Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 162 - 95: Rapid Change in Status_3

Lan Jie looked at the message and couldn’t help but laugh. But then again, this seems to be the normal human response.

After all, even people who don’t know much about mathematics know the status of Mr. Tian in the Huaxia mathematics community, not to mention within the Huaxia education system.

Just as he was about to continue explaining on WeChat, a video message came directly from the other side.

Alright, no need for him to explain then. Lan Jie casually clicked to accept.

Soon, the video connected, and Zhang Tiejun’s face appeared on the phone screen. He wasn’t in the office, but in a car. It was unclear whether he was heading to a meeting or on the way back to school after a meeting.

"Oh? Is it really you? Teacher Lan, is what you said on WeChat just now true?"

"Principal Zhang, it couldn’t be truer. I reckon if I didn’t inform you, Captain Luo would also report it, and someone else should notify you later." Lan Jie suppressed the excitement in his heart and spoke in a steady tone.

"Is this true? Did Academician Tian visit you personally and made a definite commitment?"

"Yes, he personally asked me and Captain Luo to be witnesses."

"Ah?"

From the video, Lan Jie could see that Principal Zhang’s mind was clearly also in a state of short circuit.

Next to him, Qiao Yu overheard Lan Jie chatting with Principal Zhang and simply leaned over, waved at the camera, and greeted: "Hi, Principal Zhang, sorry, I won’t be able to go to Railway First Middle School next semester."

Seeing Qiao Yu, Zhang Tiejun seemed to suddenly come to his senses and quickly said, "Oh, it’s fine, don’t worry. The school promises made before will still be honored. By the way, since you won’t be at school next semester, we’ll also refund you the fees for this semester’s tuition and meals!"

Hearing this, Qiao Yu felt a bit embarrassed.

He truly came this time just to say hello and didn’t even consider the refund of half a semester’s fees. Principal Zhang was slightly underestimating him.

He’s someone who’s going to Yanbei, does he care about a few thousand bucks? Where’s the scale?

But the power of habit is strong. Even though these thoughts were circling in his mind, what came out was: "Thank you, Principal Zhang."

"Congratulations, Qiao Yu. Go ahead and take care of your things. I’m about to reach the school, and there are a lot of things to handle here."

"Oh, then I’ll go watch videos. By the way, don’t tell my mom yet; I want to surprise her when I get back."

"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep it a secret for you!"

Qiao Yu left satisfied, and Zhang Tiejun ended the video, but a WeChat message arrived immediately.

"Teacher Lan, what exactly happened then? Tell me in detail, especially what Academician Tian said at the time."

Lan Jie, feeling helpless, started to type.

Though he isn’t a Chinese teacher, he has basic writing skills. Especially for someone studying mathematics, his memory isn’t bad, not to mention everything that just happened is fresh in his mind, recounting it from start to finish is naturally not a problem.

Which led to several astonished questions from Principal Zhang on the other side.

"What? Qiao Yu independently completed a high-quality paper? And plans to submit it to a well-known international mathematics journal?"

"Huh? Coaching Yujiang University’s graduate students on how to write papers? For a fee? Oh my, Xiao Lan, not to criticize you, but you’re not concerned enough about Qiao Yu. How come you didn’t know about these things earlier?"

"Look, luckily, it was Academician Tian who saw this on Qiao Yu’s computer. If he hadn’t seen it, we might have missed it. If we had known earlier, even if Qiao Yu didn’t promote himself, we could have helped him promote it!"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness..."

Lan Jie ignored the obviously excited response from Principal Zhang on the other end, anyway he had just reported everything that happened. Having finally finished writing the last long part, he sent it over, and the other side replied: "Alright, I have a call coming in, talk later."

Great, anyway, he completed his reporting task.

Just as he was about to scroll through his phone to relax, there was a knock at the door.

This time Lan Jie stood up to open the door. It was Captain Luo, who had returned, looking jubilant.

"Captain Luo, has Academician Tian gone to the airport?"

"Yes, he’s already left. I just sent Academician Tian with everyone to the special car prepared by the organizing committee to the airport before coming back." Captain Luo kindly replied.

"Oh, that’s good." Lan Jie casually replied.

Honestly, at this moment he didn’t know what to chat about with this Captain Luo.

He felt he needed time to slowly digest everything that happened today.

"By the way, tonight the organizers are inviting guests for a meal, so you don’t need to eat at the hotel. Just wait in your room, and I’ll come get you when it’s time. We’ll go eat together." Captain Luo explained his purpose.

"Huh? That’s not necessary, is it? The kid has exams tomorrow. I think Academician Tian probably doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it." Lan Jie instinctively wanted to refuse, knowing Qiao Yu wouldn’t bother attending such meaningless dinners.

"But the organizers have already extended the invitation, it’d be rude to refuse. Plus, with the exams tomorrow, they need to avoid suspicion and can’t come to your room to invite you, so they asked me to notify you. And think about it, if Academician Tian didn’t want people to know his plans, couldn’t he have just asked Qiao Yu over privately? Right?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Captain Luo pointed out.

Lan Jie was stunned for a moment, then silently nodded, saying: "Alright, I’ll talk to Qiao Yu about it later."

Although... but... he’s still a bit unaccustomed to it.

"Alright, I’ll come get you when it’s time. Just follow me then, I won’t disturb you any longer." Captain Luo smiled and nodded at Lan Jie, then turned and left.

Secretly feeling a bit emotional inside.

This math teacher has really hit the jackpot...
