I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"Shi Yuankai, let me confirm with you one last time, are you really not planning to pursue a doctorate?"

This year, the two masters who are preparing to graduate under Professor Huang are Shi Yuankai and Li Miaomiao.

They are all my students, and it seems that I have only mentioned them briefly before.

Today, while Jiang Hao is here, Professor Huang also wants to determine the final path that the two of them want to take.

After all, there is only one spot. Li Miaomiao swallowed her saliva and looked at Shi Yuankai nervously.

"Teacher, I'll let it go."

"You know my family situation. I would feel bad if I had to support me for another five or six years."

"Li Miaomiao is more suitable and can concentrate on scientific research."

"Now that Senior Brother's Sea Whale Technology has such a good opportunity, I still want to make some money with Senior Brother Jiang."

Shi Yuankai quickly refused again, and it was obvious that he had already decided on his own path.

He spoke very directly and didn't try to evade the question in a roundabout way.

His family is an ordinary family, and it's not that they can't afford to let him study for a PhD, but with his level, he would be 30 years old when he graduates.

In addition, as he is a boy, marriage and career will put pressure on him during his doctoral studies.

Unlike Li Miaomiao, her family is well off, so she can study peacefully without worrying about anything.

If there had not been any particularly good opportunity, Shi Yuankai would naturally have continued his doctoral studies.

If the tutor does not have any vacancies, he will beg the tutor to recommend him.

Nowadays, even a fool can see the development of Jiang Haohaijing Technology.

Not to mention Gao Wei, who made a big bet and followed Jiang Hao, and was the envy of everyone in the laboratory.

I achieved financial freedom in just two years, and now I spend all day researching my favorite field and making money.

The temptation to Shi Yuankai was huge. The reason why the master's students from other laboratories were so looking forward to Jiang Hao was actually because they had heard about Gao Wei's deeds.

I wanted to get to know Jiang Hao a little better in advance so that I could follow him after graduation.

"Okay! I'll just confirm with you one last time today."

“Anyway, after today, if you suddenly come back to me and ask me to study for a doctorate, I won’t recognize you!”

In fact, Professor Huang likes both of his students very much, especially in terms of scientific research ability, which is much better than the students he accepted in previous years.

But in the end, there are practical reasons, including his own quota reasons.

It was finally decided to accept Li Miaomiao as a doctoral student. As for Shi Yuankai, he could go to Haijing for internship as soon as he finished his thesis defense.

Once the matter was finalized, the two were persuaded by Professor Huang to leave.

There are only three people left in the office: Jiang Hao, Professor Huang, and Professor Zou.

The content mentioned was also more direct than before.

"Brother Zou, I heard that our Dean Yao is planning to retire this year?"

Hearing this, Professor Zou just nodded silently, and calmly picked up a piece of Hami melon with a fork and put it into his mouth.

After savoring it and swallowing it, he spoke.

"Well, it's confirmed. I'll retire in September this year."

"then you?"

"Principal Wang has communicated with me. If there is no problem with the award results in June, I will take over."

While Jiang Hao's career was developing, Professor Zou's scientific research and development within the school never stopped.

He has really witnessed the progress of the professor, to the vice-dean, and now he is about to be promoted to dean. It has been a very smooth journey.

You have to know that Professor Zou is only 43 years old this year, and his progress can be said to be both fast and steady.

"Professor Zou, what award are you planning to give out in June?"

“National Science and Technology Progress Award.”

There was no suspense and the award names were announced in a casual manner.

Although it was said lightly, Jiang Hao was fully aware of the value of this award!

These are the three major national awards!

The National Natural Science Award, the National Technological Invention Award, and the National Science and Technology Progress Award are not ordinary awards.

It is not only the most authoritative recognition of the scientific research level and achievements of scientific and technological workers, but also an important indicator to measure the scientific research level, innovation ability of universities and their contribution to the country and society.

To put it more directly, it is the most important stepping stone to becoming an academician.

"Congratulations!"

"Wow! Professor Zou, you are amazing!"

At the moment, Jiang Hao couldn't think of any other words of praise.

He just kept clapping and looked straight at Professor Zou.

"It's nothing special. It's just that I took you to attend an academic conference two years ago and took on the '863' project."

"After working so hard until this year, we finally achieved results, and the results are pretty good!"

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you, Wentao, and Lao Duan's help!"

"Otherwise, I think it will take until the end of this year to be completely finished."

As the main professor of a large research group, Professor Zou is busy with work that actually represents the work direction of the entire research group.

The main work of Professor Huang and Professor Duan is actually to assist Professor Zou in completing the project.

National-level projects like the '863' program are necessarily the result of a team's hard work; the scientific research capabilities of one individual are ultimately limited.

No wonder when I came to the laboratory today, Fu Ying and Junior Brother Chu were not there.

I guess they all went to help Professor Zou with this project.

"I'm just doing my job, this is nothing."

"If it weren't for you, Brother Zou, it would be difficult for me to find a way to participate in a project like this!"

"Now it all depends on whether you can win the award, Brother Zou, and whether you have the chance to become the dean!"

Jiang Hao was sitting next to the two of them and could clearly feel it.

His mentor, Professor Huang, was more excited about the position of Dean of the College than Professor Zou himself.

Of course, Jiang Hao could understand this.

In many cases, running a scientific research project is similar to running a company.

Only if Professor Zou is promoted first can he pave the way for his supervisor Professor Huang.

They are a community of interests, and Professor Zou himself also follows Academician Zhang of Jiangnan University in the academic world.

It can be said that the factions are also very clear!

"I think it will be no problem for us to win the award. Even if our results don't win the first prize, we will definitely win the second prize."

"That's the dean! If you can get the position, then get it. If you can't, that's fine too. Wentao, don't keep your eyes on this position."

Compared with Professor Huang's attitude, Professor Zou really doesn't seem to be very excited about becoming the dean of the college.

Having said this, Professor Zou slowly put down the fork he was using to eat the fruit.

While he looked serious, there was a hint of anticipation and nervousness in his eyes.

"Actually, there is one more piece of news I haven't had time to tell you."

"Next year, Academician Zhang will work with Academician Yang to nominate me for academician nomination."

These words were like a bomb, exploding in Jiang Hao and Professor Huang's minds.

Unprepared!

"Professor Zou, you will be an academician next year!?"

Jiang Hao was already surprised just to win one of these three major awards!

It is clear that this is a key step for Professor Zou on his way to becoming an academician, but I didn’t expect that while we were talking, Professor Zou is already about to be nominated!
