Chapter 195 New Identity
Hearing that Ning Chen hoped to stay in college to do research, Liu Xu felt a little more relaxed.
"Yes, Ning Chen, you are born to do scientific research, and it is very suitable to continue to stay in the university. You spent your undergraduate and graduate stages at Shengzhou University. This school is Bian Ye sincerely invites you to stay at the school. What do you think?”
“Shengzhou University is my alma mater, and of course I hope to stay here, Dean Liu. Let me find out, what are the school’s requirements for me to stay in school?”
Ning Chen did not directly ask about the salary. Of course, Liu Xu also understood what Ning Chen meant and said with a smile:
"Ning Chen, the school will not have any requirements for you. In the past few years, you have proven your scientific research capabilities. You only need to continue to carry out any scientific research work you want to do. The conditions that the school can provide now are A basic annual salary of one million, plus a property in the school district. This annual salary does not include various scientific research awards, so in theory there is no upper limit to your income.”
Hearing this salary package, Ning Chen couldn't help but feel excited.
Ning Chen knows what the basic annual salary of one million is.
In fact, the basic salary of university teachers is not high. The monthly basic salary of lecturers who have just stayed in school may only be a few thousand yuan.
Of course, in addition to the basic salary, university teachers also have various other benefits, as well as high housing provident funds and year-end bonuses.
However, even a university professor may not be able to have a basic salary as high as Ning Chen.
It can be said that the conditions provided by Shengzhou University are very sincere.
In addition, prices in this era are not high, and the purchasing power of the same amount is almost twice what it would be ten years later.
As for real estate, Ning Chen does not have such urgent needs now, because Ning Chen already has a house near the school. Regardless of the size of the house, the environment of the community, or the location of the house, Ning Chen I am quite satisfied in the morning.
However, Ning Chen doesn’t mind having too many houses. Even if he can’t live in them, having one more house is equivalent to increasing his total assets.
Seeing that Ning Chen did not answer immediately, Liu Xu thought that Ning Chen was still not satisfied with these conditions, and continued to add:
"Of course, this basic annual salary is not fixed. It will be adjusted to a certain extent every year according to the situation. Improvement. In addition, the school will also help you apply for a scientific research start-up fund, which is tentatively 2 million. If it is not enough, you can continue to apply. In addition, the school will also arrange an independent laboratory for you, but this is still limited. We have to wait a little longer, because we need to renovate the vacated laboratory..."
After listening to some of the conditions introduced by Liu Xu, Ning Chen was completely impressed by these conditions.
Although there is still a gap between Shengzhou University and several top universities in China in terms of comprehensive strength of the school, if we only compare materials majors, Shengzhou University can still be among the top in the country.
What's more, the various conditions Shengzhou University gave Ning Chen are difficult for other universities to provide, and Shengzhou University gave Ning Chen a very large free space, allowing Ning Chen to carry out whatever he wanted. Your favorite research direction.
At this time, Ning Chen no longer had any reason to refuse.
"Dean Liu, in fact, I have always wanted to stay at Shengzhou University, and I am very honored that the school can give me such an opportunity. If I can successfully graduate with a Ph.D., I am willing to stay at Shengzhou University Take office!"
Seeing that Ning Chen finally expressed his thoughts clearly, Liu Xu nodded vigorously and said with a smile:
"Well, that's great, that's it. It can be regarded as a two-way trip between Ning Chen and the school. If there is no problem, let’s sign the contract first.”
It can be seen that Liu Xu was also prepared and contacted the school soon. The relevant staff sent the printed contract over.
The two looked at the contract and discussed various details in the contract.
"Ning Chen, the school hopes that you will focus on scientific research in the early stage, and you can start preparing for teaching tasks in two years. Because you are still relatively young, you may not have much teaching experience. You can learn from other teachers first.”
Ning Chen noticed that the professional title given to him by the school was not a lecturer, but a researcher.
The professional title of researcher may not look impressive, but it is actually at the same level as professor, and the researcher is not preceded by an associate, but a real researcher.
To be able to assign such a senior professional title to a doctoral student who has not yet graduated is enough to show how much Shengzhou University attaches great importance to Ning Chen.
As for teaching, Ning Chen's teaching experience is not as little as Liu Xu said. Even if a comparison is made, Ning Chen feels that his teaching level may not be worse than other university teachers.
However, Ning Chen is also happy with the school's arrangement. It is true that he is not ready for teaching yet, so it is good to focus on scientific research first. After confirming every detail in the contract, Ning Chen signed his name at the end of the contract.
Seeing that the signing of the contract was successfully completed, Liu Xu was also very happy.
"Ning Chen, from now on we will be colleagues from the School of Materials Science and Technology of Shengzhou University. Let me call you in advance, Teacher Ning!"
"Thank you, Dean Liu. I'm still not used to being called such a name."
"It doesn't matter. It will take a while to get used to it at first, but you will get used to it gradually. Ning Chen, besides Apart from being younger, he is very mature in other aspects and is capable of completing various tasks for this position. Okay, I won’t bother you anymore, you should still have a lot of scientific research to do.”
"Okay, Dean Liu, I'll go back first."
Walking on the campus of Shengzhou University, Ning Chen had a completely different feeling at this time.
When Ning Chen was a student, although Ning Chen had deep feelings for the school, he also understood that college is just a stage in life, and one day his student career will eventually end. .
But after staying in school, Ning Chen can continue to stay in the university in another way, and even spend most of the rest of his life here.
This feeling of eternity made Ning Chen feel very at ease.
Early the next morning, Ning Chen came to the laboratory, preparing to study the next experimental topic.
Perhaps because he just signed an employment contract with the school yesterday, Ning Chen's mental state is somewhat different from before, and his whole person exudes full energy from top to bottom.
After a while, Xu Zhou also came to the laboratory.
Seeing Xu Zhou coming over, Ning Chen was a little surprised and said:
"Teacher Xu, aren't you still on vacation? Why did you come to work so early?"
It's still winter vacation. During the period, there is no need for university teachers to work. Of course, some university teachers will also work overtime voluntarily due to experiments and other reasons.
"Why, you come to the laboratory, why can't I come? We will be on the same level soon. If I don't work hard, I might become your subordinate in a short time." ”
Hearing Xu Zhou’s words, Ning Chen knew that Xu Zhou must have learned about what happened yesterday.
Although the contract he signed with the school should be a secret, it certainly couldn't be hidden from Xu Zhou.
"Teacher Xu, do you know everything?"
"Of course, before the school signs a contract with you, you have to ask me for my opinion. Don't worry, I have nothing to do with the relationship between the two of us. All my answers are very objective.”
Xu Zhou is indeed a relatively upright person, but even if he lists Ning Chen’s achievements objectively. It far exceeds the school's normal standards for recruiting university teachers.
“Thank you, Teacher Xu, then we will be colleagues in the future.”
"Hey, actually, I have always treated you as a colleague, but this time you are really a legitimate colleague. In the future, when the school moves to the district, we can be neighbors again."
The housing arranged by Shengzhou University for the new batch of teachers is still under construction, and it is expected that the housing will be available for another two years.
Ning Chen is not in a hurry about this. Anyway, he has a house to live in now. When the new house comes down, he will consider whether to move to a new home.
At this time, Xu Zhou continued:
“Hey, I really envy you, the school directly gave you a house. When I stayed in school, there was no real estate, just The settlement fee given can only be used on this house, which is equivalent to giving a discount on buying a house.”
