The next day, Qi Min came to the laboratory, and in the morning he had been contacting the company doing the cynomolgus monkey research group about the experiment, and at noon he had a takeout with Wang Xin and Chen Linyou. As soon as the takeout was finished, the two of them hurried to catch up with their experiments, and Qi Min came to her office, which she hadn't used for a long time, and waited for the fourth-year undergraduate.

At two o'clock in the appointed time, this senior named Bai Rong really came. To say that this young man also looks quite individual, he wears a baseball shirt and jeans in the winter, and his hair is permed and curly, but it looks a little messy as if he hasn't had a haircut for months.

Qi Min asked him to sit down, and then asked him about his basic situation first.

Biology Department, senior year, this is all known information. There is no subdivision of majors in the science department of China Technical University at the undergraduate level, but the courses he has taken before are all cell-molecular, and he does not know much about bioinformatics.

Qi Min asked, "Then why do you want to do your graduation project in the bioinformatics laboratory?" ”

The young man named Bai Rong replied, "I just want to find out...... Computer technology. ”

"Do you want to transfer to CS (Computer Science)?" Qi Min guessed casually.

The young man hesitated, but nodded.

It is understandable that students want to switch to CS in biology, after all, biology is really energy-consuming and unprofitable. Qi Min didn't have any other opinions on this, but said: "I don't know what the requirements are for transferring to CS, but you have only taken the compulsory course of C language, is it a little difficult to transfer to CS now?" ”

Bai Rong hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I want to get in touch with bioinformatics first...... I just tried to see if I could do CS-related research. ”

Qi Min thought about it for a while, although he wanted to do dry experiments, but the dry experiments on her subject were the core part, and she really couldn't let others do them. In addition to the dry experiments in the core part, the rest of the wet experiments Wang Xin and Chen Linyou have enough manpower to do EPS cells, and he has not learned animal experiments, so it is also difficult to arrange for him.

So according to the original plan, take this young man to run the "Nimbus" computing center.

Qi Min said, "Hmm...... In this case, the informatics experiment part of our group is quite complicated and is unlikely to teach you how to do it in the short term. But we have cooperation with researcher Zhou Xiaoshan from the 'Nimbus' Computing Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and we need someone to contact them. I've been working on this lately, so you can follow me a few times first. Bioinformatics in our school is still relatively weak, but the 'Nimbus' center has a lot of projects in this area. I thought it might be helpful for you to find out. ”

Qi Min said it very reasonably, and it was within her authority as the PI to arrange for the undergraduate work that had been completed. Bai Rong probably also felt that it was not difficult to run the project with the teacher, and he could still gain knowledge after the water passed, so he also agreed.

This matter hit it off, Qi Min added Bai Rong's WeChat, pulled him to the group in the laboratory, and then let him go back.

——

In the afternoon of the next day, people from the company in Yunnan first came to Beijing and stepped on the "Nimbus" computing center. Qi Min summoned her new undergraduate Bai Rong, and then took the senior out of the school to take the subway.

It took more than 10 minutes to get out of the lab, ride your own bicycle to the school gate, and then change to a shared bicycle to ride to the subway station.

When he went down to the subway station, Qi Min was about to enter the station, and Bai Rong said that he didn't have a bus card.

Qi Min couldn't quite understand: "How can you not have a bus card?" ”

In a little-known school like China Technical University, there are generally not many students from other places who apply for the undergraduate examination, and Bai Rong is also a local. The local students did not have local bus cards, which Qi Min did not expect at all.

"Teacher Qi, after I graduated from high school, I rarely took the bus and subway." Bai Rong replied honestly.

Qi Min casually wanted to ask why he didn't take the bus and subway, and suddenly realized that it was probably because he didn't have to go to and from school every day to go to college, and he usually went home either by riding a bicycle close to his home, or by car. However, looking at her again, she is so mixed up that she is a PI, renting a house more than ten kilometers away, and she is reluctant to buy a car.

"I'll lend you a card." Qi Min took the initiative to ignore the question of why he didn't take the bus and subway.

Bai Rong took her card and asked a little confusedly, "Then what do you use?" ”

"It's okay to swipe the QR code of the APP in the subway." Qi Min took out his mobile phone and opened the Beijing Metro "100 million pass" APP, and scanned it on the turnstile of the subway station.

(Note: The original "Easy Access" APP was updated to "Billion Access", and I only found out today...... I usually take the subway and ignore the update)

She takes the subway every day and naturally masters various ways to buy subway tickets. Bai Rong swiped her card into the station and followed Qi Min down to the platform floor.

I finally got on the subway, but naturally there were no seats. Bai Rong stood next to Qi Min and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Qi, it will take a long time to go to the 'Nimbus' Computing Center, right?" ”

"An hour and a half." Qi Min replied.

"Why can't you go by car?" Bai Rong then asked.

Qi Min was embarrassed to say that she didn't have the money to buy a car, so she just made up: "Drive...... It's a hassle, and I won't drive it. ”

Not knowing how to drive is a good reason. It's not surprising that young female PIs don't know how to drive, after all, "scientists" are a special group of people, and there are always some special fetishes in the eyes of ordinary people. Even if Qi Min said that she just likes to take the subway, I'm afraid no one will doubt the authenticity of this.

Bai Rong had no choice but to resign himself to continuing to stand and take the subway. Qi Min didn't know if this young man could drive, but even if he could drive and Qi Min had a car, she didn't dare to use the undergraduates as temporary drivers.

The PI of the lab took the subway with the undergraduates, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, especially since they had to sit for so long. Qi Min felt that she was not familiar with Bai Rong, and there was nothing to talk about due to the difference in identity, so he wanted to find something to do.

She woke up the screen of her mobile phone, and by surprise, she clicked on the chicken mobile game, and then was surprised to find that Zhang Zhiyong was still online. It seems that this young talent from the Department of Chemistry is hiding in the office all day, and I am afraid that it is convenient to secretly play with his mobile phone.

Qi Min casually clicked to watch Zhang Zhiyong, and then saw Bai Rong glancing at her mobile phone screen from the afterglow.

Playing games in front of undergraduates, it doesn't seem to have a good effect, but there is nothing else to do if you don't play games. Qi Min felt that the embarrassing atmosphere of maintaining silence was more harmful than playing games, and still asked, "Bai Rong, are you playing with chicken?" ”

Perhaps it sounded too much like a fishing question, and the young man hesitantly replied, "Uh...... Sometimes...... ......."

"If you want to have fun, let's team up and play a game?" Qi Min calmly proposed.

Bai Rong looked at her in surprise, and then decisively took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket......
