I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 629 Aren't you going to get beaten up for doing this?

After lunch, the family went to Tsinghua University next door.

As two of the top universities in China, Peking University and Tsinghua University have completely different architectural styles. The former is classical, carrying the inheritance of humanistic spirit with the artistic conception of classical literati, while the latter conveys the demands of modernization through Western-style architectural complexes. Together, they constitute two extreme paradigms of campus aesthetics in Chinese higher education.

The auditorium, the science museum, the Gongziting (工字厅), the second gate of the school, and finally, everyone took photos and checked in at the Lotus Pond under the Moonlight.

Song Shisong glanced in a certain direction, frowned slightly, and finally said to Xu Qingzhou, "Qingzhou, is that person over there looking for you?"

Height 183cm, weight 65-70kg, age around 30.

He had noticed that someone had been following them for four or five minutes.

"He's a bit weak, a typical sub-healthy state. He can be subdued within three moves."

Comrade Song silently added to himself. Having been away from the front lines for so long, he was actually feeling a little excited after just this short while.

"No impression."

Xu Qingzhou followed Song Shisong's gaze and saw a man wearing a plaid shirt. He searched his memory for everyone he knew, but couldn't find this person.

For some reason, Xu Qingzhou seemed to catch a glimpse of eager anticipation on Lao Song's face. It was somewhat familiar; wasn't that exactly what Song Yao looked like when she wanted to beat him up?

"Uncle Song, I'll go take a look."

He quickly said.

School beauty Song's violence was indeed inherited from her father, Song.

Xu Qingzhou clicked his tongue in amazement.

The other person noticed him at that moment and gave an awkward smile.

Xu Qingzhou figured that the person was probably someone he had met briefly at an academic conference but couldn't remember, so he walked over directly.

The young man was the first to greet him, "Professor Xu, hello."

"Hello."

Xu Qingzhou shook hands with the other party.

"I am Zhou Mingfeng, a student of Professor Yang Xiangyu from the School of Physics at Tsinghua University," Zhou Mingfeng introduced himself.

"So he's Professor Yang Xiangyu's top student."

Xu Qingzhou instantly remembered who the other person was. Professor Yang Xiangyu had proposed the theory of lithium bond chemistry and designed a highly stable electrolyte system. His related results were published in top journals such as Angewandte Chemie.

Two of them were written by Zhou Mingfeng, who is standing right in front of us.

He is indeed a talented person.

When it comes to leaders in the battery field, besides a few companies, Tsinghua University is one of the most outstanding. In 2019, Tsinghua University accounted for 25% of the global patents in the fields of pure electric vehicles and new energy general technology, ranking second in the world.

The well-known Qingtao Energy is an enterprise that has transformed the research results of Shuimu.

A few days ago, the ultra-thin composite solid electrolyte all-solid-state battery developed by Tsinghua University caused quite a stir in the industry.

"You flatter me. I wouldn't dare call myself a great student. I've only learned a tiny bit of what my teacher has learned. I'm sorry, I have severe face blindness. I was just checking to make sure it was you."

Zhou Mingfeng explained the stalking behavior he had just witnessed.

"Luckily, you don't have any bad intentions. My father-in-law is a martial arts expert."

Xu Qingzhou glanced at it, noticing Old Song's slightly regretful expression, and joked. He was also marveling at how sharp his father-in-law's eyes were, befitting his position in the criminal investigation team.

However, the little cabbage was still taken by herself.

Zhou Mingfeng smiled apologetically, "I just wanted to say hello and maybe get your contact information."

Xu Qingzhou did not refuse and exchanged phone numbers and email addresses with the other party.

He used to chat with big shots quite a bit. Having more friends means having more opportunities. This saying applies to every industry. You never know when you might find a collaboration on a project.

After getting the contact information, Zhou Mingfeng put down his phone. "Are you here with your family?"

"Yes, it's a holiday, so I'll just wander around."

"I can be your tour guide if needed," Zhou Mingfeng volunteered. "No need, we're just wandering around anyway, we're leaving soon."

Xu Qingzhou shook his head, paused, and then invited with a smile, "Would you be interested in working here? The research institute has just been established and is in need of talent like you."

"Our institute's benefits are among the best in the country, and in terms of career prospects alone, there are few institutions in China that can match ours."

"Ahem~ I..."

Before Zhou Mingfeng could finish speaking, a voice rang out from beside them, "Professor Xu, it's not right to poach people after all this time you've come all this way."

"Professor Yang, we meet again."

When Xu Qingzhou saw who it was, his expression froze, but as a seasoned veteran, he quickly regained his composure. Good grief, he'd just started recruiting and already run into their mentor; bad luck indeed.

"Professor Xu, you tried to poach my students on your first visit to Tsinghua University."

Yang Xiangyu said resentfully.

"It's rare to encounter such talent, and I couldn't resist."

Xu Qingzhou smiled and changed the subject, saying, "What a coincidence, to run into Professor Yang here."

"I came here specifically because I heard that Professor Xu came to Shuimu, so I came to see what he was up to. When will he be giving a few lectures here?"

Yang Xiangyu certainly couldn't be really angry.

Talent is always in flux; people strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill.

Xu Qingzhou said helplessly, "I've been quite busy lately, but I'll definitely come when I have the chance."

“That’s true. But with solid-state batteries so popular, are you really not considering a different approach? You know, once other companies build up technological barriers, it will be very difficult to conduct research again,” Yang Xiangyu said.

Xu Qingzhou shook his head: "The solid-state battery market is already very competitive, so I'm not going to squeeze in with it. Besides, I'm just worried that people will say I'm flipping the table again."

"."

Yang Xiangyu wanted to tell the young man not to be so arrogant, but upon closer reflection, he realized that this kid had really turned the field of superconducting thin films upside down, and many research groups were on the verge of collapse.

"Professor Xu is very confident."

"good."

Knowing that Xu Qingzhou's family was still waiting on the side, Yang Xiangyu greeted them, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then prepared to leave.

"Dr. Zhou, the Kyoto Institute for Materials Science welcomes you anytime."

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Xu Qingzhou said one more thing.

Zhou Mingfeng smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

Yang Xiangyu froze for a moment, realizing he couldn't stay any longer; if he stayed any longer, his precious student might easily be fooled by this kid.

Scientific research requires long-term goals, such as 5 or 10 years, but it would be foolish to set goals for 20 or even 30 years.

At the very least, the commercialization of lithium-sulfur batteries is still a long way off.

Solid-state batteries, on the other hand, are booming and have already achieved considerable success. At the current rate of development, they could be commercialized within 5 years.

Xu Qingzhou turned around and went back to the small group.

Who is it?

"A professor from the Department of Physics at Tsinghua University, and the young man is the professor's student. They both came over specifically to say hello."

Wang Xiaping's expression was strange: "Why do I hear you poaching people?"

"Yes, that young man is quite capable; he's the kind of talent our research needs."

"Aren't you sure you won't get beaten up for doing this?"
