Chapter 21: Another Toad (Three Watches Seeking Votes)

  "Is it Dr. Liu Zhiyun?" Li Peicheng asked persistently.

  He looked at Li Peicheng with curiosity, nodded and said: "It's her, huh? How did you know her name?"

  Li Peicheng smiled awkwardly and several male students from the Environmental College didn't know about the demon girl Liu Jiyun.

  Professor He seemed to have suddenly remembered something, smiled and said: "Dr. Liu's personality is a bit different, but her academic level is absolutely first-rate. In fact, this project from the establishment to the topic design, application, a large part of it was completed by her alone, Professor Xiao and I mainly put forward our own views and guidance on the overall direction, so you should learn from her and ask for advice."

  Li Peicheng knew that Professor He never spoke nonsense, and since he thought Liu Ziyun's academic level was first-rate, then it must be absolutely first-rate. It would be enough to ask for her advice, as long as she didn't face him with a cold expression every day.

  Li Peicheng naturally wouldn't say this in front of Professor He, so he just responded with a sound and indicated that he would assist Dr. Liu properly.

  Professor He finalized the matter, took a stack of materials and handed them to Li Peicheng, saying: "Here is the main plan for this topic, as well as some relevant materials. You can take a look at it when you have time, if there's anything unclear, feel free to come find me anytime."

  "Okay." Li Peicheng took over the materials and then asked: "I don't know when this topic will start?"

  Professor He said, "The sooner the better, we hope this topic can be concluded next year. But considering that you are taking over the provincial-level topic for the first time, and you didn't participate in it beforehand, you need to spend some time digesting the materials in your hand. I think let's start next Monday."

  "Alright, I'll study the relevant materials and project design plan as soon as possible. By Friday, I'll provide you with my own insights and thoughts." said Li Peicheng.

  Professor He nodded in approval, this was exactly the kind of work style he appreciated most about Li Peicheng.

  When Li Peicheng was still an undergraduate, although he had no right to speak in the experiments he participated in and did not have the qualifications to participate in the core, he only needed to do a good job as an assistant. However, he was far from satisfied with this aimless research assistance. No matter what kind of research experiment it was, as long as Li Peicheng participated, he would always conduct a comprehensive understanding of the project, read through materials, and when one topic ended, he generally had already filled up a notebook with his own insights, his views on the project, and even proposed his own frontier prospects.

  One day by chance, Professor He saw Li Peicheng's notes. The dense experimental records, even some ideas that their research group had not thought of, shocked Professor He greatly.

  It was also this matter, plus the praise of Li Peicheng's teachers and graduate students, that made Professor He look at Li Peicheng in a new light.

  "Hmm." Professor He nodded.

  Li Peicheng left Professor He's office and began his tense scientific research preparation work.

  This is a research topic about plant remediation of soil heavy metal pollution, which is to screen and study plants that have absorption and enrichment functions for heavy metals in soil, and then plant this kind of plant in the polluted area to solve the problem of soil heavy metal pollution.

  In the era of rapid economic development, pollution is becoming an increasingly severe problem that people need to face. Soil heavy metal pollution is a very serious issue, and research on solving this problem is currently very popular, while phytoremediation is a frontier topic in this field.

  Professor He is an authority in botany, while Professor Xiao is an authority in environmental science. So the two professors' collaboration on this topic can also be seen as a kind of interdisciplinary exploration.

  Li Peicheng came out of Professor He's office and stayed in the library until dinner time, then left the library and had a quick dinner. After dinner, he went to the Tiesha River Riverside Park as usual to practice "Changsheng Jue" for an hour and a half, and then rushed to the teaching building.

  It was still the same tiered classroom, and there were three people studying on their own in the classroom today, but Li Peicheng did not see Liu Zhien.

  Li Peicheng carefully read the materials given to him by Professor He, although Li Peicheng had just graduated from undergraduate school this year. But indeed as Professor He said, with his research experience and knowledge, he was indeed capable of undertaking this topic. The materials didn't seem difficult for Li Peicheng at all, and after half an afternoon of study, he had already formed some ideas in his mind.

  Of course, research is one thing, understanding it is another, but whether it can be implemented in reality is yet another matter.

  Anything can happen in scientific research experiments.

  Li Peicheng smelled a familiar fragrance, he knew that the witch Liu Jiyun had arrived without turning his head. However, Li Peicheng still turned around, now Liu Jiyun was his future research partner, to put it bluntly, she was in charge and he was a participant, during the research process, her power was the greatest, from a certain perspective, he had to obey her.

  Li Peicheng should take this opportunity to get along well with Liu Jiyun, otherwise, when the time comes, facing a cold face every day will be unbearable. Moreover, for such an interdisciplinary research project, good communication is needed between researchers of different specialties to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, so that the topic can be completed satisfactorily. If Liu Jiyun's attitude towards research cooperation and towards him is as cold as her face, leading to everyone doing their own thing, this research project can end immediately.

  Why does Professor He trust Li Peicheng so much? Of course, Li Peicheng doesn't want to mess up the research project. No, he should complete it perfectly. And to complete it perfectly, it's obvious that relying on Li Peicheng alone is not enough, the key lies with that Ice Snow Demoness.

  Li Peicheng's face showed a more intimate and friendly smile than ever before.

  Must give the witch a good impression, must let her feel that she has spring-like warmth for her.

  The witch Liu Zhiyun obviously also saw Li Peicheng. To be honest, she didn't dislike this hardworking boy, but the boy's overly enthusiastic smile today made her feel that he had ulterior motives and was trying to curry favor with her.

  In fact, Li Peicheng's smile had an ulterior motive, but it wasn't the dirty thoughts that Liu Ziyun imagined about her beauty, rather he wanted to establish a good relationship with Liu Ziyun in advance.

  This smile, Liu Ziyu had seen a lot of it. This kind of toad, she had also seen a lot of it.

  To deal with such a man, Liu Ziyun had several methods.
