boom!

Huang Qin got out of the taxi, slammed the door, closed the door, and walked towards the eye-catching "Guanlan Community" gate.

As he was blown by the cool night breeze on the lush tree-lined avenue, he suddenly became more awake.

When we got home, my wife had been waiting for a long time and immediately brought a cup of steaming milk.

Huang Qin drank it in a big gulp and wiped his face with a hot towel. His tired brain was instantly rejuvenated with blood.

He looked at the alarm clock on the wall. The hour hand had reached ten o'clock in the evening, and smiled at his wife.

"My dear, thank you for your hard work. Go to bed early. I still want to read a book in the evening, so don't worry about me."

The pretty young wife smiled gently: "Okay, husband, you should go to bed early and don't be tired."

Huang Qin watched his wife enter the bedroom. Huang Qin's eyes lingered on the graceful back for a moment, then he looked at his 160-square-meter mansion. After heaving a sigh of relief, Huang Qin couldn't help but smile with relief.

"After a man gets married, his life becomes much more comfortable. My parents really didn't lie to me."

He went back to his hometown in the county last year for a blind date, and carefully selected her, just like choosing a concubine, and finally decided on the marriage.

The woman graduated from high school. Although her education level was not high, she was gentle, considerate, and beautiful. He was very satisfied.

Huang Qin is a pragmatic person. He is not only very open-minded about marriage, but also has clear goals. What he is looking for is a responsible woman. The two of them can get married and have children together, and work together instead of falling in love and having a romantic relationship.

For him, there is no such thing as a soul mate, and there is no need for it, as long as the other person is virtuous, sensible, and lives a down-to-earth life.

Isn’t it nice to pursue a common language and talk about projects with colleagues, current affairs with buddies, and daily routines with parents?

He is not the kind of person who can't figure things out. He wants a wife who can support his husband and raise children, but he also wants his wife to speak a common language and have a fun life.

Moreover, he is as busy as a spinning top now, studying and working, 24 hours a day, and running out of space. He has no time to think about women and romantic relationships.

No, after being in a long-distance relationship for more than half a year, after the newly purchased flat was renovated, he went home to get the certificate, took the woman over, and lived a happy life as a married man.

His new home was very close to school and company, so when he was busy at work, he would spend the night in the dormitory. When he was not so busy, he would go home and enjoy the newlywed life with food to eat and clothes to eat.

All in all, this little life was very comfortable and enjoyable.

After two years, a child will be born, and the parents will take care of the child, and the family will be complete.

Of course, Huang Qin was like a mirror in his heart, and he knew very well that the reason why he could live such a good life was inseparable from the vigorous development of his career.

That's why he worked so hard to study for a Ph.D. and wanted to make further progress.

He washed his feet, put on his pajamas, walked into the study, turned on the computer, and found a new email.

When I opened it, I saw the literature materials sent by the tutor.

"Students, the first-year graduate school course is about to end. In order to better enter the next stage, I have compiled some literature for you."

"These are some supplements to the cell biology course. You can read more when you have time, and you can ask me if you don't understand anything."

"You must know that your entire study career is a process of all-round transformation for a person. The goal is to turn yourself into a real scientific research talent, not just to get a degree. All classmates, encourage each other!"

When Huang Qin saw this, he immediately felt convinced and couldn't help but nodded.

The instructor's words were so nice, and they really touched his heart.

He opened the attachment and looked at the literature list. They were all papers on cutting-edge topics such as gene expression, gene regulation, signal transduction, cell differentiation and apoptosis.

"My supervisor is very keen on pursuing some research hot spots in cutting-edge fields and has a very thorough understanding of them."

"Although I have read all these papers, the fact that he can collect them all and send them to students shows that he is still quite capable."

"By the way, should I tell him about the doctoral thesis topic earlier?"

Thinking of this, Huang Qin clicked on WeChat and found the profile picture of his mentor Du Biao.

"Teacher Du, good evening."

The other party quickly replied: "Hello, Xiao Huang, are you okay?"

Huang Qin: "Teacher Du, I have read the literature you sent. The content is very good, but the completeness is still lacking. I also have some papers that I collect here, which can be used as supplements. I hope the teacher can be satisfied with it. , share it with your classmates.”

After saying that, he sent out the seven pdf files.

Du Biao was speechless when he received the document. What kind of weird student is this? The tutor asked you to read the literature, and you just finished reading it. You actually asked the tutor to read the literature in turn?

However, he briefly glanced at the title and was immediately attracted by it. He also looked at the scientific research institutions and found that they were all papers published by the Sanqing Group Gene Laboratory.

Now he had to hold back all his words. He could only type and praise: "Classmate Xiao Huang, thank you. These papers are very well written. I am very interested in them. I will definitely read them carefully tomorrow."

Huang Qin: "Teacher Du, why do you want to read it tomorrow? It's too late to read it now. It's not even half past ten. One article takes half an hour. You can read three articles before going to bed at 12 o'clock."

When Du Biao saw this sentence, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"This is not my imagination." He thought to himself and couldn't help but rub his eyes, but saw another message from Huang Qin.

"I'll get up at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning and still have 2 hours to read, just in time to finish reading them all. Then I'll have dinner and go to class at 8 o'clock. Then you can happily discuss the literature with me. :)"

Du Biao looked at the smiley face symbol at the end of the message and felt a little dazed for a moment.

Who is this and where am I? Why did you directly arrange my schedule?

Who is the tutor and who is the student?

Students in the first year of graduate school basically focus on course study and have not yet begun to turn to academic seminars. If they participate in projects, they usually start in the second year of graduate school.

So although he had a good impression of this student who was usually serious in class, he didn't know much about him. He only knew that he was an employee of Sanqing, had good test scores, and had certain scientific research capabilities.

No, I encountered a big "surprise" today.

Du Biao started to complain wildly in his heart, but his moral sense of being a teacher restrained him well, so he could only send a meaningful smile in the same way.

Huang Qin felt very happy when he saw this smiling reply. He thought that the instructor seemed to have listened to what I said. He is also very busy at work, so I have to encourage him.

So he twirled his fingers and quickly sent a few messages.

"Teacher, thank you for your hard work. I have been your student for almost a year. After getting to know each other during this period, I have seen the potential in you, teacher. I hope you will not let down this potential and continue to work hard."

“As big as your heart is, as big as your stage is, no matter what your goal is, as long as you work hard, you will definitely achieve it.”

"What's more, you still have an outstanding student like me supporting you. Believe in me and believe in yourself!"

However, after this series of encouraging news was sent, there was no news, just like a cow in mud sinking into the sea.

Huang Qin was so anxious that he scratched his head and kept wondering, what is the teacher doing? Have you taken a shower? Gone for snacks? Still asleep?

He scratched his forehead and waited for a full 10 seconds before sending three question marks: "???"

This time, the instructor replied quickly: "I'm tired! I'm going to sleep!"

Huang Qin suddenly felt a surge of anger: "Teacher, you are only 40 years old. How can you sleep at your age?"

"Teacher, wake up, you are already 40, and you are not yet an outstanding young person. If you don't work hard, it will be too late. You can't be judged as an outstanding young person at the age of 45."

"You only have four years, if you don't hurry up, it will be too late if you don't work hard!"

"What difference does outstanding young people make? They just use the time when others are sleeping to write articles."

"Teacher, you can do it too. You must be strict with yourself, have goals in life, don't follow the crowd, and be a person with depth and pursuit!"

"Before you graduate with your Ph.D., I hope you can be selected as an outstanding student. Please don't let me down!"

After sending this large series of messages, the other party fell silent for an instant.

It took a while before a reply came.

"..."

"You are thinking too much."

"Outstanding Youth is not something I can judge just because I want to."

"Do you think I don't want to? It's hard to get results, okay?"

"I'm already very tired from work. I also have to go around to get projects, apply for funds, and take care of students. I'm so damn tired, okay?"

The other party seemed to be venting his anger and sent a series of messages.

Huang Qin looked at it and suddenly fell into deep thought.

The instructor has opened up his heart to me. He is not iron-clad, and he has a family, so he will definitely feel tired.

I must comfort him.

"Teacher, I understand you, but you also have to fight for your strength."

"A person's youth only lasts for a few years. If you miss it, you will miss it."

"If you work hard in the past few years and get the outstanding talents, everything will be fine in the future!"

"Be good, you must work hard! No matter how hard it is, it will only last a few years!"

"Give it a try and you won't regret it in life."

"As a student, I will always be your strongest supporter."

He sent it out with a few swishes.

However, the instructor stopped replying.

Huang Qin looked at the time and suddenly realized.

"It's almost 11 o'clock. The instructor must be reading the literature. I'd better not disturb him."

"By the way," he patted his forehead and remembered one thing: "I haven't told him about my doctoral project yet."

"How about sending him a message and telling him so that he can be mentally prepared."

After thinking about it, Huang Qin sent another message to the teacher.

"Teacher Du, I have already thought about the topic for my doctoral thesis, but I may need to change my research direction."

As soon as I sent it, I received a reply. The teacher responded instantly this time.

"Xiao Huang, have you thought about it?"

"If you think about it, I will be happy for you as a teacher and I will never stop you from having a teacher-student relationship. I will definitely recommend a more suitable doctoral supervisor for you."

Huang Qin was a little strange: "Teacher, it's not me who wants to change my research direction, but you who want to change my research direction."

"I have no plans to change mentors."

"I quite like you. You are serious in your lectures. You are also very kind to me. You will also encourage your classmates to study hard. You are also kind and easy to get along with. But you are a bit lazy, not diligent enough, and not motivated enough. , apart from that, he is a rare good mentor and friend.”

"I just don't like your research direction very much. It's not cutting-edge enough. If you continue to do it, there is little chance of producing results."

"I hope the teacher can change my research direction before I study for a Ph.D., otherwise I may have to go it alone and won't be able to bear your name."

"Teacher, you still meet my requirements in all aspects. I hope I can complete this big project with you."

"Think about it carefully."

On the other end of the phone, Du Biao was stunned when he received several text messages like this.

It took me a while to react, and I was so angry that I blew my beard and stared, my hands began to tremble, and I couldn't hold the phone steady.

"How dare you, Shuzi! Do you think working in Sanqing means you are awesome? That you can do this to me?"

"Before, I was so angry that I tried my best to judge outstanding talents. I have a good temper and I don't have the same experience as a young boy like you. I can't bear it anymore."

"Now you actually ask me to change my research direction? How dare you!!!"

"Ahhh! I'm so angry!"

He was so angry that he immediately wanted to block Huang Qin and never wanted to see this traitor again.

But after thinking about it more carefully, I still gave up. After all, the traitor is an employee of Sanqing Group. If he offends the other party and complains directly to the school, his teaching and research career will be over.

So, he decided to find another way to communicate with this arrogant rebel.

"Haha, that's putting it lightly. Tell me, what direction do you want me to change?"

Huang Qin: "Teacher, your current direction is cell biology. I suggest you move into developmental biology and switch to the direction of cell and developmental biology."

"This will be more consistent with my future doctoral project, and it will be easier to produce results."

Du Biao spat and started typing with disdain on his face.

"Come on, let me have a look at your doctoral project. I want to see how cutting-edge and advanced it is? Why did it kill my current direction in an instant?"

Huang Qin: "My doctoral topic is "Research and Application of Gene-Edited Pigs in Solving Xenogeneic Organ Transplantation."

"Of course this is only part of the entire project. I am mainly responsible for the study of pig genome and embryonic development."

Du Biao sneered: "What a big tone. The topic of xenogeneic organ transplantation is quite bluffing. Is this a major national project? Do you have scientific research funds? Do you have a research team? You won't say that you are the only one." Bar."

Huang Qin: "Of course it is a major national project. Our company has already approved the project, namely the "Xenogeneic Organ Transplantation" project. Research funds have been allocated. The state has not allocated much, and the first batch is less than 1,000. Ten thousand, but the company gave me a lot more, and the funding was approved to be fifty million."

Du Biao suddenly felt his mouth was a little dry: "Five, fifty million?"

Huang Qin: "Yes, fifty million US dollars. If there is progress, there will be a lot of money later."

"But this is the funding for the entire large project. When it comes to my project, the funding may only be 50 million yuan."

"Teacher, I'm telling you because I really think this subject has great future, and I also want to cooperate with the stem cell laboratory. You know the person in charge, Ding Mian, is a big boss. He is responsible for artificial blood and artificial kidneys. s project."

"If I can work with him, even if I get some results, it will be enough to complete my doctoral thesis."

"Teacher, what do you think? Do you want to join my project? Bring those classmates to work with me?"

"Don't worry, I will never treat you badly. I will give you adequate treatment as my classmates. I will be the corresponding author for you after the paper is written. You will definitely be rated as an outstanding student."

Du Biao: "Xiao Huang, don't call me teacher anymore, just call me Xiao Du."

"You don't like my research direction, right? No problem, I can change it to the cell and developmental biology you suggested."

"I think this direction is very good. It's cutting-edge and has great potential. I'll apply to the hospital tomorrow."

"Any further guidance?"

Huang Qin was stunned. For some reason, he felt a little hairy all over his body.

"Teacher Du, please be normal, I'm not kidding you."

Du Biao was speechless after reading this.

Isn’t this what you asked me to change my research direction? Why aren't you used to it now that I've changed you?

Okay, this attitude is a bit too much, but he really means it.

I only knew that the employees at Sanqing were great at scientific research, but I never expected that I, a student, would be a fighting star among the greats. Not only could I independently bring in projects and funds, the amount would be so large, but I would also have such an awesome collaborative team. .

So why are you hesitating? He also has dreams, and he can't rate himself as an outstanding student, but if a student is willing to train him, he won't mind being taken away at all.

"Xiao Huang, I'm serious too. I really want to join your project."

Huang Qin then became happy: "Great, I said you will definitely be interested."

"Teacher, I'm going to read the literature. I won't disturb you anymore. We'll discuss the details tomorrow morning."

"Teacher, you have to work hard, I'm doing this for your own good."

"In addition to my subject, you should also strive for projects from the Ministry of Science and Technology. The training projects of the Ministry of Education are also suitable for you. You have to make time to participate. Academician Chang is also coming to Pangu Research Institute to give lectures on weekends. You can sit in with me and get to know each other. Become an academician and expand your network."

"Come on! Jie Qing is waiting for you."

Du Biao nodded instantly like a chicken pecking at rice, his attitude was extremely docile.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm listening to whatever you say."

Distinguished Young Scholars mainly refer to young scholars who have won the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars and have made outstanding achievements in basic research. They must not be older than 45. They are the second-level high-end talents in China after academicians of the two academies.
