I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 648 Anti-PUA Expert

Inside the office.

“That’s right. Our institute’s management model is quite unique in the scientific community of Xia. I believe that many academicians and professors would be interested in inviting a promising scientist like you.”

Ji Yunshi nodded with a smile, agreeing with Xu Qingzhou's statement.

Xu Qingzhou: "Do you have any recommendations?"

Ji Yunshi shook his head helplessly: "In the field of controlled nuclear fusion, although I know a few people, they are mostly located in the Southwest Institute of Physics and the Institute of Plasma Physics, holding important positions. I can't poach them."

The conditions they are offering now, such as salary, working environment, and settlement policies, are already quite good, but high-end talents are not very willing to change their research environment.

Especially in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, a stable research environment has been established in China, and top leaders have been promoted to project leaders, becoming mid-level managers.

The two went through all the possible candidates again, but unfortunately, they couldn't find a suitable one.

Scientific research results can be achieved through a large number of experiments. In other words, by using a large amount of scientific research labor to repeat experiments, some clues can always be found in a large amount of data.

The foundation of a research institute involves both soft power and hard power.

Hard power enables the rapid formation of a material foundation based on "large-scale scientific facilities support + the gathering of top teams".

Soft power, cultural genes, and innovation ecosystem.

The latter is the most difficult part, as it requires time to accumulate, and the gathering of top scholars can accelerate the establishment of soft power.

Although their institute has made many significant moves recently, its foundation still lags behind those of top research institutes.

Xu Qingzhou said, "We will proceed with the recruitment of general researchers simultaneously. As for the person in charge, I will consider it further."

"Okay, I'll go get busy now."

Xu Qingzhou leaned back in his chair, squinted, and pondered the nuclear fusion experts he knew.

Last December, I attended a frontier physics conference at Oxford University and got to know quite a few scholars who are engaged in this research.

Academician Liu Fanyang, head of the stellarator at Southwest Jiaotong University, and Professor Luo Xiaqing of the Institute of Plasma Physics
But we can't dig it up.

They all have their own research projects.

Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. Since there weren't any suitable options, he thought, "Perhaps, I could ask Professor Xiao and the others for recommendations?"

Professor Xiao Chenghan from the Institute of Plasma Physics is a frequent visitor to their facility because of superconducting thin films.

Other domestic institutions working on controlled nuclear fusion will also send representatives to discuss the construction of superconducting magnets.

Regarding stellarators, Academician Liu Fanyang from Southwest Jiaotong University will lead a team over on the 16th of this month.

It's important to know that Xu Qingzhou's collaboration with the Max Planck Institute includes two crucial technologies for stellarators. As the most cutting-edge stellarator research institution in China, Liu Fanyang naturally had to come and take a look.

Xu Qingzhou shook his head. There was no rush to poach people; anyway, it would be at least May by the time the equipment was deployed.

It's already mid-February.

On Sunday, Xu Qingzhou returned from the research institute, carrying two bags of fruit into the house.

He doesn't actually have a habit of buying fruit. He used to only buy some occasionally when he felt like it, but now it's different. There's always fruit at home.

There was no one in the living room, so he guessed that Song Yao was probably writing her thesis in the study. He took the fruit to the kitchen, washed it, and brought it up.

In the study, the girl was writing calculations with her head down.

"Come back so soon?"

"I didn't go to the fruit shop. I bought it from an old lady's basket at the intersection. It looked pretty good."

Xu Qingzhou picked up a piece and fed it to Song Yao's mouth.

“So sour~”

Song Yao's face scrunched up.

"Is it sour? Your sense of taste must be off. Try this one."

As Xu Qingzhou spoke, he enthusiastically fed her another one.

This time, Song Yao was more shrewd. She stared intently at Xu Qingzhou; his strange expression clearly indicated something was amiss. She gritted her teeth and said, "You did this on purpose!"

"I tasted two of them while I was washing them, so I can't be the only one who's sour."

Xu Qingzhou put the grapes back on the plate.

The old lady was unethical and cheated a 23-year-old man. At the time, the car was parked on the side of the road and traffic police were watching closely. He bought it without even tasting it after the old lady said it was sweet.

Song Yao was so angry she wanted to hit someone. "Xu Qingzhou, I really want to punch you."

"I would be very happy if my wife stopped threatening to beat someone up all the time."

"Heh, I'd be happy if my husband didn't always be so rude." Song Yao wasn't going to be manipulated by this guy, so she went next door to take a shower and came in.

"Here, have a taste of the apple."

"Get out of the way, I can do it myself."

Song Yao shoved Xu Qingzhou aside, sat down on the side of the sofa, and picked up a piece of apple with her fork.

Xu Qingzhou shrugged, sat down in front of Song Yao's computer, and read what she had written.

"Econometric model validation, difference-in-differences (DID) model: Y_{it}=α+β Digital_{it}+γ X_{it}+ε_{it} is very fast, it has reached the last step of designing the cognitive bias correction mechanism."

"The paper needs to be submitted in May."

"Time is running out. Is there anything I can do to help out?"

Xu Qingzhou felt a little nostalgic for the days when Song Yao, Teacher Song, explained the model to him.

The difference-in-differences model and structural equation model (SEM) are quite complex, but to be fair, the calculation process and formula algorithms are still as concise and perfect as Song Xiaohua's style.

If Song Xiaohua had chosen mathematics as her major, the mathematics field might have produced another giant.

"No."

Song Yao pouted. She still preferred to do things herself, lest she become a whiny little woman. "It's just a doctoral dissertation. I can write it myself, Professor Xu, ah~"

Song, the school beauty, handed over a piece of apple.

Xu Qingzhou was focused on Song Yao's thesis when she unconsciously opened her mouth, and a grape slipped into it. Turning her head, she saw that Song Yao had already fed herself the apple she was supposed to feed her.

Before he could make a move, Song Yao had already moved closer.

"Don't spit it out!" Song Yao threatened, covering Xu Qingzhou's mouth with one hand.

"childish."

Xu Qingzhou ate grapes, expressing his disdain for Song Yao's behavior.

"Tch, you're not naive, yet you lied to me."

Seeing Xu Qingzhou's grinning face, Song Yao was happy.

The tingling sensation had subsided, and Xu Qingzhou turned his attention back to Song Yao's thesis, which, according to its original framework, was divided into six stages.

We are about to move on to the empirical testing and case verification stage.

Xu Qingzhou was reading a paper, while Song Yao was resting on the sofa, tucking her feet into Xu Qingzhou's lap. "How's the recruitment going?"

"As expected, as of today, we have received thousands of high-quality resumes from both domestic and international applicants. However, the applicants are generally young, and their work experience is mostly less than 10 years."

"What do you plan to do?" Song Yao asked, mimicking Xu Qingzhou's gesture, putting her hands behind her head and relaxing completely.

"Wait a minute."

Xu Qingzhou was also rather helpless about this, "People from Southwest Jiaotong University and the Southwest Institute of Physics will be here in a few days, let's see if they have any recommendations. Can you please stop moving your feet around?"

"I didn't."

"Ha~"
