She Is From The Countryside - Chapter 249
249 Shortening the time in school
She had prepared it a long time ago and had asked the aunt next door to help her get it from her room a few days ago.
since it was a visiting ceremony, the herbs she prepared were naturally not ordinary herbs. there were two ginsengs, one of which was a hundred-year-old ginseng, which she had spent some effort to buy and personally prepare.
professor chen had already learned from professor li that shi yan had good skills in processing medicinal herbs, so he was not surprised. he took it and said, ” “you child, you’re already here, what gift did you bring?”
!!
“Have a seat and talk to professor li for a while. I’ll go to the kitchen and cook two more dishes. If I had known you were coming, I would have bought some delicious food and waited for you. I was in a hurry today, so I just ate a little. You can come and try my cooking another day.”
“it’s me who came here without warning.”
don’t say such things. Professor li doesn’t say it, but in his heart, he sees you as his disciple and daughter. Just treat it as if you’re home.
Shi Yan naturally understood. She smiled and said,”I’ll go to the kitchen to help you.”
“no need, no need. go play chess with professor li and talk to him. i’ll be done soon.”
professor li closed the door and walked over. he snorted at her. “I know you’re good at cooking. Don’t show off. You’ll have the chance to cook in the future. let’s go, play chess with me. ”
The chessboard was in the living room, and the two of them played chess there.
“i heard that you’ve caused quite a stir since the start of the semester?”
“you’re still concerned about this?” shi yan placed a chess piece on the board and said with a smile.
“hmph, do you think i’m old and can’t play with smartphones or go online? Don’t underestimate me!”
in fact, professor li did not like to surf the internet. he preferred to read books and do research.
The reason why he knew about the discussion about Shi Yan on the campus forum was that he had accidentally overheard a few graduate students talking about a classical beauty who had come to their college. They had mentioned Shi Yan’s name and he had come over to take a look.
When he went over to take a look, a few students who were still discussing excitedly were shocked. In their eyes, professor li was the representative of old-fashioned scholars, and he hated students who did not do their jobs.
“one doesn’t come without a reason. tell me, why did you come to find me?”
“can’t he be here to visit you?” shi yan smiled.
“i believe you’re here to visit me, but do you think you can hide your thoughts from me? If you didn’t have something on, why did you wait until the weekend to come over? why are you in such a hurry?”
“Your eyes are like a torch.”
“Of course. Don’t you see how old I am? I’ve walked more bridges than you have. Don’t beat around the bush, if you have something to say, say it. ”
“you’re still young.”
“Stop your flowery words!”
As he spoke, he looked at the chessboard and pointed to a certain position on the board. “it’s your turn, down here!”
Shi Yan naturally didn’t listen to him and placed a stone elsewhere.
The situation instantly became tense.
“You little girl, you don’t know how to respect the old and cherish the young at all!”
“You’re not old.”
“I’ve indeed come here to ask you something,” Shi Yan said bluntly.
professor li’s hand, which was holding a chess piece, paused and he looked at her in surprise. ” “it’s rare for you to take the initiative to ask me for advice.”
“Tell me, what’s the matter? since it’s rare for you to ask me for advice, i’ll reluctantly give you an answer.”
” i want to study my master’s and phd at haicheng university, and shorten my four years of college life to two years. what are my conditions? ”
professor li was so scared that he dropped the chess piece in his hand.
“finishing your master’s degree and phd in two years, you really dare to think about it!”
“you’ve always been a buddhist, right?” he looked at her and said.
shi yan responded with a faint smile.
professor li continued, ” you’ve never cared about these things. you’ve been studying step by step. you’ve never thought of skipping a grade. why are you so anxious now? ” did you encounter something?”
“No, I just don’t want to waste my time in school.”
Professor li,”Yingluo.”
he glared at her speechlessly and thought,’wasting time in school? you’re the only one who would dare to say such things.”
” with your ability, it’s not a problem for you to finish your master’s and phd in a row. but it’s impossible to finish it in two years. there are too many topics in the course, and your task will be very heavy. ”
“it doesn’t necessarily have to be completed in two years.” shi yan said.
” i’m just trying my best to complete it within two years. if the task is really too heavy, i’m used to being free and i won’t force myself too hard. you can rest assured about this. ”
“just tell me your conditions.”
“first of all, you have to get into the top three of the academy. Second, you must get a perfect score in two-thirds of the subjects.”
“Just like this?”
“That’s all?” professor li looked at her in annoyance. do you think that haicheng university’s exam is easy? More than two-thirds of the subjects have achieved full marks. Haicheng University has been a century-old institution, and our college has a history of nearly a hundred years, but there are only a few people who have achieved this level in so many years.”
” in addition to these two conditions, you must have published at least five papers related to your profession in national journals. at the same time, you must have published at least one paper in an international journal. ”
“this isn’t difficult.”
Shi Yan opened her bag and took out a stack of eight magazines.
Since she had considered taking a master’s degree and a PhD, it was impossible for her to look for professor li without doing any research.
she had already found out the requirements to publish in a journal, so she was surprised when she heard professor li mention those two conditions.
Fortunately, she was bored in high school and had nothing to do for a long time after the college entrance examination, so she only wrote a few papers to submit. Otherwise, it would take at least half a year for her to get the results.
“These two are international level publications, and these six are national level. There are a total of eight chapters in each book, so that’s enough.”
Professor li looked at the journals she took out at once and said, ” “……”
He didn’t really want to talk.
He took a book and flipped through the table of contents. As expected, he saw her name.
after a long while, he calmed down and thought,”the international journal from three years ago?” you were only sixteen then, right? You’ve really surprised me! did you already have a plan?”
Shi Yan shook her head and smiled,”no, I didn’t. I only decided to study my master’s degree and PhD recently.” In the past, I had nothing to do and wanted to write something. I couldn’t waste it, so I just voted casually.”
“they’re all related to their major? When I asked you last year, didn’t you say that you haven’t thought of a major?”
” i’ve also written about other majors, but since i’m studying this major now, i only got someone to find these few books and mail them to me. ”
professor li,”yingluo.”
She didn’t want to speak even more.
“since you have this ability, why did you only score so little in the college entrance examination? And it’s just a few points above the cut-off point!”
shi yan didn’t hide anything and smiled. ” i was planning to finish four years of university in peace. ”
In other words, he didn’t intend to be in the limelight.
who would have thought that she would meet jiang che? on the day of registration, she had dressed up to meet him and was in the limelight.
“And now? And why did you change your mind?”
“i told you just now that i don’t want to waste my time in school.”
“……”
after a long silence, professor li said, ” “There will be a mid-term exam after the National Day holiday. Do well in the mid-term exam and I’ll arrange the rest for you. I’ll apply to the school to personally guide you and try to push back the classes that you can. as long as your exam results meet the requirements and you can finish the topics i assign you on time, you won’t have to attend classes with me every day. i’ll try to make you graduate within three years.”
Shi Yan looked at the old professor in front of her and said sincerely,”Thank you, professor li.”
“i’m already personally guiding you, why are you still calling me professor li?”
since I’m acknowledging you as my master, I’ll have to give you a formal acknowledgment gift. It’s not too late to change my mind after I’ve achieved the standard for my mid-term examination and officially served you tea.
“that’s more like it!” professor li said proudly.
