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

It was not until Jiang Hao relayed Professor Jiang's attitude in the morning to Professor Zou that Professor Zou remained silent for a while.

"Jiang Hao, how about this, just consider it as doing me a favor!"

"Take the job from Professor Jiang's team at a lower price. Don't worry, I'll charge you 4 yuan per month for maintenance."

"For other maintenance requirements, except for those with particularly high requirements, you can just add the amount to my project team."

After a long while, Professor Zou spoke again.

He hoped Jiang Hao would give him face and take on this project, regardless of the cost.

What this means is that Professor Jiang will get as much bonus from their project team as the discount he gets.

"Professor Zou, are you sure?"

"I'm sure there won't be any problems on my end, but don't you need to do this? Professor Jiang won't know."

If this is how it is done, Professor Zou can at most be doing good deeds without leaving a name.

Logically speaking, Professor Zou has already been promoted to professor, and is also a professor in the project team who teaches individually.

He is definitely on the same level as Professor Jiang. In fact, Professor Zou’s current title of “Young Outstanding Scientist” should mean that his status in the school is higher than Professor Jiang’s.

Even though Professor Jiang spoke in a very vague way just now, he seemed to be quite experienced.

But when it comes to scientific research status, he is definitely not as good as Professor Zou.

"I'm sure I owed Professor Jiang a favor when I accepted him as a student before."

"Please bear a little injustice this time for my sake. Just consider it as helping me."

"After you rest assured, if there is anything I can help you with, and if there are any projects that can really make money, I will try my best to introduce them to you."

With his words, Jiang Hao felt relieved.

He can get a "Young Elite Scientist" professor to owe him a favor, and he himself works in a university, so this favor can be of great use.

If it's just Professor Jiang's matter, then it couldn't be simpler.

"Professor Zou, please don't say that. I'm just worried that you'll be doing something that's thankless."

"Since you have made your decision, I will do as you say."

It was not until Jiang Hao came out of the bathroom and sat back in his seat that he discovered that Professor Jiang seemed to be having a good chat with Yu Xintong and Fu Hao.

Only Tang Wenbin was drinking coffee and looking at his phone alone.

It seems that Professor Jiang’s attitude is just cold towards these “outsiders”.

That’s right, when I was working with Professor Zou’s group, it started with Fu Hao, who was Li Ge’s junior.

In addition, Professor Zou is relatively young and doesn't care about other things, so he is willing to treat him as a friend.

But this Professor Jiang is different. He really treats him as an outside company. Thinking of this, Jiang Hao can actually understand it.

"Professor Jiang, how about this? I'll charge you the same price as Professor Zou, 2000 per month. Is that okay with you?"

"This is the lowest price. No matter how many systems you have in your group, I will charge this price."

Seeing Jiang Hao agreed, Professor Jiang thought for a while before finally agreeing.

After the two parties exchanged contact information, Professor Jiang left in a hurry.

It was not until he left that the atmosphere among the four of them returned to what it was before and became much more relaxed.

"Jiang Hao, Professor Jiang is sometimes hard to talk to. He is the same with the graduate students in the institute and is even very strict with his students."

"But this time, he really looked for Teacher Zou several times, so he asked me to look for you several times."

Jiang Hao nodded silently in response to what Yu Xintong said.

Anyway, he was not interested in Professor Jiang but Professor Zou, so he would not suffer any loss in terms of money.

"I'm fine. We're just talking about business! It's normal."

"But according to what you said, Professor Jiang is very strict with his own students? I think he was having a good chat with you guys just now."

Seeing that it was still early and the two people opposite did not seem to be in a hurry to leave, Jiang Hao began to inquire from the side.

"He's quite strict. Don't be fooled by his friendly attitude when he was chatting with us just now. He is actually quite rude to students."

Speaking of this, Yu Xintong and Fu Hao beside her both looked relieved.

"For example, Professor Zou at least gives some labor fees to the graduate students working in our group, which can be regarded as living expenses."

"The PhD students in their group don't get any labor pay, never take holidays, and even stay up later than our group."

Speaking of complaining about Professor Jiang, Fu Hao also became interested and took over what Senior Sister Yu was saying.

"Professor Jiang's group doesn't have many actual projects. Logically, their workload is not as heavy as ours, and they have no fewer graduate students working on it than ours."

"But there is always a lot of work to do. I heard that Professor Jiang has assigned a lot of his own work outside to students in the group."

Fu Hao had already lowered his voice at this point. In fact, he couldn't hold back on this kind of complaints any longer.

"In fact, other graduate students in Professor Jiang's group regretted not applying to Professor Zou's group at that time."

"It's a good thing that Senior Brother Liu chose us as his advisor back then, otherwise it would be difficult for him to graduate now."

"Can't graduate? Is that true?"

As soon as Professor Jiang left, Old Tang put down his phone and rejoined the conversation.

And I am quite interested in the topic of doctoral graduation.

Like Jiang Hao, he only graduated from a second-tier university and his resources are inferior to those in school.

There are only a few master's programs in some individual colleges in the school, and their School of Information Engineering only has undergraduate students.

If you did not choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination in your senior year or after graduation, you actually don’t know much about the life of a graduate student, so it’s quite interesting to talk about it now.

"Of course it's true. Their group doesn't have many research results. How can there be enough results for the doctoral students to graduate with?"

"I estimate that out of the five doctoral students in Professor Jiang's group, we'd be lucky if three of them could graduate."

“If he takes on more outside projects, he’ll probably only graduate one or two.”

"Anyway, Senior Brother Fan, who is about to graduate this year, is already in his sixth year. I feel that he will have to delay graduation. If he doesn't produce some results, he will probably have to drop out."

Fu Hao naturally had a thorough understanding of the situation in Songgong University.

It seems that he often slacks off not only by chatting with his schoolmates, but also by hanging out with graduate students from other departments.

Choice is more important than effort!

As Jiang Hao listened to this, this sentence couldn't help but come to his mind.

This is not only important at work, but even more so in graduate school.

Choosing a correct and reliable mentor actually determines the difficulty of your future graduation.

However, his focus was not here, but on Senior Brother Liu in their group whom Fu Hao had just mentioned.

"Fu Hao, you said that Senior Brother Liu was planning to choose Professor Jiang?"

"Yes! I heard about this, but I haven't asked for details."

Fu Hao nodded seriously, which made Jiang Hao suddenly suspicious. Could it be that the favor that Professor Zou was talking about was Senior Brother Liu?

"Actually, that's not the case. Senior Brother Liu has always chosen our teacher."

Yu Xintong looked a little hesitant at this time, but everyone was already quite familiar with each other, so she whispered to Jiang Hao and the others.

"Professor Zou had just come to the school a few years ago. Although he was a doctoral supervisor, he did not have many admissions quotas."

"It happened that it wasn't Senior Brother Liu's turn to recruit students that year, but Senior Brother Liu came just for Teacher Zou."

"Finally, Mr. Zou contacted Professor Jiang and transferred Senior Brother Liu's student status to Professor Jiang for the first year, and then transferred him back to Professor Jiang in the second year."

"Fu Hao, don't ask around anymore. Senior Brother Liu has never hesitated or chosen Professor Jiang."

After listening to this, Jiang Hao completely figured out the favor that Professor Zou said he owed him, and he probably thought it was about Senior Brother Liu.

That's how feelings work, but even if it does, this isn't the way to deal with things like this.

Jiang Hao didn't bother to think about it anymore. Maybe there was some other relationship between the two of them.

Perhaps in Professor Zou's eyes, this amount of money for system maintenance is really a small matter.

Wasn’t the system previously led by Professor Jiang maintained by students he hired?

Anyway, he just needs to do Professor Zou a favor, and he has no right to interfere in other matters.
