"Lin Xiaofan, don't stand, sit down. ”

Lin Xiaofan came to Zhang Zhendong's office, and Zhang Zhendong looked very enthusiastic. Lin Xiaofan wondered, what's wrong with Zhang Zhendong?

"Lin Xiaofan, what do you think of our laboratory?"

Lin Xiaofan didn't know why Zhang Zhendong asked: "Our laboratory is very good, the learning atmosphere is very good, and Senior Zhang Wang is also very good to me." ”

"What about me? What do you think of me as a teacher?"

Lin Xiaofan: "Mr. Zhang, you are serious and responsible, and your academic and scientific research ability is very strong, and everyone is studying seriously under your guidance and doing experiments in a down-to-earth manner. ”

In fact, Lin Xiaofan has been doing experiments in the laboratory for several months, and Zhang Zhendong does not spend more than ten minutes in the laboratory every day, all depending on the students' consciousness.

Zhang Zhendong smiled and nodded: "I am very pleased that you can understand me so well." I'm going to tell you one thing, the students in our lab usually have to add my name to the papers they write, and you know this?"

"I've heard of that. ”

The student's paper, plus the teacher's name, Lin Xiaofan knows that this is a convention. However, when Lin Xiaofan submitted the paper, Zhang Zhendong did not remind him of this matter, so he ignored it.

Teachers generally do not take the initiative to add their own names to undergraduate essays, because undergraduate essays have little value.

Zhang Zhendong: "I saw that in your graduation thesis, only your own name was written, you see, isn't it?"

Zhang Zhendong said such a thing around the corner, and Lin Xiaofan finally understood his intentions. However, just add a name to the end of the paper, as for being so polite to him?

Because Zhang Zhendong had a very bad attitude towards Lin Xiaofan before, Zhang Zhendong was afraid that Lin Xiaofan would hold a grudge, and he really didn't guide Lin Xiaofan, if Lin Xiaofan didn't add his name, he wouldn't be able to say anything.

Lin Xiaofan: "Okay, Mr. Zhang, since you ask for this, I am willing to add your name to the paper." ”

At this moment, Zhang Qingbo came to Zhang Zhendong's office.

Zhang Qingbo saw that Lin Xiaofan was also there, and looked him up and down curiously: "You are Lin Xiaofan? Yes, very good." ”

Zhang Zhendong: "Xiaofan, this is Professor Zhang Qingbo of our school. ”

"Hello Professor Zhang!" Lin Xiaofan's praise for Zhang Qingbo was a little inexplicable.

Zhang Qingbo: "I bring good news, Lin Xiaofan's paper can be published. ”

"News so soon?" Zhang Zhendong was very pleased.

Zhang Qingbo: "I have a friend who is the editor of the journal Science, and I sent him the paper, and he showed it to the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief said that it could be published. ”

Science Magazine My Paper Published?

Lin Xiaofan was confused and didn't know what the two were talking about.

Zhang Zhendong smiled: "Xiaofan, you don't know yet." Your paper is very well written, and we thought about getting it to Science. Now that it has been favored by the editor-in-chief, it is only one step away from publication. ”

Lin Xiaofan suddenly realized, no wonder Zhang Zhendong's attitude towards him was suddenly so good, and he also emphasized that Zhang Zhendong's name should be added to the paper.

Zhang Zhendong continued: "Xiaofan, you can improve your paper again, and I will also help you see if there is anything that needs to be improved, and you must send a beautiful final draft of your paper to Science." ”

"Hmm. Lin Xiaofan nodded, he was faintly excited in his heart, the status of Science magazine in the domestic academic community is very high. He didn't expect that the paper he wrote would be published in Science!

A paper published in Science will give Lin Xiaofan a perfect answer to his college career.

Zhang Qingbo: "Zhendong, you will definitely be commended this time." Among several undergraduate dissertations, in addition to Lin Xiaofan's, there is also a student named Li Yifei, whose thesis was rated as an excellent thesis. ”

Hearing the news, Zhang Zhendong was even happier: "Haha, I was lucky to be assigned to Lin Xiaofan and Li Yifei. ”

Zhang Qingbo said casually: "The same students, some people are not motivated at all. In the same class as Lin Xiaofan, there is a person named Wei Kun, whose thesis is plagiarized, and the repetition rate is 95%. I also went to that lab to investigate, and he was often not in the lab. ”

Hearing that Zhang Qingbo was talking about Wei Kun, Lin Xiaofan asked, "Professor Zhang, how will this situation be handled?"

"I can only report it to the Registrar's Office and let them deal with it. ”

Lin Xiaofan: "Is it possible to be persuaded to quit?"

Zhang Qingbo: "It depends on the situation, the teacher of the Academic Affairs Office will definitely talk to him to see his attitude of admitting his mistakes, whether there are any special reasons, etc. If the situation is not particularly bad, it should not be dissuaded, but it is impossible to graduate successfully, at least it is a punishment of repeating a grade. ”

Hearing that he would not be persuaded to retreat, Lin Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was very disappointed in Wei Kun and didn't want to care about Wei Kun's affairs, he was persuaded to retire at the juncture of his senior year, which was devastating to Wei Kun.

"Xiaofan, that Wei Kun is your classmate, you go back and tell him, let him admit his mistakes with a sincere attitude, and write a good examination. If he can write a paper that is enough to publish when he is doing his graduation project next year, then it is nothing to repeat a grade for a year. ”

————

Lin Xiaofan returned to the dormitory and told him about Wei Kun's thesis and Zhang Qingbo's words.

"Wei Kun, don't you go to the laboratory to do experiments, even the papers are copied?"

Wei Kun smiled bitterly, where was his paper plagiarized, but he bought it directly at a high price of 10,000 yuan. 10,000 yuan, buying an undergraduate thesis is an absolutely high price, but Wei Kun didn't expect that he was actually deceived, and someone else gave him a plagiarized thesis.

Wei Kun couldn't say this kind of thing, so he could only admit the "crime" of plagiarizing the paper. Because buying papers is definitely a worse and more serious act than plagiarism.

"That Professor Zhang said that I won't be persuaded to quit? That's fine, as long as it's not dissuaded. ”

Lin Xiaofan shook his head: "Alas, you still have to think about how to pass the level of the Academic Affairs Office." Hello for yourself. ”

As soon as Wei Kun finished talking to Lin Xiaofan, he received a call from the Academic Affairs Office, asking him to go to the Academic Affairs Office.

Fortunately, Wei Kun knew about the thesis in advance and was mentally prepared. With his positive attitude of admitting his mistakes, the Academic Affairs Office finally decided to give him the punishment of repeating a grade.

When the punishment decision was issued, Wei Kun felt a sense of relief. This semester, it was like he was in a nightmare.

"Repeat a grade, go back to a year ago, and hopefully I can be reborn. ”

In the past year or so, Wei Kun has experienced a lot and understood a lot. Although he has done a lot of things that he regrets, one must look forward, he is still young, and there is still hope to struggle.

What hurts Wei Kun's heart the most is the loss of his relationship with Zhou Luyao. He repeated, Zhou Luyao graduated, and the two were no longer from the same world in the future.
