Chapter 227 Opportunity to Return Home
A senior student said seriously: "No, it's not quite the same."
When Zhang Wei thought that she was stealing their chance to perform, another senior student said:
"It's definitely different. It's much easier this time. Thank you, Vera."
"Yeah, before, we had to take turns accompanying the professor to present research materials, but this time, we finally don't have to do all that chores!"
Zhang Wei, who felt quite happy after doing chores for a week: ...
Okay, everyone has their own aspirations, just do what makes you happy.
Zhang Wei still likes the various challenges encountered in her new life. She doesn’t know that other people are not as lucky as her, who can constantly explore new fields and experience life that they have never experienced before.
Just like at this exchange conference, although the speeches of the bigwigs at the conference were rigorous and profound, they never discussed academic matters in private. Instead, they discussed the jacuzzi in the hotel room or whether the breakfast coffee was strong enough.
Of course, another benefit is that she has been following Professor Laura and has received personal business cards from some authoritative experts. Although these may not come in handy, it is still very gratifying.
The other seniors didn't care about this. The only time they had a say was when they heard someone come up with some surprising idea and then discussed whether they could try it themselves.
This made Zhang Wei seem not as academically enthusiastic as them. It could be seen that they were indeed very different from Eric. Zhang Wei felt that they were quite easy to get along with.
Zhang Wei thought of him and asked, "Are you familiar with Eric?"
"You should stay away from him. He has shameful character." A senior student said with contempt.
Zhang Wei became interested and looked at her with a curious look: "What's wrong?"
"I heard that he used to have a good relationship with a classmate, but on the eve of his graduation defense, it was discovered that most of his research was plagiarized from that classmate. So his defense was cancelled that year, and he stopped working on his graduation project from then on."
Zhang Wei mused, "That doesn't sound very reasonable!"
Although she also didn't like Eric, it was too coincidental that it was revealed on the eve of the defense.
"There's nothing unreasonable about it. Some people just do such despicable things."
Zhang Wei did not continue speaking, but she felt that Professor Laura was very rigorous in academic matters. If Eric really plagiarized even his graduation thesis, then she would be doing him justice by not kicking him out of her school, not to mention giving him extra work opportunities to subsidize him.
Professor Laura's attitude towards him was more like a feeling of disappointment.
Moreover, Zhang Wei felt that Eric was not very courageous, and she only dared to go to collect the reagents on her own. If she was not in a hurry to use them, she could go to collect them herself in advance when the time came next week, and then tell the custodian that she would go in person, and that would solve the problem.
Besides, everyone knows the importance of graduation thesis. How could one simply copy other people’s materials? Even a fool wouldn’t do that, right?
Didn't anyone suspect anything? Eric was a gloomy person, so few people would think much of it. Zhang Wei also put the matter aside. They still had a feud, so she didn't have any overly kind intentions.
Everyone at this exchange conference was quite satisfied with the trip. Professor Laura finally felt that bringing the students there was no longer a burden. Then Zhang Wei began to fly around with Professor Laura every few days.
Fortunately, the two assistants in the laboratory stayed at their posts when she was away. Zhang Wei would adjust the progress and direction of the experiment at any time based on the new knowledge obtained, and let the assistants do some of the preparatory work, and then carry out some key steps when she had time.
She also wrote related papers on the branches that extended from her research topic, and some bigwigs were willing to write recommendation letters for her to some well-known journals after learning about the specific content of her papers.
So Zhang Wei was tired but happy during this period. There is nothing happier than working hard and getting rewards at the same time.
What is rare is that Zhang Wei finally has the opportunity to return to China.
She couldn't wait to share the news with Paris. She felt that Paris probably couldn't understand her feelings, but his half-Chinese ancestry made her feel close to him, so she wanted to tell him first.
"I'm going to Hong Kong next month, Paris"
"I haven't been back for about ten years, ever since my grandfather passed away."
"I'm sorry for reminding you of sad things."
"No, I had a lot of fun there. Most of the memories I have are good, although there are also some sad ones."
"I've never been to Hong Kong, so I don't know what it's like."
Zhang Wei had never been to this place known as the "shopping paradise" in her previous life. She was only interested in mountains and rivers and had no yearning for the bustling city.
"I lived in the countryside there before, and I don't know most of the places. Wait, let me check the time!"
"What?"
"Maybe I can go with you. I'm not that busy lately!"
“That’s great!”
Zhang Wei was very surprised. She had originally planned to return to the mainland after the meeting. Ever since she had the dream about the welfare home, she had been feeling a little worried. If she could go there as soon as possible, she would feel more at ease.
Then Zhang Wei enthusiastically began to discuss the itinerary with Paris. In fact, the meeting only lasted three days, but she had some free time now and could still spare about half a month, so she discussed a half-month itinerary with Paris.
Apart from visiting the old house and paying homage to his relatives, Paris didn't have any relatives or friends he had to see. Since his family moved to Country A, they had lost contact with most of their relatives, so he followed Zhang Wei's schedule.
In fact, another big reason why Paris planned to go to China with Zhang Wei this time was Zhou Anqi. Ever since she couldn't get her father's help, she was very dissatisfied and vowed to pursue Paris with her own charm.
So he would wait at the gate of Paris College every day, either sending flowers or food, which made him very annoyed. No matter how he explained, Zhou Anqi had no intention of giving up.
This caused Paris to go to the academy less frequently, but he couldn't always stay at home. Zhou Anqi didn't dare to go to his house to block him. Zhou Chi was a brother who doted on his sister, and he had a pretty good relationship with Paris, so Paris didn't want to make the relationship too awkward.
In fact, the best way is to tell her that she has someone she likes, but given Zhou Anqi's personality, it might cause trouble to others. Paris herself is not very confident, so she can only stay there. This time, going to China with Zhang Wei might be a good opportunity.
