Chapter 35: Yang Hexin's Visit (Ask for Collection)
August 3rd is an ordinary day, not an important traditional holiday. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Early in the morning, Zhou Chen received a call from his mentor Yang Hexin.
"Xiao Chen, the train is about to arrive at the station, if you have time, come to the train station to pick me up." Yang Hexin's hearty voice came from the other end of the phone.
When he received the call, Zhou Chen was surprised for a long time and asked, "Professor Yang, have you come to Taizhou?" ”
"Yes, there is going to be a seminar in Nanjing recently, and I think I'm going south anyway, so I'll just go to you." Yang Hexin said.
"Okay, I'll come right over." Zhou Chen immediately agreed, this was the first time Yang Hexin visited Zhou Chen's home, and after telling the family the news that Professor Yang Hexin was coming, he immediately drove to the train station.
Parking the car in the parking lot near the train station, Zhou Chen followed the flow of people to the exit of the station, which was already crowded with people greeting relatives and friends.
Zhou Chen looked at the time, and in a few minutes the high-speed train would arrive at Taizhou Station.
Soon, the high-speed train arrived on time, and the crowd of black people dragging large bags of luggage rushed towards the exit.
"Professor Yang!" Zhou Chen's eyesight was very sharp, and he quickly discovered Yang Hexin's figure.
Hearing someone calling himself, Yang Hexin followed the voice and looked over, and also saw Zhou Chen.
"Professor Yang, why don't you notify me in advance if you want to come over?" Zhou Chen came to Yang Hexin's side, and then took Yang Hexin's luggage.
……
On the way back, Zhou Chen learned about Yang Hexin's purpose for going south.
Yang Hexin was one of the invited experts at the 2016 Symposium on Astrophysics and Related Physics Frontiers to be held in Nanjing, so he rushed from Beijing a few days in advance.
As for why he came to Taizhou by detour, he mainly came to Zhou Chen.
"What, let me go to Beijing Normal University to study for a doctorate with Professor Zhao Fengxue?"
Zhou Chen was pouring tea for Yang Hexin, and after listening to the mentor's intention, he paused and looked at Yang Hexin with some surprise.
"Xiao Chen, this is a decision that Dean Liang Zhiyuan and I have thought about for a long time before making a decision, I believe you also know that being able to study for a doctorate with Professor Zhao Fengxue is very beneficial to your own future, and I am here this time...... It's just to do your job. ”
Yang Hexin had a smile on his face.
Zhou Chen nodded silently, he understood the meaning of Yang Hexin's words.
In fact, when he heard that he was going to study for a doctorate with Professor Zhao Fengxue of Beijing Normal University, he was also very surprised. Although he had hesitated to take a Ph.D. or get a PhD or something in the past, this option had been ruled out by him since the moment he got the balls.
This stems from the change in identity, at this time he is no longer the Zhou Chen who was busy with life in the past, now he does not need and does not need to spend time on this, if there is extra time, he should think more about how to deal with the threat from the Fei Luo civilization.
Doctoral ...... It's getting more and more distant for him.
So he would never have thought that Professor Yang Hexin would rush to his house for his Ph.D., and the object of his Ph.D. study was Professor Zhao Fengxue of Beijing Normal University.
Speaking of Professor Zhao Fengxue, it is famous.
He was the Vice Dean of the Graduate School and the Dean of the Department of Physics at Beijing Normal University, and is now a professor in the Department of Physics, a doctoral supervisor in theoretical physics, and the chairman of the Chinese Society of Gravitational and Relativistic Astrophysics. He has been engaged in the teaching and research of theoretical physics for a long time, and has published more than 100 papers.
When Zhou Chen was still a graduate student, the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences invited Professor Zhao Fengxue to give a lecture, and he was fortunate to listen to the whole process at that time, and he admired Professor Zhao Fengxue's knowledge.
Being able to study for a PhD with him is indeed incomparably attractive. It's not about the amount of knowledge, it's just about admiration for the elderly!
"Xiao Chen, you are my proud disciple, and you have a talent that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, Dean Liang Zhiyuan and I agree that studying for a doctorate is the best choice for you. Of course, it's a big deal, and the final choice is up to you......"
Yang Hexin didn't say anything to death, after all, if he said a thousand things and ten thousand, the choice was all in Zhou Chen's own place.
It's just that the thought that I want to "invite" a student to study for a Ph.D. makes me feel ridiculous.
But thinking of the conversation between himself and Liang Zhiyuan, he suddenly felt that he had a great mission on his shoulders.
All this is to pave the way for China's science, and he has the same strong hope as Liang Zhiyuan in his heart, hoping that there will be a few more leaders with international influence among the young generation of China.
For this purpose, it doesn't matter what he gives.
At dinner time in the evening, Zhou Chen's mother Yang Xiying specially cooked a table of good dishes because of Yang Hexin's arrival, and the table was full of dishes with flavor, which was really hard to find in the world.
At the dinner table, Zhou Chuming and Yang Hexin pushed the cup to change the lamp, staggered, and took advantage of the interest Yang Hexin to say the matter of recommending Zhou Chen to study for a doctorate, which intentionally or unintentionally boasted about Zhou Chen's talent, as if not studying for a doctorate with his talent is a kind of violent behavior.
Of course, the parents were happy to see their children being praised, and when they heard it, they threw themselves under the disciple of Professor Zhao Fengxue, a giant in the academic world, which immediately attracted the approval of Zhou Chuming and Yang Xiying, and even Zhou Luo's little girl's eyes flashed with encouragement.
Well, this is starting to break down from within the family, and for Yang Hexin's obviously deliberate approach, Zhou Chen seems to know him again, and he doesn't know what to say.
This old man can be so shameless.
Catching a glimpse of Zhou Chen's glances, Yang Hexin couldn't help but blush when he thought that his dignified professor was going to use such an unbearable trick, but fortunately, the wine was booming, but it was impossible to tell whether he was on the top of the wine or because he was ashamed.
"Natural science...... It is a part of human civilization and a catalyst for the progress of civilization and society, and physics has played a pivotal role in the progress of civilization and society throughout the past few hundred years. ”
"Scientific research is climbed like a ladder from generation to generation, and it is impossible to go up all at once. Therefore, first of all, we should chase a good mentor and follow him to a higher place, so that the starting point of scientific research will be relatively high. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Chen again, as if telling Zhou Chen that he would not lose money by following Professor Zhao Fengxue to study for a doctorate.
But seeing that Zhou Chen hadn't expressed his position yet, he wasn't in a hurry, and released a killer feature with a smile.
"Of course, studying for a PhD is also a matter of caution, after all, it has been three years since I studied for a PhD, and how many times can I have a teenager in my life, and I also understand those who obviously have the ability and should go to study for a Ph.D. in the end but do not embark on this path. No, in order to let Xiao Chen have no worries, Dean Liang and I went to Beijing Normal University to fight for it and got a place as a lecturer for Xiao Chen. ”
"As long as Xiao Chen is willing to go to Beijing Normal University to study for a doctorate with Professor Zhao Fengxue, Beijing Normal University will officially hire Xiao Chen as a lecturer in the Department of Physics."
This treatment not only moved Zhou Chuming and Yang Xiying, but even Zhou Chen showed a surprised expression.
Don't look at the position of just a lecturer, you must know that the lecturer in colleges and universities is already second only to the title of associate professor, Zhou Chen's friend Tang Wenxin also went to Beijing Normal University to teach, but he was only a teaching assistant at the initial stage.
Generally speaking, colleges and universities are encouraging their lecturers to take the PhD, and there are more and more signs of this. However, it is relatively rare for Zhou Chen's main business to study for a doctorate, and the status of a lecturer is a bonus.
It can also be seen how hard Yang Hexin and Liang Zhiyuan worked hard to let him go to Beijing Normal University to study for a doctorate.
With such careful consideration of all his retreats, so that he had no worries, to be honest, Zhou Chen couldn't help but have an urge to die as a confidant. In front of such a good teacher, does he still have a reason to refuse?
"Hehe, how to choose your family and think about it, old man, I'll go back and rest first."
Seeing that the fire was almost over, Yang Hexin stood up slightly drunk and walked outside.
"Professor Yang, I'll send you over."
Zhou Chen reacted, with Yang Hexin's current state, how dare he let Yang Hexin go back alone, if something happened on the way, he couldn't afford this responsibility, so he got up and sent Yang Hexin to the hotel that was fixed.
After a night of silence, Yang Hexin came to Zhou Chen's house again early the next morning.
"Xiao Chen, how did you discuss it with your family, do you want to go to Beijing Normal University to study for a doctorate?" Yang Hexin asked with a smile.
Zhou Chen glanced at his mentor and said helplessly: "You have always encouraged my family to put pressure on me, can I not go?" ”
After Yang Hexin left last night, Zhou Chen was coerced by the whole family, this Beijing Normal University, he has to go if he doesn't go!
"Haha!" Yang Hexin laughed heartily, looking like he didn't expect.
"It's good if you agree, so that I can go back and report to Dean Liang." As he was talking, Yang Hexin suddenly seemed to remember something, and took out a piece of paper that was a little crumpled from his pocket.
"I almost forgot, although after the efforts of Dean Liang and me, but Zhao Fengxue is not an academic giant brought by everyone, this is the question he gave you, you take a look, I have time to write an article in this area for him, it is considered an introductory exam......"
Zhou Chen's brows furrowed slightly, he knew that things were not so simple.
"Simultaneous transitivity?"
Zhou Chen saw that there were only five words of handwritten cursive on the paper, but as for what kind of "simultaneous transmission" it was, he didn't mention a word.
