Chapter 81 The young man's thinking is not very healthy.
The children had only been interning for a few days when Yang Xuan and two female graduate students in the lab heard some gossip.
In the afternoon, three girls quietly came to find Lu Ming and asked, "Is Cheng Yuhang really your son-in-law?"
"Who said that?"
Lu Ming did not intend to deny this, but he wanted to find out who was leaking his privacy behind the scenes.
"Hu Jinyu said that if Cheng Yuhang hadn't gotten there first, he would have become your son-in-law, and he said you were quite supportive!"
Yang Xuan actually believed this gossip, mainly because Hu Jinyu is indeed very good-looking and comes from a very wealthy family; his mother is the owner of a media company.
She's already taken a liking to him!
"Daming, your daughter has good taste! Cheng Yuhang is obviously much more handsome than Hu Jinyu!" Huang Danni was actually a little unhappy.
No wonder she hasn't found a boyfriend yet; apparently, all the handsome guys in China are snapped up by high school.
"My daughter and these boys are childhood friends, especially Cheng Yuhang, who is the son of a senior from the Normal University. The two of them grew up together."
Lu Ming gave a brief explanation to prevent Hu Jinyu and Chen Yiyan from leaking information and letting the girls in the lab know that Cheng Yuhang was the son of the chairman of Jiangtai Group.
After a year and a half of restructuring and adjustment, although Jiangtai Group has not yet recovered its original strength, its three listed companies, Jiangtai Shipping, Jiangtai Medical and Huaxin Motor, have all turned a profit.
The Jiangtai Group's parent company has completed the work of ensuring the delivery of properties. The remaining task is to stabilize the province's chemical and cultural tourism industries in accordance with the province's requirements.
After exchanging a few words with the female graduate students in the lab, Lu Ming called Hu Jinyu over. Instead of speaking immediately, he first sent a voice message to Hu Jinyu's mother: "President Lin, have you had time to go to a hot spring recently?"
"Yes, I have plenty of time! I'll arrange it right now!" Lin Manna was so excited that she replied very quickly.
In front of her son, Lu Ming played this voice message twice.
"Hu Jinyu, watch your mouth next time you speak. I'm very vengeful!"
Lu Ming greeted Hu Jinyu again, telling him not to leak his information.
"Teacher Lu, I've thought it all through. My mother and I will each have our own version of the agreement." Hu Jinyu remained unmoved.
Completely unthreatened.
Wow!
Lu Ming was starting to suspect the young man's thinking was a bit unhealthy, and retorted, "You're really quite open-minded!"
Hey!
Hu Jinyu sighed, found a chair near the lab table and sat down, saying, "Professor Lu, you still don't quite understand my mother. She got divorced because my father caught her having an affair with a male model at work."
"Then why do you want to stay with your mother?"
Lu Ming couldn't help but be curious. As far as he knew, after Hu Jinyu's parents divorced, they each started a media company called GG.
It's considered a pretty powerful company in the provincial capital, and they often compete fiercely for clients.
"There are too many male and female models in this industry, and my dad isn't exactly a good person either!" Hu Jinyu said helplessly.
He was already in junior high school at that time.
In order to win him over, his parents secretly explained many principles to him and made many promises.
Ultimately, he chose his mother because he didn't want a stepmother, and his mother, Lin Manna, promised not to remarry.
As it turns out, Mom kept her word and didn't remarry; she just enjoyed cycling and camping with male models.
Hu Jinyu had long since stopped caring about such matters.
Too many dads!
Every family has its own troubles, and these kids born in the 2000s have it tough too!
Lu Ming sighed and continued to send a voice message to his mother in front of Hu Jinyu: "I plan to spend the New Year at Longtanxia Resort. I will invite Professor Lin, President Mei and President Han to come over."
If you have no objections, I'd like Hu Jinyu to apply for a direct PhD program with Professor Lin next year!
"Oh, I see!" Lin Manna was slightly disappointed, probably not expecting Teacher Lu to be so serious, but she quickly agreed, "Okay, then I'll trouble you to take good care of my Jin Yu from now on!"
"Then you should also contact Professor Yao!"
Lu Ming has recently figured it out and plans to merge the two small circles so they can hang out together from now on.
According to his conversation with his female doctoral supervisor, Lin Xiaowei, Lin Xiaowei was actually willing to keep Chen Yiyan and Hu Jinyu in the laboratory for direct doctoral studies.
I'm just embarrassed to say it out loud, it feels a bit unethical, but the benefits are indeed numerous.
Both Yao Xuefang and Lin Manna have social resources.
I can be of help.
To become a professor in China, unless you are as outstanding as an academician or do pure basic theoretical research, you need to have a very good network of connections.
To put it nicely, it's called having strong industrialization capabilities.
Even at top-tier 985 universities, the resources available to university leaders are very limited. If they apply for the "Ten Thousand Talents Program" but not you, there must be a reason.
Some special projects that can win the national first prize cannot be completed by a doctoral supervisor on their own without the full support of the school.
In some cases, the school secures the project, and whether it's given to you or to someone else, there are reasons for that.
The most practical reason is how many billions of yuan in research funding you can bring to the school, how many large projects you can secure, and how many graduate students, doctoral students, teaching assistants, and associate professors you can support.
If you can support an entire department on your own, of course the school will give you more honors, quotas, and benefits!
Within the school, everyone agrees!
Also.
Scientific research cannot be done alone; it requires teamwork. Students should help their mentors, and mentors should help their students in return.
After spending the last six months together, Lu Ming has seen things very clearly.
Lin Xiaowei, this female doctoral supervisor, isn't ignorant of these principles; she's just too young and too proud to admit it.
fine!
Lu Ming can help.
It's all for the great cause of science!
Winter break is always very short.
A few days later, according to Lu Ming's plan, the families drove to Longtanxia Hot Spring Resort to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
He brought his daughter Rui Rui, Yao Xuefang brought her daughter Chen Yiyan, and Han Huilan brought her daughter Zheng Jiayi.
Mei Yanping, Xue Meiting, Pan Li, Lin Manna, and Miao Yuyan brought their respective sons.
Only Lin Xiaowei, the female doctoral supervisor, came alone.
When they went to soak in the hot springs in the evening, everyone split into two groups. Lu Ming led five boys to soak in the hot springs next door.
Two female chairpersons, two female professors, along with several other mothers and three girls, were in another hot spring villa.
The boys were having a great time, playing around and fighting amongst themselves, but Lu Ming didn't pay any attention to them.
Miao Yuyan's son, Song Jiaming, was raised with strict discipline and consistently achieved excellent grades. This year, he was also assigned to the top class at Huarui Middle School, but he only ranked at the bottom of the class.
He and Yang Yunhao are in similar situations.
One is in the first year of high school, and the other is in the second year. It would be good enough if they could get into Jiangsu University of Science and Technology. They don't even dare to dream of the Strong Foundation Program or the Elite Talent Program, even though they are both pursuing the Elite Talent Program.
Gao He is currently in the top five in the science category of the top class, similar to Hu Jinyu, while Cheng Yuhang is slightly worse, only considered to be in the middle to upper range of the class.
In fact, among these children, apart from Gao He and Hu Jinyu, the rest have stronger self-esteem and, coupled with strict discipline when they were young, all had good grades from a young age.
In terms of intelligence alone, the advantage is not significant.
After the children had been playing for about half an hour, Lu Ming started talking to them about their studies.
Based on current trends, Gao He and Cheng Yuhang will definitely apply for the Artificial Intelligence major.
However, Gao He will be more inclined towards basic research and the fields of information and computing, mathematics, while Cheng Yuhang will be more inclined towards data analysis and application.
Song Jiaming and Yang Yunhao shouldn't pursue this path; they can't compete with other kids. Going down the automation route and developing towards drones and robots is the best choice.
Of course, Lu Ming was just chatting casually with the children; the specific decisions to be made would ultimately depend on their own preferences.
After chatting for more than half an hour, Cheng Yuhang said, "Uncle Lu, actually I prefer making robots and things like that, something real and tangible."
Upon hearing this, Yang Yunhao nodded repeatedly.
During the summer vacation, the children worked together on several small robot projects. Lu Ming handled many things, guiding them in learning programming, automation control, materials, and motor manipulation.
"Sure, there are only a few popular majors right now, so try to choose one you like from this range. That will give you more room for future development."
Lu Ming didn't care much.
Jiangsu University of Science and Technology is the only top-tier 985 university in the province specializing in science and engineering, and the key is that the children can get into this university.
Everything else is easy to handle, as long as you have connections, but when it comes to the college entrance examination, you really can only rely on the children's own hard work and struggle.
Lu Ming did not think that getting into a 985 university would be easy just because he was the top scorer in the national science exam with a score of over 730.
