Generally speaking, liberal arts projects with a budget of up to 100,000 yuan can be regarded as large-scale projects.

The research fund for this national project of economic history research in the Ming Dynasty amounted to more than 170,000 yuan, which was a very powerful topic at this time.

This research fund is completely handed over to the person in charge of the project, and according to the unspoken rules of the domestic academic circles, the research fund is generally plucked by the goose, and a considerable amount of money is directly put into his own pocket by the person in charge.

Everybody is doing this, and no one is going to say anything.

Lu Zelin handed over such a big topic to Xiao Fei, for a scholar with vulgar thoughts, it was no different from handing over a chance to make a fortune to Xiao Fei.

On the contrary, Xiao Fei didn't know if he was stupid, and he was still shirking vigorously, not ready to accept it.

This situation is really indescribably weird.

But Zhou Chao, who had been standing aside, became more and more anxious the more he listened.

In Zhou Chao's mind, this national-level topic of economic history research in the Ming Dynasty should have been his, but now, Lu Zelin actually wanted to hand over the topic that originally belonged to him to Xiao Fei.

And Xiao Fei is still pushing out.

This made him anxious.

For a while, he completely forgot that he had come to ask Lu Zelin for his guilt, and Zhou Chao blurted out: "Teacher Lu, I don't think it's appropriate for Xiao Fei to be the host of this topic, after all, he is a freshman, and the relevant departments of the state must not be at ease to hand over such a big topic to a freshman to preside, I estimate that Xiao Fei is willing to accept it, and he can't pass it if he submits it for review." ”

Zhou Chao's words actually have a certain amount of truth.

Generally speaking, the host of a large-scale national project must be an associate professor or a doctor, and those with low professional titles, low academic qualifications, and low reputation are not recognized by relevant departments.

Lu Zelin heard Zhou Chao's words, but he was annoyed in his heart.

He is now completely disappointed in Zhou Chao.

Even, Lu Zelin does not intend to continue to regard Zhou Chao as his student.

It's just such a thing that deceives teachers and destroys ancestors. I just made a lot of nonsense in the newspaper, claiming that I wanted to debate with myself, and saying something like "I love my teacher but I love the truth more", and in the blink of an eye, he came to his office and dared to intervene in his own assignment of topics!

It's ridiculous!

Lu Zelin glanced at Zhou Chao and snorted coldly: "I will consider this problem." I don't need you to worry about it! Also, please get out of here now, from now on, you are no longer welcome here! ”

He directly ordered the eviction.

Lu Zelin's words were very resolute.

The meaning is also very clear, from now on, even if the relationship between our master and apprentice is completely broken, there is nothing to talk about.

Xiao Fei didn't speak, he just sneered in his heart.

What he thinks, how he feels. What Zhou Chao has been doing in the past few days is to die by himself. Is a doctor's IQ so low? As soon as his brain is hot, he doesn't care about anything, like a mad dog, and he bites people when he catches them.

Having already done this, it would be naïve to expect forgiveness from the mentor.

"Teacher Lu, I was bewitched a few days ago. So ......" Zhou Chao was shocked when he heard Lu Zelin's words so ruthlessly. I quickly wanted to explain.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Zelin.

"I don't have time to listen to your explanation, please leave immediately! Go, go now! Lu Zelin scolded loudly.

Zhou Chao's face suddenly turned pale, he glanced at Xiao Fei, and glared at Xiao Fei fiercely with his eyes. That means: Hurry up! Do you want to stay here and see me laugh or something?

Xiao Fei sat with a smile and didn't move.

This guy has reached such a point, he still doesn't want to repent, and he still wants to play prestige with himself, it's really hopeless!

Zhou Chao saw that Xiao Fei was sitting and didn't move, and he was also very helpless.

His heart was crossed. decided to ignore Xiao Fei's existence and pleaded with Lu Zelin.

"Teacher Lu, I, I was wrong, you forgive me this time, I am also a little more, I said something that should not be said, but in my heart, you are the same as my father, you are the most respected person in my life!" Zhou Chao choked up as he spoke.

"Whew! When am I a three-year-old? Slap me and give me a date, and I'll believe your words, Zhou Chao, you student, I can see through it, you! You were acting with me before, all your piety is faked, and in your heart, I don't know what kind of image it is! ”

"Forget it! I'm completely disappointed in you, you don't want to act, that's it, your doctoral dissertation has passed, you can do whatever you want! I can't pretend to be a great god like you in the temple here, let's go, let's go far away! I can't see it out of my mind, and I'll thank you. ”

Lu Zelin said coldly.

Hearing what Lu Zelin said, Zhou Chao's face became even paler, his knees weakened, and with a "poof", he knelt down in front of Lu Zelin.

"Teacher, I, I'm confused this time, why don't you forgive me? Have you forgotten? In the past five years, I have been a cow and a horse for you, you have done research on a topic, and I need to check the information, I have been soaking in the library for you day and night to flip through the books, for you, my hands are even worn out by the books, Mr. Lu, have you forgotten all this? ”

Zhou Chao said, and began to wipe his tears.

Lu Zelin looked at Zhou Chao, who was kneeling in front of him, tears unbridled, and his heart was soft.

He thought, young people are easy to make mistakes, maybe after such an experience, Zhou Chao will really change his ways, right?

He also thought that during the time that Zhou Chao followed him to study, Zhou Chao had indeed done a lot of things for himself.

Lu Zelin sighed.

He was going to forgive Zhou Chao.

Xiao Fei on the side had been observing Zhou Chao, and he saw that the eyes of this guy who kept pouring out tears faintly flashed with a vicious and humiliating light.

This is a cunning wolf.

He saw that the current situation was very bad for him, so he pretended to be pitiful, and if he gained power one day in the future, he would definitely show his sharp teeth and bite people again.

A person can endure for many years without revealing his true colors, just this scheming is terrible enough.

Therefore, Xiao Fei did not intend to ask Lu Zelin to forgive Zhou Chao.

"Mr. Lu, it suddenly occurred to me that it is not bad to accept this topic of 'Economic History of the Ming Dynasty', so it is better to leave this topic to me to preside." Xiao Fei suddenly interjected beside him.

At this time, Lu Zelin sighed and was about to say the words of forgiveness for Zhou Chao.

Hearing Xiao Fei suddenly say this, his attention was distracted, Lu Zelin was bent on promoting Xiao Fei and wanting Xiao Fei to sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire of historical research.

He had repeatedly persuaded Xiao Fei to accept this topic, but Xiao Fei did not agree.

Now, when he heard Xiao Fei say that he was willing to accept it, he was naturally overjoyed.

"Yes, that's good! Xiao Fei, don't worry, I will help you with this topic, if you have any questions and difficulties, you can find me! Lu Zelin said.

When Zhou Chao heard this, he was in a hurry.

He came to find Lu Zelin, one was to stabilize Lu Zelin and ask for his forgiveness, and the other was to fight for the large-scale national topic of "economic history of the Ming Dynasty".

Now, this big subject is actually flying away.

How could he tolerate this happening right in front of his eyes.

"Mr. Lu, this topic must not be handed over to Xiao Fei to preside, I think I am more suitable than him to be the host of this topic, if you must hand over this subject to Xiao Fei to preside, I think, it will definitely destroy this topic." Zhou Chao blurted out.

After saying that, he regretted it.

Now, it seems that Lu Zelin hasn't forgiven himself yet, right?

It's going to be bad if you express your intentions so bluntly.

"Teacher Lu, I'm sorry, I, I ......" Zhou Chao wanted to remedy.

However, after Lu Zelin listened to Zhou Chao's words, the little softness just now was all gone. Through this sentence, Lu Zelin can be regarded as seeing through Zhou Chao's careful thinking.

"All right! Zhou Chao, this topic has nothing to do with you, if you want to host it, don't think about it! You let me go! Get out now! Don't cry and pretend to be pitiful here! I can see through the essence of you, a student, through this incident. Lu Zelin stood up, pointed at Zhou Chao and said angrily.

Zhou Chao was dumbfounded.

He glanced at Xiao Fei on the side and understood.

Xiao Fei suddenly said such a sentence just now, in fact, he was calculating himself! I hate that I am so uncalm, and as soon as the bait came down, I couldn't wait to bite the hook.

With more than one remorse, Zhou Chao was embarrassed and indignant.

He knew that if he wanted to save something today, with Xiao Fei by his side, it was probably hopeless. He slumped up from the ground.

After thinking about it, Zhou Chao bowed deeply to Lu Zelin.

"Teacher Lu, then I'll go first."

He regained his pitiful expression, and felt that he would find time to play the emotional card in the future, and then try to redeem Lu Zelin's trust in him.

"Get out! Never come to see me again! Lu Zelin said angrily.

Zhou Chao turned around and went out with a disgraced face, and came down from the upper floor, and when the cold wind blew, he felt like a garbage and no one paid attention to him.

He was a doctor from the Department of History of Peking University, and a young expert in Ming history who originally had a bright future, but because he was too impetuous, he got himself into such an unbearable situation.

All of this is thanks to Xiao Fei.

The culprit is also Wang Yanbin, a damn journalist.

Zhou Chao thought viciously in his heart.

Someday, I'll get my revenge back, and someday I'll get ahead! One day, I will stand on the pinnacle of success and be proud of all of you!

He shrunk back and walked towards his bedroom, where he was going to hide and lick his wounds, and then think about what to do in the future.

Towards the downstairs of the dormitory, his pager rang out.

He took the pager in his hand and saw that it was Wang Yanbin calling: If you have something to discuss, call back quickly! Seeing this, a vicious aura arose from Zhou Chao's guts. (To be continued......)
