Confession of Rebirth

Gu Chen read the paper on "The Economist" seriously, and he felt that he had been completely reborn, beyond recognition.

It can’t be said that it’s completely reborn, the muscles and bones are still the same muscles and bones, but under Professor Xing’s embellishment, the concept and pattern of the whole article have been elevated by more than one level. .

To explain it in a simple way, it is like a person with good bones who spends a lot of money on medical aesthetics.

"You're really hiding something." Cheng Yi punched Gu Chen, and said without any concealment of envy: "You can publish a paper in a journal like "Economist" just after freshman—or with Published in the name of the first author, I guess you are the only one in the country, right?"

"I really don't know what ecstasy soup you poured into Professor Xing. You actually made him put so much effort into cultivating you!" Hearing Cheng Yi's words, Xia Tian, ​​who was also studying in the library, couldn't bear it anymore.Ignoring the library's rule against making loud noises, he said bitterly: "I remember that your thesis was on the first day of school, and you were punished by Professor Xing for escaping professional classes. Calculate the time, from the time it was written until now, At most, it will only take two and a half months. Even if you really submit a paper to a journal, the average person may not even pass the review process, and you will publish the paper directly. In the name of the first author, you can still ask Professor Xing to polish your pen."

"Hey, what do you mean by that? I don't know what ecstasy soup Gu Chen poured into Professor Xing?" Before Gu Chen could respond, Cheng Yi became dissatisfied, went up and pushed Xia Tian, ​​and shouted : "Why do I sound so sour! If you have the ability, you can also write a paper and show it to Professor Xing. If it is well written, it may surprise Professor Xing. I am willing to help you polish the pen. Recommended You published an article in a journal!"

Cheng Yi is a member of the basketball club. He is 1.8 meters six and weighs 75 kilograms.Going to the other station, the tall and burly people pulled their necks and yelled. Xia Tian, ​​who was still talking sourly just now, suddenly faltered, and sneered: "I don't have that ability. Don't I envy Gu Chen for his ability!"

Cheng Yi listened to Xia Tian's sly words, and sneered: "If you don't have that ability, don't talk nonsense. First, you look small, and second, your face is too ugly. Do you know?"

Xia Tian curled his lips unconvinced.After all, he was afraid of Cheng Yi's fist, so he didn't dare to say anything.

In just a short while, the curious people had already gone downstairs to borrow books.Those who couldn't borrow it went directly to the bookstore outside to buy it.Fortunately, University A has always paid attention to the academic atmosphere.Periodicals and magazines of this level are sold at nearby bookstores and newsstands.

Discussion sounds lingered throughout the library.Sitting in his seat, Gu Chen could also feel countless gazes either concealed or staring at him.Coupled with the fact that Cheng Yi sat beside him chattering excitedly, it was impossible to study at ease in this environment.Gu Chen simply packed his books and went to Professor Xing's office.

"What, the data I gave you is ready? Are you going to hand it in early?" Professor Xing looked at Gu Chen who was standing silently in front of the desk, and asked with a smile.

Ever since Professor Xing discovered Gu Chen's talent and professionalism in arranging data and making reports, he would often give Gu Chen the data he needed for research.

And because Gu Chen also has to take care of drawing mind maps, doing part-time jobs, researching stocks and other reasons, after sorting out the data and making the reports, he usually doesn't submit them in the first time, and has to wait until the last second of DDL Send it over.I am afraid that after handing in the homework, I will receive a new homework immediately.

Professor Xing is well aware of this.Of course, it won't be squeezed too hard.I just saw Gu Chen running over suddenly, even though he knew that Gu Chen was supposed to be doing it for "The Economist", he still couldn't help but tease the favorite student he was very optimistic about.

Gu Chen's ears warmed up slightly, and he felt a bit of embarrassment about "going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing" after being teased by Professor Xing.

"Okay. I won't tease you." Professor Xing also knew that his new student, although he looked indifferent and calm, was actually a delicate, shy and shy child.When he was teased hard, he was aggrieved and kept silent, holding back his strength to digest silently.

"As for your thesis, when it was just finished, I showed it to my old classmate. The original intention was to explore the feasibility of big data analysis in industrial operations. Both of us agreed that your thesis The idea is very realistic and instructive. It would be a pity if it is only put on the table for one or two people to play and judge. He happens to be the editor-in-chief of "The Economist", so he wants to publish this article , attract everyone’s attention, let more voices join in, and if it can trigger independent experiments by some enterprises, that would be even better.”

Of course, because of Gu Chen's knowledge reserve, coupled with the limitation of writing skills, if Gu Chen's original article wants to be published in "The Economist", it must not be up to standard.In desperation, Professor Xing had no choice but to polish the pen himself, pulling up the idea and layout of the article.Just in time for several recent economic seminars discussing industrial transformation and the way out of enterprise reform were about to be held, Professor Xing's old classmate who was the editor-in-chief of "The Economist" directly added a plug to Gu Chenna articles were published.

"You can publish articles in this kind of journal in your freshman year. For ordinary students, I'm afraid you don't even need to do your graduation thesis. But my students can't do it." Professor Xing nodded Gu Chen and said with a smile: "I found you In terms of practical operation, you are bold and cautious, dare to imagine, and are good at associating, and can integrate emerging things into aging industrial operations. Optimize corporate reforms and give new vitality and impetus to the industry. This is an advantage. But your academic accomplishment There is still a lot to be desired. So from now on, you have to pay more attention to the accumulation of knowledge reserves and the depth of academic discussions. You must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and don’t be complacent just because you have published an article.”

"Starting from next month, you organize the data and make a report. When you give it to me, you need to add an additional small paper. The number of words does not need to be too many, [-] words are enough. It is used to explain your own ideas. This is a month After that, you can save [-] words. At the end of the month, give me a project summary based on the data and reports you have compiled. Just follow the paper specifications published in journals. Be sure to pay attention to the wording."

"I've made a list of books for you here. You can read it carefully when you go back. You can't immerse yourself in the books when you are studying, but you can't just focus on those news reports and financial statements."

As Professor Xing said, he took out a piece of paper from the piles of documents on the table and handed it to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen: "..."

"What's wrong?" Professor Xing looked at his student's blank expression again and his pupils were shocked. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Is there a problem?"

"...No." Gu Chen hesitated to speak, but said, "I just don't think I'm worthy. The article published on "The Economist" this time is better than my previous article, both in structure and purpose. It's too high. I'm not qualified to be the first author."

"But the idea and content of the thesis are all your own." Professor Xing crossed his hands and rested his elbows on the desk.Looking at his students, he took the time to ask, "Or do you think that I should be greedy for the students' achievements. Just because I polished up the students' articles, I want to make the students' ideas my own?"

"Of course not!" Gu Chen immediately explained, "I didn't mean that—"

"Since you know that you are not good enough in academics, then you have to work harder." Professor Xing interrupted Gu Chen with a smile: "You must work hard to study academics, and try to use your own strength to publish in the "Economist" as soon as possible." Your own article."

Without waiting for Gu Chen to speak, Professor Xing said meaningfully: "Sometimes, doubts from the outside world can also become a motivation for a person to go up. Don't pay attention to what others say. You have a talent for learning. But to what extent you can do it, How high you can go is up to you.”

Gu Chen was thoughtful.

Professor Xing also said: "If you really feel that it is difficult to live up to the prestigious name, you should work hard to make it worthy of the name."

paused.Professor Xing added: "Also, the compiled data reports can be handed in earlier. Don't be lazy. I know you have a lot of things to do, and you are afraid of overloading your homework. But the teacher is also anxious to write articles."

Gu Chen felt a little embarrassed when his lazy little move was directly exposed by the professor.He blinked, and looked at Professor Xing with a little guilt.There was an inexplicable cuteness in his expression.

Professor Xing burst out laughing.

In the office, Gu Chen directly printed out the sorted data report and handed it to Professor Xing, and took away the new data he needed to sort out and the book list that Professor Xing gave him.When I was going out, I happened to meet the senior assistant who came to see Professor Xing.

This brother is in the third year of graduate school this year, and he is also preparing his graduation thesis recently.Speaking of which, the reason why Gu Chen has so much data to sort out recently is also thanks to this senior brother—it should have been sorted out by this senior brother, because the senior brother is busy writing his graduation thesis and busy looking for a job unit, so it is up to him The responsible part of the finishing progress is a bit behind.In addition, the data reports compiled by Gu Chen are fast and good, and the visualization of big data analysis is more in line with Professor Xing's aesthetics. Professor Xing simply handed over most of the work that should be assigned to teaching assistants to Gu Chen—directly causing Gu Chen Shen has more and more homework after class.

Probably because he saw Gu Chen's article published on "The Economist", the assistant teacher looked at Gu Chen with complicated eyes.After saying hello, he was the first to say "Congratulations."

He asked Gu Chen again: "Can I have a look at the thesis you wrote earlier? As you know, my brother is also preparing a graduation thesis recently. My defense direction is also "Trade Liberalization and Market Macro-control". This topic is too big. It's making my head dizzy. I want to read your paper as a reference."

Before Gu Chen could speak, the senior assistant smiled and said, "I've already read the article you published in The Economist. Because of the professor's embellishment, the concept and structure are too high. If you write in this direction, you will be criticized by the professor for being fake and empty. So I want to read your original work. I think your paper can be valued by the professor and recommended for The Economist, and there must be something unique in your opinion.”

Gu Chen fixedly glanced at the senior assistant, but didn't say anything.Slightly smiled: "Okay, I will pass the article to you later."

"Thank you very much." The assistant teacher nodded, and pointed to the door of Professor Xing's office: "I'll go in first, so I won't delay you."

The assistant teacher walked into Professor Xing's office with his first draft of the thesis.Professor Xing was flipping through the data report that Gu Chen had just printed.

"This freshman is really amazing." The assistant teacher looked at Professor Xing's unabashed admiration, thought for a while, and said, "I heard that he used his part-time job to earn money. With the money he got, he opened an account in a securities company and made millions with leverage. Later, he helped others to increase leverage and earned 3000 million. Now it has spread in the circle, saying that at a young age, he is simply a new generation of stock god .”

Professor Xing paused slightly while flipping through the materials, and asked calmly, "Circle? What circle?"

"It's the circle of retail investors with hot money trading." The assistant teacher smiled slightly and said: "Professor, you also know that the market is going well now, and it is said that the bull market is hot. The real economy is sluggish, and many real bosses are also They are all trying to make money by speculating in stocks. The boss of Gu Chen's gang heard that he almost lost his fortune in stocks before, but in the end he had no choice but to find Gu Chen to help him turn around."

Professor Xing's face darkened slightly.

Anyone who pays a little attention to Professor Xing's academic direction knows that Professor Xing has always advocated supporting the real economy, calling on entrepreneurs to develop industries in a down-to-earth manner, and seek innovation through technology.It advocates the rejuvenation of the country through industry and the salvation of the country through industry.The most objection is that capital investment is tricky, regardless of the actual situation of the industry, blind investment, chasing hot money.For example, the so-called concept stocks that are very popular in the stock market are what Professor Xing dislikes the most.

The assistant teacher has been with Professor Xing for seven years, so of course he knows Professor Xing's temper.After finishing the click, he immediately changed the subject and handed in the first draft of his graduation thesis.

Gu Chen returned to the dormitory, and Gu Xiu was also there.I didn't know where I found out that Gu Chen had published an article on "The Economist", and stopped Gu Chen with a complicated expression: "Brother, congratulations."

Gu Chen responded, packed up his books, and prepared to go to the common room to read.

Gu Xiu asked, "Since when did you have such a good relationship with Professor Xing?"

Gu Chen looked at Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu said: "What I mean is, I didn't expect Professor Xing to value you so much. He would recommend your article to be published in The Economist, and he would personally help you polish it and return it to you as the first author."

"I'm your younger brother. Of course I'm happy for you that you can achieve such an achievement. It's just a little bit lost. We are brothers. My brother is so powerful, but I still can't achieve anything." Gu Xiu blinked her eyes and looked Looking innocently at Gu Chen: "Brother, I really want to work hard. I will take you as my role model. I will follow you."

After finishing speaking, Gu Xiu looked at Gu Chen with some hesitation, and tentatively asked: "Brother, is it because you help him sort out the data every day that Professor Xing values ​​you so much?"

Gu Chen said: "What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing." Gu Xiu smiled slightly, and nervously clasped her fingers: "I just want to say, brother, you are usually so busy studying, and you also have to work part-time to sell properties, draw mind maps and publish books, and speculate in stocks. I also want to play basketball. You work so hard, and I want to help you too."

"Can you teach me to organize the data. Let me help you share it?" Gu Xiu tried to open his eyes wide, looking at Gu Chen expectantly: "We are brothers, and I also want to help my brother."

Gu Chen laughed: "You say such a thing, do you believe it yourself?"

Gu Xiu: "..."

The smile on Gu Xiu's face suddenly froze, he looked at Gu Chen, and asked embarrassingly, "Brother, what do you mean by saying that?"

"You want to work hard, I have no objection. But don't make plans on me." Gu Chen said lightly.

It was like this in my previous life. Gu Xiu always begged him to teach this or that in the name of a brother, but Gu Chen also taught him, and he did everything that should be done. It's him who cares about Chen's inability to add to the chaos.

Gu Chen laughed at himself.Not bothering to talk to Gu Xiu, she carried her schoolbag and left the dormitory.

Only Gu Xiu was left standing there with a flushed face.

As soon as Gu Chen reached the entrance of the public activity room, Gao Haiyang stopped him.

"Brother is awesome!" Gao Haiyang grabbed Gu Chen's shoulders and gave him a thumbs up: "I have something to talk about, let's find a convenient place to talk."

Gao Haiyang hooked Gu Chen's neck and went to a milk tea shop opposite the school.

"Let me officially introduce my girlfriend, Jiang Weiwei." Gao Haiyang pointed to the girl who had already taken a seat in the milk tea shop and ordered three cups of milk tea, and said with a smile, "My brother, Gu Chen."

"I've heard about the famous name for a long time." Jiang Weiwei smiled and stretched out her hand: "I just read the article published by the elementary school student on "The Economist". It's a strategic place."

"Professor Xing polished it up well, but my article is not that good." Gu Chen said modestly.

"The meat is good-looking, but you have to have the spirit of the show." Jiang Weiwei smiled and said, "You don't have to be too humble, a junior. You must have your own strengths, otherwise Mr. Xing won't favor you."

After a few words of pleasantries, Jiang Weiwei took out her laptop from her bag: "I have already designed the cover and layout of the "Mind Map" we are going to publish before. Take a look and see if there is anything you are not satisfied with, just follow me directly. Said, I can go back and change."

Gu Chen was a little surprised: "So fast?" He had only finished drawing the mind maps of "Tax Law" and "Economic Law" in less than a week, but Jiang Weiwei had even finished the cover and layout.

"It's not too fast. After all, everyone is in a hurry." Gao Haiyang took a sip of milk tea, chewed the pearls, and said, "Look at the girdle design, I thought of those two slogans. What do you think?"

Gu Chen followed Gao Haiyang's words to look at the page of the girdle, and saw two sentences carelessly written on it—a sharp tool used by A university students, and a reference material handed down by word of mouth within the four major firms. "CPA Tax Law and Economic Law Mind Map", your first choice for preparing for the CPA exam.

Gu Chen laughed dumbly: "Isn't this too exaggerated?"

Gao Haiyang raised his eyebrows and asked: "Where is the exaggeration, it is clearly seeking truth from facts, okay? I still think it is too low-key. Thanks to the timely publication of this issue of "The Economist", I think we can add '" on the cover. The Economist's first author's test preparation masterpiece', and so on.

"Do you feel that this book has become taller in an instant?"

Gu Chen shook his head, a little speechless.

Jiang Weiwei smiled and pushed her boyfriend.Gao Haiyang bumped his girlfriend's shoulder with a smile, and then asked Gu Chen: "If you have no objections, Weiwei will take it to their president for final review and issuance. When the time comes, the publishing house will send the manuscript to the printing factory first. Proofs are made, the printing factory finishes the drafts, and then sends them back to the publishing house for proofreading, and they can be printed in batches without any problems. This is probably the process. Am I right?"

After Gao Haiyang said the last sentence, he leaned next to his girlfriend with a playful smile on his face.

Jiang Weiwei shoved Gao Haiyang a little embarrassedly.He said to Gu Chen with a serious face: "It's probably the process. This is also the first time that I am fully responsible for the publication of a book. In fact, our publishing house didn't pay much attention to these two books. After all, you know that, We are all still students, and the purpose of publishing the book is not to be famous, but to save a little more copying costs, and then improve the quality of the materials."

But no one expected that Gu Chen would quietly produce an article published in "The Economist".And it's the title of the first author.The key is that Professor Xing personally retouched the pen, and the editor-in-chief of "The Economist" made an exception and published it.Now that the publishing house has heard the news, it has begun to attach importance to the release of these two books.They all want to make a gimmick on these two books.Naturally, in terms of publicity and distribution, no one cares about it as originally planned.

"What our president means is that it would be great if you could invite Professor Xing to write a preface for your two books."

Gu Chen frowned, subconsciously wanting to refuse.

Jiang Weiwei looked at her words and asked with a smile: "Are you really not thinking about it? I think Professor Xing has cultivated you so much, he must be very optimistic about you. If he knows that you have published a book, he will be very pleased."

Gu Chen said: "Senior sister also said that our original intention of publishing these two books was to save copying costs and improve the quality of the paper. It sounds better to publish a book, but it is actually just one of my reading notes. There is no technical content and For academic value, don’t mobilize teachers.”

"You are too modest." Jiang Weiwei smiled, and could understand Gu Chen's concerns: "That's good. Besides this, our publishing house also wants to do an interview for your situation. I just want to talk about your study experience. Views, as well as your part-time job, including your achievements in stock trading. I just want to package you as a genius with a very keen financial sense—”

"It's not necessary." Gu Chen would rather do things down-to-earth after living a new life.Before everything was done beautifully, Gu Chen didn't want to be too public.

Gao Haiyang chuckled: "I'll just say it! Gu Chen won't agree. He's a down-to-earth person, and he doesn't put on airs."

Jiang Weiwei hooked the corner of her mouth: "I understand."

After a pause, Jiang Weiwei said again: "However, do you want to think about it again? If you follow the publicity plan planned by the publishing house, you are likely to be packaged as a new generation of academic male god. With such a good chance of becoming famous, you Are you really not moved?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "Just follow our previous steps."

"Okay!" Jiang Weiwei shrugged regretfully.The first time I was in charge of publishing, I had the opportunity to create a male god.For Jiang Weiwei, this is also a temptation in her career.But even if the author doesn't cooperate, she can't do anything about it.

Gao Haiyang patted his girlfriend on the shoulder, and said in relief: "Come on, Gu Chen still has four guide books that haven't been released yet! You have to believe that girls are good at nympho. Gu Chen is such an awesome master , there's no need to make a deliberate attempt to create a male god, he won't be buried."
