From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

A few days later, a mathematics professor surnamed Zhao from a certain university was dismissed for some reason, and at the same time, a certain mathematics research institute where he worked also dismissed him.

This piece of news did not attract much attention, but it has attracted the attention of many people in the academic circle.

The academic circle is not big or small, but the circulation of news is very fast. Now everyone knows that this professor surnamed Zhao is openly trying to tamper with that Lin Xiao's student's graduation defense, to let Lin Xiao's reputation was damaged, but the final goal was not achieved. Instead, he left the education post because of the sanction from the Beijing University of Mathematics.

No one knows where this professor surnamed Zhao will go in the future, but in short, people also know another thing, that is, don't try to use some small tricks to smear Lin Xiao, otherwise, the last unlucky person may be himself .

Therefore, from now on, such people have become more restrained, at least they will not criticize Lin Xiao in public.

It's not like this kind of public criticism of Lin Xiao has never happened before. After all, people like Mr. Yang will also be criticized in various ways, but Lin Xiao never cared about it.

For him, he might as well bring Chen Mingkai to familiarize himself with the Dingguang Research Institute first.

"This is the dormitory for your intern researchers in the future. Of course, you can also live outside. The institute also has rental subsidies."

"In addition, our research institute also has a settlement policy. If you become an associate researcher in our research institute in the future, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the settlement policy, that is, move your household registration to Shanghai."

"In this way, it will be more convenient if you want to buy a house in Shangjing in the future."

"and also……"

In the Dingguang Research Institute, Lin Xiao personally led his disciples to get to know their research institute.

And Chen Mingkai showed excitement.

His doctorate certificate has come down, and the same graduation certificate has come down, and now he has become a doctor, and now he has come to the Dingguang Research Institute he dreamed of. Just now, he has signed a contract and became a trainee researcher.

"Thank you, Professor Lin." He said gratefully. After all, Lin Xiao, as the director, was able to take him, an intern researcher, around the research institute in person, which was already taking good care of him.

With his emotional intelligence, of course he also knew the reason why Lin Xiao took him here, and obviously told the people in the institute that he was under Lin Xiao's cover.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the Dingguang Research Institute is no exception. In order to let Chen Mingkai lay a good foundation in the research institute as soon as possible, Lin Xiao also went out in person.

"Hehe, I will be called the director in the research institute from now on, um..." Lin Xiao thought about it again, and then said, "Forget it, you can call me whatever you want."

When calling the director, there is always a weird feeling similar to "the director fell in love with me when there was a fire on the mountain".

Chen Mingkai smiled, they were all young people, but he could understand what Lin Xiao meant.

"By the way, professor, my thesis has been sent to the mailbox of the Annual Journal of Mathematics. How long will it take for them to reply?"

At this moment, Chen Mingkai suddenly asked.

Lin Xiao touched his chin, and then said: "If it was me, it would take about two or three days. As for you..."

"Your corresponding author wrote my name, right?"

"Yeah." Chen Mingkai nodded again and again, jokingly, the corresponding author is equivalent to self-reporting his family, his tutor is so awesome, of course he has to add his name.

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Then...about two weeks."

"Two weeks?" Chen Mingkai's face suddenly revealed a surprised expression. He could get a reply from the "Annual of Mathematics" in two weeks. Years are not impossible.

But at this time Lin Xiao shook his head again and said, "Well, actually I don't have much experience either."

He spread his hands and said, "It's the first time for me to be a corresponding author. Maybe it's a week, maybe it's three weeks."

Chen Mingkai: "..."

How come there is a feeling of being pretended by my mentor again?

But at this moment, Lin Xiao's cell phone rang, and he saw that it was from the United States.

Looking at the phone number, it seems to be... Peter Sarnak?

Peter Sarnak is a professor of mathematics at Princeton University and the editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics.

At this time, the phone call is...

Lin Xiao glanced at Chen Mingkai, and then connected the phone.

"Professor Sanak."

Professor Sanak's voice came from the opposite side: "Professor Lin, long time no see."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Yeah, long time no see. Is there something going on with Professor Sanak this time?"

"Oh, that's right, we have received a submission here, and the corresponding author wrote your name, so I want to confirm with you." Sanak said with a smile: "You know, in order to avoid that kind of scribbling The situation of the corresponding author, so we have to confirm with the corresponding author himself, especially a mathematician like Professor Lin."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "So that's the case. The author of that paper is called Chen Mingkai, isn't he? He is my student, so don't worry."

"So it's like this, hey, I forgot that Professor Lin has been a professor for several years, and indeed he should have students." Sanak said, "Since I'm your student, then I have to read this paper, Well, I'll reply within a week and see how your students are doing."

Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Well, I didn't expect you, the editor-in-chief, to personally review the manuscript. That would be my student's luck."

"Haha, it's just reading papers, something you do every day, okay, then I won't bother you."

"Okay, bye."

Lin Xiao smiled and hung up the phone.

Then he looked at Chen Mingkai, "Well, looking at it now, I will reply to you in about a week. The person I know at the "Annual of Mathematics" just called me to confirm the identity of the corresponding author. "

An excited expression suddenly appeared on Chen Mingkai's face: "Can you reply to me in a week? That's really great!"

I didn't expect that he could also enjoy this kind of treatment of getting a reply within a week.

"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded, and then said: "And it's probably not just the reply, it should be directly related to whether the manuscript can be submitted."

Chen Mingkai was taken aback: "Ah? Is this going to be finalized?"

Lin Xiao said with a smile: "The man I know is the editor-in-chief of "Annual Mathematics", named Peter Sarnak, who was also the winner of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics."

Chen Mingkai was stunned.

What?
The editor-in-chief of the "Annual of Mathematics", the Wolf Mathematics Award personally reviewed the manuscript for him?
This……

The pressure came up immediately.

"Professor, this...wouldn't be a problem?"

His face was bitter.

Seeing his expression, Lin Xiao suddenly said angrily: "What are you afraid of, I am a double winner of the Fields Medal and the Wolff Prize in Mathematics. I have submitted manuscripts here. I don't think there is any journal in the world. I won't pass it to you."

Hearing this, Chen Mingkai's expression was relieved.

"Yes!"

Good guy, he forgot that his most respected mentor is actually even better, and made a mistake.

Especially now it is rumored that his mentor can actually win all the awards in the mathematics world, but because of some well-known secrets, those well-known foreign awards did not consider Lin Xiao, otherwise, his I'm afraid there are even more mathematics awards that the tutor can get.

So, what else is there to say?
Chen Mingkai directly chose to lick.

It's only natural to lick one's own mentor.

Although it is not a mentor now, it is also a director, it's all the same.

"Professor my admiration for you..."

"All right, all right, you can do the rest, I'll leave you alone." Lin Xiao waved his hand, too lazy to talk to this kid.

"Okay, you are busy, I will go now."

Chen Mingkai smiled and said goodbye to Lin Xiao.

Seeing Chen Mingkai walking around excitedly, Lin Xiao shook his head.

But then the corners of his mouth twitched again. Although he had reaped the real happiness of being a teacher in Chen Mingkai's defense, he still had some small happiness in pretending in front of the students occasionally.

Nodding with a smile, he then returned to his office, dealt with some things he needed to approve, and then continued his research work.

However, not long after he returned to the office, there was a knock on the door, and four intern researchers walked in.

These four researchers are the programmers who wrote the test for the unification of quantum mechanics and relativity for Lin Xiao. Of course, they are also people in computational materials science.

Seeing them coming in, Lin Xiao knew what they were looking for him for, that is, for the 40 funds he promised at the beginning.

Then he smiled and said, "What? After a few months, have you found the subject you want to study?"

"Yes, Lin Shen, we plan to cooperate in research, and this is the research project."

One of them nodded, then took out a plan and handed it to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao took over the plan, which was very solid. It seemed that these people had spent several months and prepared well.

In this way, Lin Xiao suddenly felt that the 40 was worth it.

After opening the plan, he suddenly felt that it was more worthwhile.
