"Did I fail?" Hancock looked at the notice helplessly. This time, he had missed the opportunity to be a professor.
Well, in fact, it could not be considered a miss because he was ranked last in the selection of more than 20 people. He did not even have the qualification to be a professor.
"This group of hateful white people, they just discriminate against us yellow people and black people like you!" Lee said angrily beside Hancock, "I did so much work and put in so much effort for Professor Jarvis, but in the end, this opportunity was given to white people, these bastards!"
"You are better than me, you are second! You almost succeeded! "Hancock said. Well, in fact, Lee was the one who really missed the opportunity. He almost succeeded.
"Actually, you are also very good!" Hearing Hancock's words, Lee's mood was a lot better, so he comforted him, "In fact, you chose the wrong topic. Why do you have to make the thinnest carbon layer?"
"Even if it is the thinnest, it is still carbon. It is just the basic properties of carbon. Even if it is prepared, it will not have any effect. This is a meaningless paper. It will not even be cited by people. Of course, they will not give you a high score!" Lee said with a smile.
"No, this is not pure carbon!" Hancock shook his head vigorously and said, "You have not seen this thin layer of graphite. You don't know how magical this layer of graphite is. I just did an electrical experiment on it and found that its ability is dozens of times stronger than monocrystalline silicon. This is definitely a magical material to be developed."
"It is a pity that I only did one experiment and that layer of graphite was destroyed. I don't have the financial resources to buy so much tape to make it again. Otherwise, I would be able to measure more characteristics."
"Yes, yes, it is a pity!" Lee comforted, but in his heart, he scolded this guy for being an idiot. He did not make up the data better. Graphite had dozens of times the ability of monocrystalline silicon. Even if he was drunk, he could not make up such data.
You said that the material was destroyed and only got such data. Isn't it obvious that the technology is fake and you want to destroy the evidence?
Plus, if you meet those judges who discriminate against black people, it would be a wonder if they would believe you.
In the end, I was the unlucky one. I had to do the hardest work in the laboratory. I had to do all the chores, and I had to constantly flatter my teacher. When I finally found the time to write a paper and study the special steel material, the first name of the paper still had to be written by that old man. I was only the second author!
Lee also complained in his heart. At that moment, the two of them reached a consensus. They drank beer and got drunk until the next day.
However, as soon as they woke up, they found that the research building was in a mess. Many people were wearing suits and ties, completely different from their usual sloppy appearance.
In particular, almost all of the overseas students from the country like Li Du had come out.
"What happened?" Li grabbed a friend and asked in English.
"The Daqian is here. The Daqian's laboratory came to Yale to recruit researchers!" This friend replied directly in Chinese, "Li, why are you still drunk? Hurry up and prepare. There are only 10 places this time. If you're late, you'll have to wait for another year!"
"The Daqian!" Li was a little hesitant. Of course, he knew about the Daqian. It was the strongest company in the country and had even reached the second position in the world. Moreover, the income of its researchers was extremely high.
One of his seniors had returned to China. It was said that his monthly income was equivalent to 10,000 US dollars. At the same time, he had received a year-end bonus of nearly 30,000 US dollars last year. Li was very envious.
Now, he was working as an assistant for the professor. At most, he could only receive 1,200 US dollars a month. The year-end bonus of the professor was equivalent to more than a year's income. Needless to say, it was very enviable.
Li thought that his talent was far better than that of this senior. If he went there himself, his income would definitely be higher.
However, Li, who had the opportunity to go there last year, did not participate in the on-campus Daqian job fair. In Li's opinion, if he went to work in the Daqian, it was equivalent to returning to that terrible country.
He had spent so much time and effort to escape from that backward, damned country and join the great United States. He was about to become a citizen of the United States. How could he give up halfway at such a crucial time?
Therefore, Li had refused last year.
Now, his thoughts had not changed. Although he had failed to become a professor, he still had a chance. He still had a teacher who would put him in an important position. He still had a chance!
"Li, what are they talking about?" Hancock was also curious about these busy and flustered people. He suddenly asked curiously.
"They all want to work in a backward country!" Li said disdainfully, "Other than the high salary, there is nothing good about it. People with real talent and dreams will not go there!"
"How high is the salary?" Hancock asked again.
"About 10,000 US dollars a month!" Li said impatiently. Then, he returned to his own research building. He planned to continue to flatter his professor and strive to be successfully promoted next year.
Hancock's eyes lit up instantly.

"Professor, you called for me!" Li, who had returned to the research building, was suddenly told that the professor was looking for him for something important. So, he hurried over.
"Li, are you Korean, Hua Xia, or Wanwan?" The professor suddenly asked.
"Ah …" Li was stunned. He had been working for the professor for two years. How could the professor still not know which country he was from?
In fact, the professor could not be blamed. The main reason was that Li had always only spoken English. At the same time, because he hated his home country deep in his heart, he refused to show any connection with his home country. So, the professor did not know which country he was from. He only knew which region he should be from based on his face.
"I am from Hua Xia!" If it were not for the fact that everything was written clearly in his file, Li would have said that he was the second generation of the United States and was a proper citizen of the United States.
"Well, Li, I will go out first. The rest of the matter, this gentleman will talk to you!" The professor said expressionlessly and then left the office.
It was not until this time that Li found a person standing in the dark corner of the office. Li was shocked.
"Li Ming, from Xijiang, Hua Xia, graduated from Xiamen University. In 2000, you came to the United States to study at Yale. In 2004, you decided to stay at the university and became Professor Davis's assistant until now, right?" The person hiding in the dark asked with a slightly strange voice.
"Deep in your heart, you want to be a citizen of the United States. Am I right?"
