Chapter 26: A Mentor and a Friend

The alarm went off, Zhao Anran got up to freshen up, and put on light makeup. In the past few years of work, she has developed the habit of going out to put on makeup, and she feels that being a teacher not only includes dress, but also elegant makeup.

She picked out a pair of dark blue jeans with a long blouse with black and white striped knitwear and black organza, and then combed her hair with a half-ball. After everything was ready, she walked to the laboratory with her computer and books on her back, and had a simple and nutritious breakfast in the cafeteria: a hard-boiled egg and a cup of millet porridge. After the age of 30, women pay more and more attention to healthy breakfast.

At 8:30 a.m., Zhao Anran arrived at the door of the laboratory on time, she had not yet entered her fingerprint permission, and she could not open the glass door. It just so happened that Yuqiu and Fang Xiaomei also arrived, they swiped their fingerprints and took Zhao Anran into the office, Yuqiu didn't forget to introduce, "Senior sister, this is Fang Xiaomei, we are both in the second year of research, and she just went to buy experimental equipment when you came yesterday." ”

Zhao Anran looked at Fang Xiaomei, tall, shoulder-length hair, a melon seed face with a little light makeup under the glasses with transparent borders, a pale pink lipstick, and a little bit of jasper. "Sister Xiaomei, good morning!"

"Senior sister, good morning." Fang Xiaomei is completely self-acquainted, "Our Sichuan girls are very straightforward, what does the senior sister need, just tell us!" ”

"It's Pepper, sweet hot girl?" Zhao Anran joked with her, this junior sister looked very funny.

The three of them entered the office with a smile and a smile, and each took his place.

At 8:35 a.m., Zhao Anran just got up and was about to pour water, when he saw Professor Li and Liu Hanlin walking into the corridor together. Zhao Anran took a deep breath and walked over directly without putting down the cup. She didn't know why she was inexplicably nervous when she saw Professor Li, but Professor Li had always been approachable.

Professor Lai, who has just turned 50, looks energetic, wears no glasses, has a stilted hairstyle, wears a navy blue jacket, black slacks and black leather shoes, and carries a computer bag on his shoulder. He doesn't look like a professor in his image, but more like an engineer.

"Good morning, Professor Lai! Hello Mr. Liu! Zhao Anran greeted politely.

"Hello, Zhao Anran." Professor Li smiled at Zhao Anran very kindly, "I have been busy before, and I couldn't talk to you properly, but you just came to the laboratory today, so come to my office in 10 minutes!" ”

"Okay, Professor Li!" Zhao Anran acted like an obedient child, but Liu Hanlin snickered on the side.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Anran took a pen and notebook and knocked on the door of Professor Li's office.

"Come in!" Professor Li stared at the computer, and said without shifting his gaze: "Zhao Anran, you sit down for a while, and I will reply to an email, and it will be fine immediately." ”

Professor Li quickly finished the work at hand and turned to face Zhao Anran.

"First of all, I would like to welcome you to join our research team, and I know that you have paid a lot of money to come to our PhD program. So I hope you can achieve something in the next four years and graduate successfully. There are many research directions in our team, Mr. Liu Hanlin gave you a general introduction, right? ”

"Yes, Professor Lai. Yesterday, Mr. Liu showed me the platform of our laboratory. ”

"Well, that's good. After all, you are studying for a PhD across disciplines, so you can basically say that you are starting from scratch. I'll give you two weeks to familiarize yourself with our experimental platform and read the relevant scientific literature, find the research direction you are interested in, and then we will determine your research direction! If you have any questions, you can always ask me to discuss, and if I am not in the office, you can also consult Mr. Liu Hanlin or Dr. Xu Yongfei first. Of course, maybe it will be more convenient for you to find Liu Hanlin, who told me that you are his high school classmate. ”

"Okay, Professor Lai. After all, I am a freshman, and the students who entered the lab before me are the ones I ask for advice and learn from. ”

"Diligent and inquisitive, rigorous in learning. By the way, you don't have to call me Professor in the future, just call me Teacher Li. ”。

Professor Li gives people the impression of being easy-going and majestic, as if he is a teacher born for scientific research.
