Chapter 357: Four teachers and students, none of them have good eyes

On the way from his seat to the classroom door, Lin Xiangnan walked extremely slowly, but he just couldn't figure out what bad thing he had done to attract the dean of the college.

Before she could think of what to say, the dean asked her, "Tell me yourself, did you do this properly?"

"I must be wrong."

Lin Xiangnan admitted his mistake obediently, and then asked honestly: "But Dean, can you tell me clearly where I went wrong?"

As soon as these words came out, the dean instantly slid from the moral high ground to the middle of the hillside, and asked in disbelief: "So you don't know where you went wrong? Good fellow, you are even more arrogant than your teacher."

The dean quickened his pace and walked forward angrily, and Lin Xiangnan jogged after him.

"Why are you bringing up my teacher? Dean, where are we going?"

"Go to the principal's office." The dean snorted twice and said, "The principal is reasoning with Professor Wang. Let me ask you to go and edify him. You are a student of our school. Should you bring your paper to our school? Do you know that our school is on the rise now..."

To improve the ranking and international status, scientific research results must not lag behind. However, the college entrance examination has only been implemented for a few years, and there are few talents to be trained. The teachers are also getting older and they have to teach students, so there is not enough time and energy left for research.

This shows that every paper published in a top foreign journal is very important.

When Lin Xiangnan was led to the principal's office by the dean, he saw Professor Wang was also being nagged.

"Students are ignorant, so you are not ignorant either. To be more specific, Xiaolin is a member of the school, and our school is not short of experimental funds. If you have any scientific research projects, can't you apply to the school?"

Professor Wang was indeed in the wrong, so he could only smooth things over, "Oh, I really forgot. I didn't mean to do it. I'll definitely do it next time."

School has just started and there is a lot to do. Professor Wang also has to deal with several new graduate students and attend several meetings at school, so she has spent most of her time in school these two days.

Yesterday afternoon, the institute received a reply from abroad, as well as a sample issue. Professor Wang shared this with several colleagues in the institute at that time.

Early this morning, Professor Wang came to school and pretended to share casually with other old friends, including the dean and the president.

"My student has finally learned her lesson. The value of her paper is quite high. Teachers in ordinary colleges and universities may not be able to reach Xiaolin's current level..."

The principal was very happy to hear that the children in the school were doing well. But after hearing the rest, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He was sad to find that Lin Xiangnan was delivering his paper and did not bring it to school to play.

Professor Wang argued on the spot, "I published papers before, all of which were for research institutes. I haven't published any papers since I came to teach at the school, so I didn't react for a while."

Before the college entrance examination, it was not Professor Wang's turn to help the workers, peasants and soldiers. She was invited back by the dean to help train students after the college entrance examination was restarted.

Many teachers in the school are here as part-timers, and they are all serious bigwigs in their own industries.

So the principal could only nag a few words and didn't even have the courage to scold people.

Regarding the thesis issue, Professor Wang took the blame, and Lin Xiangnan was nagged by Professor Wang when he was unable to defend himself.

But when they left the principal's office, Lin Xiangnan and Professor Wang were forced to swear that the next time they published a paper, the unit they cited must be the school.

When he swore, Professor Wang looked very serious. But when he left the office, he pouted and complained, "What era is this? It's not scientific at all to swear."

Lin Xiangnan smiled secretly.

You can't beat or scold them, and you can't use scientific research funds to control them, so the only thing you can do is swear an oath, which is an idealistic thing.

"The school has arranged a laboratory with basic equipment. I'll give you the key later. You and Ding Yougui can take your juniors to clean up the place."

Knowing that the school also had territory, Lin Xiangnan immediately smiled, but still couldn't help asking: "Teacher, didn't you say it was inconvenient before?"

"The principal forced it on me. We can't use the school's name and spend the institute's funds. That doesn't make sense."

Professor Wang said helplessly: "I'll leave this lab to you guys. I won't worry about it. I believe you guys know your limits."

"Okay." Lin Xiangnan nodded happily.

I don't have to work under the teacher's supervision, and I have several younger classmates to help me. Life is definitely more comfortable than in graduate school.

"Here, here's the sample magazine for you, and you can go to class. I have a meeting in the afternoon, so you can cover two classes for me." Professor Wang looked at his watch and left in a hurry.

Lin Xiangnan walked towards the classroom while flipping through the sample magazine in his hand.

After returning to the classroom, Lin Xiangnan threw the things in his hand to Ding Yougui and Wei Dongliang, and said calmly: "Look, this is the result of our several months of work..."

Before Lin Xiangnan could finish his words, Wei Dongliang screamed like a groundhog, which scared Lin Xiangnan.

"Ahhh~ Sample issue! I got accepted hehe!"

Wei Dongliang was not steady, and Ding Yougui was not much better. The two of them flipped through the sample issues one by one.

The noise they made attracted the attention of other students in the classroom, and they all came over to watch the fun.

"What's going on? Let me see. Let me see. Holy shit! Awesome!"

"Good boy, you guys did something big without making any noise."

"There's something interesting about this paper. It's very hardcore. Don't fight with me for it. Let me take another look."

As more and more students rushed to read the paper, the three parties involved were pushed aside.

Ding Yougui and Wei Dongliang didn't mind either. Their expressions were a little dazed, as if they were walking on the clouds and hadn't landed yet.

"I was so worried after not hearing any news for such a long time, fearing that the manuscript would be rejected or asked to undergo major revisions." Wei Dongliang said thankfully, "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief now."

Ding Yougui felt the same way. "Me too. Now I feel at ease."

“Not really. This is a journal that teachers often submit to. Although it is blindly reviewed by peer reviewers, teachers are familiar with the review habits. Our papers are of high quality, so there will definitely be no problem.” Lin Xiangnan said confidently.

When the results came out, Lin Xiangnan was excited for two days. After submitting the paper, she waited too long and her anticipation was completely wiped out.

Lin Xiangnan's calmness did not affect the excitement of Ding Yougui and Wei Dongliang at all.

Ding Yougui asked expectantly, "The dean just called you over. Was he praising you? The three of us will definitely get a share of the scholarship this year."

Lin Xiangnan's expression was hard to describe. "You two should take a look at the unit information on the paper."

Ding Yougui and Wei Dongliang looked at each other with the same shocked expression, and quietly admitted their mistakes, "We wrote the first draft of the paper."

Lin Xiangnan also admitted his mistake, "I changed it once."

"The teacher also made some minor repairs for us." Ding Yougui added.

Among the four teachers and students, none of them has good eyesight.
