I Have A Super USB Drive

Chapter 23: Associate Professor Zheng Jian

   Chen Chen walked briskly on the forest trail on the campus.

   This is the beginning of spring, and the sky is like a light rain, and the fragrance of the earth is everywhere.

   Amidst the crowds, Chen Chen can always attract a lot of attention.

   Chen Chen's appearance is not outstanding, but the temperament that he exudes from the inside out makes him the most dazzling one in the crowd.

   is obviously just ordinary T-shirts and jeans, but in Chen Chen's gestures, he wears the feeling of a big star.

   Quietly exited the information page about Xia Yin's mentor, Chen Chen put down his phone, showing a pensive color.

   "A very scheming person..."

   This is Chen Chen's first voice to each other.

  In the information in the college, the other party's name is Zheng Jian, an associate professor-level figure, 38 years old this year, graduated from North American Salia University with a double Ph.D. in biochemistry and pharmacy.

   To obtain the title of associate professor at such a young age, the opponent's ability and skill are indispensable.

   Although this person's status in academia is far behind Wang Xi, he is still a big mountain for Chen Chen.

   Once a conflict occurs, Chen Chen has no chance of winning.

   Of course, that was before.

   Chen Chen checked Zheng Jian’s information on the Internet. The information at most only mentioned that his spouse passed away due to medulloblastoma a few years ago, and the two had no offspring.

   But only half a year later, Zheng Jian has another new love. The other party is still the daughter of a high-ranking official.

   Then there was a picture of a man sitting at a desk.

   The man’s cheeks were thin, he wore gold-wire glasses, and his eyes were a bit mean.

   In addition, behind the man is a neat bookshelf, and on the desk in front of him is a computer, a pen holder, a thermos cup, and a photo frame.

   The picture frame was vague, and it was barely visible that it was a woman in a white dress.

   The reason why these can be found is thanks to the highly developed Internet.

   Of course, it is limited to this.

   It is impossible to find more detailed information about the other party on the Internet. After all, the other party is not a star in the entertainment industry.

   Soon, Chen Chen came to the bottom of the office building No. 3.

   "Chen Chen!"

   Not far away, Xia Yin waved her hand and trot over, and she kept apologizing as soon as she met, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect it to be like this!"

   "It's okay, tell me what your mentor meant."

   Chen Chen waved his hand, and the two walked upstairs together.

   "My mentor hopes that you and I can give him the position of the corresponding author and the first work. In exchange, he can allow us to successfully obtain the qualifications for the research."

   Xia Yin said, "Of course, if you have other conditions, it's okay, but..."

   "What do you mean?" Chen Chen turned his head to look at Xia Yin.

   "The tutor is already preparing to apply to the school, let me break the rules for research..."

   Xia Yin was a little bit distressed, "I think it's pretty good, aren't we doing this experiment to guarantee the research? Now that the goal is achieved, the two papers are nothing, right?"

   Chen Chen shook his head without saying much.

   There is a thinking trap here.

   If these two papers are successfully published, Xia Yin and Chen Chen themselves will be eligible for research. Not only that, these two papers can bring huge dividends to their future.

   To exchange the position of the first work and the corresponding author for the bailout qualification is itself putting the cart before the horse.

   But Chen Chen didn't say anything against it, after all, this experiment was invested by Xia Yin.

   If I do not agree to transfer the right of the corresponding author, it will undoubtedly be offending Xia Yin's mentor and breaking Xia Yin's path to research.

   Of course, direct compromise is not Chen Chen’s character. If you want the corresponding author, you can, but the other party must pay a sufficient price.

   And listening to Xia Yin's tone, the other party wanted not only Chen Chen's corresponding author, but Xia Yin's work.

  According to international practice, the first author is the corresponding author by default.

   This situation is very common. Generally, a work is the person who has contributed to the paper. Unless the corresponding author is specifically marked, the default is the corresponding author.

   And this Professor Zheng is exactly where he wants to be an absolute master.

   Seeing Chen Chen not speaking, Xia Yin also fell silent.

   The two of them went all the way to the fifth floor and came to the door of Teacher Xia Yin's office.

   "Chen Chen, in the past three months, I have already seen your ability in my eyes, it is really not good, you just reject him..."

   As if plucking up courage, Xia Yin suddenly said such a sentence.

   "Don't worry, I know it."

   Chen Chen shook his head, suddenly picked up the phone, and said to Xia Yin, "By the way, who is the woman on your tutor's desk?"

   "Huh?" Xia Yin tilted her head and looked, "Well, this is his dead ex-wife, what's wrong?"

   "Oh, it's okay."

   Chen Chen nodded, turned around and knocked on the office door.

   "Please come in."

   A somewhat hoarse voice came out, and Chen Chen opened the office door and walked in.

   This is a 15 square meter office.

   Just like the picture I saw on the Internet, the office furnishings are exactly the same, even the position of the pen holder and the photo frame on the desk is exactly the same.

   "Hello Professor Zheng."

   After looking up, Chen Chen retracted his gaze and nodded to the middle-aged man in front of him.

   "Oh, you're the Chen Chen Xiaoyin said, come on, please sit down, please!"

   Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man in front of him actually stood up and shook hands with Chen Chen enthusiastically.

   Looking at Chen Chen's somewhat flattered expression, the middle-aged man couldn't help but chuckle, "Xiaoyin, you go back first, I want to have a good chat with classmate Chen Chen."

   "Okay." Xia Yin nodded, winked at Chen Chen, turned and left the office.

   Until Xia Yin went out and closed the door of the office, the middle-aged man looked upright.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zheng Jian. I am Xiaoyin’s mentor. I heard Xiaoyin say that it took you only three months to complete a very innovative pilot project. It’s not easy. ."

   "Fortunately, it's not all my credit. Xia Yin and my other roommate also helped a lot."

   Chen Chen sat on the sofa, and looked at the office while answering.

   Zheng Jian’s office is not big, except for a desk and a bookshelf behind, there is only a mahogany pendulum clock at the entrance.

   This pendulum clock is a grandfather clock. It is two meters high. The pendulum below is golden yellow. Through the transparent glass, you can see it swinging constantly. It looks very luxurious.

   Chen Chen showed a look of interest, he stood up and walked to the pendulum clock, looking carefully.

   "Why, are you interested in my pendulum clock?" Zheng Jian smiled.

   "Professor Zheng, is this pendulum clock from the Netherlands?" Chen Chen asked rhetorically.

   "Hey, Chen Chen has so much research on pendulum clocks?"

   Zheng Jian said in surprise, "Yes, this pendulum clock from UU Reading www.uukahnshu.com is indeed imported from Holland. I looked good, so I put it here."

   "The pendulum clock made in the Netherlands has the most classical charm, but unfortunately it has not been accurate enough and often needs to be adjusted."

   Chen Chen nodded, "Professor Zheng, do you know what time it is?"

   "Now..." Zheng Jian looked at the time on the clock, "Isn't it 9:35 in the morning?"

   "But it's 9:40 on my phone."

   Chen Chen said, he opened the protective case of the table clock and set the time back five minutes.

   Zheng Jian frowned, but in the end he said nothing.

   "Now, the time is right."

   Chen Chen smiled, turned around and sat back on the sofa.

   It seemed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. Zheng Jian glanced at the pendulum clock before he said, "Chen Chen, let's get straight to the point."

   Chen Chen suddenly appeared listening.

   "You know, Xia Yin is my student, and I have every reason to be responsible for the experiment she invested in."

Zheng Jianzheng is good at temptation, "However, I will not treat you badly for the sake of your hard work. After all, I am very satisfied with this experiment. Your abilities and ideas are even more amazing. I am very optimistic about you. Willing to invest in you."

   Chen Chen did not speak, but his expression seemed to have begun to waver.

   "Well, when you are in your junior year, choose me to be your tutor, I will directly apply for the place of undergraduate study in our school, and I will try to use you in future projects and topics!"

   Zheng Jian strikes while the iron is hot, "Besides, I can also help you fight for scholarships and other things, and I only have one condition, that is..."

   "For this experimental paper, you must give up the signature of the corresponding author!"
