After so many years of technological development in the country, everyone's work number was actually based on an evaluation from the beginning.
Some powerful researchers would especially try to get a better work number through connections when their apprentices were taking The Work Number exam.
For example, President Li's work number C0098, but in fact, a large number of work numbers in front of him were empty.
President li had no background and was not good at socializing. He devoted himself to scientific research. He was only 25 years old when he became a researcher.
But even so, his first evaluation was 098, which was one of the higher-ranked work numbers.
Later, he became the Dean of the Research Institute. His academic achievements and contributions were well recognized by the University of Zhou's laboratory. The higher-ups wanted to change his work number to C003, but he was rejected by Dean Li, so it had been C0098.
