Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 429: The Professor in Charge
When Chen Zhou heard the lecture Liu Maosheng mentioned, he was obviously stunned.
For him, he never leaves the front door or steps out of the back door.
How could you possibly know about the lecture?
So far, the professors in this school only know Professor Artin and Professor Friedman.
As for Dr. James, Chen Zhou didn't know whether he was a doctor or a professor...
Liu Maosheng's questioning voice came again on the phone, bringing Chen Zhou back to his senses.
"Excuse me..." Chen Zhou asked in confusion, "What lecture?"
Liu Maosheng was also stunned when he heard Chen Zhou's words. He then asked in confusion: "You didn't know about Professor Ating's lecture? Aren't you his graduate student?"
"Uh..." Chen Zhou seemed a little embarrassed.
As a graduate student under Professor Ating, he had no idea about his teacher's lectures.
This is indeed a bit... beneath my dignity...
But, Chen Zhou thought again, this can’t be blamed on me?
Professor Atin taught himself in a laissez-faire manner and completely ignored everything.
And I have become accustomed to this rhythm of studying and researching on my own.
At the same time, Professor Ating also began to study in a reverse way.
Therefore, there is communication between teachers and students, in addition to the first meeting.
Only occasional email communication.
No more face-to-face communication.
"You really don't know?" Liu Maosheng's surprised voice reached Chen Zhou's ears.
"Ahem..." Chen Zhou coughed twice and then said, "I know this. As soon as you told me, I knew it..."
Liu Maosheng was speechless. As Professor Ating's new disciple, he didn't even know the teacher's lecture schedule...
Liu Maosheng really couldn't understand how Chen Zhou and Professor Ating got along with each other?
He also couldn't understand. Doesn't Professor Ating have any orders over his graduate students?
You know, his mentor calls him from time to time.
What are you printing? What are you copying?
It's just a bunch of trivial things, so he won't stop.
They even gave it a nice name, saying that they were intentionally training him.
"Brother Liu, where is the lecture? When does it start?"
Seeing that Liu Maosheng had been silent for a long time, Chen Zhou took the initiative to ask.
Liu Maosheng replied: "This afternoon at 2 o'clock, in the small auditorium where you held your last lecture."
Chen Zhou: “Oh…”
Liu Maosheng then asked: "Then will you go in the afternoon?"
Chen Zhou thought for a while, then said, "Let's go and have a listen. I also want to find Professor Ating."
"Okay." Liu Maosheng responded, and said, "Then Lao Zeng and I will come to see you this afternoon. We'll go together."
Chen Zhou replied: "Then I'll wait for you guys to come over this afternoon."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhou prepared to go out to find Yang Yiyi.
This time was better than last time. Chen Zhou walked to the door and stopped.
Last time, I saw a call from Liu Maosheng before I set off.
Chen Zhou stopped at the door and saw the door slowly opening.
Then Yang Yiyi came in carrying a packing box.
Seeing Chen Zhou at the door, Yang Yiyi was slightly stunned, and then she looked carefully at Chen Zhou who was about to go out.
She smiled and said, "Want to go out?"
Chen Zhou touched his nose. Well, he was delayed by a phone call. Now everyone is back...
Taking the packing box from Yang Yiyi, Chen Zhou said casually, "I was going to pick you up, but before I left, you came back."
"Is that so..." Yang Yiyi looked at Chen Zhou and smiled slightly, "It seems that we are in sync with each other~"
Chen Zhou smiled softly: "Of course."
Then, Chen Zhou put the take-away box on the dining table, opened it, and arranged the food one by one.
Yang Yiyi hadn't eaten yet. After she came back from Rainer Weiss, she went straight to the cafeteria to buy these.
"Yiyi, why are you back so late? Professor Weiss has assigned you a lot of tasks?" Chen Zhou picked up a fried chicken leg and asked while eating.
Yang Yiyi nodded, then shook her head: "There are quite a . But the main purpose is to check the information he left behind before he left."
Chen Zhou asked in surprise: "Professor Weiss still cares whether you have read the information or not?"
It's no wonder that Chen Zhou was surprised. Since he started college, there has been no other professor except Zhang Zhongyuan who has a special liking for homework.
Chen Zhou has never seen many professors who can manage their students.
Anyway, whether you study or not is your own business. They can't and don't have the energy to control you.
Yang Yiyi explained: "It's not asking questions directly from the information, it's an extended Q&A."
Chen Zhou thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "You mean , to conduct an extended Q&A session on the previous information?"
"Yes." Yang Yiyi nodded gently, "Starting from theoretical knowledge, to the combination of experiment and theory. How to use theoretical knowledge to design detection methods."
Chen Zhou now understood that Professor Weiss seemed to be quite conscientious in his duties.
It doesn't mean that once you become a hands-off boss, you will just let the sheep run wild.
I didn’t say anything, no matter what your level is, just help me.
Regarding Yang Yiyi's questions and answers, Chen Zhou guessed that he was trying to understand the depth of Yang Yiyi's learning.
What kind of grasp do you have of the previous information?
In this way, Yang Yiyi can be given a reasonable research job in the subsequent arrangements.
I have to say that this is a responsible professor.
No wonder it is said that Professor Weiss was able to obtain tenure thanks to his teaching work.
Sure enough, Yang Yiyi said again: "After a while, I may have to go to LIGO with Professor Weiss for a while to conduct research on the subject there."
Chen Zhou smiled slightly, it was pretty much what he guessed.
So, Chen Zhou said, "This is a good thing. It means that Professor Weiss has his own ideas about your position. It's pretty good to have such a responsible professor."
When Yang Yiyi heard what Chen Zhou said, she smiled and asked, "Are you saying this because Professor Arting and Professor Friedman just let you go like this?"
Chen Zhou's expression immediately straightened when he heard this: "How is that possible? Professor Ating has a lecture this afternoon. I'll be there soon!"
Yang Yiyi asked in surprise: "Did Professor Ating tell you that?"
Chen Zhou hesitated and did not answer.
At this time, there was a knock on Chen Zhou's dormitory door.
Chen Zhou's heart skipped a beat, but he still got up and opened the door.
Just as Chen Zhou thought, standing outside the door were Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu who were smiling at him.
After letting the two of them in, Chen Zhou sat back at the dining table and asked in confusion, "Have you two eaten? Why are you here so early?"
After hearing Chen Zhou's words, Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu thought that Chen Zhou was inviting them to eat together.
The two of them quickly said politely: "We have already eaten. We went to the cafeteria to have lunch early in the morning."
After a pause, the two added: "You guys eat, you're welcome..."
Chen Zhou: “???”
