The Passion of an Academic Rising Star

Later, Zhou Moqun approached Han Shixiu to discuss the matter of the thesis.

Han Shixiu has been swinging back and forth between the two ideas of "you can publish papers" and "you can't publish papers with the enemy".

In the end, after struggling for a while, Han Shixiu decided to go and have a look first. Even if we won't conduct research together later, it would be good to spy on the enemy's situation at this stage.

Having made up his mind, Han Shixiu made an appointment with Zhou Moqun and went directly to Zhou Moqun's office.

Knocking on the door and going in, Zhou Moqun was talking to a student.

"Your paper," Zhou Moqun tapped something on the table with his finger: "You didn't write it yourself, did you?"

"Uh..." The boy looked at the paper, still wanting to die: "I wrote it myself..."

"I've read the article you plagiarized." Zhou Moqun was so ruthless sometimes.

The student fell silent.

——In an instant, even Han Shixiu was a little angry.

What he hates the most are people who are not serious about academics.

After taking a class for a semester, what's the point of just copying an article and coping with the homework in the end?

Plagiarism is shameful.

They have no idea how sacred it is to learn.

——I can’t experience the joy of discovering new achievements.

……

Zhou Moqun looked up at the student: "I'll give you a chance to take it back and rewrite it, but the final score can only be between 60 and 75."

The voice is not loud, but the tone is unquestionable.

"Teacher Zhou, don't do this..." the student begged, "I wrote the first half of it myself..."

"No way." Zhou Moqun said, "The first half is another study by the same author."

"..." The student looked down at his manuscript.

"I have read every one of this scholar's articles. Even if you copied only one sentence, I can tell, let alone the whole article. ... I also know this person. Every professor has read a lot of articles in his own field. Therefore, don’t take chances and think that you won’t be discovered. Graduate students cultivate the ability to think independently, which should be cherished.”

"Teacher Zhou..." The student still didn't give up: "Don't give me such a low score..."

"If you think it's too low, you can consider retaking." Zhou Moqun said softly: "Our school's policy is that retaking can overwrite the previous grades, and will not affect your final total score. This time I will not report to the school, but if there is another time, I will definitely go through the formal process, there is no need to discuss it, and by then, the most serious result may be to drop out of school."

"..."

Zhou Moqun's strict attitude made Han Shixiu have a rare liking for him.

Han Shixiu knew that some popular professors often turned a blind eye to this kind of matter.They can be said to be the accomplices of academic corruption.But at the same time, Zhou Moqun didn't have any leeway to stay, so he still didn't have to be cruel and took care of the students.

"...can I ask," Zhou Moqun said again, "Why did this happen?"

"This..." the student gritted his teeth and said, "I made this all night before the deadline..."

"Why didn't you start doing it sooner?"

"Everything..." the student said, "Everything...is for the Horde..."

"..."

"Teacher Zhou," the student said with a sad face, "Those days were the critical moment for the tribe, I really couldn't leave at that time..."

"This..." Zhou Moqun said: "The person who plays online games with you should be your valued partner, right? In this case, you should tell them that those few days are the end of the term and also your critical moment. Let the team slow down for a while, and continue after you finish writing."

"I..." the student lowered his head and said, "I see..."

"This scholar's article is good." Zhou Moqun handed over the student's homework: "You can learn from it, but don't copy it."

……what?

Han Shixiu poked his head curiously, thinking, who can get such approval from Zhou Moqun for his research?

In one corner of the table, the students' homework was originally placed, and next to it were the plagiarized manuscripts. Zhou Moqun printed them out.

Han Shixiu looked hard, looked hard, and finally saw the topic clearly.

This... isn't this my thesis!

It turns out that Zhou Moqun has seen all my achievements...

But this is not surprising, Han Shixiu thought again, we are researchers in the same field, Zhou Moqun has every reason to carefully read other people's articles.

Although rationality is calling like this, Han Shixiu can't help but feel elated, every cell in his body is full of pride.

The favorability towards Zhou Moqun seems to have increased a little bit.

Because he appreciates himself--

Although Zhou Moqun's academic views are in a mess, he still knows what to do——

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou..." The student squeezed his thesis: "I'll go back and redo it..."

"Uh..." Han Shixiu looked at the boy.

On the one hand, Han Shixiu felt that being copied was disgusting.On the other hand, he felt that being copied meant that I was recognized by this student.Han Shixiu stood there, so entangled that his personality was about to split.

The student looked at Zhou Moqun, and said, "Teacher Zhou...really...really can't you give me a higher grade? Even if I write well..."

Zhou Moqun shook his head: "That way you can get about 75, if you want to do more, you have to rebuild."

"Oh……"

"That..." Han Shixiu couldn't help interjecting when he heard this, "The low score of 60 to 75 is because you plagiarized... this paper, you can get an A just by looking at the content... the content you copied is very good , you can get an A. But because you copied it, you will be asked to rewrite it, and then you will be given a C or D.”

"..." Zhou Moqun glanced at Han Shixiu with a complicated expression.

——After the student left, Zhou Moqun and Han Shixiu continued to chat about academic topics.

As soon as this was mentioned, Han Shixiu's chatterbox opened up, and blablabla kept talking.

Zhou Moqun looked at Han Shixiu's appearance, and couldn't help but think of the scene when they first met.

Zhou Moqun also studied at T University before.

On the day Han Shixiu went to T University, Zhou Moqun also went to the station.Because the student union didn't have enough staff, Zhou Moqun, who was easy to talk to, was also dragged away.

Picking up freshmen at that time was a blind date meeting in disguise, because there were too few members of the opposite sex in Han Shixiu's academy.

The new girls are taken care of by their seniors, especially the pretty and cute ones, who are often surrounded by a group.Those who are not beautiful and cute will never be left out.

There is even an unwritten rule in the student union, that is, the president of the student council can pick the most beautiful girl to pick up, the vice president picks the next most beautiful girl to pick up, and so on.

When Han Shixiu left the station, there happened to be two very lovely girls with him, so everyone "hulala" and talked to them all at once, trying their best to express themselves, not to be outdone.

At that time, Han Shixiu was carrying a large box and a small box, and looked at everyone blankly.

It was Zhou Moqun who went to help Master Han.

Instead of looking for his junior, he took Han Shixiu to the bus and helped Han Shixiu get his luggage to the bus.The luggage was very heavy, and Zhou Moqun knew as soon as he picked it up that it was basically full of books.

Then, on the way back to school, Han Shixiu kept talking about his longing for learning, and talked all the way.

He doesn't ask about the food in the cafeteria, the conditions of the dormitory, the surrounding attractions, the difficulty of the exam, or the employment prospects. All he cares about is how long the professors will be in the office every day, how are the equipment in the laboratory, and where is the city? Books can be purchased...

It was at that time that Zhou Moqun began to pay attention to Master Han.

Although Han Shixiu had already forgotten about him.

At that time, Zhou Moqun reported his name, but the two never contacted each other after getting off the car, not even once.

Zhou Moqun thought, in Han Shixiu's impression, he was probably just a "senior who picked up the station".

Because Han Shixiu doesn't care about these at all.

——The only one who always remembers that day is myself.
