Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Professor Leo is a professor who grew up according to the American stereotype of professors.

His head is disheveled, like Einstein, the most familiar scholar in the United States, but God is pitiful, except for Einstein, there are very few professors with disheveled hair. It's short, not to mention that many professors are Mediterranean with sparse heads.

In addition to being slovenly, Professor Leo's body shape is also grown according to the requirements of Americans for scholars. He is slender, not particularly tall, but very thin. His voice is also thin and long, not sharp, but it is unavoidable. Feeling nervous.

In addition, Professor Leo is not very good at making eye contact with others, even the sincere eyes of the salesmen. He will deliberately avoid other people's eyes, or simply lower his head and talk without looking at each other.

Every time I see Professor Leo, Corbett doesn't believe that this is the famous mean professor, but every time the conversation is halfway through, Corbett will believe it.

However, compared to other well-known professors, this tenured professor at the University of Chicago has a quality that ordinary people can't match. At the same time, it is also one of the qualities of a professor in people's impression. He has extremely high work efficiency.

The same unpublished book, given to other professors at the University of Chicago, may take ten days and a half months to finish reading, but given to Professor Leo, he will give an evaluation within two days at most.

Of course, the evaluation he gave was so horrible that the publisher didn't want to see it.

What is frustrating is that Professor Leo's evaluation is often recognized by the academic community. Sometimes, Professor Leo even publishes papers based on this, and academic monographs that are fortunate to be valued by Professor Leo often sell very well, almost instantly. It will be selected by universities across the country, and it will not be difficult to sell more than 10,000.

Despite such benefits, under normal circumstances, Corbett would not be willing to try his luck with this vicious professor.

Now it is an extraordinary situation.

Corbett anxiously handed the white book printed with "Genomics" to Professor Leo, saying: "This is a biological work that our publishing house is preparing to publish recently. The author is..."

"Isn't there a name on the cover? You don't need to say any more, I know, you are Norton Publishing, aren't you? Just come back to me in two days." Leo lowered his head, as if looking at his toes shyly , but he was not polite at all.

"My contact information is written on the inside cover. If you have any questions, just contact me." Colbert bent down and couldn't see Professor Leo's eyes.

"Got it, let's go." Leo still looked down at his toes.

"Okay, then I will meet you in your office the day after tomorrow..."

"Let's go, let's go." Leo's attitude was absolutely unfriendly, and his expressions and movements were shy.

Corbett wanted to say something, but was forcibly pulled away by Kerwin.

Corbett looked back at Leo step by step and turned from being shy to holding his chest high until he was stopped by a student again.

"A lifeless student." Kerwin said, "If I study here, I will definitely avoid him. If this guy is a truck driver, he must be a serial killer. He is now a professor of biology. Be a big, cult leader or something."

"How can he be the leader of a cult like this?" As soon as Corbett finished speaking, the students in front of Leo cheered.

Several students surrounded Professor Leo,

Cheering loudly attracted more students, all of whom smiled happily, including a few young and beautiful golden girls. As for Professor Leo himself, he still lowered his head shyly and looked at the students on his toes. look.

"This guy... what's going on in the heads of college students these days? What are you cheering around this guy?" Corbett couldn't understand.

"We don't want to kiss his ass yet." Kerwin shrugged and said, "Let's visit some professors while it's still early."

While speaking, he selected a few professor addresses from the list that he hadn't visited before.

The scale of the University of Chicago is huge, the professors have a heavy workload, and there will always be tenured professors that you are too busy to meet.

Compared with the Ivy League universities, the University of Chicago, which is also a private university, is not well-known in China, but its strength is unquestionable. There are 91 Nobel Prize winners studying or working at the University of Chicago, including 4 Chinese Nobel Prize winners. related. Yang Zhenning, Li Zhengdao, and Cui Qi all obtained their Ph.D.s in physics at the University of Chicago. Taiwan-Taiwanese Li Yuanzhe completed his career promotion from assistant professor to professor at the University of Chicago. He later went to California Berkeley and became a U.S. citizen , and then after winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, he gave up his American citizenship and became the president of the Academia Sinica in Taiwan.

At the same time, the University of Chicago Press is also one of the three largest university presses in the United States. Kerrwyn and Corbett are therefore very careful. When choosing professors to visit, they also deliberately look for those who are not closely related to the University of Chicago Press. professor.

However, as was the case with them before, few professors are willing to take the time to read a new book.

After a busy day, Kerrwin and Corbett sat in the fast food restaurant with nothing.

"It's good to have a day off tomorrow, the salad here is terrible." Kerwin chewed like a cow.

"You want to wait for Professor Leo's conclusion?" Corbett ate the hamburger, and glanced at Kerwin's salad with disgust.

"Of course. Many people like to read Professor Leo's evaluation. We are looking for other professors to read the book. By the time they finish reading, Leo's evaluation will have already come out. Why don't we wait until we get Leo's evaluation and give it to other professors?" people."

"What if Leo gets a bad review."

"No matter how bad the evaluation is, there is something to look at. If there is no one, it is Daniel's problem." Kerwin said indifferently: "Leo is a celebrity at the University of Chicago, and the professors trust his judgment, so, if Something went wrong and it was Daniel's fault, not ours."

"Okay, take a day off until we get Leo's evaluation. I hope not... waiter, I want a hamburger, a little more cheese, and another cup of coffee for me." Corbett patted his stomach , tested the capacity, and changed the request: "Two burgers are ready, more ketchup, I want to eat some vegetables, healthy diet..."

"Two more burgers and more ketchup," the waiter repeated.

"And cheese, put more cheese."

"Do you want more cheese or ketchup?"

"More cheese and more ketchup, oh, and more peanut butter, I like peanut butter," Corbett said emphatically.

The waiter pouted: "Sir, that's a hamburger, not a truck."

"Okay, put more cheese." Corbett was disappointed, and said, "We should change to another store."

"You say that every time." Kerwin ignored Corbett.

The waiter brought over the hamburger after a while, and then asked, "Which of you is Corbett? A professor Leo left a message."

"Professor Leo from the University of Chicago?" Corbett couldn't care less about the hamburger.

"I don't know, he left a message, do you want to listen?" The waiter looked at him blankly.

"certainly."

"Come to my office immediately." The waiter left after speaking.

Corbett held her back: "That's it?"

"that's it."

"How does he know we're here?"

The waiter shrugged, said "I don't care at all", and walked away wagging his tail.

"Corbert, put down your hamburger, we have to go over quickly." Kerwin wiped his mouth and stood up, urging: "Leo must have known we are here through someone from the University of Chicago Press, because all publishing Everyone at the University of Chicago Press is eating here, and Leo came to us, and the University of Chicago Press must be wondering why."

"Why?" Corbett was still hesitating between the two burgers.

Kerwin said angrily, "Why do you say?"

"Chinese books?"

"Nonsense." Kerwin dropped a few green notes and dragged Corbett away.

...

In Professor Leo's office, Leo is sitting on a globe, circling crazily.

When he is excited, when he is depressed, and when he is busy, he likes to sit on the globe. The University of Chicago specially made him a strong and huge globe, which is enough to support a strong professor holding a The petite professor turns on it.

Although he had never swung the globe to its fullest potential, Professor Leo loved it, and spent eighteen hours a day at school because of it.

At this moment, Professor Leo was holding the thick white copy, and kept nodding while reading: "That's it, it's the same as I thought, that's right..."
