The mood became even more complex.
Envious of Qiao Yu for getting such meticulous guidance from a big-shot academician. This is genuine closed-door disciple treatment, and the especially doted kind.
Forget academicians; even ordinary mentors are unlikely to guide their students so attentively and devotedly.
Anyone who has been a graduate student under someone with concrete administrative duties knows that big-shots generally won't PUA students, but they also won't really care about your papers, your studies, or whether you can graduate. They might not even remember you at graduation...
Usually, it's a junior mentor who handles the supervision, and of course, the degree of their responsibility varies from person to person. So, the master's level students developed by big-shots can vary greatly.
Yet, Qiao Yu is enjoying special treatment from an academician mentor who, even during lunch with just a boxed meal, takes time to guide him.
