Chapter 282 The Deeper the Love, the Longer the List of Literature
"Good afternoon, professor!"
"Come and sit down!"
Hopkins had already looked up Lu Youyou's information and knew that she majored in marine engineering in college and had received almost full marks in her professional courses from her freshman to senior year.
Although American schools do not recognize Chinese scores, Huaqing University is the top university in China. Even if there is a gap in level, a full score is still a full score after all.
Due to confidentiality reasons, Lu Youyou's research results on seawater desalination were not written in the archives, but a series of full marks were already eye-catching enough.
After listening to her report again today, Hopkins is now full of curiosity about this Chinese student.
"Can you briefly tell me what you studied in college?"
It is both an understanding and an assessment. Many people have learned but cannot express it.
Of course, Lu Youyou is not among these people.
In addition to her unparalleled memory, her logical thinking ability and ability to summarize and generalize are also top-notch.
It’s just a large project report spanning four years, a piece of cake.
There was a lot of content, and even after Lu Youyou summarized it, it still took half an hour. Hopkins did not interrupt and listened carefully.
The more I listened, the higher the score in my heart became, and it kept rising to 90 with no sign of slowing down.
100, 100+, ∞…
Hopkins didn't speak for a long time until Lu Youyou stopped.
He was fifty-three years old this year and had seen countless geniuses, including himself. He thought he would no longer be moved by a talented young man, but he didn't expect...
On an ordinary day, in an ordinary professional class, an ordinary yet not-so-ordinary international student appeared.
It is a miracle, an absolute miracle, that such stunning flowers can bloom in the barren academic soil on the other side of the ocean!
Lu Youyou was used to seeing this kind of look, from the head of the kitchen team Zhou Dazhu, to the director of the health center Zheng Weimin, to Director Luo of the 507th Institute, to Dean Luo and Dean Qian of Tsinghua University...
However, compared to Dean Luo's "audacity" in directly adding responsibilities to her regardless of whether she was a freshman or not, Professor Hopkins was a little more reserved.
He took out a piece of paper from the drawer, and judging from the handwriting, it seemed to be written by him.
"Here are the reference books and literature I have listed for you. Read them through as soon as possible. For books, just write a review and write down your thoughts and questions. For papers, write a review and also write down your thoughts and questions. It doesn't need to be too long. Try to keep it to a few hundred words or less..."
A familiar feeling came over her, and Lu Youyou seemed to have returned to her study abroad days in her previous life.
A mentor's love for his or her students is often expressed through the amount of reading; the deeper the love, the longer the list of references.
The textbooks are thin and the reference materials are thick. A 40-minute class or 40 hours in the library is not enough.
Looking at the densely packed paper in front of her, even on both sides, Lu Youyou has already felt the heavy love of the academic giant, like the Five Finger Mountain.
"Thank you, I will finish reading it as soon as possible."
"No rush, this is the content for one semester, just hand it over to me before the end of the semester."
I don’t think this list is a burden at all. It’s a bit too much, but if you want to learn something, how can you not read books?
Coincidentally, Lu Youyou thought the same way.
One of the purposes of her coming to the United States was to practice copying and remember as much as she could. Now she has top professionals to help her point the way, saving her a lot of effort in finding a needle in a haystack.
The conversation was satisfying to both parties.
Hopkins was very happy, not only because he had discovered a super genius, but also a hardworking genius.
Lu Youyou was also very happy. The favor of academic leaders is a shortcut to the top of the pyramid. She attracted the attention of Hopkins shortly after the start of the school year and her progress far exceeded expectations.
A thin piece of letter paper made Lu Youyou devote all her spare time to the library, and the colorful university life had nothing to do with her.
At first she was alone, but after a few days she had a little tail.
You can't say it's small, after all, a 1.80-meter-tall double-door sturdy man doesn't look small at all.
"Lu, I brought you a bottle of Coke."
The stool next to him was gently pulled away, and a familiar voice was heard, followed by a bottle of steaming Coca-Cola.
Lu Youyou turned around and saw a face with a bright smile. Jack showed eight neat white teeth and his face was red after exercise.
And there was John, he also greeted Lu Youyou with a smile.
The five-member group did not disband after the report was finished, mainly because the remaining four people strongly requested that they not disband.
What a happy thing it is to have a classmate with a super smart brain. They have already experienced it and certainly don’t want to let go of this big treasure Lu Youyou easily.
Because Lu Youyou hangs out in the library every day, they will come when they are free. Today it is Lucia, tomorrow it will be John, and only Jack Ray shows up every day without fail.
He fell in love with Lu Youyou at first sight, and fell in love with her even more the more he saw her.
However, he didn't dare to confess.
Lu Youyou never showed any special treatment to him. In fact, because of his high "attendance rate", Lu Youyou was more distant to him than to John and the others.
But the American boy doesn't know what giving up means. He is at an age full of passion and will not retreat when faced with a little difficulty.
So he still shows up when he should, but not too enthusiastically to be annoying, and keeps a distance that is neither too far nor too close.
At this time, a voice came from behind.
"Tsk, you lick the dog."
The three of them turned around at the same time, and Jack was immediately furious. Why was that sour chicken again!
If they hadn't been in the library, he would have already punched him. Even if he couldn't fight, he would have stood up and stood in front of the boy.
John immediately stood up to stop the man, and glanced coldly at the head covered with hair gel: "Please be careful with your words."
Hairspray has straight hair and dresses neatly, and you can tell at a glance that he comes from a good family. But as I said before, he only dares to speak out against Jack and cannot argue with John's father, the congressman.
He turned away without a word, and John pulled Jack over and pushed him back into his seat.
Some people around were attracted by the noise, and John apologized in a low voice.
Seeing that Jack still looked unhappy, he poked him with his arm and made the sound of "calm down" with his mouth.
Of course Jack knew he had to stay calm, but when his true thoughts were exposed in front of Lu Youyou, he was so embarrassed that his face turned red all the way to the back of his ears.
He carefully glanced to the left with his peripheral vision and saw that Lu Youyou had turned her attention back to the book. He didn't know whether to be relieved or worried.
Confession, or maintaining the status quo?
The young boy's heart was in ups and downs and he couldn't calm down for a moment.
Lu Youyou was immersed in the sea of books and learning without distraction. When it was lunchtime and people around her were packing up, she decided to take a break and fill her stomach first.
At this moment, someone suddenly patted her shoulder, and Song Yunqing's furry red head popped out from the left.
"Hey, I finally found you!"
