Chapter 12 Dean Li's Conversation
Monday morning, the Administrative Building of the School of Astronomical Sciences, the counselor's office.
After a crisp knock on the door, Yuan Shichen came to the desk of Mr. Yi Yi, a freshman counselor at the Astronomy Academy, and said, "Hello, Mr. Yi, I am Yuan Shichen, a major in astrophysics."
"Hello, classmate Wei Chen. Is there anything wrong?" Teacher Yi stopped the work at hand and showed a gentle smile.
"Teacher Yi, I have encountered some difficulties in my studies recently and need your help." Yuan Shichen explained his purpose straightforwardly.
"Oh~" Teacher Yi paused slightly and asked with some surprise, "I have heard of you for a long time. You are the most talented freshmen in our school. Many teachers have praised you, saying that you are both smart and diligent. I also heard that you are the champion of the school's book lending list. I'm very curious. What problem will make our champion students embarrassed?"
In Yuan Shichen's plan, he just wanted to complete his university studies as soon as possible in a low-key manner, but he never thought that his persistence in learning would leave such a deep impression on everyone.
At this moment, he looked at Teacher Yi's curious eyes and just smiled helplessly. This was not the result he wanted.
"It's like this. Maybe my learning progress is too fast, so I encountered a learning bottleneck..." Yuan Shichen carefully said the situation he was facing without reservation.
Listening to Yuan Shichen's remarks, Yi Yi's expression became more and more exciting, and in the end her face looked in disbelief.
"Student Weichen, what do you mean is that you have mastered all the public basic courses of university and have completed most of the professional courses by self-study?" Yi Yi asked uncertainly again.
"It's true, so I need help now and want to hear your suggestions." Yuan Shichen nodded and said confidently.
Looking at Yuan Shichen's confident expression, Teacher Yi also seemed to be even more serious.
"Tsinghua University has indeed seen many talented talents over the years. Most of them are extremely talented, firm and ambitious." Teacher Yi said with a serious face, "They also have amazing learning ability, but they are still far from comparable to what you said!"
After about a minute of silence, Teacher Yi continued: "Student Weichen, I am subjectively willing to believe what you described in your performance over the past half semester, but your situation is too amazing. I need to carefully consider how to help you."
After another five minutes, Teacher Yi looked at Yuan Shichen and said slowly: "If you want to learn more in-depth courses in advance and conduct scientific research, the more feasible way is to graduate early and get into a master's degree from the School of Astronomy. But..."
Tsinghua University promotes a credit system. In theory, you can graduate early by completing your credits and completing your graduation thesis.
However, according to past experience, being able to complete the credits in two years is an achievement that is enough to make people shocked.
But Yuan Naichen wants to complete it within one year, which is undoubtedly unprecedented in the history of Tsinghua University.
"Thank you for your advice. How can I complete all the credits in advance?" Yuan Shichen no matter whether others believe it or not. He felt that as long as there is a passage, it will definitely be achieved.
"I can't tell you this now." Yi Yi sighed and continued, seeing Yuan Shichen's unyielding eyes, "I will report to Dean Li first. After discussion by the Academic Affairs Office of the College, I may give you a satisfactory reply."
"Oh, I'll bother Teacher Yi."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do. I also hope that you can create a new miracle for Tsinghua University. You can go back and wait for my news first."
After saying this, Yi Yi pushed her glasses, tidied up a messy strand of hair behind her ears, and looked at Yuan Shichen's leaving back, her eyes became much gentler.

Three days later, Yuan Shichen received a notice that, given his current situation, Li Huiqun, dean of the School of Astronomy, wanted to talk to him alone.
In the morning at Tsinghua University, the misty rain was hazy, and the raindrops fell to the ground. The teaching buildings, green trees and lawns appeared and appeared, were full of poetry and painting.
In the administrative building of the School of Astronomy, in the dean's office, Dean Li Huiqun and Yuan Shichen were sitting opposite each other.
The office is relatively spacious, with bright windows and neatly arranged. The room is dotted with green plants, but it does not seem extravagant.
A row of bookcases stand against the wall, and there are many books in it. It can be said that books fill the walls and exudes a strong humanistic atmosphere.
Although Dean Li is nearly 60 years old, he is particularly energetic, with a square face and a handsome appearance.
At this moment, he was looking at Yuan Shichen with great interest.
"You are Yuan Shichen. I remember Professor Zhang Tianqi mentioned you to me on the phone a few months ago, and he said you are a rare talent." Although Dean Li is not young, he speaks with great energy.
"Professor Zhang praised it, but the students dare not take it." Facing the top astronomical scientist in China, Yuan Shichen was naturally full of respect.
Dean Li waved his hand and said, "Don't be too humble. Teacher Yi Yi has told me about your situation. If it is true, it means that what Professor Zhang said is true."
"Thank you for your praise. I am just particularly interested in astronomy and universe." Yuan Shichen's words are indeed from the heart.
"Very well, interest is the best teacher. If you want to achieve something in a career, you must love her and then spend your whole life chasing her!" Dean Li said affectionately, "The Academic Affairs Office of the College has discussed your situation. Since you are so confident, there is no reason not to support a student's desire and pursuit of knowledge."
"Thank you the school and all the teachers for their support and help." Hatano Chen finally showed an excited expression.
"However, this matter must be handled in accordance with certain procedures and rules and regulations." Dean Li continued, "The Academic Affairs Office of the College has reported to the school and the school has approved you to take all relevant subject exams during the undergraduate education of Astrophysics University at the end of this semester. If you can pass the high score, you will get the corresponding credits. I hope you will not disappoint everyone."
"I will do my best!" Of course, Harashi Chen knew his abilities, so he answered with great confidence.
Looking at Yuan Shichen's confident expression, Dean Li's face gradually filled with a smile.
"By the way, just passing the professional course exam is not enough. You must also complete your undergraduate thesis and pass the thesis defense. In this way, you can graduate and obtain a bachelor's degree." Dean Li suddenly remembered something and continued, "At the beginning of the next semester, are you interested in choosing my scientific research topic as your graduation thesis?"
"This, this... I'm so willing!" Yuan Shichen, who had always been calm, was unable to suppress his excitement when facing this sudden surprise.
Chapter completed!
