Chapter 252

Bizzy is telling the truth.

They do have a dinner tonight.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan took a taxi to a Yanjing specialty restaurant near Yanda.

In the private room of the restaurant, Gu Lu and Wang Genji had already arrived one step ahead.

"Sorry, sorry, something happened, I'm late." Bi Qi said apologetically.

Gu Lu smiled nonchalantly and pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down."

This dinner is a celebration banquet for the research team.

After a few days, everyone in the research team gathered together again.

First, each person poured a glass of wine and raised their glasses to cheers!

Then, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Lu.

Gu Lu smiled slightly and took a sip of wine, "Macron, the editor-in-chief of "New Advances in Mathematics" told me some time ago that our paper titled "Proof of Bab Conjecture" has been officially included in "New Advances in Mathematics"!"

"oh!!!"

Bi Qi and the three of them laughed and applauded in unison.

Although the three of them knew that they played a minimal role in the proof of Bab's conjecture.

But at least, the three of them are lucky enough to be able to participate in a project that will be remembered in history, which already makes Bi Qi and others very satisfied.

This is a resume that would be the envy of a large group of doctoral students.

The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became lively.

After several toasts, everyone was a little tipsy.

Gu Lu took out three bulging envelopes from his briefcase and handed them to Bi Qi, Ma Zhengxuan, and Wang Genji, one each.

"Teacher, what is this?" Bi Qi took the envelope and said doubtfully.

Ma Zhengxuan and Wang Genjie both looked at Gu Lu with puzzled expressions.

"Your salary." Gu Lu replied with a smile.

salary?!

The three of them looked at the bulging envelopes in their hands, all looking stunned.

Having said that, Gu Lu and Bi Qi are in an employer-employee relationship, so it is appropriate to pay labor fees.

Gu Lu couldn't hold on to his identity as a teacher and let Bi Qi and the others work for him for free.

But the key is...

This salary is really too much!

Wang Genji subconsciously shook the weight of the envelope in his hand and secretly clicked his tongue.

Different from Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan.

It is the first time for Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan to join the research team, and it is also the first time to receive the salary of the research team.

But Wang Genji is different.

As a doctoral student, Wang Genji has joined many project groups before.

There is still a general idea about the labor fees paid to researchers by the research team.

For doctoral students, under normal circumstances, they can receive an average monthly salary of about 3,000 yuan, which is in addition to the doctoral student allowance provided by the state.

As for master's degree students, it's even worse. They only pay more than 2,000 yuan a month, which is barely enough for living expenses.

And undergraduates…

In most cases, undergraduate students are not paid.

It would be good if the teachers of the research group could treat me to a few meals.

The highest salary Wang Genji ever received was more than 5,000 a month.

Wang Genji stayed in Gu Lu’s research group for less than five months.

Wang Gen basically thought that he could get about 20,000 yuan.

But obviously, the weight of the envelope in my hand clearly does not seem to be only 20,000 yuan.

The first one to open the envelope was classmate Bi Qi.

It must be said that this is the first real salary that Bi Qi has received, and it is inevitable to be excited.

Bi Qi opened the envelope, took out the thick pile of money, and counted them one by one as if they were treasures.

Classmate Bi Qi is not short of money.

But the feeling of reaping the rewards of hard work made Bi Qi extremely excited.

"Twenty thousand...twenty-five thousand!" Half a minute later, Bi Qi swallowed hard and spit out a number.

"I also have twenty-five thousand here." It was Ma Zhengxuan who spoke.

Although Ma Zhengxuan's tone was much calmer than Bi Qi's, the deep shock in his eyes was enough to prove that Ma Zhengxuan's heart was also filled with turmoil.

"Senior Genji, where's yours?" Bi Qi looked at Wang Genji who seemed to be stunned.

Wang Genji turned his head, his eyes fell on Gu Lu with mixed emotions, and he smiled bitterly and said a number, "Fifty thousand!"

Fifty thousand, five months.

On average, Wang Genji's salary is 10,000 yuan a month.

This is a salary that most doctoral students may not be able to get after graduation.

Bi Qi didn't feel dissatisfied at all when he heard that Wang Genji's salary was twice that of his own.

After all, in the research project some time ago, Wang Genji completed almost as much work as he and Ma Zhengxuan combined.

On Wang Genji's side, after hesitating for a few seconds, he pushed the envelope in front of Gu Lu and said, "Teacher, this is too much money, I can't take it!"

Wang Genji did not enjoy such a high salary, but he was not rewarded for his merits.

Wang Genji clearly knew that his performance in the research on this topic in the past five months was not enough to receive such a high salary.

Gu Lu shook his head, pushed the envelope back to Wang Genji, and said in an unquestionable tone, "If you are asked to take it, take it. You deserve it!"

"But, this is too much! Like Bi Qi and Zhengxuan, I can just take half." Wang Genji looked hesitant.

This money made Wang Genji very excited, but a gentleman loves money and gets it wisely, so Wang Genji still chose to refuse.

Gu Lu shook his head and sighed.

If I don't explain it clearly today, Wang Genji probably won't accept the money.

So Gu Lu explained helplessly, "Baijia, you probably don't know much about the scientific research funding situation of our research group."

"As for the project of proving Bab's conjecture, it was included in this year's list of outstanding youth funds and received a lot of scientific research funds. You also know that our mathematics discipline spends very little money on scientific research, and the current scientific research funds are still there.

There is a lot left, so just take this money with peace of mind."

Gu Lu told the truth.

The scientific research funding of 300,000 yuan, after deducting the salaries of Bi Qi and the three of them totaling 100,000 yuan, as well as a series of expenses such as renting an office and buying equipment, there is still more than 100,000 yuan left.

If it weren't for the above-mentioned clear regulations on the expenditure on labor expenses in scientific research funds, the salaries of Bi Qi and the others would have increased even more.

Wang Genji wanted to say something else, but when he looked at Gu Lu, he hesitated and accepted the salary.

At the same time, Wang Genji secretly sighed inwardly at Gu Lu's generosity.

In fact, Gu Lu could not pay such high wages to the three of them, but regard the money as his own income.

In this way, others can't say anything.

But Gu Lu didn't do that.

Instead, he gave the money to them very generously.

Needless to say, Bi Qi and Ma Zhengxuan each received 25,000 yuan.

You know, in most project teams, undergraduates like Ma Zhengxuan and Bi Qi are not paid a dime in salary.

But at the same time, Wang Genji still felt a little regretful.

Wang Genji has his own doctoral supervisor.

At present, the project has ended, which means that Wang Genji will return to his doctoral supervisor.
Chapter completed!
