Chapter 178 The Curse
As soon as Luo Xiu entered the door, he heard Yang Tianqi yelling sadly: "Pudin, why did you leave me!"

"Is Pudding the senior's girlfriend?"

Luo Xiu asked Li Shan in a low voice.

"Last time I heard from my senior that his girlfriend is called Misaka Mikoto."

Zhao Jianye next to him immediately objected fiercely: "Nonsense, Sister Pao is my wife."

Yang Tianqi carefully picked up a piece of hair on the table, "Pudding is the name of my hair. Her sister Milk Tea just left us yesterday. I didn't expect it to be her turn today. I didn't take good care of them."

After the senior finished speaking, he gently combed his only remaining strand of hair with his fingers.

"What do you come to see me for?"

"Senior, our fantuan wants to make an app, I wonder if you have one..."

Before Luo Xiu finished speaking, he was interrupted roughly, "Why do you have to find us? I beg you to find an outside company to do it! I really don't want to take this kind of work anymore, I just want to Hurry up and graduate with a doctorate!"

Yang Tianqi grabbed his hair with his hands while talking, and then let it go carefully, confirming that no new hair fell out, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Whether you can graduate or not, what does it have to do with us?"

Luo Xiu was a little confused.

"It's like this." Zhao Jianye pulled Luo Xiu aside, "With Senior Yang's ability, he should have graduated with a Ph.D., but his advisor, Professor Zhong, is holding him back and treating him like a cheap labor force."

With that said, Luo Xiu understood.

Many doctoral supervisors will pick up the work outside, and then hand it over to the doctoral students under him to help him, and take most of the project funds by themselves.

This is a normal phenomenon, and there is nothing to blame.

After all, under the leadership of their instructors, these students have also acquired knowledge and gained experience.

Excessively, some tutors suppress students from publishing papers, rob students of their thesis results, and ask students to postpone graduation in order to use two years of cheap labor.

Just like the previous project of Fantuan, Yang Tianqi led the students until ten o'clock in the evening every day, and sacrificed countless hairs to finally complete it.

Throughout the project, Professor Zhong basically did not come forward to guide, but took away 19 yuan in research funding, and only left 1 yuan for the hard work of the group of students, with an average of about 1000 yuan per student.

This income is not as good as part-time help such as customer service.

At least part-time customer service does not need to lose hair.

Professor Zhong can easily earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a month without doing anything.

This world is like this. When you reach a certain level, your income and effort are no longer positively correlated.

Yang Tianqi, who has worked so hard, can only get money that can only keep him from starving to death.However, Professor Zhong, who drinks tea and chats in the office every day, and occasionally attends a class or two, can own amazing wealth.

Luo Xiu walked up to Yang Tianqi and asked seriously: "Have you thought about leaving your mentor and working on your own? I can give you this opportunity."

"You mean to make me give up graduation?"

Yang Tianqi hesitated in his eyes.

"It depends on your own choice. Continue to help your mentor and wait for him to show mercy one day and let you graduate, or leave your mentor now and use your technology and ability to make money."

Apart from a diploma, the tutor has no binding force on him.

With his current skills, he can get a high salary from Luo Xiu immediately.

Staying here will only consume the most energetic time of my life.

Especially for a code farmer like myself, I have already wasted a few years more than others to study for a Ph. D. If I continue to waste like this, when I really come out to work, I will be over [-] years old, and my energy will start to decline, even worse than those students who have just graduated from undergraduate.

However, if you give up now, wouldn't it be in vain to do so much work for the tutor before?

I have invested a few years of time, is it just wasted like this?

Bear with it a little longer and get the graduation certificate in hand, not only to give an explanation to myself for so many years of hard work, but also to give an explanation to my parents.

My parents worked so hard to support my education, but I dropped out of school. I really don't know how to explain it to them.

Yang Tianqi did not make a decision right away.

Luo Xiu didn't force him either, but gave him two days to think about it.

Not everyone has the courage to change their original life plan without major changes.

……

At [-]:[-] am the next morning, Yang Tianqi was woken up by the alarm clock.

Professor Zhong asked him to report to the laboratory at [-] o'clock every morning to start a day's work.

In the past few years of his PhD, he got up earlier than a chicken, slept later than a dog, ate worse than a pig, and worked more than a cow!

But it's much better now. At the beginning, he had to go to the tutor's house to help clean the toilet.

Now this kind of work is done by younger brothers and sisters.

Yang Tianqi clocked in to enter the laboratory, turned on the computer, and recalled the conversation with Luo Xiu yesterday.

After a night of calmness, yesterday's impulse has disappeared.

He was used to the life of being oppressed, and it would be the worst choice to endure it a little longer and get his diploma smoothly.

And I have done so many things for my mentor, and I should be coming to an end soon.

Later, I will ask him when he can publish his thesis and when he can participate in the defense.

Yang Tianqi was writing his manuscript and was thinking about how to talk to his tutor, so he was called into the room by his tutor.

"Boss, what do you want from me?"

Zhong Liqun threw a piece of information to him, "There is a software development here, you go and recruit a few people, and I will make it within a week."

"Boss, this time is a little tight. I haven't finished my last development yet?"

Zhong Liqun tapped his fingers on the table, and asked in a voice that made people feel hairy: "I have given you enough time, are you working seriously? Such a small project, when do you want to do it?"

"There's a technical problem that I haven't figured out yet."

Yang Tianqi explained in a low voice.

"If you don't figure it out, take the time to figure it out. You left before 9 o'clock last night. I thought you had nothing to do."

"I last night..."

Yesterday was Yang Tianqi's 29th birthday.

A girl who has always had a crush on him said she wanted to celebrate his birthday, so she booked a restaurant and waited for him to come over.

After finally waiting for the tutor to leave the laboratory, he was able to slip away early.

But when he arrived at the restaurant, the girl had already left because she had been waiting for him for too long.

"I didn't feel well last night, so I went back to the dormitory to rest."

Yang Tianqi changed his reason.

If I celebrate my birthday and I want to go on a date with a girl, I will definitely be ridiculed by my instructor.

"What's going on with you recently? Work is getting worse and worse. Do you still want to graduate?"

【Do you still want to graduate】, these eight words are like a curse, making Yang Tianqi's feet tremble uncontrollably.

He tried to keep himself from shaking, but couldn't help it.

A total of seven years for a master's degree and a doctoral degree.

The last time I attended a reunion of undergraduate classmates, many of them had successful careers and had families and children.

Some came in luxury cars, and some bought second homes.

They were talking about the ups and downs of the stock market, and about the business situation this year.

Yang Tianqi, as the top student in his class, the only thing he can say is that he is about to graduate with a Ph.D.

Seven years of youth.

Just for that diploma.
