When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 317: University Alliance, Exchange and Training

in the office.

When Wang Donglai heard the news Xu Songyao said, he was actually very calm.

A second-level professor is nothing.

With his academic achievements, if it were some other professor, he would have been elected as an academician long ago.

Now, he is only hired as a second-level professor, which is nothing at all.

Xu Songyao and the leaders of Tangdu Jiaotong University also noticed Wang Donglai's expression. They were all smart people and naturally knew the reason behind it.

"Donglai, actually this second-level professorship is nothing to you. It's just that the selection of academicians is quite complicated. Your age is also a factor. In two years, you should have a chance."

Xu Songyao thought about it and decided to explain.

"Yes, I know!"

Wang Donglai's tone was calm, and he did not show any resentment or unhappiness.

The others didn't think much about it and started to congratulate him.

However, only Xu Songyao could hear the hidden meaning behind Wang Donglai's words.

Understanding does not mean acceptance!

As he said, such academic achievements should have received due treatment and honor, but were stuck because of age.

How can this be convincing!

soon.

After everyone else left, Xu Songyao continued, "Donglai, our country has its own national conditions. The selection of academicians is quite complicated. If you believe me, you can wait for another two years and you should be nominated. By then, you will be around 30 years old and be selected as an academician. You will also be the youngest academician in the country."

"As for the rest, our school will fully support you in whatever it can and will give you, and it will definitely not be less than what an academician should receive."

The reason why Xu Songyao said this was because he was really afraid that Wang Donglai would be dissatisfied because he was not selected as an academician.

However, Wang Donglai's reaction surprised Xu Songyao.

"Uncle Xu, I know."

"I just came back from the Natural Science Foundation of Beijing. I talked with Director Kang there and raised the 10 million research funding I applied for to 50 million."

In fact, Wang Donglai had figured it all out when he walked out of the Natural Science Foundation office.

What Director Kang Chao said was true, but not complete.

Increasing the research funding from 10 million to 50 million is both a support and a compensation for myself.

Of course, his leaders also have high regard for him and appreciate him.

The 50 million research funds have been approved, and Wang Donglai's name is not included in the selection of academicians, so the matter is actually over.

For the leaders above, that’s it.

These speculations and inferences were not complicated for Xu Songyao.

Just by hearing Wang Dong say these two sentences, I completely understood it.

"Dongla, I hope you can figure it out."

"The old principal has just been promoted, so it's not a good idea to interfere in this matter. But after two years, the problem shouldn't be a big deal, so you can rest assured!"

From the very beginning, Xu Songyao regarded Wang Donglai as the treasure of Tangdu Jiaotong University.

It turned out that he was not wrong.

In just two years, not only did Tangdu Jiaotong University become famous both at home and abroad, but its funding also increased.

You know, because of the history of Tangdu Jiaotong University, the support from Qin Province and Tangdu for Tangdu Jiaotong University is not that strong.

Some people even think about moving out of the school.

However, these voices disappeared immediately after Qin Province and Tangdu announced an increase in funding subsidies to Tangdu Jiaotong University.

Originally, the university funding of Tangdu Jiaotong University was only more than 9 billion yuan, which was not much for a C university.

You have to know that both Peking University and Tsinghua University have 30 to 40 billion yuan in funding. Such a huge funding gap will naturally affect the quality of education.

But with the more than 5 billion yuan contributed by Qin Sheng and Tang Du, the situation was different.

Moreover, Xu Songyao is also confident that as Tangdu Jiaotong University achieves more results, the support from Qin Province and Tangdu City will become greater.

In addition, there is another reason.

That is, Zheng Hua was promoted half a step because of Wang Donglai, and Xu Songyao also took over the position of principal.

Then, in another two years, we may be able to take advantage of Wang Donglai's momentum and make further progress.

Therefore, Xu Songyao's support for Wang Donglai is real and true.

Wang Donglai also understood this.

Discussing deeds, one does not care about one’s heart, and no one is perfect when considering one’s heart.

As long as Tangdu Jiaotong University and Xu Songyao live up to him, that's enough.

"Uncle Xu, I know, but as for the status of academician, I'd better let it take its course. I believe it won't be too far away!"

Wang Donglai stopped Xu Songyao's plan. It goes without saying that Zheng Hua was willing to push Wang Donglai for the election of academician, and this was definitely not entirely because of Zheng Hua's appreciation for Wang Donglai.

Xu Songyao must have done a lot of work in this regard.

"That's...okay!"

Xu Songyao looked at Wang Donglai seriously before nodding and agreeing.

After talking about this matter, Xu Songyao talked about another thing.

"Donglai, after school starts, are you planning to go directly to Tsinghua University or Peking University?"

Wang Donglai said without hesitation: "There's no rush, we can go and see!"

"But I still prefer Tsinghua University!"

Xu Songyao was somewhat surprised by Wang Donglai's answer. In his opinion, Wang Donglai should have chosen Peking University.

After all, everyone knows that Peking University's Department of Mathematics is better than Tsinghua University's.

Wang Donglai's mathematical talent is known to the world.

Wang Donglai also noticed the puzzlement on Xu Songyao's face, so he smiled and explained, "With my math ability, there is no difference between going to these two schools. I might as well study something that interests me!"

After hearing Wang Donglai's explanation, Xu Songyao suddenly understood.

"Well, I'm still very relieved about you and me."

"By the way, the school has also taken care of Xu Zhibin and others' exchange and study."

Logically speaking, it was just a matter involving a few students and wouldn't come to Xu Songyao's attention.

However, whether it is Xu Zhibin, Guo Xing, Chen Mengni, or Wang Qingchen, they all have a close relationship with Wang Donglai.

At the same time, these people are also rare talents.

The C9 University Alliance is an alliance that was originally formed to jointly cultivate elite talents.

Therefore, professors like Wang Donglai can exchange and learn, and so can their students. When Wang Donglai was preparing to go to Peking University and Tsinghua University for exchange, Xu Zhibin and others could also go with Wang Donglai to Peking University and Tsinghua University.

In fact, it is no longer right to call it the Nine Schools Alliance.

It should be called the Ten Schools Alliance because in November 2014, the University of China Academy of Science and Technology also joined.

Ten top domestic universities jointly signed the "Cooperation and Exchange Agreement on Talent Training among First-Class Universities".

The main contents are as follows:

Implementing undergraduate student exchanges and joint training of graduate students means very simply carrying out mutual recognition of course credits and student second campus study exchanges at the undergraduate level. Exchange students can study in another school for one semester or more semesters, and the nine schools recognize the course grades and credits obtained by exchange students during their studies and exchanges at other schools.

At the graduate level, several discipline training platform projects are established based on the advantageous disciplines of each school, such as the engineering disciplines of Tangdu Jiaotong University and the mathematics disciplines of Peking University. These serve as school-level mutual visiting research platforms, accepting applications from graduate students of other schools. After obtaining permission, they can conduct visiting research for half a year or even longer, during which time course grades and credits are mutually recognized.

As for other things, for example, relying on their respective advantageous disciplines, jointly organizing summer schools, offering courses and special lectures for students; jointly carrying out textbook construction, teaching and teaching reform research, course catalogs, and establishing a shared distance education platform; establishing a regular communication mechanism for counterpart departments in talent training, to communicate, learn and draw lessons from each other; jointly carrying out training for young teachers' teaching abilities and young tutor teams.

It was precisely because of the signing of this agreement that Wang Donglai did not refuse the exchange proposal from Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Of course, he had this idea in mind.

It has to be said that the unique status of Peking University and Tsinghua University gives them resources far superior to other schools.

Choosing to go to Peking University and Tsinghua University is also to advance Wang Donglai's plan better and faster.

It was not just Wang Donglai who wanted to go. After accepting the invitation of the guest professor, Wang Donglai thought of bringing his friends from Tangdu Jiaotong University to Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Since the "Agreement on Cooperation and Exchange in Talent Training among First-Class Universities" has such relevant provisions, there is naturally no problem for Wang Donglai to do so.

What's more, whether it is Wang Qingchen or Baili Xiu and others, they are all outstanding students in their respective majors. It is normal and reasonable for them to join the list of exchange learning.

……

When the official website of Tangdu Jiaotong University announced the appointment of Wang Donglai as a second-level professor, it immediately attracted a lot of discussion.

Naturally, Xu Songyao cannot have the final say on the work of colleges and universities. Even if a leadership meeting is held and the decision is passed, it needs to be made public.

Not only that, the official website of Tangdu Jiaotong University also specifically lists all of Wang Donglai’s achievements and honors.

Although Wang Donglai has only won five awards, when these five awards are listed, they are more brilliant than the achievements of others.

At the same time, no one among the teachers and students of Tangdu Jiaotong University questioned Wang Donglai's becoming a second-level professor.

Instead, some people spoke up for Wang Donglai.

After a detailed comparison of various academic achievements, many students with hot tempers felt that the school was going too far in sending Wang Donglai away with just a second-level professor.

In their eyes, Wang Donglai deserves to be selected as an academician based on his achievements.

As a result, up to now, he is only a second-level professor.

"He was a professor the year before last, and he was busy last year, with many academic achievements. Now he is still a professor. Isn't all the work Professor Wang did in vain?"

"Hey, the first principle for adults is to abandon the student mentality. Reality is not a test paper. It is either right or wrong!"

"What's wrong with being a second-level professor? I just searched it and it's pretty impressive. Professor Wang is only 21 years old this year. Some people haven't even graduated yet, but they are already second-level professors. It probably won't take many more years to get to the next level."

"From the beginning of their establishment to now, only a few Chinese have won the three top international awards, the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. Professor Wang won all of them within one year. I think only an academician of the Academy of Sciences deserves such an achievement!"

"The higher-ups must have their own considerations, but I still believe that Professor Wang will be elected as an academician in a few years. I'd say he'll be elected as an academician when he's thirty!"

"..."

On a plane bound for Beijing.

"Donlai, don't take those comments on the Internet to heart!"

Wang Qingchen sat next to Wang Donglai and turned to say this to Wang Donglai.

"That's right, there are all kinds of people on the Internet, don't let them influence you."

Baili Xiu also spoke up.

In response to the two people's persuasion, Wang Donglai nodded.

On this plane, there were not only Wang Qingchen and Baili Xiu, but also Guo Xing, Chen Mengni and others.

They are all exchange students and according to regulations they have to report to school when school starts.

Wang Donglai did not have this request, but he still followed everyone.

In the past two years, as Wang Donglai's achievements have become greater and greater, the gap between him and everyone else has also become larger and larger.

According to common sense, the relationship between the people should become increasingly distant.

But that’s not actually the case.

It’s not surprising that Wang Qingchen is Wang Donglai’s cousin.

Baili Xiu, Ma Rui and Xue Tao were Wang Donglai's roommates, although only for one year.

Guo Xing and Chen Mengni are high school classmates and have a close relationship.

Therefore, even though Wang Donglai's achievements were getting greater and greater, he did not alienate everyone.

Instead, he has always insisted on cultivating everyone.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

With a genius like Wang Donglai around, although everyone has different majors, they are all making rapid progress.

Just like Xu Zhibin, he has won first place in various college mathematics competitions and has become famous.

So does everyone else.

Under the guidance of Wang Donglai, those who should publish papers published them.

The results of the practices have also been published.

It can be said that Wang Donglai really spent a lot of thought on the training of everyone.

Because in his imagination, these friends will be his die-hard fans.

By the time they graduate, their abilities will have been developed in school and they can get started right away.

Moreover, by that time, his plan had reached a critical moment and he needed his own people the most.

"Okay, don't worry about me anymore. Think more about yourselves. I have only one request for you during this exchange study. That is to show the style of our school and your true level and beat those top students who scored better than you in the college entrance examination!"

Wang Donglai looked around and said to encourage everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhibin said with a smug look on his face: "Donglai, I didn't lose to those top students from Peking University and Tsinghua University in the college entrance examination, and in the past two years, I have defeated top students from major universities in various competitions!"

You know what, what Xu Zhibin said was really the truth.

As the provincial top scorer in science that year, he actually did not lose to the top students from Peking University and Tsinghua University in the college entrance examination.

Moreover, he won the first place in both the Qiu Competition and other major competitions, suppressing many top students from Peking University and Tsinghua University.

"Okay, in that case, then you can follow me. I'll also take a look at your current level. It seems like I haven't tested you in a while."

Wang Donglai said this to Xu Zhibin gently with a smile on his face.

However, seeing Wang Donglai like this, Xu Zhibin shuddered, and immediately cried with a sad face, saying with great regret: "Donglai, can I take back what I just said!"
