The Passion of an Academic Rising Star

Early the next morning, while lowering his head, Han Shixiu put all his books into his schoolbag, and said to Zou Sijiu, "Zou Sijiu, I want to go abroad for a year as an exchange."

"...What?" Zou Sijiu had already reached the door of the dormitory, but when he heard this, he stopped and looked back at Master Han.

"I've already contacted a famous professor. His surname is Yu, Chinese. He is the winner of the XXX Award. He is quite capable. Have you heard of the XXX Award? It is an honor that is recognized internationally."

Did not hear Zou Sijiu's reply, Han Shixiu continued: "I met him in an academic field, a...a friend introduced us to each other. At that time, he was very interested in reading the paper I brought. I continued to contact, sent my resume, and showed some of my research results. After two phone calls, he quickly decided to accept me."

"..."

"The process...the process is like this..."

Zou Sijiu still looked at Han Shixiu with burning eyes: "Who was crying and begging me not to leave in the middle of the night last night?"

"Hmm...?" Han Shixiu said, "I didn't...I didn't..."

"Why not?" Zou Sijiu said unceremoniously, "I just went to the bathroom, you just jumped up and asked me what I wanted to do."

"..."

"And I promise never to leave you alone."

"I... I didn't say that..."

"Go."

"……Hey?"

"Go ahead, I'm teasing you." Zou Sijiu said, "A one-year exchange abroad should be more helpful to you."

"...?"

"I should support any decision you make, shouldn't I?"

"But..." Han Shixiu was a little dazed: "You seemed dissatisfied just now..."

"What I'm dissatisfied with is that you didn't tell me about it until now." Zou Sijiu said, "I thought before that I was your only supporter, and that I should be the first to be notified when something happened. As a result, I have been buried in the dark, and I have already reached this point, and you just said such a casual sentence, like talking about the weather."

I don't know what's going on, but Han Shixiu just feels that... Zou Sijiu feels a little resentful towards his wife, that is, "Do you still have my wife in your eyes?", "What do you think this family is?" kind...

Han Shixiu quickly explained: "No, no... I thought it would be better not to let anyone know until it's finalized. After all, it's not yet done. Later... Although Professor Yu agreed to take me in, I'm still here. Hesitating when to go..."

"Then why did you suddenly decide to start preparing immediately?"

"This..." Han Shixiu gritted his teeth: "I suddenly realized that I have to work harder."

Zou Sijiu did not speak.

"The me now is far from enough... I have to work harder..."

——He wanted to overcome that difficulty before Zhou Moqun came back, and took this paper as a gift to welcome Zhou Moqun.

After several days of uneasiness and fear, Han Shixiu is now absolutely convinced that Zhou Moqun will contact him again.

Zou Sijiu nodded: "How about that metaphor? It won't be another pervert."

"Hmm..." Han Shixiu recalled: "I checked...some people said that Professor Yu is not good, he is very strict, he likes to get angry, he loves to yell at others, and almost every student has been scolded and cried by him. Everyone in the laboratory is in a state of walking on thin ice, and can't tolerate someone who can live comfortably while doing research, because... In his opinion, the laboratory is a place to cultivate heroes, um, intellectual heroes, not that It's a kind of fighting... So, he called this process tempering. I contacted a few senior brothers and sisters, and these people said that every time they see the mentor, they feel... hairy."

"and then?"

"But I decided that this should be a place where I can learn something." Han Shixiu said: "At that academic conference, he gave a report. Although he used a large part of his self-praise...but the academic part was very Seriously... He said that programming is like playing the piano. Wrong code is like a wrong note. It plays awkwardly and sounds even more awkward. It must feel smooth, natural, and smooth. Therefore, you should write more at ordinary times. Cultivate your feelings, so that when you make mistakes in the future, you will feel uncomfortable first, and you may find it without running it... I think this is a person who has really worked hard, a person who has really written a lot of code Only words that can be said..."

"anything else?"

"What's more..." Han Shixiu said: "As a tutor, he's not bad...he attaches great importance to every student. I heard that he often said in group meetings that he loves each other and is loyal to each other. I, I think go……"

Another reason Han Shixiu didn't mention was that this was the tutor recommended by Zhou Moqun, and Zhou Moqun couldn't introduce it casually.

"Sounds pretty good." Zou Sijiu said, "I don't have much to do tonight, so I should be back on time, and I'll talk about it later in the evening."

"it is good……"

……

——As a result, at night, as soon as Zou Sijiu entered the room, he found that Han Shixiu was particularly depressed.

A few days ago, I felt like I had lost my soul. Last night and this morning, I was in a state of finally cheering up. Now, I'm listless again.

"Zou Sijiu..."

"what happened?"

"My acting tutor...Professor Qiu...don't agree to write me a letter of recommendation..."

"why?"

"I don't know...he said...I'm not his student...he just took over the lab, he doesn't know me yet, he can't write a letter of recommendation...for those who don't know me, I don't know what to write..."

"Does this require more understanding and familiarity?"

"Professor Qiu also said... If I go to him again, he will just write me a sentence: Han Shixiu once stayed in my laboratory."

"..."

"Professor Qiu finally said...I think my level is not enough to work in a laboratory in the United States...The school has very high requirements for exchange students, I must not pass, even if I apply, I will be kicked out, in vain It's better to concentrate on doing something serious instead of wasting time..."

"If even you can't reach that level, few people can."

"Professor Qiu said that he has seen other people's resumes, they are all excellent..."

"They all played to that level." Zou Sijiu frowned: "You can also blow to that level, can't you?"

Han Shixiu didn't continue, but kept saying like Mrs. Xianglin: "What should I do now... what should I do now..."

"Don't worry." Zou Sijiu patted Han Shixiu's face lightly: "Come home with me tomorrow."

"……Um?"

"Let your Professor Zou give you this letter of recommendation."

"……Um?"

"It's okay." Zou Sijiu said: "Although he is not your mentor, it should be enough to let him spend more time and make it better. Don't get too obsessed with the 'mentor'. Nothing could be worse."

"That's right..." Han Shixiu said, "You won't bother Professor Zou too much, will you?"

"Let him play a few rounds of mahjong less."

"Thank you." Han Shixiu said sincerely, "Zou Sijiu, thank you."

"By the way," Zou Sijiu suddenly remembered something: "Don't tell my dad that we live together."

"Oh... ok... ok."

"I'll tell him about cohabitation later."

"oh oh……"

... cohabitation?

That word sounds... a bit weird...

——Then Shixiu Han began to prepare other application materials.

He filled out the forms very seriously, and wrote several paragraphs densely for each question.

Even the "learning goals" and "training plans" are neatly listed in many, many ways.

During the period, Zou Sijiu came over to take a look, and then said, "You can't do that."

"Huh..." Han Shixiu was surprised: "What's wrong?"

"Will not work."

"No matter how you call it 'no way'..."

"I'll write a demonstration for you." Zou Sijiu said, and pulled out another chair under the desk: "Show me your resume. Oh, and the form you filled out just now."

"Oh……"

Zou Sijiu only glanced at it, and then began typing away at the computer.

Within half an hour, Han Shixiu was called over: "Okay."

"Here we come..."

"I'll send it to your email."

Han Shixiu downloaded what Zou Sijiu had written. After reading it, he said it was for a demonstration, but he actually rewrote all the questions.

Han Shixiu felt a little touched, there are three whole pages... Zou Sijiu has done everything...

On closer inspection, I feel something is wrong...

Han Shixiu's face was hot, his neck was red, and he stammered, "This...this...is this me?"

"Why not you?"

Han Shixiu wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in: "Is it going to be too much... How can I be so good..."

"I don't think so at all."

"You are beauty in the eye of the beholder..."

"Oh?" Zou Sijiu smiled: "That sentence is correct."

"No..." Han Shixiu said, "I used the wrong slang... But, it's almost the same meaning... I think you... have said me too well."

"Oh?" Zou Sijiu said: "Then tell me, which sentence is not true?"

Han Shixiu looked hard, searched hard, and there really wasn't a word that was untrue.

But I just feel that if I write the same content, I will appear ordinary, but when Zou Sijiu writes it, I will appear...excellent...

"It's true..." Han Shixiu said, "But..."

"Just use this." Zou Sijiu stood up: "It is basically certain that the application will be approved."

"..."

Han Shixiu looked at these words and suddenly felt that Zou Sijiu was advertising himself as his blood pressure device...

This style is so familiar, the public relations draft of "Hypertensive Master Han" was indeed written by Zou Sijiu himself...

Zou Sijiu stared at Han Shixiu for a while, and suddenly threw out his trump card: "Otherwise, don't go to Professor Zou, so as not to embarrass my dad by following you."

"..."

"..."

"Then... that's fine..." Han Shixiu said, "I'll change it again... There are some parts in your application form that I dare not use..."

I don't want to use either...

"up to you."

……

"Zou Sijiu..." After rewriting, Han Shixiu felt that he still cared about Professor Qiu's affairs: "Why... Professor Qiu is not even willing to write me a letter of recommendation?"

"Don't pay attention to him." Zou Sijiu said, "He's jealous of you."

"……what?"

"Because you have a better future than him at that time."

"Is...is that so?" Han Shixiu never thought that there is such a possibility.

"Are you happier this time?"

"Um……"

Zou Sijiu also smiled.

He knew that saying this would make Han Shixiu feel better.Han Shixiu is actually conceited and inferior, with a strong self-esteem.

"What's more," Zou Sijiu said again: "No matter how much Professor Qiu treats you, don't go astray because you are anxious."

"I won't." Han Shixiu said while revising the application form, "Some people...will succumb to reality in order to realize their dreams, but I think...for those who pursue their dreams, the most important thing is It is a very pure love that I want to cherish when I am sure of my dream. If it is just for the goal, if you make yourself too wronged and uncomfortable, it will be meaningless. Happiness has been destroyed, and all that is left is not It’s just willing to admit defeat, such a dream is not a dream.”

Zou Sijiu looked at Han Shixiu silently for a while, and then said, "I know something about that kind of professor."

"what?"

"There is a wrong understanding of science, working hard, but eager for quick success, and doing anything for the number of articles. I don't care about how to explore the unknown world, but pursue popular and novel things as gimmicks to attract attention. The academic world Think of it as a vanity fair, doing research is for money and fame. No matter whether the experiment is reliable or not, we must try our best to make up the results that can be published. If it is really impossible to do it, we have to make it.”

"right……"

Some people in the class are like that.Instead of seriously studying the unexpected things discovered in the experiment, they deliberately ignored them and tried to hide them.I don't care about doing research, but I like to spend time studying how to make a very beautiful PPT, how to make a wonderful speech in a meeting, how to slightly change someone else's stuff and give it a new name...

As for Professor Qiu, he seemed to prefer this method.Give students a deadline every week, asking for what results must be made, and even writing the article in advance, laying out the conclusion, and leaving the data and graphs blank, which means that they can fill in later, and only put what can support The argument stuff is just fine.And, not only do not think this is wrong, but feel that the most efficient laboratory in the world is their kind of laboratory.

Serious people like Han Shixiu often fail to produce the results that Professor Qiu wants, and will be punished.However, there is obviously very strong evidence to prove that the original assumption was wrong, and it is obviously necessary to spend time reading more papers to explain this phenomenon... But every time this happens, Professor Qiu will say: "I have provided you with such a So many resources, so much energy for you, and you, with such a good opportunity, can't do anything, this is a waste of my money and time..." Han Shixiu sometimes feels, Since Professor Qiu came, the laboratory is not like scientific research, but more similar to industrial production.

"In fact, there are more people like Professor Qiu." Zou Sijiu paused: "So..."

"So what?"

"That's why I think you're stupid."

"……Hey?"

Han Shixiu was a little at a loss.It sounded, it sounded like she was trying to praise herself, but why did she suddenly become scolding herself...

"Fool." Zou Sijiu suddenly changed the subject: "After I ask you Professor Zou to write the recommendation letter...you can invite him out for dinner and drinks."

"what?"

Zou Sijiu looked at Han Shixiu: "Although I think he likes you very much...but I think...it's best to let him like you a little bit more."

"what?"

"Be obedient." Zou Sijiu's voice became very deceptive: "This is for the future of both of us."

"...?"
