Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 372: Good thing or bad thing?
After leaving President Sun's office, Chen Zhou was very distressed.
What is this?
The project is over, the money is not spent, and there are still problems...
Although President Sun asked me to write truthfully at the end, I made the details of the reasons more "clear".
However, President Sun’s previous words still left some "shadow" on Chen Zhou.
He is still in the national "Thousand Talents Plan" and has to continue applying for projects.
If the next project funding is cut in half, not to mention whether it will be enough to spend, it will be very uncomfortable just psychologically...
Chen Zhou still remembers the scene when he happily filled in 1.8 million on the application for the topic of the Djebov conjecture.
I still remember the joy and excitement I felt when the project was approved and I received the 1.8 million yuan in funding.
But who knew that this was a hole I dug for myself!
I arrived at the library feeling very depressed all the way.
In a familiar position, Yang Yiyi was working on a PPT for her defense.
She and Chen Zhou defended their graduation thesis in physics on the same day.
This was also the graduation defense held by the School of Physics only for two people.
As for the others, they all followed the normal procedures.
Chen Zhou sat down in his seat, turned on his computer, opened a word document, and prepared to write a summary of the project.
However, he deleted it immediately after typing out a line of text.
He was in a bad mood and was not satisfied with his own writing which showed his linguistic talent.
Yang Yiyi, who was standing by, also noticed Chen Zhou's condition at this time.
She looked at Chen Zhou with some confusion.
Didn’t he just solve the Dzhebov conjecture and was in the limelight, being praised by countless people at home and abroad?
Why did you suddenly become so gloomy ?
Yang Yiyi glanced at Chen Zhou who was constantly writing out the deleted topic conclusions and asked aloud, "What's wrong with you? Are you happy?"
Chen Zhou turned his head to look at Yang Yiyi and said with a worried look on his face: "I can't write this topic summary well..."
Yang Yiyi was slightly stunned, then she chuckled and said, "Is there anything that my Kai Xin can't write well?"
Hearing this, Chen Zhou frowned even more tightly, and the word "worry" was really written all over his face.
When Yang Yiyi saw Chen Zhou's expression, she couldn't bear to tease him anymore.
She restrained her smile and asked with concern: "What's the matter, Kai Xin, tell me and I'll give you some advice!"
Chen Zhou looked at Yang Yiyi silently, then slowly recounted his current experience and his very sad mood.
After listening to this, Yang Yiyi smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, be happy. I believe that at your current pace, the difficulty will definitely be higher when you apply for a project next time. In that case, won't it be a problem? Won't this project have much reference value?"
When Chen Zhou heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. It made sense!
As long as I keep getting stronger, there will be no standard to measure me!
"Yiyi, what you said makes sense!"
The sad expression on Chen Zhou's face disappeared immediately, and he regained his energetic look.
Yang Yiyi couldn't help but find it a little funny. It was the first time she saw Chen Zhou with such an expression.
It was also the first time I knew that Chen Zhou would become so sad because of this matter.
This doesn't look like Chen Zhou at all.
Chen Zhou seemed to have guessed what Yang Yiyi was thinking, and continued, "Yiyi , you don't know, the feeling of getting a large amount of research funding is particularly good..."
"Hmm...how should I put it..." Chen Zhou pondered for a moment before continuing, "It's like I don't really want to spend money, but I feel good seeing that there's so much funding for the project..."
Yang Yiyi smiled and shook her head: "You are just a child..."
Chen Zhou chuckled but did not refute.
At least now, Chen Zhou's thoughts on how to write the project summary report are completely open.
You must write truthfully, but you must also make good use of your linguistic talent.
After his thoughts were opened, Chen Zhou didn't spend much time writing the summary report.
On the contrary, the time spent on posting invoices is longer than that spent on writing summary reports.
After taking a look at the summary report of several thousand words, Chen Zhou was very satisfied with some of the words and sentences in it.
"Although I only have level 1 in linguistics, I still have my talent for writing."
Chen Zhou's expression looked slightly complacent.
After checking again and seeing that there were no major mistakes, Chen Zhou saved the Word document, waiting for subsequent printing and handing it over to the technology department.
At this point, except for the graduation thesis defense, the topic of the Jebov conjecture is basically completed.
It can be regarded as a perfect farewell to my undergraduate career.
A few days before the defense, Chen Zhou sent the relevant completion materials of the project to the science and technology department.
The relevant person in charge of the science and technology department has also made preparations long ago and has been waiting to receive the information on this project.
After all, before Chen Zhou proved the Jebov conjecture, it had already attracted great attention.
After it was proven, it received widespread coverage.
Almost everyone in the science and technology department, and almost every candidate selected for the country's "Thousand Talents Plan", is paying attention to Chen Zhou.
In an office in the technology department.
Director Li Zhenbang, who was previously in charge of the national "Thousand Talents Plan" selection, is now reviewing the final project materials submitted by Chen Zhou.
Standing aside was the subordinate responsible for receiving the information.
Li Zhenbang read very seriously. He did not miss a single page of the thick stack of information and read it all.
After reading it, Li Zhenbang's expression was quite interesting.
The subordinate standing nearby saw Director Li's expression and immediately asked, "Director, are you particularly surprised?"
Li Zhenbang looked up at his subordinate named Zhu Haichang and nodded slightly: "I am quite surprised."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Haichang added, "I really don't know whether to say that this student Chen Zhou is brave or that he doesn't understand the situation. This is the first project completed by this year's batch of candidates in the National Thousand Talents Program. It is also the fastest one completed in all these years."
"It just so happens that this topic is the Djebov conjecture, a world-class mathematical problem. The most important thing is that he not only took a short time and was highly efficient, but also spent the least amount of research funds in history."
"This is the first time I've seen a scientist who can solve a world-class problem with just 100,000 yuan. It can be said that he has set an example that no one likes for all those selected for the program."
When Zhu Haichang said this, he was observing Li Zhenbang's expression.
As long as Li Zhenbang had a strange expression, he would not say the following words.
Will change the tone in time and cover up the past in a humorous way.
But Li Zhenbang's expression didn't change at all.
Only then did he muster up the courage to speak out.
But in fact, these matters concerning scientific research funding can be handled by anyone in this circle.
Especially those who manage funds, few of them don’t know about it.
Li Zhenbang suddenly chuckled, looked up at Zhu Haichang and asked, "Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
