I Am the President of the University

In the chip laboratory of Zhejiang University.

Chen Ping sat on the chair a little uneasily.

When the meeting ended in the morning, he was quite confident, but as the time approached, he started to panic.

He was a little worried about how many people would come in the end?

"There will be at least six or seven people, right?" Chen Ping moved his buttocks and was a little lost in thought.

Fortunately, Shi Ke joined in and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, as the time gradually approached, there were suddenly more people in the laboratory.

Until two o'clock comes.

Chen Ping looked at the people in front of him and felt happy.

This was something he had never imagined!

Apart from him, there were a total of 11 people present!

This is close to 1/2 of the number of people in the laboratory.

All eight of his doctoral students were here. He was a little surprised but understandable.

Associate researcher Shi Ke will not talk about it for now. He can understand the two postdoctoral fellows.

A postdoc is not a degree, but a period of work experience. Refers to those who engage in scientific research positions in colleges and universities or research institutions after obtaining a doctorate, usually at postdoctoral mobile stations or postdoctoral research workstations.

The term of a postdoctoral fellow is not long and is usually a transitional arrangement for engaging in scientific research.

After passing the assessment, one can be promoted from postdoctoral fellow to lecturer, and only a very few outstanding ones can become associate professors.

But, why did Professor Zhang’s doctoral student also come out?

Chen Ping thought for a moment, then stared at the other person and asked: "I remember your name is... Zeng Zhiwen, right? To be honest, I am quite surprised by your appearance. What do you think?"

"Professor Chen, I...I want to go to Guanghua University with you to do research." The young man named Zeng Zhiwen said with a blushing face and some embarrassment.

Chen Ping heard the firmness in the other party's tone, and couldn't help but ask: "Follow me... It's not impossible, but you have to explain the reason to me clearly, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain to Professor Zhang."

Zeng Zhiwen remained silent, and after a while he hesitated and said, "Because you didn't learn as much from Professor Zhang... than from Professor Chen."

After finishing speaking, Zeng Zhiwen raised his head, looked at Chen Ping with determination, and said sincerely: "Professor Chen, I want to follow you. I want to learn real skills, not just be a tool."

Zeng Zhiwen is a rural student. His parents are honest farmers. When he was admitted to Zhejiang University, it was a sensation in the village.

It’s not impossible for people from rural areas to get into college, but it’s really rare for people to get into prestigious universities.

After all, educational resources are poor.

Although he is a child who came from the countryside, he also has his own passion, but this passion was almost left cold by his mentor, Professor Zhang.

He wants to learn real skills, rather than be a scientific research tool.

Chen Ping sighed slightly after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Professor Zhang did something wrong. Let me talk to the secretary. The problem shouldn't be big."

Professor Zeng Zhiping is the only full professor in the laboratory besides him. He was an associate professor in the first few years after joining the laboratory. However, in the past few years, the laboratory has produced frequent results, and he has gradually been promoted to a full professor.

Unexpectedly, the young talents who were valued by Chen Ping at the beginning have become more nimble in recent years. Scientific research is no longer the focus, and building relationships has become the focus.

This also made him very disappointed.

This afternoon, after 2 o'clock, Professor Zhang and another associate professor Huang did not show up.

"Thank you, Professor Chen!" Zeng Zhiwen was happy when he heard this, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart. This semester, he had a Ph.

Fortunately, the nightmare is finally over.

Chen Ping shook his head, then turned to look at the eight doctoral students he led, feeling very pleased.

"I didn't expect you all to want to come with me."

A doctoral student scratched his head and said straightforwardly: "With Professor Chen, not only can you graduate this morning, but you can also learn a lot. Reliable people like you are hard to find."

This sentence seemed to open a conversation box, and the other people also echoed.

"No, my undergraduate roommate is studying for a Ph.D. at Wuhan University and has already met the requirements for graduation from the school, but because his tutor refused to let him go, he couldn't do it."

"That of yours is nothing. I have a junior student who only planned to study for a master's degree and then work. However, when he was in the first year of graduate school, he was forced by his tutor and tricked him into studying for a master's degree and a Ph.D. Now he can't leave. "

"Hey... it's hard to study, and even harder to graduate."

Several doctoral students were filled with emotion.

The most important thing about graduate school is not choosing a major or a school, but choosing a mentor!

For undergraduates, check the school, for master's degree, the major, and for doctoral degree, check the tutor.

Those who complain and criticize their mentors every day on Zhihu and Weibo platforms generally have not chosen well and have encountered free-range or captive mentors.

It's fine when you meet free-range ones, but it's miserable when you meet captive ones.

I treat you as a tool and don't teach you your real skills. Instead, I let you do basic things every day. I won't let you graduate after graduation. I'll wait for you to be stuck for seven or eight years and then let you go after you lose your use value.

Then you will find that after seven or eight years of studying for a Ph.D., you will find that you can only do basic operations such as washing utensils.

This is also the reason why they are willing to follow Chen Ping. At least Professor Chen is not blocked. As long as he meets the school's requirements, he will sign if he wants to graduate.

Everyone who is studying for a Ph.D. is either going to a university to graduate, or planning to go to a state-owned enterprise or a Fortune 500 company.

No one wants to remain a toolman without graduating.

Professor Chen seeks truth from facts and never takes names.

Nowadays, some professors in many universities name themselves as first or corresponding authors of many students.

There may be more than 80% of tutors who don't understand what their students are doing, and are even less accomplished than their students in some fields.

The students had falsified things and beautified the pictures, but the instructor couldn't tell.

I usually have a good drink with the big guys on the editorial board and the foundation committee, and just write casual articles.

In today's domestic academic world, there are many capable students, but capable and conscientious professors have become a rarity.

It's rare to meet people like Professor Chen Ping who are devoted to scientific research, so they naturally don't want to let go.

Chen Ping felt uncomfortable when he heard it, as if a bottle of vinegar had been spilled and sour.

Thinking of the fact that he refused to support Guanghua University for his own selfish desires, he almost delayed the future of these students.

Chen Ping gave himself a wake-up call in his mind. He should not indulge in the fame and fortune of scientific research in the future, but should maintain his original intention and concentrate on scientific research.

Afterwards, he cheered up and said loudly: "Since everyone has chosen to follow me, don't worry! Guanghua is willing to increase the original benefits by 30%!"

"Professor, is it true?" The two postdocs' eyes lit up, but the light in their eyes immediately dimmed, and they said dejectedly: "But...but there doesn't seem to be a postdoctoral mobile station in Guanghua, right? What will we do if we go there? ?”

"This... is indeed a problem." Chen Ping felt a headache and said bravely, "I will communicate with Principal Chen of Guanghua later. You don't have to worry."

If you take two professors to switch jobs to Guanghua, you may still have some trouble.

But if there are a few doctoral students and postdocs, with their status as Yangtze River scholars and the fact that Guanghua University’s optical cores are valued by the capital, it shouldn’t be difficult for the school to let them go.

Just when Chen Ping had a headache about this.

Guanghua University, training building.

In Dayu's studio.

Chen Hao stood up, looked at the people below, and smiled.

"Welcome all students to join Dayu Studio!"

This is yesterday's update, and there are still 2 chapters left... I've been in bad shape lately when I stay up late, so I have to code it out sooner rather than later, hey.
