Chapter 63 Is this freshman year?
Both are very humble.
Xu Zhengyang couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and pouted, "Come on, if you want to write a paper, wait until the military training is over. Besides, we are just freshmen, how can we write something in depth?"
"That's right." Zhai Ziqiang nodded and sighed, "I used to think I was great because I could do those competition questions, but after reading the materials sent by my seniors, I realized that I only learned the basics."
Xu Zhengyang leaned lazily in his chair, with an expression that showed he had seen through the vicissitudes of life.
"It's normal. Math competitions are like orienteering, but advanced math is a marathon. Orienteering is just running towards a goal, and there are countless paths you can take. No matter how you run, you can't get out of the circle."
"A marathon is a long route with new sights along the way. If you don't reach the finish line, you haven't finished the race. It doesn't matter if you've run 20% or 80%."
Xu Qingzhou and the other three were stunned and all looked at Xu Zhengyang.
Staring at Xu Zhengyang, Xu Qingzhou looked strange and said, "Old Xu, when did you become so cultured?"
"You're stunned, right?" Xu Zhengyang's aura of a master disappeared instantly, and he laughed, "I spent a long time searching for this sentence online. You're all stunned. Those little girls must be looking at me in worship!"
"get out."
Xu Qingzhou rolled his eyes and ignored him.
"Anyway, I won't stay in the basic mathematics department. I'll just choose between financial mathematics and statistics. After graduation, I'll go back to inherit the family business and live by collecting rent."
Xu Zhengyang sighed.
At this point, Xu Qingzhou and the others wanted to beat someone up, so they decisively didn't take the opportunity.
Seeing that no one asked how many houses he had at home, Xu Zhengyang could only regret missing a good opportunity to show off.
Xu Qingzhou opened the fruit and shared some with Xu Zhengyang and the others, "Eat the fruit."
"Lao Xu, this was sent by School Beauty Song. You are willing to give it to us." Xu Zhengyang had an exaggerated expression.
"If you don't want to eat it, I'll put it away."
The watermelons and mangoes are both packed in boxes, but it’s hot now, so they won’t last long.
"Eat, eat, eat." Xu Zhengyang came over with a smile and poked a piece of watermelon. "Old Xu, you're really not moved by such a beautiful and caring girl?"
Kong Xianbo and Zhai Ziqiang also moved their stools over and ate fruit while looking at Xu Qingzhou to see what he would say.
Xu Qingzhou sighed, "You don't understand, I just treat her as my sister."
"Bah, scumbag!"
Over the weekend, Xu Qingzhou finished translating the paper and checked it carefully again, planning to show it to Professor Gu Zhizhong when he had time.
On Monday, there was a heavy rain at four o'clock in the afternoon. The instructor notified everyone in the group to take a break. Xu Qingzhou did not go to eat with Xu Zhengyang and others, but went directly to the School of Mathematics to see if Professor Gu Zhizhong was there.
School of Mathematics, professor’s office.
When Xu Qingzhou went there, the door was open. He took a look inside and saw two young men writing something at the desk next to them. Professor Gu Zhizhong was also busy with his work at the desk.
Noticing Xu Qingzhou standing at the door, Gu Zhizhong signaled him to come in with his eyes.
A student who was concentrating on studying looked up and looked curiously at Xu Qingzhou who came in.
"Professor, this is my thesis." Xu Qingzhou handed the USB drive to Gu Zhizhong.
Gu Zhizhong was slightly surprised and took the USB drive: "Did you finish it so quickly?"
Xu Qingzhou nodded, "Yes, I just happened to have some time in the past two days, so I worked overtime to finish it."
Gu Zhizhong plugged in the USB drive and opened the files inside, which included both Chinese and English versions.
The first thing he did was to copy the content to a plagiarism checking website. Although he had roughly read the paper last time, he did not have the original manuscript.
In fact, Gu Zhizhong was ready to comfort Xu Qingzhou for the high repetition rate. He was very optimistic about Xu Qingzhou. Although they had not met much, he could still feel that Xu Qingzhou had a calmness that was different from other young people, which was exactly the attitude needed for academic research.
Be non-utilitarian, don't rush for quick results, and be able to sit on the bench.
Plagiarism check completed.
Chinese version, repetition rate .
English version, repetition rate .
Qualified, couldn't be more qualified.
Gu Zhizhong was stunned for a moment, staring at the plagiarism check report on the screen with a complicated expression, and asked Xu Qingzhou: "Have you decided which journal to submit to?"
"Mathematical Inventions," Xu Qingzhou said. Many of the papers published in this journal are related to physics.
Next door, the boy looked up and showed an admiring expression when he heard Xu Qingzhou's words. It was a top magazine.
Gu Zhizhong nodded and turned to browse Xu Qingzhou's paper: "Leave the paper here for now. I took a quick look at it. There are no major problems with the translation. Some terminology needs to be adjusted. You can come in a few days. Forget it."
As he said that, he handed Xu Qingzhou a note: "Leave me your phone number, I'll call you when it's changed."
"Okay, thank you Professor Gu." Xu Qingzhou nodded and left his phone number.
Gu Zhizhong smiled and shook his head. He took the phone number and said, "You must have been very busy recently. Go back and have a good rest. Young people should pay more attention to taking care of their health."
In his opinion, Xu Qingzhou must have stayed up many late nights to translate the paper in three or four days, while also undergoing military training during that time.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, professor."
After Xu Qingzhou left, the boy looked up and asked curiously, "Professor, is this the undergraduate student you teach?"
Xu Qingzhou is too young, and the graduate students know each other, so there is no such person.
"Yes, an undergraduate student. The most important thing is that he is still a freshman." Gu Zhizhong also felt a little emotional.
“Freshman? Classes haven’t even started yet, and you’ve already started submitting to SCI!”
The boy was shocked and felt that he was hit. Are freshmen so awesome now?
Gu Zhizhong nodded, took a sip of tea, looked at his student, and said, "So, Xiao Meng, you have to have a sense of crisis and work hard. It would be embarrassing if you were defeated by your own junior."
"I feel like it would be strange if I wasn't killed by this kind of junior."
"What are you mumbling about?"
"Hey, you heard it wrong, it's nothing."
Xu Qingzhou came out of the office and planned to go to the cafeteria to have a meal first.
The rain is still falling, drizzles falling from the sky, lightly falling on the asphalt road of the campus. The wind blows, and the faint fragrance of flowers and mud algae fills the rain.
Outside the library, students holding colorful umbrellas were walking quickly.
Xu Qingzhou took a deep breath, as if he saw his past self. Many teachers said that college would be easy. In fact, in college, especially in an institution like Beijing University, the competition was even fiercer than in high school.
The most despairing thing is that no matter how hard you try, it seems you can't catch up with others.
After about ten minutes, he arrived at Shaoyuan Chinese Restaurant near the No. 2 Tennis Court of Beijing University.
It’s dinner time and there are a lot of people.
Xu Qingzhou was holding a bowl of braised chicken with rice. After searching for a long time, he saw a couple who had finished eating but were still cuddling in their seats, so he took the plate and sat down next to them.
The two of them felt embarrassed to continue their sweet relationship, so they glanced at Xu Qingzhou and left.
