My art is too advanced.

Chapter 370 A Stain on My Education! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!!)

"Teacher Zhou seems to have a strong passion for art?"

“I like art, including architecture,” Zhou Yue said with a gentle smile.

Principal Gao nodded. "Alright then, I wish Teacher Zhou all the best on her artistic journey."

"Thank you."

……

Soon after, Teacher Guo invited him to dinner.

"Thank you so much. I know you've put in a lot of effort on this," Teacher Guo said with a smile. "I won't give you any money; you're not short of cash anyway."

"Let me think of something to give you."

"Just send me your blessings," Zhou Yue said with a smile while eating. "Wish me to become an academician soon."

"I don't think you should be so enthusiastic about this position," Teacher Guo said, somewhat surprised.

"So it's a pretty good wish, because I'm not too keen on this position, but I think it's alright."

"I'll be twenty-seven next year, and I'll try to become an academician before I turn thirty."

Professor Guo was speechless. It's really audacious to think that someone could become an academician before the age of thirty!
That's definitely much better than Principal Gao.

At least in terms of academic level, Professor Zhou is now far more advanced than Principal Gao was back then. Principal Gao was just a top scientist among humans, but the person in front of us is almost not human!

Especially from a scientific perspective, much of his research breaks with convention and common sense, and he does things that no one would normally be willing to do.

"However, if it were you, it would probably be around next year. This year you might be facing some suppression."

Teacher Guo uttered those two words calmly and unhurriedly.

After all, she was the one who nominated the academician, so she definitely knows more about the process than Professor Zhou.

He didn't know or even want to know the intricacies of the situation, but all the materials and information were there. The fact that Professor Zhou was not elected as an academician meant that someone above must have intervened and directly suppressed him; otherwise, the outcome would not have been the same.

There was definitely some suppression, and perhaps the higher-ups just wanted to protect him. In short, considering all these factors, this is probably the situation.

Anyway, we didn't achieve that goal.

Therefore, everything that follows will basically revolve around this goal.

If your academic achievements are truly outstanding, even if someone in power wants to suppress you, they will have to consider the social impact.

Zhou Yue wiped his mouth. In fact, he no longer had such a deep obsession with becoming an academician in China. Once he had the status of an academician, he wouldn't think about it anymore.

And for him...

These titles are of little use to him; in fact, money and fame mean almost nothing to him.

He was even more surprised when the university president promised to help him build an art college.

“I have spoken with President Gao about building an art college in this university, and I will serve as its dean. Therefore, I will not take on the role of dean of the architecture college.”

"Then I'll do it?" Teacher Guo asked in surprise.

Why are people so uninterested in architecture these days?

"No, because we've basically done everything that can be done in the field of architecture. I've already developed this integrated architecture software. Next, it's about filling some academic gaps and some academic journals. I'll be the editor-in-chief of the architecture journal at this university of science and technology. I won't get involved in anything else."

"It's mainly about art school stuff." This was the first time Professor Guo had seen him so passionate about art, but he thought it was alright, since the person in front of him did indeed have a lot of artistic qualities.

He is not someone who is solely focused on architecture.

However, it elevated the building to a level that the world has to look up to.

"But I don't think I can serve as vice principal for very long, as I'll be retiring soon."

"It will only be five or six years at most," Teacher Guo sighed. "If it's a change of leadership, there will definitely be people below me who have achieved more and have more seniority than me."

"This time may be shortened even further."

"That's no problem. I will focus on training Lin Ning."

"Your PhD student?"

Professor Guo was quite surprised. After all, if a PhD graduate this year or next, even if they start as an assistant professor, it might take them a long time to adapt.

Furthermore, taking over the internal affairs of the academy requires time for training.

"But it's up to you. If you think it's okay, then it's okay. I'm sure there won't be any problems on my end. If you want him to come up, then I will fully support him."

"President Gao should be able to make an exception for you, and Lin Ning's starting point was much higher than yours. After all, he started as a doctoral student. If he is promoted to professor in a short period of time, it's not bad."

"After all, it's not common for academicians to be under thirty, but there are professors around thirty years old."

"Of course, there aren't many people as abnormal as you. Being able to be promoted to a second-level professor at this stage is already quite an achievement, but you've also been promoted to a second-level professor in the School of Literature."

"When I heard the news a few days ago, I thought Dean Chen had gone mad."

"But now that I think about it, it's not so bad. Since you have this level of ability, we'll give you this title. We'll talk about the rest later. It's impossible for us to keep this title and not give it to you just because you have this level of ability."

Zhou Yue smiled as well.

"Therefore, I plan to pave the way for Lin Ning and bring his academic records over as well. I won't give him a doctoral degree from Ning University, since Ning University seems a bit too low in many aspects."

“If it were Huaguo University of Science and Technology, it would be worthy of his previous two degrees.”

Teacher Guo's eyes lit up. It was indeed possible to do it that way, but...

This requires an application to the higher authorities.

But it doesn’t matter.

Even if you need to apply to higher authorities, it only goes up to the university president, who can then get it done.

Since they want to build Huaguo University of Science and Technology into a top-tier university.

It might even become like the University of Tokyo.

The University of Tokyo started with a few science and engineering disciplines and eventually became one of the world's top ten universities.

The same applies to Huaguo University of Science and Technology.

Starting with the development of several science and engineering disciplines, the conditions are certainly much better than those of the University of Tokyo back then. However, it is still quite difficult to run a new university well now, even with the support of national resources.

Let's see how it goes. Anyway, we'll definitely find a place in architecture. Zhou Yue alone is a top-tier discipline.

Lin Ning's academic qualifications shouldn't have been lowered by Ningda University.
