I want all of them!
Professor Forster obviously wanted to say this. Also, according to the unspoken rules of academia, the corresponding author and first author belonged to him. Why would his students trade with him?
Even if the first author didn't put his name on the thesis, he would give it to the students who were worthy of his investment.
Not to mention, Lu Zhou had such excellent scientific research manpower, so he didn't want to let go of him.
However …
"… You got what you wanted."
Professor Forster went silent for a long time before he picked up the pen and signed his name on the graduation application.
When he wrote down the last letter, he looked at Xiao Tong, who was standing across the desk. He smiled and asked, "Do you need a recommendation letter?"
"If you can, thank you."
Naturally, no one would reject a recommendation letter. Even though her brother helped her get a recommendation letter for her master's degree, a recommendation letter for a PhD was more likely to come from her teacher.
Even though it didn't matter.
Xiao Tong bowed politely and smiled as she took the graduation application.
She had learned a lot from this professor during her two and a half years as a master's student.
Of course, this was an equivalent exchange.
Professor Forster didn't give her these things to teach her, he just wanted her to help him "produce" more theses.
Now that he had gotten his hands on a piece of Econometrica, it was not a loss no matter how he thought about it.
After all, even he wouldn't be able to write a thesis without at least a year or two of preparation time …
Professor Forster had a relaxed smile on his face. He leaned back in his office chair and spoke casually.
"You're welcome, I've taught you for three years. I wish you a smooth academic journey.
"If you've decided on which university and which supervisor you're going to study with, remember to let me know. I'll send you a recommendation letter."
This was the wisest choice.
If he couldn't keep her, he couldn't offend her. Even if he was extremely unwilling to let go, when he really had no choice but to let go, he might as well do him a favor at little cost. It would still be a little more satisfying.
After struggling in this vanity fair for so many years, he had long understood that it didn't matter who he offended, and who he absolutely couldn't offend.
For example, the person in front of him was probably the latter.
He had a premonition that he would see this student again.
There might even be a chance to work together.
Professor Forster looked at the closed office door and sighed as he played with his fountain pen.
"This damn Lu Zhou … F * ck, why don't I have a relative who has won a Nobel Prize?"
"If I did … I wouldn't have to fret about the RAS's research fund!"
He clicked his tongue, shook his head, and threw the pen cap into the pen holder.
The sun really rose from the west.
He actually began to envy a master's student …
…
I'm going to graduate!
Finally!
So happy!
After returning to the dormitory, Xiaotong jumped up in joy and excitedly threw herself on the bed. She took out her phone and video-called Lu Zhou on the other side of the world.
As soon as the call was connected, she couldn't wait to speak.
"Brother! I graduated! Hahaha, thank you so much! "
Lu Zhou listened to the excited voice on the other end of the phone and smiled.
"You got your graduation certificate?"
"Yeah!" Xiaotong got up from her bed and sat up straight. She hugged her pillow and spent around two minutes telling Lu Zhou about how she handled this matter.
After listening to Xiaotong's explanation, Lu Zhou nodded.
"You've handled this matter well."
"I hope you remember one thing. Whether it's a theoretical research or an applied research field, wherever there are people, there will be a vanity fair. But there's one thing that doesn't change. Gold that can truly shine will never be buried. "
Xiaotong nodded thoughtfully.
"I understand."
"That's good. If you encounter any problems in the future, you still have me." Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Oh yeah, I want to tell you something. If you plan on coming back for Chinese New Year this year, just go back to Jiangling. I'm going to go back in the middle of the month. I'm afraid no one in Jinling will pick you up. "
Xiaotong smiled and said, "Sure, I haven't been back in a long time."
"That's it then, talk to you later."
Lu Zhou was about to hang up the phone, but Xiaotong's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Wait a second."
"What else?"
"If it was you, what would you do?"
"Stop me from graduating?" Lu Zhou rubbed his chin and thought for a while. "This is a bit difficult … I've never worried about graduation."
When Lu Zhou was a master's student, Professor Lu Zhou showed his love for talent more than once. He wanted to keep Lu Zhou for three years, but in the end, he let Lu Zhou go. Professor Deligne had allowed him to do whatever he wanted ever since he entered the university. He even let him choose the topic for his graduation thesis.
When a person was good enough, the supervisor wouldn't want to let him go.
However, it turned out that a truly talented person couldn't be kept by the supervisor …
Xiaotong: "…"
She felt like she shouldn't have given this guy a chance to be pretentious …
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou put his phone back in his pocket.
Luo Wenxuan walked next to him and asked casually.
"Your sister?"
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Yeah, she's studying economics at Oxford University."
Luo Wenxuan's interest was piqued.
"Introduce me to her?"
"F * ck off."
Luo Wenxuan felt a murderous aura and shivered. He quickly waved his hand and explained.
"F * ck, what are you thinking? I've already said that my heart belongs to someone. I've turned over a new leaf. I really just want to get to know her … Wait, wait, don't go yet. Don't you want to take a look at the idea I told you about last time?"
Seeing that Lu Zhou was about to leave, he quickly rushed forward and stuffed the printed thesis in front of Lu Zhou.
"Just read it for me, I won't put your name on it!"
Lu Zhou glanced at the title from the corner of his eyes and almost laughed out loud.
[Based on the time travel theory in the Minkowski space …]
"If this thing of yours is on the PRL, I'll eat my desk."
Luo Wenxuan coughed and scratched the back of his head.
"Don't say that, what if it's on, wouldn't you be embarrassed?"
Lu Zhou shook his head and ignored him. He walked toward his office.
However, just as he walked through the corridor, he saw a fashionable girl with bangs standing at the door of his office. She was at least a 7 out of 10, and she was nervously looking in the direction of the window.
Luo Wenxuan's eyes lit up when he noticed this beautiful girl. He put on a charming smile and greeted her.
"Are you looking for Professor Lu?"
"Yeah …" The girl nodded nervously. She looked away from Luo Wenxuan and suddenly noticed Lu Zhou standing behind him. Her eyes suddenly lit up. "Are you Professor Lu?"
Lu Zhou nodded and spoke concisely.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Um … Can I talk to you?" The lady hesitated a little and looked at Luo Wenxuan standing next to her. She said with a little embarrassment.
"You guys talk, I'm just passing by." Luo Wenxuan stuffed the thesis in his hand into Lu Zhou's hand and smiled. He then turned around and walked away while humming a tune.
Lu Zhou looked at the guy's back. He then looked at the nervous girl's face.
"Then come in and talk."
Because it was still a holiday, there was no one in the office.
Lu Zhou opened the office door and threw the stack of theses on the coffee table. He then sat down at his desk.
Lu Zhou looked at the girl who followed him into the office and spoke.
"Feel free to sit down, if you have anything to say, just say it."
The girl hesitated for a bit. She didn't sit down on the sofa. Instead, she bit her lip and walked toward his desk.
"Um … Professor, I have something to ask of you."
Lu Zhou: "No problem, if it's an academic matter, I'm happy to help you. Anything other than exams, you can tell me."
"Um … It's exams. I've been really busy this semester. I had to prepare for the CET-6 English Test and the Student Union, so … I didn't have time to study, "said the girl. She took half a step forward and said in a pleading tone," Please, Professor, please don't let me fail. I'll do anything you want me to do. "
If I fail, I won't be able to get a scholarship.
It would also affect my graduate school recommendation.
Therefore, it wasn't impossible for him to make a little sacrifice …
When the girl saw Lu Zhou stand up from his desk, she nervously clenched her fists.
Even though she was prepared.
This was her first time doing something like this, so she wasn't used to it. She didn't expect things to progress this fast.
Difficult. Shouldn't we have dinner first?
Lu Zhou walked next to her and stared at her for a while.
"Anything?"
The girl's cheeks turned red. She nodded and said, "Yeah."
She took a step forward. Her heart was about to jump out of her chest when she heard Professor Lu's voice in her ear again.
"… Then go back and study hard. Prepare for the make-up exam."
Girl: "???"
Lu Zhou looked at her muddled face and sighed.
Logically speaking, after coming back for so many years and doing so many things for undergraduate education, the mathematics department at Jin Ling University should be full of geniuses.
Why did he run into all the slackers who wanted to take shortcuts?
As expected, I haven't succeeded yet, I still have to work hard …
