many errors and omissions in the textbooks?"
Cai Zhaohe was choked up and yelled: "I'm just a student! I only know how to study textbooks! He is always wrong when he says it. He is so capable, why doesn't he compile textbooks?!"
"Showa, you are now a master's student. You can no longer mention the textbooks." Zuo Qinghong stood up, feeling that he had done his best, "Learn to think independently and listen carefully to Professor Lu's lectures. Don't you have such a precious opportunity?" Cherish it and don’t take Professor Lu’s class.”
These words directly touched Cai Zhaohe's sadness, and she started crying again: "...but I have 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 and left the small classroom without saying anything.
…
On the first Friday of December, the first snow fell in the Imperial Capital.
The first snow was crystal clear and swirling, shrouding the prosperous imperial capital in a thin layer of snow particles.
Gu Nianzhi woke up in the morning, opened the window and saw the snowy scene outside the window, and was very happy.
"Ako, let's go for a walk in the snow!"
Akko jumped up from his soft puppy nest, barked, and ran out with her.
Gu Nianzhi wore a white mink fur hat in the style of the former Soviet military uniform, which covered his ears tightly.
In order to facilitate running, she did not wear a knee-length coat, but wore a dark blue glossy short down jacket from Moncler. It was energetic and warm, and also looked very heroic. It matched perfectly with the white mink hair on her head, which was the standard of the former Soviet military uniform.
After holding Ake's dog leash and running out the door, Gu Nianzhi saw Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze who were returning from running, smiled and raised his hand to say hello.
"Brother Nobita! Brother Ozawa! Good morning!"
"Read it, morning."
Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze greeted her together.
Zhao Liangze also greeted Ake, the short-legged Corgi dog, "Ake, you have gained weight recently. You are covered in fat. You are really embarrassing to the military dog."
Akko seemed to understand what he said, so he snarled and pounced on him to bite him.
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly pulled the rope and shouted: "Ake! Shut up! I'll bite you again!"
Only then did A Ke stop and didn't really bite. He only bared his teeth at Zhao Liangze.
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong laughed, nodded to Gu Nianzhi, passed by, and returned to Huo Shaoheng's official residence.
The members of the Special Operations Department who had been practicing in the morning in twos and threes came back from running. They all nodded to Gu Nianzhi and occasionally exchanged a few words.
Gu Nianzhi was in a good mood, her face was flushed, and her eyes were shining with hope, which made people unable to look away.
The morning at the Special Operations Division Headquarters was so energetic and lively.
…
After Huo Guanchen got up in the morning and did his morning exercises, he went to the study room to familiarize himself with the materials for today's meeting.
The life secretary had prepared them for him and placed them in the study.
All he had to do was read it once.
It was just a daily operation, but when he saw the secretary included a report about the military budget, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
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 budget review will be sent to the Political Department for final political review.
Among the funding application reports from various military agencies, he actually saw a funding application form from the Institute of High Energy Physics.
I quickly took out the application and read it over.
It turned out that it was Song Jinning who applied for Lu Jin's personal laboratory funding application.
Because Lu Jin made it very clear that his civilian projects were intended to be used for patent applications to make money for Lu Yuan's company, not the Institute of High Energy Physics.
His research projects at the Institute of High Energy Physics are all in cooperation with the military, and he prefers the development of weapons with cutting-edge technology.
Therefore, it is normal and reasonable for Song Jinning to specifically apply for funds from the military ministry.
Especially since the cabinet's budget is currently tight, it makes sense for her to report directly to the military department.
But that wasn't how it was done before.
Huo Guanchen checked the previous information, and sure enough, in the past, the military department transferred the money for cooperation projects to the cabinet, and then the cabinet budget committee allocated it to the Institute of High Energy Physics.
Theoretically, the military cannot directly give money to subordinate agencies of the cabinet. This is called ultra vires.
Just like the subordinate agencies of the cabinet cannot directly ask for money from the military department, this is called overstepping.
Song Jinning has never been someone who can be innovative in this regard. Huo Guanchen was sensitive to the fact that there must 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 and asked: "How is the political review of all the staff of the Institute of High Energy Physics going?"
"The report to the head is still under review." His life secretary stood at attention and said, "We have divided everyone in the Institute of High Energy Physics into several categories and marked different levels 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 laboratory staff of the Institute of Physics. Currently, the Institute of High Energy Physics has a total of six special laboratories, each with thirty researchers."
The life secretary paused and said, "...According to the staffing staff, the researchers in these six special laboratories are already overstaffed."
Huo Guanchen clasped his hands together, put them on his desk, and said, "How many super staff are there?"
"According to the establishment, each special laboratory cannot have more than twenty researchers. They have overstaffed ten people in each laboratory."
"Why is there overstaffing? Didn't you review it before?" Huo Guanchen asked in surprise.
The life secretary glanced at Huo Guanchen with some embarrassment, "... Ms. Bai Jinyi used to be the director. At that time, cooperation with the military had stopped. She expanded her enrollment on her own and had nothing to do with us... "
After a major accident occurred in an experiment with the Military Ministry eighteen years ago, the Military Ministry stopped its cooperation plan with the Institute of High Energy Physics.
At that time, Bai Jinyi became the director. She did not agree with Song Haichuan's management philosophy and was determined to make the Institute of High Energy Physics bigger and stronger.
Bai Jinyi was nimble. Because she was born in the Bai family, she had good relationships with all parties. She got the green light to apply for funds from the cabinet, which was completely different from Song Jinning's situation.
Later, 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 reopened experiments. Only then did the situation of the Institute of High Energy Physics come to the attention of the Military Political Department again.
Of course, it was not long ago that a thorough investigation was carried out.
Huo Guanchen thought about it, packed up the materials, stood up, and said calmly: "Notify the organization holding today's meeting that the meeting is cancelled. 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 will arrange the motorcade and notify the meeting of the cancellation."
Huo Guanchen quickly took a car to the Institute of High Energy Physics.
But before getting off the bus, his life secretary handed him a personal mobile phone from the front seat and said: "Chief, Miss Guo's phone number."
Huo Guanchen took it.
"Mr. Huo, this is Huining." Guo Huining said with a smile, "Are you coming to Xishan today? Your guard sent fresh venison. Mr. Huo wants to roast the venison."
Huo Guanchen smiled and said, "I have a meeting today. I don't know if I have time. You can eat first."
After saying that, 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.
Guo Huining narrowed his eyes when he saw Huo Guanchen's clear back and the familiar license plate on his phone.
It seemed that the warning she gave Song Jinning was not enough, and she actually hooked up with Huo Guanchen to meet in private again.
