Chapter 1 Chapter 20 Scientific Research Cooperation

  "I'll help you too, bro!" Xu Wanzhen also jumped up immediately, not caring whether Li Peicheng agreed or not, and directly called out to him in a familiar tone.

  "And me, brother!" Tranquilly Tan Jing also excitedly walked towards the dinner table.

  Sun Xiaoxuan was almost furious, she admired Li Peicheng's skills, but that didn't mean she wanted Li Peicheng to be her teacher. In her heart, she still wanted to drive Li Peicheng out of the house and pursue her freedom.

  But she never expected that in just half a day, the accomplices she had invited, her former bosom friends, would completely stand on Li Peicheng's side, just like her parents.

  This made Sun Xiaoyu feel like a discarded child, from her parents to her best friends, all taken away from her side, and the one who took everything away was this man full of magic and sunshine.

  Sun Xiaoxuan sulked and sat alone on the sofa, she was so angry that she wanted to pick up the pillow on the sofa and throw it hard at Li Peicheng and her best friend.

  Li Peicheng saw Sun Xiaoyuan sitting alone there and suddenly felt that she was pitiful.

  He didn't understand a girl's heart very well, but he knew the taste of loneliness because he had been lonely since childhood.

  He knew Sun Xiaoyu was still dissatisfied with her parents' arrangement.

  "No need, I'll do it myself, you guys go ahead and play!" Li Peicheng smiled and stopped them.

  At this time, they also discovered that Sun Xiaoyu had not caught up, and finally remembered the real purpose of their coming. The deep friendship of the past was obviously more important than the big brother who had just met for a short time. They all sat back on the sofa in silence.

  Li Peicheng didn't leave Director Sun's home until 12:01, and by the time he arrived at school, it was already past 12:30.

  The noon session is from eleven o'clock to one o'clock. Previously, Li Pei-cheng used to practice from twelve o'clock to one o'clock, but today it's clearly no longer possible.

  At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Peicheng was reading books in the library when Professor He called him to go to his office.

  "Please sit down, Peichen!" Professor He warmly invited Li Peichen to take a seat.

  Professor He liked Li Peicheng very much. When Li Peicheng came to the department during his freshman summer vacation and asked for some research assistance work within his ability, he fell in love with this hardworking freshman boy.

  Although Professor He himself had rarely done experiments with his own hands for many years, he only made directions in the general direction and participated in some key issues. But he knew a lot about Li Peicheng's affairs, because many teachers and graduate students reflected that Li Peicheng was a good student, rigorous in experimentation, and quick-witted.

  These reflections made Professor He particularly concerned about Li Peicheng, and even from the project funding personnel salary, he also included Li Peicheng in it. Although the number is negligible, it can be seen that he likes and values this student very much. He also stubbornly listed Li Peicheng's name on the list of project teams that Li Peicheng had participated in, and in the project completion report, although ranked last, but also explained that Professor He has already completely regarded Li Peicheng as a researcher with research strength.

  It is a great honor for me as an undergraduate.

  When Li Peicheng was a senior, Professor He extended an olive branch to him, hoping he could stay at the School of Resource Science, Dongfang University and become his student. This is a rare thing for Professor He, because Li Peicheng was too excellent, so excellent that Professor He feared losing this student.

  It was because of Professor He's concern and attention to Li Peicheng that made Li Peicheng respect this seemingly scholarly leader of the Resource Science Department.

  "What does Mr. He want with me?" Li Peicheng asked.

  "This summer vacation, apart from the tutoring job at Old Sun's place, you haven't taken on any other work, have you?" Professor He asked.

  "No, I'm waiting for you, teacher, to arrange a research experiment for me!" Li Peicheng said.

  "That's great." Professor He was delighted and continued: "I have a project with Professor Xiao from the Environmental Science Department, originally arranged for Ye Yufeng to go there to help, but he accidentally injured his hand on glass, it's quite serious, so I don't think he can do experiments this summer. So I thought of arranging you to go to the Environmental Science Department to help out, what do you say?"

  Li Peicheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He seemed to have heard someone mention that Professor He and Professor Xiao from the Environmental Science Department were collaborating on a project, which was a provincial-level funded project, not very big but not small either, with around one or two million yuan in funding. Li Peicheng had also participated in such provincial-level projects before, but only as a manual laborer. Of course, here "manual laborer" referred to tasks such as preparing experiments, cleaning and other auxiliary work, rather than directly participating in the core part of the scientific research experiment.

  But this time it's obviously different, according to Professor He's meaning, he will represent Professor He to cooperate with the Environmental Science Department on the topic, that is to say, he will not only be an assistant, but also participate in the entire research process, and even put forward his own opinions and solutions for the whole topic.

  Li Peicheng has never lacked confidence, but Professor He's heavy reliance on him made him feel a great burden in his heart, so for the time being he dared not easily agree.

  Professor He could see that Li Peicheng had a psychological burden, and smiled: "You don't need to have a psychological burden. With the knowledge you currently possess and your research experience, you should be fully capable of handling this project. Moreover, the person in charge of this project is Professor Xiao, I'm just a main participant, let's say the second person in charge. So the dominant work will be done by them, and you'll mainly assist them, using our professional strengths to provide them with more perfect solutions and professional assistance."

  Li Peicheng saw Professor He say so and knew that he couldn't refuse this matter, so he asked: "Who is mainly in charge of this project on Professor Xiao's side?"

  "He said, 'The person on his side is Dr. Liu.'"

  Dr. Liu! Li Peicheng was stunned for a moment, and a cold beauty appeared in his mind.

  Witch Liu Ziyu! Li Peicheng secretly smiled wryly. Although she was a beauty, Li Peicheng didn't have the slightest excitement about collaborating with her; if possible, he would rather choose to work with dinosaurs.
