Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 143 - 89 Designating a Thesis Advisor_2

"Remember, tell your fellow students: if by the last day of October you still can’t pass the Qiao Yu checkpoint, I’m sorry, I will seriously consider whether you have the ability to graduate on time! If you’re unhappy with this decision, you can also consider changing your mentor."

"Ah?" Qin Jingru was stunned.

An honorable person can be killed, but not humiliated!

A high schooler as a junior mentor? Has the mentor gone mad?

Wait a minute, everyone’s...

Does this mean that apart from the two Doctor brothers, everyone else’s papers have to be reviewed by Qiao Yu first?

Thinking of this, Qin Jingru suddenly found it not so hard to accept.

"What? Do you object? You’ve seen the stuff Qiao Yu writes, and you’re still not convinced? Or maybe I don’t mind being embarrassed, but you do?"

"No, no, I just worry that high schoolers might be very busy, right? What if he doesn’t agree?" Qin Jingru said, looking troubled.

"The fact is, by middle school, he had already mastered most of the knowledge you need through high school, four years of college, and the first two years of graduate school. He’s already capable of guiding your papers, do you think it’s the same as when you were in high school? As for how to get Qiao Yu to agree, that’s up to you.

Of course, you can choose not to follow my requirements, as long as you are confident that the paper can be written to satisfy me, or if you feel your paper is up to the level of submission to Hua Science Academy’s first division, you can skip this step and send the paper directly to me.

But if you can’t meet my requirements... Heh... Alright, you can go back now. Remember to explain my words clearly to your fellow students. Oh, and take your paper with you, and carefully look at the comments and suggestions Qiao Yu made for you."

Xue Song waved his hand impatiently.

Looking at his student’s disgraced appearance, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Students are hard to mentor.

It’s better to mentor undergraduates. At least with most undergraduate thesis, he has no unrealistic expectations at all.

...

As soon as Qin Jingru walked out of the teaching building, he pulled out his phone and opened WeChat.

Xue Song had already sent him Qiao Yu’s contact card on WeChat.

However, Qin Jingru didn’t rush to add him on WeChat but quickly opened a group chat, which was a purely student group chat, consisting of students Xue Song had taught after coming to Yu University.

Quickly editing a message, Qin Jingru suddenly felt something was off.

Thinking about the group containing a lot of already graduated senior brothers and two senior sisters, Qin Jingru decided to copy the content he just edited and create a new group, making it much simpler with just the current students.

Even among those the mentor taught, Qin Jingru only added the senior brother they interacted with the most.

It wouldn’t be wise to let such an embarrassing thing reach the ears of other unrelated senior brothers and sisters.

Otherwise, who knows how many people will hear about it and make it a joke?

After setting up the new group chat, Qin Jingru immediately sent the previously edited message.

"Hey everyone, my paper was shot down by the boss! But that’s not the important part, the boss has a good news and a bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

Soon, the new group chat exploded with responses, a bunch of "???" started to line up.

Even the Doctor joined in the fun.

No choice, the newly created group chat hadn’t reached the point where everyone set it to no notifications yet.

"The good news is, I’ve managed to fight for another month for everyone, and the submission deadline for papers is extended to before November. The bad news is, the mentor found us a junior boss, our papers must first get the junior boss’s approval before submitting to the mentor."

This time, there were finally responses that weren’t punctuation marks.

"Isn’t having a junior mentor not considered bad news? Isn’t this considered a double blessing?"

"Exactly, maybe the junior mentor is friendly and easier to interact with."

"I also think having a junior boss is good, the boss is too stern! Every time I go to the office to find him, I feel a bit nervous."

Even the Doctor saw this message and popped in. freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Is the research group getting new people? Why didn’t the boss mention it?"

"Hey, Old Qin, you only say half of it and then disappear?"

Well, Qin Jingru was riding a shared bike.

Just now, to rush to the mentor’s office first, he came by bike and didn’t even have time to lock it up.

After sending the previous message, he planned to let his fellow students digest and process the news before he explained further once he returned to the dorm.

Sure enough, by the time he got back to the dorm, the group chat was buzzing, and people were @ him.

What relieved him the most was that his roommate wasn’t there. He had taken a leave to go home for the National Day holiday.

Qin Jingru was relatively lucky. Although their campus had two-person dorm rooms, they were in high demand. So when graduate dorm rooms were assigned, a lottery was needed for those who wanted to live in a two-person room.

He was lucky to win the lottery. Of course, it’s more expensive compared to a regular four-person room.

But for Qin Jingru, the extra cost wasn’t a big deal. For instance, in today’s situation, if he was in a four-person room, he would be embarrassed to pull out his phone to talk about this.

But now in the group chat, his fellow students even thought having an additional junior boss was a double blessing. They began discussing it, speculating who the new junior mentor might be, maybe a newly promoted mentor at the school, or a senior brother from the PhD station?

Ha, prepare to face the humiliation he just endured!

Qin Jingru quickly revealed the truth to everyone.

"Well, guys, don’t be so optimistic. Our extra-curricular junior mentor just graduated from middle school this summer, and is currently a high school freshman. By the way, you know him, he’s in Star City."
