Tech Hammer

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when I returned to the dormitory. As usual, no one was there at this time.

Two days have allowed Liu Cong to come out of his depression, and now it's time to have some fun.

As for Luo Xiang and Mr. Xuan, it goes without saying that they are most likely trapped in a trap woven by hormones and cannot extricate themselves.

After Ning Wei simply washed up and climbed into bed, Liu Cong happened to open the door and walk into the bedroom.

"Eh? Ningwei are you back?"

"Um?"

"What did you do today?"

"Go to Guiyuan Temple and meet a senior brother."

"Meet senior brother in Guiyuan Temple?"

While Liu Cong was still scratching his head, Ning Wei lay down on the bed and covered himself with a quilt: "Okay, I won't tell you anymore. Tomorrow is very important to me. I have to be energetic."

"Um?"

This time I felt like sleeping soundly.

…

Thursday, there are classes all day.

Ning Wei sat in the classroom as usual, listening carefully and feeling the knowledge gained after thinking in his brain.

After class, I calmly ate with the three people in my dormitory, watched my roommates make jokes, and then smiled brightly in return.

Until the second class in the afternoon, when class was about to end, Ning Wei was concentrating on his mobile phone in class.

"Nature" is updated every Thursday at about 9 a.m. London time. China time is seven hours ahead of London time. The library's last synchronized time was 16:17 p.m., and now the time has arrived.

Unfortunately, the library's internal journals are not yet synchronized.

Until the bell rings.

"Help me take the books and notes back to the dormitory." Ning Wei packed up his things and handed them to Luo Xiang.

"Where are you going?"

"The instructor asked me to apologize to that teacher Xue today."

"How about I accompany you? If you get up and punch the teacher again, I can still pull him back."

Ning Wei smiled and shook his head: "What's going on? I've already figured it out. I'm just apologizing. It's embarrassing when there are so many people."

"Okay, leave early and come back early. Saying sorry is not a big deal, a man can bend and stretch." Mr. Xuan on the side also came over and patted Ning Wei on the shoulder.

"Then he must be able to bear it." Ning Wei replied silently in his heart, but there was still a faint smile on his face.

…

"Director Li, I'm here."

"Okay, the time is right, let's go there."

"OK."

"By the way, take this bag of fruit on the table and give it to Teacher Xue later."

"Isn't that good, Director Li? Will it cost you money?"

"It's okay. This was given to me by someone else. Again, don't feel any pressure."

"Don't worry, Director Li, I've figured it out."

…

On the way to the research and recruitment office, Ning Wei checked his phone from time to time even though he was carrying fruit, and responded to Director Li's questions one after another.

"Ning Wei, what's going on in your dormitory about the news that Imperial College wants you to interview? You haven't even applied, why are Luo Xiang and the others talking about this everywhere?"

"Oh, that's it, Director Li. I received a phone call that day. The other person on the phone claimed to be a professor from Imperial College London and asked me if I was interested in applying for their master's degree in mathematics."

"Ah? Let me tell you, there are too many scammers online now. You should pay attention to screening and be vigilant."

"Don't worry, Director Li. I didn't promise him. If he asks me for a deposit or something, I promise to call the police as soon as possible."

"Well, it's good to have this awareness."

Li Qiushi found the simple conversation strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it.

Looking back later, he judged that Ning Wei was too calm and did not look like a young man who was forced to apologize despite being wronged. But at that time, he did not realize this at all.

Finally the two of them arrived in front of the building, it was already 4:38 pm.

Ning Wei took out his phone and refreshed it again, and finally it was updated.

He raised his eyes and looked at Li Qiushi who was walking in front of him. Ning Wei clicked on it with his mobile phone and got his wish. The first page of this issue was his paper. He clicked on the paper again from the table of contents.

(2021).

Ning Wei had a smile on his face, turned off his phone, put it in his pocket, quickened his pace, lowered his head, and followed Director Li step by step.

The entrance to the research and recruitment office.

Li Qiushi looked back at Ning Wei, who raised his head and smiled at the instructor.

Li Qiushi nodded, knocked on the ajar door, and then pushed it open.

There are many people in the office, and most of them are here. Xue Qingsong is sitting at his desk, sipping tea, and the corners of his eyes are a little purple.

Li Qiushi sighed in his heart.

Normally, there wouldn't be so many people in the office. The fact that there were so many people today was obviously intentional. Probably Lao Xue had said hello in advance, just to get Ning Wei to apologize to him when there were the most people.

Yes, Ning Wei held his breath in his heart. Teacher Xue who was punched probably also felt aggrieved.

Being a counselor is caught in the middle.

Looking back at Ning Wei, it was his students who gave him face. It was normal and he didn't leave in a hurry.

"Ha, Teacher Xue, I brought Ning Wei to see you." Li Qiushi walked into the office with a smile on his face.

Ning Wei followed Director Li quietly, carrying fruit, ignoring the glances thrown around him, until he stood in front of Xue Qingsong's desk, and then looked straight at the teacher with a smile on his face.

"Humph." Xue Qingsong shook his eyebrows and glanced at the young man in front of him from the corner of his eye.

Of course he was aggrieved.

He hadn't been beaten in many years, but he was punched by a student. He had a headache for two days, but the school persuaded him to make the matter as minor as possible.

After two days of rest, he held back a lot of words, just waiting to say sorry, and then burst out.

Li Qiushi reached out his hand inconspicuously and patted Ning Wei on the back.

Ning Wei understood and smiled sideways at Director Li, then took the fruit, put it on the table, and said softly: "Teacher Xue, thank you!"

"Huh?" Xue Qingsong was about to speak, but was stunned again. Thank you? Thank you for what? Shouldn't I be sorry?

"You thank me?"

"Yes, thank you very much. If it weren't for your suggestion, how could I have thought of submitting the paper to Nature magazine? I accidentally passed it, and today I have the first article in my life that is completely my own. Where’s the SCI?”

Ning Wei spoke in a very gentle tone, not loud, but enough for everyone in the office to hear. There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and there was no trace of warmth.

At this moment, everyone in the office was stunned, especially Xue Qingsong, who had not reacted at all.

"What did you just say? What did you thank me for?"

"I said, thank you, Teacher Xue, for your suggestion. Without you, my paper would not have been published on the first page of today's issue of Nature, and I would not have had the first SCI article in my life! So, Thank you, Teacher Xue, for the kindness you have given me by throwing away the materials, I will definitely repay you in the future."
