Chapter 63: This is a freshman?

Both were very humble.

Xu Xu Zhengyang couldn't stand it, curled his lip, "You guys stop it, wait until the military training is over to roll (compete). Besides, we're just freshmen, what depth can we write."

"Exactly." Zhai Zhai Ziqiang nodded, sighing: "I used to be able to do those competition problems and felt I was very powerful, but after reading the materials sent by seniors, I realized I only learned a little bit."

Xu Xu Zhengyang leaned lazily on the chair, with

"It's normal. Mathematical competitions are like orienteering, but higher mathematics is a marathon. In orienteering, you just need to run toward a target; there are countless paths, and no matter how you run, you won't go outside the designated range."

"A marathon, however, is a long route. The scenery along the way is all new. If you don't reach the finish line, you haven't finished the race. Whether you've run 20% or 80%, it's useless."

Xu Xu Qingzhou and the other two were all stunned, and they all looked at Xu Xu Zhengyang.

Gu Gu Zhizhong nodded and turned to browse Xu Xu Qingzhou's paper: "Leave the paper with me for now. I took a brief look; there aren't any major problems with the translation, just some terminology that needs adjusting. Come back in a few days... Never mind."

Read!

"If you don't eat it, I'm putting it away."

In his view, translating a paper in three or four days while also undergoing military training—Xu Xu Qingzhou must have stayed up late quite a bit.

Xu Xu Zhengyang sighed.

On Monday, there was a heavy rain at four in the afternoon. The instructor notified everyone in the group to rest. Xu Xu Qingzhou didn't go to eat with Xu Xu Zhengyang and the others, but went straight to the School of Mathematics, intending to see if Professor Gu Gu Zhizhong was there.

"Why do I feel like it would be strange if he *wasn't* crushed by a freshman like this?"

"Hehe, you heard wrong, it's nothing."

Staring at Xu Xu Zhengyang, Xu Xu Qingzhou had a strange expression and said, "Old Xu, when did you become so cultured?"

"What are you muttering about?"

Non-utilitarian, not eager for quick success, able to sit on the 'cold bench' of research.

Over the weekend, Xu Xu Qingzhou finished translating the paper and checked it thoroughly, planning to give it to Professor Gu Gu Zhizhong to look at when he was free.

"Professor, this is my paper." Xu Xu Qingzhou handed the flash drive to Gu Gu Zhizhong.

Gu Gu Zhizhong was slightly surprised and took the flash drive: "Finished it so quickly?"

Gu Gu Zhizhong nodded, took a sip of tea, looked at his student, and said, "So, little Meng, you need to have some sense of crisis. Work hard. If you get crushed by your own junior, that would be truly embarrassing."

Plagiarism check complete.

As he spoke, he handed Xu Xu Qingzhou a slip of paper: "Leave your phone number; I'll call you when it's revised."

"A freshman? Classes haven't even started yet, and he's already started submitting to SCI journals!"

Gu Gu Zhizhong was stunned for a moment, staring at the plagiarism report on the screen with a complex expression, and asked Xu Xu Qingzhou: "Have you decided which journal to submit to?"

The most desperate thing is that no matter how hard you try to compete, it seems you can never catch up to others.

When Xu Xu Qingzhou arrived, the door was open. He glanced inside and saw two young people hunched over the office desk writing things, and Professor Gu Gu Zhizhong was also busy with his own work at the desk.

Xu Xu Qingzhou left the office, intending to go to the cafeteria to grab a bite first.

Xu Xu Qingzhou opened the fruit and shared it with Xu Xu Zhengyang and the others, "Eat some fruit."

Seeing that no one asked how many houses his family owned, Xu Xu Zhengyang could only regret missing a good opportunity to show off.

"Old Xu, this was sent by School Beauty Song. Are you really willing to let us eat it?" Xu Xu Zhengyang's expression was exaggerated.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Professor."

!.

Outside the library, students with colorful umbrellas walked quickly.

"Yes, an undergraduate. The most crucial thing is that he's only a freshman." Gu Gu Zhizhong also felt some emotion. School of Mathematics, Professor's office.

Actually, Gu Gu Zhizhong had already prepared to comfort Xu Xu Qingzhou, expecting the plagiarism rate to be a bit high. He thought highly of Xu Xu Qingzhou; although they hadn't had much contact, he could still feel the steadiness in Xu Xu Qingzhou that was different from other young people, which was exactly the attitude needed for academic research.

Xu Xu Qingzhou took a deep breath, as if seeing his former self. Many teachers said that university would be easy. In fact, in universities, especially in an institution like Jingda, the competition is even fiercer than in high school.

Gu Gu Zhizhong shook his head with a smile, took the phone number, and said, "You must have been exhausted during this time. Go back and get some good rest. Young people need to pay more attention to taking care of their health."

The boy was full of shock, feeling he had been dealt a blow. Are freshmen this awesome now!

"Okay, thank you, Professor Gu." Xu Xu Qingzhou nodded and left his phone number.

Xu Xu Qingzhou sighed deeply, "You guys don't understand, I just treat her as a little sister."

Next door, hearing Xu Xu Qingzhou's words, the boy looked up, revealing an expression of admiration. A top journal.

Noticing Xu Xu Qingzhou standing at the door, Gu Gu Zhizhong signaled for him to come in.

Xu Xu Qingzhou was too young, and the graduate students all knew each other; this person wasn't one of them.

His first task was to copy the content into a plagiarism-checking website. Although he had roughly looked at this paper last time, he didn't have the original manuscript.

English version, plagiarism rate 0.82%.

"You were stunned, weren't you." The aura of a master on Xu Xu Zhengyang vanished instantly, and he chuckled, "I searched for a long time online to find that sentence. You guys were stunned, and those little girls must have had looks of worship!"

Xu Xu Qingzhou nodded, "Yes, I happened to have time the past two days, so I worked overtime to finish it."

The rain was still falling, a light drizzle falling from the sky, landing softly on the asphalt road of the campus. As the wind blew, the faint scent of flowers and the fresh smell of mud permeated the rain.

"Pah, scumbag!"

"《Mathematical Invention》, I suppose." Xu Xu Qingzhou said. Many papers published in this journal are related to physics.

A student who was buried in study looked up, curiously watching Xu Xu Qingzhou walk in.

The watermelon and mango were both boxed; since the weather was hot, they wouldn't last long.

"Get lost."

Kong Kong Xianbo and Zhai Zhai Ziqiang also moved their stools over, eating fruit while watching Xu Xu Qingzhou, waiting to see what he would say.

Qualified, as qualified as it could possibly be.

"Anyway, I won't stay in the Department of Basic Mathematics in the future. When the time comes, I'll just pick either Financial Mathematics or Statistics. After graduation, I'll go back to inherit the family business and live off the rent."

Gu Gu Zhizhong plugged in the flash drive and clicked on the files inside, which included both Chinese and English versions.

"Eat, eat, eat." Xu Xu Zhengyang smiled and leaned over, poking a piece of watermelon, "Old Xu, with such a beautiful girl who knows how to take care of people, are you really not tempted?"

At this, Xu Xu Qingzhou and the others felt like hitting someone, so they decisively didn't take the bait.

Xu Xu Qingzhou rolled his eyes and stopped paying attention to this guy.

After Xu Xu Qingzhou left, the boy looked up and asked curiously, "Professor, is this an undergraduate you're mentoring?"

Chinese version, plagiarism rate 1.01%.

About ten minutes later, he approached the Shaoyuan Chinese Restaurant near the Jingda Second Gymnasium tennis courts.

It was mealtime, and there were many people.

Xu Xu Qingzhou carried a portion of braised chicken rice and searched for a long time. He saw a couple who had already finished eating but were still being lovey-dovey in their seats, so he sat down next to them with his tray.

The two were embarrassed to continue being sweet, glared at Xu Xu Qingzhou, and left.
