From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 22 ask for advice
Ok?
Or not?

Lin Mo frowned and looked at the paper he wrote in front of him.

This is already the 53rd time he has revised the paper, but it still hasn't been approved by the system.

Lin Mo flipped through the mission description again, reading it again and again, and felt that there was nothing wrong with him.

Lin Mo felt that he had done it comprehensively, and the paper contained his own understanding and insights, but why couldn't he complete it?
Are the system’s standards for papers too high?

You might as well ask me to publish it in any journal at any level. It feels simpler than this.

Lin Mo scratched his head, thought for a while, picked up the paper and walked out of the library.

"Teacher Zhang, are you busy?"

After a while, Lin Mo appeared in Zhang Qihua's office.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Qihua, who was preparing for lessons, raised his head from his desk.

"Oh, Lin Mo, why are you here?"

"Teacher Zhang, I recently wrote a paper and I'm a little unsure. Can you help me take a look?"

Lin Mo didn't show any politeness and went straight to the point.

"Oh?"

Zhang Qihua was a little surprised. He took the paper handed over by Lin Mo and started to read it.

After a long time, Zhang Qihua raised his head.

"This...you wrote this?"

"It seems that you haven't learned these geometric measures, harmonic analysis, ergodic theory, differential manifolds... these... these, right?"

"When I was reviewing and preparing for the exam, I read books in the library and studied some on my own."

Lin Mo found a reason.

"Self-study?"

Lin Mo clearly saw Zhang Qihua's pupils slightly dilating.

"Do you have this kind of understanding through self-study?"

"Genius, genius! I knew it, Lin Mo, I was right about you! You really have extraordinary talent in mathematics!"

"Uh……"

Lin Mo opened his mouth and scratched his head in embarrassment. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

You can't tell Zhang Qihua that he has a system.

Lin Mo has a reputation for being self-aware. He is not a genius at all, and he has no talent in mathematics. If he had not been systematic and brave enough, he would not have been able to achieve this step.

So Lin Mo felt a little ashamed of Zhang Qihua's praise.

"Teacher Zhang, please help me read this paper and correct it."

"Well, this paper is very well written. I think it's ready for publication."

"I didn't expect you, Lin Mo, to be able to write such a paper before you are a graduate student. The quality of this paper is enough to be used as a graduate thesis. It's not bad."

Lin Mo came to Zhang Qihua to ask him to find a problem, not to listen to compliments. Seeing that Zhang Qihua was getting more and more arrogant, Lin Mo quickly interrupted.

"However, Mr. Zhang, I always feel that there is still something wrong with this thesis, but I can't tell it for a while, so I would like to ask you to give me some pointers."

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qihua put away the smile on his face and read the paper seriously again.

Although Zhang Qihua does not have a high professional title and is only an associate professor in his forties, he has devoted himself to teaching and has taught for more than ten years. This level is very good.

After a while, Zhang Qihua put down the paper.

Lin Mo looked at him expectantly.

"Well, if you want to talk about problems, there are indeed some..." "This paper of yours is an introduction. It can be seen that it is a summary of your own knowledge system. It contains your own understanding. From this aspect, there is nothing wrong with this paper, but..."

Lin Mo pricked up his ears, waiting for Zhang Qihua's next words.

"But... although your thesis is an overview article, an overview essay does not mean that you must ask for perfection. The knowledge is there. In fact, everyone knows that what you want to express is your own point of view... …so……"

"Also... as a paper, it still needs to have key points. Even if it is an overview paper, it should also have some focus. The key points should be highlighted. Your understanding and ideas should be fully integrated and your views should be clear. ……want……"

While listening, Lin Mo compared it with his own thesis, thinking about the questions Zhang Qihua pointed out.

After Zhang Qihua's reminder, Lin Mo discovered some of his previous blind spots, some problems that he was not aware of, and understood the shortcomings in his paper.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Lin Mo's thank you was quite sincere.

"You're welcome, you are my student, I am very happy that you can come to me."

Seeing Lin Mo's appearance, Zhang Qihua was very happy.

What a good student this is. He must be gifted and gifted, must work hard, must be knowledgeable, and must be polite and courteous. How can Tunghai University look down on such a student?
Zhang Qihua really wanted to ask the teachers at Tunghai University, are you blind?

But this is Zhang Qihua looking at people through a filter, and he loves everything.

"Teacher Zhang, I'm going to revise the paper first."

After getting the answer he wanted, Lin Mo couldn't wait to go back and revise the paper.

"Well, let's go."

"That's right, wait a minute."

Zhang Qihua stopped Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo, the thesis is finished, you can bring it to me to have a look, and I will help you find a journal to publish it."

"You have worked very hard, and the teacher is very pleased, but you can't just ignore your studies. You should also pay more attention to your body."

With that said, Zhang Qihua took out an envelope from the drawer and stuffed it into Lin Mo's hand.

"Don't be harsh on yourself in life. If it's not enough, remember to tell the teacher."

Lin Mo pinched the thickness of the envelope and knew that there was about 1000 yuan in it.

Lin Mo couldn't help but be moved in his heart.

What a teacher.

Lin Mo wanted to refuse, but thinking about it, because he had returned the money to Xia Jingjing before, and the money from station D had not arrived yet, so he could only buy white rice in the cafeteria these days because of his shyness. He ate the pickles, almost feeling like a bird in his mouth, but Lin Mo couldn't open his mouth to refuse.

I can only swear silently in my heart that I will repay Zhang Qihua well in the future.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

Lin Mo thanked him again, and then left with the paper in his arms.

Coming out of Zhang Qihua's office, Lin Mo went straight to the library.

Lin Mo began to make drastic revisions to the paper.

Zhang Qihua's words made Lin Mo enlightened and he realized his shortcomings.

Although I now have enough knowledge reserves because of the help of the system, but I still lack a lot of experience in terms of experience.

If it weren't for Zhang Qihua's suggestion, Lin Mo would not be aware of his own problems in some aspects.

Following Zhang Qihua's guidance, Lin Mo began to strive for excellence and polished his thesis.

In the end, after many deletions and revisions, Lin Mo finally formed a thesis with his own understanding and thinking.

Lin Mo looked at it again and again, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Ding, the host has completed the subject promotion task, and the task reward is: Mathematics is promoted to the proficiency level."
