Chapter 18 First Encounter!
Chapter 18 First Encounter!
The September sun in Han City is bright and beautiful, so hot it feels like you're on fire.
However, Guo Ziyuan still felt that the "scorching" September sun was not even as intense as the woman in front of him.
An Yue is tall and slender, with her hair styled in a bun. She is dressed simply and neatly, and her lips are naturally red and lustrous.
After approaching Guo Ziyuan, he immediately spoke with a sharp tongue: "Let me state my position first: no A, no dates, no talking."
I've met plenty of people like you.
An Yue sat down, her arms crossed over her chest, her pretty face expressionless and her eyes indifferent, keeping everyone at arm's length.
Her body was not the color of ice, but the color of a fiery, poisonous rose.
Upon hearing An Yue's question, which was completely different from his tone and persona during their WeChat chat, even Guo Ziyuan remained silent for a full five seconds.
He calmly spoke up, "Dr. An actually also practices fortune telling? He figured out all my thoughts in a single glance?"
An Yue's expression flickered slightly. With her arms clasped together, she gave Guo Ziyuan a cold look, pointing out his tactics: "A feigned retreat to advance, playing the victim?"
"You're the eleventh person I've met who uses this method to pick up girls; it's so outdated."
"Why don't you change your posture? At least be a little more modern..."
Guo Ziyuan guessed that it might be because he was too eager to ask An Yue to meet him in person that she was so wary!
But there was no other way; Teacher Ding Xianqi had set such high standards for the special exam that Guo Ziyuan had to adapt.
Guo Ziyuan interrupted her: "It's your turn."
An Yue: ? ? ?
"I've already answered you in my heart, why aren't you saying anything?!" Guo Ziyuan slowly reached out to signal An Yue to respond.
Now it's Anyue's turn to not know.
Guo Ziyuan wasn't intimidated by the haughty young girl's demeanor and chuckled, "Shall we talk about serious matters?"
"Then let's get down to business?" An Yue nodded, his expression softening slightly.
"First of all, you must have read my advice, and I don't need to explain the reasons. If you thought it was unreasonable, you certainly wouldn't have come."
"Secondly, you might think I'm deliberately making fun of you, trying to put on a show in front of you."
"You might be a top student or a genius at Kyoto University, but that's Kyoto University. This is Han City; it's too far to help you in your immediate situation, right?"
My suggestion is that you transfer your previous research findings to a prefecture-level city hospital.
"You have good qualifications, but the prefecture-level cities in Hubei Province are not within the jurisdiction or network of your sect, so you can't handle this process." Guo Ziyuan analyzed the situation in Anyue one by one.
"Isn't that right?" An Yue retorted sarcastically when Guo Ziyuan revealed everything himself.
Instead of answering, Guo Ziyuan asked, "Would you believe me if I said I did all this just to take advantage of you, just to get my doctorate?"
An Yue's handsome brows furrowed slightly.
Guo Ziyuan changed her posture, stepping out of her "comfort zone." She had never seen such a way of getting close to her before.
She had also encountered people like Guo Ziyuan who weren't very talented. They were usually very timid and, even if they had feelings for him, they generally didn't dare to express them.
It can cause feelings of inferiority.
After thinking for a moment, An Yue took the initiative to bring up Guo Ziyuan's topic: "Why are you using me? If you want to pursue a doctorate, shouldn't you consult your professor?"
"We've exhausted all our funds. There's no more money in the group for me to do experiments. The money in my mentor's project book is the savings he left for his junior colleagues. I've already exceeded the budget, so I can't use any more."
"I'm not qualified enough. I spent so much money and only managed to publish one article in a core journal."
"Under these circumstances, if I still want to write a paper, I have no money, so I can only contribute my labor."
"Perfect timing, you're good at scientific research and you need some help."
"But the project planning you mentioned is too slow; it'll be so slow it'll affect my exams..."
Guo Ziyuan noticed An Yue's gaze sweeping over him and said, "Don't think about why I came to see you and not the other professors in our department."
"You also came from a research group, so you must be aware of the situation where there are too many people and not enough funding in every research group."
"Am I using other professors' funding to arm myself? Why don't other professors just give their funding to their own students? Is there really such a good thing?"
"Although I consider myself to be of average appearance, I wouldn't dare to be so shameless in my thinking."
"What I want is very clear: I need the opportunity to publish an SCI-indexed research paper before the end of the year, at least in Q2, Q1 would be better!"
An Yue stood firm on his bottom line: "Don't you have any other thoughts?"
Even when she realizes she's in a losing position, this clever and assertive young woman can still find reasons to justify her actions.
Guo Ziyuan laughed: "Would you believe me if I said there was absolutely nothing wrong? Don't you feel frustrated? Don't you suspect there's something wrong with my orientation?"
"The love of beauty is inherent in everyone."
"And I can tell you with certainty that physical appearance is the least valuable thing a girl can have. No girl is eighteen every year, but there are eighteen-year-old girls every year."
"I don't need to pick up trash, nor do I need to turn into a toad and become unable to walk when I see a beautiful woman."
"The eighteen-year-old girl, ten years later, is still full of youthful energy."
"You've been eight years past eighteen." Guo Ziyuan made a figure-eight gesture with his hand, which immediately struck An Yue, leaving An Yue at a loss for words.
An Yue's expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat restrained, and he gritted his teeth:
"You're the first person I've ever met who can open up about their psychological bottom line."
"Then tell me, what can I do to move the preliminary research to a prefecture-level city hospital? I can't offer them any benefits."
"I don't have many connections either..."
For a scientific researcher, the initial stage is the most difficult, as everything has to be started from scratch.
Anyue only has start-up funding for scientific research and has not yet formed its own research project line. Under such circumstances, it still wants to do something.
You either have to wait it out and do it slowly, or you have to find someone to help you.
She encountered some people, most of whom had ulterior motives, and some even used this to blackmail her into having an affair with her!
Guo Ziyuan said, "That's why I invited you here for a face-to-face chat."
"What if you have other, better preparations? Am I not going to become the clown? Am I really just deliberately showing off in front of you?"
"I don't know you well, and this kind of thing can't be explained clearly over WeChat!"
"My plan is to ask my advisor for help."
An Yue thought for a moment and concluded, "So, you mean you'd help me find someone to delegate the preliminary research of the research group to a prefecture-level city hospital, so that I can complete the data collection as soon as possible."
"Is it roughly the bargaining chip for us to collaborate on writing an SCI paper in Zone 2 or Zone 1?" An Yue explained his logic clearly.
"Your understanding isn't wrong... After all, it was you who suggested inviting people to help with the initial data collection."
"It wasn't me who asked you for help..." Guo Ziyuan nodded.
Why is pursuing a master's or doctoral degree good?
First, there's something to learn if you want to, and the skill ceiling is high.
Secondly, there's official formal training. If you have a master, you'll have a grandmaster. And if you're lucky enough, your grandmaster might still be alive!
It all depends on whether you can seize these opportunities...
If you want to learn more skills, master them, and play with the masters, small-scale dabbling won't do, and following the usual steps won't work either.
Guo Ziyuan's physical age is 25, but his mental age is 35, indicating he is mentally mature.
After confirming that the "panel" method was effective and that the "special examination" standard for doctoral studies was too high, Guo Ziyuan had to seek change!
There are too few cases of patients that I can access at the Provincial People's Hospital!
[Complete one stitch and gain 1 skill point.]
[By performing incision, suturing, and bone harvesting, you assist in the completion of the surgery and benefit the patient's treatment, earning 4 skill points.]
Current skill point balance: 5 points.
We need to find a way to get to places where we can have more contact with patients, and we need an excuse for that.
Following Anyue to do research projects was just one of the excuses.
……
Of course, Guo Ziyuan continued to give An Yue a heads-up: "This is just my suggestion, my idea."
Whether my advisor can help is still unknown... it's not a done deal...
"If we ultimately fail... if we don't succeed, we'll have to think of other ways."
"That was just my advisor, not my teacher, and certainly not my father!"
An Yue nodded slowly, his emotions gradually calming down: "Thank you... I understand."
She felt that this person in front of her was more difficult to get along with than anyone she had met before, and that she herself was more passive...
"That's all for now. Wait for my updates."
