After leaving behind a dozen pieces of paper, Lu Zhou left confidently.
Professor Krugman looked at the stack of A4 papers in Xiao Tong's hand and opened his mouth. He hesitated for a while and finally spoke.
"This is a gift from your elder brother. How you want to use it is up to you to decide."
"You can choose to publish it in your own name, or you can choose other methods. I don't want to interfere with you with my opinion, even though I recommend the former … After all, your brother obviously doesn't care much about economics, and he wants to use it to help you … Of course, it's up to you how you choose."
Although the punishment for academic fraud and plagiarism was very severe in the academic community, they would not investigate who completed the research results.
This was just like how some unscrupulous professors would exploit their students and even deprive them of their research results. However, as long as they didn't make a big fuss and force someone to jump off a building, no one would take it seriously.
Similarly, if a generous supervisor was willing to give their hard work to a student, most people in the academic community would assume that the idiot gave up ownership of the research results.
After all, there were so many researchers in the world. If they did not follow the "spirit of the contract" and only relied on "rational analysis" to guess which research results were made by which person, wouldn't the world be a mess?
Besides, no one was that bored.
Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Hsu-Còm
Even rules with loopholes were better than no rules at all.
Therefore, in theory, if Xiao Tong published this paper as her own, regardless of whether she had the ability to write such a paper, as long as Lu Zhou didn't say anything, even if there were doubts, the academic community would tacitly agree that she was the one who completed the paper.
Xiao Tong stared at the thesis in her hand for a long time. She took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind.
"I've decided!"
"I didn't choose the academic path for the Nobel Prize or anything else. Although I admit that it's tempting, I still want to make my own achievements."
"If it's because of my collaboration with my brother, I'll be very happy … But if it's not like that, I always feel … a little weird."
She didn't reject the idea of working with her brother on the same research project, nor did she reject her brother's wish for her to rely on him. However, if it was the kind of success that didn't matter to her, that kind of achievement wasn't what she wanted.
Maybe this was a bit arrogant, but it was also what she really wanted. She wanted to be a scholar worthy of the title of "Professor Lu's thesis collaborator", not someone who only knew how to use other people's research results …
She despised people like that from the bottom of her heart.
Even though she had to admit that she was still very weak, Lu Zhou was so powerful that even her mentor, Professor Krugman, felt pressured by him …
But she was still young, and she believed that she still had unlimited possibilities!
Xiao Tong looked at her supervisor, Professor Krugman, and spoke in a serious manner.
"I want to publish these things in my brother's name … Is that okay?"
"I can't submit it to a journal, but we're at the International Macroeconomics Forum, and theses aren't the only way to publish research results, but …" Professor Krugman looked at Xiao Tong seriously and said, "Have you really thought about it? This is a Nobel Prize-level research, I suggest you think about it for another night. "
Without any hesitation, Xiao Tong gently nodded.
"I've thought about it."
Even though Professor Krugman was a bit disappointed, he had a look of approval in his eyes.
"At my age, I've seen a lot of young and promising scholars, and I've also seen a lot of successful scholars, but to be able to have the same qualities as you … It can be said that it's rare to find a scholar."
"Maybe one day I should pay a visit to your parents. To be able to raise such an outstanding child, they must be quite outstanding people."
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, they're just ordinary people." Xiao Tong smirked and said, "But I love them very much."
Professor Krugman laughed and patted his thigh. He said, "Whether a person is ordinary or excellent doesn't depend on their academic achievements, it depends on whether they have a strong heart. You're too young and impetuous, you'll know when you're old. Go back and rest, Professor Angus and I haven't eaten yet. Since you've already eaten, you don't have to sit here with us. "
Xiao Tong left.
In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left at the table.
Professor Krugman still had a look of regret on his face. Professor Angus poked his elbow and comforted him with a congratulatory tone.
"You've recruited a good student."
"Yeah." Professor Krugman nodded and sighed. He said, "She's not tempted by a Nobel Prize-level research result … If I hadn't already won it, I wouldn't have been able to do it.
"But I have to say, it's a pity for her."
Angus raised his eyebrows and said, "What an accident."
Krugman: "Accident?"
"Yeah, I can't believe you're thinking about your student's perspective. I've heard a lot of rumors about you, and they're all bad things about you ordering people around."
"You're talking about those rumors?" Krugman smirked and said, "Don't think that just because you're in my office, you deserve to be my student. It's not that easy to be my student."
Those idiots that he didn't acknowledge were just "employees" that he recruited to complete teaching tasks or research projects.
Rumors?
Whatever they say.
Who cares about these things?
…
Actually, on the way back, Lu Zhou realized that his approach might be a bit inappropriate.
However, he thought about it and realized that since Xiao Tong was the same type of person as him, there was no need to worry about things that would never happen.
Perfecting the Lu Bewley model was his responsibility as a scholar. As for giving it to Xiao Tong, hoping that she could complete the thesis, it was because of his love for his sister …
Of course, he admitted that he was spoiling his sister.
This was a Nobel Prize-level research result, and he didn't really care about his achievements in the field of economics. Maybe he didn't even realize that he had always been an honest person, but he actually wanted Xiao Tong to publish the model in her own name …
When Lu Zhou returned to his hotel from the Xinrui Hotel, he threw the invitation letter on the desk next to the floor-to-ceiling window. However, he was about to sit in front of his computer and work for a while when his stomach growled.
Lu Zhou finally realized that he didn't eat his fill at the buffet cafeteria …
"Ah, I was too pretentious and didn't even eat my fill … What a waste."
Lu Zhou rubbed his stomach and looked at the clock on the wall.
It was 9: 30 pm.
If he went to bed right now, he wouldn't have to eat anymore. However, it was a bit too early to go to bed now.
'Forget it, who cares?'
No matter how much I eat, I won't get fat.
Lu Zhou was about to call the hotel front desk and ask them to send him a midnight snack when his phone suddenly rang.
He took it out and saw that it was Chen Yushan calling.
Lu Zhou picked up the phone and spoke.
"Hello?"
Chen Yushan's voice was filled with anticipation as she carefully asked.
"Are you free tomorrow?"
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and nodded. "I think I'm free, why?"
"Then wait for me at the hotel tomorrow morning! I'll pick you up! Come with me when you're free, don't forget! "
Before Lu Zhou had a chance to speak, Chen Yushan suddenly hung up the phone.
Lu Zhou listened to the busy tone from the other end of the phone. He had a muddled expression on his face.
"…?"
Why did she suddenly hang up?
Did she not give me a chance to stand up?
But I didn't plan on standing up!
Lu Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Where's the trust between people!
But speaking of which, this phone call came at the right time.
If he didn't have this phone call, he would have forgotten about it …
