From all-round academic master to chief scientist

This concludes Chen Mingkai’s defense.

Although there was a little hiccup at the end, it didn't seem like anything to the people present.

Most people didn't even know that Professor Zhao Xin, who finally stood up to ask questions, was actually here to make trouble.

There was nothing he could do about it. He hadn't shown his aggression yet, but he had just had a hint of it, and was silenced by another thank you from Chen Mingkai.

Graduation defenses for doctoral students like this usually require an acknowledgment section. The acknowledgment naturally means thanking teachers, friends, family, etc. Of course, among the acknowledgments, the most grateful ones are to the supervisor.

So when Chen Mingkai talked about his paper and PPT, he already had acknowledgments.

Of course, this kind of acknowledgment is often in the form of a process. Unless the acknowledgment is written very uniquely, for example, if it is written in the form of classical Chinese, it may even make news. Generally speaking, for the defense teacher, it is just a matter of reading it. It depends on whether these acknowledgments are copied or written by yourself. It is a matter of attitude.

However, no one expected that after a formal defense, Chen Mingkai would use a provocative question to complete such an original thank you.

Ever since, when the last five judges gave their scores, they didn't skimp on their scores at all. They all gave scores of over 90, and even Xu Ji gave 100 points.

After all, Xu Ji also helped Lin Xiao teach Chen Mingkai. Although it didn't last long, they knew each other, so they naturally gave him full marks.

In this way, Chen Mingkai unofficially became a real doctor. When the degree certificate is issued, he will officially become one.

"Mingkai, you did a good job. Congratulations on the successful completion of your doctoral defense. The next step is to become a postdoc."

At the end of the defense, the five academicians of the defense committee, as well as Lin Xiao, took a group photo with Chen Mingkai. Lin Xiao smiled and patted Chen Mingkai on the shoulder and congratulated him.

"It's all thanks to your teachings, Professor Lin." Chen Mingkai chuckled.

"Okay, I know all these things."

Lin Xiao smiled happily.

No matter what, after training Chen Mingkai, he had just received the best reward that a teacher could get. It was also the first time that Lin Xiao felt the true joy of being a teacher.

As for the happiness in the past - it was probably when you were showing off in front of your students, right?

"Mingkai, your answer just now is very good. Lin Xiao, I'm so envious that you can have such a good student for the first time as a tutor."

At this time, Xu Ji also said next to him, patting Chen Mingkai on the shoulder, thinking that it would be great if he had such a good student, who could write good papers, be smart and be a good person.

He thought for a while and then said: "By the way, are you ready where to go after graduation? Do you want to stay in school to teach? You can also do projects with me in normal times, and your tutor Lin Xiao is also here."

Chen Mingkai scratched his head, "Well..."

Then he looked at Lin Xiao.

For PhD graduates like them, staying in school to teach is naturally the best choice, especially since this is still Beijing University. Being a university teacher is already a very prestigious status in the eyes of others, not to mention still going to Beijing University. University teacher.

Even as a researcher at the Dingguang Research Institute, in the eyes of the public, he is not as good as a teacher from Beijing University.

Of course, insiders know what's inside. Although the professor at Peking University is very good in the eyes of the public, as an insider, of course Chen Mingkai still has to choose Dingguang Research Institute.

Lin Xiao also received his meaning from his student's eyes, and then said with a smile: "I have already planned to let Ming Kai come to Dingguang Research Institute, so... let's see what he means."

Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "I forgot about this, there is a Dingguang Research Institute ahead, okay, then it seems that our School of Mathematics at Beijing University has no competitiveness."

Chen Mingkai said: "Thank you, Academician Xu, for the invitation. I also like Peking University very much. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will return to Peking University. After all, this is my alma mater no matter what."

Lin Xiao said with a smile: "Then you will continue to work hard and publish a few more good papers. Maybe by then our Peking University will take the initiative to hire you as a professor."

For academic research institutions like theirs, it is relatively common to work in research institutes and part-time as university professors. Of course, only people with strong enough academic abilities can have such treatment, like Lin Xiao so.

When Chen Mingkai heard Lin Xiao's words, he couldn't help scratching his head.

From Lin Xiao's perspective, writing a few good papers is just a piece of cake, but from his perspective, it's not that easy.

Of course, now that he has completed a paper that can be published in the four top journals, Chen Mingkai has a little confidence in his heart. Although he does not say that it will be completed soon, there is always a chance to complete it before the age of 35 or 40. Well.

As long as his paper is successfully published in the four top journals, his starting point will be much higher than others.

So with a confident expression on his face, he said: "I know Professor, I will continue to work hard."

"Um."

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded.

Xu Ji also smiled and said: "You are indeed the one who taught Ming Kai. This kind of confidence is very similar."

When Lin Xiao was still his student, he wasn't so confident.

"Come on, Mingkai, catch up with your mentor as soon as possible."

Chen Mingkai waved his hand quickly, "Ah... we'll talk about this later, as long as I can reach one-tenth of Professor Lin's level."

"Hey, if you show off your confidence just now, it must be at least half of it." Xu Ji said with a smile.

Chen Mingkai's face suddenly felt bitter.

Just kidding, I didn’t read it on the Internet. Even one-tenth of Lin Shen’s problem is several world-class problems. If this is half, why don’t we first build a photolithography machine?

Seeing Chen Mingkai's expression, Xu Ji and others around him laughed even louder.

Next, the defense was finally over, and everyone left here. As for Zhao Xin, he ran away early. If he stayed here, he might not be able to leave.

However, for the School of Mathematics of Peking University, it is obviously impossible to offend the abbot and still want to run away, especially when it is Lin Xiao who wants to offend.

As the golden signature of the Academy, if Lin Xiao's reputation is affected, it will be the Academy that will suffer in the end.

Even those in the Shuyuan who were also envious and jealous of the treatment enjoyed by Lin Xiao also expressed their irritation.

Usually people are envious and jealous, but if they really want to use such disgusting methods, it is obviously against the rules, especially now that they want to destroy their vital interests.

So after that, several academies launched a variety of methods to impose sanctions on Zhao Xin.

Including but not limited to suspending exchanges and cooperation with schools and research institutes behind Zhao Xin, personnel exchanges, etc.

Of course, these are only on the bright side. Those on the bright side are the least lethal, but on the dark side they are much more lethal. They can even directly affect the selection and professional titles of the units behind Zhao Xin through relationships. And funding, etc.

All in all, in order to ensure that similar things would not happen again in the future, their mathematics school almost tried their best this time.

After all, the college also knows that there are many people like Zhao Xin who have opinions about Lin Xiao. It happened once and passed with Chen Mingkai's wit, but what if there is a second time?

So there is only one way to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

So just like that, Zhao Xin was directly in bad luck.

…

In Zhao Xin's office.

He had a stern face, and could never forget what happened that day. Who would have thought that such a student could give such an answer at that time.

In the end, not only did he lose face, but his original plan to disgust Lin Xiao also came to nothing. Lin Xiao was even praised as a good teacher who educates people and educates people.

Then today he also got the news that the School of Mathematics at Peking University will stop any cooperation and exchanges with them. It may be impossible for their students to take the postgraduate entrance examination in Mathematics at Peking University in the future. For a key university like them among the 985 universities , which greatly affects the quality of students.

He also realized that this was most likely revenge from the House of Representatives.

In this regard, he also felt a little panic in his heart, fearing that something unexpected would happen in the end.

Finally, he shook his head and let out a sigh of relief, thinking it would be better not to worry so much.

Then he turned to look at his graduate students in the office, and couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart. Why didn't any of his students look like Chen Mingkai?

Frowning, he thought about how to continue to squeeze these students.

But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the office door, and Zhao Xin saw their department chair walking in.

"Professor Zhao, the principal is looking for you. Please go to the principal's office."

Zhao Xin suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart, principal? Why not the dean?

He quickly asked: "Director Wang, what's wrong?"

Director Wang's eyes were cold and he said directly without explaining, "You'll know when you go there."

Zhao Xin was stunned. Director Wang would never have such an attitude toward him before, but now?

"Hurry up and don't keep the principal waiting."

At this time, Director Wang urged again.

The uneasiness in Zhao Xin's heart suddenly became stronger.

Could it be that... the School of Mathematics at Beijing University has found their principal?

But at this time, he could only get up quickly and go to the principal's office.

Director Wang saw Zhao Xin leaving and snorted coldly. This guy has affected their college. Although they are not afraid of Beijing University, after all, it is also ranked among the top 985. In the final competition for political power, from the perspective of background They were really not afraid of what would happen to them, but they would not stand idle for Zhao Xin. It was an unreasonable thing to do.

Therefore, let Zhao Xin take all the responsibilities on his own.

Then he glanced at Zhao Xin's graduate students, who were still confused and didn't know what was going on.

Director Wang then said, "You can make preparations and find a new instructor."

After saying that, they left here.

Zhao Xin’s graduate students were immediately stunned.

What?

Are you ready to get a new tutor?

Their mentor is... leaving?

After a while, they looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

Finally!

They need to get rid of Zhao Sanjin who knows how to exploit them all day long.

Farewell, cage!
