Chapter 7 — After I Resigned, the Whole Academic World Upraised

“I won't go alone.”

The entire laboratory raised their heads simultaneously. I keep saying:

“I have discussed with Tsinghua University.”

“They gave me a special privilege.”

“My core team.”

“We can move the whole group there.”

“All doctoral and master's students are studying.”

“If you agree.”

“You can all go through the transfer procedures with me to the capital.”

“And your future diploma.”

“It will carry four words…”

“Tsinghua University.”

The whole laboratory fell silent. An absolute silence. It was as if everyone had stopped breathing. Then the very next moment. Cheers exploded like a tsunami. Some people hugged each other. Some people jumped up. Some people laugh and cry at the same time. Some people were even so moved that they burst into tears on the spot. I can also be honest with the children I love. Go somewhere more worthy of their talents and efforts. Children's lives. Right at this moment. I forcefully steered it into a completely different direction. A wider and brighter road. I looked at Deputy Researcher Truong who was still standing quietly next to me.

“Mr. Truong.”

“What about you?”

He looked at me. His eyes were full of complexity. He has a family. Have a career. Have your roots in this city. For him. Leaving here to go to the capital was an extremely difficult decision. He was silent for a long time. Full one minute. He raised his head. Only steadfastness remained in his eyes.

“A wise bird chooses a branch to perch on.”

“The past ten years have followed you.”

“I now understand what true academic work is.”

“Where are you going?”

“I'll go there.”

“I have to say it's the remaining half of my research life.”

“I leave it to you.”

I laughed. A sincere smile from the bottom of the heart. I took out my phone. Call Professor Qian of Tsinghua University.

“Professor Tien.”

“It's me, Hua Tinh.”

“I have decided.”

“I accept your invitation.”

The other end of the line immediately rang out with cheerful laughter.

“Professor Hua!”

“This is truly the happiest news today!”

"However."

“I have one condition.”

I said calmly.

“You just say it.”

“Don't say a condition.”

“We also agree to one hundred conditions.”

“I have a research team.”

“From associate researchers, postdoctoral researchers to doctoral and master's students.”

“Twenty-six people in total.”

“I want to take them all with me.”

“Leave no one behind.”

The other end of the line suddenly went silent. I heard Professor Tien's breathing become more rapid. He is considering my conditions. Twenty-six people. That's not a small number. It was almost a small-scale academic migration. From human resources. Transfer school. Arrange accommodation. To countless other logistical procedures. It only takes one link to go wrong. It will lead to a whole chain of reactions. I don't push. Didn't speak up either. I gave him enough time to think. Because this is my final limit. This team. It is the most valuable possession I have acquired in the past ten years. They are not my subordinates. It's teammates. They are the people who have stayed up with me countless nights in the laboratory. I absolutely cannot leave them behind. Going alone to enjoy glory. If even that courage Thanh Hoa also Not available. So it's not worth me trusting my future.

“Professor Hua.”

A while later. Professor Tien's voice rang out again. More serious. More fierce than ever.

“I apologize for my hesitation just now.”

“I don't think about whether this can be done or not.”

“But I was thinking…”

“Thanh Hoa should use the highest standards to welcome her and her team.”

I was a bit stunned. Professor Tien continued:

“Twenty-six people.”

“We take it all.”

“No one is left behind.”

“From payroll to compensation.”

“All are applied according to Thanh Hoa's highest standards.”

“About transferring schools for doctoral and master's students.”

“This afternoon we will set up a special working group.”

“Directly coordinate with the Ministry of Education.”

“Commit to completing the entire procedure within one week.”

“We don't just want to welcome people here.”

“But I also want everyone to feel…”

“What is true respect for talent?”

His every word. Strong as the sound of a bronze bell. Exploded in my heart. Also exploded in the whole laboratory. The students were completely unable to control their emotions. Cheers echoed everywhere. Someone shouted. Some people hugged each other and jumped up and down. Some people were so emotional that they threw the experiment report into the air. Ly Triet hugged Truong. Crying until tears and runny nose flowed. Just like a child. My eyes are also a little stingy. I hold the phone. Trinh Trong said:

“Thank you, Professor Tien.”

“See you in the capital.”

After hanging up. I looked at the hopeful young faces in front of me.
