Chapter 99 Double Happiness
Chapter 99 Double Happiness
Jiangsu University of Science and Technology is quite efficient.
Lu Ming's local approximation NPC theory was published less than half a month ago. He then completed his doctoral dissertation defense on campus and was subsequently offered a 3+2 long-term contract as a specially appointed full researcher.
The main concern was the high risk that he and his teacher, Lin Xiaowei, would be poached.
On the same day, the college entrance examination results were released, making it a double celebration.
When Lu Ming found his daughter Rui Rui's score online, he immediately thought of the scene when he checked his score two years ago.
Because Rui Rui is on summer vacation, he has finally returned home to live these days. Anyway, Dijin Garden is very close to the Jiangbin Campus of Jiangxi University of Science and Technology.
Rui Rui hasn't gotten up yet.
After checking his daughter's score, Lu Ming immediately shared the good news in the mothers' group.
The scores for Gao He, Cheng Yuhang, Yang Yunhao, and Zheng Jiayi have also been released, and the results are basically as expected.
Yang Yunhao will definitely have to repeat a year of high school.
Pan Li had some ideas and asked in the group chat, "Da Ming, could you talk to the school and ask Yun Hao to enroll directly?"
"It's very difficult to do now!" Lu Ming said frankly, even the principal's son didn't have this possibility.
Yao Xuefang replied in the group: "Don't even think about it. There's still a tiny bit of room for maneuver for 211 universities, but for 985 universities, the country is cracking down too hard."
"Studying for another year won't be a bad thing for Yunhao!" Lu Ming could only offer Pan Li this consolation.
"Actually, we could send Yunhao to the elite class at Jiangxi University of Technology and then have him take the postgraduate entrance exam at Jiangxi University of Science and Technology. That would be much easier."
Miao Yuyan then put forward a more pragmatic idea.
"We can do it that way. After all, when we operate internally, one's first degree isn't particularly important."
Lu Ming felt it was feasible.
The key point is that the college entrance examination is extremely difficult to navigate, but there is a lot of room for maneuver in subsequent postgraduate and doctoral applications.
Especially given Lu Ming's situation, if he wanted to recruit a doctoral student from Jiangxi University of Technology, would the university dare to object?
Yao Xuefang didn't care about these things and suggested in the group chat, "Let's find a place to celebrate. As for the kids, let them go on a trip abroad and have a good week."
"...!"
Lu Ming was speechless.
He must be having a hard time sending the children out to play so quickly.
The current mom group has seven single mothers, and two beautiful associate professors in their early thirties who are eager to join!
"Da Ming, you've been so busy all year, why don't you take a few days off and relax with us?"
Mei Yanping also wanted to take a few days off.
"...!"
Lu Ming felt that if he took leave to rest, it would probably be ten times more tiring than working and doing scientific research!
So, being a male academic succubus isn't easy either.
I still have to go to work today.
Knowing that Rui Rui would sleep in until noon, Lu Ming told Pan Li in the group chat to help take care of the children, and then hurriedly drove to work.
In his third year at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, he had already completed a three-level leap: from a freshman in the Information and Computing Strong Foundation Program to a direct PhD program, and then directly promoted to a specially appointed full researcher, with the same rank and treatment as a specially appointed full professor.
They've been breaking all the rules!
How so?
Jiangsu University of Science and Technology has indeed treated him very well!
When he arrived at the Lightweight Research Center, the students he encountered along the way all addressed him respectfully as Professor Lu.
It all happened so fast, starting next academic year, he'll be supervising graduate students.
Although he still has much to learn from his mentor, Lin Xiaowei.
The second phase of the Yabin Intelligent Textile Center project is very large, with a total investment of over 700 million yuan and many researchers involved, but the main work is handled by the Ruilong Technology Company team.
Lu Ming is currently only holding a title, providing some ideas and suggestions.
He still devotes most of his time and energy to his research, continuing to send a series of papers on local approximation NPC theory to top journals.
Publishing seven or eight top-tier journal articles a year is not a problem.
In addition, Lu Ming will also be working on the research topic that his mentor, Lin Xiaowei, is currently exploring, namely "Ultra-lightweight model specification of local near-equivalence theory," and will continue to contribute his various ideas, including participating in experiments.
We worked until noon.
Lu Ming took his newly completed thesis to his supervisor's office, only to find that Vice President He and Director Zhu Weiping of the Institute of Intelligent Science and Technology were also there.
"Teacher Lu, you've come at the perfect time! Let's have a chat!" Vice Principal He greeted her warmly.
The president of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology is at the vice-ministerial level, and the five vice presidents are all at the departmental level. Among them, only Vice President He is not an academician.
Because Vice President He has always been in charge of administrative work at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, as well as admissions work, including undergraduate, gifted youth, graduate and doctoral admissions.
They wield great power, have many tasks, but hold low social status.
This is how it is at top-tier 985 universities: the president, vice presidents, and leaders of major departments are all academicians, so they definitely look down on those who do administrative work.
The office of my supervisor, Lin Xiaowei, has one large and one small sofa. Lin Xiaowei is a woman and sits alone on the single sofa.
Vice Principal He and Director Zhu Weiping sat together on the sofa.
Lu Ming could only pull over a wooden chair and sit with the three of them across the coffee table. After all, they were newly hired teachers, and he had to be mindful of his professional qualifications.
"Professor Lu, this time we mainly discussed your graduate studies. Many students from our university want you to be their advisor, and even more from other universities!"
Vice Principal He was quite proud of this; it was definitely a good thing that the school had produced a phenomenal academic star.
Of course, there were indeed too many students who wanted to become Lu Ming's graduate students, and most of them were female students.
There are even quite a few female college students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
too exaggerated!
Lin Xiaowei had just learned about this and said to Lu Ming, "I think we should try to recruit graduate students from our own university. We can find out their learning attitude and situation by asking their professors."
"Actually, I only want to mentor Chen Yiyan and Hu Jinyu, and I'm not really interested in other graduate students."
Lu Ming had already made his decision and did not intend to benefit outsiders.
In the field of local near-equivalence NPC theory, he could produce at least a hundred papers. Even if he didn't want to do it himself, he could still give pointers to a few of Hu Jinyu's classmates so they could get a doctoral degree.
"Professor Lu, the female students from Tsinghua and Peking University are quite good. Since they applied to our school and have a strong desire to attend, I think you should mentor them."
Vice Principal He definitely wanted to keep these students, even though he felt that the girls were all fans of Lu Ming and had ulterior motives.
"Teacher Lu, if you're not willing to take him on, I'll find a way to intercept him!" Zhu Weiping joked with a smile, but he really wanted to steal him away.
One of these girls had participated in the Qiu Mathematical Olympiad and won a gold medal in a single event. She had also previously represented China in the International Mathematical Olympiad.
His talent in mathematics is beyond doubt.
Zhu Weiping has recently been struggling to interpret Lu Ming's local approximation NPC theory.
Mathematics is something where even a slight difference in intelligence can create a huge dimensional barrier that's impossible to overcome.
"How about this, let's see how things go after they officially submit their application!" Upon hearing Zhu Weiping's words, Lu Ming immediately realized that the other party really wanted to intercept them.
Jiangsu University of Science and Technology's graduate and doctoral students are admitted through a unified national examination and admission system.
All students must take a written test, and only those who pass can participate in the first round of interviews organized by the school.
After passing the first round of interviews, they can already be considered as graduate and doctoral students at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.
At this point, students can participate in the second round of interviews conducted by their supervisors and various research teams, based on their own preferences.
Even if you don't pass the interview with this mentor, you can still participate in interviews with other mentors and teams on the Jiangsu University of Science and Technology campus.
If you don't want academicians, you can try applying to Changjiang Scholars, Outstanding Young Scientists, or Ten Thousand Talents Program members. If all else fails, try applying to regular professors or associate professors.
After one interview after another, you can eventually find a mentor who is willing to take you on.
This mechanism is mainly to prevent tutors from cheating and giving preferential treatment to the children of relatives and friends during the interview process.
Therefore, Lu Ming did not know which students wanted to apply for his graduate program, but the school, departments, and the Institute of Intelligence Science knew.
During the first round of interviews, all students were required to fill out an application form listing their preferred research teams and specific advisors, from highest to lowest preference.
Vice Principal He came here today to discuss this matter, so he decided to tell Lu Ming in advance: "Although the results of the first round of graduate student interviews have not yet been released, there are indeed several hundred students who want to apply for your graduate program this year. Director Zhu and I are both quite shocked."
The main reason is that the students are of very high quality.
Director Zhu was envious and jealous, and wanted to keep some of the best ones for himself.
"I'll take a look at their application materials after they arrive. If it's not good enough, they can study with me under my supervisor."
Lu Ming glanced at Director Zhu briefly.
It turns out that the Institute of Intelligent Science and Technology wanted to poach students from the Lightweight Research Center, and they were preparing to take action after giving advance notice.
