Watching the fat man eating heartily, Yang Jing asked with a smile: "Fatty, what's going on? Why did Professor Wilson help me?"
The fat man put down his knife and fork and wiped the corners of his mouth with his napkin. He was very satisfied with the meal. Even though Yang Jing had only been out for three days, the fat man felt like he had been hungry for three months, so he was really satisfied with this French meal.
"There's no real reason. I just went to Professor Wilson's house for dinner a lot these days. The old man got upset and asked me why I didn't eat at my own home but had to come and eat with him. So I said you're rich and you've gone to France or Germany to hang out, so he got interested."
"Fuck, you're the one who's being naughty, I'm just going out to relax, okay?"
The fat man chuckled, "Actually, Professor Wilson is just concerned about you. You know, due to the issue of immigrants from the Middle East, France and Germany are not very stable, and the whole of Europe is not doing well, especially France. How many terrorist attacks have happened in the past two years? So the professor is afraid that something might happen to you if you go out alone. Besides, a thesis defense is just a matter of that kind. If you have connections, you can arrange it in advance. Professor Wilson has such a good relationship with Professor Fishbird, so it's no problem to arrange a defense for you in advance."
After hearing the fat man's explanation, Yang Jing was quite moved.
Professor Wilson is not my mentor, but just because of what the fat man said, he used his connections to get this done for me. I must find an opportunity to thank this old man later.
"Fatty, what does Professor Wilson like? You are so familiar with the professor, you must know."
The fat man picked up the knife and fork and ate a piece of steak. "The professor is old now. Besides antiques, the only thing he likes is black tea. Old Yang, buy some black tea for the professor if you have a chance. He really likes this kind of thing."
Yang Jing kept it in mind.
The two of them then ate and talked, and the French meal lasted more than two hours before they returned to their rental house feeling unsatisfied.
Although this cottage is not big, I have lived here for two years. After staying here for three days, I still feel it is familiar when I come back.
In the next few days, Yang Jing plunged into the library to prepare for the upcoming first defense.
In fact, there is nothing to prepare for. The initial defense is very simple. Several senior professors get together to ask you a few questions, and then point out some minor problems in your paper. They ask you to go back and revise it, and finally have the final formal defense.
Although the master's thesis defense is a little more complicated than the undergraduate thesis defense, they are actually similar. Yang Jing, who has already had a thesis defense experience in China, was not too nervous.
However, since Professor Wilson has helped me out of personal feelings, I would be a bit sorry for the old professor if I didn't take it seriously. Even if it's just a superficial gesture, it's better than making Professor Wilson unhappy.
In fact, the defense is just a test method, the real core is your graduation thesis. Yang Jing is still very confident about this. After all, he is a top student with an IQ of 142. A small graduation thesis can't be a problem for him!
The initial defense on Friday went smoothly, and the graduation thesis written by Yang Jing received unanimous praise from several senior professors. Yang Jing really put a lot of effort into the thesis, so the senior professors basically did not find any problems with it during the initial defense.
Professor Fishberg was obviously very satisfied with his Chinese disciple. He readily told Yang Jing to go back and revise the minor flaws in the thesis as soon as possible, and then prepare for the formal thesis defense next Friday.
Yang Jing was more than happy to accept Fishberg's sudden request.
He had really spent enough time in the UK, and being able to go home one day earlier was a great thing for Yang Jing, so he readily agreed to Fishberg's request and promised to pass the final defense in one go.
The following week was also spent in busyness. When Friday passed, Yang Jing, with a smile on his face, slowly walked out of the defense venue.
The final graduation thesis defense went as smoothly as the initial defense. Yang Jing also answered some questions raised by some senior professors that were extended from the thesis very calmly and brilliantly.
Finally, the senior professors who participated in the graduation thesis defense unanimously agreed that Yang Jing's graduation thesis was qualified and passed.
This means that Yang Jing successfully graduated from the Royal Holloway College in the UK.
However, if you want to get your diploma, you have to wait until after the graduation ceremony. The graduation ceremony is scheduled for early November, which is about twenty days away.
Yang Jing didn't want to wait any longer. If he didn't defend his thesis in advance, he might have patiently wandered around Europe for a while. But suddenly he had the defense in advance, and he passed it smoothly, so Yang Jing couldn't hold back the idea of going home.
Moreover, once this thought could no longer be suppressed, it was like a raging fire that shot up into the sky, making Yang Jing wish he could fly back the next day.
A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own thatched nest!
Yang Jing, who has lived in the UK for two years, thousands of miles away from home, has a deep understanding of this sentence. Especially since he came to the UK, Yang Jing has never been back home. Now that he has finally graduated, there is nothing that can stop him from going home immediately.
Anyway, the diploma can be collected on someone else's behalf. You can just entrust this matter to Fatty. Collecting diplomas on someone else's behalf is also possible in the UK.
Seeing Yang Jing packing up his things, the fat man sighed helplessly and said something very literary: "Alas... All good things must come to an end. Even if they have been together for a thousand years, there will inevitably be a day of separation."
