Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

Gong Yu said without looking up, "If they say that it was I who suggested the school to retake the test, it will expose that they were the ones who caused this."

"Then who could it be? Could it be one of the teachers present?"

"No, this kind of thing would have a huge impact on their careers if it got out. Smart people wouldn't do something like that!"

Zhou Min was stunned for a moment after hearing what Teacher Gong said.

If it wasn't Mao Yating's family, or the school's teachers, then wouldn't it be someone from my own dormitory?

Although there are two graduate students present, they are already in graduate school and have little to do with this matter. They probably don't want to cause trouble, otherwise they wouldn't have deliberately moved a broken computer to the office in the first place.

As for the people in his own dormitory, he didn't mention that Jiang Fei was a high school graduate preparing for the college entrance examination and didn't usually have much contact with these students who were recommended for admission.

Plus, she was almost framed last time; if it weren't for Teacher Gong's help, she might have been the one punished. So she probably wouldn't tell anyone.

That leaves Feng Pinling. Zhou Min thought about Feng Pinling's usual character and felt that it was very likely.

Zhou Min couldn't help but grit her teeth in hatred!

Because Zhou Min hadn't spoken, Gong Yu looked up and saw her gritting her teeth.

Gong Yu sighed softly and said, "Don't overthink it. The police will handle this. Just focus on your studies!"

Zhou Min opened her mouth, preparing to continue talking to Teacher Gong about Feng Pinling's situation.

Teacher Gong interrupted directly, saying, "Don't focus on these irrelevant things; people's energy is limited."

Teacher Gong paused for a moment, then continued, "Go back first today. I'll be discharged tomorrow, so don't come over. Go back and work on improving your algorithm module; it's a bit weak there."

Seeing the determination in Teacher Gong's eyes, Zhou Min could only walk out of the ward dejectedly.

After leaving the hospital, Zhou Min looked back at the hospital building and thought to herself: Teacher Gong is right, my energy and mind are still too scattered.

How can one conduct scientific research with such a restless mindset?

Zhou Min composed herself and decided that she needed to focus more on her studies once she got back.

After returning home, Zhou Min made a new study plan for herself. She felt that since she wanted to pursue a career in scientific research in the future, she should focus all her energy on learning professional knowledge.

Zhou Min went to the school's academic affairs office website and downloaded the school's training plan for her major.

Zhou Min then searched online for the books she hadn't received for her major courses in her second and third years of university.

Because e-commerce is not yet well-developed, there is very little information available online. Zhou Min simply rode her electric bike to the secondhand bookstore behind the school and picked out some books.

These secondhand bookstores may look run-down, but they have a lot of great stuff inside.

Basically, every year, graduating students sell the books they can't take with them to these bookstores.

Therefore, these bookstores have second-hand books for various majors in schools, and most of the professional books are 80-90% new.

As expected, as soon as Zhou Min explained her purpose, the boss enthusiastically picked out a whole bunch of things for her, including many graduate textbooks.

Because Zhou Min bought a lot, the shop owner simply gave her a discount, selling it to her for 10 yuan a piece.

Although it looks cheap, the owner has already made a lot of money.

In her previous life, when Zhou Min was a senior in college, she also sold a lot of books, selling most of her books from her four years of college for 5 cents a pound.

Zhou Min remembers that a whole sack full of books ended up not even selling for 50 yuan.

Knowledge is like this: it's expensive to buy, but if you don't find the right way to sell it, it can be incredibly cheap.

Zhou Min handed the shop owner 430 yuan, and the shop owner kindly gave Zhou Min a sturdy big bag.

After Zhou Min took the book back, she began to study diligently.

The May Day holiday ended in the blink of an eye, and the students returned to school from their homes.

Zhou Min looked at Teacher Gong, who was calmly teaching them in the classroom, and could not tell at all that his right hand had been injured by a knife a week ago.

Zhang Kun visited Zhou Min several times, and seeing how diligently she studied, he felt a sense of crisis and went back to focus on his studies as well.

Zhou Min shuttled between her dormitory and classroom every day, and before she knew it, exam week had arrived again.

Perhaps because of the lessons learned last semester, the academic atmosphere at school was noticeably stronger during exam week this semester.

Unlike last semester, Zhou Min did not devote her energy to reviewing.

Instead, she continues to learn new knowledge. Zhou Min has now calmed down and is confident that she has learned a solid foundation in the knowledge she has acquired this semester. There is no need to spend all her time on these few courses in pursuit of high scores.

When Zhou Min finally finished her last exam and walked out of the exam room, she found Zhang Kun standing in front of her, motionless.

When Zhou Min went left, he went left too; when Zhou Min went right, he went right too.

Zhou Min simply stopped moving and stood there, staring at Zhang Kun without moving. She wanted to see what Zhang Kun was up to!

"Come with me!" Zhang Kun said, and then walked forward first.

Zhou Min followed Zhang Kun to a seat at the back of the teaching building.

After the two sat down, Zhang Kun began rummaging through his backpack.

It's already July. Because the computer science exams this semester were scheduled relatively late, students from other majors have already gone home. So there aren't many people on campus.

Sitting in the shade of the teaching building, watching the students occasionally pass by on the road, Zhou Min finally relaxed, which was a rare treat.

Unfortunately, before Zhou Min could relax for long, Zhang Kun handed her a book.

Zhou Min glanced at the book cover; it was a heavyweight journal in the field of computer science.

Zhou Min picked it up and flipped through it, puzzled.

Before Zhou Min could figure anything out, Zhang Kun impatiently asked, "You really haven't helped Teacher Gong or done any other work before?"

Zhou Min looked over in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Kun reached out and took the book, flipped through a few pages, and then handed it to Zhou Min.

Seeing Zhou Min's puzzled look, Zhang Kun said, "Take a look at these pages."

Zhou Min glanced at the title of the article and was stunned. Wasn't this the article on graphical programming that she had translated for Teacher Gong last time?

Zhou Min looked down at the article again, and sure enough, it was the one she had translated last time.

Seeing that Zhou Min was about to turn the page but hadn't seen the important part yet, Zhang Kun couldn't help but reach out and snatch the book back.

"What are you looking at? You translated this book, it's not like you haven't read it before!"

As Zhang Kun spoke, he heavily crossed out the author field below the article title.

Zhou Min was taken aback by Zhang Kun's actions. What did he mean? Did the author still need to read it? Could it be that Teacher Gong's book had been plagiarized?

Thinking of this, Zhou Min looked over carefully and saw that there was another name after Teacher Gong's name.

Zhou Min stared in shock, her eyes wide. That name was actually hers!

Although I did translate the entire text for Professor Gong, it took me almost a week.

However, this amount of work is completely insignificant compared to the value of Professor Gong's article.

Many graduate students work diligently with their advisors for a year, only to fail to obtain the status of second author on a paper.

She accomplished this effortlessly simply by translating, which was hard for even Zhou Min herself to believe, let alone Zhang Kun.
