My "academic genius" persona is so convincing!

Chapter 32 The old PhD student who delayed graduation is preparing to poke a hole in the sky!

"Mom supports you. Do whatever you want without worry. I really like this style of art. As for the opinions online, you don't need to care too much."

Xue Lin looked at his mother.

So, his mom never shared any short videos or news about him with him, just so he wouldn't overthink it?

However, he is not that fragile.

In today's information age, who isn't subject to criticism and judgment?

Especially a new theory.

It could even be described as a somewhat "extreme" theory.

However, he thought to himself, this is nothing.

He hasn't even unleashed his more extreme theories yet.

At that time, it won't just be an earthquake in the architectural field; the entire literary and artistic field will be shaken to its core.

After all, literature, architecture, art, mathematics, and physics are interconnected.

During the Renaissance, some painters were also architects, and even mathematicians.

He's not in a hurry now.

The architectural history he wrote has only opened a single page.

There will be many more pages to come!

"If I can get the top score in the college entrance examination, I can promote this minimalism during the interview and also promote my own construction company. This might bring a wave of traffic."

Xue Lin pondered for a moment.

But there's no rush for that.

We'll definitely have to take it slowly.

......

For the next few days, Xue Lin was busy studying. As for the construction-related matters, although he was also very concerned about them, it was just one of many things he was doing and did not affect his daily life too much.

For him, the college entrance examination is still more important.

After school, I still spend an hour writing a paper.

Being a senior in high school is incredibly tiring.

Although it's still manageable for now.

He didn't think much of it.

As for farming keywords, that's just basic stuff.

Right now, he's just trying his best to browse through academic-related terms.

After all, studying is more important.

Whether it's senior year of high school or even university, university studies are perhaps even more important.

I started taking professional courses in university.

I was introduced to mathematics and mechanics.

Both of these courses are fundamental to architecture, and they need to be studied in the same depth as their major.

Architecture encompasses so much.

"By the time the second mock exam is over, I should be able to get the first colored entry."

"Things will be much easier then."

At least you won't have to put too much pressure on yourself, and then you'll be able to develop many side hustles.

He thought copying was good enough.

Literature and music can also be quite lucrative.

The most important thing is brand recognition.

Once you gain recognition, making money becomes much easier.

Moreover, the philosophical ideas and theories behind his architecture require underlying construction.

It's much easier to build a large fan base through music and literature, and then promote philosophical ideas to them.

Moreover, these fans should also have decent spending power, right?

I'll look into the architectural design then.

Buying a house? We offer design services!

Therefore, accumulating a large following is necessary; then, one can command a large following...

Of course, it's not a rebellion.

......

Several days later, his two papers were finally completed.

As I said before, minimalism and life are closely related.

For example, if you frequently rent and move, your life will be forced to become extremely minimalist.

Because I don't want trouble and want to keep things simple, I simply threw away all the non-essential items, even though this may not be the best way to live.

But since it's a lifestyle choice, it's good that someone is doing it.

Xue Lin didn't think much of it.

I sent the two papers directly to Professor Guo and Professor Chen Hui.

......

Guo Jinshi was quite satisfied with the paper.

"That's also acceptable. Minimalism is a lifestyle choice for young people, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. Although it doesn't have much to do with architecture, at least it's a fundamental benchmark for architectural design."

"It's out!"

......

After receiving the paper, Chen Hui examined it for a long time.

"This paper..."

Chen Hui sat in front of the computer, his expression showing some hesitation and confusion.

This paper is not bad.

It delves deeply into architectural design.

Moreover, it's practically an annotation for that top international journal article, showing not only what it is, but also why it is. It can be said that it has sorted out the past, present, and future of minimalism.

You can even use this concept directly to create designs!

but.

It's too weak in aggression!

This is equivalent to someone slapping you in the face while you're still trying to explain your point of view—that's wrong.

"Never mind, thankfully I was prepared."

He made several phone calls.

"Hey? Little Sun, how's the paper I asked you to write coming along?"

"Still writing, almost finished."

Oh.

Chen Hui gave a meaningful "oh".

What do you mean by "still writing" or "almost finished"?

He wouldn't believe a single word his doctoral students said.

If they're still writing, they're probably still playing.

After all, the deadline hasn't arrived yet.

If it's almost finished, then it means it hasn't even started writing yet!

"I'll send you an unpublished paper as an outline. You need to follow it exactly, and when the time comes, you have to refute that paper until it's speechless, understand?"

"This paper, with my name on it, I'll be the corresponding author. It'll be published in a few days. I remember, you're just one paper away from meeting the graduation requirements, right? Don't let me down!"

Chen Hui spoke earnestly, but his words also carried a hidden meaning.

Dr. Sun across from him suddenly perked up.

His face was full of gratitude.

What is a mentor? This is a mentor!

They finally agreed to give him special treatment!

Otherwise, I might really become an old PhD student who has to delay graduation!

Every year when he goes back home for blind dates, his relatives even boast that he is a scientist.

But only he himself knew.

Graduating with a PhD seems a long way off; all that's missing is a high-impact journal paper.

However, even if you write papers until you go bald, it's all for nothing; you still won't be admitted if you're not going to.

Now, is there finally an opportunity?

This is giving the green light!

Although he was still cursing his mentor at noon today.

But now, he doesn't mind calling him godfather!

He hung up the phone, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "It's just Tsinghua University, right? Let's take them down!"

He also knew that Chen Hui was willing to take huge risks to give him the green light, which meant he wanted him to be a scapegoat and make a huge mess of things!

But he's almost not going to graduate, so what's there to be afraid of?

He would switch careers as long as he could graduate.

This damn architecture is bullshit! Anyone who wants to study it can study it!

"Chen Jin, right? Although I used your textbooks when I was preparing for my postgraduate entrance exam, I'm sorry now!"

Looking at the paper that Chen Hui sent him.

He read it carefully, and soon he started typing away on the computer.
