Teacher Yu said again: "Zhong Li came back from the United States, and now he is in the college, mainly working on mycobacterium tuberculosis. Do you know about this?"

Zhong Li is Zhou Xun's senior brother, who is two years older than him. When Zhou Xun first entered the laboratory, Senior Zhong happened to be in the third year of research. Zhou Xun followed him to do experiments for a while, but then Senior Brother Zhong went to the United States to do a doctorate. After doing a Ph.D., think about it, he did not leave the station until about two years ago.

Zhou Xun said: "Everyone is busy, I haven't had any contact with him in the past two years, and I don't know about it yet."

Teacher Yu said: "If you have tuberculosis, you can go and talk to him, and you should be able to talk."

Zhou Xun nodded in agreement, and then went to find Zhong Li.

As Qingqian, Zhong Li had just returned to China not long ago, and the state gave him a lot of money, but there were too many results to be produced, and he was under a lot of pressure. In addition, he had just returned to China and had just built a laboratory, so he was really busy.

Even though it was during the summer vacation, he was still in the office, and the students he had just recruited were supposed to start school in September, but now they were all called to the school by him to work.

Zhou Xun went to find him, and only after asking did he know his office. The person being asked was his young graduate student. The other party looked at Zhou Xun and asked, "What do you want to do with Mr. Zhong? Are you here to ask about admissions? Are you going to report to our Teacher Zhong?"

Zhou Xun was a little amused, and said, "Are you his student?"

The other party nodded: "Yes, I am his graduate student, and I was transferred here. But it seems to be quite good, but he is recruiting students for the first time, and I don't know how he treats students."

Zhou Xun asked: "How many students did he recruit?"

The other party said: "One Ph.D., two Masters. This is the case now. Do you want to apply too?"

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "I'm his younger brother, come and talk to him."

The other party immediately blushed, embarrassed that he had said so many suspected bad things to him just now that doubted the mentor's character.

Zhou Xun said: "I did an experiment with Brother Zhong before. He is a very good person with a good personality and is very considerate of others. It is good that you chose him as your mentor."

The other party saw that Zhou Xun was so kind, and he didn't seem like someone who would speak ill of himself in front of his mentor, so he immediately felt relieved and said to him, "Are you Mr. Zhong's junior? Did you come back from the United States?"

Zhou Xun smiled: "No, he was his junior when he was a master."

The other party was surprised: "Ah, are you so old?"

As the two talked, they had already arrived outside Zhong Li's office. The other party knocked on the door for Zhou Xun, and there was a voice asking to come in. He opened the door and said to the inside, "Mr. Zhong, someone is looking for you."

Zhou Xun entered the door, and Zhong Li was sitting behind the desk looking at the computer. There was a tall boy standing next to him, pointing at the computer screen while propping up his chair. Obviously, the two were talking about something.

Zhong Li raised his head and almost bumped into the bent boy, but the boy stepped aside quickly.

Zhou Xun couldn't help but took another look at the boy. He was a young man who was probably taller than him. He had excellent facial features, but his eyes were slightly calm, looking a little fierce, and his face was always expressionless. After looking at Zhou Xun, his eyes were also Not the slightest emotion.

What a strange person, Zhou Xun thought.

"Brother, long time no see." Zhou Xun greeted Zhong Li with a smile.

When Zhong Li saw him, after a moment of astonishment, he immediately stood up in surprise. After standing like this, he almost bumped into the boy behind him again, but luckily the other party dodged quickly.

Zhou Xun: "..."

"Zhou Xun, long time no see, why are you here? Didn't Teacher Yu say that you went down to take a second job?" Zhong Li went around the desk and warmly hugged Zhou Xun. Zhou Xun was really not used to him. Enthusiastically, he answered him: "I am indeed temporarily employed below. This time I am back from vacation. I heard from Teacher Yu that you are back, so I came to see you."

Zhong Li said enthusiastically: "I came back last year when I started to go through the formalities. You see, things are very messy here. Please sit down for a while, and my students and I will finish talking."

Zhou Xun smiled and nodded, "No hurry, take your time. Otherwise, I'll wait for you outside."

"No, you just sit here and wait for me." Zhong Li told him to sit down on the sofa in the office.

Zhou Xun had no choice but to sit over and saw Zhong Li and his student continue to discuss things. It should be the literature that the student was reading, and he wanted to write a summary before the topic was decided.

The student said: "These are just documents on webofscience. There are more than 300 articles in total. I will filter these documents again. Only about [-] articles are enough for intensive reading, isn't it?"

Zhong Li said: "You can do this. Before you write the meta-analysis, you write the outline first, and bring it to me for review. We will discuss it later, and decide step by step before doing it, so as to avoid detours. It's just that the topic you choose, I I’m worried that you won’t be able to finish it in two years, so you can only do it from the first semester. Take Cao Geng and Tan Linlin to read the literature first, so that they can also write a short review, and I will give it to you after I write it change."

The other party nodded in response, glanced at Zhou Xun, and said, "Is the seminar going to open on time this afternoon?"

Only then did Zhou Xun realize that Zhong Li's time plan was disrupted. Zhong Li should be busy in the afternoon. Before he had time to express that he would leave immediately, Zhong Li said, "Well, leave on time." He looked at the Look at the watch, "Four o'clock in the small conference room."

The other party said: "Then I will go first." Then he went out.

Before he went out, he did not help to close the office door.

Zhong Li got up from behind his desk, went over to close the office door, and then sat next to Zhou Xun.

He is a very simple person. When Zhou Xun first got his master's degree, he followed Zhong Li to do experiments, and found that this senior brother who was only one year older than him basically didn't care about anything except his studies and was very ignorant. Simple enough to be childish, but his academic ability is indeed very strong. At that time, his tutor asked him to do a doctorate, but he refused and went to a laboratory in the United States.

Many years have passed, and he has matured a little bit, but the familiar feeling is still the same.

Zhong Li apologized to Zhou Xun: "I've been busy since I decided to come back last year. I wanted to contact you to find you for a party, but I never had the time."

Zhou Xun said: "From now on, I will be in City C. There will be too many opportunities for gatherings. How about it, are you still used to it when you come back?"

Zhong Li frowned and sighed: "I just came back, I haven't figured out many things yet, I've been busy all day long, I should get used to it gradually."

It seems that Zhong Li did suffer a lot of grievances after he came back, and he complained to Zhou Xun, who had a common topic, "Hey, I never thought that things would be so chaotic before, and I almost couldn't recruit students this year. Fortunately, Teacher Yu helped me, and let me come back last year to intercede with the teacher in the admissions office, and only then did I recruit students."

Zhou Xun had stayed in this school much longer than Zhong Li, and he knew more about the affairs of the academy than him. As soon as Zhong Li said it, he knew what was going on.

The young teachers who have just returned to China are not well-known at all, and they may not have a project or foundation. Students who apply for the exam will naturally want to apply for a famous tutor, which leads to these small tutors having no students at all. When students are willing to transfer over, some small tutors will not be able to recruit students.

It's fine if you can't recruit students for a year. If some tutors can't recruit students for two or three consecutive years, it will be too miserable.

Zhou Xun stayed in the college for too long, and basically all the tutors, big and small, knew him, and the tutors basically knew him. Several tutors he knew had no experience in recruiting students. Even if they applied for the project, no one did it. Naturally enough to make people worry.

Zhou Xun said: "It's good if you can recruit, is the one just now your doctor?"

A smile finally appeared on Zhong Li's worried face before, and he said with a sigh of relief: "Yes, his name is Ye Yiheng. He is very good. But he is not just my doctor, he is a student jointly trained with the Academy of Military Science. Fortunately, he is willing to Come to me, otherwise I won’t be able to recruit doctoral students this year. Several topics are for master students to do, and they may not be able to do it. Having doctoral students to help guide the people in the laboratory reduces my work by at least half.”

Zhong Li's tone was full of gratitude.

Zhou Xun understands this feeling very well. For a new teacher, a good doctoral student is simply a good partner.

Zhou Xun said, "Why didn't you find a postdoctoral fellow to come over to collaborate on the project?"

Zhong Li said: "Teacher Yu reminded me that I sent out the recruitment notice before, but I approached two people, but I was not very satisfied, so I didn't ask for it."

After talking about himself, Zhong Li asked about Zhou Xun's situation again. Zhou Xun talked about his own affairs a little bit, and then got down to business, "Mr. Yu said that you are doing tuberculosis now, and I came here specifically to talk to you about this. Cooperation, see if you have any intention."

Zhong Li was surprised and said, "Didn't Teacher Yu say that you are HIV-positive?"

Zhou Xun said: "Nowadays there are so many HIV and tuberculosis dual-infections, I want to do projects with both dual-infections. I happen to be in the hospital below, and I can do on-site work. After I come back, I can also do on-site work there. After all, I am familiar with them. In addition to this, we can also discuss project cooperation with the disease control side. There are many tasks that are difficult for us to do, but they are very familiar with them."

Zhong Li said with great interest: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it in detail."

He quickly exchanged mobile phone numbers with Zhou Xun, and added WeChat with him, then looked at his watch and said, "I'm going to have a meeting with the students here, do you have anything to do next?"

Zhou Xun said: "There is nothing special about it. How long do you drive? If the time is short, I will wait for you to invite you to dinner."

Zhong Li was a person who seldom knew how to be tactful and polite, so he immediately said, "That's great, why don't you go to a meeting together and give me some advice."

Zhou Xun: "..."

Zhou Xun couldn't refuse, so he had to go to the meeting with him.

Zhong Li's laboratory has only one doctoral student and two master's students, and there are only three people in total. It won't take too long to hold an academic exchange meeting.

"This is my younger brother Zhou Xun. You call him Mr. Zhou. He mainly works on HIV, but he also knows a lot about tuberculosis. I invite him here to give you some advice."

Zhou Xun greeted everyone and sat next to Zhong Li, only then did he know that the student who brought him to find Zhong Li just now was called Cao Geng.

Cao Geng was quite embarrassed at this time, and kept writing and drawing in his notebook with his head down.

After listening to their seminar, Zhou Xun found that Zhong Li had really recruited a treasure this time. The student he recruited was not only excellent, but very excellent.

He had two years of experience as a clinician before, and now he has transferred to do basic research. He has a much wider knowledge and ideas than ordinary students, mainly because he is very stable and can hold down children in the laboratory. them.

After the Seminar ended, Zhou Xun and Zhong Li went to have dinner again, because Zhong Li had to tidy up the laboratory with the students at night, so the two of them only ordered fried rice in the school cafeteria. I found that it was even more unpalatable than before, and I really saw a ghost.

He didn't want to eat any more after he had eaten two bites. He only said that he ate lunch late and was not hungry.

But Zhong Li didn't seem to think the canteen was bad, and Zhong Li also said: "There is this advantage in school, you can eat in the canteen. I see that many teachers in the college eat in the canteen."

Zhou Xun asked: "Are you married yet?"

Zhong Li said: "I'm too busy, I don't have time to think about this matter. I'm so busy, I don't have much time at home, and it's not good to waste others."

He asked Zhou Xun again, "What about you?"

He thought that Zhou Xun was not married either. After all, Mr. Yu didn't say that Zhou Xun was married, but Zhou Xun said, "I'm already married."

Zhong Li felt hurt in an instant, he froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Congratulations."
