Chapter 792: It's just favoritism!
The three-day holiday flew by, and it's time for those who need to go to work to go back to work and those who need to go to school to go back to school.
Because Wang Yanzhi hadn't returned yet and Gu Le's vacation wasn't over, Chu Yan took Gu Le to the company to help out. Despite his young age, he had learned a lot in the past few years. He handled most of the affairs in Hong Kong. Wang Yanzhi would only help him if she couldn't handle something. Moreover, he had the knowledge he had accumulated in his previous life, so the tasks Chu Yan gave him weren't difficult.
After returning to school, Gu Yin prepared all her lessons for the week and then went into her laboratory.
001 Watching Gu Yin repeat the same experimental procedure over and over again was incredibly boring!
"Why aren't we moving on? This step is already done and there are no problems, isn't it?"
Gu Yin didn't stop working. While taking notes, she observed and said, "Going too fast is not good. We should study slowly and do all the possible and impossible things. In the future, after we leave, future generations can study it without having to go through detours."
001 was speechless: "Why don't you just feed them directly? Is that how you do it?"
Gu Yin chuckled: "I'll do it whenever I have time. It's just something I can do easily. I have you and the library now. Once I'm gone, they'll have to rely on themselves for everything, which will be very difficult. Although I believe they can manage without me, there's no need to suffer. Don't force yourself to suffer."
"You're so good to them." Seeing her like this, 001 stopped talking.
Gu Yin shook her head: "It's not that I'm good, it's just that with great power comes great responsibility. It's all for the country. I believe anyone else would have done the same."
They always want to bring good things home; it's a habit of their people.
With the holiday approaching, Gu Yin finished her class and checked that she still had some time. She put down her lesson plan and asked, "There's only one month left until the final exams. Do you want to create your own questions and do the experiments, or should I create questions for you?"
Upon hearing this, the people below immediately began to exchange information.
"It's good to take the exam yourself. Whether it's difficult or easy is up to you. What do you think?" The most important thing is that if you take the exam yourself, you're less likely to fail.
"It's too difficult to create a topic myself; I have a hard time choosing! Let the teacher create one. There's a fixed topic, so I don't have to find one myself. Plus, since the topics are the same, it's easier to compare who gets the best results! It's fairer." That way, it's easier to get a scholarship.
"But since the teacher said that, he must want us to choose our own topics." Otherwise, he could have just given us topics to work on as usual, instead of bringing it up.
Upon hearing this, everyone thought it made sense, and they all looked at Gu Yin.
Seeing this, Gu Yin smiled and said, "That's right, I prefer that you set your own topics, but I have high standards. If you choose to select your own topics, I hope they are topics that have never appeared before, that no one has done before, that have never been realized before, and that are relatively difficult, rather than breaking down the topics in the textbook and merging them into something new. You are all top students, and what I want is breakthroughs and innovation. Go ahead and do big things. If you need anything, just come to me. In fact, if you can realize your experimental results, I can even provide you with funding. Other classes don't have that. The opportunity is right here. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you. During the winter break, others will be doing part-time jobs or going home. Maybe you will already be starting your own businesses by then?"
The people below immediately became excited!
This is like having someone invest in you. You can start your own business with all the equipment, money, and connections you need. All you have to do is have your own ideas and go for it! Failure is okay; if you succeed, you'll not only gain money but also become known to all the big shots! Your future will be bright! Maybe when you graduate, while others are sending out resumes, applying for graduate school, and looking for advisors, you'll already have your own lab!
Anyone who doesn't seize such a golden opportunity is a complete fool!
"Teacher! We want to choose our own topics!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll choose ourselves!"
"Teacher, what if a project is large and takes a long time to complete, and it's still not finished by the end of the semester?"
Gu Yin smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. If that's the case, I will assess whether the experiment can continue based on your abilities. If it can, it's okay if it exceeds the time limit. I will give you the credits, and you can continue your experiment. Just keep doing it."
With no worries about the future, everyone in the class was as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
"Who wants to team up with me? I've come up with a topic! We need three people!"
"I'll do it!"
"Count me in!"
"I need five people here, quick! Those who obey organizational discipline, come!"
Seeing that they had already started forming teams, Gu Yin smiled and nodded, then left the classroom.
As a result, as soon as I came out of the lab that evening, the principal called me to his office.
When Gu Yin arrived at the office, the director was also there.
"Principal, you wanted to see me?"
The principal nodded: "I heard you made an exception for your class?"
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows upon hearing this: "You mean the final exams? If that's it, then yes, the school didn't say we can't pay for students' experiments ourselves, did it?"
The principal smiled and shook his head: "We didn't mean to criticize you. We're happy that you can motivate them. Our school also has this program, but only the top ten students in the grade are eligible. Your encouragement might unleash their potential and help us discover talent for the country!"
Gu Yin asked in confusion, "Then what do you mean?"
The principal, feeling helpless, looked at the director and said, "You tell me."
The director chuckled upon hearing this, "After school last night, many teachers came to me complaining that you made exceptions for their students, and they were all working incredibly hard. Their classmates, out of curiosity, went to ask, and what they found out was astonishing! They were all envious and jealous after learning you'd given them special treatment! Then those students went to their teachers, asking them to make exceptions for them too. Those teachers were at a loss for words; where would they get the money? If they had enough to support so many projects, they would have been busy with them themselves long ago! The students complained to the teachers, and then the teachers came to me to vent. I had no choice but to go to the principal!"
The principal said helplessly, "I have no choice. The finance department doesn't have that much money, so I can only ask you to see if you can add a few more places."
Gu Yin didn't expect this matter to escalate to such a big extent.
“Principal, this is a reward for my students. It's a favor to them. There are so many students in the school, I can't possibly give it to everyone. If I give it to all the students in our school, won't other schools come to me? If all the university presidents in the country come to me, even if I have a lot of money, I can't support them all! How about this, I'll set up a Zhou Gu Scholarship Fund. Students who have ideas and feel capable can apply for funding from our fund. As long as they prepare their application materials, I'll have them evaluated. We'll provide whatever they need, and Zhou's will purchase the experimental results. Is that okay? Forget about the rest. I don't want some people who are just playing around wasting my money. I don't earn money easily, you know.”
This is already the best possible outcome; how could the principal disagree?
"Okay! Absolutely! That's perfect! Let's do it this way! Director, go and draft a notice and send it out right away!" The principal couldn't stop smiling!
The director was also pleased and immediately got to work.
"Don't we need to sign a contract?" Gu Yin asked with a smile.
The principal sighed and said, "I believe you! It doesn't matter whether you sign it or not!"
"Let's sign it. I'll have someone handle it when we get back, to avoid any trouble later." If we're going to do this fund, we should do it long-term to avoid problems after she's gone. Let's be more formal.
The next day, after the students in the class found out about this, they all walked with a swagger!
Teacher Zhou's love for them is unique! No one can take it away! They do things freely, without worrying about waste, while others have to apply first! With the teacher being so supportive, how can they not try their best? They absolutely cannot let them down!
After that, whether it was the library, the lab, or the study room, the students in this class would get up in the middle of the night like madmen to line up and grab seats! This left the students from other classes angry but dared not say anything.
I have no idea what they ate! They could go without sleep for several nights in a row! But they couldn't even stay up for two nights!
