Chapter 1429: Prof Kong Leading You Personally!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

January 25th, Friday…

Pei Qian arrived at the instructor, Zhang Wei’s office.

It had been a long time since he last visited.

Generally speaking, the third and fourth year counselors would be busier. After all, they had to worry about the entire year. Some had to be guaranteed post-graduate studies, some had to work, and some had to go overseas. All sorts of matters required the counselors to appear.

Naturally, students came to look for counselors more frequently.

However, Pei Qian was different. He had no such requests.

Zhang Wei looked for Pei Qian less and less.

Why? Perhaps it was because he was too embarrassed…

Previously, when Tengda was still relatively small, Zhang Wei had asked Pei Qian to help solve the employment problems of some seniors. Subsequently, he had donated money to the needy students and found postgraduate students to help Tengda with recruitment examinations and markers. These were all done by Zhang Wei.

However, Tengda’s scale had already reached a ridiculous level. It was already the most important company in Jingzhou City. It had even subtly changed the employment and living environment in Jingzhou City.

A big boss of such a big company, even as an instructor, would be too embarrassed to address him.

Zhang Wei knew very well that anyone who still treated Pei Qian as an ordinary student would definitely be crazy.

Zhang Wei was even a little conflicted. Should he inform the school leaders to receive him the next time he came to school?

If Pei Qian had already graduated, given Tengda’s current status in Jingzhou, it would be reasonable for the school leaders to receive him. However, Pei Qian was still a student.

That was a very troublesome problem.

Pei Qian came to the door of his office and found that there were already customers inside. He could vaguely hear the conversation inside.

There were students and staff on duty outside. These were usually the work of the students in the college. They were here to help the instructor run errands and do miscellaneous work.

It was obvious that he did not know Pei Qian. He thought that he was just a year four student asking about graduation or post-graduate studies. After all, such things often happened.

Thus, he asked Pei Qian to sit on the sofa outside and wait.

Pei Qian was in no hurry. He sat down on the sofa and took a magazine from the school.

After a while, Zhang Wei’s office door opened, and three people walked out, chatting and laughing.

“Senior Brothers, the venue for the lecture has been arranged. The time is set for three in the afternoon. I’ve already sent a notice to the students in the college. You can go directly.”

“You don’t have to prepare too much in advance. Just briefly explain your experience working in Shenhua.”

Zhang Wei said to two people who looked to be in their early thirties with a smile on his face.

They nodded. “Don’t worry, Teacher Zhang. We will tell you everything we know without holding anything back. We will definitely guide you well and answer your juniors’ questions!”

Pei Qian immediately understood what they were here for.

This was an outstanding graduate from previous batches who had returned to give lectures on employment guidance.

From Zhang Wei’s words, he could tell that these two were outstanding graduates of the college who had graduated earlier than Zhang Wei. It looked like they had already reached the middle level in Shenhua Corporation. They had probably been invited by the college to share their experience and increase their employment rate.

As a first-tier factory in the country, Shenhua was the goal of many students after graduation. It was normal for them to give lectures and share their experience in joining.

These two people looked at least four or five years older than Zhang Wei. It was no wonder that Zhang Wei called them senior brothers.

At that time, students liked to refer to themselves as’ seniors’. However, at Pei Qian’s current stage, students liked to refer to themselves as’ seniors’. Pei Qian did not know what the rules were.

The moment the three of them walked out, Zhang Wei saw Pei Qian sitting nonchalantly on the sofa.

Zhang Wei’s expression changed instantly. “Eh? Why didn’t you let the students in to tell me that you were here? Why are you still waiting outside?”

Pei Qian smiled. “No problem, I’m not in a hurry.”

“That’s not right of you. Why are you being so polite to me? Senior Brothers, go and rest first. I won’t send you off.”

Once Zhang Wei finished speaking, he led Pei Qian into his office and closed the door.

The three people outside looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

The two seniors softly asked the students on duty outside softly, “Who is this person?”

The student on duty looked confused. “I don’t know. He said he’s a year four student.”

The two seniors obviously did not believe it at all.

As a year four student, how could Zhang Wei invite him in as if he was inviting a god? Something was amiss.

The two of them looked at each other and whispered. “I haven’t heard of any children from the school leaders attending our school, right?”

“No matter what kind of leader you are, you don’t have to personally go to the instructor’s office.”

“What’s more, Zhang Wei seems to be taking this more seriously than that.”

The two of them could not figure it out no matter how hard they thought.

In the office, Zhang Wei stood up and poured some tea.

Pei Qian quickly waved his hand. “There’s no need for that. Teacher Zhang, I’m just going to say something. I’ll leave soon.”

Zhang Wei was very warm. “It’s alright, it’s alright to have some tea.”

Pei Qian: “…I’m not used to ordinary tea.”

Zhang Wei: “…”

Pei Qian also felt that his words might have pricked his heart. He quickly said, “I’ll bring some tea from my office later for Teacher Zhang to try.”

Zhang Wei helplessly gave up on pouring the tea. “Alright.”

Pei Qian did not think too much about exchanging pleasantries. He got straight to the point. “Teacher Zhang, I’m here mainly for the graduation thesis. Could you recommend a mentor to me? Also, how should I choose the materials?”

Zhang Wei was also an outstanding graduate of the school. He was also a top student back then. Otherwise, he would not have been able to remain in school as an instructor.

It would be right to ask him about this.

Zhang Wei nodded. “Oh, I wanted to tell you about that as well.”

“The college has already contacted Prof Kong and asked him to bring you to write your graduation thesis. You don’t have to worry. Prof Kong is relatively approachable because he has a good impression of you with the Useful App. You can write your thesis normally. The professors in the college will not be able to stop you as long as you review it.”

Pei Qian was stunned. “Professor Kong Zhemin?”

Zhang Wei nodded. “That’s right. Does our department have a second Prof Kong?”

Pei Qian was shocked. “Teacher Zhang, that’s not necessary!”

Wasn’t this a joke?

What kind of person was Prof Kong to be his supervisor for a graduate thesis?

Am I worthy?

No, I’m not worthy!

Professor Kong Zhemin was a first-level professor of humanities and social sciences at Handong University, a doctoral supervisor, and concurrently the Director of the Institute of Chinese Education of Handong University, the Chief Editor of Chinese textbooks for primary and secondary schools, and a member of the Basic Education Expert Committee. He was also the convener of the expert group for revision of Chinese curriculum standards…

This long list of titles basically represented the highest level of knowledge in humanities majors of Handong University.

With Prof Kong’s status, he would be one of the top few universities in the country.

In theory, undergraduates could choose any professional lecturer who had taught them as a mentor for their graduation thesis.

Professor Kong Zhemin had once taught Pei Qian and the others a lesson.

Even though it was just one class, theoretically speaking, he could choose Prof Kong as his graduation thesis mentor.

However, most students did not do that. They knew their limits.

Prof Kong was leading the best group of PhD students. Wouldn’t it be ridiculous for him to bring undergraduates to write essays?

Aren’t you embarrassed to trouble the old man?

Pei Qian did not even think about asking Prof Kong to write his thesis. On one hand, he felt embarrassed. On the other hand, he was afraid of embarrassing himself.

What kind of academic level was Prof Kong at?

Pei Qian knew how much he was worth. He was a warrior with paywalls who relied on giving money to the college to barely pass. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he handed his undergraduate thesis to Prof Kong?

It was just like how everyone would feel awkward if someone who did not know anything were to perform in front of the dancing king.

If he really wanted to do this, he had to choose the beach because he could awkwardly dig out a villa by the sea.

Pei Qian had originally wanted to find a young lecturer who was relatively young. He would write whatever he wanted, and the lecturer would read whatever he wanted. As long as he could pass the graduation thesis, he would be fine. He would also save himself and the college.

Unexpectedly, he was a step late. Zhang Wei and the college had already invited Kong Lao to join them!

That was extremely awkward.

Pei Qian quickly said, “Teacher Zhang, it’s not like you don’t know my standard. It’s just a graduation thesis. Is there a need to alarm Professor Kong? The college is not helping me. They’re roasting me on a fire!”

“In my opinion, you should just arrange for a young lecturer to supervise me. It would be fine as long as I can graduate successfully.”

Zhang Wei was unhappy. “How can that be?”

“I know you’re busy with work and don’t have time to study academic affairs, but your graduation thesis is not your own business. It’s our entire college!”

“Even theses of undergraduates have to be uploaded onto the Knowledge Network. At that time, all students in the country, including your juniors, would be able to find your thesis on the Knowledge Network.”

“You’ve been well-hidden now, but someone will find out about you sooner or later after you graduate. When they find out about your graduation thesis, they’ll see that you’re the President of Tengda Corporation, an outstanding graduate from Handong University, and a famous alumnus. Is your graduation thesis at this level?”

“When we see that the instructor is just an ordinary lecturer, wouldn’t that show that our college is blind and did not nurture talents well?”

“That’s not nice at all!”

“It would be fine if you were just an ordinary student. No one would pay attention to you, but you are not.. If that really happened, not only would it affect Tengda’s image, but it would also affect the college and the entire school. How can you make do with it?”
