"…" Lu Zhou did not answer.
"I can understand. You must have your own thoughts," said Teacher Liu with a smile. He then added, "Just like us researchers, there are always one or two people in a research team who are just trying to get by. These people are endless."
"Teacher, you have a good mentality," said Lu Zhou with a smile.
"It's not that I have a good mentality," said Teacher Liu as he waved his hand and said, "It's just that I've seen it all."
He reached out his hand and patted Lu Zhou's shoulder. He then said, "You have to understand that our only goal is to get into the first level of the country. It might seem unfair to those who are capable to do more work, but it's actually a form of training. "
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and nodded. "Okay, I understand. I can do the mathematical modeling and thesis, but I have a condition."
"Go ahead," said Teacher Liu with a smile.
"In the future, I want to reduce the number of training sessions. Instead, I want to train in private and do it before the exam," said Lu Zhou. He then paused for a second and said, "This way, I can be more flexible in terms of training schedule."
This kind of training where everyone was gathered together was a waste of time.
Lu Zhou preferred to follow his own pace.
"No problem, that's what I was planning to do," said Liu Xiangping with a smile.
The two returned to the computer room.
In the end, Lu Zhou finished writing the thesis.
After all, he had the experience of writing an SCI thesis. In order to complete the system's mission, he had done a lot of preparation. Just from writing a thesis alone, not to mention Lin Yuxiang, who was a layman, even Wang Xiaodong, who was one year older than him, could not compare to him.
Of course, today was only training. There was no need to carefully polish the thesis according to the competition standards. A thesis that took up ten to twenty pages was not something that could be done in a day.
Lu Zhou followed the mathematical modeling thesis format and wrote the key parts such as "model hypothesis" and "problem analysis". As for the parts that were not very important, after writing the title, he omitted the specific content.
Lin Yuxiang looked at the completed thesis and expressed her gratitude to Lu Zhou. Then, she pitifully expressed that she had caused everyone trouble today. She said she was really sorry and that she would work hard to catch up to everyone …
Lu Zhou smiled and didn't say anything, but he sighed in his heart.
Take care of yourself!
After disbanding, Lu Zhou declined Lin Yuxiang's invitation to eat with him.
He put on his laptop bag and went to the library. He started to work on his thesis.
Chen Yushan sat next to him. Other than occasionally asking him a question or two, she spent most of her time studying. Although she was curious as to why he was writing a computer science thesis, she did not ask.
Lu Zhou leaned on the chair and stretched his arms. He was about to go to the bathroom when his phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
Lu Zhou picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Fat Wu. He stood up and quickly walked to the bathroom.
Lu Zhou picked up the phone and placed it next to his ear. He leaned against the window and spoke.
"Hello, what's up?"
"It's me, Wu Dahai. Are you free this week?"
Fat Wu's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone. It was obvious that his part-time job was lacking.
Even though he was also in his third year, this guy was not in a hurry to take the postgraduate entrance exam. He was not busy looking for a job either. He was busy making money all day long. If he did not have a student ID, Lu Zhou would have doubted if he was even a student at Jin Ling University.
"What kind of job?" asked Lu Zhou.
Although he was very busy right now, if the salary was high, he would consider it.
However, he knew that the possibility was very small.
"A new Jin Ling real estate developer is hiring flyers. 20 yuan an hour. They need people every Sunday. Do you want to come?" asked Wu Dahai.
"… I'm a bit busy these days, I'll pass." Although he was tempted, Lu Zhou still had nine theses to write. He politely declined.
"That's fine, I'll go ask someone else," said Fat Wu. He did not care and laughed heartily. "Go do what you need to do."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou went to the bathroom and returned to the library.
When he returned to his seat, he discovered that there was a piece of draft paper on top of his keyboard. Chen Yushan, who had already moved a chair to the side, was looking at him expectantly. When Lu Zhou saw her expression, he could not help but smile and shake his head. He did not say anything as he picked up his pen and began to solve the problem.
Finding the general solution of a second-order differential equation with constant coefficients was also a difficult problem in advanced mathematics. Since it could be combined with trigonometric functions, integral derivations, and many other knowledge points, it was usually considered as the second to last or the last question to be examined.
However, for Lu Zhou, it was not difficult at all.
He was not bragging, but there were no college-level advanced mathematics problems that could baffle him.
Chen Yushan looked at Lu Zhou and asked quietly, "Who called you just now?"
"A senior, he took me on a part-time job," replied Lu Zhou casually.
"You're still doing part-time jobs?" Chen Yushan's eyes widened in surprise. She whispered, "But I see you in the library all day …"
"I haven't been doing much lately. Last time, I only went at night …" Lu Zhou paused for a second and added, "It's sorting packages."
"Why do you have to emphasize that?" asked Chen Yushan curiously.
"Nothing … I solved it."
Lu Zhou said as he handed over the draft paper. From reading to solving the problem, it took less than three minutes. It was quite fast. With the difficulty of this problem, it was not an exaggeration for an average person to be stuck for half an hour.
Chen Yushan took the draft paper and asked quietly, "Ah, thank you … Do you not have enough money to live on?"
"… Sort of," replied Lu Zhou casually.
I don't think I've ever done that, right?
Chen Yushan nodded thoughtfully. After a while, she said, "Then … I also have a part-time job here. It might be easier than sorting packages. Do you want it?"
Lu Zhou stopped typing and looked at her strangely as he said, "Don't tell me I'm teaching you math?"
"My math … Is it that bad?!" Chen Yushan's eyes widened. She wanted to raise her voice, but she suddenly remembered that she was still in the library. She gritted her teeth and lowered her voice, "Although it's also tutoring, it's not for me … I have a cousin who's in high school. She's also from Jin Ling City. Her home isn't too far from our campus. She's about to enter her second year of high school, but her grades can't keep up at all, especially in math. My auntie is worried sick about her studies, so she asked me to find her a tutor. It would be best if her math grades are really good … "
Chen Yushan looked at Lu Zhou embarrassedly and said, "I originally wanted to ask my roommate, but she also wants to take the master's exam, so she doesn't have time. Also, it's been so many years, we've forgotten most of our high school knowledge. I thought that since you look pretty harmless, I wanted to ask if you have time during the summer … "
Lu Zhou:???
What do you mean harmless? You don't have to beat around the bush to compliment me, right?
Seeing how Lu Zhou did not speak, Chen Yushan quietly said, "You don't have time? Then I'll ask someone else … "
"How much?" asked Lu Zhou. He decided to ask about the price first before considering if he should agree.
Originally, he wanted to find a part-time job during the summer to earn some living expenses. Working for Fat Wu or Chen Yushan seemed to be the same.
Chen Yushan thought for a bit and said, "200 yuan per hour, travel expenses will be reimbursed. Starting from July, you can go every Saturday and Sunday."
"How much???"
"200 yuan per hour … What's wrong?"
After listening to her, Lu Zhou placed his hands on the keyboard and went silent for a long time.
"Is it too little?" Chen Yushan saw that he did not speak and thought that it was too little. She asked, "How about I ask my auntie …"
"No need to ask," said Lu Zhou as he shook his head. "Deal."
"Then why do you look so serious? I thought it was too little," said Chen Yushan as she sighed in relief and rolled her eyes at Lu Zhou.
