Chapter 79 It turns out it really was true.
Lu Ming has never had the chance to complete the side quest of refusing the female professor, probably because female professors are all quite concerned about saving face!
After a brief contact, he arranged to meet five classmates' mothers that evening, along with his advisor Lin Xiaowei and female doctoral student Yang Xuan, and they all traveled together to Longtanxia Resort.
Because there were many people, two cars were used.
Lu Ming drove his female doctoral supervisor and Yang Xuan, while Xue Meiting, Pan Li, Yao Xuefang, and Lin Manna followed in another car.
The mountain road was winding and dark, so Lu Ming, who was leading the way, drove as slowly as possible and reminded Lin Xiaowei, "Professor Yao from Jiang University has a lot of connections in the province and knows a lot of people. Her daughter, Chen Yiyan, is also a freshman in the Information and Computing Strong Foundation Program."
The implication is that if Lin Xiaowei brings Chen Yiyan into her team and mentors the young girl in her graduate studies, Professor Yao would definitely be willing to help her find some assistants.
Through introductions among students, we can find a teaching assistant who is both highly skilled and of good character, and then we can work together.
Lin Xiaowei thought for a moment, then asked, "How much potential does the little girl have?"
"If you really give it your all in high school, getting a second-place finish in the national exams is possible!"
Lu Ming didn't make any guarantees, but in terms of potential, he was definitely better than the two female graduate students in the group.
"I see!"
Lin Xiaowei roughly understood.
If you're at the national second-level in math and physics olympiads, you should have no problem getting into a top-tier university for graduate studies, but becoming a very good researcher would be a stretch.
Lin Xiaowei was a newcomer to Jiangsu University of Science and Technology and had no students at all. In the end, she only recruited three students, all of whom were rejected by other doctoral supervisors.
The main problem is that their first degree is not good enough!
It turns out that your first degree is really important.
In fact, more than a month ago, when Lu Ming was working on multivariate statistics and Bayesian statistics, he discovered that the two female graduate students in his group were not up to par.
My brain can't keep up.
Especially when it came to the functional analysis stage, the two female graduate students, whose first degrees were from the Normal University and Jiangxi University of Technology, were already at a loss.
Lu Ming had no idea how the two of them got into university; no wonder the professors at Jiang Ke University didn't choose them.
Everyone here is very experienced; among the graduate students admitted from universities in the province, they try not to accept students from other universities or from the mathematics department of Jiangnan University.
Lin Xiaowei finally understands the importance of her first degree, and can only sigh.
She is currently only a specially appointed full professor at the university, which is a common 3+2 contract.
The initial contract is for three years, with a two-year extension if performance is achieved. Only after achieving excellent results within five years can the contract be converted to a long-term contract.
This project from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was assigned to her by Jiangsu University of Science and Technology. It seems that everyone already knew this project had problems.
Limited funding, short timeframe, and high difficulty!
She doesn't have any teaching assistants or top-notch doctoral students yet; she's been working on the project entirely on her own for the entire year.
The key point is that we cannot communicate with outsiders; it must be kept secret.
Although the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology did not explicitly state it, if it is done exceptionally well, it will definitely be used in the military industry in the future.
Specifically targeting various supporting factories, the kind with small but highly specialized production capacity.
If it's not done well, then it can only be considered as a basic paper, providing some reference value for other people's projects.
Lin Xiaowei is currently going through a very difficult period; there are problems with the project, and even more problems with the students.
Any top student with a choice would not choose her as a specially appointed 3+2 doctoral supervisor during this special period.
Because if she doesn't perform well, she could leave Jiangsu University of Science and Technology at any time.
Lu Ming was aware of these circumstances and asked his female doctoral supervisor, "Professor, for this project, are you planning to redo the framework entirely, or continue with minor tweaks and modifications?"
"It definitely needs to be redone!"
Lin Xiaowei was a bit of a headache, but she didn't have a better solution. If she didn't make up her mind now, she would only be able to barely get by in the end.
The project might pass the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's review, but in the field of industrial application, it's basically garbage and has no right to participate in the award competition.
Lu Ming thought this choice was very wise and comforted him, "It's okay, I'll try to find a way to get a project worth tens of millions for our lab in the second half of next year."
With this project, Lin Xiaowei can successfully renew her contract for two years, which is enough time to complete the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's project.
"Tens of millions?"
Lin Xiaowei was a little incredulous. Was it really that easy?
"We can find projects worth hundreds of millions, but our team is too small to handle big projects!" Lu Ming shrugged.
"Lu Ming, are you that strong?" As a female PhD student who had never even left school, Yang Xuan was genuinely shocked.
"I do have tens of millions of fans!" Lu Ming gently reminded the female doctoral supervisor and the female doctoral student.
Don't underestimate him just because he seems very low-key every day.
"That's true!"
Yang Xuan remembered.
Teacher Lu is such a powerful internet celebrity; his ability to secure projects and commercial advertising is exceptional.
Lu Ming continued to comfort his female mentor, saying, "Judging from the current situation, redoing the project is definitely not a bad thing. We can try to recruit more doctoral students next spring."
Funding isn't a problem; I can figure it out. With more people and a more mature team, we can find another big project in the second half of next year.
Although Lin Xiaowei, the female doctoral supervisor, had a somewhat complicated situation—young, inexperienced, lacking a foothold at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, and somewhat naive in her dealings with people—Lu Ming still decided to work with her.
They are truly capable.
Based on Lu Ming's current estimation, this female doctoral supervisor's intelligence should be very close to the upper limit of advanced talent.
Especially when solving these very difficult mathematical modeling problems, in the areas of gradient analysis and convex function analysis, Lin Xiaowei's thinking was something that even several of her students found hard to understand.
Lu Ming could understand.
Because he has an intelligence of 12.5, plus a 15% boost to all attributes, he is exactly at the same level as Lin Xiaowei.
In terms of a math competition, it's like qualifying for the finals of the global Qiu Mathematics Championship.
Lin Xiaowei happened to be the first prize winner of the global Qiu Competition, which led to an invitation from MIT. She pursued her postdoctoral studies at MIT and then stayed on to teach.
In contrast, female PhD student Yang Xuan and two female graduate students did not even reach an intelligence score of 12.
In particular, the two female graduate students, Huang Danni and Zhao Jiayin, both had dangerously low intelligence scores (11 points each), and struggled with matrix operations and boundedness proofs.
In November, Jiangzhou is already in late autumn, which is the perfect time to soak in hot springs.
After the two cars arrived at a villa in the Longtanxia Hot Spring Resort, Lu Ming solemnly introduced his female doctoral supervisor to Yao Xuefang, Lin Manna, Xue Meiting, and Pan Li.
The children of these four mothers are either currently studying AI or will work hard to get into the AI program at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology in two years.
Therefore, Lu Ming specially organized a gathering to exchange ideas and lay the groundwork for the children's future.
While the mothers were trying to get closer to Lin Xiaowei, Lu Ming went to the changing room to change into his swimming trunks, and then, carrying his phone and bathrobe, went to the backyard to soak in the hot spring.
The Longtanxia Hot Spring Resort has more than sixty villas. The one he chose was newly renovated, with a larger area, more complete facilities, and more exquisite hot spring pools and landscapes at the back.
It has now been his private hot spring villa with the two female chairpersons.
The entire backyard has a surrounding corridor with more than a dozen Chinese-style glass palace lanterns hanging in it, resembling a garden in Jiangnan. There are also exquisite and unique rockeries on both sides of the hot spring pool.
Lu Ming placed his phone and bathrobe on the coffee table in the corridor, then entered the water at the nearest pool and sat on a stone chair in the hot spring pool.
This pool is quite large and can accommodate fourteen or fifteen people to soak in the hot spring together. There is a circle of stone chairs in the water, some of which can seat one person, some of which can seat three people, and there is also a stone couch that can comfortably accommodate four people to lie down, which is very convenient.
Under the sustained heat of the hot spring, the wide stone platform that floats slightly above the water is also very warm, and it feels very comfortable to lie on it.
They have money.
The entire hot spring villa was designed by a highly skilled individual specifically commissioned by the two female chairpersons.
Lu Ming had just soaked in the hot spring for a few minutes and was feeling comfortable when his phone suddenly rang. By the time he answered the call, six women had just changed into their swimsuits and entered the backyard.
Since it was Mei Yanping calling, Lu Ming figured they would chat for a bit. After answering, he gestured for the women to go soak in the hot springs first.
Don't stay here and listen to him talk.
How rude!
However, Yao Xuefang, Lin Manna, Lin Xiaowei, and Yang Xuan, who were soaking in the hot spring with him for the first time, were all stunned.
Under the light of the glass palace lanterns in the corridor, Lu Ming's figure looked incredibly strong and alluring.
He has a tall and upright figure with excellent proportions, making his legs appear very long, and his shoulders, chest, back, abdomen, and legs are all very muscular.
Yang Xuan, a female doctoral student, was only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old and had little life experience. It was the first time she had seen such an impactful muscular man in real life, and her brain was a little slow to process it.
Even so, she suddenly realized something.
It turns out to be the real "Lu Daqi".
No wonder he can easily secure tens of millions of dollars in research funding; he must have a knack for it!
He's already incredibly handsome, and he also has such amazing talents!
This is absolutely amazing!
