Chapter 754

Professor Leo is a professor who grew up according to the stereotype of American professors.

His hair is disheveled, like Einstein, the most familiar scholar style in the United States. Unfortunately, few professors except Einstein have disheveled hair. If you have trouble taking care of your hair, you can shave it short, let alone many professors with sparse hair.

In addition to his slovenness, Professor Leo's figure is also growing according to the American requirements for scholars. He is slender, not very tall, but very thin. His voice is also thin and long, not sharp, but it makes people feel neurotic.

In addition, Professor Leo is not good at making eye contact with others, even the sincere eyes of salesmen. He will deliberately avoid other people's eyes, or simply bow his head and talk without looking at each other.

Every time I see Professor Leo, corbert doesn't believe that he is the famous mean Professor, but in the middle of every conversation, corbert will believe it.

However, compared with other well-known professors, the University of Chicago's tenured professor has a quality that ordinary people can't match. At the same time, he is also one of the qualities that people think of as a professor. He is highly efficient.

For the same unpublished book, it may take ten days and a half months for other professors at the University of Chicago to finish it, but for Professor Leo, he will give an evaluation in two days at most.

Of course, the evaluation he gave was so terrible that the publishing house didn't want to see it.

Unfortunately, Professor Leo's evaluation can often be recognized by the academic community. Sometimes, Professor Leo even publishes papers based on it. The academic monographs that Professor Leo has the honor to value often sell very well, and they can be selected by universities all over the country almost instantly. It's not difficult to sell more than ten thousand books.

In spite of such advantages, under normal circumstances, Colbert is not willing to come to the poisonous tongue professor to take a chance.

Now it is a very special situation.

Cowbert nervously handed over the white book printed with genomics to Professor Leo, saying: "this is a biological work that our publishing house is going to publish recently. The author is..."

"Isn't there a name on the cover? You don't have to say any more. I see. You're Norton publishing, right? Just come back to me in two days. " Leo lowered his head, as if looking shyly at his toes, but he was not polite at all.

"My contact information is written on the cover inside. If you have any questions, just ask me." Colbert bent down and couldn't see Professor Leo's eyes.

"I see. You go quickly." Leo still looked down at his toes.

"OK, I'll see you in your office the day after tomorrow..."

"Go, go." Leo's attitude is absolutely unfriendly, and his expression and action are shy.

What else did Colbert want to say? Colvin forced him away.

Colbert looked back at Leo from shyness to holding his head high until he was stopped by a student.

"Students who don't want to die." "If I study here, I will stay away from him. If this guy is a truck driver, he must be a serial killer. Now he is a biology professor. Maybe he will become a big cult leader or something," Colvin said

"How can he be a cult leader like this?" As soon as corbert's voice fell, the students in front of Leo cheered.

Several students around Professor Leo, cheering loudly, attracted more students, one by one happy smile, including a few young beautiful blonde, as for Professor Leo himself, is still shy head down, looking at the tip of the foot.

"This guy... What's on the mind of college students now? Cheer around this guy. " It's hard for Colbert to understand.

"We're not going to kiss his ass yet." Colvin shrugged and said, "go and visit some professors while it's still early."

As he spoke, he chose from the list the addresses of several professors who had not visited successfully before.

The University of Chicago has a huge scale, heavy work for professors, and there will always be lifelong professors that you are too busy to see.

Compared with Ivy League university, the University of Chicago, which is also a private university, is not well-known in China, but its strength is beyond doubt. There are 91 Nobel laureates studying or working in the University of Chicago, and four of them are related to the Chinese Nobel Prize. Yang Zhenning, Li Zhengdao, and Cui Qi all got PhD in physics at the University of Chicago. Li Yuanzhe, a Taiwanese, completed his career promotion from assistant professor to professor at the University of Chicago. Later, he went to Berkeley, California, and became an American citizen. After winning the Nobel Prize in chemistry, he gave up his American nationality and became the president of Academia Sinica in Taiwan.At the same time, the University of Chicago Press is also one of the three largest university presses in the United States. Therefore, Colvin cobert is very careful. When he chooses professors to visit, he also deliberately looks for those professors who are not closely related to the University of Chicago Press.

But, as they have before, few professors are willing to spend time reading a new book.

After a busy day, Colvin Colbert sat down at the fast food restaurant with nothing.

"Take a day off tomorrow. The salad here is terrible." Colvin chews like a cow.

"You want to wait for Professor Leo's conclusion?" Cobert gulped at his hamburger and looked at Colvin's salad.

"Of course. Many people like to read Professor Leo's comments. Now we're looking for other professors to read books. When they finish reading, Leo's comments have already come out. It's better to wait until we get Leo's comments and give them to others. "

"What if Leo's evaluation is bad."

"No matter how bad the evaluation is, there's something to see. If there isn't, it's Daniel's problem." "Leo is a celebrity at the University of Chicago, and professors believe in his judgment, so if something goes wrong, it's Daniel's fault, not ours," Colvin said

"Well, take a day off until we get Leo's evaluation. I hope it's not too ugly... Waiter, I'd like a hamburger, more cheese and another cup of coffee. " Cobert patted his stomach, tested the capacity, changed the requirements and said: "two hamburgers, more ketchup, I want to eat vegetables, healthy diet..."

"Two more hamburgers and more ketchup." The waiter repeated.

"And cheese, more cheese."

"Do you want more cheese or ketchup?"

"More cheese and more ketchup. Oh, more peanut butter. I like peanut butter." Colbert emphasized.

The waiter said, "Sir, that's a hamburger, not a truck."

"Well, more cheese." "It's time for us to change shop," Colbert said, disappointed

"You say that every time." Colvin ignored Colbert.

After a while, the waiter brought the hamburger and asked, "which one of you is cobert? A professor Leo left a message

"Professor Leo of the University of Chicago?" Cobert doesn't care about hamburgers.

"I don't know. He left a message. Do you want to listen?" The waiter looked at him with a blank look.

"Of course."

"Come to my office at once." The waiter said and left.

Corbert held her. "That's it?"

"That's it."

"How did he know we were here?"

The waiter shrugged and said, "I don't care at all." then he left with his tail wagging.

"Cobert, put down your hamburger. We need to get there quickly." Corwin wiped his mouth, stood up and urged: "Leo must know that we are here through the University of Chicago Press, because all the press people are eating here, and Leo is looking for us. The University of Chicago Press people must want to know why."

"Why?" Colbert hesitated between the two hamburgers.

"Why do you say that?" Colvin said

"Chinese books?"

"Nonsense." Colvin dropped a few green bills and dragged Colbert away.

……

In Professor Leo's office, Leo is sitting on the globe, circling wildly.

When he is excited, when he is depressed, and when he is busy, he likes to sit on the globe. For this reason, the University of Chicago specially made a strong and huge globe for him, which is enough to support a strong professor to hold a petite professor on it.

Although he has never used the globe to its maximum efficiency, Professor Leo likes it. He stays in school 18 hours a day because of it.

At this time, Professor Leo holding a thick white copy, while reading, kept nodding: "that's it, just like I thought, that's right..."
