Xueba starts with change

Chapter 667 The direction of the laboratory
Chen Zhou was in the office, after communicating with Zhang Yifan.

Say everything you need to say, everything you want to say.

Zhang Yifan finally understood what Chen Zhou expected of him.

Zhang Yifan didn't make a verbal promise, because it wasn't important at all.

No matter how much you talk, no matter how nice it sounds, it is a kind of false thing.

He will prove that he really understands through follow-up actions.

I stayed in the office for a while, and waited until all the experiments in the laboratory were completed.

Chen Zhou led Zhang Yifan and the entire experimental team out for dinner.

This is the first time Chen Zhou has invited the members of the experimental team to dinner.

Therefore, for the sake of convenience, Chen Zhou chose a barbecue restaurant in Huaguo City.

This is not to save money, after all, Chen Zhou has just received a reward of one million dollars.

It's just that eating barbecue has an atmosphere after all...

"Brother Chen, when will sister-in-law go back?"

Zhang Yifan took a bite of the skewer in his hand and said in a muffled voice.

Chen Zhou replied, "It's been about two months."

"So fast?" Zhang Yifan was slightly surprised.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that this was quite normal.

With Chen Zhou's thighs, it is normal to complete the entire postgraduate study in just over two years.

If he really followed the steps and finished his six-year postgraduate study, then Zhang Yifan would really feel that something was wrong.

Noticing the change in the expression on Zhang Yifan's face, Chen Zhou smiled softly and said, "Yiyi has never asked me for any help. She was able to complete her studies and graduate successfully in such a short period of time. Herself!"

"Brother Chen, haven't you helped Yiyi's sister-in-law?" Zhang Yifan obviously didn't believe it.

This is because I have such an awesome boss partner, so how can I let it go?

Chen Zhou nodded and explained: "Firstly, it's because Yiyi's major has turned to astrophysics, which is somewhat different from my field. I can't give good advice without knowing much about it. .”

"Secondly, do you think Yiyi needs my help? Have you forgotten that when we were in Yanda, we were nicknamed by our classmates?"

Zhang Yifan was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Wow, Brother Chen, if you don't tell me, I really ignored it. Sister-in-law Yiyi, who was also the peerless double pride of Yan University back then, really doesn't seem to need you very much..."

Hearing this, Chen Zhou couldn't help but feel a little weird.

He always felt that Zhang Yifan's words seemed to mean more than the superficial meaning.

However, he couldn't find any evidence.

"But..." Zhang Yifan changed the subject, gave Chen Zhou a slightly ambiguous look, and said narrowly, "Brother Chen, I still have to talk about you, you see that you care so much about us, how can you treat sister-in-law Yiyi differently?" Do you want to hear it or not? How sad is Yiyi's sister-in-law?"

Chen Zhou immediately reached out his hand and gave Zhang Yifan a shudder: "Do you want to be beaten, kid?"

Zhang Yifan laughed and said, "No, no, Brother Chen, I was just joking..."

Chen Zhou withdrew his hand, picked up the beer can, and touched Zhang Yifan: "Yiyi is a person with her own ideas, whether I help her in academics or not, she can find her own way, I also believe that, She can achieve her own achievements!"

When Chen Zhou said this, there was light in his eyes and a smile on his face.

Zhang Yifan, who had been looking at Chen Zhou, naturally noticed the expression on Chen Zhou's face.

He raised his head and took a sip of beer, and the decision in his heart became firmer.

At this time, Chen Zhou also stood up, and took the initiative to hold the beer can in his hand to the experimental team members sitting around.

"Everyone, I am very pleased with your performance today and the research attitude you have shown. I believe that you will achieve excellent research results, and I also believe that the research on DMD-2 material will definitely be in your hands. Come on, shock the world!"

"Today is also my first meeting with you, and I didn't bring any gifts to you. There is only one thing I can promise, that is, I will guarantee your experiment funding, guarantee your research, so that you can be in this In the field of research, keep moving forward!"

Chen Zhou's words naturally received a burst of applause.

The members of these experimental teams are all young people.

It is easy to be infected by these words.

In all fairness, although they only met Chen Zhou for the first time today, they are all very grateful to Chen Zhou for his support for the experiment and for their support.

One is that Chen Zhou provided them with the opportunity for formal research.

Instead of letting them be interns who may not even have the chance to get started with the experiment.

The other is the last paper.

Let them see that Chen Zhou is not the kind of boss who oppresses them.

If there are research results, Chen Zhou will share them and help them obtain certain academic honors.

This is what they are most grateful for.

This matter is also the capital they often brag about in front of their classmates.

Every time they mentioned it, their classmates were all envious.

After all, with an academic boss as the boss, he can still not encroach on your research results, and even hand over his own research results to you.

This is simply incredible, isn't it?

But they met.

But now, Chen Zhou's promise as a gift also means that he will continue to provide research funding for the entire experimental team.

It's an endorsement.

On behalf of Chen Zhou, they recognized their scientific research ability and recognized their experimental team.

This feeling of being recognized by the big boss made everyone feel a little relieved.

In addition, the former Chen Zhou never said that he would guarantee research funding.

They still remembered that Zhang Yifan asked them to save his face.

So now, does it mean that the boss they just rewarded with another million dollars has become rich?

Finally, they don't need to dig and search for experiments anymore?
Thinking of this, a member of the experimental team asked excitedly: "Professor Chen, do we have enough experimental reagents in the future?"

Chen Zhou looked at this person with a smile, nodded, and said, "That's right, we don't need to be as tight as before in terms of research funding. Let's give full play to your scientific research capabilities and produce research results that amaze the world." !"

"Yes! Great!"

"It's great! Don't worry about it anymore. After finishing the experiment today, there will be no raw materials tomorrow!"

"Thank you Professor Chen for your support!"

Chen Zhou, who heard these voices, also had a happy expression on his face.

These voices at least show that these people are people who really love research.

Otherwise, there would not be such a big reaction.

At this time, someone suddenly asked: "Professor Chen, can we also apply for projects by ourselves?"

Chen Zhou looked at this person, and soon, what Zhang Yifan said during the introduction in the afternoon corresponded to the face of the person in front of him.

"Xu Fan, you can understand that too." Chen Zhou directly called out the person's name, which surprised everyone present.

Especially Zhang Yifan, he didn't expect that he only introduced him once, and Chen Zhou matched the person with the name.

"But..." Chen Zhou paused, then continued, "The research project you applied for needs to pass my review first. Of course, I won't talk about it. If I don't think it passes, you If you still insist on your own ideas, then I will give you a chance to fully explain your reasons for applying for this subject, as long as you can convince me, that's fine too."

After Chen Zhou finished speaking, the members of the experimental team fell into silence for a while.

As for Xu Fan who asked this question, there was a strange look in his eyes.

He got the answer he wanted.

This is the team he really wants to be with.

Everyone has a chance and everyone can prove themselves.

As long as you are good enough.

"Thank you Professor Chen, I understand." Xu Fan bowed slightly to Chen Zhou and said sincerely.

Xu Fan's move attracted Chen Zhou's interest.

However, Chen Zhou didn't say anything more.

If Xu Fan can achieve anything in the future, then Chen Zhou will naturally know.

Therefore, Chen Zhou just greeted everyone and toasted together to celebrate that the experimental team was finally no longer struggling.

The atmosphere of the barbecue was also completely brought up.

In the afternoon, because they were busy with experiments, they didn't have time to greet Chen Zhou, and they didn't have time to ask Chen Zhou for advice. These members of the experimental team.

At this moment, they finally seized the opportunity and rushed towards Chen Zhou one by one.

For these people, Chen Zhou's mentality is completely different from the way he dealt with those scholars when he attended the banquet before.

After all, these are their own people, and they are all cultivated by themselves.

This spirit of being diligent and inquisitive seems to make people feel happy...

A barbecue also successfully narrowed the relationship between Chen Zhou and these experimental team members.

In fact, the members of these experimental teams did not expect it either.

According to outside rumors, he was not easy to get along with, and even refused to be interviewed by reporters many times.

It's actually so approachable and approachable, without any airs.

This also made them feel that the rumors from the outside world were still rumors, and they were not credible at all.

After the dinner, the departing experimental team members were also very polite and said goodbye to Chen Zhou one by one.

There are even some people who show a little bit of reluctance...

After everyone left, Chen Zhou looked at Zhang Yifan beside him.

Zhang Yifan also turned to look at Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou smiled slightly, and asked Zhang Yifan, "Any thoughts?"

Zhang Yifan picked up the beer can, took a sip, and said, "Brother Chen, I won't embarrass you."

Chen Zhou, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Why did you embarrass me? No, where did you think?"

Zhang Yifan said seriously: "I know, if it wasn't for you, Brother Chen, I would not have been able to form the experimental team that appeared, let alone lead this experimental team to conduct experimental research."

"I may not be a qualified team leader in many places, so there must be many of them who also feel that I am the leader of this team because of your relationship."

"Now, they also have the opportunity to apply for their own projects, and they will definitely want to prove themselves. But, Brother Chen, don't worry, no matter what they are, whether they are better than me, I will definitely work hard to be myself, and I will never be better than me. They're bad!"

Zhang Yifan dared to say these words after drinking.

Otherwise, he would definitely keep his words in his heart like he did in the afternoon until he proved himself.

These were also the words that bored him in his heart after seeing Chen Zhou make new adjustments.

He felt that he had disappointed Chen Zhou, that's why Chen Zhou made such an adjustment.

Chen Zhou restrained his smile, looked at Zhang Yifan, reached out and patted his shoulder.

Then he said: "Yifan, for now, you have proved yourself as a qualified team leader. So, you don't need to prove this again, you just need to keep doing this."

"As for the project application I told them, this is something that a mature experimental team must go through. As I said, we don't just talk about it, we need the strength of the team."

"The strength of the team comes from everyone, doesn't it? Everyone needs to contribute their own wisdom to make the entire experimental team stronger and stronger. Also, this is what I expect from you."

"Also, since I asked you to help me set up this experimental team, it was not on a whim. You should still remember what I told you about setting up a research institution like the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, right?"

Zhang Yifan nodded, he probably understood what Chen Zhou meant.

Sure enough, Chen Zhou continued: "This plan is a long-term plan that needs to be continuously expanded. The chemistry and materials science laboratory is an integral part of this plan, so it must also need to be expanded."

"So, I hope that you can lead them well and gain a firm foothold in the experimental research of chemistry and materials science. Then, grow into a mature experimental team in multi-directional fields!"

"Remember, I have always regarded you as the backbone of my research institute in the future..."

After Chen Zhou finished speaking, Zhang Yifan couldn't help scratching his head.

He said with a little embarrassment: "It's because my pattern is small..."

Chen Zhou said with a smile: "Well, the layout is small..."

After staying for another night, Chen Zhou also took care of the people who should be visited and the matters that should be explained.

On Zhang Yifan's side, Chen Zhou believed that after this in-depth discussion, he could grasp the direction of the laboratory.

For his two teachers, Chen Zhou had a little more emotion that he didn't know how to express.

He didn't know when it was time to say goodbye this time.

Or, can we meet again...

At Logan International Airport, Chen Zhou, standing on the gangway, couldn't help but glance back in the direction of MIT.

He was slightly moved.

But this is part of the laws of nature, man-made power, it is difficult to break.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for the stagnation of basic science.

Looking away, Chen Zhou continued to board the plane.

It took a long time to come out this time.

It's time to go back to China...
