The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

"Do you want to smoke?" Lin Zhiyuan took out a soft cigarette from his pocket.

Liao Jinsheng nodded unceremoniously, "Hua Zi, I'll smoke one then!"

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and handed him a cigarette. The two of them sat opposite each other, puffing smoke, which made Yuan Fei, who was standing aside, very angry.

Liao Jinsheng's behavior in front of Lin Zhiyuan was, at best, careless, and at worst, ignorant. People who can't tell the difference between high and low have no future in the workplace.

Lin Zhiyuan took a puff of his cigarette and took out a piece of written material from the drawer. "Xiao Liao, I read the email you sent me some time ago. I even printed it out specially."

Before Lin Zhiyuan finished speaking, Liao Jinsheng's back straightened up instantly. Everyone has something that he values, and Liao Jinsheng is no exception. He thinks that he is a talent that is not appreciated, so he uses a bohemian appearance to cover himself up. However, when it comes to something that he really cares about, he can also distinguish the importance of it, otherwise he would not have been able to get two bachelor's degrees and two master's degrees in one go.

"I read your email and felt that many of the opinions in it were very accurate. It can be said that it was a very thorough analysis of the current chaos in the scientific research of many institutes. It is not an exaggeration to say that it hits the nail on the head. I had wanted to have a good chat with you a long time ago, but as you know, the group had too many trivial matters during the preparation period, so this matter has been delayed. It just so happens that we have time today, so can we discuss this email of yours?"

Liao Jinsheng couldn't help but nodded. He felt excited to be valued by the leaders, especially the future head of the group.

It turns out that Director Lin does have some vision.

"Xiao Liao, your email mentioned that many scientific research institutes now have the phenomenon of seniority-based promotion, and even plagiarism, stealing credit, and suppressing newcomers are not uncommon. After reading it, I was deeply touched. As the most important military electronics company in our country, the importance of scientific research in China Electronics Technology Group is self-evident. If scientific research is messed up, it would be like shaking the foundation of a building."

"Director Lin, you are absolutely right. Let me give you a few simple examples! After I started working, I participated in the research of two projects. To be frank, I made decisive contributions to these two projects. Without me, there would be no such results. However, when the merits were finally awarded, the leader did not mention my contribution at all. My name was only listed among the participants. Haha, participant? I was so angry that I quarreled with the leader. The leader was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, so he compromised and listed me in the list of contributors. However, the two respected seniors in our institute, who did not do any work, became the biggest contributors."

Liao Jinsheng's mouth was dry as he spoke. He grabbed the teacup on the table and took a big gulp. "Director Lin, to be honest, I don't really care about fame and fortune. I didn't care about that pitiful little bonus. But I just can't help but feel angry. Why do those people become heroes? Is it just because they are old and have more experience? Obviously, most of the work is done by young people like us..."

When Liao Jinsheng was venting his grievances, Lin Zhiyuan always listened with a smile, which made Liao Jinsheng feel very comfortable and his impression of Lin Zhiyuan changed drastically.

He felt that Mr. Lin was someone who understood him.

"Xiao Liao, are you done?"

"No, Director Lin, what I really want to say is that if this continues, the enthusiasm of young and middle-aged researchers will be worn out, and they will become like the old predecessors, living a life of idleness and waiting for death. After they become old predecessors, they will suppress the younger generations and seize the results. If everyone is like this, then is there any hope for our group?"

"Well said, Xiao Liao, have you ever thought about how to change all this?"

"This..." Lin Zhiyuan's question stumped Liao Jinsheng. He thought for a long time and said, "Director Lin, I'm not a leader. This shouldn't be a problem for me (Hexie) to worry about. But since you asked this, I'll just chat with you for a while."

"Okay, you can say whatever you want, and the speaker is innocent."

"I think the root of the problem lies with the leadership. If the leadership could be truly fair and just and treat everyone equally, those so-called seniors wouldn't dare to do this."

Lin Zhiyuan laughed twice. Liao Jinsheng was a little angry and his unruly attitude was released again. "Why, Mr. Lin, do you think what I said is wrong?"

"Xiao Liao, I've read your file. I remember you have a bachelor's degree in law and a master's degree in business administration. Since you studied law and management, you shouldn't have said what you just said."

"Then Mr. Lin, can you give me some advice?" Liao Jinsheng was very unconvinced.

"If you are the director of your institute now and have a new project, would you rather hand it over to a senior who has made achievements and is mature and steady, or to a young person whom you don't understand?"

"This..." Liao Jinsheng was speechless for a moment. He wanted to refute Lin Zhiyuan, but he felt that what Lin Zhiyuan said made sense.

"From a prudent perspective, leaders would definitely prefer to trust senior colleagues who have made achievements, right? Moreover, Shenzhou is a society based on personal relationships. These senior colleagues may be the leaders' elders or even teachers. With so many inseparable relationships, leaders naturally have to consider all of them."

"Director Lin, according to what you said, these phenomena cannot be solved?"

"You've studied management, haven't you? Try using your manager's mindset to deal with these problems."

"If it were me, I would hand over the project to someone who is capable."

“So how do you tell who’s capable?”

“Let them write papers, and whoever has a deeper understanding of the new topic will be appointed as the project leader.”

"Who is the judge then?"

"We can let all the staff in the institute act as referees." Under Lin Zhiyuan's guidance, Liao Jinsheng began to think about the steps step by step.

"That's a good idea, but the topic is back to square one. Those seniors have worked in the institute for so many years, so they must be better at interpersonal relationships than young people, right? Many people play the emotional card and vote for the seniors. This phenomenon I'm talking about is very easy to happen. You see, things have gone around and around and are back to the starting point. In the end, these seniors are still responsible for the new projects."

"Favors, damn favors again..." Liao Jin clenched his fists angrily.

"Xiao Liao, you've actually just come close to a solution to the problem."

"Really?" Liao Jinsheng raised his head, his eyes still confused, "Director Lin, then what do you think we should do?"

"We can establish a new evaluation system. When selecting the project leader, the evaluation panel cannot be composed of people from the unit. We can choose a third party to intervene. This way, the emotional card will be invalid and it will be as fair and just as possible."

"Yes, Director Lin's idea is good."

"That's why I insisted on setting up a scientific research center and a science and technology association throughout the group. I hope to use the system to change this chaos and get the group's scientific research work back on track as soon as possible."

"System..." Liao Jinsheng kept repeating the word, and then he slapped his thigh, "Director Lin, you said it very well, you really think more comprehensively than I do."
