Downstairs in Princeton's dormitory.
A silver-white car appeared around the corner, its lights flashed and then stopped at the front door.
Professor Krugman asked curiously: "Have you lived there for a month? But I remember that you studied for your undergraduate degree at Jinling University and your master's degree at Oxford University... Are you an exchange student?"
"I have read your graduation thesis carefully many times, and it is very well written. Although there are some flaws in the theoretical part, it is not easy to write such a thesis at your age, even at a school like Princeton. In this place, such talent is rare.”
When she thought that she had to spend more than twenty hours in the sky, Xiaotong suddenly felt bad...
"Lu Xiaotong, right? Come with me."
When he was studying at Princeton, he had been taken care of by Lu Zhou. Now it was finally his turn to repay his mentor's kindness. At least in his opinion, this little thing is nothing, it is all what he should do.
She was a little surprised when she opened the email. She was originally prepared to report to her mentor in two days, but she didn't expect to receive a reply in less than an hour.
A silver-white car appeared around the corner, its lights flashed and then stopped at the front door.
Xiaotong: "I went there with my tutor... but I haven't published any articles on it."
"No, I can do this little thing myself."
"...Nice to meet you, Lu Xiaotong."
Is this some kind of special welcome ceremony at Princeton
Reaching out and turning the car key, Qin Yue, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced to the side and said.
"If I were still here, it would be great if I could make friends with her... But speaking of it, she probably doesn't even know me anymore, right? After all, it's been so many years."
He didn't insist on helping. Qin Yue nodded: "Okay, then I won't bother you. If you need help with anything, please tell me."
"Walk slowly."
Xiaotong said sheepishly: "Not yet..."
"arrive."
The exhaustion of running all the way gradually hit my brain, and soon there was only the sound of steady breathing in the room.
She still vaguely remembered that her brother, who was a professor at Princeton at the time, also had a cute-looking, soft-spoken assistant who was probably not much older than her.
A silver-white car appeared around the corner, its lights flashed and then stopped at the front door.
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
Just when Weisl was about to introduce other people in the office to the new student, the door of the office opened again, and Professor Krugman, who had gone out to make a phone call, came back with a smile on his face.
The exhaustion of running all the way gradually hit my brain, and soon there was only the sound of steady breathing in the room.
After unbuckling her seat belt, Xiaotong politely thanked her and said, "Thank you for coming to pick me up."
"Oh," Professor Krugman had a look of surprise on his face, and then he smiled heartily, "Then it seems I don't have to worry about you getting lost on campus. Many students who come here for the first time will encounter you. With this kind of confusion, there is no clear boundary between the town and the school here. It is easy to stroll around and you are actually far away from the school... Weisier, you can take this newcomer to get familiar with the work here. I Suddenly I have a call to answer, so I’ll leave it to you first.”
And this guy...
Qin Yue smiled and said casually: "You're welcome, do you need me to help you send your luggage up?"
The exhaustion of running all the way gradually hit my brain, and soon there was only the sound of steady breathing in the room.
Looking at the calendar on her phone that had opened to a new page, Xiaotong went to the bathroom to wash up, then turned on her computer and sent an email to her future mentor, Professor Krugman.
When he was studying at Princeton, he had been taken care of by Lu Zhou. Now it was finally his turn to repay his mentor's kindness. At least in his opinion, this little thing is nothing, it is all what he should do.
Unfortunately, her former tutor, Professor Foster, was not a particularly well-known expert in the field of macroeconomics, and most of the opportunities provided to her were not in academia, but the same as those of her senior brothers and sisters. Mainly focusing on internships at major investment banks.
"Oh," Professor Krugman had a look of surprise on his face, and then he smiled heartily, "Then it seems I don't have to worry about you getting lost on campus. Many students who come here for the first time will encounter you. With this kind of confusion, there is no clear boundary between the town and the school here.

I Suddenly I have a call to answer, so I’ll leave it to you first.”
However, there is only one thing that Xiaotong and her brother are very similar to, and that is that they are unwilling to trouble others with their own affairs. Therefore, after hearing Qin Yue's offer to help carry the luggage, Xiaotong declined politely without even thinking about it.
Qin Yue smiled and said casually: "You're welcome, do you need me to help you send your luggage up?"
The content of the email is very short and can be summarized simply in a few sentences. The general meaning is that she is welcome to choose Princeton. If she is ready to start her doctoral career, she can report to his office at any time.
"No, I can do this little thing myself."
Not minding at all that Xiaotong had no previous experience in participating in conferences, Professor Krugman's eyes lit up, he smiled and clapped his hands as if he had come up with a brilliant idea, and continued: "There will be a conference over there in Shanghai next week. An exchange conference in the field of macroeconomics. Participating in the top conference is an important academic qualification. Even if you don’t publish an article on it, it will be very rewarding for you to listen to it. There are also some academic conferences for young scholars, PHD, and master’s students. Award, if you have no experience participating in top conferences before, just come with me to see the world."
Professor Krugman asked curiously: "Have you lived there for a month? But I remember that you studied for your undergraduate degree at Jinling University and your master's degree at Oxford University... Are you an exchange student?"
Hearing that she had unintentionally caused such a big trouble to others, Xiaotong suddenly said with embarrassment: "Please tell me if you have such a thing in the future, I can just do it myself."
And this guy...
With her fairly good memory and without much effort, she quickly found the office of her mentor, Professor Krugman, in the School of Economics.
Thinking about her future campus life, she slept particularly peacefully. It wasn't until six or seven o'clock the next morning that she yawned and climbed out of bed...
As a Nobel Prize-level scholar and a master of macroeconomics who once created an era, Professor Krugman usually attends conferences and rarely takes students with him unless they are students he particularly values or this one. The student happened to be presenting at the conference.

He didn't insist on helping. Qin Yue nodded: "Okay, then I won't bother you. If you need help with anything, please tell me."
So, after writing down the address, Xiaotong hurriedly finished her breakfast, simply put away the tableware, changed into fresh and clean clothes, and went out.
And this guy...
The exhaustion of running all the way gradually hit my brain, and soon there was only the sound of steady breathing in the room.
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
Although I have seriously considered whether I should wait for two days to settle down in my life before reporting, but considering that I have completed the enrollment registration, it is better to meet with the tutor as soon as possible, and at the same time leave a positive message to the tutor. impression.

Why haven't I heard anything from my brother at all...
Krugman touched his beard and asked thoughtfully: "Is this a top-level meeting?"
With her fairly good memory and without much effort, she quickly found the office of her mentor, Professor Krugman, in the School of Economics.
"Walk slowly."
"Haven't you been there? That's perfect!"
Hearing that she had unintentionally caused such a big trouble to others, Xiaotong suddenly said with embarrassment: "Please tell me if you have such a thing in the future, I can just do it myself."
Professor Krugman asked curiously: "Have you lived there for a month? But I remember that you studied for your undergraduate degree at Jinling University and your master's degree at Oxford University... Are you an exchange student?"
When he was studying at Princeton, he had been taken care of by Lu Zhou. Now it was finally his turn to repay his mentor's kindness. At least in his opinion, this little thing is nothing, it is all what he should do.
After saying goodbye to this old man’s former student, Professor Qin, who now teaches at Princeton, Xiaotong first went to the dormitory to get the key, and then stepped on the stairs briskly, carrying the undressed Suitcases with lots of stuff went upstairs.
Downstairs in Princeton's dormitory.
"The call is over! Leave this to me, Weasel, you can go do your own thing first."
"... I have lived here for a month before, and this is not my first time studying abroad. Anyway, I am quite used to it."
She applied for this student apartment online. It is fully furnished and she can move in with just her bags.
However, there is only one thing that Xiaotong and her brother are very similar to, and that is that they are unwilling to trouble others with their own affairs. Therefore, after hearing Qin Yue's offer to help carry the luggage, Xiaotong declined politely without even thinking about it.
Just when Weisl was about to introduce other people in the office to the new student, the door of the office opened again, and Professor Krugman, who had gone out to make a phone call, came back with a smile on his face.
Weisier nodded, and then took Xiaotong to an empty desk by the window of the office, "From now on, this is where you will work and study. If there is anything you don't understand, You can ask me, or you can ask Professor Krugman directly... or other people in the office, and we will try our best to help you, but in most cases you still have to rely on yourself."
"Uh, it doesn't count... Visiting relatives overseas?" She didn't expect her instructor to investigate her so clearly. Xiaotong didn't know whether she should be flattered or surprised.
When he was studying at Princeton, he had been taken care of by Lu Zhou. Now it was finally his turn to repay his mentor's kindness. At least in his opinion, this little thing is nothing, it is all what he should do.
After checking into the room, Xiaotong spent about two hours simply cleaning up the room, and then took her information to Nassau Hall, which is the administrative building of Princeton, not far from here, to apply for the application. Completed the admission procedures.
Downstairs in Princeton's dormitory.
After almost a whole day of flying and driving all the way, I was finally able to lie down on a decent bed and have a good sleep.
In fact, she is not unfamiliar with Princeton. It can even be said that she is relatively familiar with it.
Almost at the moment these words were spoken.
Professor Krugman asked curiously: "Have you lived there for a month? But I remember that you studied for your undergraduate degree at Jinling University and your master's degree at Oxford University... Are you an exchange student?"
"Uh, it doesn't count... Visiting relatives overseas?" She didn't expect her instructor to investigate her so clearly. Xiaotong didn't know whether she should be flattered or surprised.
Several years ago, probably during the summer vacation after she had just finished her college entrance examination, she lived here for two months and did not go back until the end of the summer vacation when she reported to Jinda University.
Not minding at all that Xiaotong had no previous experience in participating in conferences, Professor Krugman's eyes lit up, he smiled and clapped his hands as if he had come up with a brilliant idea, and continued: "There will be a conference over there in Shanghai next week.

Why haven't I heard anything from my brother at all...
So, after writing down the address, Xiaotong hurriedly finished her breakfast, simply put away the tableware, changed into fresh and clean clothes, and went out.
"It's okay, such a small thing is nothing to worry about," Weasel waved his hand casually and said casually, "Let me introduce you to the other people in the office first."
She still vaguely remembered that her brother, who was a professor at Princeton at the time, also had a cute-looking, soft-spoken assistant who was probably not much older than her.

But because the little assistant was too afraid of strangers, she tried to take the initiative several times but failed to establish a deep friendship with her.

It’s so enviable!
Xiaotong, who returned to the apartment after completing the enrollment procedures, leaned on the soft bed and stretched out comfortably.
Several years ago, probably during the summer vacation after she had just finished her college entrance examination, she lived here for two months and did not go back until the end of the summer vacation when she reported to Jinda University.
"Uh... Okay," he was a little surprised. What was wrong with his boss today? He was as enthusiastic as Santa Claus to a new student early in the morning. But Weasel didn't dare to ask more, just nodded and said The newcomer said, "Then I'll deal with the thesis first... I'll introduce it to you later."

Xiaotong: "I went there with my tutor... but I haven't published any articles on it."
Xiaotong: "...Thank you."
Xiaotong nodded to this senior brother in a daze, and then looked at Professor Krugman with a warm smile on his face, a question mark on his face, and he didn't quite understand the situation.
It has been less than a day since the report, and even less than an hour since I walked into this office, and I have been treated like a "VIP"...
Qin Yue smiled and said casually: "You're welcome, do you need me to help you send your luggage up?"
The exhaustion of running all the way gradually hit my brain, and soon there was only the sound of steady breathing in the room.

"Welcome to Princeton! Classmate Xiaotong from China, are you still used to life here?"
Almost as soon as she prepared breakfast for herself, a reply flew into her mailbox.

The content of the email is very short and can be summarized simply in a few sentences. The general meaning is that she is welcome to choose Princeton. If she is ready to start her doctoral career, she can report to his office at any time.
She jumped back half a step like a frightened little rabbit. After confirming that the face was consistent with Professor Krugman in the photo, she calmed down and coughed lightly.

"Okay, professor." A thin doctoral student with some freckles on his face came over, pushed up the thick-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at Xiaotong, who was slightly embarrassed, and stretched out his right hand. , "Weasel, I'm studying for a Ph.D., nice to meet you."
"No, I can do this little thing myself."
The exhaustion of running all the way gradually hit my brain, and soon there was only the sound of steady breathing in the room.

"It doesn't matter! It's just that you have learned a lot in the past, so you don't need to prepare." Professor Krugman interrupted Xiaotong without hesitation and continued, "One day you will have to publish an article at such a top conference. Now Getting familiar with it, even just familiarizing yourself with the meeting process, will be of great help to your future academic career!”
"... I have lived here for a month before, and this is not my first time studying abroad. Anyway, I am quite used to it."
"Well, that's troublesome."
Feeling uncomfortable being looked at by these eyes, Xiaotong declined with some embarrassment.
Why haven't I heard anything from my brother at all...

In fact, if she had such an opportunity, she would certainly not want to miss it.
And just when she opened the office door, an enthusiastic voice came from behind the door, almost startling her unprepared.
Feeling uncomfortable being looked at by these eyes, Xiaotong declined with some embarrassment.

In fact, she is not unfamiliar with Princeton. It can even be said that she is relatively familiar with it.
"Since you have mastered certain theoretical knowledge, I will pay more attention to cultivating your abilities in other aspects... Speaking of which, Xiaotong, what academic conferences have you participated in before?"
Downstairs in Princeton's dormitory.
Professor Krugman asked curiously: "Have you lived there for a month? But I remember that you studied for your undergraduate degree at Jinling University and your master's degree at Oxford University... Are you an exchange student?"
"You should really thank me. I had already got off work yesterday. I got a call from the professor to come back and clean up my desk. He said that there was a freshman report." After glancing at the professor who came out of the office to answer the phone, Whistle shrugged. He made a helpless expression and said, "Generally speaking, it is the newcomer's job to clean up things that the previous owner did not take away, at least in our case... But Professor Krugman seems to take you very seriously."
He didn't insist on helping. Qin Yue nodded: "Okay, then I won't bother you. If you need help with anything, please tell me."

Feeling uncomfortable being looked at by these eyes, Xiaotong declined with some embarrassment.
Feeling uncomfortable being looked at by these eyes, Xiaotong declined with some embarrassment.
Xiaotong: "I went there with my tutor... but I haven't published any articles on it."
"Uh, it doesn't count... Visiting relatives overseas?" She didn't expect her instructor to investigate her so clearly. Xiaotong didn't know whether she should be flattered or surprised.
At the same time, the email included an address for his office.
She applied for this student apartment online. It is fully furnished and she can move in with just her bags.
A silver-white car appeared around the corner, its lights flashed and then stopped at the front door.
Xiaotong: "...Thank you."
She still vaguely remembered that her brother, who was a professor at Princeton at the time, also had a cute-looking, soft-spoken assistant who was probably not much older than her.
Xiaotong shook hands politely and said cautiously.
"You should really thank me. I had already got off work yesterday. I got a call from the professor to come back and clean up my desk. He said that there was a freshman report." After glancing at the professor who came out of the office to answer the phone, Whistle shrugged. He made a helpless expression and said, "Generally speaking, it is the newcomer's job to clean up things that the previous owner did not take away, at least in our case... But Professor Krugman seems to take you very seriously."
"Oh," Professor Krugman had a look of surprise on his face, and then he smiled heartily, "Then it seems I don't have to worry about you getting lost on campus. Many students who come here for the first time will encounter you. With this kind of confusion, there is no clear boundary between the town and the school here. It is easy to stroll around and you are actually far away from the school... Weisier, you can take this newcomer to get familiar with the work here. I Suddenly I have a call to answer, so I’ll leave it to you first.”
Krugman touched his beard and asked thoughtfully: "Is this a top-level meeting?"
Almost at the moment these words were spoken.
Xiaotong said sheepishly: "Not yet..."
Is this some kind of special welcome ceremony at Princeton
"Okay, professor." A thin doctoral student with some freckles on his face came over, pushed up the thick-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at Xiaotong, who was slightly embarrassed, and stretched out his right hand. , "Weasel, I'm studying for a Ph.D., nice to meet you."
"Haven't you been there? That's perfect!"
"No, I can do this little thing myself."
"Uh... Okay," he was a little surprised. What was wrong with his boss today? He was as enthusiastic as Santa Claus to a new student early in the morning. But Weasel didn't dare to ask more, just nodded and said The newcomer said, "Then I'll deal with the thesis first... I'll introduce it to you later."
The content of the email is very short and can be summarized simply in a few sentences. The general meaning is that she is welcome to choose Princeton. If she is ready to start her doctoral career, she can report to his office at any time.
"Since you have mastered certain theoretical knowledge, I will pay more attention to cultivating your abilities in other aspects... Speaking of which, Xiaotong, what academic conferences have you participated in before?"
"But... I am completely unprepared. Otherwise, you should bring others with you -"
In fact, if she had such an opportunity, she would certainly not want to miss it.
"Lu Xiaotong, right? Come with me."
"...Nice to meet you, Lu Xiaotong."
Clearing his throat, he continued.
Clearing his throat, he continued.
At the same time, the email included an address for his office.
The exhaustion of running all the way gradually hit my brain, and soon there was only the sound of steady breathing in the room.
The only thing that gave her a headache was that she had just flown over from Shanghai. If she went to this meeting with her tutor, it would mean that she would have to fly back soon...
"arrive."
At the same time, the email included an address for his office.
He didn't insist on helping. Qin Yue nodded: "Okay, then I won't bother you. If you need help with anything, please tell me."
Xiaotong shook hands politely and said cautiously.
"arrive."
As a Nobel Prize-level scholar and a master of macroeconomics who once created an era, Professor Krugman usually attends conferences and rarely takes students with him unless they are students he particularly values or this one. The student happened to be presenting at the conference.
Xiaotong said sheepishly: "Not yet..."
After unbuckling her seat belt, Xiaotong politely thanked her and said, "Thank you for coming to pick me up."
Thinking about her future campus life, she slept particularly peacefully. It wasn't until six or seven o'clock the next morning that she yawned and climbed out of bed...
"I have read your graduation thesis carefully many times, and it is very well written. Although there are some flaws in the theoretical part, it is not easy to write such a thesis at your age, even at a school like Princeton. In this place, such talent is rare.”
Xiaotong noticed that all the PhD and master's students in the office, including the senior fellow named Weisier, looked at her with obvious envy.
After saying goodbye to this old man’s former student, Professor Qin, who now teaches at Princeton, Xiaotong first went to the dormitory to get the key, and then stepped on the stairs briskly, carrying the undressed Suitcases with lots of stuff went upstairs.
"Lu Xiaotong, right? Come with me."
He didn't insist on helping. Qin Yue nodded: "Okay, then I won't bother you. If you need help with anything, please tell me."
Xiaotong nodded to this senior brother in a daze, and then looked at Professor Krugman with a warm smile on his face, a question mark on his face, and he didn't quite understand the situation.
With her fairly good memory and without much effort, she quickly found the office of her mentor, Professor Krugman, in the School of Economics.
It’s so enviable!
"I don't know if she is still there."
Weisier nodded, and then took Xiaotong to an empty desk by the window of the office, "From now on, this is where you will work and study. If there is anything you don't understand, You can ask me, or you can ask Professor Krugman directly... or other people in the office, and we will try our best to help you, but in most cases you still have to rely on yourself."
The exhaustion of running all the way gradually hit my brain, and soon there was only the sound of steady breathing in the room.
"Lu Xiaotong, right? Come with me."
And this guy...
And this guy...
So, after writing down the address, Xiaotong hurriedly finished her breakfast, simply put away the tableware, changed into fresh and clean clothes, and went out.
And this guy...
Xiaotong shook hands politely and said cautiously.
Xiaotong: "...Thank you."
Professor Krugman asked curiously: "Have you lived there for a month? But I remember that you studied for your undergraduate degree at Jinling University and your master's degree at Oxford University... Are you an exchange student?"
At that time, Xiaotong had not made up her mind to develop into academia, so she did not pay special attention to the well-known top conferences in her major. She only went to a few more ordinary conferences with her tutor.
"Well, that's troublesome."
"... I have lived here for a month before, and this is not my first time studying abroad. Anyway, I am quite used to it."
"But... I am completely unprepared. Otherwise, you should bring others with you -"
Xiaotong shook hands politely and said cautiously.
After hearing what her instructor said, Xiaotong couldn't say anything to refuse for a while.
Clearing his throat, he continued.
"You should really thank me. I had already got off work yesterday. I got a call from the professor to come back and clean up my desk. He said that there was a freshman report." After glancing at the professor who came out of the office to answer the phone, Whistle shrugged. He made a helpless expression and said, "Generally speaking, it is the newcomer's job to clean up things that the previous owner did not take away, at least in our case... But Professor Krugman seems to take you very seriously."
Reaching out and turning the car key, Qin Yue, who was sitting in the driver's seat, glanced to the side and said.
After almost a whole day of flying and driving all the way, I was finally able to lie down on a decent bed and have a good sleep.
She jumped back half a step like a frightened little rabbit. After confirming that the face was consistent with Professor Krugman in the photo, she calmed down and coughed lightly.
Looking at the calendar on her phone that had opened to a new page, Xiaotong went to the bathroom to wash up, then turned on her computer and sent an email to her future mentor, Professor Krugman.
Xiaotong said sheepishly: "Not yet..."
When she thought that she had to spend more than twenty hours in the sky, Xiaotong suddenly felt bad...
But because the little assistant was too afraid of strangers, she tried to take the initiative several times but failed to establish a deep friendship with her.
It’s so enviable!
Hearing that she had unintentionally caused such a big trouble to others, Xiaotong suddenly said with embarrassment: "Please tell me if you have such a thing in the future, I can just do it myself."
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
After checking into the room, Xiaotong spent about two hours simply cleaning up the room, and then took her information to Nassau Hall, which is the administrative building of Princeton, not far from here, to apply for the application. Completed the admission procedures.
"Uh... Okay," he was a little surprised. What was wrong with his boss today? He was as enthusiastic as Santa Claus to a new student early in the morning. But Weasel didn't dare to ask more, just nodded and said The newcomer said, "Then I'll deal with the thesis first... I'll introduce it to you later."
Xiaotong, who returned to the apartment after completing the enrollment procedures, leaned on the soft bed and stretched out comfortably.
"... I have lived here for a month before, and this is not my first time studying abroad. Anyway, I am quite used to it."
And this guy...
After unbuckling her seat belt, Xiaotong politely thanked her and said, "Thank you for coming to pick me up."
"It's okay, such a small thing is nothing to worry about," Weasel waved his hand casually and said casually, "Let me introduce you to the other people in the office first."
After checking into the room, Xiaotong spent about two hours simply cleaning up the room, and then took her information to Nassau Hall, which is the administrative building of Princeton, not far from here, to apply for the application. Completed the admission procedures.
Almost at the moment these words were spoken.
So, after writing down the address, Xiaotong hurriedly finished her breakfast, simply put away the tableware, changed into fresh and clean clothes, and went out.
In fact, she is not unfamiliar with Princeton. It can even be said that she is relatively familiar with it.
Several years ago, probably during the summer vacation after she had just finished her college entrance examination, she lived here for two months and did not go back until the end of the summer vacation when she reported to Jinda University.
"Welcome to Princeton! Classmate Xiaotong from China, are you still used to life here?"
"Um… "
"Lu Xiaotong, right? Come with me."
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
"Uh... Okay," he was a little surprised. What was wrong with his boss today? He was as enthusiastic as Santa Claus to a new student early in the morning. But Weasel didn't dare to ask more, just nodded and said The newcomer said, "Then I'll deal with the thesis first... I'll introduce it to you later."

It’s so enviable!
But because the little assistant was too afraid of strangers, she tried to take the initiative several times but failed to establish a deep friendship with her.
Just when Weisl was about to introduce other people in the office to the new student, the door of the office opened again, and Professor Krugman, who had gone out to make a phone call, came back with a smile on his face.
Unfortunately, her former tutor, Professor Foster, was not a particularly well-known expert in the field of macroeconomics, and most of the opportunities provided to her were not in academia, but the same as those of her senior brothers and sisters. Mainly focusing on internships at major investment banks.
So, after writing down the address, Xiaotong hurriedly finished her breakfast, simply put away the tableware, changed into fresh and clean clothes, and went out.
At that time, Xiaotong had not made up her mind to develop into academia, so she did not pay special attention to the well-known top conferences in her major. She only went to a few more ordinary conferences with her tutor.
"The call is over! Leave this to me, Weasel, you can go do your own thing first."
However, there is only one thing that Xiaotong and her brother are very similar to, and that is that they are unwilling to trouble others with their own affairs. Therefore, after hearing Qin Yue's offer to help carry the luggage, Xiaotong declined politely without even thinking about it.
With her fairly good memory and without much effort, she quickly found the office of her mentor, Professor Krugman, in the School of Economics.
Xiaotong nodded to this senior brother in a daze, and then looked at Professor Krugman with a warm smile on his face, a question mark on his face, and he didn't quite understand the situation.
Not minding at all that Xiaotong had no previous experience in participating in conferences, Professor Krugman's eyes lit up, he smiled and clapped his hands as if he had come up with a brilliant idea, and continued: "There will be a conference over there in Shanghai next week. An exchange conference in the field of macroeconomics. Participating in the top conference is an important academic qualification. Even if you don’t publish an article on it, it will be very rewarding for you to listen to it. There are also some academic conferences for young scholars, PHD, and master’s students. Award, if you have no experience participating in top conferences before, just come with me to see the world."
After unbuckling her seat belt, Xiaotong politely thanked her and said, "Thank you for coming to pick me up."
In fact, if she had such an opportunity, she would certainly not want to miss it.
"Uh... Okay," he was a little surprised. What was wrong with his boss today? He was as enthusiastic as Santa Claus to a new student early in the morning. But Weasel didn't dare to ask more, just nodded and said The newcomer said, "Then I'll deal with the thesis first... I'll introduce it to you later."
She jumped back half a step like a frightened little rabbit. After confirming that the face was consistent with Professor Krugman in the photo, she calmed down and coughed lightly.
"Uh, it doesn't count... Visiting relatives overseas?" She didn't expect her instructor to investigate her so clearly. Xiaotong didn't know whether she should be flattered or surprised.
"... I have lived here for a month before, and this is not my first time studying abroad. Anyway, I am quite used to it."
Xiaotong nodded to this senior brother in a daze, and then looked at Professor Krugman with a warm smile on his face, a question mark on his face, and he didn't quite understand the situation.
Xiaotong: "...Thank you."
Why haven't I heard anything from my brother at all...
A silver-white car appeared around the corner, its lights flashed and then stopped at the front door.
"Well, that's troublesome."
Hearing that she had unintentionally caused such a big trouble to others, Xiaotong suddenly said with embarrassment: "Please tell me if you have such a thing in the future, I can just do it myself."

"... I have lived here for a month before, and this is not my first time studying abroad. Anyway, I am quite used to it."
"It doesn't matter! It's just that you have learned a lot in the past, so you don't need to prepare." Professor Krugman interrupted Xiaotong without hesitation and continued, "One day you will have to publish an article at such a top conference. Now Getting familiar with it, even just familiarizing yourself with the meeting process, will be of great help to your future academic career!”
Walking over with a warm smile on his face, Professor Krugman looked at Xiaotong and asked in a gentle tone.
Xiaotong nodded to this senior brother in a daze, and then looked at Professor Krugman with a warm smile on his face, a question mark on his face, and he didn't quite understand the situation.
The only thing that gave her a headache was that she had just flown over from Shanghai. If she went to this meeting with her tutor, it would mean that she would have to fly back soon...
Although I have seriously considered whether I should wait for two days to settle down in my life before reporting, but considering that I have completed the enrollment registration, it is better to meet with the tutor as soon as possible, and at the same time leave a positive message to the tutor. impression.
After saying goodbye to this old man’s former student, Professor Qin, who now teaches at Princeton, Xiaotong first went to the dormitory to get the key, and then stepped on the stairs briskly, carrying the undressed Suitcases with lots of stuff went upstairs.
"Are Princeton professors so efficient?"
"Okay, professor." A thin doctoral student with some freckles on his face came over, pushed up the thick-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at Xiaotong, who was slightly embarrassed, and stretched out his right hand. , "Weasel, I'm studying for a Ph.D., nice to meet you."

Downstairs in Princeton's dormitory.
Thinking about her future campus life, she slept particularly peacefully. It wasn't until six or seven o'clock the next morning that she yawned and climbed out of bed...

"Walk slowly."
Clearing his throat, he continued.
She was a little surprised when she opened the email. She was originally prepared to report to her mentor in two days, but she didn't expect to receive a reply in less than an hour.
"... I have lived here for a month before, and this is not my first time studying abroad. Anyway, I am quite used to it."
"Since you have mastered certain theoretical knowledge, I will pay more attention to cultivating your abilities in other aspects... Speaking of which, Xiaotong, what academic conferences have you participated in before?"

In fact, if she had such an opportunity, she would certainly not want to miss it.
When he was studying at Princeton, he had been taken care of by Lu Zhou. Now it was finally his turn to repay his mentor's kindness. At least in his opinion, this little thing is nothing, it is all what he should do.
Several years ago, probably during the summer vacation after she had just finished her college entrance examination, she lived here for two months and did not go back until the end of the summer vacation when she reported to Jinda University.

He didn't insist on helping. Qin Yue nodded: "Okay, then I won't bother you. If you need help with anything, please tell me."

Many students who come here for the first time will encounter you. With this kind of confusion, there is no clear boundary between the town and the school here. It is easy to stroll around and you are actually far away from the school... Weisier, you can take this newcomer to get familiar with the work here.

Xiaotong shook hands politely and said cautiously.
It has been less than a day since the report, and even less than an hour since I walked into this office, and I have been treated like a "VIP"...

She jumped back half a step like a frightened little rabbit. After confirming that the face was consistent with Professor Krugman in the photo, she calmed down and coughed lightly.
The exhaustion of running all the way gradually hit my brain, and soon there was only the sound of steady breathing in the room.
At that time, Xiaotong had not made up her mind to develop into academia, so she did not pay special attention to the well-known top conferences in her major. She only went to a few more ordinary conferences with her tutor.
It’s so enviable!

"No, I can do this little thing myself."
Downstairs in Princeton's dormitory.
After checking into the room, Xiaotong spent about two hours simply cleaning up the room, and then took her information to Nassau Hall, which is the administrative building of Princeton, not far from here, to apply for the application. Completed the admission procedures.
Feeling uncomfortable being looked at by these eyes, Xiaotong declined with some embarrassment.
She still vaguely remembered that her brother, who was a professor at Princeton at the time, also had a cute-looking, soft-spoken assistant who was probably not much older than her.
Professor Krugman asked curiously: "Have you lived there for a month? But I remember that you studied for your undergraduate degree at Jinling University and your master's degree at Oxford University... Are you an exchange student?"
The exhaustion of running all the way gradually hit my brain, and soon there was only the sound of steady breathing in the room.
Xiaotong, who returned to the apartment after completing the enrollment procedures, leaned on the soft bed and stretched out comfortably.
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
"It's okay, such a small thing is nothing to worry about," Weasel waved his hand casually and said casually, "Let me introduce you to the other people in the office first."
Xiaotong nodded to this senior brother in a daze, and then looked at Professor Krugman with a warm smile on his face, a question mark on his face, and he didn't quite understand the situation.
"But... I am completely unprepared. Otherwise, you should bring others with you -"
Xiaotong shook hands politely and said cautiously.
Xiaotong shook hands politely and said cautiously.
"Haven't you been there? That's perfect!"
But because the little assistant was too afraid of strangers, she tried to take the initiative several times but failed to establish a deep friendship with her.
"Are Princeton professors so efficient?"
The content of the email is very short and can be summarized simply in a few sentences. The general meaning is that she is welcome to choose Princeton. If she is ready to start her doctoral career, she can report to his office at any time.
Almost as soon as she prepared breakfast for herself, a reply flew into her mailbox.
"It doesn't matter! It's just that you have learned a lot in the past, so you don't need to prepare." Professor Krugman interrupted Xiaotong without hesitation and continued, "One day you will have to publish an article at such a top conference. Now Getting familiar with it, even just familiarizing yourself with the meeting process, will be of great help to your future academic career!”
It has been less than a day since the report, and even less than an hour since I walked into this office, and I have been treated like a "VIP"...
Several years ago, probably during the summer vacation after she had just finished her college entrance examination, she lived here for two months and did not go back until the end of the summer vacation when she reported to Jinda University.
It’s so enviable!
Just when Weisl was about to introduce other people in the office to the new student, the door of the office opened again, and Professor Krugman, who had gone out to make a phone call, came back with a smile on his face.
"Lu Xiaotong, right? Come with me."
After hearing what her instructor said, Xiaotong couldn't say anything to refuse for a while.
Downstairs in Princeton's dormitory.
With her fairly good memory and without much effort, she quickly found the office of her mentor, Professor Krugman, in the School of Economics.
"...Nice to meet you, Lu Xiaotong."
And just when she opened the office door, an enthusiastic voice came from behind the door, almost startling her unprepared.
A silver-white car appeared around the corner, its lights flashed and then stopped at the front door.
She was a little surprised when she opened the email. She was originally prepared to report to her mentor in two days, but she didn't expect to receive a reply in less than an hour.
In fact, if she had such an opportunity, she would certainly not want to miss it.
Is this some kind of special welcome ceremony at Princeton
As a Nobel Prize-level scholar and a master of macroeconomics who once created an era, Professor Krugman usually attends conferences and rarely takes students with him unless they are students he particularly values or this one. The student happened to be presenting at the conference.

"Um… "
Several years ago, probably during the summer vacation after she had just finished her college entrance examination, she lived here for two months and did not go back until the end of the summer vacation when she reported to Jinda University.
The only thing that gave her a headache was that she had just flown over from Shanghai. If she went to this meeting with her tutor, it would mean that she would have to fly back soon...
Walking over with a warm smile on his face, Professor Krugman looked at Xiaotong and asked in a gentle tone.
"Uh, it doesn't count... Visiting relatives overseas?" She didn't expect her instructor to investigate her so clearly. Xiaotong didn't know whether she should be flattered or surprised.
She still vaguely remembered that her brother, who was a professor at Princeton at the time, also had a cute-looking, soft-spoken assistant who was probably not much older than her.
When she thought that she had to spend more than twenty hours in the sky, Xiaotong suddenly felt bad...
Why haven't I heard anything from my brother at all...
"arrive."
The exhaustion of running all the way gradually hit my brain, and soon there was only the sound of steady breathing in the room.
And just when she opened the office door, an enthusiastic voice came from behind the door, almost startling her unprepared.
Krugman touched his beard and asked thoughtfully: "Is this a top-level meeting?"
