Ren Zixian opened his mouth to speak, but Xu Xuanming waved his hand: "Let me make it clear to you today. I don't care about Professor Yu and Professor Mo. If you want me to recommend you, you can either show your grades or go back to the undergraduate program and take the exam honestly. Come up at once!”
Xu Xuanming looked to be no more than thirty, and his serious look seemed a bit inconsistent, but Ren Zixian knew that he was serious.
It was raining outside the window, raindrops hitting the transparent windows, and the only pedestrians left on the street passed by in a hurry.
Ren Zixian stood up: "So that's it. In the final analysis, it's just because you think I got here through connections."
"Isn't it?" Xu Xuanming's mouth twitched with a look of disdain.
"I don't deny that I used some means." Ren Zixian stood up, still showing no anger or anger, "But this does not affect how capable I am. Then if I solve the lacquered coffin matter this time, Can I get your recommendation?"
Her voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful. Mixed with the rain, there was an incredible sense of tranquility.
Xu Xuanming raised his eyebrows in surprise, "The lacquer coffin is a project of the cultural relics restoration factory. If you accept it, if you can't complete it, you will be pushed out of the cylinder. At that time, you did not drop out of school voluntarily but resigned from the school."
Ren Zixian said softly: "Someone has to solve this matter. Instead of staring at Professor Mo Wen, it's better for me to come out on my own. Anyway, that's the purpose of why you invited me here today, isn't it?"
If what she expected was correct, the package given by Professor Yu Xinyi was not important at all. The ultimate goal was to get Professor Xu Xuanming to recommend her a place.
The lacquer coffin incident was an accident. Xu Xuanming refused to let go for several days, but tonight he invited her to dinner uncharacteristically.
She didn't realize his purpose at first, but when it came to either showing up or dropping out, Ren Zixian still didn't understand.
"I don't have the skills, but I have a tough mouth." Xu Xuanming tapped his fingers regularly on the table: "You have to think clearly. This project has been watched by the literary and art department from the beginning to the beginning. If it really can't be completed, then It's all your responsibility. Not to mention Professor Yu, even Professor Mo Wen won't be able to protect you when the time comes."
This project has been assigned to Professor Mo Wen’s laboratory. If it cannot be completed, it will be a big mistake. Not only will various projects be blocked, but the credibility of the business for so many years will also be damaged.
This Ren Zixian was a well-connected person brought in by the Lin family. Even if he was fired, it would have no impact on Yan Da.
If she was fired because she didn't complete the work she took on, even Ms. Lin wouldn't be able to say anything.
After much thought, Ren Zixian was the best candidate to take over the project, so Xu Xuanming made an appointment with Ren Zixian.
I originally thought that it would take some effort, but I didn't expect that Ren Zixian would agree so easily, which would save trouble.
"I will work hard." Ren Zixian picked up his bag and walked into the rain.
…
The next day, before Ren Zixian arrived at the hospital, he received a call from Qin Yiyi.
"Ren Zixiao," Qin Yiyi's voice was anxious, "I've told you not to pick up the lacquer coffin, why are you still going?"
Xu Xuanming didn't give Ren Zixian a chance to regret it, so he reported Ren Zixian's name while Professor Mo Wen was still in the hospital.
Director Zhao Miao didn't say anything. For them, it doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's a student of Professor Mo Wen.
That night, a post about Ren Zixian taking over the lacquer coffin project quickly reached the top of the forum.
[Ren Zixian, a freshman in the Mowen Laboratory, took over the lacquer coffin project alone! 】
The post stated simply and clearly who the project would end up with, but everyone knew that Professor Mo Wen was so angry that he was sent to the hospital yesterday.
His graduate student took over the lacquer coffin project that night, and it was impossible to think that it was Professor Mo Wen's instruction.
Everyone would feel professionally inappropriate about asking the Painting and Calligraphy Restoration Research Laboratory to do the lacquer coffin project, and now Ren Zixian's appearance has made others sneer at him.
[Oh my God, a first-year graduate student? How dare she? 】
[Okay, okay, let’s poke fun at Professor Mowen while he’s away, right? 】
[When did our literary major feel sorry for the cultural relic restoration factory? Every urgent task given was given priority, done quickly and well, and I never complained even if I was stressed. Don't leave Toyojing's carpentry group this time to make things difficult for our professor? 】
[The professor was just sent to the hospital yesterday, and his house was robbed today? 】
[Is Ren Zixian crazy for trying to get ahead? She dares to take on a project that Professor Mo Wen even promoted? Even if you complete the project independently, it will discredit the professor! 】
[I hope the professor is okay. 】
[I don’t know how angry the professor would be when he heard that this student was making the decision without permission. 】
The post was directly pinned to the top by an account with the ID name 'Xu Xuanming'.
The incident spread on the Internet, and the person involved, Ren Zixian, was called to the Academic Affairs Office.
Director Zhao Miao sat at the backlit desk, pulled down his reading glasses and looked Ren Zixian up and down: "Are you Ren Zixian? Professor Xu Xuanming said you have to take on the lacquer coffin project alone?"
Zhao Miao's attitude was gentle. He glanced at Xu Xuanming who was standing aside and said in a gentle tone: "I can understand that young people are impulsive and want to achieve results, but this project is not homework for primary school students. Is there any way to relieve anger? What if everyone knows about it? It will be us who are embarrassed by our words."
Zhao Miao deliberately helped Xu Xuanming cover up. As a professor-level teacher, it is not a good thing to openly challenge students.
Ren Zixian didn't say anything. Zhao Miao took a sip of hot tea when he saw this: "I think it's better to do this. It's impossible for the school to assign such an important project to you, a first-year graduate student. Professor Mo Wen is on sick leave, so you can follow Xu Professor, please do a good job in this project, young people should not be so arrogant."
Zhao Miao didn't take this student seriously. He knew that Ren Zixian had studied microbiology as an undergraduate at Fengjing University before, and then went to study liberal arts across majors. His resume was clean and beautiful, without any stains.
Even in my junior year, I had completed all my credits and got the professor’s recommendation after studying with Professor Yu Xinyi.
He had seen many students like this who became a monk halfway and quickly wanted to make their mark, but this time it was a project given by the cultural relics restoration factory. If it was not done well, it would not just be a matter for a student or a laboratory.
"No, thank you, teacher. I want to complete this coffin painting project independently."
Zhao Miao was stunned, and Xu Xuanming laughed in understanding, as if he had known this outcome for a long time.
"Young people, don't be so stubborn," Zhao Miao said disapprovingly. "The school is also for your own good, and you can learn a lot from experienced teachers. Then apologize to Teacher Xu..."
Ren Zixian glanced at Xu Xuanming, who was standing beside him with great interest, and turned to Zhao Miao and said, "Thank you, teacher. I can't bring trouble to the teacher because of this matter. What's more, since I completed this project alone, I didn't ask the teacher to accompany me." The truth behind taking the blame.”
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Zhao Miao waved her hand and asked Ren Zixian to leave.
"Let me just say that this kind of student is easy to deal with." Xu Xuanming pulled up his chair and sat across from Zhao Miao. "This kind of person comes in through connections. She thinks that her sponsor can handle anything. She only needs a little provocation to get her head turned on."
The young students had the arrogance to refuse to admit defeat. Their original intention was to let Ren Zixian bear the responsibility alone, but now she was so polite and refused Xu Xuanming's help.
"But we can't just recommend a student to do the Literary Renovation Factory project," Zhao Miao said. "You still have to take the lead in doing this project. At least show your attitude. We have sent professors to do this project. It’s just that you are left to your own devices and don’t appreciate it.”
Xu Xuanming shrugged. Ren Zixian was a very special student. She did not have an undergraduate degree in liberal arts and had no mentor. She only had the recommendation of Professor Yu Xinyi, but she got Professor Mo Wen's name.
Since the establishment of the liberal arts major, Professor Mo Wen and Professor Yu Xinyi have been competing against each other.
The major of cultural relic restoration is said to be a new discipline, but it uses old techniques. In order not to destroy cultural relics, new chemicals and technologies cannot be directly tested on the original objects, so most of them adopt conservative methods for restoration.
If you don't meet a good craftsman, you'd rather keep the antiques.
Therefore, newcomers who are willing to innovate are afraid to publish slightly innovative papers. If there are no results, there will be no sponsorship. Without sponsorship, they will have to name other professors. Without fame, even graduate students are not satisfied. Without graduate students, there will be no graduate students. Results.
It is already a vicious cycle, and the professors who make money basically follow Mo Wen and Yu Xinyi, regardless of the life or death of others.
But now Professor Mo Wen is the only one who excels in the entire liberal arts major. All students are proud to enter Professor Mo Wen's laboratory, and the rest of the professors have been reduced to candidates.
Professor Yu Xinyi's unexpected dismounting was like a thunder, breaking the situation that had existed for many years.
Now, as long as Professor Mowen falls from the altar, other professors will naturally get a share of the pie.
This lacquer coffin project may be a breakthrough.
"Look on the bright side, Ren Zixian is holding a gun in front of you. If you can do the best, it doesn't matter if you can't." Zhao Miao chuckled, "After all, it's not the school that bullies a student, but the students themselves. Do not appreciate."
…
The Lin family's old house.
Zhu Jinglan's health was not good, so the heating in the old house was turned on at full speed. Lin Kaifeng took off his coat and saw Lin Qingsong walking in with the cold wind.
"Why are you calling me back?" Lin Qingsong sat down on the sofa without politeness, "I have two more meetings in the afternoon, you'd better finish it quickly."
Lin Kaifeng called Lin Qingsong back to his old home with a phone call.
Although Lin Qingsong was surprised, Zhu Jinglan was the only one living in the old house now. In order not to irritate her, Lin Qingsong and Lin Kaifeng did not come back very often.
"What kind of attitude!" Lin Kaifeng said with a straight face, "I saw you lost a little weight before, but you look better these days."
Lin Qingsong raised his eyebrows, signaling Lin Kaifeng to get down to business.
Lin Kaifeng coughed twice: "Your mother and I decided to hand over the Zhu family's business to you."
When Lin Qingsong heard this, his face instantly darkened: "Aren't you kidding?"
