Twenty-five years ago, when the Faculty of Science was first established, Renmin University was almost a pure liberal arts school -- the senior sister (doctoral student) of Jiang Yucheng's laboratory once laughed at herself, and when she came to study as an undergraduate seven years ago, the most common sentence she heard was "What about the Department of Chemistry at Renmin University?"

Of course, by the time I entered the university, the School of Science had been established for more than 20 years -- Mr. Cao, the head of the Department of Chemistry, was recently rated as the second academician in the history of the National People's Congress, which can be regarded as giving the Academy of Science a hard sense of existence, and the Department of Chemistry recently hugged the thigh of the Northeast Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences across the street, which was naturally much more proud than a few years ago -- and now Jiang Yucheng does not have to go through all the trouble to explain to the elders why the National People's Congress has a Department of Chemistry......

As for the computer science department in the "minor computer science", or the information school, it is also a school that lacks a sense of presence, just like the science school. However www.biquge.info the history of the School of Information is longer and larger, coupled with the most powerful data science strength in the country, it has become very popular in the recent Internet big data boom, which also saves Jiang Yucheng, who has taken many classes in the School of Information.

"If you study, we are science majors, and we are naturally much busier than liberal arts majors like Xiaoqi and them......," Jiang Yucheng said, knowing that he could neither behave too leisurely, nor appear to be too hypocritical and unable to endure hardships, "Of course, it is much easier than traditional engineering." ”

"Yucheng, do you usually participate in club activities?" Uncle Zhou then asked, "Your school seems to have a lot of student activities. ”

"Hmm. I worked in the student council for a while—and then last year I participated in the ACM competition with the School of Information," Jiang Yucheng replied -- he did have the experience of mixing in the student union for a while, and he did make it to the third ACM team of the National People's Congress, but to be honest, Jiang Yucheng now looks back on it, in fact, he was named in several departments. It's all about making soy sauce. He said that he was participating in student work, but in fact he was still staying in the dormitory...... As for the seemingly tall ACM, he is just an iron medal winner who plays along. Therefore, at this time, Jiang Yucheng naturally has to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses - he cannot say that he left the student union because he can't do it anymore, but he must say that he quit because of some "objective reasons" in other aspects:

"It's really fun to do an event with everyone—" Jiang Yucheng said—and that's true, "but after a semester, I don't think this is the life I want to live - I probably prefer to concentrate on academics in comparison." It just so happens that there are more classes in the sophomore year. Then I signed up for Daiso, so I withdrew from the student union......"

The most difficult lie to debunk is the incomplete truth -- Jiang Yucheng participated in student union activities and finally quit, which is true; Jiang Yucheng played ACM, signed up for Daiso, and now works on projects with Lao Xu's group, which is also true--but whether it is "I don't like student work" or "I have too much home." is so inactive that they are reluctant to participate in student work", which is quite different. Although Jiang Yucheng packaged himself in a high-sounding manner, unless Uncle Zhou could read minds, he didn't want to see the truth behind Jiang Yucheng's words......

"Daiso?" Uncle Zhou obviously didn't know what it was.

"College Student Innovation Experiment Program-" Jiang Yucheng replied. This is an area that only you know. Of course, I have to give full play to my advantages and talk about it -- anyway, Uncle Zhou and they must not know about professional matters," -- for our science and engineering students, it means that they can participate in scientific research projects in advance, work in the laboratory, enter the state of scientific research early, and prepare for future development. ”

"Oh, I see," Uncle Zhou looked suddenly enlightened, "So what kind ......of project are you doing?"

"Organic synthesis," Jiang Yucheng replied - although he himself is actually half-understood, but these professional things are completely like a book in heaven for non-professionals, very high, no matter how much he brags, he will not be discovered, "The main thing is to apply some new catalysts, such as transition metal salts, to improve the existing synthesis method - on the one hand, to expand the substrate adaptation range of the original method, on the other hand, to improve the yield, reduce the cost, and make the synthesis more environmentally friendly." ”

Jiang Yucheng still has a little experience on how to brag to non-professionals -- on the one hand, he has to explain it relatively easy to understand, and he has to try his best to explain the application of his research in actual production; on the other hand, he has to introduce a little professional vocabulary appropriately, so that his explanation can not only make his explanation seem less empty and have substance, but also make himself look more compelling and higher in the eyes of others......

Although Jiang Yucheng is bragging, he is not weak at all -- bragging with a realistic background is like a fiction based on reality, and it is also confident. Although Jiang Yucheng is still in the stage of apprenticeship in the laboratory, which is far from doing research on his own, at least, the Daiso project is nominally an undergraduate student, and he conducts research independently under the guidance of his supervisor - and what he actually does in the laboratory is unknown to no one except his brothers and sisters in the same laboratory; moreover, Jiang Yucheng has packaged himself as a good student who loves learning and scientific research - but in fact, he has indeed set up the dream of continuing to study as a graduate student and devoting himself to the field of scientific research.

Although as a scientific research worker, moving bricks in the laboratory is a little tiring, Jiang Yucheng still feels that this life is quite suitable for him - and the direction of organic synthesis itself is also a relatively promising direction, and it will be relatively easy to find a job in the future. As for writing, although Jiang Yucheng still has the dream of becoming the second god Nana, writing what he wants to write with his own pen, and allowing himself to live a comfortable and elegant life, Jiang Yucheng also knows that he has to leave a way back for himself - and the choice of full-time codewords is a bit too risky......

"Then how do you plan to develop Yucheng in the future?" Uncle Zhou asked lightly - but Jiang Yucheng knew that this question was the most important thing.

"That's the case—now my plan is to go to graduate school in the future," Jiang Yucheng said—the previous persuasion of Yu Baochen was actually not groundless. Jiang Yucheng himself has long had plans to go to graduate school in the future -- in Jiang Yucheng's view, the chemistry major is essentially the more expensive it is, and it is simply impossible to find a job with the right major after graduating from the bachelor's degree. After all, basic science is different from chemical engineering, and if the major is the right one, it must develop in the direction of scientific research, and in the field of scientific research, undergraduates obviously have no qualifications to speak, "After all, I hope to engage in scientific research-related work in the future - I am still very interested in this major." ”

"Oh, so are you going to go abroad?"

"There is such a plan-" Jiang Yucheng continued--since Uncle Zhou's opinion is to let Xiaoqi change or go abroad to develop, then it must be right to do what he likes. "After all, if we want to develop our major in depth, we must go abroad to get in touch with some cutting-edge directions, and if we have the experience of working abroad, our resume will look much better after returning to China......

This point is also true -- although the present dynasty has made tremendous progress in the field of engineering, and the gap with Europe and the United States has been greatly narrowed, basic science requires long-term investment and time accumulation, and the current dynasty will not be able to catch up in this regard in a short period of time. Jiang Yucheng's mentor, Lao Xu, was a postdoctoral fellow in the UK and returned to China ten years ago as an imported talent. Jiang Yucheng had revealed his thoughts to Lao Xu before, and Lao Xu immediately expressed his support, and also suggested that Jiang Yucheng be admitted to the department, and then use the quota of Renmin University to send abroad directly to the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom (the school has produced 8 dynamite award winners) to defect to Jiang Yucheng's "ancestor", that is, Lao Xu's original mentor.

Jiang Yucheng himself is really interested in Lao Xu's suggestion - as for the long-distance relationship, Jiang Yucheng definitely can't think about so many things at the moment, so he must pass the current one. If he leaves a good impression of a promising young man on Uncle Zhou's side, Uncle Zhou may no longer object to Xiaoqi's writing-no matter what he does to Xiaoqi, even if he goes abroad in the future, he can take Xiaoqi with him. After all, the writing profession can rely mainly on the Internet to get the job done, and it doesn't need a fixed place to work, it's the same everywhere.

After listening to Jiang Yucheng's answer, Uncle Zhou nodded lightly, as if he was quite satisfied-of course, Jiang Yucheng definitely didn't dare to relax.

"By the way, Xiaoqi seems to usually write some novels or something, do you read them?"

Jiang Yucheng was stunned, didn't Uncle Zhou not like letting Xiaoqi write? Then he asked this, did he want to test his attitude towards Xiaoqi's writing? How should he answer?

"Ah, what's this......" Jiang Yucheng quietly signaled to Xiao Qi with his eyes while delaying time - Xiao Qi and Jiang Yucheng can be regarded as a tacit understanding, after seeing Jiang Yucheng's signal, Xiao Qi's expression did not change, but he quietly stepped on Jiang Yucheng below.

That's right...... Jiang Yucheng understood what Xiao Qi meant, "When the publishing house sent a sample book before, Xiao Qi once showed me a little bit - how to say, I was a little ...... I don't understand it......"

"Oh, that's it......" Uncle Zhou still didn't have any expression.

That's kind of ...... Jiang Yucheng thought secretly - Xiao Qi naturally doesn't have to worry about anything, but Uncle Zhou's side ...... Are you satisfied or dissatisfied with yourself? Jiang Yucheng muttered a little in his heart.
