From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

The school season is also the first day of work after the holidays. The school has become lively again, and the students coming and going make the campus feel more youthful again.

Wang Hao enjoyed the atmosphere very much.

Walking to the small road on the campus, laughter came from both sides, and the sound of the basketball court came from a distance, interpreting the beauty of the university, and he couldn't help but put a smile on his face.

After glancing at the salary slip issued from the financial department, I feel more at ease.

He went to the complex office.

In the new semester, a teacher moved to the office of the computer laboratory building, and there was a vacant seat inside. Wang Hao didn't have to keep guarding the door, but went to the office inside.

Although his title has been promoted to associate professor, he can apply to work in the laboratory building of the Faculty of Science, but like most young teachers, he still decides to stay in the comprehensive building to work.

Associate professor is not a 'high professional title'.

Even full professors don't have separate offices. When applying for an office in the School of Science, there is a high probability that they will sit with old professors such as Zhou Qingyuan and Wang Huanxin. He doesn't want to work with old professors every day.

Colleagues are familiar with the office in the complex building, and it is relatively free and relaxed.

Zhang Zhiqiang also made the same choice. His title also mentioned associate professor, but his rank was one level lower, and he chose to stay in the office of the complex building.

On the first day of work after the holiday, the office is very lively.

When Wang Hao entered the door, he heard several people talking about Zhang Zhiqiang. After he entered the door, the topic changed immediately, "Wang Hao, congratulations, it's time to call you Professor Wang!"

"Associate professor at the sixth level, I heard that, it is you who is promoted across the level!"

"I've been working for so many years. I just heard that other schools have them. This is the first time I've seen them in our school!"

Wang Hao smiled and expressed his thanks.

The appointment of Wang Hao and Zhang Zhiqiang as associate professors was something that had been settled long ago, and there was nothing special to talk about. The topic in the office quickly turned to courses, work and other matters.

Zhu Ping still teaches basic computer courses.

Yan Jing has improved. She entered the basic mechanics laboratory and joined a research group led by a physics professor.

Luo Dayong opened an elective course, and applied for a part-time class teacher to manage a class, but the specific class has not been assigned yet. He explained with a bitter face, "Life is stressful, and I want to earn more money. Open the elective course to get more money." As for the course fee, there is an additional 800 per month subsidy for being a head teacher."

"It's not easy!"

Zhang Zhiqiang sighed and said, "If the research didn't take up too much time, I would even apply to teach a high-credit class."

The credits are high and the class hours are high, so there is a class hour fee for a university teaching position.

The course fee of Xihai University is about 40 to 60 per class hour on average, which is definitely lower than that of extracurricular institutions, but considering the additional subsidy income, an extra two or three thousand a month is not a lot.

Wang Haodao, "I have three courses, one elective and two compulsory, but I don't teach many classes and the class hours are short."

"Two compulsory courses? How many classes are there in a week?" Luo Dayong asked curiously.

"There are only four classes, and I can't catch up with the last semester."

Last semester, I was substituting seven classes for "Partial Differential Equations". There were three main classes and three exercises every week. Now there are indeed three courses, but "Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics" only taught two classes for four classes. "Nonlinear Functional Analysis" is a weekly class, and "Introduction to Data Mining" has been applied for, and there are only Thursday evening classes.

Three courses, but less class hours.

This rhythm is also Wang Hao's favorite, because the efficiency of obtaining inspiration will be greatly reduced if the same course is taken for the second time, and the teaching effect will be the best if there are more courses and less class hours.

Wang Hao and Luo Dayong were talking, when Zhang Zhiqiang suddenly said, "Look at the system, the school's project subsidies have been refreshed."

"Self-financing?" Luo Dayong asked doubtfully.

Zhang Zhiqiang nodded and said, "I applied for a self-financed project, and the school gave me a subsidy of 30,000 yuan. It's okay, I applied for 50,000 yuan." He shook his head while talking, "The school always gives a discount on the subsidy."

Yan Jing followed depressed and said, "The one I applied for years ago was the same. I applied for 50,000 yuan, which is more ruthless than yours. I just gave 20,000 yuan. The school didn't even think about it. What is 20,000 yuan enough for?"

"I also applied for a self-financed project, and the reported funding of 30,000 yuan, can I have 20,000 yuan?"

As Wang Hao said, he logged into the system and checked the topics he had applied for, only to find that the topics were marked at the end, and the funds were allocated... 100,000?

He asked with some doubts, "Brother Zhang, did you just say that you are given a discount for self-raised projects?"

"Of course!"

Zhang Zhiqiang stood up to get a glass of water, and said, "If you apply for 50,000 yuan, you will get 30,000 yuan. If you apply for 100,000 yuan, it is estimated that you can get 50,000 yuan. It is useless to write out the reasons for your application. There must be a discount, the school has a lot of reasons, self-funded projects, can't just ask the school to pay for it?"

Wang Hao nodded clearly, and immediately refreshed the web page, only to find that the screen still displayed '100,000'.

He decided not to speak.

At this time Zhang Zhiqiang came back, glanced at Wang Hao's computer screen, looked at the number behind the project, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then asked a little confused, "You just said, how much funding did you apply for?"

Before Wang Hao could say anything, he said in surprise, "30,000, right? You applied for 30,000, and the school gave you 100,000?"

"Shua!"

Everyone in the office looked over.

Luo Dayong, Zhu Ping, and Yan Jing were all very surprised, "How is it possible? When did the school become so generous?"

"Why did you give me a discount when I applied?"

Zhu Ping finally found a way to talk about it, and said angrily, "I applied for one last year, but I didn't give it, and I didn't give a penny, so I was asked to raise it myself. That's really self-raising, I can only give up. gone."

Luo Dayong whispered, "Are you sure you're not cheating?"

Zhu Ping's face turned dark immediately, and the ferocity of a huntress exuded in her eyes as she looked over.

Wang Hao thought for a while and said, "Maybe I made a mistake. I did apply for 30,000 yuan. Director Zhu from the Science and Technology Department told me that the school can approve 30,000 yuan, and he helped to apply."

"It must be a mistake."

"It must be wrong!"

"Don't expect the school to be generous, it's impossible!" Zhang Zhiqiang said absolutely. He really didn't understand why the school could generously approve the strange incident of 100,000 yuan after applying for 30,000 yuan.

At this time, Zhang Zhiqiang noticed a salary slip next to the mouse on the table.

He just glanced at the numbers above, and suddenly he stopped talking, just quietly, low-key, even a little sad, and returned to the seat he made and sat down.

The six-figure salary, the first number is '4', a fraction is more than the project funding I applied for.

It doesn't matter whether the funds are not funds.

...

Wang Hao received an astonishing scientific research subsidy, a total of 450,000 yuan, including the subsidy for publishing papers in the "Acta Mathematica Sinica", and the bonus given by the school that won the STACS conference paper.

His personal salary is not as much as the fraction on the payroll.

Looking at the figures on the salary slip, Wang Hao feels that being a university lecturer is a very lucrative career.

Although he received a lot of subsidies, he should not be able to get the money, so he went to the Science and Technology Department to ask about the financial subsidies provided by the self-financing project school.

Zhu Jianrong replied in a complicated manner, "Professor Wang Hao, Wang Da, two days ago, the school organized the examination and application of the project, and your project was approved, and 30,000 yuan was directly approved, but ah, I found out later that you raised it yourself. A million dollars, right?"

"People from Penguin came to the school to talk, and they wanted to sponsor your project by name. The first thing they said was one million, and they said that 800,000 of it was your personal labor fee."

"Afterwards, the school held a meeting to discuss it, and they gave you 100,000 yuan..."

Zhu Jianrong's voice was a bit 'painful'. The school didn't want to allocate so much funds, but considering that the Penguin Group saw Wang Hao's project and sponsored one million as soon as they opened their mouths, the school only subsidized 30,000 yuan, which is really too shabby , The project is submitted, and it will be awkward to see the amount.

So the school has only two options, either don’t give any money, or give subsidies starting from 100,000 yuan.

In the end, it was decided to give a 100,000 funding.

This funding budget exceeded the estimate, which made the school very embarrassed. The annual scientific research budget is fixed, and 100,000 is allocated for Wang Hao's self-raised project, and other people's application funds will be affected.

Wang Hao felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, so he could only say, "I went to Penguin to give a lecture. They have a general manager named Zhang. After hearing my research, I have no choice but to sponsor it."

Zhu Jianrong grinned and didn't want to talk anymore.

...

After the application for elective courses was approved and the self-financing project was confirmed, Wang Hao read books and did research every day, slowly accumulating inspiration points, and at the same time waiting for the arrival of the new semester with peace of mind.

The campus is also bustling day by day.

The school season has really come, and the students are returning to school to prepare for the new semester, and various tasks are slowly starting.

For students of every grade, one of the most important things in the new semester is "course selection". Whether it is undergraduate or postgraduate, public elective courses and professional elective courses must complete enough credits to obtain a diploma.

At the same time, many students also log on to the school forum to share some experience in course selection with juniors, juniors, or other students.

One of them was very interesting from a third-year student. He posted a post titled "Course selection, beware of thunder!" Do not choose a professional course! ".

Below is a screenshot of the course selection system.

The name of the course is "Introduction to Data Mining", and the lecturer's introduction is very simple--

Wang Hao, associate professor.

The post reads, "I am a third-year student in the Department of Physics, and I remind everyone not to choose "Introduction to Data Mining". This teacher is very young, but very scary, demanding super super super super... super strict, nicknamed 'Devil' teacher'."

"He has a grudge against the students, so it's impossible for him to let you pass!"
