356: None of the four experts are suitable for the new project

"General Manager Lai, you've worked hard. Get some rest early. We'll talk more when we meet tomorrow." Liu Xiaolin finished speaking and hung up the phone.

Unexpectedly, Lai Junying was so quick. He had already cleared out the area for the new workshop. It seemed he understood what was important and what could wait.

"Oh right, I need to go talk to the four experts about who will go to the new workshop. Otherwise, I won't know how to discuss the research personnel issue with Director Wang when we sign the contract tomorrow," Liu Xiaolin said to Hong Tongtong. "You can review for a bit longer. I'll be back after I talk to them."

"Okay, go ahead," Hong Tongtong agreed.

Liu Xiaolin walked out of the dormitory and headed straight for Li Zhaolong's dormitory not far away.

Among the four experts, Li Zhaolong was the youngest and had the most contact with Liu Xiaolin, so the two got along very well.

He knocked on the door. After a "Please come in" from inside, he pushed the door open and entered.

"Professor Li, what are you busy with?" Liu Xiaolin asked.

"Hey, just busy with nothing much. I'm looking at the summary of today's Chip production. Something wrong?" Li Zhaolong looked up at Liu Xiaolin and asked.

"Are you free now? If you are, I'll call the other three experts over. There's something I want to discuss with you all," Liu Xiaolin said.

"I'm free. Go call them over. I'll brew a pot of good tea and wait for you," Li Zhaolong said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll go now." Liu Xiaolin finished speaking and went to knock on the doors of the others, gathering them all in Li Zhaolong's dormitory.

When they were seated in Li Zhaolong's dormitory, the tea was already brewed.

"This is white tea I specifically brewed for you. Drinking it at night won't affect your sleep," Li Zhaolong said while pouring a cup of tea for everyone.

"Hmm, this white tea is really good, similar to the tea in our pantry," Zhuang Wuya said after taking a sip.

"We didn't come just for a tea tasting, did we?" Lu Yifan asked while drinking tea.

"Yeah, there must be something to talk about, right?" Yang Zhenzhi asked.

"Yes, there's something I need to discuss with you all," Liu Xiaolin said after taking a sip of tea. "Today, I accompanied Minister Yang and the others to inspect Langfang Fine Carving. The morning went quite smoothly. In the afternoon, Director Zhao actually wanted to give us a science and technology research and development project."

"Huh? The Ministry of Science and Technology is directly assigning us a task?" Li Zhaolong asked in surprise.

"It's not just the Ministry of Science and Technology, but also the Environmental Protection Agency. Director Zhao assigned us the task that those two agencies are collaborating on," Liu Xiaolin said.

"What exactly is the task?" Zhuang Wuya was very curious.

"Public Wireless Charging System," Liu Xiaolin said.

"Oh, is it designing a type of wireless charging pad and then installing it in public areas to make it convenient for people who find it difficult to charge outside?" Zhuang Wuya asked.

"That's right. This kind of public Wireless Charging System already has a certain scale in Beautiful Country, so the Environmental Protection Agency hopes to benefit our people and therefore proposed this science and technology research and development project," Liu Xiaolin said.

"This is a good thing. Wireless charging appearing in public areas is a good thing for making travel convenient for everyone," Lu Yifan said.

"Yes, but the problem now is who will push this project forward?" Liu Xiaolin said, frowning.

"First of all, I can't do it. My major doesn't match," Li Zhaolong said directly.

"It seems my major doesn't match either," Zhuang Wuya also said.

"It seems I'm slightly related here, but I really don't have research and development experience in this area," Yang Zhenzhi said.

"My major also seems somewhat related, but my research direction is completely opposite to Wireless Charging," Lu Yifan said.

"Then what should we do? Do we have to find talents with relevant majors again?" Liu Xiaolin felt completely disheartened.

"I suggest that professional matters should be handled by professionals," Li Zhaolong said. "This is a science and technology research and development project assigned by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Environmental Protection Agency. We cannot be careless at all."

"Yes, even if one of us is forced to take charge of this project, if we're not professional, we'll be completely lost, and delaying the project in the end will be even more troublesome," Zhuang Wuya said.

"Yes, Professor Zhuang is right. It's not that we are unwilling to go, but rather that we are a bit far from this major. Not to mention that different fields are like mountains apart, this research and development project really needs a talent with a relevant major to be developed," Lu Yifan said.

"Yes, my opinion is the same as theirs," Yang Zhenzhi said.

Liu Xiaolin was even more dumbfounded now. None of the four experts were good at research related to Wireless Charging. Where else could he find talents in this area?

"Since you all think your majors don't match, do you have any talents you can recommend?" Liu Xiaolin asked, holding onto the last bit of hope.

"The scientists I know are all in my own major. I can't recommend talents from other majors to you," Li Zhaolong said, shaking his head.

Then the other three experts also shook their heads, indicating that no one could be recommended.

Liu Xiaolin now truly regretted taking on this task. He had originally thought that he could pick any one of the four experts to take the lead, but he didn't expect none of them were in this major. Where could he find experts in the relevant major now?

Seeing Liu Xiaolin's dejected look, Li Zhaolong offered him an idea: "Have you forgotten about the Ministry of Science and Technology? Every year, they commend a large number of experts in Dragon Country. Among these experts, there must be talents with relevant majors! You can ask Director Zhao of the Ministry of Science and Technology for help. Doesn't he specifically manage expert files? Asking him will definitely work."

"That's right, why didn't I think of that? Yesterday, he even said he was a talent scout. He definitely has resources for experts in various fields." Liu Xiaolin suddenly became happy again. With Director Zhao as a talent pool, did he still need to worry about not finding experts?

Besides, finding experts is also serving the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Environmental Protection Agency. They have a responsibility to help find suitable experts.

"Alright, it seems this cup of tea tonight wasn't drunk in vain. We finally came up with a good idea for General Manager Liu," Lu Yifan said with a smile.

"Since we have an idea, let's break up. I still have a bit of work to finish," Yang Zhenzhi was the first to propose leaving.

"Alright, let's all disperse then." Liu Xiaolin knew that the experts all had things to do, so he stopped taking up their time.

After everyone dispersed, Liu Xiaolin returned to Hong Tongtong's dormitory: "Still reading? Take a break."

"You're back? How did the talk go?" Hong Tongtong put down her book when she saw Liu Xiaolin return.

"Not great. None of the four experts are in the relevant major, so none of them can go to the new project," Liu Xiaolin said, shaking his head. "But Professor Li gave me an idea to ask Director Zhao for people."

"That's a good idea. There should be many experts in the Ministry of Science and Technology," Hong Tongtong said.

"The problem is, will those experts be willing to work for me?" Liu Xiaolin said worriedly.
