The top student must be diligent

Then he saw the recruitment on the Science Island Laboratory and took the initiative to apply for the job. He soon became Xiao Yi's assistant.

Of course, since the Science Island Laboratory is small and has few people, it is not as busy as the school.

"Thirteen people? That's good."

Xiao Yi nodded.

"In addition, Professor Qian Wanli has confirmed that he will leave before next week."

"Oh? So soon?"

Xiao Yi was a little surprised. After all, Qian Wanli is an outstanding young scholar and should have a lot of things to deal with. He didn't expect it to be done so quickly.

Wang Hao nodded: "Yes, it's because Professor Qian Wanli has been preparing to leave Shanghai Jiaotong University for a long time. His students have all graduated successfully, and he has not recruited new students, so all other things have been dealt with."

Xiao Yi nodded and smiled. It seems that Professor Qian has already made plans.

"That's fine. Is there anything else?"

"Oh, there is one more thing. It's about a postdoctoral fellow you reminded me to pay attention to before, named Liu Xiaodong."

"Liu Xiaodong seems to be in trouble now. He applied for withdrawal, but his supervisor did not sign."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi frowned.

Sure enough, this happened?

Recalling the interview process of Liu Xiaodong at that time, although Liu Xiaodong's performance was not very good, Xiao Yi saw clues from the achievements during his postdoctoral period. Finally, he checked and found that his supervisor Zhao Guoqing's research direction in the past was polymer materials, which had nothing to do with those papers in the field of nanomaterials. As a result, he suddenly published a nanomaterial in JMS\u0026T.

JMS\u0026T is a top journal in the field of materials with an impact factor of more than 10. The quality of that paper must be very high. Zhao Guoqing could not possibly publish his first paper there.

After that, Xiao Yi contacted Qian Wanli. As a young outstanding scholar of the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Shanghai Jiaotong University, Qian Wanli did know something. As expected, Liu Xiaodong's tutor was indeed famous for exploiting students in their school. Although he had been warned by the school before, he did not restrain himself too much, because Zhao Guoqing's father, the enemy Qian Wanli mentioned, was about to be elected as an academician.

Qian Wanli even had an impression of Liu Xiaodong, a postdoctoral fellow, because they had met in the laboratory, and some of Liu Xiaodong's insights made him full of praise.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.

He could handle this matter.

Of course he could handle it. He also knew many scholars in Shanghai, or in other words, he knew many scholars across the country.

Because of his many achievements in the past, whether in mathematics, physics, or materials, many people wanted to communicate with him, and even Qian Wanli's enemy had communicated with him through email.

Xiao Yi would not refuse these emails of communication intentions. Basically, he would answer any interesting questions.

Although they were all out of interest, they also accumulated a lot of relationships for him invisibly.

Of course, if it was worse, he could call Director Liu Cong to solve the problem more easily.

However, after thinking it over again and again, he still planned to let Liu Xiaodong decide whether to accept his help, so he took out his mobile phone and called Liu Xiaodong directly.

…

Chapter 196 Xiao Yi's call

School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiaotong University, postdoctoral dormitory.

Liu Xiaodong lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling blankly.

Regarding the application to withdraw from the postdoctoral station, the school has agreed, and the college has agreed, but in the end, the supervisor has not agreed and still has not signed for him.

The signing condition is that he must do the last experiment and give the data before he can leave.

Faced with this kind of robber-like behavior, Liu Xiaodong had no way.

He did not expect that he would encounter this kind of exploitation by the supervisor during his postdoctoral period, which he had not experienced during his postgraduate studies.

This made him deeply realize what it means to choose more than to work hard.

He also searched a lot on the Internet for this kind of thing.

Most people said that he should have a good talk with his supervisor, and that he and his supervisor had a bad relationship.

Faced with such remarks, he didn't know what to say.

Did he want to have a bad relationship with his supervisor?

Think about his supervisors during his graduate studies, they were all very good to him, how could they be like Zhao Guoqing?

He could only regret that he was a little careless when choosing a supervisor.

The reason why he chose Zhao Guoqing was because he was only 32 years old, very young, and looking at the articles in his hands, they were also very impressive, and seemed to be better than many other professors, far above the average level.

According to the definition of the relationship between postdoctoral fellows and supervisors in the academic community, that is the relationship of collaborators. After all, most of those who can reach a postdoctoral level have already reached a certain level.

So what Liu Xiaodong was thinking at the time was to form a very close cooperative relationship with a young and capable mentor, and to be able to maintain such a relationship even after graduation. Just like those Nobel Prize winners, many of them were teacher-student relationships, and after students graduated, they would still cooperate and have a very close relationship.

It's just that ideals are full, but reality is skinny. After coming to school for a while, he realized that Zhao Guoqing's achievements were all due to his father. He was an outstanding young scholar, a Yangtze River scholar, and even not far from being an academician. Just revealing a topic would be enough for Zhao Guoqing to eat for a long time.

He sighed deeply.

Why did he encounter such a thing?

At this time, the phone rang.

He took a look and was suddenly stunned.

This turned out to be... his supervisor during graduate school.

He studied at Bincheng University of Technology during his undergraduate and graduate studies, and his supervisor was called Luo Binyong.

But why did his supervisor call him at this time?

After answering the phone, he calmed himself down and said, "Hello? Teacher Luo, why do you suddenly have time to call me?"

The voice of his mentor came from the other end of the phone: "If I don't call you again, you probably won't tell me what happened until now, right?"

"At the beginning, I suggested that you either go to the schools I recommended to you, or stay in our Binhai University of Technology, but you insisted on going to Shanghai. Is it so easy to get along in that big city? Now, you are in trouble, right?"

"You are in trouble, but you don't know how to ask for help. You are still in your heart like before. Do you think you are stupid?"

Hearing the blameful but caring words of the mentor, Liu Xiaodong's mood that just kept him calm could no longer be maintained, and the wall that wrapped all the grievances in his heart cracked.

Although he still maintained his emotions, his eyes were red, and tears squeezed out from the corners of his eyes.

"Teacher, I...I..."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to what a friend of mine at Shanghai Jiaotong University told me. Tell me, what's going on?"

Liu Xiaodong sniffed, and then told Luo Binyong the whole story.

"This Zhao guy is a piece of shit!"

After listening, Luo Binyong couldn't help but curse.

But soon, he calmed down and said, "But this is really hard to do..."

You can leave only if you sign, and you can only stay if you don't sign.

Of course, if Liu Xiaodong just gives up and takes the salary without working, it can also disgust Zhao Guoqing in turn.

But this is only suitable for a broken jar. Not to mention that Liu Xiaodong has to report to the Science Island Laboratory in time, even if it is for his own future, he can't just give up like this.

"But now you plan to leave Shanghai Jiaotong University, have you found a new employer?"

At this time, Luo Binyong suddenly asked again.

"It's already found, the Science Island Laboratory."

"Science Island Laboratory?" Luo Binyong was stunned, and finally said in surprise: "Is it Xiao Yi's laboratory?"

Hearing the teacher's surprised voice, Liu Xiaodong replied a little embarrassedly: "Yes."

"You are good." Luo Binyong immediately said: "Then what are you worried about, you report this matter to Professor Xiao truthfully, and he can solve it with a phone call."

"Is this... not good?" Liu Xiaodong said hesitantly: "If this kind of thing bothers Professor Xiao, isn't it a bit..."

Luo Binyong was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said: "What you said makes sense."

"Let me ask someone here to help you ask, I can't guarantee that it will work, but if you can go to the Science Island Laboratory, it's still pretty good."

"Thank you, teacher."

Liu Xiaodong said.

Although Luo Binyong couldn't help him directly, being able to help find someone was already a great help to him.

And he didn't have too much hope for this.

One is in Bincheng, the other in Shanghai, so far away, and his mentor is not a big man with a lot of connections.

In the end, Luo Binyong comforted him a few more words, and then ended the call.

Putting down the phone, Liu Xiaodong began to think about what to do next.

But after thinking for a long time, there is only one way, that is to do the experiment honestly.

"Is it really like this?" He clenched his fists, he really didn't want Zhao Guoqing to take advantage again.

However, what can he do as an ordinary person with no connections and no background?

At this time, his mobile phone rang again.

He glanced at the caller, a phone number he didn't recognize.

But according to the number's location information, it was a phone number from Fei City, Anhui Province.
