Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 535
Mayu Chida?Bei Yuan frowned slightly when he heard the name.At this time, he remained fully vigilant against any newly emerged case characters.Especially when Mikiko didn't tell him the whole truth, a character who may appear suddenly is a dangerous pit.

"Who is this Chida?" Kitahara leaned forward slightly and asked.

Mikiko curled her lips, as if she was talking about someone who made her extremely uncomfortable, "This Chida is a female doctoral student recruited by my mentor Muraki two years ago. To be honest, the reason why I hate her is not because I hate her. It's that she first started to be hostile to me for no reason."

"An inexplicable hostility to you? What's going on?" Bei Yuan continued to ask.

After learning that Qiantian was also a female doctoral student, Bei Yuan became even more strange.

Things started to make no sense.

What kind of hatred can there be between doctors and fellow students?
"The thing is like this." Mikiko tidied her hair, "About when I was a third-year doctoral student, this Chida was recruited. She is a student of Muraki like me. I originally greeted freshmen I don’t have much interest in activities such as meetings, but since she is also a junior sister of the same school as mine, I went too.”

"The first impression she gave me was that kind of quiet, gentle, and seldom-talking girl. I didn't have much communication with her at the freshmen reception. I also chatted with her a few academic things casually. Question, I feel like she is the kind of student who should be very diligent and hardworking, but can't grasp the main points. Generally speaking, students like this type are the most inconspicuous in the laboratory which type."

"However, after actually enrolling, this Qiantian unexpectedly became a big celebrity in the laboratory."

"Big celebrity?" Bei Yuan was puzzled for a moment, "What does it mean to be a big celebrity? Could it be that your biology laboratory still has to audition just like the entertainment circle, and get a job?"

Mei Xizi curled her lips as if to refute Beiyuan's words, but just as she was about to speak, she burst out laughing, "Lawyer Beiyuan, you're right. Yes, the laboratory is just like the entertainment circle to draft and get a position. Just now What I mean by Dahongren is that you can continue to publish papers as a co-author with your mentor and project team.”

"The resources of a project team and a laboratory are limited." Mei Xizi went on to say: "This means that the resources available to each doctoral student are also limited. Or, to put it more cruelly, giving a doctoral student resources More and less resources for other PhD students. In other words, there is a relentless battle for resources among PhD students. Everyone desperately wants to get from their supervisor, from the research group, from The project team gets more resource support.”

"The ivory tower." Mikiko's eyes suddenly froze for a moment, and then she let out a self-deprecating, slightly sad laugh, "This is the ivory tower. This is the ivory tower that everyone yearns for."

The female doctor who was deprived of her degree looked up at Beiyuan and said, "You must know that it is very difficult for doctoral students to find a teaching position after graduation. In the current environment, in a country like Japan, every year The number of doctoral students graduating has already exceeded the supply of teaching positions on the market. Every doctoral student is looking for an opportunity to seek a teaching position in a university. When it comes to writing a thesis, everyone has a doctorate degree, and no one can write a thesis. So , At this time, it is time to fight for resources and the key point of fighting for connections."

"How far can you, a doctoral student, publish a paper by yourself? But if you can follow your supervisor and follow a good research group, then in minutes, you may be able to obtain the authorship of a paper in a top journal without any effort. What a laboratory can provide is not only the support of experimental equipment, but also opportunities for doctoral students to publish papers in top journals, letters of recommendation that cannot be met, interpersonal networks with academic journal editors, and co-organization of large-scale academics. The contacts brought by the meeting, etc. Only with these, can today’s doctoral students get admission tickets to the ivory tower in the brutal competition for chairs. Like in the past, only one amazing article can be amazing Gone are the days when Yan’s doctoral dissertation was enough to get a teaching position, and now when you are a doctoral student, the most useless thing is your doctoral dissertation.”

"Yes, a dissertation that determines whether you can get a doctorate degree has become the least important thing." Mikiko's eyes revealed a trace of imperceptible loss. "

"Then it seems that what you mean by Qiantian being a celebrity is..." Beiyuan looked thoughtfully at the girl in front of him.

Mikiko nodded, "Yes, that Chida can do this. She quickly became one with my supervisor and other senior professors in the research group, and soon became a popular person in the laboratory, almost everyone in the laboratory The author of every paper has her name. In large academic conferences, she obtained the qualifications to participate in the conference without any effort. In less than one year after entering the school, she has published as a co-author on many top journals paper."

"Lawyer Beiyuan, don't underestimate this. You know, some doctoral students work so hard, but they can't even get on the acknowledgments list of their papers, and some doctoral students just proofread and edited the format of their papers, but You can get the status of a paper author. Some doctoral students go to academic conferences and get nothing, while some doctoral students go to academic conferences but can directly book the next chair position. There are many ways to do this Very good. And this Qiantian is very good at this method."

"Of course, I don't have any objections to this Chida. You follow your sunny path, and I will follow mine." Mikiko said, "But for some reason, she took the initiative to provoke me."

"Take the initiative to provoke you?" Bei Yuan frowned, "Since she is already a celebrity in the laboratory, why does she come here to be hostile to you?"

Mikiko spread her hands helplessly, "Yes, I don't know either. The way she deals with me is a lot of pediatric ways. Like knowing what experimental equipment I need, she deliberately borrows it and occupies it for a long time. In the doctoral student Inexplicably, he began to speak ill of me overtly and secretly. When arranging academic conferences, he deliberately tripped me up, such as giving me a remote control without batteries, or causing some temporary glitches in the projector. At the beginning, I I thought these frictions were accidental, but when I gradually realized that she was targeting me, I was puzzled for a long time, and couldn't figure out why she took the initiative to see me as a dislike."

"In the end, when the two of us had a public conflict, it was because she deliberately damaged my experimental samples." Mei Xizi said: "I have a batch of experimental samples that need to be placed in the refrigerator in the laboratory. At that time, it happened that I was the only one in the refrigerator. She pretended not to know anything and turned off the power to the refrigerator. After I found out, I threw the sample at her unceremoniously."

"Smash... Smash it over." Miyagawa opened his mouth slightly beside him.

It was very hard for Miyagawa to imagine that something close to a fight could happen between polite doctoral students and in the laboratory.

Mikiko sneered, "Of course, after the sample was smashed, she also fought back. The two of us grabbed each other's hair and wrestled together, breaking many catheters and reagents in the laboratory. Later, The other students in the lab held us back. In the end, this matter was reduced to a small one, and it ended with the two of us losing some money to the lab. From then on, I will fully disclose it to this Qiantian Broken."

"Isn't it absurd? If there is anyone who doesn't like me, it should be this Chida."

"That is to say, you think she is the one who reported your thesis for plagiarism?" Beiyuan asked in a deep voice.
