Genius Girlfriend

Vol 4 Chapter 169: Joint Research Group

When Lin Zhixia returned to the hotel room, Jiang Yubai was taking a bath. He did not close the bathroom door tightly. The water mist slipped out from the crack in the door. Lin Zhixia heard the sound of water hitting the floor and smelled the fragrance of the shower gel.

She was standing at the door of the bathroom, looking openly at the shower area.

Across a frosted glass baffle, Jiang Yubai's figure is dazzling and unclear. He turned off the shower, the sound of the water was still, and the mist was everywhere. He said her nickname: "Xia Xia?" Her voice was a little hoarse, which was particularly deceptive.

Lin Zhixia approached him silently, but he pulled her wrist into the round bathtub with rippling warm water. Her clothes were scattered on the ground, her mind was washed away by the waves, and she relaxed from head to toe. Jiang Yubai touched her shoulder to the side of her neck, the skin touched by her palm was white and soft, and her hands were not slippery. He clasped her waist tightly, then lowered his head to kiss her ear.

Lin Zhixia leaned on Jiang Yubai, grabbed his left hand, tapped his joints, traced his nails, and finally, she imitated his usual actions and dropped a kiss on the back of his hand, and he took his own The hand took away.

She immediately looked up at him.

He kissed her along the way, and rubbed her with his left hand for a while. She was so comfortable that her bones and hair were soft and almost melted in the water.

The surrounding water vapor is evaporating, the smoke waves are illusory, the lights are dim, and they seem to be in a mist. Jiang Yubai's urgent breathing was wrapped around her ears, and she implicitly stated: "It's past ten o'clock in the evening, I'm a little sleepy..."

Jiang Yubai got up and put on a bathrobe, then pulled out a bath towel and put it over Lin Zhixia's head. Lin Zhixia hooked his neck and was immediately picked up by him and went into the bedroom.

The bedside lamp exudes a gloomy luster, Lin Zhixia was rolling around on the bed alone with her arms around the pillow, Jiang Yubai dragged her pillow away, lay down beside her, and said for no reason: "You haven't sobered up yet. sleep early."

Lin Zhixia retorted: "I am sober." Then he said, "Alcohol has no effect on me."

Jiang Yubai turned off the bedside lamp, took off his bathrobe, and touched her hand. He grabbed her slender wrist, and she blurted out: "The communication between me and the senior sister was very smooth just now."

Jiang Yubai only asked: "What did you talk about?"

Lin Zhixia answered calmly: "Economic issues."

Jiang Yubai guessed: "Industry investment?"

Darkness enveloped the entire room, but a blue light flashed outside the window-a sudden strong thunderstorm swept the city, and the violent thunder startled Lin Zhixia. She threw herself into Jiang Yubai's arms and continued to describe: "No, what I was talking about with my senior sister was salary issues."

Jiang Yu took a white meal with her right hand around her waist. She was still saying: "You know, I sold software before, and my senior sister confiscated a penny. She joined our company this year and worked overtime every day. It’s so hard...In addition to overtime and equity incentives, she deserves more rewards."

Jiang Yubai did not believe that Luo Ying and Lin Zhixia discussed the "salary treatment" for half an hour, but Lin Zhixia sincerely suggested: "I want to set up a public award to commend the company's project based on the quantified performance evaluation results. The best technical team in the department will then distribute the bonus evenly to each employee according to the contribution of the team. After the spring and autumn recruitment this year, the company will have a large number of new recruits..."

At this point, she yawned: "I told Senior Sister that I am not a reliable person. Senior Sister must understand what I mean."

Jiang Yubai said unpredictably: "Not necessarily."

Lin Zhixia explained to herself: "I have limited energy alone, and I am not good at managing and operating companies. I have a prioritized knowledge of the truth, and a specialization in the field... The school sister also said that there is no perfect life, many people desire. Things are out of reach in this life."

Jiang Yubai tentatively tested her: "How is your senior sister's character?"

"It's a bit like my brother, they are both serious and responsible people." Lin Zhixia concluded. She became sleepy and unconscious, and her voice became softer and softer: "Brother's Weibo name is'Qiuqiu Promotion and Salary'."

"How about you?"

"Xiaxia is overwhelmed with thorns."

Jiang Yubai couldn't help but laugh: "It's rhyming."

Lin Zhixia was half dream and half awake, and murmured: "You can also choose a similar net name to correspond to "Overcoming the Thorns"..."

Jiang Yubai hugged her tighter: "Shield the wind and rain?"

Lin Zhixia said: "Jiangjiang shelters the wind and rain."

"Only for you," he added.

Lin Zhixia was already asleep. She stopped replying to him, and fell asleep completely.

The thunderstorms stopped in the second half of the night, the sky cleared the next day, and the air was exceptionally fresh.

Lin Zhixia and her colleagues set off again from the hotel for another well-known local university in Hong Kong. The negotiation meeting between the two parties started at 9 in the morning and lasted until 4:30 in the afternoon. The progress during the period was not smooth. Several professors hoped to train graduate students with Lin Zhixia, Tan Qianche or Gu Likai instead of establishing the so-called " Joint Research Group of Four Universities".

The joint research group does not represent a simple "strong merger". The division of labor, information transparency, funding sources and distribution are all difficult and complicated problems that need to be resolved. Even if Lin Zhixia proposed four proposals, her partners were not satisfied.

Lin Zhixia expressed understanding.

In the evening, she left the campus with her colleagues.

A girl chased out from an experimental building, ran towards Lin Zhixia, and shouted, "Professor Lin! Professor Lin!"

The voice was close to Lin Zeqiu, Lin Zeqiu became alert and couldn't help but glanced around, just to catch a glimpse of the girl-her face was round, her eyes were clear, her long hair was dyed dark brown, and she walked vigorously and had a clear goal. She stopped in front of Lin Zhixia, holding out a stack of heavy documents.

She breathed out and said, "My paper, Professor Lin, can you please..."

"Are you Chen Shihan?" Lin Zhixia actually recognized her, "You sent me an email the day before yesterday, and the attachment is a paper of yours. I have read it and it is well written. I am preparing to reply to you today."

Chen Shihan held the envelope in both hands and took the initiative to follow Lin Zhixia. She had just turned 21, a little younger than Lin Zhixia, her gestures were full of student spirit, and she was a little cautious. After she greeted everyone, and bowed to them, Tang Tingting smiled and asked, "Are you a student in this university?"

Chen Shihan described truthfully that she was about to graduate from her undergraduate degree. However, her Cantonese accent couldn't be changed. Except for Lin Zhixia, no one else understood her too much.

Lin Zhixia chatted with her in Cantonese for about ten minutes, and her mood was so good that she was about to explode. She has read all of Lin Zhixia's works and is extremely interested in the content of Lin Zhixia's research. But she never dared to contact Lin Zhixia.

Not long ago, she heard someone say that Lin Zhixia and her party were going to visit their university. She mustered the courage to send out an e-mail, and today she directly went to Lin Zhixia with her paper-Teacher Lin was as she expected. Beautiful and gentle, mature and stable, full of intellectual temperament of intellectuals.

She no longer concealed it, and said frankly: "Professor Lin, I want to be your student."

The university where Lin Zhixia works also recruits students in Hong Kong. The school adopts an "application interview" system. Students need to submit an application document and then pass the interview assessment. According to the arrangement of the university, this year's interview time is in late April.

So far, Lin Zhixia has contacted many students. In December last year, she appointed a master student and two direct doctoral students recommended by a foreign school, plus postdoctoral fellows transferred from other research groups, and the number of her research group soared instantly. If you add another Chen Shihan, she suspects that she doesn't have so much energy to take care of every student.

Lin Zhixia has strict requirements for herself, and "preaching the preaching and teaching profession to solve puzzles" is one of her professional standards. After thinking about it, she did not immediately agree to Chen Shihan, but encouraged her to apply for a few more schools and contact a few more tutors. However, Chen Shihan said that she only reported to Lin Zhixia's school.

There is nothing more than this.

Lin Zhixia was a little surprised.

Chen Shihan also said that she searched for Lin Zhixia's name on the "mentor evaluation website", and the students all praised Lin Zhixia to the point of being a fan. Lin Zhixia’s doctoral student Fang Yiwen published two papers in half a year, each of which was of high quality, coveted and admired. This fully shows that Lin Zhixia is not only an independent principal investigator (project leader), but also A dedicated mentor.

Lin Zhixia responded modestly: "I'm not that good, and I mainly rely on the students' hard work. The reputation of the teacher is not important, but the students' gain is important."

That being said, after separating from Chen Shihan, she immediately took out her mobile phone, opened the "Tutor Evaluation Network", and searched for her name "Lin Zhixia"-the mobile web page showed more than 20 comments.

The first comment received the most praise. The student said: "Ms. Lin is only in her twenties, but her knowledge reserve is like she is in her seventies. Don't dare to sign up because she is young. She is a good teacher with a strong sense of responsibility."

Another student said: "There is a senior Xu in her group. If Xu senior is in our group, she will be postponed in all likelihood. If she does not post a student, will she have a strong sense of responsibility or not?"

Lin Zhixia noticed that the online name of the student who proposed "Yanbi" was "Cui Xiaoming." She clicked on the avatar of "Cui Xiaoming" and saw that he had given Tan Qianche high scores several times. She was simply a loyal supporter of Teacher Tan Qianche.

Lin Zhixia locked the screen of the phone and put it back in her backpack.

"Do you want to accept Chen Shihan?" Tang Tingting asked her, "That kid is talented and careless, I'm pretty optimistic."

Lin Zhixia repeated her evaluation: "Talented and unintentional?"

Tang Tingting picked up the milk tea, took a sip, and said, "Like Duan Qiyan, I am really hopeless. I like this type."

Lin Zhixia chuckled lightly.

In the next few days, Lin Zhixia and his group rushed between the urban areas of Hong Kong. Lin Zhixia originally hoped to cooperate with two Hong Kong universities. However, she only managed one of them. One day before leaving Hong Kong, she signed a "joint research group" agreement with that university. Her undergraduate tutor Gu Likai is the head of the "joint research group", and Gu Likai is about to be an academician. Compared to Lin Zhixia, who was in his early twenties, Gu Likai's qualifications, age, connections, and foundation made everyone more at ease.

With the help of Gu Likai, the two top universities in Beijing were willing to join the research group. The sign of "Four Universities" was instantly launched, and Gu Likai's daily work became more and more busy.

In late April 2017, he deliberately took a few colleagues and students and flew from Beijing to the provincial capital to discuss the launch plan of the "joint research group" with Lin Zhixia.

Lin Zhixia and Tan Qianche are jointly responsible for the reception work this time. Although their fellow brothers and sisters teach in a university, they have not seen each other for a long time and do not usually chat. Lin Zhixia feels that the relationship between her and Tan Qianche can be described as "well water does not offend river water". Tan Qianche called her: "Little Junior Sister."

His words are intimate, his voice is cold and cold, and the contrast is strong, which makes people wonder.

Lin Zhixia can understand Tan Qianche. Because, last Friday, Lin Zhixia received an electronic wedding invitation from Senior Sister Wei Ruoxing.

Sister Wei Ruoxing is an associate professor at a well-known university in Shanghai. Since last year, she confirmed the relationship with another male teacher at the same school. The male teacher was young and promising, with extraordinary appearance, and a good match for the senior sister. He was both a "male talent and a female appearance" and a "female talent and male appearance".

And Tan Qianche is still me. Compared with the past, his acting style has hardly changed.

Lin Zhixia was still polite to Tan Qianche: "The dean and the deputy dean met with me for a meeting. The leaders attach great importance to the'Four-University Joint Research Group' and hope that you can bring students to join. You are cultivated by Teacher Gu. Students, the scientific research results have improved significantly in the past six months..."

"Do you want me to join?" Tan Qianche lit a cigarette.

They stood in a garden on the east side of the laboratory building, with a gentle spring breeze and a wide view. His laughter also smelled of smoke: "I guess you don't want to."

The garden is full of lush grass, verdant bamboos, pine and cypress forests, and beautiful scenery everywhere. Tan Qianche sat on a bench with the ashes of cigarettes falling between his fingers. He opened his mouth and said, "Teacher Gu is a researcher. The head of the group..."

"You are Teacher Gu's proud disciple," Lin Zhixia said following his instructions, "If you can enter the group, everyone will be happy, senior."

Tan Qianche pinched out the cigarette butt.

Lin Zhixia always kept a distance of one meter from him. He asked again: "Is the quality of the students you recruited this year decent? I don't have time to check for you this time."

"Thank you," Lin Zhixia said, "I can check it myself."

Tan Qianche glanced at his watch before throwing the cigarette into the trash can beside him. He stood up and walked a few steps, tall and long, with long steps.

Teacher Gu will arrive at the campus at about ten in the morning, and it is now 9:55. He is not waiting for anyone. Tan Qianche and Lin Zhixia walked to the school conference hall one after another. They waited for a few minutes, and Mr. Gu showed up with a group of colleagues and students. Among these people, Yang Shuwen was an old acquaintance of Lin Zhixia.

Yang Shuwen was in the crowd. When he saw Tan Qianche, his face showed a heartfelt smile, and he shouted: "Hey? Senior Tan!"

When he turned his head, Yang Shuwen glanced away and just happened to run into Lin Zhixia, with a warm smile freezing on the corner of his mouth. His heart fell into the ice cave, nodded mechanically, and called her: "Sister Lin."

Lin Zhixia smiled friendly.

Yang Shuwen went elsewhere as if hitting a ghost.

The school leaders gathered nearby, chatting with several other professors. After holding both hands, Teacher Gu walked to Yang Shuwen and said to him: "Your brother and sister have found teaching positions. If you want to stay in the academic world, you need to work harder."

Last September, Yang Shuwen graduated with Ph.D. and became a post-doctorate in Teacher Gu's group. He lacks interest in scientific research, so he chose to be a postdoc because he has not found a suitable job for the time being. He thought to himself, "It is a blessing in misfortune that I graduated with a Ph.D.", but he said: "Okay, Teacher Gu, I will work hard."

"Come on, senior." Lin Zhixia's voice came from behind him.

He didn't dare to turn his head and walked forward in a stride.

Lin Zhixia stayed in place and continued to chat with Gu Likai. Gu Likai not only mentioned the content of the agreement of the "four-university joint research group", but also asked about the current situation of Professor Shen Zhaohua. He said that the email he sent to Shen Zhaohua did not respond. When he called Shen Zhaohua's office, her students said that their teacher Shen took a long vacation.

Lin Zhixia told the truth: "I also heard about this. Mr. Shen took time off to recuperate and will not be able to return to school in the second half of the year. Mr. Shen's work is relatively hard and he often has to go out for inspections. I have known Mr. Shen for so many years. See her resting."

Gu Likai's expression was quite strange.

This is a little strange.

On the day Yang Shuwen bombed the laboratory, Gu Likai didn't look so worried. He didn't say much in front of Lin Zhixia, but Lin Zhixia was aware-Gu Likai and Shen Zhaohua were classmates in the university. He and Shen Zhaohua have known each other for decades, and they must know Shen Zhaohua better than Lin Zhixia.

In the afternoon, Lin Zhixia went to the Institute of Paleontology and found Professor He Yuanqian.

He Yuanqian is Shen Zhaohua's son-in-law and Shen Shixuan's father. But his attitude towards the world is more sincere and simple than his son Shen Jixuan.

Not long ago, Lin Zhixia had just sent a batch of amber to He Yuanqian's laboratory. He Yuanqian looked amiable when he saw Lin Zhixia. Lin Zhixia asked him directly: "How is Teacher Shen recently?"

"It's okay." He Yuanqian replied briefly.

Today is the open day of He Yuanqian's office. His students have just left. There are five or six disposable plastic paper cups left on the coffee table with pure water in them.

He Yuanqian picked up the paper cup and watered the bonsai by the window.

The setting sun was slanting, and the brilliant afterglow came to his feet. Both him and the flowerpot were plated with a thick golden orange. He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Mr. Lin, I have good news here. We use instruments to measure that batch of amber. There are new species in the amber. My students are collecting data and writing papers. I can see it. Thank you, Teacher Lin."

"You're welcome," Lin Zhixia turned back to the topic just now, "I haven't heard from Teacher Shen for a long time, and I haven't seen her in school. I heard people say that Teacher Shen is on vacation, and I still help her. Feel happy..."

He Yuanqian shook his right hand, and water spilled out of the cup. The branches and leaves of the bluegrass stretched out, green and dripping, and water drops splashed on the orchid petals.

The door of the office was wide open, and some colleagues from the Institute of Paleontology passed by. Everyone's footsteps were near and far away, but the interior of the office was quiet.

Lin Zhixia waited for a few seconds, but He Yuanqian still did not speak. She made up her mind and said: "Ms. Shen is my first tutor. She taught me to do research and brought me to university..."

"Mr. Shen also missed you very much," He Yuanqian finally told her frankly, "At the beginning of this year, she was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma and went to Beijing to see a doctor. If we find out early, surgery can solve the problem. Our family believes in science. Too sad... Teacher Shen doesn't want to spread the news of illness. It is common for people to have aging organs and illnesses after they are over seventy years old. Previously, she took time off for surgery, which made colleagues or students worry about the inconvenience."

Lin Zhixia asked, "What happened later?"

He Yuanqian remained silent.

Lin Zhixia's voice was lighter: "Can I go see Teacher Shen?"

He Yuanqian sighed in a low voice, "I'm going to send a letter to Teacher Shen."

He Yuanqian's sigh made Lin Zhixia understand that Teacher Shen's condition is not stable. Lin Zhixia's anxiety followed. She wanted to contact Shen Jixuan and ask him about the current situation of Teacher Shen.
