At that moment, Gao Lei was feeling like he was feeling pins and needles. He could feel the hostility of everyone present, but in this scene where he was surrounded by wolves, he didn't even have the same weapon to be a favor. He almost felt like he was a person on the throne and I was a fish.

But as soon as Maldo entered the door, Gao Lei cheered up. He saw through Cai Xingquan's tricks in an instant. To put it bluntly, Cai Xingquan was not sure about this assessment and was afraid that something would happen on the scene. So he found a foreign guest to be a nurseryman. At that time, he would say a few words and block everyone's mouth.

In this era, the Chinese people's admiration for foreign guests is unparalleled, and only foreigners are in the academic circle. As long as a foreign expert speaks, domestic experts generally will not say anything. Because of this, some units have learned to rely on foreigners and invite foreign guests to stand on the platform in everything. Gao Lei himself has done such things.

It is precisely because he has done that Gao Lei is quite proficient in this. He firmly believes that the Maldo invited by Cai Xingquan must be a decoration, and his identity will certainly not be fake, because scholars who come to visit in China must have been verified by relevant national departments. But whether this person is authoritative, especially whether it can be considered as welding authority, is worthy of a question. Cai Xingquan just introduced him as an executive member of W, and he doesn't know what this W is for. His latter identity is a professor at Stockholm University. Is this university very famous?

Since he knew that the other party was here to be a nurseryman, Gao Lei found a way to break the situation. He could have predicted the result of this assessment, and it must have been Du Xiaodi who passed the test successfully. But Maldo's flaw is enough to make people doubt the seriousness of this assessment. As long as Gao Lei grasps this point, even if the conclusion of the assessment is not overturned, at least this assessment can become a unsolved case, and Gao Lei will be able to pass the test.

Thinking of this, Gao Lei smiled slightly. He even gave Maldo a kind smile, and naturally he also gained an equally kind but somewhat confusing smile.

"Since Professor Cai has arrived, let's start."

After Yu Feng settled Maldo, he said to everyone at the audience:

"Today, we are conducting a graduate level assessment here. This is an assessment activity for graduate freshmen who implemented the instructions of the Education Commission on improving the quality of graduate teaching requirements. The student who was admitted today is Du Xiaodi, a master's student in the Department of Materials. It should be noted that this assessment is just a pilot of our series of assessment activities. In the future, we will conduct the same assessment for other graduate freshmen. Du Xiaodi, please do not have any ideological burden."

Although everyone in the audience knew that Yu Feng was talking lies, these lies still had to be said. This assessment will leave an assessment record. If Yu Feng said that it was because someone reported it, then no matter what the result was, it would leave a stain on the school and Du Xiaodi. And it doesn’t matter if the assessment was called a routine teaching activity. Even if the assessment results were not satisfactory, it would be a matter in the teaching process and there would be more room for maneuver.

Du Xiaodi left her seat and walked to the podium. She bowed to everyone again, and then said: "I am very happy to be able to accept the assessment organized by the school. I know this is the school's encouragement for me. I hope to discover my shortcomings in the assessment, and I hope to receive guidance from all the experts, teachers and leaders here."

After saying all kinds of clichés, they entered the expert assessment stage. Yang Zhuoran and Li Zhaohui are both experts in the field of welding. After receiving the task, they also made some preparations. The questions they prepared included three levels. Elementary level questions were used to assess whether Du Xiaodi had some basic common sense; intermediate level questions were used to assess whether Du Xiaodi could reach the first-year graduate level; as for higher-level questions, they were basically used to encourage Du Xiaodi to continue working hard. These questions were quite difficult for first-year graduate students, and they did not expect Du Xiaodi to answer them.

Maldo's appearance disrupted the plans of Yang Zhuoran and Li Zhaohui. Since there were foreign guests on the scene, the first opportunity to ask questions was naturally to give them to the foreign guests, which was also a kind of respect. Yang Zhuoran made a gesture to Maldo and said, "Mr. Maldo, please ask first."

"I asked a question, is it appropriate?" asked Maldo.

"Of course it's appropriate. Mr. Principal has hired you as a member of the expert group." Yang Zhuoran said.

"Oh, that's so honorable." Maldo said. His words just now were just routine refusal. Yang Zhuoran asked him to ask a question first, which was something he could not ask for.

"Ms. Du Xiaodi, I actually came here to find you. I just heard from Professor Cai that you were the one who was under the assessment today, so I asked him to bring me over so that I could have the opportunity to ask you for advice."

Maldo opened his mouth and threw everyone present. Some people didn't understand English, so some people who knew English helped to translate. As a result, everyone was stunned. What's the rhythm? Could it be that the child care that Cai Xingquan found was too much, right?

"Mr. Maldo, it's a great honor, but I don't quite understand. You are an expert in the welding industry. I'm just a graduate student. How could you come to me specifically?"

Du Xiaodi stammered. In fact, her English speaking and listening skills are very good, of course, thanks to Feng Xiaochen's persistent one-on-one training. But at this time, she couldn't help but stutter because what Maldo said was beyond her imagination. She came to find herself and asked her for advice. Could it be that Lao Ma was wrong? Or was she just heard it wrong?

"I ask you for advice because of this article you published in the Journal of Welding." Maldo took out a stack of copy paper from his bag and shook it at Du Xiaodi. Du Xiaodi could see clearly at a glance. It was a paper she did some time ago about the welding process of 16mnr steel. The paper involved theoretical derivation of several different process effects, and the core of it was a set of numerical simulation methods for thermal equations.

The creativity of this paper is Du Xiaodi's own. The difference between these processes comes from her practice in the factory. After listening to her introduction to the relevant situation, Cai Xingquan suggested that she conduct research theoretically, which led to the topic of this paper. The numerical simulation part of the thermal equation was Feng Xiaochen. He designed an algorithm for Du Xiaodi, and also helped Du Xiaodi contact several industrial enterprises with large computers and completed the calculations for Du Xiaodi when using idle machines.

After obtaining satisfactory calculation results, Cai Xingquan encouraged Du Xiaodi to translate the article into English and submit it to the Journal of Welding, a top international journal in the industry. When signing, Cai Xingquan did not steal Du Xiaodi's limelight, but asked Du Xiaodi to sign the first author. He only listed his name behind Du Xiaodi as his mentor.

This article was just published last month. Du Xiaodi has seen the publication, and the excitement is naturally unspeakable. Although the algorithm in the article was proposed by Feng Xiaochen, Du Xiaodi adjusted it in actual application to make it more suitable for research in the welding major, which is also her innovation. In the later process of computer computing, Du Xiaodi can also see the hard work he put into. Many simulation results do not match reality, and she needs to check whether the hundreds of parameter settings are reasonable. This article was signed by her and can be said to be worthy of its name.

"I would like to ask, was Ms. Du proposed the simulation algorithm about thermal equations in this article by herself?" Maldo did not go around too many times and asked the question directly.

Maldo visited the University of Technology at this time, both accidental and deliberate. He was indeed invited by Huaqing University to visit China. After staying in the hotel, he called some Chinese colleagues and expressed his hope to have time to visit them separately. When contacting Cai Xingquan, he specifically mentioned Du Xiaodi's article because the simulation algorithm proposed in this article is very novel and has attracted some attention in the field of international welding. Maldo just said that he would ask Du Xiaodi for advice, which is not a function word.

According to the time agreed upon by Maldo and Cai Xingquan, he should have come to the University of Technology the day after tomorrow. However, after receiving the news from Yang Zhuoran, Cai Xingquan called Maldo specifically and proposed to change the meeting time to today, and admitted that this was to support Du Xiaodi.

Maldo is not a pedantic person. He naturally would not refuse such a request from his colleagues, let alone Cai Xingquan clearly stated that the student being tested was Du Xiaodi. With Maldo's idea, the level of a student who can propose such a genius algorithm is not questioned. He sighed to Cai Xingquan that the Chinese government is really striving for excellence in scientific research. A first-year graduate student can do such a high-level research and even accept the assessment. This spirit is worth studying in Swedish universities.

Of course, he had another inconvenient idea, which was to see if this article was really written by Du Xiaodi, rather than her falsely claiming other people's achievements. To verify this, we need to directly ask Du Xiaodi about some of the key issues. Scientific research cannot be true, nor can it be true.

"It's so clumsy!"

Gao Lei, who was sitting beside him, laughed in his heart. What kind of paper can a graduate student publish? Maybe he just hangs his name behind his supervisor to make a result? And this Maldo is too exaggerated. In order to support Cai Xingquan, he actually said such words to a graduate student. Don’t he know what it means to be too much or too little?

That's fine. Let everyone see how Cai Xingquan and his gang made a fake to the point. They are so shameless, so I, Gao Lei, cannot blame me for being too ruthless.

Gao Lei suddenly regained his sense of moral superiority.
