Chapter 522 Leaders’ Meeting, Rewards and Requests
Li Tieguo was stunned at first, then he began to think.
What he said to Li Zhenmin made some sense. Besides, he didn't want Jiang Tao to accuse him of being biased, and the family didn't want to have any rifts between them because of such a small matter.
At the same time, he also felt that Hu Yong did not have the ability to learn directly from Li Zhenmin, and entering the steel rolling mill should be the best choice for him at the moment.
"Okay, I'll go talk to the factory director tomorrow, but I don't know if the leader will agree. You'd better mention it to the factory as well, otherwise I'm afraid they won't approve it."
After all, he has not suffered any serious illness or disaster, and he is not yet of retirement age. Under normal circumstances, the factory should not agree to such a thing. However, Li Zhenmin has some status in the factory, so if he brings it up, things should go much more smoothly.
"Well, I'll go there tomorrow if I'm free. If not, I'll call the factory manager."
Li Zhenmin agreed.
Upon hearing this, the old lady of the Hu family's eyes lit up, and she quickly said to Hu Yong, "Why don't you thank your eldest brother and your father?"
Li Tieguo immediately dissuaded him, "We are all family, why bother thanking me? I should have retired, and the job will be given to Xiaoyong sooner or later. Letting Xiaoyong take over the job now will save me from going to the countryside. Please don't be so distant."
The old lady was shocked. In her mind, Hu Yong was not Li Tieguo's biological son after all. Li Tieguo's job should be passed on to Li Wanying. After all, Li Wanying had not yet started working.
Li Zhenmin didn't arrange a job for his sister. Wasn't he just waiting for Li Tieguo to retire and then let Li Wanying inherit?
Why was it originally intended to be given to Hu Yong?
She had not thought of asking Li Tieguo to give the job to Hu Yong. She just wanted Li Zhenmin to use his connections to prevent Hu Yong from staying in the countryside for so long. She had not even said those words, but she got this answer.
After thinking about it, the old lady felt a little guilty and said, "No, no, no, your job was originally supposed to be given to Wanying. Xiaoyong is still young, so there is no rush for him to get the job for now."
Li Zhenmin interrupted, "Grandma, you don't have to worry about Wanying. She is not suitable for this job. I have asked her to learn other things. Forget it. Her affairs are more complicated. Anyway, you don't have to worry about her. Otherwise, Wenyin could have given her the job before."
The old lady was stunned and looked at Xiaoguang curiously.
Shen Wenyin continued with a smile, "Xiaoguang is not inheriting my job. He found a job for himself a long time ago. He no longer works in the steel mill. When I resigned, I discussed it with Zhenmin and Wanying. Wanying had other plans, so you don't have to think too much. Dad's job was decided a long time ago. After retirement, it will be given to Xiaoyong. It's just a little earlier now."
The old lady finally understood and couldn't help feeling embarrassed. She thought she was indeed too distant. The Li family really had nothing to say to her, Jiang Tao, and Hu Yong.
"Okay, I was overthinking it." The old lady replied embarrassedly, and then changed the subject and gave Hu Yong some instructions, telling him to be filial to Li Tieguo and listen to Li Zhenmin.
Li Zhenmin smiled and said, "Xiaoyong, you can ask me if you don't understand something in the future. If I'm not free, you can study hard with Liang Ladi and Yan Jiecheng. It's best to read more books while working. In case the college entrance examination is restored in the future, it's best to go to university. But don't feel pressured. It doesn't matter if you don't like studying. It's good enough to do your job well."
Xiaoyong immediately replied: "Okay, I will work hard."
The old lady didn't understand these things, but when she heard what Li Zhenmin said, she immediately told Xiaoyong: "You have always had good grades. Listen to your elder brother and study hard. Don't waste your time. You can go to university and become a high-ranking official in the future."
.........
the next day.
Li Zhenmin went to the steel rolling mill, and Director Yang immediately asked about the situation in the laboratory. Li Zhenmin did not disclose any information due to the confidentiality agreement, but only said that there should be news in a few days.
Director Yang immediately understood what he meant, and excitedly treated Li Zhenmin to a meal. Li Zhenmin also suggested that Li Tieguo give his job to Hu Yong, and Director Yang agreed without much thought.
Just after the meal, people from relevant departments came to the steel mill to find Li Zhenmin and took him away directly. Director Yang didn't know where he went, but he confirmed his previous guess again that the laboratory's research was likely to have a major breakthrough, and it wouldn't be long before the steel mill would also be able to benefit from it.
As for how big a breakthrough it is, we'll have to wait and see how it's reported in the newspapers in the next few days.
Li Zhenmin was taken directly to the Ministry of Health by people from relevant departments.
When he came over, other researchers had already arrived, including Wang Changman, Zheng Dexu and some other leaders that Li Zhenmin did not know.
Then everyone held another meeting.
The main purpose was to confirm some details of the research and let Li Zhenmin write a general report. It was more like a paper than a report. The leader said that this article would be published in a world-renowned medical journal, which would bring glory to the country.
At the same time, Li Zhenmin was asked to summarize the details of the liver cancer research and submit it to the country. He would also be given the title of honorary professor of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The institute is affiliated to the Ministry of Health, so Li Zhenmin has another job in the Ministry of Health and can receive another salary. He does not need to follow the arrangements of the institute and only needs to work when the Ministry of Health needs him.
In addition, a French Medal of Honor and a national talent research grant will be awarded.
Although the bonus was not much, it was worth it, so Li Zhenmin had no right to refuse it. However, he simply rejected the others.
The leaders were very surprised by this and asked the reason again.
Li Zhenmin thought that if he accepted the honorary professorship, it would be equivalent to having a position in the Ministry of Health and having to obey the Ministry's arrangements. By then, he would be exhausted from being ordered around by the Ministry.
However, although he thought so in his heart, he still expressed his plans for the future on the surface.
Upon hearing this, the leaders of the Ministry of Health immediately understood what it meant.
If what Li Zhenmin said is true, and that the focus will be placed on nuclear technology in the future, then that means he does not want to be dragged down by the Ministry of Health.
To be honest, the leader was unhappy and didn't believe it.
So I think Li Zhenmin feels that the reward is not good enough, maybe he is still dissatisfied with the previous arrangement of the Chinese Medical Research Institute.
This puts the leader in a difficult position.
They can't possibly punish the people from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine directly for this reason. Their excuse is untenable.
Li Zhenmin guessed what the leaders were thinking, so he took the initiative to explain, emphasizing that he was not really interested in this, but if the Ministry of Health needed it in the future, he could help a little.
After some discussion, the leaders finally agreed reluctantly. They still gave Li Zhenmin the title of honorary professor and he could still receive his salary, but there was no mandatory requirement for him to be on call at any time. This meant that Li Zhenmin's status was changed from a formal staff member to an external consultant expert.
Then Li Zhenmin made another request.
"We have only made preliminary achievements so far. I would like to wait until the finished drug is produced before summarizing the details of the research report. This will be more rigorous. Leaders, do you think this is okay?"
Li Zhenmin made such a request.
It seemed reasonable and there was nothing special about it, but only Li Zhenmin himself knew that this was just a way to delay time.
He hopes that during the period of time when the anti-liver cancer drugs are produced, the country will be able to investigate him carefully, understand what he wants most, and then give corresponding benefits.
If by any chance the country does not provide direct benefits by then, I can only use my poor health to delay the submission of the report.
Anyway, he was the only one who could write the report, and the other researchers were just making up the numbers. He felt that there were some things he could strive for, and he didn't think it was too much.
