Party Organization Life
Published a special issue paper in the Annals of Mathematics, and had his work on "Systematization and Hodge Conjecture" selected as one of Time magazine's Top Ten Scientific Breakthroughs of the Year and featured on the cover of Time magazine. These achievements earned Shen Qi a total of 1,200,122 academic points.
"Systematization and Hodge Conjecture" was completed by Shen Qi while he was in the United States. Shortly after he returned to China, the achievements of this paper were revealed to everyone.
Yenching University will include these achievements in the annual results of the new department, the Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center, since Shen Qi is currently employed there.
Before Shen Qi even had a chance to draft the department's annual business plan, the plan for his department had already been largely completed.
A research department's development plan includes numerous performance indicators such as research, personnel, cost, safety, social order and stability maintenance, family planning, Party and Youth League activities, and spiritual civilization construction. Among these, research is the most critical indicator and carries the highest weight.
Yenching University has been quite lenient with Shen Qi's department. In order to allow the Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center to focus on scientific research, Yenching University has not set rigid standards for other performance indicators of the center.
Of course, there can be no serious problems with the three indicators of safety, social order and stability, and family planning. As the head of the department, Shen Qi knew that these three indicators had a veto power, and if a major incident occurred, even the principal would be disqualified.
During departmental meetings, Shen Qi repeatedly emphasized that safety comes first, and that all employees must pay attention to safety, abide by laws and regulations, and refrain from causing trouble at all times.
Currently, the center has five employees, two men and three women, all of whom are single. Shen Qi also discussed family planning issues, emphasizing that safety should always come first.
Shen Qi went to the general affairs office and said to Cui Xiaoyi, the human resources clerk, "We still need to hire a married person. As for family planning, we unmarried people only have a superficial understanding of it; our knowledge is not comprehensive or in-depth enough."
"A department should have at least two finance staff. Currently, our department is in its initial stage and we only have Wen Yan our finance staff. Director Shen, how about we hire another finance staff member?" Cui Xiaoyi suggested.
"Yes, that's fine. Ideally, we'd hire a married woman who is easygoing, patient, meticulous, and has a CPA qualification, to oversee family planning as well," Shen Qi explained the hiring criteria.
"I do have a suitable candidate to recommend, my senior colleague. She perfectly meets Director Shen's requirements," said Wen Yan, the finance clerk. The three women all worked in the same office.
"Sure, Wen Yan will take care of this for Xiaoyi." Shen Qi knew that Wen Yan graduated from the Central University of Finance and Economics, and her senior's professional skills wouldn't be lacking.
"Okay, I'll ask my senior." Wen Yan worked for a foreign company before coming to the center, and perhaps it was a professional habit, but she always wore a business suit to work.
"Yes, Wen Yan." Cui Xiaoyi never wears formal attire; her clothes are all casual, girly outfits bought online.
"It's all for work. We sisters look out for each other." Wen Yan, two years older than Cui Xiaoyi, picked up a copy of Time magazine from the table and waved it at Shen Qi: "Director Shen, the cover story is about a handsome man."
"So handsome, so handsome!" Cui Xiaoyi snatched the magazine "Times" from Wen Yan's hand, and as she looked at it, she almost wanted to lick it.
"Cui Xiaoyi, can you please read the magazine properly?" Shen Qi said with a smile, then turned and walked towards the office door.
"Director Shen, please wait a moment." Another female employee Sang Tian, called out to Shen Qi. She graduated from the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Yenching University and entered Yenching University in the same year as Shen Qi. She started writing online novels in her freshman year. After graduation, she did not look for a job and continued to pursue literary creation. After several years of unsuccessful writing, she went to work at Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center.
Shen Qi stopped and turned around to ask, "Oh? Is there anything else, Sang Tian?"
"I suggest that we convene a meeting of the Party Group of the Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center as soon as possible." Sang Tian is considered one of the better-looking female writers. She had encountered a bottleneck in her literary career and came to the center to seek a stable job.
"What topics were discussed at the Party group meeting?" Shen Qi asked.
"Let's discuss Comrade Shen Qi's application to join the Party," Sang Tian said. She is responsible for internal and external coordination matters at the center, including Party, labor union, and youth league affairs.
"It was very difficult for me to join the Party. I submitted my application in my sophomore year, and the organization has been observing me for more than five years, but I still haven't been admitted." Shen Qi approved Sang Tian's proposal and immediately convened a meeting of the Party group of the Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center.
Cui Xiaoyi, Wen Yan, and Sang Tian come from a public institution, a foreign company, and a home-based organization, respectively. All three female employees are members of the Communist Party of China, having joined the Party while in university.
The Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center is an institution at the same level as the various colleges of Yenching University. According to the requirements of the Party, a Party Committee or Party Branch of the Research Center should be established.
The problem is that the current leaders of these three outstanding female Party members are not Party members.
Director Shen is not a Party member, so the center's Party Affairs work is currently carried out in the form of Party groups.
The moment Director Shen joins the Party and becomes a full member, the Party group of the Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center will be upgraded to the Party Committee or Party Branch of the Center.
Another option is to immediately establish a Party Committee or Party Branch for the Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center, with Yenching University appointing a comrade as its secretary.
Shen Qi did not accept the second option. He either served as the center's secretary and director, or the center would never establish a party committee or party branch.
If it were anyone else, the school would definitely have forced a central secretary to take their place, but Shen Qi is no ordinary person, and the school respects his wishes.
Xiao Junlong and Ma Chaofan were both ordinary citizens who had never written a self-criticism report or submitted an application to join the Party; they couldn't even be considered activists.
The three female Party members with voting rights at the center successfully convened their first Party group meeting under the Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center of Sang Tian, the Party group leader.
Comrade Shen Qi did not seek special privileges; he demanded that the procedures for joining the Party be strictly followed in accordance with the relevant Party regulations.
Following democratic evaluation and voting by comrades Cui Xiaoyi, Wen Yan, and Sang Tian, the meeting approved Comrade Shen Qi's application to join the Party, with a one-year probationary period. The meeting materials will be submitted to the Yanjing University Party Committee after they are compiled.
"Comrades, you've worked hard. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. We'll have a meal, then sing karaoke and go to the spa." Shen Qi suggested immediately starting Party organization activities after joining the Party.
"Yes! Director Shen is wise! We will always follow the Party!" The three female Party members felt the warmth of the organization and were deeply moved, which further strengthened their political belief in fighting for the cause of communism for the rest of their lives.
After learning about the relevant notices regarding Party organization activities, Xiao Junlong, from the Mathematics Room next door, actively requested that the Party organization include him, an ordinary citizen, in order to further enhance his political awareness, gradually move closer to the Party, and ultimately meet the standards of a Party member, hoping to be accepted into the Party organization one day.
"What stage has the research on the Moran Set reached?" Shen Qi asked Xiao Junlong.
Xiao Junlong reported, "You've approved the project proposal. While waiting for the research funding to arrive, I've begun the derivation and proof of the three lemmas."
"You haven't finished proving the three lemmas yet? Da Long, you haven't made any substantial progress academically lately." Shen Qi shook his head and suggested, "It's not appropriate to invite non-Party members to our center's first Party organization activity. How about this, you write a few more self-criticism reports recently, actively move closer to the organization, and we will invite activists to participate in the next organizational activity."
"Well, well, it seems my political awareness still needs further improvement. I also hope the Party organization will not relax its supervision and observation of me." Xiao Junlong glanced at the general affairs office intentionally or unintentionally and found that three outstanding female Party members were touching up their makeup. The one drawing her eyebrows was making her eyes expressive, and the one applying lip gloss was smiling slightly.
