Chapter 489: Don't Be So Enthusiastic, I'm Scared!
The next day, Chen Fan came to Professor Chen's office.
Professor Chen was originally explaining thesis issues to the three top students when he saw Chen Fan come in and nodded.
"Finished your thesis?"
Chen Fan placed the thesis on the desk.
"Hmm, just leave it there for now, I'll..."
Professor Chen's tone faltered as his gaze inadvertently swept over Chen Fan's thesis title.
"《Turbulence: 30 Years of China's Internet》."
"Oh? The topic you chose this time is quite interesting..."
Seeing this title, Professor Chen's expression was visibly intrigued.
He casually picked up the thesis, flipped through the outline and table of contents, then turned to the main text and glanced over it randomly.
As a result, this casual look caused Professor Chen to let out another light exclamation.
"Professor, I have something to do, I'll head back first."
"If there are any issues with the thesis, please call me after you've finished reviewing it."
Chen Fan said goodbye and turned to leave.
"Hmm... you can go, I'll take a look first."
Professor Chen replied vaguely without raising his head.
Originally intending to just browse through it casually, but after finishing, Professor Chen's calm expression became increasingly serious.
Whoosh.
He quickly flipped the thesis back to the first page and began to read it again.
This time, he read very carefully, almost word by word.
The three top students standing beside him looked confused.
What's going on? The professor was just explaining our theses to us three, how come he's suddenly reading the thesis of this guy who disappeared for almost a month?
And judging by the professor's expression, he's obviously completely immersed in it.
The three looked at each other, speechless.
If Chen Fan didn't look so different from Professor Chen, the three would have suspected this kid was the professor's illegitimate son.
Professor Chen read the second time very carefully, taking about 10 minutes to finish browsing.
At this moment, the expression on his face had begun to change for the second time.
From the previous seriousness to excitement, his eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.
"Your thesis..."
Professor Chen looked up excitedly, only to find Chen Fan wasn't in the office.
"Where's Chen Fan?"
"Huh? He left."
"Who told him to leave? Did I say he could go?"
The three looked at each other.
"Just now Chen Fan said he had something to do and left, you agreed..."
"What could be more important than the thesis? Quick, go bring him back to me."
"Professor, what about our theses..."
"What's the rush! You three go back first. When I have time, I'll review them and contact you."
The three had bitter expressions.
Professor, isn't this difference in treatment a bit too much?
The three left the office with gloomy faces.
As soon as they left, Professor Chen excitedly rubbed his hands and turned around twice on the spot.
Then he found his reading glasses from the side, put them on, took a pen and walked back to sit down.
He began the third reading.
This time he read even more carefully, writing and drawing on it as he read.
Occasionally he would take out a few books and materials from the bookshelf behind him, or type on the computer, seemingly searching for something.
However, as he looked up more and more references, the smile and excitement on Professor Chen's face became increasingly hard to conceal.
Meanwhile, the three top students finally caught up with Chen Fan at the university's third canteen.
Chen Fan was about to enter the cafeteria to eat.
"Classmate Chen Fan, wait a moment!"
The three ran up, panting.
Chen Fan turned to look at them.
"Oh, it's you guys. What's the matter?"
Although they were assigned to the same group, Chen Fan had barely spoken a few words with these three top students who always stuck together.
Even now, he couldn't recall their names.
"Classmate Chen Fan, you should go back quickly. Professor Chen is looking for you."
"Looking for me?"
Chen Fan looked puzzled, "I said goodbye to him when I left."
"Yes. But Professor Chen now wants you to go back immediately."
"Now?"
"Yes, yes, right now. Hurry back. Don't keep the professor waiting."
"But I haven't eaten yet."
Chen Fan glanced at the cafeteria entrance, feeling a bit annoyed.
The three beside him were even more annoyed.
The professor is calling you, and you still want to eat first?
Who do you think you are?
"Hurry and go. Don't make the professor angry."
"Go quickly."
Chen Fan looked at the three, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and turned to walk towards Professor Chen's office.
As he walked, he grumbled and complained.
"What's this old man up to?"
The three behind him heard this and had strange expressions, looking at each other.
"This guy..."
"What kind of person is he?"
Back at Professor Chen's office, Chen Fan knocked on the door.
"Reporting."
"Come in."
Looking up and seeing it was Chen Fan, Professor Chen immediately stood up from his chair.
"Xiao Chen, come in quickly."
"Sit, sit anywhere, don't be so formal."
Chen Fan looked surprised, thinking to himself, what's wrong with this old man? Suddenly becoming so enthusiastic.
"Here. Want some tea?"
Seeing Professor Chen was about to make tea for him personally, Chen Fan quickly waved his hands.
"Professor, no need. I'm not thirsty."
Professor Chen chuckled and still poured a glass of water for Chen Fan and brought it over.
This was already a great honor.
Chen Fan pretended to be flattered, but in his heart, he had already guessed what was going on.
Probably because Professor Chen had read the content of his thesis.
Sure enough, the next second Professor Chen stared at Chen Fan intently and asked.
"Xiao Chen, did you write this thesis yourself?"
"Of course my thesis was written by me."
"That's not what I meant." Professor Chen waved his hand with a smile.
"I'm asking if you referenced from anywhere else when writing this thesis?"
Isn't that just plagiarism!
Chen Fan understood Professor Chen's meaning now.
"Except for some of the data inside, the rest of the content was all written by me."
"Hmm. I believe you."
Professor Chen nodded with a smile.
He had just checked quite a few materials, but couldn't find Chen Fan's thesis content in either books or on the computer.
This proves that this thesis is definitely Chen Fan's original work.
At this moment, the smile on Professor Chen's face became even brighter.
"Drink some water, make yourself at home here, don't be shy."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "Professor, what exactly do you want to say? Is my thesis not good enough?"
"That's not it, I've looked at this thesis just now, it's quite good."
"That's fine then."
Chen Fan nodded, finally relieved.
"Xiao Chen, sit for a while, let me look at your thesis again, and we'll have a good chat after I finish reading."
Chen Fan heard this and decisively said: "Professor, why don't you read first, I'll take my leave, I haven't eaten yet."
"How about I come back in the afternoon?"
How could Professor Chen let him leave?
"Haven't eaten? Child, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"How about this, I'll call the school cafeteria and have them send over a few stir-fry dishes, you can eat lunch here today."
Chen Fan's mouth opened slightly, with a dumbfounded expression.
Professor, don't be so enthusiastic, I'm scared!
