I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"It has to be Senior Brother! I can save some taxi fare."

Fu Ying started chattering as soon as she got in the car.

As the two best brothers and sisters in the current group, Jiang Hao has a really close relationship with the two of them.

"Just shut up! I can't even stop you from talking when we go to eat."

Senior Brother Qiu in the back seat finally couldn't stand Fu Ying who had been talking all afternoon.

"If you drink later, tell me. Then I'll drive you back."

Yu Xintong was sitting in the passenger seat and didn't pay attention to the conversation between the people behind her. Instead, she reminded Jiang Hao in advance.

"Okay, then you can open it tonight. I guess I need to have a few drinks with my tutor and Professor Zou."

It's a bit unrealistic not to drink alcohol at such a large group meal. It's okay for the female students, but I think none of the male students will be able to escape.

Not to mention that several of them, including Junior Brother Qiu, are about to graduate, so they still have to drink.

We drove to the destination quickly and it was the familiar Songjiang restaurant.

He now discovered that the customers of Songjiang Restaurant were probably faculty and staff from university campuses who came for dinner gatherings.

Whether it was Songjiang Normal University or now Songjiang University of Technology, when it comes to having a good meal, people like to come to Songjiang Restaurant.

The last time Jiang Hao invited his disciples to a dinner party, it was also at Songjiang Restaurant.

"Xiao Jiang, why are you sitting at this table? Are you planning to escape the drinking?"

"And Xiao Qiu, you're going to graduate soon, come over to my table and have a drink together tonight."

Professor Zou saw that there were three supervisors and two new postdocs at his table, as well as Senior Brother Liu, and he began to call out the names.

The first one was naturally Jiang Hao, and then several classmates who were about to graduate were pulled over.

"Xiao Jiang, please sit next to Professor Duan."

"Last time when you were the secretary for the re-examination, Lao Duan wanted to talk to you."

"But after I got here, time was too tight and I didn't make it in time."

Jiang Hao originally wanted to sit next to his advisor, but Professor Zou directly arranged him to sit next to Associate Professor Duan.

It seems that Associate Professor Duan has something to talk to him about.

"Old Duan, we have enough time tonight! I'll leave Xiao Jiang to you!"

"Haha! Of course!"

"Student Jiang, I can only drink a moderate amount of alcohol, so don't get me drunk right away!"

As soon as Associate Professor Duan saw him sitting next to him, he was full of smiles and was very polite.

This made several other students who were about to graduate, including two new postdoctoral fellows, look at Jiang Hao with great curiosity.

In fact, the most eye-catching and special person in the morning group meeting was Jiang Hao.

After all, in such a large group meeting, it is obvious that you have just managed to get by.

Even though Jiang Hao's progress in the literature report was good, the feeling of reading a document was too obvious.

Not to mention the Alienware laptop that he was carrying around, which looked obviously very valuable.

Tonight I saw again the attitudes of Professor Zou and Associate Professor Duan towards him. Everyone at the dinner table had either a PhD or a Master's degree, and was about to graduate.

None of them is a fool, and their attitude towards and level of respect for Jiang Hao have silently risen several levels in their hearts.

On the contrary, Junior Brother Qiu, who was the only one among the classmates who knew the inside story, acted as if it was a matter of course.

"Everyone is about to graduate, and they have all worked in my group."

"If you have any difficulties in work or other aspects before graduation, feel free to tell me tonight!"

"Of course, I'm not omnipotent, but I will try my best to help wherever I can!"

Professor Zou is still considerate in this regard.

Even though they were not his direct students, as the head of the group, he knew that many students actually applied for postgraduate studies just for him.

Now that I have been working with him for a few years, I am still willing to give some help to these students who are about to graduate.

"Brother Liu, where are you going after graduation?"

"Still in the lab! Didn't Junior Sister Yu mention this to you?"

Senior Brother Liu, who was sitting next to him, responded to Jiang Hao's question while picking up some food.

Brother Liu completed a three-year master's program and a four-year doctorate program, and graduated this year at the age of 29.

He is a gentle and elegant person, wearing a pair of frameless glasses on his nose, which makes him look very mature.

This is indeed the case. Senior Brother Liu really has outstanding personal abilities, whether in scientific research or other work.

Having an SCI paper in zone three before graduation is already remarkable, and many times he may also serve as Professor Zou’s assistant.

"Student Jiang, you don't understand? Professor Zou is reluctant to let go of his favorite student Xiao Liu. He has decided to stay in school and continue to work in the group."

At this time, Associate Professor Duan on the side spoke very enthusiastically and immediately told the truth about Senior Brother Liu.

I didn’t expect that Brother Liu would stay in school. No wonder he is still the one who arranges the work of the two postdoctoral fellows.

Moreover, Senior Brother Liu's staying in school was different from his staying in school. When he stayed in school, he was in an administrative position, which was not a regular position and he had to take the exam himself.

As for Senior Brother Liu, he should stay in school as a teaching position. If he doesn't have to be promoted or leave, it's actually relatively comfortable.

However, it is much more difficult to stay at Songshan University of Technology than at Songshan Normal University where he is located. Academic qualifications and scientific research paper results are both indispensable.

I guess it would have been unrealistic to stay in school without Professor Zou's recommendation and this SCI paper.

Things are pretty good now. At least Senior Brother Liu can continue to make a living from Professor Zou.

With a "Young Elite Scientist" mentor to guide him, it is very likely that he will become an academician in the future. There is really no need for Brother Liu to go out on his own.

It is enough that Professor Zou values ​​him. As long as he can produce results in Professor Zou's experiment, his future development will definitely not be a problem.

"Professor Duan, you can just call me Xiao Jiang."

Jiang Hao felt a little uncomfortable calling him "Classmate Jiang" and "Senior Brother Liu" (Little Liu).

"Haha! Xiao Jiang, if you don't mind, just call me teacher."

"Teacher Duan, do you have anything to ask me?"

They are all professors in the same group, and Jiang Hao is obviously the second-in-command of the group, so there is nothing wrong with calling him teacher.

However, Professor Duan's face became more and more delighted, and he raised his glass to clink glasses with him.

Obviously, this word "teacher" brought the two people closer together.

"Xiao Jiang, you are so straightforward. I won't bother with you."

"It's like this. I'm planning to start a project with someone outside of school, and I want your advice."

So that's what happened. He wanted to start a side job! He's familiar with this!

"Teacher Duan, which field are you interested in?"

“It’s in the field of artificial intelligence, but the project itself is related to some of my research.”

"I want to ask you for advice and see if this project is feasible."

Professor Duan is one year younger than Professor Zou and is 38 years old this year.

In fact, according to my supervisor, Professor Huang, my research achievements are quite substantial, and I have met all the requirements for being promoted to professor.

However, the professor position has been filled, so even if Associate Professor Duan is capable, he can only wait and see.

I guess this is also the main reason why Professor Duan started to think about doing a side job or starting a business.

"Teacher Duan, you are too polite. We just want to have an exchange."

"Artificial intelligence is a large field that is currently on the rise. Do you have any specific projects in mind?"

"I want to try the field of sweeping robots."

"I think the laser radar ranging sweeping robot launched in the United States two years ago is quite good, but there seems to be no mature application of this technology in China."

"I have some experience in sensor technology, especially lidar."

"Except for some difficulties in machine learning and some specific software support, there are no major problems with the main hardware."

"Xiao Jiang, do you think there are any opportunities in the field I want to start in?"
