Doing Something

Since things had come to this, Dean Ning felt it would be difficult to retain the ten physics researchers, so he decided to go all the way and say, "Academician Shen, the ten researchers are yours. Go ahead and process the personnel transfer."

Shen Qi cupped his hands in thanks. "If Dean Ning ever needs my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

"No problem, no problem."

"Our center building is finished, but the main equipment hasn't arrived yet. Even when the equipment arrives, it will still differentiate us from the Physics Department. That is to say, we won't buy the equipment that the Physics Department already has. Instead, we will add some equipment that the Physics Department doesn't have, so we can complement each other."

"No problem, no problem."

"Dean Ning, what I mean is that we'll still need to borrow equipment from the Institute of Physics for some experiments in the future. We also welcome colleagues from the Institute of Physics to visit our center often; our center's equipment and resources are always open to the Institute of Physics."

"No problem, no problem." Dean Ning acted like an NPC, agreeing to everything.

Shen Qi felt embarrassed. "Brother, you've been helping me ever since I returned to China, lending me things and equipment, running around for me. I haven't been able to help you much, I really feel bad about it, I'm so sorry, Brother Ning."

Dean Ning waved his hand and said, "Brother Shen, you flatter me. Besides, it's not me helping you, but the country and Yenching University helping you. The Physics Department is not my private property. I'm just doing my job as the dean of the Physics Department. My term will eventually end, but your great cause will continue. After all, you're only in your twenties, and your golden research career still has at least thirty years left. This is what they mean by 'those who act justly will find many supporters, while those who act unjustly will find few.'"

People who speak well often have high emotional intelligence. Shen Qi thanked Dean Ning again and then arranged for his subordinates to handle the handover procedures for the 10 physics researchers.

Internal staff transfers within the school are not a big deal; if the employees are willing, the heads of the two departments just need to reach an agreement.

Ten physics researchers, including Tang Yuan, were quickly assigned to the Physics Room at Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center, where Shen Qi restructured the Physics Room.

Shen Qi also serves as the director of the Physics Room, which has a Condensed Matter Physics Group under it, with Tang Yuan the group leader. This group is well-equipped, with 11 researchers including the group leader, and is currently the main force of the physics section of Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center.

Parallel to the Condensed Matter Physics group is the Quantum Physics group, with Dr. Sha Dongdong serving as the interim group leader; he is currently the only member in the group.

The center's organizational structure and operational mechanisms are becoming increasingly sophisticated, although there are still areas that need improvement.

In the physics field, 11 of the 12 physicists under Shen Qi are engaged in experimental physics and applied physics.

Dr. Sha Dongdong is the only purely theoretical physicist.

When the center was first established, Shen Qi wrote in his business plan: to build a Chinese version of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study with socialist characteristics.

The American Princeton Institute for Advanced Study) is almost entirely focused on theoretical research.

While the Chinese version of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study possesses certain socialist characteristics, it cannot completely abandon basic theoretical research.

Shen Qi has a background in basic theoretical research, and his next plan is to strengthen the basic theoretical research work in the central physics section.

Shen Qi chatted with Sha Dongdong: "Old Sha, you graduated from the Physics Department of Wuhan University. If you have any classmates or friends, you can invite them to the center for interviews. I'm referring to people engaged in Basic Physics Theoretical Research. I can't ask Dean Ning for more people; that's not appropriate."

"Yes, I do. My fellow students have similar majors to mine. Let me ask," Sha Dongdong said, then asked, "Boss Shen, I'm confident I can bring at least two fellow students over. They're talented in fundamental theoretical physics research. Also, I have a favor to ask: could you perhaps bring along one more person who's just passing by?"

"Just passing by?" Shen Qi asked.

Sha Dongdong explained, "Can Boss Shen help me resolve my family issues?"

"I see, I understand," Shen Qi said. "That's no problem. Where does your wife work, and what exactly does she do?"

"I'm not married yet. My girlfriend just graduated from Wuhan University, the same school as me, majoring in law. She's currently working at a private company in another city as a secretary in the general manager's office, which isn't related to her major, and she's unhappy with her job. Besides, long-distance relationships are fraught with difficulties, so... I'd like to ask Boss Shen for a small favor to help me resolve my worries." Sha Dongdong earnestly made his request.

Shen Qi made a suggestion. "Wuhan University's law program is indeed a mismatch between your major and your job. Your girlfriend is wasting her talents by being a secretary to a private company CEO. I happen to be short of a secretary, and all the leaders at my level have secretaries. How about this, have your girlfriend come to the center and be my secretary."

"This..." Sha Dongdong was shocked. Be your secretary? Being your secretary would be beneath him? It would be a perfect match for his major?

"Old Sha, what's with that expression?" Shen Qi laughed and said, "Just kidding. The university has already arranged a secretary for me; it's a male secretary, and he'll be here soon. I can tell you care a lot about your girlfriend. How about this, give me her resume first, and I'll arrange for her to go to another department at Yanda University, trying to ensure it's a good fit for her major. But it's hard to say for sure; let's just put her in there if there's a vacancy. We can adjust it later if there's an opportunity."

"I'd be happy to work at Yenching University, any department is fine. Thank you so much, Academician Shen!" Sha Dongdong thanked his boss, knowing that Shen Qi had connections and that arranging an ordinary position at Yenching Boss Shen.

"Oh, so it doesn't have to be related to your major again?" Shen Qi understood Dr. Sha's real needs. As long as Dr. Sha's girlfriend wasn't made a secretary, it would be fine if he could arrange for her to work at Yenching University or in the capital.

Sha Dongdong quickly gave Shen Qi his girlfriend's resume and thanked him profusely.

Shen Qi looked at Sha Dongdong's girlfriend's resume. The girl in the photo had a dignified appearance, a bachelor's degree, and was very young.

Sha Dongdong is a physics PhD graduate who is nearly ten years older than his undergraduate girlfriend. Old Sha has some tricks up his sleeve when it comes to flirting.

Shen Qi gave Sha Dongdong's girlfriend's resume to Director Qi of the Yanda Technology Transfer Center.

"Old Qi, it's like this. This young lady is the family member of one of my physics researchers. She graduated from Wuhan University with a law degree. Your center needs legal talent, right? Could you arrange something for her? I know a bachelor's degree is a bit low, but then again, in the legal field, academic qualifications don't really matter, right? What you value is a lawyer's license."

"Does she have a law license?" Director Qi asked.

"She's so young, less than a year out of college, how could she possibly have a lawyer's license? But youth is an asset. She can learn and improve on the job, and under the careful guidance of legal expert Director Qi, she can gradually grow into a licensed and capable legal professional."

"Since Academician Shen has recommended this talent, I can't refuse. I'll do my best to arrange it."

"Thank you, Lao Qi."

Shen Qi was well-connected at Yenching University. His principle in helping people was that he either wouldn't agree at all, or if he did, he would definitely do it perfectly.

If a subordinate isn't too disliked by the leader, a leader with a wide network and good connections will usually help the subordinate resolve employment issues for their family members, which is beneficial to the stable development of the team.

A few days later, Shen Qi's secretary arrived—a capable young man who had previously worked in the Party Affairs Office.

The center's staff is gradually expanding, currently numbering 26. Though small, it is fully functional, possessing all the necessary job responsibilities.

With someone helping Shen Qi with the center's various tasks, Shen Qi was able to find time to conduct his drug research and toxicology experiments.

Having consumed hundreds of Xiao Bai, Shen Qi had become highly proficient in dissection. He then began to delve into pharmacology and conduct experiments on drug synthesis.

First, Shen Qi needs to fully understand the pharmacological properties of the medication that Ou Ye has been taking for a long time.

The samples have been received. There are two main types of medication that Ou Ye takes long-term: one in tablet form and the other in capsule form.

The anemia that Ou Ye suffered from is medically known as Morris Anemia. This chronic disease was first discovered by the German physician Merchuk. This type of anemia is extremely difficult to cure and often lasts a lifetime, requiring medication to suppress the symptoms.

Ou Ye also has a problem with her Immune System; the medical diagnosis is Autoimmune Disease.

The essence of Autoimmune Disease is that the Immune System mistakenly targets our own tissues. These diseases are often difficult to cure and tend to recur. 75% of patients with Autoimmune Disease are women, distributed across all age groups.

Anemia combined with attacks from the body's own Immune System can cause patients to experience symptoms such as lethargy, weakness, chills, and fever. In severe cases, it can lead to shock or even death.

Taking medication long-term is a very painful experience, causing great physical and mental suffering.

But not taking medication is not an option; the instinct for survival and the hope of returning to health make patients grit their teeth and persevere.

It hasn't been easy for Ou Ye to get through all these years. The medications she takes are expensive imported drugs that aren't covered by medical insurance and can't be reimbursed.

The most crucial problem is that Ou Ye has been taking imported medicine for over ten years, but her illness hasn't been cured.

Ou Ye stopped taking Western medicine after becoming pregnant.

Shen Qi had to do something. Over the years, he had solved countless important academic problems, serving his country and the world.

The thing Shen Qi least wanted to see was that he had saved the whole world, but couldn't save his wife.
