"Old Qi!" Meng Xiaobai shouted.

"Xiaobai?" Qi Zhicheng looked at Meng Xiaobai with a surprised expression, he hadn't seen him for more than a year, and Meng Xiaobai had changed too much.

Wearing neat and clean clothes, although I didn't see the brand, but judging from the fabric and workmanship, it is definitely not a bargain.

In Qi Zhicheng's impression, Meng Xiaobai belongs to that kind of technical nerd, he used to be very thin, but now his figure is extraordinarily well-proportioned, and his skin is very white, not pale, but full of vitality and healthy white.

The temperament of the whole person is also completely different, from a poor student, it seems to be more calm and charming. Such a change made Qi Zhicheng almost not recognize him.

"Haha!" Meng Xiaobai stepped forward and gave him a warm hug, "Old Qi, we haven't seen each other for more than a year, right?"

"Yes!" Qi Zhicheng felt a little in a trance, "The last time we met was at the graduation ceremony. It's been so long in a flash. ”

"Sit and say. The two of them found a table by the window, and they could see the students coming and going on the street, and the cafeteria was very simple, and everything was very lively.

"In our dormitory, you are the only one who is going to graduate school. How is your life in graduate school?" Meng Xiaobai asked.

"Well, don't talk about it. Qi Zhicheng sighed, "This graduate student is completely different from what I thought!"

"What's wrong?" Meng Xiaobai asked when he saw that he was depressed.

"Talk slowly, order first. Qi Zhicheng handed the menu to Meng Xiaobai, "Order whatever you want, I'll invite you today." ”

Meng Xiaobai took a look, although it was a small roadside restaurant, but each restaurant had a few signature dishes, Meng Xiaobai ordered a few casually, plus the wine money, it was only a few hundred yuan.

"Waiter, that's all. Meng Xiaobai noticed that when he handed the menu to the waiter, Qi Zhicheng's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

He remembered that when he went to school, Qi Zhicheng's family conditions were not very good, and now looking at his appearance, he should be very poor, so it is better to wait for him to secretly settle the bill.

"Come, there's nothing to do today, let's have a good talk. Meng Xiaobai rarely had time to relax, and when he met with old classmates, he talked to Qi Zhicheng.

The two chatted for a while, and the topic returned to Qi Zhicheng's graduate school.

Meng Xiaobai said: "Isn't Jiang University very good? It is well-known, you are still majoring in big data, and it is easy to find a job in the future! How do you look at you without any fighting spirit, Lao Qi, this is not like you!"

"In the past, when we played games together in the dormitory, you were still there to gnaw on books!

"Life!" Qi Zhicheng said, "I thought like you at first, but now I find that it's not the same thing at all!"

"Huh?" Meng Xiaobai listened carefully, and could see that he was a little depressed, and Qi Zhicheng had been holding back for a long time.

"Didn't I need to find a mentor when I went to graduate school? The mentor I chose was really hard to explain!"

"It was fine at first, or I was different at first. Whatever the tutor says, the research group does research, makes reports, and gets up early every day to touch the dark. Get up at five or six in the morning and get up until eleven or twelve in the evening!"

"Don't talk about it, graduate student, I'm mentally prepared. ”

"And then he was trapped?" Meng Xiaobai asked.

Qi Zhicheng took a deep breath, "The usual study tasks and research tasks are heavy, and I can't be busy every day. But the mentor, or the boss. ”

He smiled wryly and said, "We are all used to calling the mentor the boss. As for my boss, he basically doesn't care about me, and he has to learn everything by himself, saying that it is to cultivate my learning ability. ”

"That's it, but he really treats Lao Tzu as a tool! Usually let me go when there is something P at home, and I will go when his house moves, and if the air conditioner is broken, let me find a master to fix it, and if the sewer is blocked, let me go to the toilet...... And let me pay completely out of pocket and not be reimbursed. ”

"This tutor is too bad, isn't it?" Meng Xiaobai complained, "Treat students as coolies!"

"Hehe, you still praise him too much!" Qi Zhicheng continued, "I was sent in life, and then he asked me to help in his company, the reason is to train me." In fact, I was asked to go to his company as a free laborer, working overtime every day. ”

"Do you know how much money he gives me a month?"

"How much?" Meng Xiaobai asked.

"This number!" Qi Zhicheng raised two fingers.

"Three thousand yuan?" Meng Xiaobai felt unhappy for him, "Three thousand yuan is too cheap!"

"Three thousand? Is it three hundred, or is it a transportation subsidy. To put it bluntly, I don't have enough money to print materials!" Qi Zhicheng's tone was a little angry.

"I have to finish my studies again, and I have to complete the tasks of the research group, so I finally squeeze out a little free time and go to work in his company. You say, this is a graduate student, and I'm going to TNN!"

Qi Zhicheng usually speaks quite well, and basically doesn't say vulgar words, but when he said something today, he almost didn't scold his mother directly! Meng Xiaobai could hear that he was very dissatisfied and angry.

"Your graduate student will receive a state subsidy of a few hundred yuan, and he will give him three hundred yuan, can you survive?" Meng Xiaobai also felt very angry, although the graduate student went to study, Qi Zhicheng's tutor squeezed him too hard.

"Didn't you talk to him?

"Why didn't you talk about it?" Qi Zhicheng said helplessly, "I usually can't find him at all, I finally told him once, and he scolded him, saying that he wanted to make money at a young age, if he wanted to make money, let me get out of here as soon as possible, don't study for graduate school!"

"I can't help it!" Qi Zhicheng said, "Don't I know how to study? Last year, I worked hard for half a year and spent a lot of effort to figure out a high-quality SCI paper. Give it to him for trial, do you know what he did?"

"What?"

"He changed the first author of the paper to him, his disciple, another senior brother who had a good relationship with him, was the second author, and I, an original author, became the third author!" Qi Zhicheng gritted his teeth with hatred at the mention of this incident.

For researchers, the order of authorship of a paper is very important, and generally only the first author has influence. It is related to academics, professional titles, influence, etc., and this order of signature, even top university scholars will be very concerned.

If Qi Zhicheng wants to graduate successfully, he must publish a certain length of paper. His hard work was directly occupied by others, can he not be angry?

"Smack!" Meng Xiaobai couldn't stand it anymore, slapped the table, and scolded: "This is a fart mentor, this kind of person is not worthy of being a teacher." Haven't you thought about changing?"

"How is it possible?" Qi Zhicheng shook his head, "It's impossible to change." In school, the mentor is the authority. Whether or not I can graduate successfully from graduate school is a matter of his words, how dare I offend him?"
