Mr. Mu, stop bullying Professor Jian.

Chapter 112 Meet again

Winter is over and spring is not far away.

Spring goes and autumn comes in just the blink of an eye.

After the first rain of autumn fell, K University welcomed another year of new students. The whole school suddenly became lively, and fresh and energetic young people stepped into the cradle of their dreams.

The morning sun is as bright as fire.

Compared to the bustling student centers near the K University's several school gates and dormitory buildings, the key laboratory area is much quieter.

Apart from teachers, students or scientific researchers who need relevant projects, there are few people hanging around here. After all, you can't get in without an access card.

"Brother Li, the school is welcoming new students today. Let's go out for lunch early. Maybe we can meet some junior students in the same major..." Huang Xinya was a little excited.

"Yeah, finally there are new people joining our project team, right? We can relax a little bit in the future..."

The speaker is Xu Zhuoran, a second-year graduate student who joined this new project at the beginning of this year. He majored in electrochemistry and encountered a hellish and crazy overtime mode as soon as he started.

Can you imagine? A rookie accidentally entered a high-end game, which happened to have multiple projects going on at the same time, and his mentor was a workaholic who almost slept in the laboratory. He was so exhausted.

Fortunately, he only followed up on one of the projects!

Who among his family members understands how difficult his life has been in the past six months?

During the summer vacation, he lay in the air-conditioned room at home for a whole month and still couldn't recover!

When I returned to school, I heard from Senior Sister Huang that Professor Jian had been in school for the entire summer vacation, and Professor Jian had single-handedly advanced the progress of his project from the middle stage to the late stage.

The key point is that Professor Jian is the leader of the team, and this is just a small project! !

Xu Zhuoran secretly glanced at Professor Jian who was immersed in his work. Today's experiment did not require special lab coats, so they only put on white coats. The one Professor Jian was wearing seemed to be a lot bigger.

"Brother Li, how many people did Professor Jian recruit this year?"

Xu Zhuoran turned around and looked at Li Yuanwu.

"I heard that there are two graduate students and one doctoral student. Your project data is almost finished. Why are you asking this?"

Xu Zhuoran raised his chin towards Jian Zhinian and said, "Professor Jian is working too hard. He has lost weight again in more than a month of summer vacation. His white coat can hardly hold up. If a few people don't come to share the burden, I'm a little worried that he will collapse at any time..."

Li Yuanwu looked in the direction he pointed, sighed, and said, "Professor Jian... I'm afraid it's not a problem of helpers..."

At the beginning of this year, Professor Jian canceled his vacation early and took over one-third of the projects in the School of Chemistry after returning to work...

After defending his doctoral thesis, he was recommended by Professor Jian to stay on and become Professor Jian's assistant lecturer, sharing some teaching and experimental work.

Before last year, he was always laughing and joking around Professor Jian, but this year he didn't even dare to make a joke.

There's no such atmosphere at all!

"Uh? What's the question..."

"I don't know either. Why do you gossip so much?"

Li Yuanwu slapped him on the head with the document in his hand and urged him, "Go eat your meal!"

After the two more active ones left, the laboratory suddenly became quiet, and Li Yuanwu walked to Jian Zhinian.

"Professor Jian..."

Jian Zhinian raised his eyes and said, "You can come with me. I can just watch here by myself."

Li Yuanwu wanted to say something else, but Jian Zhinian interrupted him: "Go ahead. I'll be out when you guys come back. I won't forget to eat. You can watch me take the stomach medicine later."

Li Yuanwu had no choice but to give up.

Half a year ago, he took a 'part-time job' from Dr. Luo, watching over Professor Jian's meals and medication, three times a day.

Professor Jian listened and ate properly, but he didn't gain any weight.

Before leaving, he reminded: "Professor Jian, there will be a school-enterprise cooperation exchange meeting tomorrow. Dean Xiao asked me to remind you to attend. I have sent the report materials and speech draft to your email. Remember to take a look in advance tonight."

"understood."

Jian Zhinian rubbed his brows. Dean Xiao had mentioned this matter to him a long time ago, and he had refused. Now it seems that he can't refuse.

Li Yuanwu tried to probe: "Then Professor Jian, don't come to the laboratory tomorrow. I will pick you up at 8 o'clock tomorrow and go with you?"

"Well, it's up to you."

That night, when Jian Zhinian returned home, it was already two o'clock in the morning. He washed up casually, covered himself with the quilt and fell asleep.

At dawn the next day, his biological clock drove him to open his eyes. After changing his clothes, he habitually grabbed his card and walked towards the laboratory.

At eight o'clock, Li Yuanwu was at Jian Zhinian's house. After ringing the doorbell for ten minutes and no one opened the door, he sighed and went straight to the laboratory.

Sure enough, I saw Jian Zhinian in the laboratory. He had been there for who knows how long. Judging from the progress of the experiment, it had been at least two hours.

"Professor Jian, we are about to set off." Li Yuanwu stepped forward.

"Where are you going?" Jian Zhinian didn't even raise his head.

"The school-enterprise exchange meeting will be held in the school auditorium!"

Jian Zhinian thought for a moment and said calmly, "No hurry. It's too late to talk about the main topic before ten o'clock."

Li Yuanwu: …

That's you, you can choose not to listen to the opening speech and a bunch of other opening remarks, but I can't!

Besides, if he doesn’t bring the person over on time, Dean Xiao will kill him!

"Let's go, Professor Jian. Leave me a way to survive, and give yourself some time to eat breakfast!"

Li Yuanwu snatched the information from Jian Zhinian's hand, pulled his arm and left.

Li Yuanwu was startled by this pull, and suddenly remembered what Xu Zhuoran said yesterday. He also said woodenly: "Professor Jian, have you lost weight again?"

Jian Zhinian felt dizzy and dazed when he was pulled so suddenly by him. He didn't hear clearly what he said for a moment. He just calmed himself down and stood firm.

"Let's go."

He pushed Li Yuanwu away without leaving a trace and kept a suitable distance.

Li Yuanwu suddenly discovered that Professor Jian was not as close to him as before, because of his status as the "eldest son"! !

Seeing Jian Zhinian take a few steps, he hurriedly followed him, took him to the cafeteria, and watched Jian Zhinian eat breakfast.

At nine o'clock, Jian Zhinian found a secluded seat in the auditorium, sat down and closed his eyes to rest.

Li Yuanwu originally wanted to remind him whether he had read today's report results and speeches, but when he saw that Jian Zhinian's eyes were dark and he seemed to have fallen asleep, he held back.

It was not until the announcer said a bunch of prefixes and then the name 'Jian Zhinian' that Li Yuanwu pushed Jian Zhinian.

"Professor Jian, it's your turn to speak and report your findings next. My speech and PPT are both relatively simple..."

"Ah...oh, okay."

Jian Zhinian woke up as if from a dream. When he opened his eyes, he was dazed for a moment, but soon regained clarity.

He walked onto the stage and stood behind the podium. His introduction was displayed on the large LED screen in the auditorium.

Jian Zhinian raised his eyes, as if glancing at all the leaders and entrepreneurs in the audience. His subsequent speech was simple and clear. His expression seemed nonchalant, but his tone and posture were impeccable.

During the project report session, his eyes moved appropriately between the screen and the audience seats, accurately stating the core and extensions displayed on the screen. He even listed many data that were not on the screen.

"……Thanks……"

After the bow, there was warm applause.

Li Yuanwu was certain that Jian Zhinian had never read the email he sent, because his speech had nothing to do with the manuscript. Even the PPT he made to present his results was a piece of shit compared to Jian Zhinian's on-site performance.

Professor Jian is worthy of being Professor Jian.

He... after all these years, he's still so convinced!

Seeing Jian Zhinian walk off the stage, Li Yuanwu quickly took down his chair, but Jian Zhinian did not sit down. Instead, he stopped beside him and said:

"Let's go."

"Ah?" This was the first time that Li Yuanwu participated in this kind of activity as a lecturer. Could he... just leave?

Jian Zhinian didn't repeat himself and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, the host's microphone sounded again -

"Now we will present awards to outstanding projects. Please invite the following project teams to come on stage..."

Li Yuanwu had to remind him: "Professor Jian is calling your name."

Jian Zhinian didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he turned around, he met Xiao Haishan's eyes that were looking for him.

Their eyes met, Jian Zhinian couldn't escape, so he had to bite the bullet and turn around to take Li Yuanwu to the stage. When he stood on the stage, Jian Zhinian's thoughts were all over the place. He didn't quite understand why Dean Xiao insisted that he appear in such an occasion...

"... Now, please welcome the first prize presenter, Mu Qingyuan, the president of Zhiyuan Technology Group..."
