Chapter 426: Postgraduate Qualification
Zhao Qishui's words left He Shu unable to refute.
In fact, godfather hadn't spoken so rudely in a long time. This tone reminded He Shu of the time when he first met godfather.
The car wash owner with an untidy beard, covered in grease, living a rough life, and swearing at people at every turn, seemed to have not appeared for a long time.
It seemed that after he went to college, especially after he got to know his grandfather's family, his godfather's attitude towards him gradually became cautious and gentle.
Whenever he interacted with the Qi family, he always dressed neatly, spoke politely, and tried hard to restrain his personality.
The relationship between the two people also changed from making up for each other's inner lack at the beginning to gradually turning into fear of loss.
Even though Zhao Qishui had found his biological son, he still couldn't let go of He Shu and had long regarded He Shu as his own son.
In fact...godfather Zhao Qishui is more sentimental than He Shu.
"dad…"
"Huh?" Zhao Qishui, who had just scolded He Shu, regretted that he spoke too harshly.
"When you come over next month, can you bring me some rice dumplings from Old Wang's shop in the big market?"
He Shu no longer worried about his godfather secretly lending him money to raise the betrothal gift. He knew that in his godfather's eyes, all the hard work he did for his son was worth it and a feeling of accomplishment.
Just like he had never noticed before the envy in his godfather's eyes when he heard Aunt Liu and Uncle Zhang working to save up a house for their son.
"That's easy. I'll order some more in advance so that your grandpa and the others can have a taste. But by the time I get there, the Dragon Boat Festival will have passed... How about I express it to you?"
The father and son did not continue to talk about money, but turned to talking about food. They chatted for about forty minutes before hanging up the phone.
He Shu got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and ran towards the dormitory...
In the days that followed, He Shu no longer worried about who paid more and who paid less.
We are all family, there is no need to divide us so clearly.
The godfather lent him money for the betrothal gift, which was a father's love for his son.
And it is the responsibility of a good son to study hard, live a good life, make good money in the future, and let his godfather enjoy life and be someone he can rely on.
He Shu, who was moved by his godfather time and time again, knew that it was not time for him to set up his own business yet.
Focus more on your studies and do your current work well.
Apart from occasionally having dinner with Xia Miao, occasionally going back to Qi's house, and occasionally taking a look at the house that is being renovated.
The rest of the time was used perfectly by He Shu.
The only bad thing is that ever since he was in Dadu College and was surrounded by people proposing to him.
The place where I could secretly kiss and hug Xia Miao occasionally before was always occupied by other couples.
It has become a new destination for couples to check in at Dadu College...
In early June, Professor Zhang Chenfeng suddenly approached him and asked him if he had considered the idea of becoming a direct PhD student. He left He Shu a guaranteed place in graduate school, but He Shu did not approach him.
He Shu had really thought about it before , but considering that he had failed to show up with this professor so many times before, he was too embarrassed to approach him.
He never thought that Professor Zhang would actually bring it up to him on his own initiative, so what was there to hesitate about?
If you do not go straight to a PhD program, you will first study for a master's degree and then a doctorate, which usually takes 6 years.
If you go straight to a doctorate, it only takes 4 to 5 years to get a doctorate degree after graduating from undergraduate school.
He Shu is not afraid that he will be too old when he gets his doctorate degree, which will affect the value of his future work.
A dual master's and doctoral degree also has certain advantages. It allows you to have options in the future, unlike direct doctoral students who have to go down a single path and if something unexpected happens along the way, they will not be able to graduate successfully.
Then we will most likely face the tragic situation of having no harvest at all in the future.
This influence is not only apparent at graduation, but runs through the entire process of direct doctoral studies. The students are under tremendous mental pressure in their studies and life, and the negative impact can be imagined.
But going straight to a doctoral program from undergraduate is a recognition of one's own level, and secondly it can save more time and energy.
He Shu values the fact that by pursuing a doctorate directly he can focus on a project, conduct in-depth and systematic research, and obtain high-quality results.
Otherwise, especially during the master's degree program, you have to attend classes in the first year and be busy writing the master's thesis, defending the thesis, and taking the doctoral exam in the last year, so the time for scientific research is very limited.
He Shu plans to do scientific research in the future, so all the courses are shortened to two years. Although it will be very tiring and stressful, it is the most suitable for him.
The reason why he did not apply for a guaranteed place in graduate school before was because he was missing out on a few subjects and was in the process of making up for them.
Therefore, he felt that he might not be able to pass the application, but he worked hard during this period of time just to give it a try before the summer vacation.
Now that Professor Zhang had extended an olive branch, He Shu felt only pleasantly surprised.
I discussed with Professor Zhang the artificial intelligence that He Shu has been researching recently.
Professor Zhang also supported him to specialize in this subject in the future. The two chatted for a long time and He Shu was inspired a lot...
After returning, he added some new changes to the plan he had previously designed.
Time flies. Not long after I ate the rice dumplings sent by my godfather, my godfather and his people arrived in Dadu.
Although He Shu has been busy recently, he still took time out to accompany his godfather to the prison to visit Brother Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan has been in Dadu for quite some time. I heard that he is living quite well in prison.
Moreover, Zhao Qishui came to visit him every month, and he had everything he needed for food and daily necessities. Logically, he should have gained some weight.
But when we met again, he still looked the same as before, skinny.
This made Zhao Qishui very worried, fearing that Zhao Yan had suffered too much hardship in the past and had damaged his health.
There are still more than 11 years left in his sentence. He Shu saw that Zhao Yan's previous enthusiasm for learning about cars has now disappeared.
He showed no interest in the art books I gave him, so I knew it was unlikely that he would get a chance to have his sentence reduced this way.
Although his godfather never asked for anything, He Shu knew that he also wanted to reunite with Zhao Yan as soon as possible, instead of applying to visit him in prison every month.
So when He Shu returned to school, while he was busy with various exams, he did not forget to help find a way to reduce Zhao Yan's sentence.
There are not many ways to reduce a sentence. They are either major meritorious service, or invention or major technological innovation.
As for meritorious service, Zhao Yan couldn't provide any clues to any major cases. He had to think about the things that happened in the past. Maybe he wouldn't get any merit and would get himself involved again.
After all, before he went to jail, he also stole and robbed and did all kinds of things, but he was not caught.
Even He Shu never asked whether Xiaolang, or Zhao Yan, had ever killed anyone.
So if you expect to make meritorious contributions in prison, you'll have to rely on luck.
As for invention patents, technological innovations and so on, Zhao Yan doesn’t recognize many words, so what can you ask him to design?
He was unwilling to use the little talent he had for painting in the right way...
