Yang Ping sat back in his office chair and picked up the internal phone: "Tang Shun, co to my office for a mont, there’s sothing to discuss."
A few minutes later, Tang Shun knocked on the door and ca in.
"Professor, you wanted to see ?"
"Sit down." Yang Ping gestured, "There are two things. Firstly, regarding the preliminary intention of the leadership transition for the X-2 project, Jiang Jitong recomnded Chen Xiao, and I agree with his recomndation, but we need to talk to Chen Xiao himself first, and also consider the team’s reaction. The project eting originally scheduled for next week will be postponed; for now, prepare a contingency plan to ensure that regardless of the final decision, the project work remains continuous and morale stable."
Tang Shun was slightly surprised, nodded and said: "Understood, Dr. Jiang’s recomndation shows great foresight. Chen Xiao’s ability is indeed outstanding. I will prepare the communication and transition plan, but I believe Chen Xiao’s capabilities are also excellent, especially after being tempered by the new challenges, sothing he might not even realize himself."
"Hmm, I think so too. The second thing," Yang Ping thought for a mont and said, "I want to organize a small-scale, high-level academic exchange eting soon. It doesn’t have to be limited to our current collaboration units; we can invite so biodical experts from the younger generation who have returned from overseas and are currently working in top institutions dostically and abroad, especially those involved in cutting-edge fields such as gene technology and cell therapy. The format can be flexible, primarily focusing on in-depth discussions, with a size controlled within ten people. You can send invitations in the na of the Institute or myself, and see if there are suitable candidates available dostically or convenient for online deep discussions. Focus on identifying those with genuine talent, lively thinking, who can spark intellectual collisions."
Tang Shun paused to think and said, "I’ll arrange it."
Yang Ping imdiately added: "Oh, rember to include Jiang Jitong and Chen Xiao in the participant list, let them listen more and speak more."
Tang Shun quickly understood Yang Ping’s deeper intention, nodded: "Okay, Professor. I’ll get started on contacting and arranging imdiately. I’ll try to organize it within two weeks."
"Thank you."
After Tang Shun left, Yang Ping contemplated alone for a while, then picked up the phone, found Chen Xiao’s number, and sent a brief ssage: "Chen Xiao, are you available to co to my office tomorrow morning at nine? I’d like to hear your thoughts on so questions about frontier research."
Soon, Chen Xiao replied: "Okay, Professor Yang, I’ll be there at nine tomorrow morning."
After handling these matters, Yang Ping then returned his attention to the unfinished clinical surgery plan.
Next morning at nine o’clock sharp.
Chen Xiao knocked on Yang Ping’s office door on ti, "Professor Yang, you wanted to see ."
"Sit down, Chen Xiao." Yang Ping looked up from his docunts, a gentle smile on his face, "Are you adjusting well to your recent work? Elder Xiang specifically asked about you when he ca last ti."
"Thank you for your and Elder Xiang’s concern. I’ve adapted well to the work environnt and pace here, the team atmosphere is excellent, and I’m learning a lot." Chen Xiao’s response was both appropriate and sincere.
"Good to hear you’re adapting. I asked you here today to talk about so planning for the X-2 project’s follow-up." Yang Ping cut to the chase, "The project has achieved groundbreaking progress, but the road ahead is equally critical and even more complex. It involves matching X-2 and vaccines, deep optimization, clinical translation, and even potential future industrialization and engagent with a broader international stage."
Chen Xiao straightened up and listened carefully.
"We need to find a suitable leader for the project, responsible for the subsequent concrete advancent and daily decision-making." Yang Ping observed Chen Xiao’s expression, "Dr. Jiang Jitong has recomnded you to ."
Chen Xiao’s eyes clearly showed a trace of surprise; evidently, this suggestion was entirely unexpected for him. He quickly steadied his mind, not imdiately expressing a stance, but cautiously asked: "Dr. Jiang is very excellent and most familiar with the project, it’s only natural for him to be in charge, I don’t quite understand..."
Yang Ping concisely relayed Jiang Jitong’s main considerations to Chen Xiao, particularly regarding the challenges the project would face and the thought process about the leader’s capabilities, of course, omitting the specific details of Jiang Jitong’s self-analysis.
"Dr. Jiang believes that you possess unique advantages in grasping the essence of scientific frontiers, cross-field thinking, handling complex situations, and having an international perspective, and he is willing to fully support you." Yang Ping finished, quietly watching Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao was silent for a mont, not showing any joy in being promoted, but rather slightly furrowed his brows, engaging in rapid thinking. A few minutes later, he looked up, honestly gazing at Yang Ping.
"Professor Yang, first of all, I’m very thankful for Dr. Jiang’s recognition and recomndation. This surprises a lot and makes feel a lot of pressure." Chen Xiao, speaking slowly and carefully choosing his words, "Dr. Jiang’s analysis of the project’s future challenges is very profound, and I largely agree. My experiences abroad might indeed provide different perspectives in so ways, but..."
He shifted his tone, speaking more earnestly: "I think Dr. Jiang might underestimate his own capabilities and irreplaceability. I am a newcor, and my familiarity with many project details, the strengths and integration process of each team mber, and the internal collaborations within the laboratory and relevant dostic fields, is far less than his. The smooth transition and efficient operation of the project cannot do without this deep familiarity. Also, Dr. Jiang’s coordination ability, determination, and understanding and execution of your overall ideas during the most difficult periods of the project are sothing I deeply admire. In fact, the most important point is that I feel he already surpasses in many areas of ability, such as mastering certain scientific thods more advanced than I have. I believe he is fully capable of leading this project; what he lacks may only be so trials in facing more complex situations and broader visual references, rather than the ability itself."
