Chatting with Zhang Zhiyong, Qi Min knew a lot about what happened before she entered the school.

For example, the story of the director and his two ex-wives, and how he turned a colleague's student into his third wife. For example, a big PI has to ask for three or four more doctoral students from colleagues every year, and the laboratory is full of intensive labor and assembly line operations. Another example is a very handsome male PI who just came this year, and it is said that he has an unusual relationship with his doctoral supervisor, and after graduation, he was arranged to come to their school just to hide his eyes.

Qi Min couldn't believe it when he heard it, how many people are there in the Department of Chemistry, why did so many things happen?

"You said that Bai Kunda has a relationship with his mentor, is this true?" Qi Min lowered his voice and asked, "Didn't you say that his mentor was quite powerful?" ”

"Awesome is awesome, but middle-aged divorced women also have personal needs, don't you say?" Zhang Zhiyong said seriously, "This matter is no longer news in our department, Bai Kunda himself said that he came here to hang a title." ”

"I'm ...... Is there anything like this? Qi Min couldn't help frowning, it took her a long time to find such a teaching position, and for those who have a doorway, it is just to hide people's eyes and ears and hang a title. Then why didn't he just marry his mentor? ”

"That's not going to work." This time, Zhang Zhiyong also had to lower his voice, "Divorce can be explained as attaching importance to scientific research and ignoring the family, which causes conflicts, but it is difficult to be accepted by the public if you marry your own students." ”

"Then you Director Li ......" Qi Min was a little strange.

"Director Li is in our school, and no one cares about the small place." Zhang Zhiyong said, "The first-class schools are different. ”

That's right, otherwise why would they arrange to hide it from people in their school. It's such a mess.

"By the way, I heard that a female student in our department who is a cell PI has been transferred, and some of the students have a relationship with the boss before passing on her." Qi Min also tried to say a related one, "Most of it was a trouble?" ”

"Not necessarily, it's also possible to cover people's eyes." Zhang Zhiyong said, "Although there is no clear rule, the convention in the Faculty of Science is that PIs cannot develop romantic relationships with their students. If it's someone else's student, there's probably no problem. ”

It's really toxic. Qi Min raised his forehead: "Your circle is really messy...... No, I'm really messed up. ”

"Well, it's good to get used to it." Zhang Zhiyong said calmly, "There is also a source that is not very reliable, Dean Wang is still unmarried, it may be GAY." ”

Hearing this, Qi Min almost didn't squirt out the spinach egg drop soup: "What? ”

"It's hearsay." Zhang Zhiyong said, "Legend has it that he had a boyfriend when he was studying in the UK, who was British. ”

"Great Britain...... That's easy to understand. Qi Min snickered. Because of certain TV series and pop culture, many people call Britain a "rotten country". "And what about when he returns home?"

"I don't say anything about it at school, but I think I still have contact with people in the GAY circle outside." Zhang Zhiyong also said with a smile, "If he was really GAY, he probably wouldn't have come out in school." This is still unacceptable in China. ”

"How many years has this been...... Ten years, right? Qi Min couldn't help but sigh.

"Sixteen years." Zhang Zhiyong said, "But there is no way, right?" If it is exposed, he will not be the dean. ”

"Alas, it's miserable." Qi Min said in a low voice.

"What's so bad about this?" Zhang Zhiyong asked her rhetorically, "Those who studied abroad more than 20 years ago are not at the same level as us at all. If nothing else, you just returned to China this year, do you think you can become a dean in 16 years? ”

"I can't." Qi Min has never hesitated on this issue.

"Therefore, man cannot be divorced from the times." Zhang Zhiyong said calmly, "Those who could study for a doctorate twenty or thirty years ago have now become leaders in the domestic industry, but the dean still can't be GAY." In the future, although homosexuality may not be a problem in China, it is not possible to become a dean with a doctorate and publish a few articles. ”

By saying this, he raised a simple gossip about Dean Wang Xinghai to the level of social development trends. But it may not be a bad thing that ordinary doctors can't be deans now. Twenty or thirty years ago, when the social class gap widened dramatically, the people who could study for a Ph.D. at that time were much better off than the returnees and PhDs today.

However, Qi Min still said quite sincerely: "Having said that, I think you have a good chance of becoming a dean in the future." The previous dean was the Department of Mathematics, Dean Wang was the Department of Physics, and then it was the turn of the Department of Chemistry. ”

This can be regarded as a compliment, but Zhang Zhiyong didn't show much pleasure when he heard it: "It's not realistic." The scientific research ability of the students recruited by the school is too weak, and the more sophisticated the research, the more difficult it is to carry out. I have to follow the subject every day, and even the experiment is carried out by hand. Chemistry, a labor-intensive subject, is definitely not going to work. ”

"You can't compare your current students with your classmates in the PhD lab, this school is not of the same grade." Qi Min was still tolerant on this issue, "I didn't do experiments when I first entered the laboratory, and I was brought out after a year." ”

"That's the seniors leading the juniors, you can't let the boss take it all the time, right?" ZHANG ZHIYONG SIGHED, "IF THAT'S THE CASE, WHAT AM I STILL DOING AS A PI, GO TO A BIG GROUP TO BE A POSTDOC AND BE ABLE TO SEND PAPERS AND MAKE MONEY." ”

Hearing him say this, Qi Min couldn't help but be silent. As PI, she has been taking Wang Xin and Chen Linyou to do experiments, and even took out the more difficult parts to do with Ke Li in addition to their experiments. When PI treats her like this, isn't it a bit too wrong? The salary of the postdoctoral degree of the large research group is two or three times that of her, and she is really "dedicated" to be both a PI and a postdoctoral editor with a career editor here.

Alas, there is also a big gap between people who are PIs. The bigwigs of other first-class schools can arrange their lovers to be PIs in their schools, and Director Li of the Department of Chemistry has been married to two students, and even Zhang Zhiyong, who complained that being a PI is not as good as being a doctor, has sent SCIENCE, and she has nothing here...... Even immediately have to find a way to solve the problem of Anton and Mimi.

Thinking of Anton and Mimi, Qi Min glanced at his phone, and it was already half past seven in the chat.

"I might have to go first." Qi Min said.

"Something else to do at night?" Zhang Zhiyong seemed to just ask casually.

Originally, this kind of etiquette between colleagues can be answered casually. But Qi Min now knows that Zhang Zhiyong actually has a hobby of gossip, and let him know that his boyfriend is a takeaway delivery and a girl who picked it up, most of which is the rhythm of the whole hospital's publicity. So he cautiously said, "It's nothing, it's just going home on the weekend." ”

According to the normal understanding, the meaning of this sentence should refer to the fact that she usually lives in a rented house in the city, and the house she lives in with her parents in the suburbs on weekends is called "going home".

"You're a local? There's money. Zhang Zhiyong teased her, "There is also a young man in my laboratory who is a local, and he was admitted to this school because he didn't want to go to other places to study for a doctorate." ”

Qi Min didn't expect him to even gossip about this kind of information, and he didn't dare to explain that she was a local but still very poor, so he hurriedly left.

Walking on the way to the subway station, Qi Min felt that this was really ruining. A great god like Zhang Zhiyong actually likes gossip, and his image is completely subverted.
