Liu Chenfeng walked out of Qiao Ze's office in a daze, not heading straight back, but standing in the corridor, staring blankly at the outside view. It took him a while to fully come to his senses.
The good news was that the project was truly finished, and the paper had already been confirmed to be published in "Mathematics Annual".
And given Qiao Ze's personality, the corresponding author and the first author would definitely be Qiao Ze himself, but he would surely still give him a second authorship.
Even though he really hadn't contributed much this time.
The bad news was, carefully pondering Qiao Ze's attitude just now, it seemed highly likely that after this project was finished, the young boss he'd been pining for would probably be too lazy to take him on anymore.
Liu Chenfeng actually could understand, he wouldn't want to mentor someone who couldn't help much, yet had to share the honors.
But he felt helpless about it.
