1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 324 It's not cold at all!
Duan Mingjuan's ecstasy lasted until the day she joined the crew, but after a group meeting, she was completely bewildered.

Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?
It wasn't that Lu Youyou's instructions for assigning tasks were unclear, but rather that she found herself unable to keep up with Lu Youyou's train of thought.

Apart from her, everyone else present was a teacher. She knew she was just a handyman, but the difficulty of doing odd jobs was far beyond her imagination.

No one would slow down the progress to accommodate the laborers, and Duan Mingjuan's smugness vanished at that moment.

She couldn't help but wonder if she would be replaced if she couldn't keep up. Although Lu Youyou hadn't said it, her sense of urgency grew stronger.

Lu Youyou noticed Duan Mingjuan's predicament. She did lack experience, but she had talent and was worth nurturing.

At this point, we should learn from Professor Hopkins' old method—read books, read books like crazy.

Lu Youyou took out a book list, which was no less long than the one she had received before.

Duan Mingjuan had been on edge all day, and when she finally finished work, she almost fainted when she saw the book list in front of her, which was a mix of Chinese and English.

She dared not refuse, nor did she want to refuse, especially after hearing that Lu Youyou had also gone through the same "test".

"Take your time and finish reading it before the final exam," Lu Youyou said, extending the deadline after careful consideration.

Duan Mingjuan felt like she'd been hit on the head with a hammer. What?! Before finals?!
However, there was no hint of joking in Lu Youyou's eyes. Duan Mingjuan even saw the unfinished sentence in her eyes—this amount of time should be enough, right?

"Teacher Lu, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task!"

Duan Mingjuan hadn't felt this pressure of time and heavy workload in a long time; she wasn't even this nervous before the college entrance examination.

She was glad that she had the idea of ​​applying for a government-sponsored study abroad program, and she never relaxed her English studies, otherwise she would not have been able to finish reading all these materials even if she stayed up all night.

When Duan Mingjuan was leaving, she ran into Kong Fansheng. She called out absentmindedly, "Hello, Teacher Kong. Goodbye, Teacher Kong."

Kong Fansheng quickly called out to her, "Watch out for the steps!"

However, she was a step too late; Duan Mingjuan missed a step and almost fell flat on her face.

The list of books in her hand just happened to float under Kong Fansheng's bicycle wheel. He bent down to pick it up and stared blankly for a few seconds.

"Is this the reference book that Teacher Lu gave you?"

Duan Mingjuan staggered a few steps before regaining her balance. When she heard the question, she realized that the book list was in Kong Fansheng's hand. She instinctively wanted to take it from him, because she couldn't lose it!
"Yes, Teacher Lu gave it to me."

Kong Fansheng didn't expect Lu Youyou to give him such a heavy burden right away. Let alone an undergraduate, even he would find it difficult to understand it in a short time.

Many of the foreign language books were personally contributed by Lu Youyou, and he has been studying them one by one during this period.

"Teacher Lu has high hopes for you, so work hard and don't let her down!"

Kong Fansheng recalled that if he had such good conditions and such a brilliant mentor when he was in college, his life might have been different.

Duan Mingjuan nodded vigorously: "I will!"

Regardless of whether her idol truly had high hopes for her, let's assume so. If getting into Tsinghua University was the first turning point in her life, this is the second.

The School of Marine Engineering was in an uproar because of Duan Mingjuan's matter.

Lu Youyou hadn't officially started teaching yet, and most students were just curious. But when a classmate joined the project team, it was a different story—the impact was like an earthquake. Why was Duan Mingjuan chosen? Her grades were good, but she was only ranked third, with two top students ahead of her. Why wasn't she selected?

No one dared to ask Lu Youyou directly; they could only confront the person involved.

"Maybe it's because of my good attitude!" Duan Mingjuan answered for the 101st time in response to the barrage of questions.

To be honest, she herself didn't know what Lu Youyou's criteria were for choosing people, but anyway, she was chosen.

"How could that be? Don't be so stingy. Teacher Lu didn't say she would only recruit one person. Even if there are other people, it won't affect you."

"Yes, Duan, please tell us!"

Duan Mingjuan could only smile wryly: "I really didn't do anything. I just often consulted Teacher Lu, as you all have seen. I didn't do anything else."

Unfortunately, no matter what she said, no one believed her.

In fact, Lu Youyou only glanced at the undergraduates' exam papers and assignments.
The foundation is not solid in the first two years, and the seniors are about to graduate, so the only option is the junior.

The person ranked first was focused on studying abroad and didn't even try to get close to Lu Youyou.

The second-place winner did ask Lu Youyou a few questions, but he didn't know about the project team at the time, and Lu Youyou hadn't publicly recruited anyone.

The top three are indeed quite different from the others, but Duan Mingjuan has one good point: she is quick-witted and imaginative.

The project she was going to do was essentially creating something from nothing, with no existing research results to draw upon. Given that their basic skills were roughly the same, a flexible mind was crucial.

Duan Mingjuan's answer was certainly not convincing, but she really couldn't say anything, and besides, she didn't have the energy to argue with others.

She now reads books the moment she opens her eyes every day, and even writes summaries in her dreams. She has no time to care whether others are envious or jealous.

If the project team can't produce results within a year, the idols won't be able to recruit students next year. Even if her contribution is insignificant, every little bit of effort counts.

After joining the team, Duan Mingjuan was able to learn new knowledge every minute and every second. Under this high-energy environment, her progress was rapid.

Being able to consult Lu Youyou anytime, anywhere, and being surrounded by five Tsinghua University professors, this environment was like a growth hormone. In the final exam of her junior year, Duan Mingjuan sat on the top spot for the first time.

This caused quite a stir among the team members. Was being a helper in the project team really that useful?

Is Teacher Lu still hiring?

What about the other professors? Are they hiring?
As a result, Lu Youyou would run into several students on her way to and from get off work every day, who would ask her how to get into the production team.

Duan Mingjuan said that a good attitude is useful, so let's make them even better!
Students, under the guise of seeking advice, stayed by Lu Youyou's side every day, and even some people dared to ask other professors questions.

Luo Youliang was secretly pleased as he looked at the bustling atmosphere at the School of Ocean Engineering.

Bringing Lu Youyou back was indeed a brilliant move by Bu Dada. It was worth it for him to fight CNOOC for her, fight the UFO team for her, and keep more than a dozen research institutions out.

Who says marine engineering is an unpopular field? It's anything but unpopular!
It's tough on Comrade Lu. Every day, a whole bunch of people follow her to and from get off work. Luo Youliang is worried that Lu Youyou might get impatient one day.

Since the students are so eager to take the postgraduate entrance exam, then they should all take it!
Comrade Xiao Lu will definitely get the enrollment qualification next year, and he welcomes it with open arms!
