My "academic genius" persona is so convincing!

Chapter 87: Old Demon Pill and Little Demon Pill Fight in 4 Places?

"Junior, I wonder if you've read that paper on affordable luxury from Tsinghua University?"

Just as they sat down and were waiting for their food, Sun Chengen hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I saw it." Xue Lin nodded naturally. "They can do their thing, we'll do ours, let's keep to ourselves."

"This isn't a matter of keeping to ourselves; they're plagiarizing!"

"And it's exactly the same as what you said, just a medieval style with a bit of modern style, it's still the same old Western style."

Before Xue Lin could say anything, Sun Chengen became agitated.

"Isn't this just plagiarism of minimalism?"

"Moreover, they can't even do minimalism properly."

"Of their architectural models, only the few that leaned heavily towards minimalism were somewhat well done; the others didn't really have any style."

"Here, have some osmanthus cake."

Xue Lin handed him the pastries, interrupting his thoughts and also to calm him down.

"Although Professor Chen didn't ask me to publish this time, I'm already working on my article. I'll show it to my junior, Xue Lin, when the time comes."

"If there are any changes or inappropriate parts, I will make the changes, add your names, and then contact Dean Chen directly to send them out."

After hearing this, Xue Lin shook his head slightly.

A PhD student wants to publish a paper on liquidation, and they want his name to be listed, and then Dean Chen's name to be listed as well?

However, Xue Lin actually had some respect for this senior who loved stirring up trouble.

This shows that at least they are relatively honest in their academic pursuits.

Most people just get by and are content with what they have.

This type of person makes up the majority, and when it comes to papers, if you take any shortcuts, you won't have to delay graduation.

Those who delayed graduation were all stubborn and single-mindedly focused on studying data.

Some data isn't important, but it takes a long time to process. If you spend your time on it, wouldn't you be wasting your time?

But these data only require a simple "optimization," and no one investigates them in detail.

Xue Lin didn't say much.

Being able to obtain three prestigious bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees speaks volumes about one's abilities, and integrity is also a valuable quality.

"Okay, I don't have any problems on my end."

Xue Lin just smiled and said, "But you don't need to be too harsh with your words. After all, it was a lot of effort for others to come up with this idea."

Does plagiarism count?

"If plagiarism is considered a skill, then why don't we all just plagiarize?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Lin didn't say much.

There are only so many innovative ideas I can think of.

Most people just copied it.

Sometimes, you might come up with an innovative idea for a paper in the middle of the night, and then you immediately get up excitedly to prepare your thoughts.

However, it was discovered that this paper had already been published during the Qing Dynasty.

Accidentally trespassing on someone else's ancestral grave is considered an accident.

However, this had nothing to do with the matter at hand. The food was served, and Xue Lin didn't think much of it.

"Senior, try this crab."

"It's quite delicious."

"it is good."

"Senior, you should try some too."

……

in the afternoon.

They went directly to Dean Li's office and handed over the drawings.

"Let me have Dean Chen come over," Dean Li said with a smile. "After all, I didn't handle this project, and I don't understand the details."

"it is good."

Chen Hui arrived in just over ten minutes, clearly having turned down many things.

"I have a meeting at 5 o'clock, and then I have to catch a flight to go on a business trip to another city. I can only take a quick look at the blueprints for now. I'll work on the rest tonight."

Chen Hui said with a smile.

However, there was a hint of fatigue in her smile.

Chen Hui is definitely a workaholic.

"Dean Chen, can your body handle working so hard?" Even Dean Li sighed and asked.

Chen Hui rubbed his temples. "It's alright. I've been quite busy lately. Things will be a bit more relaxed after the subject evaluation."

"That means it'll be another year..."

One year.

If you stay up like this every day, your health might suffer.

"It's fine."

Chen Hui smiled and said, "Let's go take a look at the blueprints."

Soon, everyone arrived at Xue Lin's office.

The blueprints have been open for a while now.

Chen Hui opened the main structure of the blueprints.

I watched it carefully for a while.

His eyes were also extremely serious.

And it carried a hint of appreciation.

"Both the structure and the architectural decoration look beautiful."

"The details are also very well done."

"To be honest, I just looked at this drawing too. I come from an architectural design background, but after seeing this drawing, I realized that this minimalist design is really quite interesting."

Dean Li, who was standing to the side, also spoke up with a smile.

Chen Hui naturally nodded.

"That's fine then."

"I don't think there's much room for improvement in this design. Let's get the drawings done quickly. We might need to coordinate with the client later. I'll send the drawings to the client for review first."

"Yes, this is the best." Dean Li nodded.

Chen Hui stood up immediately.

"Send me the drawing directly, I'll take a look at the details tonight."

"You should also start construction at the same time."

It's practically a done deal.

Xue Lin naturally nodded in agreement.

"it is good."

After reviewing the blueprints, there were no further problems.

As for the details, they should be mostly perfected within the next week.

"I think the most important thing about this kind of design is creativity. In fact, once the building is completed, everyone feels that the other projects are quite simple."

Dean Li was also smiling.

Chen Hui naturally nodded in agreement.

Dean Li continued.

"The main building alone is already stunning and beautiful enough. As for the internal structure, we just need to fill it in, and we can finish it very soon."

"Alright, then thank you for your hard work, Dean Li."

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work." Dean Li puffed out his chest.

There was a hint of relaxation in his eyes.

After all, he had been criticized by Chen Hui for his minimalism before. Now, he was even able to express his opinion on minimalism. Wasn't that progress?

In the workplace, isn't it important to let your boss see your progress?

Chen Hui looked at Xue Lin, his expression turning serious.

"Dr. Sun told me about the paper, and I agree. Since they've already taken the lead, we should naturally retaliate."

Xue Lin was slightly speechless.

Is this the old demon pill taking the little demon pill out to fight every day?

It seems unusual for academic circles to break ties so openly.

After all, we're all in the same industry, we see each other all the time, who doesn't know who, and who hasn't reviewed your university's projects?

If you offend someone, and they try to hold you back, it could lead to a lot of trouble.

However, Xue Lin simply nodded; he had no objection.

"Alright."
