"Okay, the teacher is treating me to a treat at noon, which is to welcome Xiaozhuang. You all can come together..."
To say that Professor Meng is really not very good at life, as soon as he said this, several other people were influenced by Zhuang Rui.
Although Zhuang Rui's senior brothers and sisters did not speak, the expressions on their faces were not very good-looking. Zhuang Rui knew that the old man spoke very directly, but he did not expect him to be so unreasonable, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Peking University has a cafeteria specifically for faculty and staff. There are also private rooms in it. The skills of the master chefs are not much different from those outside. It is just that there is food but no wine. The atmosphere is not lively. After eating, Zhuang Rui followed
Professor Meng returned to the research institute.
The confused teacher also forgot to introduce the names of several senior brothers to Zhuang Rui, but with Zhuang Rui's sophistication, it was no problem to talk to a few people. After eating a meal, he also found out clearly.
The older one is named Ren Chunqiang, who is a doctoral student of Professor Meng. The other two people, one named Jiang Yi and the other named Wu Zhao, are also doctoral students of Professor Meng, just like Kan Yuhan.
After knowing the degrees that several people were studying for, Zhuang Rui realized what Professor Meng meant by not recruiting master's students.
As for the two undergraduate students Zhuang Rui met last year, they have now graduated. Although they have plans to study for a master's degree, Professor Meng is unwilling to bring another master's degree, so the two have no choice but to leave Beijing to work.
After returning to the institute, Professor Meng asked several students to come to the office and said: "Xiaozhuang, your foundation in Chinese studies is relatively solid, but you have been in the antique shop for a long time, and you have mostly come into contact with some unofficial history.
…
However, in our archaeology, we must pay attention to rigor and restore the true history. We cannot guess out of thin air, so later you can take more basic courses, or you can also audit ancient Chinese history to lay a solid foundation..."
"I understand, teacher..."
Zhuang Rui nodded and agreed. He entered this major because he wanted to learn more theoretical knowledge. In fact, it was not very important to Zhuang Rui who the tutor was. He did not need the tutor to use his influence to help students publish
Articles and *** work.
"Well, I'm going to take Xiao Ren and Jiang Yi on a project recently. If you have any questions, you can ask Xiao Kan. If not, you can just call me..."
Professor Meng thought for a while and then added: "You should learn more about ancient writing. You must master some of these, such as bronze inscriptions. It will be very helpful for identifying unearthed cultural relics. Xiao Kan has good attainments in this area.
Please ask her for advice..."
"Okay, teacher, I will. If nothing happens, I will go get the books and curriculum..."
Zhuang Rui agreed. After studying as a graduate student and postdoctoral fellow, he basically followed the teacher to do projects. However, Zhuang Rui didn't want to get involved in excavation work so quickly. He wanted to get familiar with campus life first and learn more theoretical knowledge.
"Okay, ask Xiao Kan to accompany you. You are not familiar with this, so don't get lost again..."
Professor Meng laughed when he heard this. His care for Zhuang Rui made several other students quite jealous. They were doctoral students and their prospects were much better than Zhuang Rui, a master's student. The teacher was really favoring one over the other.
Zhuang Rui and Kan Yuhan both agreed. After saying goodbye to Professor Meng, they took Zhuang Rui out of the office and prepared to go to the Academic Affairs Office to get Zhuang Rui's course schedule and books.
"Yuhan, Xiaozhuang, wait a moment..."
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the institute, Zhuang Rui's cheap senior brother Jiang Yi rushed out from behind and said: "Xiao Zhuang, we will be in the same school from now on. Senior brother will be a host in the evening and we will find a place to have a meal with the teacher."
We can't drink together, Yuhan, you can go with us tonight..."
"In the evening? Well, let me be the host and invite a few of you..."
Zhuang Rui frowned slightly. He had eaten a lot in various restaurants in this city, but he always felt that the food cooked by his mother was not as delicious. In addition, his wife was still pregnant. If it weren't for Jiang
For the sake of Yi Zhen's invitation, Zhuang Rui really didn't want to go.
To be honest, except for the more stable Ren Chunqiang, Zhuang Rui didn't have much fondness for these senior brothers and sisters. He was several years older than them. When asked to call Zhuang Rui senior brother, Zhuang Rui really couldn't do it.
exit.
What makes Zhuang Rui even more disgusted is that Jiang Yi still calls himself a senior in front of him. He doesn't know where the superiority comes from. Could it be because he is a master's student and they are doctoral students?
"Of course I've invited senior brother, Yuhan, you must come too..."
When Jiang Yi saw Zhuang Rui agreeing, he looked at Kan Yuhan. This made Zhuang Rui feel, why did Jiang Yi really want to invite Kan Yuhan, and he was just for company?
It seems that these senior brothers are deeply influenced by their teacher, and they are not very good at doing things. They just want to use this matter to treat beautiful women to dinner, so don't make it so obvious.
"Okay, but I don't drink, so don't drink too much..."
Kan Yuhan glanced at Zhuang Rui and agreed. She was also a little curious in her heart. Zhuang Rui was just a master's student. Why did the teacher value him so much? There was a vague tendency to train him as a closed disciple.
You should know that Ren Chunqiang, as Professor Meng's most effective doctoral assistant, has never been treated like a big meal by the teacher. At most, he was given a packed lunch at the excavation site.
However, Professor Meng is quite generous with the rewards after the research results are obtained. He never deducts the share that students deserve, and often posts many of them himself.
For example, if you can complete a national scientific examination project and pass the national review, each student who serves as an assistant will eventually receive more than 100,000 yuan, and Professor Meng sometimes gets even more than the student
Still less.
This is many times more powerful than those tutors who usually greet their students but give them a daily subsidy of 100 yuan, which is equivalent to using their students as labor.
Professor Meng's behavior made his students respect him from the bottom of their hearts. As for their usual indifference, they didn't take it seriously.
It's just that Professor Meng is strict in teaching and rarely praises them in front of students. When Zhuang Rui came today, he asked the instructor to take another look at him before he had even started a day of school. This also made several doctoral students feel a little unconvinced.
"Okay, okay, Xiaozhuang, this is my phone number. Be sure to call me when I am at half past five. Let's meet at the school gate..."
Seeing that Kan Yuhan agreed, Jiang Yi suddenly smiled, handed Zhuang Rui a business card, and turned back to the research institute.
"Teacher...Xiao Kan, do you get together every time Professor Meng has new students?"
Zhuang Rui actually called this girl who was younger than him "senior sister", but finally followed Professor Meng's example and called him "Xiao Kan".
Kan Yuhan glanced at Zhuang Rui in slight surprise, but she did not object to the title. As the saying goes, there is no limit to learning, and a master is a teacher. If he has not shown any ability, why should he be called senior sister?
After Kan Yuhan thought for a while, he said: "We are all outsiders, and it is fate that we can become the teacher's students. Moreover, there are many archaeological academic exchanges. In the future, the classmates will also contact each other frequently, so as to promote each other, and it will be beneficial for everyone to carry out their work.
It’s very beneficial…”
"Oh, I see……"
Zhuang Rui nodded, he finally understood that he was trying to accumulate connections.
Because the archeology profession is relatively remote, archaeological departments in various places are generally headed by professionals. If there are students from all over the country, it will indeed be of great help to the work.
Normally, if you get a PhD, your horizons will not be so narrow, but the archeology major is different. If you want to do something else in this major, you will have nothing in common. You can only wallow in this circle, so it is very important to have a good relationship with classmates.
necessary.
After receiving the books and course schedule, Kan Yuhan threw Zhuang Rui at the museum and left. She also had a project to do. She had not been idle during the summer vacation, and now she had no time to accompany Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui also enjoyed his leisure time. After calling home, he carefully looked at the pile of books he had just received. There were many professional books, but there were also some chemistry and history subjects. Unknowingly, there were a few
Hours passed.
"Oh, it's almost six o'clock..."
Zhuang Rui looked at his watch and suddenly remembered that the appointment time was at half past five. He quickly packed up his books, carried them out of the library, took out his cell phone and dialed the phone number Jiang Yi left.
"Xiaozhuang, didn't we make the appointment at half past five? We don't have your mobile phone. We've been waiting at the school gate for a long time..."
After the call was connected, Jiang Yi heard Zhuang Rui's voice and immediately complained.
"Hey, I'm really sorry. I was reading in the library just now and lost track of time. Please wait a moment. I'll be out right away. Well, I'm here to apologize to everyone..."
While Zhuang Rui was talking on the phone, he rushed to the gate of the Beijing University campus. When he arrived at the gate of the school, it was already past six o'clock.
"Xiaozhuang, get in the car, Xiaojiang has booked a place..."
Seeing Zhuang Rui running out of school sweating profusely, Jiang Yi snorted but didn't say anything. Ren Chunqiang smiled and waved to Zhuang Rui to get into his car.
Zhuang Rui took a look and found that these people all drove a car, but the best one was Ren Chunqiang's Guangben, which was worth about 2,780,000 yuan. As for the other three people's cars, they all cost more than 100,000 yuan.
General models.
Zhuang Rui had a very good impression of Ren Chunqiang, but he didn't want to run back and drive home after eating. After hearing this, he said: "Brother Ren, just tell me where, my car is parked over there.
, I’ll just go there by myself in a while, *** I’m familiar with it…”
Ren Chunqiang heard that Zhuang Rui had a car and said, "That's okay. Come to Zuixian Tower over in the West City as soon as possible..."
