After graduating with a master's degree, I joined a teaching and training institution to earn wages. With the belief of working as a worker, I had the courage to work overtime and moved forward indomitably.
Ten years have passed.
Youth is gone, and the upper body is greasy; the eight-pack abs are hidden by the fat belly; the black hair is combed into a Mediterranean style.
A thirty-year-old soul resides in a fifty-year-old body.
The small house reaped by the hard work of youth is still burdened with a huge loan for more than 20 years.
Over time, the education and training industry collapsed.
Salary cuts and layoffs are coming one after another...
While walking on the road at a loss, a truck that ran a red light roared past.
This is Wang Hao's life.
At the last moment under the wheel, he looked back on his life and suddenly felt extremely regretful.
Why did you choose to work when you could continue studying for a Ph.D.?
If I continue to study for a Ph.D., maybe I can become a lecturer in a university?
Be a researcher?
Life will definitely be different!
…
When his mind turned again, Wang Hao found that he was standing on the roof of the building. The scenery he saw when he looked down was very interesting, and he had a panoramic view of everything on the busy campus.
Then he saw a foot.
A dangling foot!
He panicked.
One foot is already hanging in the air, and the other foot is standing on the ground, trembling and already on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, my mind went blank.
There was a shout from behind, "Wang Hao, what are you doing, don't—"
"No--"
The second life-and-death crisis is right around the corner!
Wang Hao didn't have time to look back. He gritted his teeth and adjusted his weight backwards, squeezing onto the people behind him and sitting on the ground.
"Hoo, ho--"
He just took a few breaths in fear, and the people behind him were already running over.
Professor Zhou Qingyuan?
A name suddenly appeared in my mind.
Zhou Qingyuan nervously grabbed Wang Hao's arm and said excitedly, "Wang Hao, don't be like this! You have to be more open-minded!"
"We all know that it's not your problem, it's not your problem!"
"If you die, they will not feel guilty, but will be happy. From now on, there will be no way to verify it!"
"You have to cheer up!"
"Think about your parents and your family. You were only in your twenties!"
"You are a genius, ever since you were a child!"
"Calm down~~"
"..."
At the same time, a wave of memories came flooding back.
Wang Hao was a little dazed. He took a deep breath and said seriously, "Teacher Zhou, can you please let me be quiet for a while."
"I have figured it out and will not seek death again!"
"well!"
Zhou Qingyuan said the word "good" twice in a row, but still stood by and stared at him, holding his sleeve tightly with his hand, obviously worried that he would still be confused.
Wang Hao sat on the ground and thought carefully about what happened.
At this moment, he understood!
He has traveled through time!
Not only did he travel through time, but he also traveled to a genius. Because of his special intelligence, he skipped grades continuously and was admitted to Donggang University, a prestigious domestic school, at the age of only fifteen.
At the age of twenty-three, he graduated from Donggang University with a doctorate in mathematics.
A doctor in his early twenties would never dare to even think about it!
Such outstanding talented graduates were directly given the opportunity to stay in school.
At the same time, I was also invited to participate in a key project of the Materials Laboratory, developing ‘super compressive alloy materials’, and my job was to do model analysis of experimental data.
I thought it was a good opportunity, but it turned out to be a big deal after only three months -
Early data analysis error!
The early data was wrong, which meant that the three-month experimental investment was completely wasted.
Materials research is a money-burning game. The "Super Stress Resistant Alloy Materials" project is at a critical moment of heavy investment, with losses exceeding 10 million in three months.
More importantly, the data error is a very low-level error, and there is no way to explain it to the superior.
The predecessor was pushed out.
On the one hand, he is responsible for model analysis related to experimental data, and on the other hand, he is just an 'intern assistant researcher' in the laboratory and a Ph.D. who has just stayed in school.
When the incident broke out, my predecessor thought it was his fault, but after carefully examining the work content, he found that there was no problem at all.
Then the reason is obvious, there is a problem with the initial data from the laboratory.
He was just pushed out to take the blame.
As a result, my predecessor lost his job and could no longer stay at Donggang University.
Zhou Qingyuan was a professor whom my predecessor met when he was a graduate student. He admired his predecessor very much. After learning what happened, he introduced him to work at Xihai University.
An old professor who was rehired from Xihai University was hospitalized due to a sudden illness, and no one took over the courses he was responsible for.
My predecessor came to Xihai University and signed a temporary employment contract.
After coming to Xihai University, my predecessor had been thinking about the experiment and was always in a depressed mood.
Until the day before, the experimental issue was in the news.
There is no progress in material research for three months, which is actually quite normal. However, 'data errors' are very low-level, so low-level that they can attract a lot of netizens to curse the person who made the mistake.
“The country’s money has been wasted by people like this!”
"If data analysis can make mistakes, how can we do scientific research? These are our scientific researchers?"
"Twenty-three-year-old Ph.D. in mathematics? Your academic qualifications come from water, right?"
From being a staffed assistant professor at Donggang University, a prestigious domestic university, he was reduced to a "temporary lecturer" at Xihai University, an ordinary university. In addition, the experimental issue was in the news. Many people attacked him personally on the Internet. His predecessor's mind could not bear it at all.
Can't live.
Then, the more I thought about it, the more desperate I became, and I decided to end my life.
Fortunately, he traveled through time!
…
Wang Hao stood up as he recalled.
Zhou Qingyuan was so frightened that he grabbed his arm and shouted nervously, "Wang Hao, don't do stupid things again!"
"Thank you, Professor Zhou!"
Wang Hao said in a sincere and firm tone, "I won't let my mind wander anymore."
"I left Donggang University and came here, a new job and a new environment!"
"From today, at this moment, I start a new life!"
"That's good, that's good!"
As Zhou Qingyuan said this, he grabbed Wang Hao's arm and walked away.
After he returned to the office on the third floor and asked Wang Hao to sit down, he felt relieved and continued to persuade, "I also read the news on the Internet."
"Those people don't know the situation, so don't care. That's how the Internet is."
"Don't worry, I've figured it out."
Wang Hao's mood has calmed down a lot. He has accepted the reality of time travel. Anyway, his previous life is over, and he has no regrets or regrets.
Now I can travel back in time to a doctor from a famous university, and directly serve as a university lecturer. My work and life are a new beginning.
Zhou Qingyuan continued to persuade for a few more words, and then talked about his work problem, "I'm really worried about your state. Otherwise, I can ask the academic affairs office for a week's leave on your behalf?"
"No need, just follow the arrangement as usual. I really figured it out." Wang Hao nodded firmly.
Zhou Qingyuan looked at him carefully for a long time, and finally sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, I was just going to talk to you about the course."
"Starting next Monday, you will officially start working. There are several classes of "Partial Differential Equations" that I need you to cover temporarily."
He took out a piece of paper and handed it over, "This is your class schedule, don't be stressed."
Wang Hao took it and took a closer look.
There is only one course on the schedule, called "Partial Differential Equations", and there is a corresponding exercise class, which is distributed from Monday to Friday.
The office was quiet for a while.
Zhou Qingyuan hesitated for a long time, and then said, "The school will give you a one-year contract. This semester, you will be temporarily taking Mr. Li's courses, but there is hope for you to stay."
"If you can produce actual research results during the contract period, the school will definitely consider it."
"Go back and think about it carefully. The research you did before was best...a self-funded project..."
I almost couldn't say the last few words.
He gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, if you need funds for your research, just come to me and I will support you personally!"
"Thanks."
Wang Hao was immediately very moved.
After digesting the memory of his predecessor, he could understand what Zhou Qingyuan meant.
His current contract with the school is a one-year temporary labor contract. It can be said that it was signed on an "emergency basis". With the stain of scientific research on him, it is difficult for him to find a regular university lecturer or scientific research-related job.
A one-year temporary labor contract is definitely not guaranteed.
In addition, because of the stain on scientific research, it is difficult to apply for national funds and young scholar projects under the provincial fund plan.
Funding can be applied for for those topics.
If he wants to do research, he can only apply for a self-funded project. There is no threshold for self-funded projects, and there is no financial support. To put it bluntly, he does his own research, publishes papers, reports to the top after the project is settled, and then includes it in his personal achievements.
Wang Hao thought and walked out of the office.
Being a university lecturer is a good job, but the pressure is still very high, especially in the early stage of work, when the results are directly related to whether you can become a regular employee.
I returned to Xihai University as a lecturer, but I only signed a one-year temporary contract. If I want to get a formal contract, or even be promoted to associate professor, I must have certain results.
Professional titles are directly linked to scientific research.
Wang Hao has a sense of uncertainty. His predecessor was indeed a genius and left behind a lot of scientific research memories, but the extra memories only gave him a lot more knowledge.
Scientific research is cutting-edge exploration.
Creativity, inspiration, and talent are all very important. Some people learn things quickly, but they are not necessarily suitable for scientific research. Some people do not learn things quickly, but they can achieve results by doing research.
This is a brand new challenge for him!
Wang Hao recalled his past life and compared it with his current situation, and he couldn't help but become determined, "It can definitely be done!"
"No matter how difficult it is, is it harder than 996? Is it harder than 007? Is it harder than going to work when you wake up and going to bed after get off work?"
"no problem!"
His heart couldn't help but become firm.
Suddenly, a voice rang, [Professor X system has been activated!]
