Chapter 410 - 410 Inviting Professor Z Up The Stage! (1)
It felt like her glance conveyed too many emotions, and Shen Yuansong sensed something. Or maybe, her appearance here made Shen Yuansong understand her intentions. Hence, he directly lowered his voice and spoke, “Lass, don’t think of acknowledging me or whatnot. You won’t be able to go up the stage.”
Shen Yuansong pointed to the two passageways at the sides that could allow one to go up the stage. Each of the passageways was guarded by two security guards. They were muscular and looked very difficult to handle.
Shen Yuansong smiled. “These are guards I specially hired for the sake of this award ceremony. All of them are well-trained, so you don’t have to bother thinking about a plan to go up. Today, just sit here and relax. You can see the association your grandfather has managed all these years and also witness the strength of China’s scientific research.”
!!
After saying this, Shen Yuansong was a little proud. “Fifty years ago, our country was suppressed in all aspects when it came to scientific research and basically was inferior to international standards. But now, although there are still some areas where we cannot compare to them, the distance between us has shortened. In fact, in other areas, we have surpassed those people. Don’t look down on scientific research. It can make our country prosper!”
Shen Yuansong was a man with ideals and ambition.
Also, he had truly fought his entire life for his dreams.
After hearing his words, Shen Ruojing calmly lowered her eyelids. This was the first time she felt ashamed of a casual retirement life.
However, Shen Yuansong soon sighed. “It’s a pity I have no successor.”
The vice president beside him couldn’t help but add, “Yeah, you are going to retire as the president after this year. Are you certain of the new presidential candidate?”
Shen Yuansong frowned.
The vice president also sighed silently.
The future new president was an expert in quantum science. He was sixty this year, but his thinking was very conservative and wasn’t able to keep up with the changes in development. This was the reason why he often had different views from Shen Yuansong.
Once he became the new president, Shen Yuansong’s concept of free innovation, which he had adhered to all these years, would probably be subverted.
In addition, this person’s ego had recently swelled. It was as though he couldn’t wait for Shen Yuansong to retire and wanted to force the latter to do so earlier. This time around, the rumors were precisely circulated by this person in the shadows.
The vice president couldn’t help but say, “The presidents of research associations overseas are getting younger and younger. I heard the current research president of M-country is not even 40 years old. Why can’t we find a younger candidate?”
Shen Yuansong sighed. “How many youngsters among scientific researchers can convince the rest thoroughly?”
The vice president immediately thought of someone. “There’s one. How do you feel about Professor Z?”
The vice president glanced at Lu Hui in the distance. “Prof. Z has a very high status in the research world. Many young people take him as their role model, and he looks like he’s only in his thirties. If you wish to recommend him as a candidate, he might actually be selected!”
Shen Yuansong involuntarily glanced over and hesitated. “He never liked to participate in such events, but he suddenly came for the award ceremony this time. Also, we didn’t prepare any awards for him, so why did he suddenly appear? Did you ask him for the reason?”
“Yes.” The vice president sighed. “He said he suddenly felt like coming.”
“…”
When Shen Yuansong heard this, he pondered for a moment. “He’s pretty carefree. How is his moral character? We can try to understand him. If he can really lead the association in a better direction, I don’t mind recommending him as a candidate!”
The vice president hesitated. “His personality is aloof, and I’m afraid he isn’t too respectful of you. He isn’t someone from our camp…”
Shen Yuansong said righteously, “Our association is of service to scientific research as a whole and isn’t for the sake of the Shen Corporation. Old Liu, you shouldn’t be confused about the direction and form camps left and right!”
The vice president immediately lowered his head in acknowledgment. “It is my mistake.”
However, he was still reluctant as he sighed. “It is because you have no successor. If you had a child and if he or she had the slightest achievement in scientific research, they would be able to take over your position. At the very least, they wouldn’t abolish what you’ve established through the years.”
Shen Yuansong pursed his lips and subconsciously glanced at Shen Ruojing,
He also felt regret in his heart.
His daughter was a businesswoman, and she was extremely outstanding.
As for his granddaughter, she had learned medicine and chosen the path of arts. She had also managed to ascend to the peak of her chosen path as Qing Dai and Anonymous.
