Chapter seven hundred and thirty fourth eager

Professor Leo is a professor who grew up according to the beauty's stereotype about the professor.

His hair was chaotic, like Einstein, the most familiar scholarly style among Americans, but it was pitiful that apart from Einstein, few professors had chaotic hair. If you have trouble taking care of your hair, you'll shaved your hair, let alone many professors have sparse hair.

In addition to being unkempt, Professor Leo's body shape also grew according to the requirements of Americans for scholars. He is slender, not particularly tall, but very thin. His voice is also thin, not sharp, but it inevitably makes people feel nervous.

In addition, Professor Leo is also not good at eye contact with others. Even salesmen have sincere eyes. He will deliberately avoid other people's eyes, or simply lower his head and speak without looking at each other.

Every time I see Professor Leo, Cobert doesn't believe that this is a famous mean professor, but every time the conversation is halfway through, Cobert will believe it.

However, compared with other well-known professors, this tenured professor at the University of Chicago has a quality that is not as good as ordinary people. At the same time, it is also one of the professor's qualities that people think of, and he has extremely high work efficiency.

The same unpublished book is handed over to other professors at the University of Chicago. It may take ten or half a month to finish it, but to leave it to Professor Leo, he will give an evaluation at most two days.

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

What is helpless is that Professor Leo's evaluation is often recognized by the academic community. Sometimes, Professor Leo even publishes papers based on it. The academic monographs that are fortunate to be valued by Professor Leo are often sold very well and can be selected by universities across the country in an instant, and the sales volume exceeds 10,000 yuan.

Despite such good news, under normal circumstances, Cobert was unwilling to come to this venomous professor to try his luck.

But now it is an extraordinary situation.

Cobert nervously handed the white book with "Genomics" to Professor Leo, saying: "This is a recently prepared biology work by our publisher, and the author is..."

"Don't there be a name on the cover? You don't need to say it again. I know, are you Norton Press? Just come to me again in two days." Leo lowered his head, as if he was looking at his toes shyly, but he was not polite at all.

"My contact information is written on the cover inside. Just contact me if you have any questions." Cobert bent down and couldn't see Professor Leo's eyes.

"I understand, you go quickly." Leo still lowered his head to look at his toes.

"Okay, then I'll come to your office the day after tomorrow to find you..."

"Go quickly and go quickly." Leo's attitude was absolutely unfriendly, and his expression and movements were shy.

What else Cobert wanted to say was forced to be taken away by Colwin.

Cobert looked back and looked at Leo from shyness to holding his head up until he was stopped by a student again.

"A life-deserving student," said Colwin. "If I study here, I will definitely stay away from him. If this guy is a truck driver, he must be a serial killer. He is now a professor of biology. If he doesn't want to be a big cult leader or something."

"How can he be the leader of a cult like this?" As soon as Cobert finished speaking, the student in front of Leo cheered.

Several students gathered around Professor Leo and cheered loudly, attracting more students, and smiled happily, including a few young and beautiful blonde girls. As for Professor Leo himself, he still lowered his head shyly and looked at his toes.

"This guy... what are the college students thinking in their minds now? What are they cheering around this guy?" Cobert couldn't understand.

"We're going to kiss his ass yet," Colwin shrugged and said, "Before the time is still early, go and visit a few more professors."

While he spoke, he selected several professors from the list who had not visited successfully before.

The University of Chicago is huge and the professors have heavy workloads. There are always tenured professors you are so busy that you can't meet.

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 unquestionable. 91 Nobel Prize winners studied or worked at the University of Chicago, and 4 of them were Chinese-American Nobel Prizes related to it. Yang Zhenning, Li Zhengdao, and Cui Qi both received Physics PHD from the University of Chicago. Taiwanese Li Yuanzhe completed the career promotion from assistant professor to professor at the University of Chicago. He later 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 dean of the Taiwan Institute of Central Research.

At the same time, the University of Chicago Press is also one of the three largest university publishers in the United States. Colewin and Cobert were cautious and when they chose to visit the professors, they also looked for professors who were not closely related to the University of Chicago Press.

However, just like the situation they encountered before, few professors were willing to take the time to read a new book.

After a busy day, Colewin and Cobert got nothing to sit in the fast food restaurant.

"I'll have a day off tomorrow, the salad here is so unpalatable." Colwin chewed like a cow.

"Do you want to wait for Professor Leo's conclusion to come out?" Cobert ate the burger in big mouthfuls, and looked at Colwin's salad in disgust.

"Of course. Many people like to read Professor Leo's evaluation. We are looking for other professors to read books now. When they finish reading, Leo's evaluation has already come out. Why not wait until Leo's evaluation is obtained and give it to others together."

"What if Leo's review is bad."

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

"Okay, I'll take a day off and wait until we get Leo's review. Hope it's not too ugly... The waiter, I'll ask for a burger, a little more cheese, and add a cup of coffee for me." Cobert patted his stomach, tested the capacity, and changed the requirements and said: "Two burgers are ready, add more ketchup, I want to eat some vegetables, eat healthy..."

"Add two more burgers and add more tomato sauce." The waiter repeated.

"There are also cheeses, add more cheese."

"Do you want to put more cheese or tomato sauce?"

"Put more % crumbs and more tomato sauce, oh, add more peanut butter, I like peanut butter." Cobert solemnly emphasized.

The waiter curled his lips: "Sir, that's just a burger, not a truck."

"Okay, put more cheese." Cobert was disappointed and said, "It's time for us to change the store."

"You say that every time." Colewinli ignored Cobert.

The waiter brought the burger over for a while and asked, "Who is Cobert? A professor Leo left a message."

"Professor Leo from the University of Chicago?" Cobert couldn't care about the burger.

"I don't know, he left something, do you want to listen?" The waiter looked at him hunchedly.

"certainly."

"Come to my office right away." The waiter left after saying that.

Cobert grabbed her: "That's it?"

"that's all."

"How did he know we're here?"

The waiter shrugged and said, "I don't care at all." He left with his tail swinged.

"Corbert, put down your burger and we're going to go quickly." Colewin wiping his mouth and stood up, urging: "Leo must have known that we are here through the people of the University of Chicago Press, because all the people of the publishing house are eating here, and Leo is looking for us, and the people of the University of Chicago Press must want to know why."

"Why?" Cobert was still hesitating between the two burgers.

Colwin said angrily: "Why do you think?"

"Chinese books?"

"Nonsense." Colwin dropped a few green notes, pulled Cobert and left.

...

In Professor Leo's office, Leo sat on the globe, spinning around in a crazy circle.

When he was excited, when he was depressed, when he was busy, he liked to sit on the globe. The University of Chicago specially made a solid and huge globe for him, enough to support a strong professor and carry a petite professor on it.

Although he has never played the maximum effect of a globe, Professor Leo likes this globe. He stays in school for 18 hours a day because of this globe.

At this moment, Professor Leo held the thick white copy and nodded while reading: "It's like this, just like what I thought, it's true..."
