Genius Girlfriend

As the teaching assistant of the course "Quantum Computing", Lin Zhixia has brought a total of four undergraduates this semester, and Wu Pinyan is one of them.

Wu Pinyan's goal is very clear, she wants to follow Lin Zhixia's mentor to study Ph.D.

Lin Zhixia's tutor enjoys a high reputation in academia, with high personal achievements and high demands on students. The doctoral students in his group are very powerful, such as Aishwarya, which is like a paper making machine. Every year, at least two papers are successfully published in world-class academic journals.

Aishwarya said to Wu Pinyan in the tone of a person who came by, the first step in publishing an excellent paper is to find innovations. In order to find innovations, Wu Pinyan needs a lot of literature.

Wu Pinyan nodded.

Lin Zhixia enthusiastically encouraged her: "In fact, you have already found a point of innovation. This is why I invited you to work in our group. Come with me, and I will take you to see the experimental equipment."

Wu Pinyan smiled: "Thank you."

Lin Zhixia walked forward and pushed open the door of the laboratory: "I sent your resume and thesis to the supervisor, and discussed with the supervisor. I will teach you how to operate the experiment. Once you are familiar with the process, you can Implement the model and collect the data yourself."

"Thank you, senior sister!" Wu Pinyan said with emotion.

In their small classroom, Wu Pinyan often referred to Lin Zhixia as "Teacher Lin", but now she changed her name to Lin Zhixia "Senior Sister", which reminded Lin Zhixia of Zhu Chan, Luo Ying, Wei Ruoxing... these gentle Kind school sister.

Lin Zhixia said sincerely: "If you encounter any problems in the laboratory, please contact me at any time and I will try my best to help you solve them."

In the spacious "quantum circuit" laboratory, various large machines are placed. Wu Pinyan looked around and asked in a low voice: "Are you still an assistant teacher next semester?"

Lin Zhixia heard what she meant. Lin Zhixia replied: "Whether I am a teaching assistant or not, I will help you. After you finish writing the paper, I can read it for you before sending it to your supervisor. Your research direction is very novel. You are very welcome."

Wu Pinyan and Lin Zhixia have almost no personal relationships.

Their communication is limited to once a week in class.

Wu Pinyan shook her hands, squeezed her finger bones, and thanked Lin Zhixia again: "Ok, thank you."

"Don't be so polite," Lin Zhixia said boldly, "You come on, you are excellent."

When Lin Zhixia and Wu Pinyan were chatting, Wen Qi happened to pass behind them. His footsteps were silent, like a ghost, Wu Pinyan called him: "Senior Wen Qi!"

That voice seemed to be a dark arrow, stabbing Wen Qi's forehead. He froze in place, and responded awkwardly: "Huh?"

Wen Qi had a hunch, Wu Pinyan's personality was very cheerful, more enthusiastic and outgoing than Lin Zhixia. The Miao Danyi he met last year is also this type of girl. Such a girl is almost his nemesis, making him unable to maintain even basic social etiquette.

Sure enough, Wu Pinyan took out her mobile phone: "Your phone number?"

Wen Qi even said: "I don't have a mobile phone."

Wu Pinyan's expression was slightly startled. She looked at Lin Zhixia.

Lin Zhixia can probably guess why Wen Qi lied. Even if she had a good impression of Wu Pinyan, she couldn't force Wen Qi to leave her phone number to others. While she was thinking and meditating, Wu Pinyan asked again: "Do you have a QQ account and WeChat account?"

Wen Qi shook his head.

Wu Pinyan asked: "Facebook and p?"

Both Facebook and p are social software commonly used by international students.

Wen Qi does not admit that he has a social account. He said indifferently: "I'm going to do the experiment." Then he walked into a small room not far away-it was not the place for the experiment.

Wu Pinyan approached Lin Zhixia and said cautiously: "Senior Wen Qi..."

"He is not good at socializing," Lin Zhixia quickly explained for Wen Qi, "He is not malicious, don't be nervous, he is like this to everyone. I have known him for more than seven months, and he talks to me at most ten words every day. This is his upper limit."

"Really?" Wu Pinyan was surprised, "What's going on like this? Didn't he contact a psychologist?"

Psychologist?

Lin Zhixia thoughtfully: "It seems not."

Wu Pinyan also thought of something. She no longer commented on Wen Qi. She followed Lin Zhixia around the entire laboratory. Lin Zhixia handed her a printed document and asked her to do some simple exercises according to the instructions on the document. She couldn't help asking: "Have you prepared these in advance?"

"Yes," Lin Zhixia said frankly, "When I revised the article for you, I designed some simple experiments according to the calculation model you proposed, and wrote an experiment guide by the way."

Lin Zhixia's kindness of not asking for anything in return exceeded Wu Pinyan's previous imagination.

Wu Pinyan held the pile of thick documents, and there was a burst of warmth flowing in her heart. She couldn't help thinking about Lin Zhixia in turn. She hesitated and asked, "Do you still have time to do research if you lead students like this?"

They stood at the side of a writing desk, Lin Zhixia opened the drawer, found two printed papers, and passed them to Wu Pinyan.

Hearing Wu Pinyan’s question, Lin Zhixia answered honestly: “Yes, I spend most of my time doing research. After I graduate, I want to return to China to be a university teacher. I prepare these materials not only for you, but also for me. Myself, I will take graduate students in the future and I want to be a good tutor."

Wu Pinyan grabbed the documents in her hand, feeling that those things were heavy.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, Wu Pinyan joked: "You didn't want to go to the research institute? You train students... The students may not be as strong as you."

Lin Zhixia stared at her: "No one is born to know everything. Many times, students are not unwise, but they don’t know. We give students a lamp. They carry the lamp and walk on their own path to illuminate the wider world. world."

Wu Pinyan said with feelings: "Is this a'universal interest'?"

Lin Zhixia's attitude became more serious: "Yes, it was written in "Meditation Records"-‘people have three kinds of relationships, namely, the connection between people and foreign objects, between people and others, and between people and belief or reason.”..."

Before Lin Zhixia finished speaking, Wu Pinyan answered, "I understand your faith."

Lin Zhixia smiled brightly.

At this time, Senior Sister Aishwarya walked into the laboratory with a cup of coffee.

Lin Zhixia lowered her voice and quietly told Wu Pinyan: "Senior Aishwarya is looking for a faculty position recently. She contacted the Indian Institute of Technology...I heard her say that when she becomes a professor, she wants to accept more female students."

"What about you?" Wu Pinyan paid more attention to Lin Zhixia, "Will you accept more female students in the future?"

Lin Zhixia admitted: "Of course."

She listed the data: "The number of male scholars in the fields of mathematics, physics, and computing is six times more than female scholars [1]. Machine learning is an important branch of artificial intelligence. In the field of machine learning, the world's top female scholars only account for the total number I think this ratio is a little bit less..."

Aishwarya-senpai was approaching them, seemingly about to introduce Wu Pinyan to the experimental equipment.

Lin Zhixia suddenly remembered that on the first day she and Wen Qi joined the group, it was also the Aishwarya sister who explained the laboratory's regulations and various operating procedures for them.

Lin Zhixia extended a hand to Wu Pinyan: "Come on, we will all grow up."

Wu Pinyan and her high-five.

Lin Zhixia suddenly remembered that in teacher Shen Zhaohua's laboratory, she and Shen Zhaohua had a hook-that was nine years ago. So far, she has kept her promise.

Wu Pinyan is a very hardworking person.

Since that day, she has often come to the laboratory to report.

Gradually, she was able to chat with Wen Qi.

Wen Qi is collaborating with Lin Zhixia on a new paper.

In the month without mentor guidance, they still maintained a steady progress. On the first day the tutor came back from vacation, Lin Zhixia went to the tutor's office to find him with a stack of files.

The instructor had just made a cup of black tea and was enjoying it leisurely. Seeing Lin Zhixia suddenly appeared, his face showed a hint of surprise.

"Good morning, today is the office opening time." Lin Zhixia pointed to the time schedule on the door frame.

In their schools, university professors generally have an "office opening time." During this period, any student can come directly to the office to find him. Of course he knows this. He exchanged a few words with Lin Zhixia, and then began to read Lin Zhixia's new paper.

The progress of this paper is obvious, and it can almost be directly submitted to the journal.

Therefore, at the end of this month, Lin Zhixia contributed this article. She waited for more than two months, and then received the news of the paper submission.

At the same time, Lin Zhixia also passed the first stage of the doctoral defense. The life of the first year of PhD is about to come to an end. She bid farewell to her four students in the last teaching assistant class for undergraduates. The students seemed very moved, and Han Guang shook hands with her.

All this is going well.

The only problem is that Lin Zhixia is not assigned to the second-year doctoral dormitory. The dormitory was randomly assigned, and she had a bye.

Lin Zhixia checked the email and repeatedly confirmed...

Her fate with the student dormitory has unfortunately come to an end.

Lin Zhixia thought a little, picked up the phone, and sent a message to Jiang Yubai: "I will have no dormitory next semester. I work as a teaching assistant at school and I have the money to pay the rent."

Jiang Yubai called her. The first sentence of his opening was: "We have signed a rental contract. Let's implement it according to the terms of the contract. When will you move? I'll pick you up."

Lin Zhixia did not decline. She said: "I will move at the end of the month."

"Okay," Jiang Yubai was exceptionally calm, "I will clean up your room."

Lin Zhixia was polite with him: "Well, thank you."

Jiang Yubai felt that Lin Zhixia was playing the role of "landlord and tenant" with him.

After the conversation, Jiang Yubai immediately left the study and walked to the room he prepared for Lin Zhixia. He checked the wardrobe, desk, dressing table and toilet again, and confirmed that all the facilities were clean, tidy and intact. He thought to himself that if Lin Zhixia lives with him, she doesn't need to cook by herself anymore. She has enough guarantee for her breakfast, lunch and dinner.
