Chapter 625: No Way!
For future research topics, each university would have different responsibilities. Although mathematics was a tool, everyone’s research direction was different.
People like Feng Xingshen and Li Fan were the best in their respective fields of research.
No one was more advanced than them!
Feng Xingshen was very good at mathematics, but he was only good at his research specialization. The mathematics knowledge point that Xue Xi needed was Li Fan’s.
This was the reason why Feng Xingshen had to humble himself today.
Feng Xingshen felt a little anxious when Li Fan rejected him.
However, Li Fan sneered and said, “Old Feng, it’s not that I’m looking down on Sister Xi, but how can she possibly complete a project as difficult as a light source machine? Right now, she’s duped so many people to do this research, but what about in the end? If she doesn’t succeed, it’ll be a huge joke!”
Li Fan frowned. “Moreover, I know that you’ve been wanting to lead Huaxia University’s Math Department to become the foremost in the country for all these years. This research project of mine is very important. How can I let you guys use it so easily?”
“Old Feng, the light source machine is impossible to achieve, but you urged Sister Xi to study it. I can’t help but suspect your intentions right now!”
Feng Xingshen was stunned. “What do you mean?”
Li Fan: “In the name of supporting Sister Xi and China, you’re forcing the rest of us to divulge the most advanced knowledge we possess. Don’t tell me you’re paving the way for Huaxia University’s future!”
His words silenced the entire exchange.
The ranking of each university depended on their capability.
Their strength was based on one’s achievements and talents.
Every university had its own specialization direction. If Huaxia University received all they had to offer, wouldn’t it become the very best in mathematics?
As the dean of Huazhong University, Li Fan was the first to disagree!
When Feng Xingshen heard this, he was furious. “Research has no boundaries, much less schools! Old Li, how can you say that about me?”
Li Fan sneered. “Then what do you want me to say? Old Feng, everyone knows that what you’re doing now is useless! In the end, we both know very well whether this project will succeed or not! Since that’s the case, why do you force me to divulge the latest results of my scientific research?”
Feng Xingshen: “…Old Li, if it was my research results that Sister Xi needed right now, I would definitely take it out without any hesitation. The problem now is that Sister Xi needs to use yours!”
Li Fan chuckled. “That’s what you say. Do you think we’ll believe you so easily?”
Feng Xingshen: “?”
Li Fan said, “Huaxia University is indeed the best in comprehensive capability, but don’t forget that Huazhong University is still the best in the mathematics field! As long as it has to do with research in mathematics, the decisions should be up to me! Right now, the president of the Mathematics Association is still me! Not you, Feng Xingshen!”
Feng Xingshen: “!!”
Feng Xingshen, who was very old and had white hair, trembled in anger. “Old Li! That’s enough!”
Li Fan, on the other hand, turned to look at everyone. “Of course, if you want me to give you this scientific research result, that’s fine. But you have to give us your research results too! We’ll exchange them equally! Otherwise, why should I give mine to you?”
When Feng Xingshen heard this, he felt even more helpless. “Old Li, I’ve been doing this project for five years and there are still no results. How can I take it out?”
Li Fan sneered. “Old Feng, you’ve been working on a project for five years and still haven’t finished it. How can you have the cheek to ask us for ours? We’ve been working on those for ten years and even longer.”
Feng Xingshen: “?”
Li Fan immediately turned on his mocking mode. “As for your university, you can’t even do a single project, so how can you convince the masses? What right do you have to make everyone support that Sister Xi of yours?”
Feng Xingshen was stunned by his words. He frowned. “Old Li, don’t go overboard with your words!”
Li Fan continued to mock him. “Am I wrong? Old Feng, if you could take out your research results, I would definitely not say a single word. However, you don’t want to give anything and just want to trick us. That’s not going to fly!”
Just as Feng Xingshen was about to say something, Li Fan said, “Also, I think it’s time for the position of vice president of the Mathematics Association to change hands. Old Feng, as the vice president, you haven’t produced any scientific research results in the past five years, right? I don’t think anyone has any objections!”
This was the second-highest position across China!
The rest of the universities naturally had no objections. If they could become the vice president, their school’s mathematics ranking would also be raised!
Feng Xingshen was furious. “Who said that I can’t produce any scientific research results?”
