Li Rongmao’s employnt contract still has one year to go!
The tal Research Institute is a key national research unit, and Li Rongmao is still working on a major project related to aviation; as long as he doesn’t agree to go through the resignation procedures, he can’t possibly work anywhere else.
Peng Engui was very confident about this, but there were still many people in the team discussing Li Rongmao’s situation.
"I heard Xiao Li doesn’t want to do it anymore."
"Why doesn’t he want to do it? Isn’t he about to be promoted to associate researcher? Once he’s promoted, the perks are going to be so much better."
"But Academician Peng is also to bla, Xiao Li should have been promoted long ago, with his qualifications he could have been promoted two years ago, and his regular accomplishnts, he did the most, like that new material last ti... In the end, he only got nominal credit..."
"Don’t talk about those things! It won’t be good if Academician Peng hears it."
"This ti Xiao Li seems really upset, but being upset is useless. If you ask , it’s best to just wait it out; promotion is certain, it’s just a matter of ti. Where else could he find a job? Beco a lecturer at a university? How many years would he have to toil to beco an associate professor, besides he never studied abroad..."
This was the biggest problem with Li Rongmao’s resu.
Ph.D. graduates from dostic universities are not given as much attention compared to those from top international universities. It’s very easy for Ph.D.s from top international schools to find a lecturing job back ho, and with a post-doctoral history and recognized research achievents, they could even bypass the lecturer position and be directly hired as associate professors.
Li Rongmao didn’t have overseas experience, and although he had many national projects to his na and sufficient accomplishnts, so of the achievents were of a ’confidential’ nature, aning only national departnts knew what he had done, which made it difficult for him to find work at ordinary universities.
Therefore, people in Peng Engui’s team all felt that staying at the tal Research Institute was the best choice.
Other national material departnts were also an option, but there were few choices like that of Fei Haicang’s; only the Capital Aviation Material Research Institute or joining so large-scale project developnt, but then Li Rongmao was only an ’Assistant Researcher,’ and rank was the biggest issue.
Peng Engui was certain that Li Rongmao wouldn’t find any good job, but he was still very angry that Li Rongmao was not coming to work. If it were anyone else acting like this, he would have directly kicked them out of the team, but he genuinely didn’t want to let go of Li Rongmao.
Afternoon.
Peng Engui gathered everyone together and discussed the research and developnt direction for a while. Just before the eting ended, he spoke seriously about Li Rongmao, "So people still have issues with their work attitude!"
"Facing a national project and not showing up to work out of petty spite is a very serious problem."
"If anyone has this problem again, whether it’s appraisals, overall results, or papers, whatever I can decide on, forget about it!"
Peng Engui was very blunt.
This blunt statent had a lot of impact. The research team worked together on research and developnt, and the credit for achievents would certainly be divided at various levels, but who contributed the most was definitely decided by the team leader, and ordinary researchers’ opinions didn’t matter.
The appraisal was like an annual review by the team leader on his staff, and getting the best appraisal certainly benefited future promotions.
Both points were crucial.
Peng Engui’s speech was ant for everyone’s ears; it was a deterrent, otherwise, if others followed Li Rongmao’s example, the team would beco unmanageable.
Moreover, so people were close to Li Rongmao, so his words would definitely reach Li Rongmao’s ears.
Therefore, Peng Engui continued, "Xiao Li, it’s the first ti, so I have decided to not pursue it. It’s normal for young people to occasionally act out, and they should be given a chance, but let there not be a next ti!"
This was giving him a way out.
He hoped that Li Rongmao would co back to work, otherwise, he would beco very busy, and Li Rongmao played a very significant role in the team, with his departure having a substantial impact as well.
After Peng Engui finished, he was about to disperse the eting.
Just then, a commotion ca from the door, and he turned his head to see several people in military uniforms. He imdiately stood up and asked with perplexity, "What’s going on? What is this?"
An officer-like figure spoke emotionlessly, "Are you Academician Peng Engui?"
"Yes, that’s ."
"Academician Peng, hello." The officer’s tone was actually very courteous, "We’ve co to retrieve Professor Li Rongmao’s files, and there is a docunt that needs your signature."
"Li Rongmao... Professor?"
Peng Engui stood there, stunned.
The others in the eting room started discussing, "Li Rongmao? Professor? Did I hear that wrong? Could there be so mistake?"
"Xiao Li beca a professor?"
"What are these people here for? To transfer Xiao Li’s files? Has he done sothing wrong?"
"I have no idea!"
Peng Engui didn’t know how to react at first, and by the ti he ca to his senses and began to ask questions, the officer simply ignored him and produced a docunt for Peng Engui to sign, with the curt remark, "This is an order from the higher-ups!"
The docunt was a consent form for personnel to leave the project, and it essentially ant "Peng Engui agrees for Li Rongmao to leave the project."
Peng Engui knew that once he signed the consent form, Li Rongmao would be free to leave his team, as he was only an ’Assistant Researcher’ and only had a ’temporary worker’ contract with the tal Research Institute, so leaving directly wouldn’t have much impact.
But...
Faced with a few ard military personnel’s ’coercion,’ Li Rongmao leaving or not seed like a minor issue.
After the officer urged again, "Academician Peng, please hurry," Peng Engui decisively signed his na and even pressed his thumbprint at the side. Then the group in military uniforms quickly left, seemingly heading to the administrative building next door, probably to find the head of the institute, Zhou Guangyuan.
